Ember Gun

  Chapter 594 Optimism

I opened my eyes slowly, and I entered the familiar ceiling, which was covered with all kinds of strange posters, some new and old, and some were not firmly attached. And swayed slightly.

"Good morning."

  Lorenzo muttered to himself, not knowing who he was saying hello.

He was awake and lay lazily for a few minutes before he got up slowly, stepped on his slippers and walked to the table, picked up the bottle of wine left last night, and suffocated the remaining mouthful, but then Lorenzo He coughed loudly and dropped the wine bottle on the ground.

  Dark wine stains spread all over his mouth, and he also carried piles of soot.

  Drinking a bit dizzy yesterday, Lorenzo forgot that he used the wine bottle as an ashtray, and the disgusting taste spread in his mouth. He tried to run to the bathroom to rinse his mouth, but he kicked it on the corner of the table.

"damn it!"

  This foot hurt so much that the hunk man shed tears. He yelled and approached the bathroom. Because this foot made the table slightly shaken, he knocked down the gun that was leaning on the table.

  It fell over and lay across Lorenzo's body, tripping him.

With a bang, Lorenzo fell to the ground severely.

   "Fuck! Fuck!"

   Constantly shouting and cursing.

It’s almost like moving and demolition. Lorenzo’s room made constant noises and clanging. After a while, he calmed down completely. When he opened the door, Lorenzo looked tired. It only took a few minutes to get up.

  It only takes a few bad minutes to easily destroy a beautiful day.

  Lorenzo walked down the dusty stairs and came to the living room on the first floor, in his office.

The trip to the sea of ​​silence took him several months, and during this time, although Eve also called people to help Lorenzo clean the room, but after Lorenzo returned, those people stopped coming, so the room The place was covered with dust again.

  Of course, Lorenzo is also trying to change himself. For example, when he is idle, he will sweep the floor and throw some garbage at the door instead of piled in the house.

  It’s just that sometimes Lorenzo’s attention will be drawn away by some other things, causing him to ignore these details of life at all.

  I saw that the entire living room was remodeled roughly by him. The sofa and seat were pushed aside, and a long table was horizontally in the center. It was piled with drawings and some mechanical parts, and there were several weapons to be assembled leaning on the side.

  Lorenzo went into the kitchen, looked for the sausage and bread left over from yesterday, picked up the plate, and walked to the side of the long table.

It has been almost a month since Lorenzo returned from the Sea of ​​Silence, and the world's tense situation has continued for another month. The sword is in the string. No one knows how long this situation will continue, and it may continue. One year or six months, there may be war tomorrow.

  Fork the cold sausage, Lorenzo was eating, while rummaging for something on the long table, and finally found a newspaper from a few months ago, when Lorenzo was still in the sea of ​​silence.

  "The Armor of Original Sin..."

  Chewing food in his mouth, Lorenzo made a vague sound.

  In order to deter nations and to continue to delay the war, Inervig ordered the third-generation original sin armor to be exposed to the world’s vision. Judging from this crude propaganda method, this will be a war machine that will revolutionize the world.

  It's just that Lorenzo is a little worried about this. He understands Inervig's intentions, but still feels something wrong.

  This is a weapon used to fight against demons, but now it appears on the chessboard of people.

  But...in fact, it's almost the same. All of this itself is a civil war of mankind, and the history of mankind is also an evolutionary history of war.

  Thinking about this, Lorenzo saw a heavy ripple in his cup, and a faint sense of shock came. Looking at the window, a tall black shadow blocked the light.

  Lorenzo ate all the remaining sausages in one bite, walked out in gray pajamas, opened the door, the hot steam filled his ears, and people shouted in exclamation.

The icy machine is exposed in front of you. Its exterior design is very restrained, mostly to make it more acceptable to the public. The whole body is wrapped in arc-shaped armor, which is tightly protected by the machine, and it does not carry too many weapons. Some only have sharp knives fixed to the elbows, the machine guns are carried behind them, and the bullet chains are exposed.

  This is a three-generation armor, a new model of "violence suppressor" developed by Perpetual Pump.

It is not so much a new model, but rather a castrated version of Sword Dancer. Most of the external armor and fuel tanks have been disassembled. The deadliest giant double swords have also been removed. The weapon rack has also been stripped away, leaving only the minimum. Armed, the overall structure is constantly being weakened, and the flesh and blood of the demon is only concentrated in the central frame. Fortunately, the used paint antimony fills in the problem of power, allowing this big guy to act.

  There is also a gray coating on its shoulder armor, and a soldier with a weapon is followed by its side.

In order to appease the panicked people, but also to demonstrate their own force, after the exposure of the three generations of armor, these three generations of patrolling armor appeared on the streets of Old Dunling. They are not many in number, but they have a strong deterrent. They are also very easy to accept in the ghost place of Jiudunling.

Think about it, too, the citizens of Old Dunling are more or less minded than the citizens of other places. There are huge iron whales floating in the sky, dense railroad tracks covering the ground, not to mention that every time the night is getting up, they are rushing. Water vapor is rising from the ground.

Now there are just a few more war machines patrolling the streets. Everyone quickly became accustomed to it, and it may be out of a weird love for "large robots." It is said that many young people have signed up for soldiers after seeing this thing. Ask what kind of arms you can use this stuff.

  Lorenzo leaned against the door, witnessing the thing leaving his field of vision.

   "A new era."

  He muttered in a low voice, thinking of the spikes and guns in the house, and thinking of his identity as a demon hunter. At this moment, Lorenzo also clearly felt the sense of changes in the times.

  Lorenzo is the last demon hunter of the old order, with pure secret blood continuing on his body.

He remembered that Oscar had come to see him a few days ago. This old guy thanked him for his great achievements. It seemed that Lorenzo’s credit was also counted on his head, although this guy did nothing, and then he said something about his successor. The matter, listen to what he meant, Oscar should also retire.

  Oscar really should retire, take a closer look, Oscar's life is also quite a failure, just like Lorenzo.

   "Successor?"

  Lorenzo thought for a while, and completely threw the idea of ​​this successor out of his mind.

  The secret blood is not a good thing, the erosion of its connection, and even the unspeakable ones.

On the way back from Jihai, Lorenzo was not happy. He thought about a lot of things. It was not easy to cut off the road to sublimation, and he could not think of a perfect solution. After all, the ancestors tried so many times. , Also failed, and for a moment, he was suspicious of himself.

   Returning to the house, Lorenzo picked up an apple, and then removed the hand axe from the target hung on the wall.

  This is a rather savage hand axe with several Viking characters crookedly engraved on it. Lorenzo can’t understand it, but Hybold explained that the word is “courage”.

  This is a gift from Haibod to Lorenzo.

After the Journey to the Sea of ​​Silence, Hybbod did not return to Inervig with the Chenhui Advance. He chose to stay in the Viking countries. The secret fight between the king and the lords still existed, and he had sworn allegiance to the Sea of ​​Ice King.

   is very reluctant to give up, but there is no way.

  Galon returned to Lengbing Bay and rebuilding Lengbing Bay. He will become the new lord...

   Thinking of this, Lorenzo looked hesitant.

  Karon is the new lord, who is the old lord?

  Lorenzo thought hard, but couldn't remember what he looked like, so let's just think about it. It doesn't matter anyway.

   Leaning on the sofa, Lorenzo put his feet on the long table and shaved the apple skin with Hybade's hand axe. The technique was exquisite, and the apple skin was not broken after a round of shave.

Then……

   "Froggy Wilgardson."

  Lorenzo whispered the name softly.

  After returning from the Sea of ​​Silence, they stopped in the Viking countries for a while. Lorenzo entrusted many people to inquire about the name, but they found nothing. No one in the Vikings knew the existence of this person.

  Some people doubted whether Lorenzo had burnt his brain in the sea of ​​silence, and imagined such a person, but Lorenzo knew very well that Froki was real.

   "Sorry, I still don't know who you are."

  Lorenzo bit on the apple, chewing and talking, his gaze slowly rose and landed on the wall at the end of the long table.

   There was originally a map of Madame Van Lourdes hanging there, but it was now disassembled by Lorenzo and installed with Lorenzo's map... To be precise, it was a map of the western world of Frocky Wilgdason.

Frocky’s mind has the most comprehensive sea chart of the Western world, which depicts the remote seas and islands in detail. Lorenzo commissioned the cleaning agency to help him collect maps of other countries. After continuous stitching and correction, Luo Renzo used these maps to draw the most detailed map of the Western world.

At this moment, this huge map is drawing red crosses one after another. There are about a dozen of them, scattered on different lands, some in no man’s land, some in the city, and Is located under the sea.

  The closest red cross to Lorenzo is in Inervig, just far west.

   Seeing there, Lorenzo couldn't help but feel a little dazed, remembering that it was about two years ago. At about this position, Lorenzo began to return to his old business, killing back and forth in Ende Town.

Lorenzo squinted slightly, like a cat sleeping soundly. No one knew what he was thinking, but suddenly the door rang, interrupting his sound sleep, and raised his head, only to see a figure standing at the door. .

   "Luo! Ren! Zo!"

  The man at the door deliberately lengthened his voice, opened his hands, and shouted loudly.

  At this moment, Lorenzo suddenly felt a familiar feeling. He always felt that such embarrassing shouts had been heard before, but he was not a person who would suffer, and he shouted directly together.

   "Red! Falcon!"

  Lorenzo got up from the sofa with a carp, then stepped over the long table and hugged the figure at the door.

Well, the hug failed. Just when the two were about to hug each other, Lorenzo deliberately turned his body, pretending that his feet were slippery and not jumping, and an elbow hit the Kestrel’s belly. He Immediately, a face of death hit back, and then fell down with Lorenzo.

   "To be honest, Kestrel, although it is nice to see you again, your excessive enthusiasm is really physically uncomfortable."

  Lorenzo quickly got up, shaking the dust on his body, and then reached out his hand to the fallen Kestrel.

Returning to Inervig for so long, this is the first time Lorenzo has seen the Kestrel again. It is said that this guy was assigned a huge number of tasks after his vacation. Plan for a promotion.

  I was so happy for Kestrel at the time, and worked hard, but after working for a while, Kestrel realized that he seemed to be deceived.

  Unfortunately, when Kestrel realized that it was too late, and now this guy had just finished his endless overtime work, crawling back from the west in mud.

   "Forget it, because you have made me so much money, I will let you go this time."

  Kestrel clutched his belly and got up, still having ruthless words in his mouth.

"make money?"

  Lorenzo looked at the Kestrel curiously.

   "Merlin, as you know, he has been to Jihai, so bet you can come back for this."

  Lorenzo was happy. I didn't expect Merlin to do this kind of thing, but it was quite reasonable. He was not surprised by what the perpetual pump had done.

   "Are you bet I will come back?"

   "Yes, I made a lot of money."

  Judging from the excitement of the Kestrel, this time he is indeed making a lot of money. Lorenzo glanced at him and then stretched out his hand.

  "?"

   "Five to five divided."

   "???"

  Lorenzo did not know where he drew another Viking hand axe, and slashed it on the door frame beside the Kestrel.

   "???"

  Kestrel looked at Lorenzo nervously. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.

  It’s just that the Kestrel never expected that Mr. Holmes would be interested in his three cents.

   Just as the Kestrel was thinking about whether to give money or to beat his eyes with evil to the bile, Lorenzo was suddenly happy.

   "Just kidding, it's better to grab a bank than to grab you."

  Lorenzo drew the hand axe out, and then handed it to the Kestrel.

"what?"

  "Gift from Haibod, he asked me to give this to you."

  Hybod not only prepared a gift, he also brought a share to the Kestrel. Apart from Lorenzo, the Kestrel had the best relationship with him.

  Even Lorenzo could not have imagined that the two would actually get together because of things like knight novels.

   "Ahem, say it earlier... To be honest, Lorenzo, I think you are more neurotic when you come back this time. Would you like to go to the Montenegro Hospital?"

  Lorenzo shook his head, sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette casually, and began to vomit.

  "Do you know? Kestrel, this trip to the sea of ​​silence taught me a lot of things."

"for example?"

   "For example, people should be optimistic."

  Lorenzo said, spitting out saliva with soot.
