In the back kitchen of the tavern, three people and one rat sat in a circle, like a mysterious assembly, and these people were preparing a vicious ritual.

Lorenzo looked at the slightly dirty set here, and couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Hercule, which was also a tavern and a back kitchen, and he began to wonder if this tavern could be some of Hercule's property, and this business seemed to be doing well, and there were chain stores in Rendona.

Hercule covered his face and looked pained, just now Lorenzo hugged him excitedly, and then directly tore off Hercule's beard, although it was a disguise, this thing was tightly attached to the skin, and he felt as if someone had torn off a layer of skin.

Eve looked at Hercule with some curiosity, holding the fluffy Poirot in his hand, the big mouse was very good at dealing with people, and sometimes Hercule even suspected that if the enemy came to the door one day, this stinky mouse might also pounce on the other party's arms.

"Although I know that you are still alive, it still feels a little incredible to see you alive. ”

Hercule looked up slightly, and he let go of his hand, only to see half of his face redden.

"It's a great fortune, but I'm surprised that you weren't caught by Arthur. ”

Lorenzo and he blew each other, looking like good brothers.

During that storm, the Reichenbach crashed on a ridge, causing a lot of turmoil, and in order to find out how Lorenzo did this, Lorenzo's best friends were all invited to tea by Arthur, except for Hercule, a cunning fox, who escaped.

"I'm different from those two guys, Oscar is from North Dro, and Seleuc is a duke, and what about me!" Hercule said of his escape, "Well, in fact, I have made a lot of money with my excellent brain, but I am only rich, and I am a person like me who is rich and powerless, and if I am caught by Arthur, I don't know what will happen!"

Hercule's brilliant brain had conceived many of his own endings, including the confiscation of all his assets and the imprisonment of himself in an insane asylum, waiting to be dissected.

"I saw that you were very interested in demons before, but if you were invited to tea by Arthur, you might have the privilege of visiting the most advanced institution in the Western world to fight demons. ”

For Hercule's behavior as a good dragon, Lorenzo expressed his disapproval.

"I have the life to visit, but I don't have the life to come out, I know more or less what the Black Mountain Hospital is, and they may directly slice my precious brain. ”

Hercule stood up, and picked up whatever he could from the bottles and cans on the table.

"What to drink, ma'am. ”

"Just call me Eve," Eve looked a little reserved in the face of the stranger, "It's fine, like Lorenzo." ”

"Well, Lorenzo is lucky, I didn't plan to invite him to drink. ”

Hercule gritted his teeth.

Lorenzo's last act is to play with these good friends, which feels like these people are planning to rob a bank, and as a result, Lorenzo drives into the Platinum Palace.

Obviously, it was a life sentence to die, but it suddenly became a death sentence, who can withstand this.

"This guy doesn't know how to mix, do you dare to drink?" Lorenzo said to Eve.

"To be precise, I'm only going to mix one kind of wine, which I call 'casual fate'. ”

After Herculi finished speaking, he placed two wine glasses in front of them, which were mixed with strange liquids, viscous or clear, and in Lorenzo's eyes, Hercule should have taken the wine glasses in the crude oil liquid.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is essentially a mess, as long as you can't drink it. ”

Hercule also prepared a cup for himself, and took a sip without fear, and after drinking it, his face became solemn, as if he was savoring it.

"Taste it too, and tell me how thanks. ”

Eve hesitated, but reached out and brought the glass to her lips, and before she could drink, the strong smell of alcohol almost overwhelmed her, but in the end she took a sip.

Surprisingly, it tasted a little strange, but it wasn't unacceptable.

"This ...... It felt like drinking a glass of laundry laundry with engine oil. ”

Lorenzo drank it all and hiccuped.

Ignoring Eve's stunned eyes, Lorenzo looked at Hercule and smiled.

"And what do you want to do this time? Mr. Holmos. ”

The meeting got to the point, and Hercule became serious, and as an informant, he also had to be professional.

"I need you to do me a favor, but it's dangerous, and it's important. But you've passed my test, and we're going to get started if you want. ”

Lorenzo didn't have the slightest attitude of inviting others, like an uncle.

"Test, do you mean the messaging that spreads?"

Hercule pulled out a poster from the corner, which was the poster for the opening of the Winchester office.

The rats hovered around Lorenzo and never left.

Although Hercule is no longer in Old Dunling, he still dominates the rat colony, and a steady stream of information is passed on until Lorenzo takes the initiative to contact him.

A written letter was passed through layers and finally arrived in front of Hercule's eyes, time and place, but there was no content of the matter.

"Interested in guessing what I'm going to do this time?"

Lorenzo asked, looking at Hercule, hoping he could give himself a perfect answer, but he also hoped that the damn rats didn't peep too much, after all, Lorenzo also needs private space.

"Stay away from the old Dunling, although you told me that you are reluctant to make a comfortable bed, but I know very well that you just like the old Dunling, and you can quickly get to another place in the iron serpent, instead of riding a horse all the way up, so you hate to go to other places.

It must be an important job to be able to move you. ”

Hercule's gaze fell on Eve's, and in combination with Eve's identity, he continued.

"A mission from the powerful. ”

"You've got a rare Viking in your ranks, and the Viking kingdoms recently sent another emissary...... Wait, this is a commission from the Vikings?"

Hercule looked like he had come to his senses.

"Yes, Hercule, a very troublesome job, I'm going to arrive in Gaulnalo, and if you really have investigated me, you should know how valuable my head is there. ”

Lorenzo continued.

"And this time I won't have any backup, after all, the Purifier and North Dero have been found out, and maybe the two sides will go to war. ”

"So you're coming for me, Lorenzo!"

Hercule's voice was raised, he had just been pitted by Lorenzo, he could only wander around, and he could not even return to the old Dunling, but now he was here again.

"Don't get so excited, I think you're looking forward to the next adventure, right?"

Lorenzo also stood up, easily crossed the table, and then grabbed Hercule, placing his hand on his shoulder in a look of intimacy.

"You also know that I'm too lazy to look for you without trouble, but when you know this, you still come to see me, doesn't it mean that you are also looking forward to these things, doesn't it?"

As Lorenzo spoke, his hand was still drawing in the air, as if to paint a beautiful picture of the future.

"Didn't you think I was here to get revenge on you?"

Hercule turned his head stiffly as he lifted his clothes as he spoke, only to notice that he had a revolver pinned to his waist, and from that calibre, a single shot might kill a bull directly.

"Ah......h

Lorenzo didn't know what to say for a while, and even if he thought about it.

"Calm down first, Hercule, there are many benefits to this matter, maybe you can clear your name? By the way, are you interested in joining the purification agency? I can give you an internal recommendation!"

Although Hercule was not a threat to himself, Lorenzo decided that it would be better to calm him down first.

"Lorenzo, what a sin you have. ”

It wasn't clear what had happened between them, but Eve felt that it would be so angry that an ordinary person would be so angry that he would take out a demon hunter with a gun.

Hercule stared at Lorenzo, and there seemed to be real anger rolling in his eyes......

Countless emotions are mixed together, just like the blind "casualness".

"Well, tell me what's going on this time. ”

The anger on his face suddenly disappeared, as if his face had changed, and Hercule sat back, his expression a little distorted and weird, and his body seemed to be still trembling slightly.

"What does it matter to make you take the work so seriously?"

Hercule asked.

Lorenzo impressed Hercule, but not because of the benefits of his mouth, but because of the secrets that followed.

This is the essence of him, a patient with an almost pathological quest for information, intelligence, secrets, etc., and that deformed desire for control.

"Yvoir Rodblok. ”

Lorenzo said the name of the target.

"Ragnar Rodbrock's son, what's going on?"

Hercule asked, and at the same time the thoughts in his mind kept surging, this time the deduction was a bit difficult for Hercule, his intelligence network only covered the old Dunling and the surrounding area, and he didn't know much about this foreign country.

Seeing Hercule get into the groove, Lorenzo also became serious and didn't do those messy things.

The brisk atmosphere instantly became heavy, Eve looked at the two of them with some restlessness, and the two who were still scuffling together just now suddenly became serious, which felt like a group of fighting tigers suddenly stopped biting and jumped into the ring of fire.

But also, Hercule is Lorenzo's friend, and how many of Lorenzo's good friends are normal people?

Thinking of this, Eve laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

Indeed, even he is not a normal person, he is a ranger, a natural ranger.

"Is that so...... Pretty interesting. ”

After listening to Lorenzo's account, Hercule fell silent, thinking seriously.

"Hybod must be hiding something, and I'm not at ease, so I hope you can help me secretly. Lorenzo pleaded.

"And at what cost? Mr. Holmos. ”

Hercule smiled like a profiteer.

"I owe you. ”

"You haven't paid what you owed last time. Lorenzo was momentarily speechless.

That didn't last long, and Hurcule probably didn't expect Lorenzo to come up with any good pay, he continued.

"In other words, this time, you will not only have to track down Ivar's whereabouts and find a way to bring him back, but you will also have to confront the Iron Law Bureau, and maybe even break into a military base or something. ”

Hercule shook his head as he spoke, he didn't know how to describe this crazy plan for a while.

"The location is still ...... Gallinaro"

He seemed to remember something, and Hercule then looked at Lorenzo.

"Lorenzo, I've heard some other news lately, and I think you might be interested in it, maybe it has something to do with this work. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Word is circulating that Gaulna Lo is ready to establish his own religion. Hercule was sitting precariously.

"What?"

Lorenzo, who was born in the Evangelical Church, was particularly sensitive to such things as religion, and he thought a lot about it in an instant.

"In fact, it started a few months ago, a new religion appeared in Gaul-Nalo, they called themselves Orthodox, of course, this kind of religious group is not unseen, but it has basically been exterminated by the Evangelical Church, plus the Gaul-Nalo people are already faithful believers in the Evangelical Church, this Protestantism does not have a large group of believers. ”

Hercule continued.

Historically, the teachings of the Evangelical Church have spread all over the country, and the most influenced by it is Gaulnalo, because of the isolation of the White Tide Strait, Invig has not been infiltrated as thoroughly as Gaul Nalo, and as for the more distant Viking countries, they who believe in the god Odin do not disdain these at all.

"So is there anything special about this time?"

Lorenzo asked if there must be something special about this so-called Orthodoxy that allowed Hercule to keep it in mind.

"Do you know Migel?"

"Cardinal Migar, a member of the Evangelical Church, a member of the exiles. ”

Shermans's notes not only record the knowledge of demons, but also some of Shermans's observations, such as the strange new pope, the exiles who were forced to leave.

In his notes, he mentions more than once that he wanted to counterattack back to the Seven Hills and kill the heretic who blasphemed the Holy Spirit, but he ended up dying in the foreign land of Invig.

"After the Orthodoxy had accumulated a certain foundation, Migar appeared, and in his capacity as a cardinal, he declared that the Evangelical Church had deviated from the will of God, that divine authority was now being held by heresy, and that he wanted to re-establish his devotion to God, and thus Orthodoxy was born. ”

Hercule thought back to the information, in fact, this was not a secret news, in Gaul Nalory, many people witnessed this moment, but probably because of the transmission of information, it is still only spreading within Gaul Nalo.

Migar then had more cardinals who had been in exile with him testify, which made people more convinced of the veracity of his words...... After all, you know this kind of thing. ”

In between words, Hercule revealed his disdain for faith.

But this is not the most crucial thing, and it is then the attitude of the official Gaulna Naro that is the most curious, because their people have historically been inspired by the Gospels, and it stands to reason that this Orthodoxy is a complete heresy before them, and even if the cardinal testifies, it will be strongly controversial.

Judging by the attitude of the official Gaulnalo, they are supporting this Orthodox Church. ”

Hercule's gaze became heavy.

"It's a terrible sign, Gaulna Nalo doesn't want to be held by the Evangelical Church anymore, they want to start their own religion. ”

No one answered, and suddenly all the sounds died down, and in the long silence Lorenzo finally opened his mouth to break the silence.

"No, it's not. ”

Thinking back to what Arthur had said to himself before, the situation that had begun to change drastically, Lorenzo suddenly understood.

"What Gaulnalo wanted was not a new religion. ”

Night of Coming, Warpie, Secret Blood, Cardinal, Migar......

For some reason, at this moment, Lorenzo completely lost his previous relaxed and casual appearance, like a beast that sensed a crisis, he involuntarily clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, he was like a deadly blade, on the verge of unsheathing.

"What they want is another...... Demon Hunters. ”
