Chapter 58: The Sacrifice

There were still a few hours before the action began, and for Lennette, it was also a few hours before his performance began, and the guy's face was slightly red, and the whole person showed a kind of excited excitement.

He looked at Lorenzo and the others, and although these guys didn't say much, Lennette could feel a deep seriousness in them.

Indeed, it is time to be more serious, and the fate between the two countries will be decided by them for a while, and it will be very stressful to think about it, and these manifestations are in Lennette's understanding, and he considers them strange things.

"Sure enough, everyone loves music!"

Lennette shook Lorenzo's hand excitedly, in his opinion, the rich man who financed him really loved music, and after knowing that the show was about to start, he was as excited and serious as himself.

Lorenzo didn't know what was going on in Lennette's head, and if he knew, he would probably think that Lennette was a little bit of a neurotic.

Looking at the hall, the hall of the hotel was full of members of the orchestra, everyone in serious dresses, checking the musical instruments, outside the door of the hotel, rows of carriages were ready, waiting for everyone to leave.

"Okay! everyone laughs!"

The photographer's voice rang out, and the clicking stopped with a blinding flash.

Group photos had already begun in the hall, and the orchestra members were photographed by photographers, Lenette explained.

"The other members have finished taking pictures together, and it's time for you. ”

He wanted to pull Lorenzo and the others to take a group photo together.

"No, that's so polite. ”

Lorenzo tried to refuse him, although there was nothing explicit forbidden, but he knew it, and if he could, it was better for someone like Lorenzo not to leave any photographs, like an urban legend, just to hear about it, and not to leave any evidence of real existence.

Lorenzo smiled fakely.

If you think about it, the identities of each member of this improvised team are extremely special, the high-ranking knight of the Purification Agency, the heir of the Phoenix family, the emissary of the Viking Kingdom, the mysterious Rat King and his keeper, and Erin who was hunted down by the Iron Law Bureau.

This posture ...... I feel that this photo will be worth a lot of money if it is really taken.

"Oh oh oh, I know, I know!"

Renette croaking like a rooster, peeking at the crowd behind Lorenzo as he grabbed him, as if trying to pull him aside.

In a funny scene, Renette tries to pull Lorenzo, but Lorenzo is like a stone statue, calm and unmoved.

Lorenzo looked at Renette quizzically.

"I said, I know that you rich people are like this, and you don't want to show your image. ”

Renette didn't care why Lorenzo was so calm, and whispered directly into his ear.

Mixed emotions welled up in Lorenzo's heart, and the more this guy guessed, the more off-topic.

"But don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped, and if I'm worried, it's okay to take a picture of just a few of us. ”

Rennett said.

"No need......" Lorenzo wanted to refuse, but was directly interrupted by Rennet.

"Don't do that, Mr. Holmes. ”

Lennette said solemnly.

"Come to think of it, there aren't many opportunities like that, huh...... At least for me, at least it's a souvenir, right, this performance can be regarded as the fulfillment of my dream, and witnesses like you must be there. ”

Listening to his words, Lorenzo, who was resolute, suddenly hesitated, he didn't answer first, but turned his head slightly and looked at this strange team.

Eve is fiddling with the kestrel's triangle, the kestrel looks insubmissive, Hercule is still educating Poirot, judging from his angry attitude, he is ready for the entire Poirot three generations, Hypard and Erin look at each other coldly from time to time, the grudge between the two is not something that can be resolved by these few things......

They hadn't known each other for a long time, they hadn't known each other so deeply before, and now, in a few hours, they were going to carry out that difficult operation.

Truth be told, there was a moment when Lorenzo remembered his past, on that night of Advent.

Many people died, and as time passed, Lorenzo gradually lost his memory of their faces, perhaps human memories are indeed not very reliable, steel will be corroded and turned into dust, and mortal bodies will eventually age and become dry bones.

Now Lorenzo is a little panicked, a little worried.

Based on the current information, Lorenzo was well aware of the danger of the next operation, the choir, the Iron Law, Lawrence, ...... Perhaps someone will remain in Gaulnalo forever during this operation.

So who will it be?

The face flashed before his eyes, and Lorenzo was a little unacceptable to whoever it was.

Emotions are the inferiority of human beings, they can make people hesitate and become overwhelmed, but they also make people more like a person, more like a living person, rather than a cold weapon.

"A memento, Mr. Holmes. ”

Rennett winked his eyebrows.

Lorenzo looked blankly ahead, and after a moment he nodded.

"Okay. ”

......

"Well, then, stand tight. ”

On the stairs of the hall, a few people stood here and there, and at Lorenzo's request, they were not able to take a group photo with the members of the orchestra, but only Lennette joined alone, so as to satisfy his strange psychology.

"So what is this doing? Lorenzo. ”

Eve asked in a low voice, standing beside Lorenzo, ready to fight and kill, but suddenly it became like a tourist souvenir.

"Souvenirs or something, that's what Lennette said anyway. Lorenzo replied.

"Isn't that a violation?" the kestrel whispered, "I remember that the purification agency has a rule......

"Forget that, once in a while, maybe this is the last time you'll take a photo?"

Erin put one hand on Kestrel and pretended to be close to him, Kestrel couldn't guess what this guy was thinking, he wanted to have a seizure, but he felt that it was a little bad to break this rare and harmonious atmosphere, so he could only bear it helplessly.

"Stay away from me!"

The kestrel pushes Erin with one hand that can only move, and Erin grins as if she were teasing a good woman.

"Yo-yo, the moon is shy?"

Hybold asked, staring ahead, as if the momentary pleasure had nothing to do with him.

"What the hell are you trying to do? Lorenzo. ”

"Remember, that's all, it's rare to go abroad!Whatever happens next, I'm afraid we'll never have the chance to come to Gaulinaro again for many years, won't we?"

Lorenzo replied, and then he reached out and grabbed the kestrel and Erin who were standing one step in front of him.

"Everyone, be quiet. ”

The boss spoke, and the two of them were silent, but judging from the kestrel eyes, he was still annoyed.

"Alright, everyone, I'm here. ”

After communicating with the photographer, Lennette trotted all the way, in essence, this time he was not only for a commemorative photo, but also to get closer to Lorenzo, after all, an artist still needs the funding of the rich, with Lorenzo's help, maybe he can bring the show to the Vikings.

"Okay, smile. ”

The photographer shouted, and with a click, the bad smiles of several people froze.

Then came the end.

The carriage was ready to go, and Eve and the others carried the case containing the weapons into the car, leaving only Lorenzo and Irene who were still in place for some reason.

"I've always wanted to take a picture with Ivar, but you also know how special we are, and you can't do any of these things. ”

Erin looked at the busy people and said slowly.

"And slowly, over time, I was afraid that I would forget what he looked like. ”

Turning her head to look at Lorenzo in some confusion, Erin asked.

"You're not such a souvenir person, are you?"

She had spied on everything about Lorenzo and knew exactly what kind of person he was, and he deliberately avoided the interweaving of emotions in order to maintain his cold mind as much as possible.

"Instead of being afraid of losing, it's better to refuse to accept it in the first place. ”

Erin put her hand on Lorenzo's shoulder, and she wanted to raise it a little higher to touch Lorenzo's head, but because of the wound, she could only lift it to this height, looking like a good brother.

"Think about it, you are more pitiful than me, so how do you deal with them? accept or reject?"

Erin meant something.

Lorenzo thought for a moment, but instead of answering Erin's question, he said something else.

"I'm just afraid to forget what they look like, and you know, human memory is not reliable. ”

His expression was a little hesitant and sad.

"I'm afraid, Irene, it's like Coming Night, it's a sinful ritual that requires a human sacrifice to appease the wrath...... This time it was also a ritual, a ritual to stop the war, and the ritual required sacrifices, sacrifices for the living. ”

Lorenzo clenched his fists, his joints turned white, and his nails pressed deep into his skin.

"I don't know what to expect, I'm strong, but I can't protect everyone...... Maybe someone will stay here forever, maybe it's you, maybe it's me, maybe it's the guy who keeps shouting good luck. ”

"I don't want that, I don't want someone to die. ”

Lorenzo began to understand Arthur's feelings, and Lorenzo Medici, maybe a bad decision would have buried many people, and they had no time to repent, so they could only bite and eat their sins and move on.

"You can escape. ”

"But there are some things that someone has to do. ”

Hearing this, Erin laughed, leaned back slightly, raised her hand as high as she could, and then pinched Lorenzo's face hard.

"Then do what you can, Mr. Holmes, and save everything you can......"
