Eve looked at the coin in front of her, she had never seen such a currency, she didn't know if it was the currency of a certain country or a simple commemorative coin, her expression was a little flustered, but soon Eve calmed down, her eyes were sharp like a sword blade.

She had the blood of the Phoenix family in her veins, like a spiritual dependence, and Eve knew very well that she could not be feared, she was the one who was destined to appear in the Hall of Manifestations, the Duchess of the Immortal Bird, and it was not the end yet.

"Is that okay?"

Eve picked up the coin and questioned Lorenzo about his gamble with Sabo, who now resembled a dealer.

Lorenzo nodded, then said to Sabo.

"There's no psychological warfare, there's no cheating, there's no tricks to transgress, it's pure luck and I like it. ”

"That's great. ”

Sabo nodded, happy that Lorenzo could agree to what seemed a ridiculous gamble.

"One side is a shield, and the other is a tomahawk. ”

"I choose the shield. Lorenzo said directly, not looking at Eve, he kept his eyes on Saab.

"This coin must have been around for years, I think it was a currency that had been abandoned. ”

"Yes, the currency issued by the Viking Kingdom Nobido more than ten years ago, you also know that the Vikings made their fortune as pirates, and there are all kinds of currencies, which can be regarded as the first currency to unify the Vikings, but now it is rare on the market, mostly in the hands of those collectors. ”

Sabo said with some nostalgia, and as he spoke, Eve tossed the coin in his hand, and it flew up in the air, like a silver-white elf under the light.

"Doesn't it mean anything to you, nostalgic for your hometown? You don't look like a collector, you won't stay for that long, right?"

That's probably what it means, just as soldiers who have retired from the battlefield still regularly look at their medals of honor.

"I don't miss that icy place, it was a mistake to be born there. I kept it simply because it was the first thing I won at the table and I lost my first finger for it and it was my lucky coin. ”

Sabo said as he rubbed his left hand, which was supposed to be his little thumb, but now it was empty, except for a scar from an untreated wound.

"I still had four fingers at the time, and I won the bastard, but he was also a coward, so I killed him, and it was like the first time I had killed someone. It's a really great feeling to take your destiny into your own hands. ”

There was excitement in the words, and the deformed experience in front of me was far more legendary than I imagined.

The girl quickly caught the coin with her hand, and then covered it on the table, which was a child-like game, but now it was extremely heavy.

"Uncover it. ”

Hearing Lorenzo's words, Eve slowly lifted her hand, and on top was a battle axe, and Lorenzo lost.

"Who the hell are you?"

Sabo rubbed his scar with a wistful gaze that seemed to be what he really wanted to know.

"Lorenzo Holmes, a detective. ”

Lorenzo replied directly, but Sabo shook his head vigorously, as if he was not satisfied with the answer.

"What I want to know is who you were before you came to Old Dunling, who you really are. ”

Like Beroe, he is curious about the mysterious detective's past.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Lorenzo said.

"Pastor. ”

Even Eve on the side was a little confused, and I was afraid that no one could connect this neurotic bastard with a noble priest.

"A pastor, an evangelical pastor?"

Priesthood is not an uncommon profession, a hundred years ago the masters of the world were still the Holy Gospel Papal States, they relied on their doctrine to distribute countless priests to various countries, and secretly controlled the countries in the name of faith, but with the rise of steam technology, the so-called faith fell to the bottom, and firecrackers and airships freed everyone from the shackles of faith.

Sabo laughed as he spoke, and then continued.

"This time I'm betting on tomahawks. ”

So Eve tossed the coin, and it rose and fell in the air, neither of them looking at the flip in the air, they stared at each other closely, their tone was full of peace, but their hearts were still tense. This time it was still Tomahawk up, and Saab won again.

"Why did you come to Old Dunling?"

"Because this is Old Dunling. The world's top technology city, the city of hope, the city of steam, the roaring machines will leave the old era forever.

The people of Emerald say it's a good place, it's full of gold, opportunities and riches are everywhere compared to ethereal beliefs, it's open to everyone, and you can have a new life when you come here. ”

Lorenzo said lightly, very calmly, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

"Also, the power of the church is getting less and less, and in order to consolidate the rule, the kings destroyed church after church with the help of firearms, and now it is not a hundred years ago, when you pastors could live comfortably for a lifetime just by raising donations. ”

It seemed that Lorenzo was just a gold digger in the name of the old Dunling, and Sabo thought it was a little ridiculous.

"I really didn't expect that an executioner like you would once be a priest, aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

The Red River tragedy killed countless people, and the cruelty of the methods would make even the butcher feel terrified, and all this came from the hand of the detective who was a priest in front of him.

"If divine punishment really exists, I'm afraid you have been split into a sea of fire by thunder here. ”

The sonatonic band had long since stopped, and they had also inhaled hallucinogens, twisted their faces and danced strangely together, and on the dance floor, people tore their clothes and skin, dozens of bloody wounds appeared on their white bodies, like wild beasts, making senseless roars and whispers, and human civilization was completely abandoned.

"Maybe the gods are just waiting for us to be reckoned with after death? ”

"It's still a shield. ”

"Why did you choose the shield? You've already lost twice. Saab was puzzled.

"You beat me twice, so you're less lucky than I am. Lady Luck doesn't favor anyone, and now she's going to let me win it back. "He's confident.

Eve unveiled her hand, and it seemed that it was really a shield, as Lorenzo had said, and this time it was a shield, and he had won.

"What the hell is that shipment?"

This is what Lorenzo needs to know most at the moment, that mysterious shipment, everything tonight is because of it.

"The Sacred Coffin, it is said that the group dug it out of a shipwreck in the ice sea, and many people have died for this thing. ”

"The Sacred Coffin?

Lorenzo had never heard of anything like this, not even in theology.

"I don't know. ”

Sabo said frankly, "Like a pronoun, like a god in the evangelical church, do you know what it is? whether it is a person or a thing, or something else, like the Holy Grail in doctrine, just some kind of pronoun, something that cannot be spoken. ”

"Man cannot describe such a thing, so he has to call it by a divine and noble name. ”

As if something had been touched, Lorenzo sensed something strange.

The coin was tossed again, flipped and fell.

"Shield or tomahawk. ”

This time it was Eve who asked, as neither of them spoke first this time.

"Shield. ”

Sabo said suddenly, and this time he chose Lorenzo's shield.

Unveiling the coin, as Lorenzo said, Lady Luck does not favor anyone, it is the Tomahawk Lorenzo who wins again.

But this time Lorenzo didn't rush to ask questions, but picked up his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"What's next for you?"

It's late at night, and if anything, it's after dawn, and now that it's still a long time before dawn, Sabo is a little curious about what Lorenzo is waiting for.

"yes, so that's going to be my last question. ”

"It's not a good thing to win and leave. Sabo's eyes were slightly cold, the most taboo thing on the gambling table is this kind of thing, run away if you win, although the gambler is not a good thing, but this can be regarded as a villain among gamblers.

"Please understand, there is no way to do it. ”

Lorenzo said and stood up and walked to the edge of the high platform, the location here is really good, everything is in front of the eyes, the original prosperity is gone, under the hall is a messy body, now the hallucinogens have completely paralyzed their nerves, this time they don't even have the strength to stand, lying on the carpet, their eyes are chaotic.

The high nobles are like lowly beggars, stripped of their glory and dignity, like the wretched animals in the enclosure.

"What do you usually do with these people?"

"Is that a question of betting?"

"Of course not, I'm just curious...... You'll satisfy my curiosity, right? ”

Lorenzo smiled kindly at Sabo, as if he was genuinely curious.

"It's simple, from where we go back and forth, we will drop our guests off in a luxurious hotel in the inner city, where they will wake up in a soft and clean bed after they have lost their tiredness, and the wonderful world of Old Dunlin is outside, and last night was like a dream. ”

"It's a beautiful ending, isn't it?"

"Sounds good. ”

Lorenzo nodded approvingly, then asked one last question.

"What about those people? The crew of the Silverfish, who transported the Sacred Coffin, and the people who stopped me that day, where are they?"

This was Lorenzo's last question, he wanted an answer, and just like before, Sabo didn't hide it in the slightest, and honestly made Lorenzo think he was his own.

"They're all dead, and even if they're not dead, they're almost dead. ”

Saab said directly.

"All dead?"

Lorenzo asked in disbelief, then his pupils constricted as if he realized something.

"You killed them?"
