A terrifying tornado rolled in the sky above the old Dunling, as if a huge finger had fallen from beneath the sky, carrying the rain and the wind as it tried to touch the ground, and the blazing white thunder danced through the leaden ash clouds, and the roar echoed in it, like craftsmen hammering steel, smelting something in the middle of the storm.

"It's really a once-in-a-century weather...... When I was young, I fell on the sea and saw such weather, the storm swallowed up our ship, and the whole world shook violently, as if the next second we would sink to the bottom of the sea, and I was so terrified that I thought that my legendary life was going to end in this hellish place.

However, the Vikings on the ship were happy, and they thought that the god Odin had come to pick them up and lead them to the sacred Valhalla, so the captain roared excitedly and sailed towards the thunderous storm. ”

Oscar looked out the window at the terrible weather, and in a trance he seemed to be dragged back by the cold rain.

"But maybe it was some hell of Odin's shelter, and we rushed into the center of the storm, where there were no terrible winds and waves, but there was an unexpectedly calm, and the whole sky was incomparably clear, and at the edge of it was the path of the storm.

We stormed into the eye of the storm and survived, and I remember kneeling on deck with excitement and shouting with the Vikings about Odin's presence. ”

"So you've experienced it yourself, and it's not like you're bluffing me?"

Looking at the cunning old guy in front of him, Lorenzo was skeptical of his words.

"I don't believe you can go and see my biography of Oscar Wilde, I think it's probably in the fourth volume, but I did a lot of artistic processing, but it doesn't matter if you say yes. Oscar said with a smile.

Lorenzo didn't bother to pay attention to the guy in front of him, he rolled up his clothes vigorously, squeezing out the rain.

This is Lorenzo's collaboration with Oscar, and when he realizes that the Protestant Order's goal is himself, Lorenzo agrees with Oscar just in case, and now everything is moving according to Lorenzo's idea, and the initiative of the game is back in his hands again.

"There are dry clothes in the back. Oscar reminded.

"Forget it, it's hard to change clothes, not to mention, it's going to get wet after a while anyway. ”

Lorenzo knew exactly what was going to happen next, and said nonchalantly, his eyes falling to the side of his seat, which was a black suitcase.

"Out of risk, I let Seleuc go, after all, this brutal battlefield is not very suitable for her, and as for Hercule, after guiding us here, he said that he had done his job. Oscar said.

"It's useless for the two of them to stay here, all I need is the resources of you and Seleuc, and Hercule, who can guess the exact location of the Black Mountain Hospital, just leave the murder to me, and you should leave here." ”

This was everything that Lorenzo had planned before, and he looked at Oscar.

"Are you all set?"

Lorenzo picked up the suitcase as he spoke, placing it on his chest, and the whole carriage swayed slightly as it went, and he opened it as he shook.

"Yes, the design of the weapon and some of the links...... Your plan may look good, but it will be difficult to implement, after all, your enemies are demon hunters, not a group of demons who act only on instinct, and traps will be easily spotted by them. Oscar said.

"I know, but you know, Oscar, they're aiming for me, so even if I jump into the fire pit, they're going to jump down with me. ”

Lorenzo stretched out his hand and took out a nail sword from the box, this nail sword is different from the nail sword of the Demon Hunter Order, it is a weapon that Lorenzo commissioned Oscar to find someone to order, although the folding knife is portable, its effective attack range is only the part of the blade.

The custom-made nail sword did not have holy silver plating, but it used stronger materials, and the nail sword was Lorenzo's most familiar weapon, and picking up this imitation gave him a deep sense of familiarity.

There were many more such nail swords in the suitcase, and on the other side of the seat was a shotgun, noticing Lorenzo's gaze, Oscar picked up several special bullets from the back of the car, which were one of Lorenzo's needs.

"This is the best escape route I can muster for you, and you'll arrive at the dock in the Iron Serpent, where the civilian airship is fully equipped.

The Atrium Serpent system has been developed for many years, and ground transportation has been firmly controlled by the Elimination Agency, and if you leave the ground, you will definitely leave a trail for them to chase, but using civilian airships is different.

Add to that the damn weather, those war airships are all diving, and when you take off, they won't have a chance to chase you, you can fly anywhere, and with your physical fitness, you won't be able to fall to your death. ”

No one expected Oscar's hand to be so big, and he actually used a civilian airship, although this thing is still in the stage of trial operation, but it also sounds a little strange at the moment, according to Lorenzo's expectations for Oscar, Lorenzo originally thought that he would call a train for himself at most.

But there is no need to worry so much now, when Lorenzo planned this evacuation plan, his imaginary enemies were the Purifier and the Protestant Order, and now it seems that the Purification Organ is not a threat to himself.

"But I don't drive anything like that. Lorenzo said.

"I remember you learned things quickly, didn't you?" Oscar said, handing over a manual, "This is an aviation manual, and you still have a long time before you arrive at the dock to study it on a temporary basis." ”

"Of course, the great Holmes is just a good liar after all, not some genius student, and it's still too reluctant for you to learn this kind of thing in such a short time. ”

As he spoke, Oscar flipped through the aviation manual, glanced at it, and then tore off a few pages at random and handed them to Lorenzo, and he threw the rest out of the car window and into the wind.

"Just learn that according to your needs. ”

"What do you mean by these?"

"Start and move forward...... These two operations should be enough for you to escape from the old Dunling, right?" Oscar sneered, "but if you want to completely disappear in front of the eyes of the purifier, this is necessary, find a place with a sea and jump directly, and the airship will continue to move forward and attract their attention." ”

Lorenzo took the torn and crumpled pages of paper, and after a brief silence, Lorenzo asked with some curiosity.

"What do you want, Oscar, and what does it cost me to go to such great lengths to help me?"

"There are a lot of reasons, the strange teacher-student relationship? or the smell of the like-mindedness, and the admiration for you? Who knows? But I do have a bit of selfishness in it. Oscar replied.

"Because of Queen Victoria?"

Lorenzo recalled the words Arthur whispered to himself in the birdcage.

"The King's Curse ......"

Hearing this word, Oscar's eyes were a little surprised.

"The King's Curse...... You know those things. ”

"Sounds like something bad. ”

"Almost. ”

"So that's why North Dro has no influence in Invig? You are wary of Queen Victoria, and she is terrified of you cliques beyond your control. ”

At this moment, Lorenzo once again felt the complexity of the world, there were more players at the table than he knew, and their camp was not what Lorenzo had expected.

"There's no way around it, if you're Queen Victoria, would you let such a behemoth that is not under your control grow?

Without Nordero, it would be difficult for Invig's power to spread beyond the territory due to the royal curse, but now with us...... They need the power of Nordero, but they refuse to let it out of their control. ”

Oscar smiled slightly, and his voice didn't have much disdain, just deep helplessness.

"I'm not treason, anyway, I will only dedicate myself to my ideal country, as for the current ones, it's just a cooperation with her. ”

"You need the Victorian royal family, and you don't want her to lift some so-called royal curse, do you?" asked Lorenzo.

"Almost, we in North Dro just want to keep the status quo, but that queen doesn't think so, she should be trying to find a way out of the royal curse from you. ”

"So you want me to get out of here, so you cut off her purpose. Lorenzo said.

This is also the reason why Oscar helped Lorenzo so much, compared to his previous, this is his real purpose.

"Yes...... One day I'm going to help the Victorian royal family? Oscar, are we going to be enemies?" asked Lorenzo.

There is no absolutely united camp, only overlapping interests, and when interests diverge, it is the moment to become enemies.

"I don't know much about this, after all, we are not a monarchy, and it doesn't matter if we speak alone, but there is no need to think so far now, Lorenzo, let's settle the matter at hand first. ”

Oscar said and looked out the window, the sky was rolling up with a terrifying scene, and the whole old Dunling had stopped because of the bad weather, and the bumps in the carriage had not stopped since the start.

"If you ride the Iron Serpent, you may be stopped on the way, so what are you going to do?

"Just what I wanted. ”

Lorenzo didn't say anything more about this, but directly picked up the shotgun and nail sword, and at the moment he was fully armed.

Heavy rainstorms hit the carriages, as if the whole world had been soaked, the water of the Thames had overflowed the banks, and the stagnant water in the streets had reached the bare feet.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, there were dark figures crashing through the wind, the noisy sound of rain and thunder perfectly muffled the sound of their movements, and the iron snakes roared, and they landed softly on the roof of the car, and no one noticed their arrival.

The city came to a standstill in the pouring rain, and the hunters stared at the washed steel under their hoods, except for the serpent that sped on the railroad tracks.

In order not to startle the snake, they did not activate the secret blood, but waited for the moment to inflict a fatal blow on the person in the car, and then awakened the power to the limit.

Oscar had expected this, but no one expected the witchers to come so quickly, so fast that they didn't have to wait for them to make any decisions.

A few eyes looked back and forth, ready for the next step, and in an instant, the secret blood rose suddenly, accompanied by the rising fireworks, the demon hunter did not hesitate, the sharp nail sword directly pierced the roof of the car, and at the same time, the demon hunter attacked from the side, and a sword split the carriage.

It was a surprise attack, a surprise attack that had been expected but still unavoidable, the entire door was directly torn open, and the witches held their swords to fix themselves to the edge of the carriage, and were about to rush into the carriage to continue the battle, but then they realized that the carriage was empty.

The column of iron snakes was empty, but then, because the nail sword cut the lead fixed in the carriage, the machinery was touched, and before they could think about anything, the entire iron snake exploded in an instant.

This was Lorenzo's elaborate gift for the Protestant Order, and in this bad weather, the mercury vapor would be blown away, and the toxins would be quickly washed away, so he simply motioned for Oscar to add high explosives to it, the more the better, and then load the metal fragments, which at the moment of explosion this is a dead lotus.

The burning heat and impact, coupled with the impact of the iron pieces that came, the witchers who were close to each other were directly hit hard, and some witchers with a low degree of secret blood awakening were directly blown up by this violent explosion in this blow.

Blood and shards were swept away by the rain, and the still burning iron snake was still moving forward, and looking at the raging fire outside the car window, Lorenzo knew it was time to leave.

"They've really fallen for it. Oscar also looked at the fire, a little surprised.

"It's natural, in this kind of weather, street carriages will be blown over, and the only thing left is the iron snake. ”

Lorenzo slung the suitcase to himself and pushed the door open, letting the wind and rain pour in.

It was a galloping carriage, and in order to withstand the bad weather, the carriage was weighted and the number of horses pulling the carriage was increased, so that Lorenzo could keep up with the iron serpent and not be overturned by the wind.

"So you calculated all of this in the first place?"

"It's just a matter of improvisation, and then you can leave, Oscar, and I'll do the rest alone. ”

Lorenzo hitched on the edge of the carriage and reached out and raised his hook gun.

The rain obscured not only the actions of the witchers, but also Lorenzo himself, who did not expect or realize that Lorenzo was not inside the Iron Serpent at all, but hovered on the edge, waiting for their arrival.

"Hmm...... Well, I'm old, and this kind of thrilling thing doesn't suit me anymore, but there's another reason for me to help you, Lorenzo. ”

"What?"

"Do those knights remember?

Oscar roared so loudly that his voice would drown out the thunder.

"Huh?"

Lorenzo looked surprised and felt a little wrong.

"That's right, I wrote it, and although it's only the first volume, it's selling well, and it seems that everyone likes this kind of curiosity.

So, Lorenzo, don't die, I won't be able to get material if you die, I'm not a witcher, am I?"

Oscar finally said this, he didn't wait for Lorenzo's reply, and he didn't know whether Lorenzo heard or not, but he shot the hook gun, hit the burning iron snake, and then the whole person jumped out like the wind, his eyes lit up with a blazing white glow, and he didn't know whether it was a fire that was ignited, or a thunder that reflected the heavenly firmament.

There was the sound of the blade unsheathed in the wind, followed by blood spilling into the rain.
