"Begin the first wake-up attempt. ”

Merlin's voice rang out from the communicator, at the top of the dome, behind the heavy explosion-proof glass, Galahad was quietly observing this, since the pilot of the Black Angel was out of control, he died in many people's memories, but in fact Galahad not only not died, but also became the shadow of the purifier due to his own state.

"This time we may find out the root of the demon, are you excited?"

Galahad asked, a calm voice ringing out in the darkness behind him.

"How could I not be excited, if it wasn't for the fear of gaffes, I would have wanted to shout out excitedly now. ”

Arthur said and came to Galahad's side, and sat on a chair beside him, the view here was good, it was the highest point in the workshop, enough to look down on the whole picture, but because it was too high, they couldn't see the details below at all, but it was enough, they didn't care about the process, now they only wanted the result of it all.

"I'm no longer young, or you'll find myself in the Original Sin Armor right now, one of them. ”

Arthur folded his hands on his chest and frowned.

There was a cacophony of electricity in the communicator, and soon after another voice connected to the channel, and the voice rang out.

"Arthur, order from the Platinum Palace, the Queen asks us to stop the 'interrogation'. ”

The sound came from the Broken Dome, Arthur was not in the Broken Dome, and the Knight Chief Gareth was responsible for everything.

"The experiment has begun, Gareth, and we can't stop. Arthur replied coldly.

"But...... What about the Queen?"

Gareth was in trouble for a while, and the purification mechanism belonged directly to the Victorian royal family, and there was only Queen Victoria's voice in the Victorian royal family, and her order was absolute for everyone, but now Arthur's behavior was undoubtedly disobeying the order.

"That's it, the workshop is completely locked, and no one can interfere with the experiment unless it's over...... Don't be so nervous, Gareth, the Queen is not a monster, she can't even get out of the Platinum Palace. ”

Arthur had always respected the Queen, but now his attitude was extremely contemptuous.

"Alright, see you at the Shattered Dome, Gareth. ”

Arthur said and flipped the switch? Gareth's voice disappeared into the cacophony of electricity.

"What are you doing here? Arthur, it's not like something you can do. ”

Galahad didn't speak slowly until now, he looked at Arthur's side face? This old guy has an introverted look in his eyes? No one could guess what he was thinking.

"Queen...... Something is being hidden from us, Galahad. ”

In the silence, Arthur suddenly said? He turned his head? The expression is serious.

"You know? Actually, I was deceived by the Queen. ”

"What are you talking about?" Gallahad couldn't understand him.

"Ivar's rescue plan, indeed? This operation is mixed with the purpose of many people, such as when I secretly sent Lorenzo to eradicate the choir, but our purpose is all smoke bombs, so that Ivar will die in Gaulnalo? Is the real goal of detonating a war? I didn't know anything about it, and I didn't know about it until after the incident. ”

Arthur only felt a dark cloud over the old Dunling.

"The Queen has provoked war with the Vikings in hiding from all of us. ”

"Is there anything wrong with that?" said Galahad.

"Is there really nothing wrong with that? Suppressing enemy nations and assisting the Vikings in raiding can also open up northern shipping routes for us? But...... I don't know how to describe these? Galahad? I felt that something intangible was entrenched around us, and little by little it was influencing the direction of the world, and the queen was one of them. ”

Arthur said, throwing out a document.

"What is this?" asked Galahad, taking the paper.

"The experimental application record of the previous chief of perpetual motion pump technology, because of the re-investigation of the red news incident, we searched through the archives and found this document from the dusty corner, it is not important, it is placed together with other experimental application records, it may be this unimportant characteristic of itself, so that this document can survive, not be destroyed by some unknown force. ”

Arthur takes a deep breath, knowing too much is a burden for a person, you will have this secret to yourself, and you will be terrified because you know.

"William has requested more than one more in-depth study of demons, and according to the report, he has received a lot of useful information, and it can be said that the current knowledge of demons by the purification agency is largely based on his research.

But these applications were all rejected, and it can be seen from the seal that these applications were approved within the purification authority, but were vetoed by a higher authority. ”

Galahad's eyes were solemn as he flipped through the papers, and he saw the familiar seal, the red paint on which had been dimmed by the erosion of time, but the shape it had drawn was still clearly visible.

"This is the seal of the Victorian royal family...... The Queen vetoed the applications. ”

"Yes, there is and only she has such power. You must know that William is not a madman, he is a sane scholar, he must have found something, but was vetoed by the queen...... The queen was hiding something from him and didn't let him continue the investigation, which led him to carry out the experiment that was not allowed. ”

Arthur sighed.

"If it were me, I would probably do the same. ”

"Have you wavered in your loyalty to the Queen?" asked Galahad.

Arthur smiled and shook his head.

"I have never been faithful to the Queen, I have only been faithful to this kingdom. Galahad, actually, I've found more than that, conspiracy theories, these are the things that we can discover, what about the things that we haven't discovered?"

Galahad was stunned, his heart was cold, there were too many places in this complex mechanical city that could not be illuminated, like the Furnace Pillar system rooted in the land.

After a long period of updates and iterations, the Furnace Pillar is like a tree root spreading underground, the steel shell is constantly advancing deeper, and the drawings accumulated over the years have become as large as a library, it is like a labyrinth in the shadows, hiding too many secrets.

"According to the Dunling plan, the old Dunling will fully enter the electric age a few years ago, but now it is still only implemented in some areas, and even the research and development of technology has been limited, you know, Galahad, it was not the nobles and merchants who really stopped this plan, as long as the queen wants, the whole country is a machine in her hands, she wants to implement this power, no one will refuse, but in the end it disappeared like this......"

"You think the Queen is guiding the course of the world?"

Galahad remembered the idea of the Dunling Project, which would replace steam with electricity and the world enter a new era if it succeeded.

"To be precise, 'they', from the perspective of absolute interests, is the best solution than suppressing our hostile countries, opening up the technological gap, continuing the Dunling plan, and maintaining the status quo of peace, but she did not do so. ”

Arthur looked down at the experimental field, from which the workshop looked like a huge deep well.

"Did someone say something to you?"

"Well, Lorenzo came to me not long ago, he felt that he was tricked by the queen, and vowed to give her a knife to relieve her anger, I appeased him, and the queen also came with news, she said that she would explain this, but only Lorenzo could go, I was suspicious at that time, obviously the incident was already very clear, what kind of reasons will the queen give in order to justify?"

"Why does she control the process?"

"Perhaps. ”

There was only Galahad and Arthur in the dimly lit observation room, and there was no third party, and the communication channel had been turned off by Arthur before, so no third party would know about the conversation between them.

In the silence, Galahad's gaze changed slightly.

"Whether what you say is true or not, you are disobeying the Queen's orders by doing so. ”

"I know, but don't worry, the war is coming, as the Duke of the Meritorious Family, Arthur of the Purifier, there is no one to replace me in this situation, she needs me. ”

Arthur spoke of his reliance.

"I never thought you were so suspicious. ”

"This is due vigilance, Galahad, and never forget that we are fighting something. ”

Arthur looked at him solemnly.

"We're fighting demons, these evil, unknowable nightmares, and even the incredibly powerful Demon Hunting Order will collapse overnight, let alone us?"

"What if you're wrong, or even say you're lying to me and dividing me?" asked Galahad.

"Then it's time for you to step up. ”

Arthur said calmly, without the slightest emotion.

"Be cruel to your enemies, and be cruel to yourself.

The reason why I am telling you is because of your identity, Galahad, you are now part of the Scavenger Army, as a backup plan in the event of the collapse of the Purification Agency, you are the sword hanging over the Purification Agency, if I am wrong, it is up to you to solve and replace us, but if it is the mistake of the Platinum Palace, I hope that at the critical moment, you can be in a key position. ”

Galahad was stunned, he didn't expect Arthur to say that this was just for this, he needed to keep it going, and it wasn't a platinum palace or a purification mechanism, but a fight against demons.

After all this experience, Arthur was suspicious of the Platinum Palace, and now he had to do it to keep the scavengers on the alert.

"The scavengers will be mindful of this, and we will do everything we can to prevent the Night of Advent from happening within us. ”

"Let's look at the experiments, and here they go. ”

Looking down at the workshop, the first awakening attempt had begun in the time the two men were talking, and Lorenzo stood in front of William, his hands hanging uneasily beside him.

"Are you sure you want to do that?"

Lorenzo was still a little overwhelmed, he looked at Merlin on the side, and the answer was still the empty eyes.

"Sure, hurry up, Lorenzo, don't bother, don't you want to know what William has discovered?"

"I ...... Of course I did. ”

Lorenzo didn't continue, he turned to William, the old guy was drooling and looking at him with a demented face.

Truth be told, this is the first time Lorenzo has taken the initiative to alienate others, turning them into that abominable demon, and it is difficult for him to describe his current feelings, as if he had become a part of evil, its claws and teeth.

【Secret Blood Awakening 7%】

Without too many words, a blazing white flame rose from his eyes as calm as the sea, like a burst of flames, which caused the whole sea to burn and boil, and finally turned into pure day.

This firework is not warm, on the contrary, it is extremely cold, as if it cannot be melted, and the cold chill fills everyone's hearts in an instant.

The light reflected William's face, attracting his gaze like a rare diamond, and the cloudy pupils of his eyes met Lorenzo's little by little.

"Are you going to invade his [gap]?"

Lorenzo looked at William and couldn't help but think to himself.

"As long as he invades his [gap], those so-called secrets will be revealed in front of his eyes, but ...... Do you really want to do it yourself?"

Watson's warning flashed before his eyes, and the scarlet handwriting revealed great fear and worry.

The blazing pure flame continued to rise, condensing into a solid light.

"The Geiger index began to rise. ”

"The erosion is gradually spreading, opening the floodgates. ”

"The sluice gates opened, and the neutralizing liquid began to be filled. ”

Voices traveled through the channel, and the sword dancers and lancers above the dome were alert, both sensing the exponential change, and Lorenzo below was rising little by little, causing the erosion to spread out of his body.

At the same time, the light rain overhead became violent, and the neutralizing liquid poured down the channels of the well wall, and finally they converged in the grooves of the ground, like a shrunken river.

"How's William doing?"

Merlin, who was standing not far away, asked.

"The heart rate fluctuates a lot...... He's being affected by the erosion right now, he's afraid, he's scared......"

The paramedic spat out the note from the machine and replied to Merlin.

"Ahh

William let out a senseless cry of horror, like a child still learning to speak, unable to utter a complete sentence, but his old face was now completely contorted together, like a hideous ghost.

Cold sweat slid down his neck, and he struggled with great effort, but his body was firmly locked to the electric chair with leather, and these resistances were useless, and not far in front of him, the demonic creature was leaning towards him little by little.

It was like the scorching sun on his face, and he was burning brightly, setting off a suffocating heat wave, and as Lorenzo approached, William felt that he could barely breathe, followed by a phantom pain from his body.

He felt like he was burning, scorched by the sun, pain coming from every part of his body, burning miserably everywhere the light shone until it was reduced to ashes.

"It's time to wake up, William. ”

Lorenzo approached his face and said into the terrified pupils.

In the next moment, the secret blood broke through the critical limit, and the erosion that almost condensed into substance swept through the entire workshop.
