Ember Gun

  Chapter 604 Meeting

  A new day has just arrived. When the window is opened, the old Dunling is in a misty water vapor, and a breeze blows by, bringing a biting chill.

  Lorenzo leaned against the window, letting the cold wind hit him, awakening his sleepy consciousness.

  The cold winter is coming again, and it is not clear how many cold rains will fall in Old Dunling before the frost falls.

The carriage stopped at the door early in the morning. One was a dark carriage that cleaned the organs, and the other was printed with the emblem of the Stuart family. Both groups were surprised by the presence of each other and could see The Kestrel was getting out of the carriage and said something to the carriage of Stuart's house.

  No one thought that Lorenzo would actually become a hot cake. Today is a meeting with Jiu Xia Lai Shi. Both groups want to take them with them. So which carriage should he get on?

  He didn't think about it for too long. He got up and put on his clothes. He stretched out his hand and just wanted to pick up the sword bag. But thinking of today's meeting, Lorenzo hesitated, and finally left with only a sword.

  Before he opened the door of the office, he could hear Kestrel's curse.

   "Lorenzo, what are you doing!"

  Kestrel stood at the door with a look of anger. He said that he was responsible for taking Lorenzo, but he came out halfway to grab someone, and he could still send it to ordinary people. As a result, it was Stuart’s carriage.

  Due to the deaths and injuries of Kestrel's colleagues, they began to reuse Kestrel in the face of extremely short manpower. Coupled with his recent excellent performance, Arthur seemed to intend to promote him.

Based on these circumstances, the Kestrel also learned some news that he shouldn’t have known, such as the strong sponsorship of the Stuarts, although he did not understand why the Stuarts suddenly invested money, and did not understand why. Queen Victoria will agree to this, but Kestrel is still aware of things like investors and investors.

  These guys have no right to intervene in the operation of the cleansing agency, but they should also be respected. Kestrel thinks it will be difficult to send these people away.

  "The higher the price gets."

  Faced with Kestrel’s anger, Lorenzo looked indifferent.

  "Do you think you are very valuable?"

   "Isn't it worth it?"

  Kestrel glared at Lorenzo, facing this guy, he really had no good way, so he could only turn around and walked towards the carriage of Stuart's house.

  He had also been mixed in Xiacheng anyway, bluffing, pretending to be a villain, too skillful.

  The coachman looked at the angry Kestrel, and seemed to be too lazy to care about him. He pointed directly to the carriage behind him, and signaled Kestrel not to trouble him.

  Kestrel pulled the car door, and was about to throw some cruel words, but couldn't say anything.

  "Good morning, Kestrel, what's the matter?"

  Seleu put the book down and looked up at the guy with a wrong face.

   "No...nothing, I got in the wrong car."

  Kestrel said dryly.

   "Hello! Goodbye!"

  He closed the door quickly, left without looking back, squinted at Lorenzo, and climbed into the dark carriage without saying a word.

  Looking at the awkward figure of the Kestrel, Lorenzo almost laughed, anyway, they will eventually arrive at the same place, just like anyone else....There are also some differences.

  Everyone belongs to the same camp, but under subdivision, they belong to different banners.

  Boarding on the carriage, Lorenzo was a little surprised, he asked.

   "Where is Oscar?"

  In my impression, this old thing has never left since he hugged Seleu's thigh, as if he was afraid of being abandoned.

  "He is no longer a country builder. There is no need to assume these responsibilities. In Oscar's words, he is retired, and now he is immersed in writing."

  Seleuc’s arrangement for Oscar is very appropriate.

   "According to his request, I also invited editors from several publishing houses."

   "Oh, oh, what, does Oscar really want an amazing book?" Lorenzo was pleasantly surprised, this arrangement was simply not good.

   "No, he **** those editors."

"what?"

   Seleuc cleared his throat and learned the voice of Oscar.

  "These dog things don't know how to appreciate, I must correct their aesthetics."

  Lorenzo's expression is embarrassing, Oscar feels revenge, and it seems that these editors have often rejected his manuscript.

   "What's next?" Lorenzo asked.

   "I don't know, he closed the door."

   Seleuc shrugged, she continued.

   "But Oscar guarantees that he will not break the law and will cause trouble to the Stuarts."

   "That's fine." Lorenzo breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Of course, if there is an accident, he will take care of it."

  Lorenzo almost choked with saliva. He looked at Seleu seriously, and Seleu nodded seriously. She was not joking.

   "I didn't expect Oscar to have such a side." Lorenzo said.

   "He has quite a few identities. In fact, he is also an excellent captain and pirate, and even a bandit for a while." Seleu said.

"what?"

  Seleu was surprised by Lorenzo’s surprised expression, "I thought you knew this a long time ago, isn't he your teacher?"

  "But...this..."

  Lorenzo was a little incoherent for a while. In his impression, Oscar was a failed writer. As a result, this guy's first half of his life was so...exciting?

  "Have you not read his book? It's written in the Biography of Oscar Wilde."

   "I thought it was silly!"

  "Accurately speaking, it is real experience plus part of artistic processing." Seleu explained accurately.

  Lorenzo was a little dazed, he rarely did this, but it did happen, and he could clearly feel that something funny had collapsed in his heart, and then it became even stranger.

  In the chaotic thoughts, tall buildings appeared in the field of vision.

  Old Dunling, Central Railway Station.

  As the core of old Dunling’s traffic, it is always very crowded, but now this crowding has become even worse. Soldiers walk on the streets to maintain order, and tall rioters stand among the crowd.

The bright metal armor reflected the crowd like a mirror. The horrible posture made the scene a lot quieter, but it still couldn't contain the crowd's emotions.

  About a few minutes later, the train carrying the Nine Summer Envoy will arrive. This will be the first time many people have seen this stranger from the Far East.

  It’s not clear whether it is curiosity about the East or the mentality of looking at rare species. People come and go, and it is blocked by people.

  Lorenzola drove the window, looked at it from a distance, and then the carriage took them to another place.

  This is just a cover, the real messenger has already arrived, and the meeting place is not here, but a more secret place.

  Lorenzo raised his head and looked at the gloom of the sky. A tall tower pierced into the depths of the clouds while the iron whales wandered.

   "Dun Ling Pagoda."

   Lorenzo whispered, the core of the Dunling Plan is also the core of the cleansing organs, where the broken dome is located.

  The meeting will start there.

  After so many ups and downs, Lorenzo felt that he had already cultivated a calm and composed mentality, but now, he can't help feeling a little excited.

  He is going to meet not only the mysterious Jiuxia, but also the "variables" of this war. He is looking forward to what kind of surprises these Jiuxia people will bring.

  Whether it will be the surprise that turns the tide of the battle.

  ……

  Dun Ling Pagoda, broken dome.

  Excluding those swimming iron whales, this is the highest point of the old Dunling, which is wrapped in advanced technology, coordinating the operation of the entire old Dunling's different systems.

   Arthur sat in a corner of the round table, and on the left side beside him were Gawain, Percival, and Gareth.

  During the long war, the death rate of the cleansing mechanism has remained high, even for the knight commander. This is currently the only knight commander who cleansed the mechanism, and there is no one to take over the remaining vacant positions.

On his right are the heads of various departments, Merlin and Abigail, presumably to train successors. In this meeting, Nikolai and Eve were also present, but their positions were very far behind, almost To blend into the shadows.

  On the other semicircle of the round table, there were anonymous people headed by Zuozhen. Behind them, Luo Luo stood restrained and sweated nervously.

  He was not qualified to participate in such a meeting, but because of his identity as an interpreter, he was joined in, and everyone in his sight was considered to be the big men who cleared the agency, and now Rod is in the same room with them.

  This feeling is quite strange, and these people are very good in Western languages. Rod feels that he is more like a guard, but he is not the only guard.

  Luo Luo turned his head slightly and peeked at Duke Cai who was standing not far from him. He keenly noticed Luo Luo's gaze and looked over, just as before, without saying a word, and then smiling.

  He seems really dumb.

   "Because of your majesty's health, I will be responsible for these matters." Arthur broke the long calm.

   "Hmm, I understand." Zuo Zhen responded.

  In the meeting decades ago, the former queen revealed this, which is no secret for Zuozhen.

   "But, don't you start yet?"

  Zuozhen looked around, the round table is very big, so there are still many vacancies, he thinks that everyone should be there, it's time to start.

   "We have a new country builder, and she has the right to participate, but I don't know why she is so late, and Mr. Holmes."

   Arthur glanced at his watch. Strictly speaking, they were not late, and there were still a few minutes before the start. It was just that according to the seriousness of this meeting, they should have arrived a long time in advance.

  He remembered the relationship between Duke Stuart and Lorenzo, he had a bad idea.

   "Is that so... it's better to talk about Mr. Holmes first, who can complete the journey to the sea of ​​silence and return it from the end of the world. I am very interested in him."

  Clear sunlight fell from the top of the dome, reflected on Zuozhen’s face, drawing a vicious shadow among the old folds.

  Arthur thought for a while, then asked.

   "What do you want to know?"

  "He is...what kind of person?" Zuo Zhen asked.

  This question seemed to stump Arthur. His expression became a bit stiff for a while, his eyes drifted for a while, and he looked at the colleagues beside him, as if he wanted to get some answers from them.

   None of this escaped Zuozhen’s observation, he laughed.

   "It looks like a very interesting person."

   "Interesting... Probably, I think he is a very complicated person, incomprehensible, always in disguise, few people can see his true face." Arthur thought for a while and said.

  "Do you see clearly, then?" Zuo Zhen asked.

  This time Arthur didn't hesitate for too long, and the journey along the way appeared before his eyes, life and death again and again, he said affirmatively.

   "I see, he is an expert in this kind of thing and he is worthy of trust."

   "That's good, we need such an expert," Zuo Zhen smiled, "The so-called [Final Echo] is now also kept by him, isn't it?"

   "Yes, I can't think of anyone who is more suitable to control this thing."

  "Is that so...We are also very interested in that thing. If possible, we all want to bring it back to Jiuxia and study it. After all, antimemetics are our specialty."

  Zuo Zhen smiled, and before Arthur could continue to say anything, he denied his words.

   "But unfortunately, this is impossible. This thing should be used to prevent restarting. We don't have time to study, and we don't have the ability to study."

   "The secret blood, the demon hunter, in different environments and under different influences, we have all walked out different roads, but now the roads all converge at one point, waiting for us to move on."

  Zuo Zhen sighed and stared at the people at the other end of the round table. Time flies so fast, I didn't expect that everything has changed like this.

   "The more prosperous we are, the stronger the enemy will become."

   "Like the ones written in the "Gospels"," Merlin said at this moment, "Evil and evil breed in the shadow of God. The taller the God, the deeper the shadow."

   "But now we have the possibility of ending all of this. Although hope is slim, it is worth a try."

  Zuo Zhen nodded slightly, agreeing with Mei Lin's words.

  This will be a disaster sweeping the world, no one is spared, even if Jiu Xia owns the Forgotten Great Wall, the fate of everyone is tied together by this terrible enemy, and roar forward.

   "But, Mr. Holmes is a demon hunter, isn't he?" Zuo Zhen asked.

"Um."

   Arthur responded, and he felt a little uneasy.

   "The demon hunter who has re-entered the path of sublimation, which means that he may also become a new ‘road’, right?"

  Zuozhen's eyes became fierce. To get rid of this dark fate, all connections must be broken, and Lorenzo did the same.

   "I know what you are worried about, and Mr. Holmes also understands this. Regarding these, don't worry, he will handle it perfectly." Arthur said.

"Really?"

  Zuo Zhen suspected that his mission is extraordinary, he must make sure that no accidents happen, and put this to an end.

  Arthur nodded firmly, he pledged Lorenzo.

   "I have been working with Mr. Holmes for a long time. Although I still feel that I don't really understand him, at least I can know when and what decisions he will make."

   "He will eradicate all this, he is the demon hunter, the last demon hunter."

   Footsteps sounded outside the door. Someone came. He walked quickly and opened the door.
