Chapter 11: The Beginning of War

Arthur had thought about what would happen if he took Lorenzo to see Queen Victoria, but he never expected Lorenzo to show his anger so directly.

The power of the witcher was revealed, violent and terrifying, as if Lorenzo had some kind of monster in his body, and it was roaring lowly, bursting the mortal's body little by little, and through the shattered cracks, the surging darkness could be clearly glimpsed.

Arthur's first instinct was to stop Lorenzo, and although the two were very different in strength, this was not a reason for Arthur to be afraid, and just as he was about to shout the royal guards, the queen raised her hand and motioned for Arthur to stop.

It's useless, whether it's the royal guard or Arthur at the moment, it's useless in this situation, even if the original sin armor is in this palace, it can't reverse the situation in the slightest.

Lorenzo trusted his own powers, and after retrieving Gabriel, he realized that he was different, and in the event of events, he became more and more like his mortal enemy.

The being called Lawrence.

Correspondingly, he also possessed enough strength to support his arrogance.

"Don't worry, Arthur, I'm not dead yet, am I?"

There was no fear in the Queen's voice, and she still had that calm smile, as if she had only one expression.

"Even if I die, let me finish answering Mr. Holmos's question first. ”

Lorenzo looked at her with a blank expression, waiting for an answer that would satisfy him.

"In fact, you won't believe any ideals and morals, after all, you have seen too much despicability of human nature, so it is better to talk about some more practical places. ”

Blood flowed from the sharp iron armor, and under the influence of the royal curse, her body was far more fragile than Lorenzo had imagined, and in the blink of an eye, blood stained the placket red.

Arthur on the side didn't say anything, he respected the queen's decision, but he was also angry and stared at Lorenzo.

"Did you know, Mr. Holmos, war is coming. ”

The Queen said.

Looking at Lorenzo, the queen continued to smile.

"In the end, what is more terrible than demons is us humans themselves, you are too immersed in the battle of demons, but you are neglected by us humans themselves. ”

"What war?"

"The Second Glorious War. ”

As Queen Victoria, the supreme ruler of all of Invig, she is the one who knows the situation in this world best, and she can also anticipate the next threat.

"Demons exist in the world, whether it is Invig or Gaulnalo, there are demons in them, and our recent intelligence shows that Gaulnalo has set up an organization to fight demons, and has also secretly joined forces with Leber to open an industrial zone. ”

"So what?"

The queen couldn't help but laugh at Lorenzo's question, she had no fear of death, just as she knew very well that Lorenzo would not kill her.

"Mr. Holmos, you are a good warrior and an expert in killers, but you are not a smart politician, as you said, under the temptation of demons, we in Ingwig can all degenerate into evil dragons, but what about other groups and countries with demon powers?"

The rising fireworks suddenly froze, like some kind of crystal crystal, frozen in the air.

This world is not just the old Dunling under your feet, this world is so big, so big that even with the development of industrial technology, there are still many areas that are blank on the yellowed map, and there are one unknown after another, and human beings are surrounded by these countless unknowns, barely surviving in them.

"At this moment of our conversation, there may be countless people killed by demons, and countless people have picked up the power of demons. ”

The sound poured into Lorenzo's ears like a spell.

"There is not only us in this world, but also more than one purification mechanism, a demon hunting order, and in that uninhabited darkness, there are too many conspiracies and tricks fermenting.

Like our sworn enemy, Gaul Nalo, we are only maintaining a pitiful peace now, and if they want to continue to expand, there will be a second glorious war between us, and it is already in the preparation stage. ”

The queen reached out and grabbed the sturdy iron armor, little by little removing the sharp edge from her neck, and Lorenzo did not react, just stared into her eyes, peeking into the possible lie.

"We can promise not to militarize the power of the demons, but who can guarantee that Gaulinaro has the same thoughts as us, and even if the war breaks out again and they militarize the demons defeat Invig, who will be able to stop them?

It's not terrible to chase power, it's the misuse of power that's scary, Mr. Holmos. ”

The flames began to roll like a swirling whirlpool, and at one point the light was so hot that it seemed to turn the entire area into a burning hell.

But it suddenly went out, Lorenzo's eyes returned to calm, and the dense iron armor fell off one by one, scattering into dust.

The queen picked up the tourniquet she had brought with her and wrapped it around her neck simply as she continued.

"I know, you may still not believe it, after all, none of this happened, it only exists in my story, but what you can know is that the cooperation between Gaulinaro and Leber has become closer and closer, not only them, but all the surrounding countries, trade has been much closer in the past few years, and they seem to maintain the same tacit understanding.

Although there is no official indication of this, some have already referred to the countries united along the Rhine River as the Rhine League. ”

Her voice paused.

"This is a bad sign, and in order to deal with this potential behemoth, Invig has united with other countries. ”

"So that's why you're so supportive of the Vikings?"

Invig was not a generous act, it was a political alliance like the Rhine League, and Lorenzo only found it disgusting.

The queen nodded, affirming Lorenzo's words.

"It can be said that judging from the current situation in the Western world, with the White Tide Strait as the boundary, one side is our Invig, and the other is Gaul Nalo, we are all growing rapidly, but the only space that can accommodate our survival is these, when we expand to the limit, it is the beginning of war. ”

"We do not desire war, if we can, we want to avoid it as much as possible, and once it begins, it will be an incomparably long battle with our size, but in this long struggle, I have a hunch that when humanity is in the deepest despair, it will be when the demons return to the earth. ”

Arthur, who was on the side, was relieved to see all this, and he walked towards the queen and said to Lorenzo at the same time. I love Search.com

"Or, to end the war in a very swift way, which requires the knowledge of the Keepers...... Another industrial revolution. ”

This is the reason, the reason to seek knowledge.

Lorenzo fell silent again, looked at Arthur, and then fixed his gaze on the queen's face.

In the midst of hesitation, the Queen's voice rang out again, knowing full well that she had to convince Lorenzo here, and even if that didn't work, at least let Lorenzo understand what it was all about.

"What's more, I think our interests overlap, Mr. Holmos, we aspire to higher knowledge, more powerful technology to avoid war, and in the same way, aren't you also chasing the root of the demon?

If there is anyone in this world who knows the demons best, then the only ones are the Keepers of Secrets. ”

Whether it was Invig or Lorenzo, whatever the purpose, the path ultimately led to the Keeper of the Secret.

Lorenzo remained silent, the tip of his nose smelling the smoke of the war.

War is doomed, Lorenzo is well aware of this.

But what disturbed him was what could happen in the war.

Death, despair, turmoil, betrayal.

What a perfect nourishment it was to nourish the demons, and if Gaulinaro had really militarized them at the end......

Lorenzo was a little afraid to imagine the future scene, but he also doubted the queen in front of him, Invig in his own place.

After a long silence, Lorenzo spoke again.

"I've taken on the job, and I hope it turns out as you say. ”

Lorenzo stepped back, staring at the queen repeating what she had said earlier.

"It's not scary to chase power, it's the abuse of power that is scary. ”

"It is our Victorian honour to have your trust. ”

The queen did not show the slightest anger at Lorenzo's actions, but replied with a smile on her face.

Lorenzo is an inseparable force, a free-walking humanoid armor of original sin...... No, more than that, as long as it is used properly, Lorenzo alone is a legion, but unfortunately this legion is not loyal to Invig, he is only loyal to his own interests, his own goals.

Lorenzo didn't appreciate these things, he said with a somewhat empty expression, without emotion.

"Don't be so hasty to thank me, Your Majesty, remember what you said, but please also remember that if one day, you also try to control those forces that should not be controlled, trying to lead the world astray, I will make you pay, believe me, I can do it. ”

The anger in my heart burned all the time, the anger from the Old Order, the roar of the night of Arrival.

Lorenzo Medici tried to believe in human beings, but he was consumed by the desires of those people, who did not care about the eradication of demons or the firmness of their faith, they only cared about their status and power, and only cared about their ability to look down on the world from above.

There was always some reason to drive Lorenzo to turn this somewhat neurotic creature into a demonic horror.

That's the reason.

"It would be better if someone could supervise us, the power is tempting, it can twist us into a terrible form. ”

The queen concluded.

When the conversation was over, Lorenzo walked out of the Platinum Palace with a gloomy face, the door already filled with royal guards, and when the secret blood stirred up, the surging erosion struck everyone's chest like an alarm bell.

They grabbed their weapons and glared at Lorenzo, but Lorenzo didn't care, he didn't even look at them, he took his weapon from the other royal guard, and he strode out into the world.

No one came to stop him, and there was no need to stop him.

Leaving the solemn atmosphere and rejoining the bustling city, Lorenzo turned into the corner of the alley, his gloomy expression suddenly collapsed.

He took a few quick breaths, and under his pajamas, cold sweat had soaked through the fabric.

I really didn't expect that I would be able to come out unharmed, for the queen's surprise attack is an extremely dangerous action, when doing all this, Lorenzo was extremely angry on the surface, but he was also worried in his heart, he didn't know what the queen's attitude would be next, whether to continue to talk to himself, or with an order, three thousand axes rushed into the platinum palace.

Fortunately, nothing happened later that was beyond Lorenzo's control, and his heart was also flooded, thinking that the world situation would be very bad, but he didn't expect the storm to be so violent in secret.

He didn't know how long the peace would last, and he didn't know where the job would ultimately lead the story.

But at least, Lorenzo succeeded.

Lorenzo is a madman, but he's a sane maniac, and he does things that go beyond the boundary, but all of them have a purpose, not just madness.

He closed his eyes slightly, and in the darkness, not far from Lorenzo, there were one fire after another, like a lighthouse on the coast.

The beacon was planted.

That was the ultimate goal of Lorenzo's actions just now.

Lorenzo's words and deeds had a deeper purpose, he was not just questioning Queen Victoria, he was trying to make his secret blood boil in a way that seemed reasonable, a way that would not alert anyone.

It was a perfect show and deception, Lorenzo managed to fool everyone, and the moment the secret blood rose, Lorenzo's erosion spread to Queen Victoria's body, planting a beacon of navigation on her.

Now this has become one of Lorenzo's cards, and as Lorenzo said, he is not lying, and from that moment on he has the ability to invade Queen Victoria, he can easily kill the heavily protected Queen, and he can also invade her mind without knowing it.

And also...... There are also those who are called the Keepers of Secrets, Lorenzo doesn't know how much of the Queen's story is true and how much is false, but at least at this moment, all the secrets can be easily obtained by Lorenzo at this moment.

It was a strange feeling, and in a trance Lorenzo even felt that he had become a being higher than humans, like some kind of god walking in the world, a sword hanging above everyone's head.
