Chapter 5 A job
The soft daylight pierced through the mist and fell into the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the dimly lit room.
Lorenzo only felt a burst of warmth on his eyelids, and slowly opened his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up, he was stunned for a moment, and then let out a big sigh, stretched out his curled body, and then crawled out of the closet.
His eyes were a little sleepy, and across from him was the familiar bed, and the ceiling covered with posters.
There was also a vague figure on the bed, which seemed to be someone sleeping on Lorenzo's bed, but in fact there was nothing there, a deliberate shape made by Lorenzo.
The Protestant Order's actions against themselves ended in failure, but Lorenzo felt that they would not give up so easily, and although everything became clear, this time Lorenzo stood unabashedly in front of everyone's eyes.
He's dangerous, extremely dangerous.
Now the name of Lorenzo Holmos must have spread throughout the upper echelons of the Evangelical Church, and even if they were defeated this time, as long as the Evangelical Church was not completely destroyed, there would be a steady stream of pursuers.
Lorenzo wanted to hide after realizing this, but he gave up and appeared generously in everyone's eyes, which was a provocation and a kind of trust in himself, but in this way, Lorenzo still slept at ease many times, maybe when he was dreaming, a sharp nail sword would pierce his throat.
After thinking about it, Lorenzo moved the bed to the cabinet, although it was a lot narrower, but at least he could sleep more comfortably, and his original bed was pinched out of a quilt to make a human shape to divert his attention.
Stretching, Lorenzo casually picked up a nail sword from the gap in the table next to him, and staggered downstairs.
The Winchester office was full of weapons, albeit more concealed than before, and these weapons were also funded by Oscar, and they were all leftover weapons from his escape plan.
It's so free to live alone, usually Lorenzo wouldn't dare to walk around with a nail sword like this.
Under his design, the area of 121A Cork Street was almost divided, Lorenzo's room was still the same on the second floor, and the first floor was changed to Winchester Offices, as for the other rooms...... Perhaps to keep a memory, or something else, Higg and Madame Vanrood's room was locked up by Lorenzo, and the utility room was stacked with weapons, officially a veritable arsenal.
Cutting an apple for himself with a spiked sword, Lorenzo kicked the debris on the ground with his foot as he nibbled it, and he began to think that he should hire a cleaner.
Finally, he sat back in his place, with Winchester hanging above him, facing the door, and suddenly felt a little like a doorman.
As his thoughts cleared, Lorenzo couldn't help but think of the mysterious woman from last night, and Lorenzo finally sent her away instead of taking on that strange job.
Lorenzo was a free man, but freedom came at a very high price, and Lawrence's remnants, the Protestants, and the unknown Silencers were Lorenzo's enemies.
One of the reasons why he chose to eliminate the mechanism again was that Lorenzo realized that no matter how strong his individual strength was, he could not fight against so many unknown enemies at the same time, and he needed a team and a legion.
Now all he enjoys is the calm before the storm, and Lorenzo doesn't want to cause any other turmoil in this quiet day.
Once he really set foot in Gaulnalo, where Lorenzo would not have the help of the purification agency or even North Dro, he would have folded there, and judging from the woman's secretive attitude, the incident was also full of conspiracy.
So the perfect way to deal with this matter is......
Refuse.
Of course, there was another reason for Lorenzo to refuse all this, and that was that the place of work was the ghost place of Gaulnalo, and Lorenzo would never want to go a second time in his life if he could.
He's a guy who likes to see new things, with the exception of Gaulnalo, as for why......
There was a clanging sound, someone pushed open the door and the bell was pulled up, and the girl poked her head out of the crack.
"It's not because of you!"
Lorenzo roared inexplicably, and threw the half-eaten apple directly towards the door, just as Seleu pushed the door open, and the apple smashed directly into Oscar's face.
......
It all started when Lorenzo first arrived in Old Dunling, when he took over the job from the Stuart family and went to Gaul-Nalo to bring back the last of his bloodlines.
It was not a difficult job, but because of Lorenzo's actions, he himself made it much more difficult.
In Lorenzo's words, being idle is also idle, why don't you teach the client how to shoot, see that she is very interested, and there must be a target for shooting, what? Do you want to shoot at those people who bully you? It's not impossible......
In short, Lorenzo's work eventually turned into a great escape from Gaul-Nalo, and when his whereabouts and work were known to the enemy, the descendants of a duke were in their own territory, and the Gaul-Nalo people did not let themselves go so easily.
So there was a lot of bloodshed, and the specific situation Lorenzo is not clear, anyway, it has been so many years, but what can be known is that Lorenzo himself should be blacklisted in Gaulnalo, or the kind with a bounty.
Lorenzo wasn't afraid of that, he just hated the place a little plainly.
Just like yesterday, the three of them sat down in their fixed positions again, staring wide-eyed.
"Why are you here again?"
Lorenzo looked at the two guys who appeared in a fixed place and asked with some curiosity.
Oscar casually picked up a piece of clothing scattered on the ground, wiped his face covered with Lorenzo's saliva, and continued.
"Do you think I'd love to see you?"
He spoke a little angrily, indeed, anyone who was half-gnawed on an apple early in the morning could not be happy, not to mention, no matter how Oscar asked, Lorenzo just refused to say why he threw the apple at Oscar.
Only...... It's a bit inexplicable.
"And what are you going to do?" asked Lorenzo.
"A job. Seleuc said at this point.
"A very urgent job, issued directly from Nordero, the price is negotiable. ”
Oscar chimed in, looking eager, as if the job had been thrown to him by North Dro overnight.
"You singing and harmonizing, Stuart also has a share?"
Lorenzo looked at Seleuc suspiciously, feeling as if the little girl with an indifferent face had betrayed herself.
Seleuc looked helpless, as if she had just been forced to make these decisions.
"I represent the entire Stuart community, and I want to act for the good of the whole group...... This time the cooperation with North Dero is very profitable. ”
"Wow, wow, it's only been a few days, you've only been a duke for a few days!
Lorenzo screamed.
"Don't call Lorenzo! Oscar took the opportunity to say.
"For example?"
"For example......"
"You didn't think about how to fool me, did you?"
Lorenzo immediately raised his nail sword as if he was about to cut someone.
"You owe me a favor, Lorenzo!"
Oscar finally remembered the words of the uniform Lorenzo and yelled loudly.
The scene fell silent for a while, and Lorenzo was stunned, as if he was thinking about whether he had said such a thing, but when he thought about it, it seemed that he had just said it yesterday.
Is this retribution? And it came too quickly.
Lorenzo was actually a little uncomfortable for a while, and after his eyes wandered on the two guys a few times, he sat down honestly.
"So, you two are so persistent, must this job be assigned to me?
Oscar nodded and said to Lorenzo.
"You're the most professional in terms of work experience and personal strength, Lorenzo. ”
"A veritable expert. Seleuc followed.
Lorenzo looked at Seleuc, his eyebrows gradually furrowed, and he began to think about how much money North Dero had paid, and even Seleu was impressed.
"The important thing about this work is that, if successful, it will open the way to the north. ”
Oscar got serious and said to Lorenzo seriously.
"Although our shipping lanes in North Dro cover the entire Western world, there are still many places that we cannot touch, such as the more sensitive White Tide Strait, such as the deeper part of the Viking countries, the inaccessible sea of ice. ”
"If this operation is successful, North Dero will have a deeper trade exchange with the Vikings, who are now only beginning to unify internally, and the need for supplies is enormous. Seleucus then added.
"So this time my employer is the Vikings?" asked Lorenzo.
"Hmm. ”
Seleuc nodded.
Lorenzo had new doubts.
"The Vikings entrusted you with North Dero, and you North Dro found me again?"
"Yes, detailed information needs to be ......"
Oscar continued to explain, it seemed that the matter was really in a hurry, and in order to convince Lorenzo, he also brought Seleuc.
"It's ...... Layers of subcontracting!"
Lorenzo suddenly understood and shouted.
Not only Oscar was stunned, but Seleu was also stunned, and their expressions froze for a long time, and then Seleu got up and grabbed Lorenzo.
"You're serious!"
Seleuc suddenly felt a little tired, when this guy was worried before, it was very worrying to watch, but now that he was happy, the victims became them.
"Okay, okay, but, it's just a commission, why do you seem to be in such a hurry, the other party still has a deadline?"
It can be seen that this guy Oscar is really anxious, and he even took out such things as favors and used them, and Lorenzo didn't want to help him, but just wanted to tease him with bad taste.
"No, it's just that there will be competitors, and now this job is not entrusted to one of us, there will be North Dero outside of Invig to assist you, and inside Invig there will be help from the Stuart family. After Oscar finished speaking, he pointed to himself and then to Seleuc.
"In general, this work is completely your own debt, you blew up an airship, and there are so many weapons, who do you think will pay for you!"
Oscar was furious as he spoke, and after Seleuc stepped away, he came over again and grabbed Lorenzo by the neck.
"It's me! I can only make some money by writing books!"
"And me...... The Stuart family, to be exact. ”
Seleuc reminded in due time.
Lorenzo listened to their accusations, and for a while he couldn't fix any more moths, so he had to sit honestly in place.
"Okay, okay, what's the job. ”
"This is still under wraps, and I will take you to talk to the Vikings, but this matter is really urgent, otherwise I wouldn't have called you as an expert. ”
Oscar looked at Lorenzo, a barely warm firm.
"So the holiday is over, Lorenzo. ”
"What about the place of work?"
Lorenzo asked casually, he doesn't hate work, and if he rests too long, it will only rust his body.
"Probably in ...... Gaul Nalo, this is my guess based on the available information, but you don't have to worry so much, you'll know when you get there. ”
Probably in the spirit of some kind of contract, Oscar is very strict about the privacy of customers.
Lorenzo's face turned bad when he heard this.
"What's wrong?"
Seleucus looked at Lorenzo's terrible appearance and asked with some concern.
For the word Gaulnalo, Seleu is also full of nostalgia, after all, she grew up there, and of course what she misses is not the dim upbringing, but the wonderful escape with Lorenzo.
"You're still asking! It's not you the culprit!"
Thoughts connected, Lorenzo screamed.
Seleuc, on the other hand, looked confused, not knowing what Lorenzo was shouting.
Well, in fact, he was not so resistant to Gaul Nalorenzo, he didn't care if it was hostile or wanted.
The main reason is that this time there is no one to put an end to his actions.
Although he often speaks ill of the purification mechanism, it has to be said that as long as it is in the old Dunling, and even the whole of Invig, Lorenzo can only do it, and the rest of the matter is solved by the purification mechanism.
But this time, if he did arrive in Gaulinalo, none of this assistance would have existed, and the incident would have become very troublesome.
Lorenzo hated trouble, hated it.
"So ......"
Just as Lorenzo was about to accept the job, the doors of Winchester's office were kicked open, and the shrike came against the morning light.
"Wait!"
Before Berau could speak, Lorenzo interrupted him directly.
He began to feel that something was wrong, and his gaze drifted over the faces of Seleu and Oscar, and finally fell on the face of the shrike, and Lorenzo gradually felt a pang of unease as he recalled the mysterious woman of the previous night.
"A goddamn job, right?"
The shrike didn't understand what was going on, but nodded anyway, affirming all this.
"A commission from the Vikings?"
"Hmm. ”
"The location is suspected to be Gaul Nalo. ”
"Hmm. ”
Lorenzo's face wrinkled together, as if he had eaten something terrible.
