Chapter 194 The Myth of Humanity
Many days have passed since that massive and earth-shattering assassination, and it didn’t take long, but all this seemed like a world away.
The terrifying Master Lawrence died in the roar of anger like the fall of the kingdom of heaven. For this reason, the fire of sin burned for several days before slowly extinguishing.
Lorenzo is still in a daze. He can't believe that he can really survive. Sometimes he can't help but pinch his face to judge the truth and falsehood. After all, judging from the state of his body at that time, even if Even if God came, he couldn't save himself, but... but in the end he still survived.
I still remember that when I just woke up, I actually woke up in the workshop, which is the huge experimental field that regulates the armor of original sin. Just when Lorenzo woke up a strange ceiling for this time, there was a beam of light above his head. A loud voice sounded from the loudspeaker, and kindly said good morning to him.
Scared Lorenzo got up from the bed with a carp, and then saw everyone hiding on the high platform.
It’s nice to see those familiar faces, although they look at themselves strangely, as if they were some stinking virus.
For safety reasons, Merlin needed to do a series of checks on Lorenzo. Although he was not on the scene at the time, through Arthur’s report, he also knew the weird and terrifying situation at that time.
In order to prevent Lorenzo from changing, Merlin temporarily placed him in the workshop. In his words at the time, the vast space would not give Lorenzo any pressure. Of course, this vast space can also be used. So that it can be covered by heavy firepower, and there is enough space for the original sin armor to enter the arena to suppress it.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, and the physical indicators were all normal, but they did not release Lorenzo immediately, but sent him here overnight.
Lorenzo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the vast snow scene outside.
There are no gray buildings, no towering steam towers, no railroad tracks all over the street, and no rising steam.
The sky was unexpectedly clear, and the sun was too red.
Everything has a rare sense of normality, it seems that this is the normal world, and the old spirit of Lorenzo lived in a strange and twisted unknown place.
Lorenzo couldn't help crying when he thought of this place, what kind of horrible life he had had before.
This is an old castle located in the outskirts of Old Dunling. It is said that it was once the property of a certain nobleman. Later, the land was recovered after that nobleman went bankrupt, and finally fell into the hands of the cleaning agency.
Then it became a warehouse-like place, full of weird but harmless things collected by the cleaning agencies over the years. In Lorenzo's opinion, this is a strange museum, but he likes it very much. In the past few days, he has discovered a lot of good things.
Except for Lorenzo and the remaining three unlucky men responsible for monitoring him, not many people live here, and the rest of the manpower is maintained at the level of ensuring the minimum operation of the castle.
Although it was to observe Lorenzo in isolation, these people all lived on vacation. Except for the Kestrel who had to write a report on Lorenzo's physical condition every day, there was nothing serious to do in one day.
At first, Lorenzo was still a little uncomfortable. After all, the Demon Hunter had been running for so long, and suddenly stopped, but Lorenzo soon demonstrated the powerful adaptability of the Demon Hunter.
From a cold and terrible witcher to a lazy dog who adapts to this slow-paced life, if it were not for the strong opposition of the Kestrel, Lorenzo really wanted to move the bed to the fireplace.
It’s so good, quiet and peaceful, there are no swords and shadows, no guns and guns, even the cute monsters are gone.
Lorenzo rarely feels the beauty of life. The most important activity for him every day is to take a nap in the sun. It is rare to see the sun in the old town, most of the time you can only see the gloomy The clouds are dyed pale gold by it.
"Ah... a good holiday..."
Lorenzo couldn't help sighing.
Of course, this also has its flaws, that is, the Kestrel, who bothers him every day, always asks Lorenzo to cooperate with him in writing reports.
"You write the report as you write it! But what are you doing to bother me!" Lorenzo asked.
"But the report is about you!" Kestrel said.
"If you have anything to do with me, you have to do with me, but why are you bothering me!"
"Because it is the report of your physical condition!"
This kind of dialogue basically occurs once a day, and each time it ends with the ghost call of Kestrel's self-defeating.
To be honest, Lorenzo enjoyed the process of torturing the Kestrel very much, which gave him a strange sense of satisfaction. He suddenly understood the boring and evil tastes of human beings.
Hugging up the blanket and wrapping it around him, Lorenzo wandered around the castle in a bored time.
This is indeed a museum. Strange and strange boxes fill most of the space. Objects with different styles and functions are everywhere, with mysterious and mysterious colors. If the glass is broken and the spider web is placed, it will be built in minutes. It feels like an ominous castle.
It is a pity that there is a demon hunter among the current residents, or the kind that can be slashed. No matter what weird legend is in front of Lorenzo, it seems pale and weak.
"This is actually Merlin's castle."
Joey came over and spoke to Lorenzo.
During the time we are getting along with each other, the relationship between them is fairly harmonious. After all, Lorenzo has always been adhering to the habit of meeting people, talking to people, talking to people, hell, and talk nonsense.
The reason why the Kestrel is so funny is that after the Kestrel was so engaged by Lorenzo, the feeling of powerlessness and rage is very interesting. If you change to Joey, he will look seriously at himself repeating the needs again, while the Robin does. Will always stare at myself seriously until I cooperate.
A serious person and a devout believer, Kestrel is a bit interesting in this way. Among these people, his rotten character accounted for the highest proportion, and he was the most compatible with Lorenzo's brain circuit.
"Merlin's Castle?"
Lorenzo looked surprised. After spending so long together, Merlin felt that he was a scholar with extremely low material needs.
Mysterious, there is no past, and he doesn’t look like a guy with a future. In some respects, he is somewhat similar to a demon hunter.
"Yes, but Arthur originally gave it to him here. After all, it is the chief technology officer and always needs a decent residence, right?" Joey said.
Lorenzo glanced around the room. Things were piled up in a mess. When they first came, it took Lorenzo a long time to clear a place for a nap by the fireplace.
"Well... it was a bit unexpected, but it was expected."
is indeed Merlin’s style. The collected things are piled up here indiscriminately. He doesn't live here at all.
Lorenzo seemed to have thought of something again, and asked in a low voice.
"There won't be any weird alchemy laboratory here, after all, the castle with science lunatics could not be perfect."
Joy looked helpless.
"We have strict regulations on the removal of agencies. Even if Merlin wants to transfer materials and equipment related to alchemy to the outside world, he needs to record."
"real?"
"real!"
Joey said solemnly.
Lorenzo is like that. There is no extra entertainment in this strange resort, and no monsters come out to let him chop and relieve his boredom.
So this neurosis hits the target on Joey and the others, and when he doesn't pay attention, he starts to corrode you with bad words, trying to drag you into the water. The Kestrel has been recruited, and he is going farther and farther on the road of hysteria.
Joy didn't want to be like this, he was extremely vigilant.
"But there is a room specially arranged by Merlin. Do you want to visit it?"
Lorenzo's face was positive.
"Why don't you take out such a good thing earlier."
Joy gave him a white look. Who knew this guy was so annoying. If he had some fun, Kestrel’s mental health would be seriously threatened.
"As you said, these things have been collected over the years, just like some weird artworks. Merlin really likes these things and even wanted to build a museum. But because of his busy work, he sorted them out. After a part, there will be no more time."
Joy said while leading the way.
"Of course, it may be that the alchemist's thinking is different. I have seen those things before, and I don't know what they mean... Anyway, just let you be quiet, just don't toss."
Joy did not understand Lorenzo's tossing very much. For them, the vacation was a far away thing. As high-ranking knights who cleaned organs, they were one of the very few humans who were specialized and resistant to erosion.
But this also means that once demons appear, they will be the most important backbone. That is to say, the mortality rate is extremely high. Joey does not expect much performance in his work. He can retire safely. Good luck. After all, the only benefit of this high-risk job is excellent retirement benefits.
According to the regulations on the elimination of agencies, Joey will be gradually removed from the first echelon due to the connection with the monsters and transferred to the scavengers unit. He will continue to establish contact with the monsters until he has no more work related to the monsters. This situation will last for several years, and then he will leave the decontamination agency satisfactorily.
At that time, I will forget about the rivers and lakes with everyone, and spend the rest of my life in a small town where you can get the sun.
Joy sighed. In the crazy life, the peace now seems so rare and precious.
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly."
Lorenzo nodded. For him, the demon hunter did not have to say that he had retired. Compared to retirement, it is still boring that makes him unbearable now.
ascended the stairs and reached the top of the castle. The actions of the two also attracted the attention of Robin. He came to him holding the scriptures Lorenzo had read many times.
The three had a strange tacit understanding, and finally Joey pushed open the dusty door.
The door was pushed open, and bright light poured down. The dome of the castle is made of glass. Among the steel brackets, you can see the remaining snow on the glass and the dead leaves of autumn. The air is thick and heavy. Feeling, the dust rolled in the dim light, like falling snow.
"not bad."
Lorenzo exclaimed, and then stepped into it.
It's not so much a museum, it's more a neatly organized warehouse, where different objects are piled up into hills, and among them there are things like desks.
After walking for a few laps, Lorenzo began to understand what Joey was talking about, because these things are a bit strange. A rope knot hangs in a delicate glass case, and a huge nautical chart is placed on a dusty desk. , There are rulers and compasses, blank paper scattered on the ground, and a pile of science books.
There are no rules at all, and there is no significant value. Even a thief will cry when he sneaks in.
Stacked in the other corner are wooden wheels, coins in a box, a copy of the Inverweg Code, a complicated lock, and an ancient firearm. Of course, these things don’t take up much space. What really catches the eye is the most central thing.
That is a steam engine.
Different from the steam engine in Lorenzo’s impression, it is much more bloated and complicated. It looks very old, but it is well maintained.
There is a bright nameplate on the base that says it.
"In 867 years of Inverwege calendar, this will be the power to change the world."
Lorenzo remembers that time period, when Inverweg was still in the glorious war, and the improved steam engine appeared to reverse the situation.
He suddenly knew what this was. The steam engine in front of him was probably the first improved steam engine in history. It was this thing that triggered the second industrial revolution.
If struck by lightning, Lorenzo suddenly understood what it was here and what Merlin did.
Looking at the messy things around, they suddenly all have their own meaning at this moment, making Lorenzo's hands and feet numb, but this is not because of fear, but of excitement.
"This is a history museum."
Lorenzo said.
Joey cast a puzzled look, he obviously didn't understand Lorenzo's meaning, and then Lorenzo continued talking, his gaze scanned everything in the room, and he saw the darkness ignite in a daze. The first fire, the huddled human slowly stood up.
It seems that there is a magnificent band playing at this moment, the melody rises vigorously, and the sonata "So Says Zarathustra".
"Merlin's taste is really good."
Lorenzo sighed again, but looking at Joey and Robin's more bewildered gaze, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. It seemed that he couldn't ask everyone to be as talented as himself. After all, expecting others to be too high was the first time. Disrespectful offense.
"This is a history museum that records the great moments of mankind."
Lorenzo gently stroked the wooden table and wiped the dust off it. He remembered the death of alchemy that Merlin had told him. It seemed that the alchemist was not joking, he was serious.
But just now, she had a look of admiration, but Lorenzo sat down on the wooden table and looked at you triumphantly.
"In fact, you can call this a ‘book’."
"What book?" Joey kept up with Lorenzo's brain circuit as much as possible.
"Mythology."
The word caught the Robin’s attention. He looked at Lorenzo and saw Lorenzo continue to speak.
"The myth of mankind."
Since the beginning of darkness, and fighting with fear, it is a myth that has not been cut off.
