Lorenzo sat on the couch where Seleucus had sat in front of her, picked up her newspaper, flipped through the recent news, the air was stale and the smell of sourness, Lorenzo was like a bad apple fermenting in a garbage heap.

"So you're sure you don't clean up the house?"

Seleuce and Lorenzo swapped roles, she sat at the workbench and poked around with the dagger that Lorenzo had ordered for her, the affluent life did not make Seleuc forget her past, and now she picked up the dagger with a familiar feeling.

"Anyway, it's just me, and I think it's okay. ”

Lorenzo said lazily, in fact he was just lazy.

I have to admit that although Madame van Loude does not occupy a large proportion of his life, her presence has a great impact on Lorenzo, such as the living environment.

Lorenzo was ordered to act, and as soon as he locked the door of Rue Cork, he ran to Gaulnalo, where he was greeted by a dusty room and a kitchen littered with bug-infested food scraps.

Truth be told, Lorenzo was disgusted by the scene, and he cleaned up for a while, but in a few days he tossed it back into the mess he is now.

"I don't know how Lady Van Loude is doing......"

Lorenzo looked at the mess all over the ground and said with some nostalgia.

In the end, Lorenzo gave up, and the original exquisite house was invaded by a homeless man.

"But you're going to the Vikings, it sounds so far away. ”

Lorenzo couldn't help but sigh.

The world is very big, so big that everyone can imagine, and even today, with technological innovation, human beings still have not completely filled in the map of the world.

On the yellowed parchment map, there are still many unknown fogs that envelop the land of mankind, they are like sticky darkness, swallowing up all the light, and every seeker who steps into it will never find their way home.

The farthest place in Lorenzo's memory was Jiuxia on the other side of the ocean, followed by the Viking kingdoms at the end of the far northern seas.

"Yes, but I'm looking forward to it, after all, everyone in this land is almost the same, and I'm curious to see what the country will be like in this cold winter. ”

Seleucus was looking forward to the rest of the journey.

"Are you ready for your trip?" asked Lorenzo.

It was no easy journey, as the waters of the Vikings were so cold that storms and thunder often swept over them, crushing the cowardly ships.

"It's not decided yet. The war is coming, and the king of the ice sea must also have a headache, so let's wait until he is done. ”

Seleuc had been communicating with the Viking envoys to this day, and she had not seen any of the high-level people who really held power.

"Those who have been to the Vikings say it's an interesting country, cold and hard, but at night there are beautiful auroras...... Have you ever seen the aurora?"

Lorenzo shook his head, he, like Seleuc, had only heard of it.

The words of others could not describe the magnificence of the aurora, and Lorenzo couldn't think of the amazing beauty that people were talking about.

"The Vikings?"

Lorenzo remembered Hybod, and had asked him more about the Vikings, and now that this guy had returned to his homeland, he didn't know if there would be a chance to meet again.

For a long time, these marauding Vikings were like bards, bringing with them war and suffering, as well as legends from the north.

It was a wonderful land and a people who had a belief in a very difficult environment that was completely independent of the Western world, and in the eyes of other believers, there was a God in this world, and God came to save believers, and if you were religious enough, you would be taken to Heaven when you died.

But the Vikings have different beliefs, they believe in the god Odin, but the god Odin will not promise them a good heaven, and the souls of the dead will be taken to Valhalla, where they fight day and night, waiting for the twilight of the gods.

What's even more incredible is that in the Viking faith, the destruction of the world is doomed, and neither the god Odin nor the fighting Heroic Spirits have the power to reverse this desperate end.

Lorenzo's thoughts suddenly stopped, he remembered something, he felt something prompting him, waiting for him to string the clues together.

The North, the twilight of the gods, the prophesied end of the world......

He remembered what the Queen had told him about the Keeper of the Secrets, and that his trip to Gaulinaro was to open the way to the ends of the world.

Thinking back to the Gospel Church's account of the Book of Revelation and the Gospels, Lorenzo had a vague feeling that if there was a source in all this mystery, it must be the cold northern end.

Lorenzo was a little happy at the thought of this, but then came the fear of approaching the darkness, and he could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the core of the secret, and even said that he had mastered a part of the secret, and now he only needed someone to help him connect it all and piece together the complete [truth].

Then the queen thinks that the reason for convincing herself is probably this.

The only thing that can calm one's anger is a deeper secret.

Lorenzo shook his head vigorously, shaking all these complicated thoughts clean.

Now is not the time to think about these questions, and as time progresses, the answers to all this will be laid out in front of your eyes sooner or later.

What Lorenzo needs at the moment is rest.

"Hoo ......"

He let out a long sigh, as if to squeeze all the air out of his lungs, and the whole body was deflated a little, and he collapsed comfortably into the couch.

When he first returned to Invig, Lorenzo had a gloomy face, and Eve said that he looked bitter and hateful every time she saw him.

Actually, it's pretty much the same.

Whoever learns the cruel truth about the collapse of the demon incarnation world will probably not be happy, Lorenzo still feels that his mentality is relatively good, and if he were someone else, he might be crazy now.

Lorenzo was so anxious at the time that he began to train himself after he recovered from his injury, frequently going back and forth to the purifier to inquire about the technical progress of Merlin's original sin armor.

Lorenzo didn't know how to deal with that future, he panicked, he couldn't think of any other way than to improve his combat power.

After a few days of such trepidation, he was suddenly relieved.

At least the world is still safe now, and there is still a lot of time left for me, so it is better to think about what to do than to look panicked like this.

So Lorenzo became what he is now.

Resting and recuperating, he was ready to say this when he met the queen, the power of the whole kingdom is the most powerful than the power of one person, and Lorenzo also needs the full support of Ingwig to find the cause of this apocalypse.

In short, everything is ready, just waiting for the day when you set foot in the Platinum Palace again.

There was calm in the room, Lorenzo and Seleu going their separate ways, and it looked like a cold war, but in fact Lorenzo and Seleu got along like that.

Everyone knew each other well, and there was no need to say anything bad to liven up the atmosphere, Lorenzo put the newspaper over his face, and he had worked for days for the dagger before finally getting a good rest.

"Speaking of Lorenzo, would you like to go to the Vikings with me?"

Seleuc put down his dagger and asked suddenly.

"I'm not interested, I'm busy. ”

Lorenzo replied that he was now running to save the world, and even worse, he couldn't tell anyone else about the end of the world.

Tearing off the newspaper and looking at Seleuc, Lorenzo mentally reaffirmed his thoughts.

Yes, he couldn't tell anyone else.

How could Lorenzo tell the girl in front of her that the world was about to be destroyed, and that soon the demons would gather into a tidal wave and eat everyone up.

Why bother? Tell others that they don't have a way to deal with it, that some people may think they are talking nonsense, and some people may believe their words, and then live in fear until death comes?

Lorenzo felt that there was no need, that such despair and fear could be enjoyed by him, by these people who could truly change the world.

As many times before, the demon hunters fought the demons in the dark, and at dawn the people had another safe night, and there were no witchers and no demons in their world.

That's good.

"But...... It's not impossible. ”

Lorenzo added.

The ups and downs were so fast that Seleuc wondered what the hell was going on with this guy.

"Maybe in a while...... No, I'm going to make a trip to the Vikings, and we might be able to do it together. ”

Lorenzo, the keeper of the end of the world, for whatever reason, would go there once, where he might get the answers he wanted.

"Sounds pretty good. ”

A slight smile appeared on Seleu's indifferent expression.

The doorbell rang, and without waiting for Lorenzo to say "please come in", the visitor pushed the door open and walked inside.

"Do you raise pigs in the house?"

As soon as he entered the room, he was overwhelmed by the complicated smell, which reminded him of the terrible conditions of the lower town, which he hated very much.

"Probably?"

This feeling was quite ashamed, and Lorenzo wondered if he should invite a cleaner over.

"Shrike, why are you here. ”

Lorenzo then asked, this guy will never come to him when he has nothing to do, in the eyes of Berao, he is an extremely troublesome guy, and this guy definitely doesn't want to have anything to do with him outside of work.

"Regarding the Red News incident, judging from the information at the time of the incident in the Black Mountain Hospital, under the influence of a certain amount of erosion, these people who were eroded and went crazy would briefly regain their senses. ”

With a look of disgust, Shrike found a chair and sat down, and said to Lorenzo.

Merlin has experimented several times and found that this act is actually pushing back the erosion that had been interrupted...... Can you understand what I mean?"

"Probably clearly, you have caused these patients to be eroded, their brains further polluted. ”

"Yes, as cruel as it sounds, it does make a new discovery, and after pushing the interrupted erosion back forward, these patients will briefly regain their senses, and it seems that madness is more of a self-preservation mechanism......"

Shrike was interrupted by Lorenzo, who thought of something.

"Protect your own cognition, how old is your mind degraded, and protect yourself from being further polluted?"

Lorenzo found things interesting.

"Pretty much, we don't have enough data to support our conjectures, but it's not impossible to use it as a cause for the time being," Shrike continued, "The time to come back to his senses is short, but with this we are gradually reconstructing the general story of the Red News incident." ”

"And what exactly happened?" asked Lorenzo.

"I don't know. ”

Shrike spread his hands and replied dryly.

"I'm just the one in charge of communication, and the level of secrecy of this experiment is very high, probably due to the erosion of demons, so you need to ask Merlin for details. ”

Shrike rubbed his temples as he spoke, and the fatigue of the past few days made him a little unbearable.

After the Vikings united with Invig, they didn't know what those Vikings in the lower city thought of it, and they actually thought that they were legal in Invig, and they were more arrogant than one another, and the shrike led the team to suppress it several times.

"I'm here to inform you that Merlin is going to erode the previous Chief of Technology in order to briefly regain his senses and get the full picture of the Red Message. ”

Shrike was a little puzzled when he said this, Lorenzo obviously had nothing to do with scientific experiments, but Merlin just insisted that Lorenzo had to be there, otherwise the experiment could not be carried out, and he couldn't think of the reason, so he had to do it.

Lorenzo nodded, he knew very well why Merlin did this, at that time in the storm in the Black Mountain Hospital, Lorenzo had warned Merlin of those unknown existences, and Merlin actually controlled his curiosity, and waited until he came back to start this final step.

"I see. ”

Lorenzo took a deep breath, the rest was over, and he wanted to save the world, starting by solving the mystery of it all.

"Hmm...... Sounds like a lot of work. ”

Then a discordant voice rang out, and Seleuc turned his head to look at the shrike, and then at Lorenzo, still holding the delicate dagger in his hand.

"S...... Duke Stuart?"

Shrike was startled, before Seleu spoke, he didn't notice that there was a third person in this room, and judging from Seleu's position, she didn't deliberately hide herself, completely because Shrike didn't notice.

"Also...... Please keep it a secret!"

Shrike thought a lot in his mind for a moment, but in the end he could only say this sentence, he is also a duke, he can't go and put her in the Black Mountain Hospital because he revealed this news, right?

"Oh, oh, it's nothing, I'm also one of the shareholders, listen to the development of the industry, and what a shareholder should do. ”

Seleuc had no idea what was so anxious about the shriek, she had easily accepted the demon-slaying business, and she didn't know how the rest of the group would react if they knew about it.

Probably because of the slashing with the Vikings in the past few days, or the after-effects of Gaulinaro's escape, Berau felt that his mind was muddy.

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow, so let's do it first. ”

Shrike fled the fermenting room without looking back, and looking at his appearance, Lorenzo pulled up his collar and sniffed.

"Really...... Is it so bad?"

"Hmm. ”

Seleucus was expressionless, but nodded very earnestly.

Lorenzo felt a little ashamed for a moment.

Well, before saving the world, let's clean up the house first.
