Above the vast sea, the White Tide moved slowly, like a moving boulder, and it was difficult to shake it by both the wind and the waves.

It was much larger than a normal ship and was built by the North Droe shipyard, who said that the exact model of the White Tide should be counted as a cruise ship. A new ship type invented by North Drow.

Although they are all passenger ships, the White Tide, named after the White Tide Strait, has much more luxurious entertainment facilities than previous passenger ships, and it has been sailing on the White Tide Strait for a long time, going back and forth between Gaulinaro and Invig.

Inside the White Tide, in the room of Lorenzo and his party, there was a sharp knock on the door.

"Welcome! Welcome!

With the man's shouting, they slammed open the door, and the cheers came and went, filling the room in the blink of an eye.

The five people and one rat in the room were in an extremely shocked state at the moment, and even the kestrel was vigilant at the moment, his hand hidden behind his back, and he had already clenched the pistol.

But these neurotics in front of them didn't seem to notice these at all, they were full of enthusiasm, and they began to greet each other when they came in, as if Lorenzo and the others were their long-lost brothers.

The sea of enthusiasm engulfed the sluggish fellows, who hummed a shouting ode to joy, and the air was filled with the joy of the neurotics.

It all started after getting on the boat, North Dero prepared a full service for Lorenzo and his party, they had just dropped off their luggage in the room, a quick knock on the door sounded, everyone was very vigilant, and when Lorenzo opened the door, the scene was like this.

Lorenzo pushed the man who was hugging him away and yelled loudly.

"Stop!"

After the roar, the noise in the room finally fell silent.

"What is this......"

The kestrel muttered as he leaned towards Haybod, and although the atmosphere was cheerful, he always felt that something was wrong.

Shouldn't everyone on the ship have a mournful face on their faces, prepare their weapons, and fight to the death with the Iron Law Bureau after they get off the ship?

Eve stood honestly to the side, and the overly enthusiastic atmosphere made her a little uncomfortable, and as for Hercule, he was lying on the bed with Poirot in his arms, and judging by the expression on his face, he had fainted, and it seemed that it was indeed difficult for him to return to the sea.

"Who are you?"

Lorenzo directly Winchester, pointing his gun at the strangers who broke through the door, he didn't feel murderous in these people, they were more like a group of passers-by who went to the wrong room.

Seeing this real thing, the man immediately froze, and as the muzzle of the gun slidied, whoever it pointed at, he raised his hands.

"Wait, you're Rennet. ”

At this point, Hybold suddenly spoke, he had just seemed to be thinking, and now he finally remembered what was going on?

He stood between Lorenzo and Renette, glaring at Lorenzo as he introduced.

"Introduction, this is the director of the Royal Orchestra of Invig, Rennet. ”

Haybed's introduction softened the atmosphere, and Lorenzo, a man who understood what was going on, took the man's hand with a friendly face.

"Fortunately, Fortunately, Captain Rennet. ”

Winchester was caught under his armpit, and although Lorenzo spoke softly, it didn't look like "lucky".

"Don't be afraid, we encountered a few robbers on the road, so be a little wary. ”

Lorenzo explained that it was a terrible explanation, but strangely enough, Lennette actually believed it.

"Oh oh oh, is that so, I will say that Mr. Holmos is so kind, how can he be so violent, so it is. ”

Lennette became cordial again, and hooked up with Lorenzo, judging by the sincerity on his face, he seemed to really regard Lorenzo as a great good man, although the two had only met for the first time.

Kindness?

Lorenzo couldn't figure out what was going on, and then Renette continued.

"This time, we are going to thank you in person, and without the generous sponsorship of Mr. Holmos, this performance of our orchestra might have been ruined. ”

Lennette called a few of the guys who had come with him, and bowed deeply to Lorenzo, whispering in his ear as he bowed.

"Although it is a royal orchestra, they have limited funding and this performance is funded by North Dero. ”

The actor knew the script and acted with Haybode.

"You're welcome, I love music, and it's my honor to let your music spread to Gaulinalo. ”

Lorenzo grabbed Rennet's hand and slapped it again.

The two exchanged business, and came to discuss life and music theory in a few waves, and after nagging for a long time, Lorenzo finally sent these troublesome guys away.

"I thought we were just a name, but it turned out to be a real orchestra?"

Closing the door, Lorenzo turned back and asked Haybod.

"The most perfect lie is mixed with truth, isn't it? The most important thing is that Lennette is stupid, to be precise, he only cares about music, he doesn't care about things in real life, otherwise he wouldn't be deceived by us so easily, such a person is easy to control, and can ensure the smooth work of the work. ”

Lorenzo sat back on the couch and crossed Winchester in front of him.

"So what did you say to him, about our part, that we're musicians and funders?"

"Although he doesn't know anything about life, he is very paranoid about music, and of course he won't allow us to participate in his orchestra performance, even if we sponsor him, but he is willing to let us be there, and even say that he will participate in the final group photo. ”

"Take a formality?"

"Yes, it fits our needs. ”

Lorenzo didn't expect it to be like this, and looking at the closed door, he remembered the crazy singing and dancing before...... It's singing and dancing in the actual sense, those guys are really singing and dancing, and I don't know which guy also brought a triangle, and when the cheers were at their highest, they couldn't stop knocking.

Eyes retracted, ignoring Hercule, who was still lying on the corpse, this rescue team was truly on the journey.

"It's not too far across the White Tide Strait than anywhere else, and we'll be in three days at the port city of Maruri, the port of Gaulnalo," Lorenzo looked at Haybode one last time, "Then you should tell us all about the work, only you know what the work is all about, and if you die, we can't do it." ”

It's like a discussion, it's more like a threat.

Haybold didn't have much of a mood swing, he didn't understand another meaning of Lorenzo's words, he said directly.

"Ivar is currently in the port of Maruri, protected by the Iron Law Bureau, and there are troops stationed there, and their warships are parked in the harbor. ”

"How can you be sure?" asked Lorenzo.

"Another team had arrived in Gaul Naro a few days earlier, and they were going to make peace with Gaul Nalo, and the peace talks were the same as I mentioned earlier, the Vikings gave up their alliance with Invig and instead cooperated with Gaul Nalo, and in exchange, Ivar was transferred to Maruri, and after signing the Covenant, he would be released. Haybold said.

Winchester jerked up and pressed against Haybed's neck, moving so quickly that Haybold had no chance to resist at all.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, although Lorenzo usually beat and scolded, and said some strange and bad things, but in this situation, Eve and Kestrel knew exactly what to do.

The folding knife rested on Hybod's neck, and the kestrel raised the pistol hidden behind him.

At the end of the day, Lorenzo is his own person.

"You'd better be clear, Haybod, I know how you want to explain that the other team doesn't really want to make peace, but lures Ivar out, and we'll be responsible for rescuing him then. ”

Lorenzo speculated on the full picture of the plan, and that the peace talks were just a delaying ploy by the Vikings.

"But the fake can also become true, and when the time comes, maybe it will become that you really want to negotiate peace, and we are your vote?"

Lorenzo didn't want to be angry now, but when he saw Eve, he began to think that this was getting more and more bizarre.

The Phoenix family is a meritorious family during the glorious war, compared to Lorenzo's head, Eve's head is much more valuable, and now Lorenzo can't figure it out, why Arthur dares to send Eve to this mission, if it's really as he thinks, Eve is simply the best vote.

Everyone had different thoughts, and Lorenzo didn't trust Haybold at first, he was a beast that roamed the jungle and could only survive with vigilance.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, but in the midst of this depression, Hercule barely recovered a little, and he groaned and climbed out of bed.

He felt a little embarrassed.

"You go on. ”

Hercule said and fell back down, feeling that the timing of his awakening was not quite right.

No longer paying attention to the bad vibe, Lorenzo asked, staring at Haybed.

"I'm very suspicious, and you'd better find a way to convince me, like explaining everything to the point, instead of squeezing toothpaste. ”

A raging flame rose from under his eyes, the light was so faint that only Hybod, who was staring at him, could see it, and for a moment it was as if he had seen hell, and the image of hatred flew before his eyes.

The erosion lasted only a short time, but for a short time, Haybold felt that his heart almost came to a standstill.

It was the first time he had faced such a being.

"Is this the power of the witcher?"

Hybold took a few deep breaths to calm his heartbeat.

"Yes, as you said, Ivar is hidden, and we can only negotiate peace talks, and when we sign an alliance to redeem the hostages, we will be closest to Ivar. ”

Haybold continued.

"I'm aware of your concerns, and yes, this could well lead to the fake becoming true, but don't worry, Bjorn had already signed an alliance with Queen Victoria on behalf of the Ice King when we set off, and we won't be joining forces with them. ”

Lorenzo never imagined that things would turn out this way, which meant that he didn't need to come to the rescue of Ivar, and the covenant had already been signed when he set off.

"I want to know the whole story, Haybod. ”

Lorenzo's words were cold.

Hybold hesitated, but he also realized that in the past few days of contact, he also had a rough idea of what kind of person Lorenzo was, maybe he wouldn't kill himself, but he would definitely jump ship and swim back to Invig, anyway, it had only been a long time since the ship sailed, and the witcher's physical strength was more than enough.

Of course, the main thing is that this neuropathy can really do such a thing.

"As I said, pretending to sign a covenant and having you go out in the event of a hostage exchange is not only a rescue, but also an act of revenge. Haybold said.

"Then why did you choose me?" asked Lorenzo.

"Because of the choir. ”

"Choir?" Lorenzo looked confused by the religious term.

"Do you know Orthodoxy?" asked Haybold again.

Lorenzo nodded, letting him continue.

"Gaulnalo was very ambitious, and after forming the Rhine League, they began the Reformation and propped up the Orthodox Church, but the Orthodox Church was more than what it seemed. ”

"Another Evangelical Church...... The so-called choir is just another demon hunting order, isn't it?"

Thinking back to what Hercule had said to himself, Lorenzo felt that all these broken messages were connected in an instant, and for some reason, a nameless anger rose.

"That's right, that's the main thing, you can look at the documents in the suitcase, there is Arthur's letter to you, originally intended to be shown to you when you arrive in Gaulinalo, but you are more vigilant than we thought. ”

Hybold pointed to the suitcase, which had become more and more proficient over the past few days, and she leaned over the suitcase, flipped through the papers, and found the letter.

"What did he write?" asked Lorenzo.

"Wait a minute. ”

Eve tore open the envelope and read the contents.

"It's Arthur's handwriting...... It's ......"

Eve seemed to have seen something that frightened her, and her hands trembled slightly.

"Luo ...... Lorenzo. ”

She didn't dare to pronounce the words in it, as if words were magical, and when she read these terrible stories, they would become reality.

Trembling as he passed the paper, Lorenzo glanced at it, and like Eve, his gaze became solemn.

Slowly letting go of his hand, Winchester fell to the ground.

"That's why I didn't inform you in advance, Arthur said that with your character you don't care about work at all, you will be fully armed to kill Gaulnalo, you will exterminate these Orthodox Christians, you will be dominated by anger, and then die in Gaulinaro, this time no one can save you. ”

Hybold took a few steps back, rubbed his neck, and sat down.

"As you can see, there is more to it than meets the surface, but Migar brings not only faith but also strength, and it is preliminarily certain that Lawrence's remnants have united with Gaulnalo, and that they are supporting the Orthodox Church for the sake of the choir. ”

The Viking's expression was very lost, a kind of death to be exact, as if he was already a dead man, and now everything was just a journey to the grave.

"You should know the power they have, the unstable inferior secret blood, the batch of demons, the Rhine Alliance, even if the war starts, this is the truth under the veil," Haybold said and laughed, and now there is no need to hide anything, "After all, saving Ivar is just a passing. ”

Lorenzo's hand pressed harder and harder until the letter was twisted into a ball and torn into shreds, and his nails cut into the flesh and dripped hot blood.

White flames rise, burning the debris to ashes.

"The covenant will be signed in the port of Maruri, and in order to spread Orthodoxy, the Pope of Orthodoxy will be crowned at the same time as that day, and the ships that set sail will depart with their teachings. ”

Hybod looked out the window, and a pitch-black iron curtain appeared at the edge of the sea level, slowly moving around. A storm is coming.

"That's what the job really is, I'm in charge of rescuing Ivar, and you, Lorenzo Holmos, you're in charge of destroying this potential threat and killing him.

The Pope of the Orthodox Church. ”

Lorenzo stopped talking, he stood there with his head bowed.

Slowly opening his hand, which was already covered with his own blood, in the blood he saw.

The history of the past, the history that repeats itself, the cycle that repeats itself.

"That's what makes this kind of work interesting. ”

Lorenzo whispered, his usual smile, as if it wasn't him who had just become angry, but some demon attached to him.
