Two days, three waves of people, the same thing.

Lorenzo had already faintly sensed something wrong, like a group of people were playing tricks on themselves.

He directly stretched out his hand, took off the hanging Winchester above his head, pulled the iron ring of the gauntlet, and heard a clear click, and the bullet was loaded.

"Wait! This thing can fire?"

Oscar was stunned and said that he had always regarded this thing as a commemorative artifact, and who knew that it was really a weapon.

"What do you say?"

Lorenzo looked vicious.

This is what Hercule emphasized to him, just as the Rat King was really just a big rat, and this Winchester really was a shotgun, not some ridiculous craft.

"What's going on?"

The shrike at the door didn't understand what was going on, but after seeing Oscar, he was vaguely aware that as Arthur's most trusted subordinate, he also knew Oscar's identity.

"You, you, and you! Don't talk yet!"

But Lorenzo didn't give him the time to ask, he silenced everyone while he pondered the cause of all this.

The woman.

The woman shrouded in darkness.

Lorenzo couldn't help but recall the impressive fragrance of the time.

It wasn't a soft and cozy taste for a woman, and all Lorenzo could feel was the cold winds of the north, which rolled up sharp snowflakes and carved her face.

"So, Oscar, is his rival?"

Lorenzo cleared his mind and pointed to the shrike.

"North Dero is in competition with the Purification Agency. ”

Oscar didn't answer himself, but judging by the look on his face that he had eaten a fly, Lorenzo guessed correctly, and the reason why he was so anxious just now was probably that he knew that the purifier would also find him.

It's a pity that he worked hard and finally became like this.

"Lorenzo, you're good!"

Oscar said to Lorenzo in a bit of a panic, it seems that he is really afraid that the business will be taken away by the purifier.

Seleuc didn't react much, she came here to cooperate with Oscar, and what is happening now is not the same as what Oscar said before and herself, Seleuc is a little unable to act.

The shrike had come to his senses at the moment, and even the Kestrel idiot should have known what was going on here.

"Arthur agreed to your request, we will work together again, and there is a job here......" Shrike tried to win Lorenzo's heart, but he sternly interrupted.

"Wait!"

Lorenzo said, and then he looked at Oscar, a look of confidence.

"Like you said, this is what I owe you, Oscar, and I'll help you. ”

Oscar was stunned, he didn't expect Lorenzo to agree to himself so simply, but he didn't have time to be moved, so he heard Lorenzo say to Berau again.

"Our cooperation will continue. ”

The scene fell silent again.

"Lorenzo, what are you thinking!"

Oscar asked, a little confused, that in this way, Lorenzo's cooperation with the Purifier should be terminated.

But Lorenzo didn't care about that, but looked like a villain.

"Don't get excited, let's talk about this kind of thing slowly, anyway, don't you still have to entrust it to me in the end?"

Lorenzo said nonchalantly.

"So, one job, earn two jobs, what's the problem?"

......

After taking Lorenzo, the carriage became slightly crowded, and the dreary air mixed with different atmospheres, each with their own thoughts*.

In Seleuc's words, she temporarily abandoned the light and went to the dark, so she sat in a row with Lorenzo, and for what was next, she decided to give up.

She wasn't good at arguing with others, and she chose to leave this kind of trouble to Oscar, a flamboyant guy, after all, he brought it all up in the first place.

Opposite her and Lorenzo, Oscar sat side by side with the two rivals, the shrike was obviously a little unable to parry Oscar, and his cheeks twitched slowly, as if he was holding back something.

Also, Beroe has always been a serious and serious guy, and Oscar is like an old version of Lorenzo, always saying some nonsense, in one sentence that Seleu often describes Oscar, probably "damn old thing".

"So you're sure you want to do it? Lorenzo. ”

Shrike asked, feeling that Lorenzo's behavior was getting more and more ridiculous, as if he wanted to turn the rivalry into a partnership.

"Otherwise? After all, it's not your fault? I can't refuse what work you want to give me as soon as I come up, a bunch of messy things, and the argument has reached this point, and I know that it has something to do with Gaulnalo, but I don't know anything about the rest of the information. ”

Lorenzo looked back out the car window and looked at Oscar and Shrike, who were sitting together.

On the one hand, there is the mysterious North Dero, and on the other hand, there is a little understanding of the purification mechanism, but in fact, in the degree of mystery, Lorenzo feels that the North Dero formed by this group of businessmen is even more terrifying.

They have no influence in Invig, but outside the territory, no one knows exactly how much power they have, and this vast wealth and power is not in the service of North Delo, which is just a tool, a cover to cover their existence.

Nation-builders.

That's the essence of Oscar and North Dro.

Although Oscar helped him, Lorenzo still knew too little about the mysterious builder, and not only that, but he also knew too little about the world.

The old Dunling is not representative of the whole world, it is only a microcosm of the world, and the real world is at the end of the railroad tracks, where there is much more than Lorenzo could imagine.

"So, instead of who to choose, why don't you take me to the client and let me know what I'm going to do, okay?"

Lorenzo asked.

Seeing Lorenzo's serious attitude, both Oscar and Berau fell silent.

Indeed, there is a huge interest at stake, which neither the purification agency nor North Dero is willing to give up, and it seems that the only person who can decide this interest is Lorenzo at the moment.

After all these events, Lorenzo has perfectly proved his own terrifying ability to fight alone, and instead of sending an army, it is better to throw a heavily armed Lorenzo into battle. chamberlain

That's why this job has to be Lorenzo, and there's no one to replace him, at least for now.

"Okay......"

The two compromised, but Beroe asked, looking at Lorenzo with some unhappiness.

"So, Lorenzo, are you sure you want to meet your employer like this?"

Lorenzo wrapped his pajamas tightly and looked indifferent.

"What's wrong?"

He's right.

......

Sunlight shines through the dome and falls on the auditorium, and as far as the eye can see, it is a golden and brilliant appearance.

In the corners of the surrounding area, there are scattered soldiers of the Purifier, holding unlit thermite rifles, guarding the place like sculptures.

Lorenzo remembers the last time he had been in front of the Protestant Order, headed by Anthony, and it was a terrible meeting and the opening of the storm.

It's just that he didn't expect to return here so soon to meet another mysterious employer.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Lorenzo looked around, although there were basically few people in the auditorium, but everyone's eyes were still involuntarily attracted by Lorenzo, after all, since this auditorium was built and put into use, Lorenzo should have been the first to come in pajamas.

Fortunately, there were no funny patterns printed on his pajamas, otherwise Seleuc really wouldn't have planned to sit next to him and wait with him.

"So you know, what the hell is going on?"

Lorenzo leaned into the couch and treated it as if it were his own living room, not caring about the image, to be precise, this guy didn't have any image.

"I only know part of it, and you know it anyway, Oscar talks about people and talks nonsense, and he only needs to say the part that impresses me enough to impress me. ”

Seleucus replied that she knew a lot about Oscar.

Lorenzo nodded, this is indeed what Oscar looks like, he will talk to himself about some strange grand deeds, or talk about how to cut demons faster, and in the face of Seleuc, he will talk about some girls, but then he found that this routine is not easy for Seleuc, instead of talking about this, it is better to talk about the interests of the Stuart family.

Oscar said that after the success of this work, the Vikings were willing to open safe shipping lanes, you know, although they have completed internal unification, in the surrounding waters, piracy is still rampant, and North Dro ships need to spend a lot of money to protect, and even say that they simply abandon the northern shipping lanes and turn to detours. ”

"Is that so......"

"Yes, and Nordro is willing to let our Stuart community join the trade, this is a new beginning for us, although in the eyes of the nobles of Invig, the Stuart group is still a new group of nobles, but you know, Lorenzo, as time goes by, we will gradually become the 'old nobility' and will fall into the same predicament as them. ”

It seems that Seleuc did not eat, drink and be merry after becoming a duke, but learned a lot of knowledge from Yawei very seriously, and she also had a general understanding of the entire Stuart community.

'We need to change and it's a good opportunity and Stuart will continue to go strong. ”

Lorenzo nodded as he listened to Seleu's words, he felt like a boss, and Seleu was his assistant, reporting to him about the company's current situation.

Well, he didn't know why he had such an inexplicable feeling, and at this moment, Seleuc said again.

"After careful consideration, I am ready to join North Dro after this collaboration. ”

"Oh. ”

Lorenzo still looked nonchalant, but this time this casual look didn't last long, his expression gradually became wonderful, and then he said in hindsight.

"What? join North Dero?

Lorenzo looked like he had just woken up and looked at the girl beside him in shock.

Seleuc, as usual, with long pale blonde hair and an indifferent look, Lorenzo rubbed her head, and it didn't look like she had been hit by something to the touch.

Lorenzo's eyes were full of words, "What are you thinking?", to which Seleu calmly gave his own explanation.

"This partnership is just an opportunity, we need to work more closely with North Dero and it is best to join them, and ......"

Seleuc was silent for a moment, meeting Lorenzo's pupils.

"And, Lorenzo, you need a trustworthy backing. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Whether it's the purifier or the North Dero, they all come out of their own interests, and you just happen to overlap with their interests, and that's the case throughout, but what when the interests diverge?

Just like you were hunted by the Purifier before, cooperation is only temporary, no matter who you work with, think about it on the bad side, what if there is no more North Dero to help you next time?

What are you going to do then? Lorenzo. ”

Faced with Seleus's questions, Lorenzo's expression gradually became solemn, he had already guessed what Seleu wanted to say, and what she wanted to do.

Lorenzo wanted her not to do this, he didn't need Seleu's help, but he didn't know how to dissuade her, the words came to his lips, and he didn't know what to say, maybe he really didn't wake up, Lorenzo's mind was a little chaotic, and at this time, hurried footsteps sounded, interrupting Lorenzo's train of thought.

Oscar on the left and Berau on the right, like two guards, arched and guarded the people in it.

It was a Viking, as you could tell from his size, as strong as a bull, his cheeks carved by the cold wind of the north, and his beard tied together and braided.

"Presumably this is Mr. Lorenzo Holmos. ”

He walked straight over, reached out and shook Lorenzo's hand hard.

"Hybod Achillal. ”

Lorenzo nodded at him, and the Viking didn't care about the etiquette, so he dragged a chair and sat in front of Lorenzo.

"I have a job here that I need to entrust to you. ”

His tone was anxious, it turned out that this job was really urgent, even the employer was in a hurry, no wonder Oscar and Berau reacted like that.

"You say. ”

This development was a bit unexpected by Lorenzo, and in the afterglow of his vision, the two guys who looked like door gods were also a little embarrassed, probably because they didn't expect this employer to be so direct, they wanted to stop it, and they didn't know if there was a chance.

"This is a commission from the Rod Blok family. ”

Hybode said that the name of the family was somewhat familiar, and Lorenzo couldn't remember it for a while.

"We want you to help us with one thing. ”

He vaguely remembered that the leader who unified the Viking kingdoms seemed to be this surname.

"The scandal from the Rod Bullock house. ”

After speaking, Lorenzo's expression was almost wrinkled and sad.
