It's been a busy day, and everything is piled up, waiting to be done, but fortunately, the current thing has nothing to do with the demons, otherwise Lorenzo wouldn't be the casual he is now.

After all this experience, Lorenzo also has a general understanding of the secrets of the old Dunling, in fact, the whole old Dunling is a fortified fortress, an efficient transportation system, a constantly patrolling airship, and the mysterious antimeme, all of which are trying to protect the city and the core of the city.

Victorian royal family.

They are so mysterious that they almost never appear in the eyes of the world unless necessary, deliberately weakening their existence, and even forgetting that there is a queen in this country.

Of course, Lorenzo didn't know if their presence was really so weak, or if the antimemetic powers of the scavengers were secretly at work.

In short, Lorenzo has too many questions about this mysterious royal family, and all these questions seem to be answered today.

Outside the Platinum Palace was the Legion's defensive line, and the soldiers were armed with their guns pointed upwards like spears piercing the sky, and after a heavy inspection, the carriage slowly drove into an open area, surrounded by nothing but green grass.

The splendid palace was at the end of the meadow, and several roads led to it, and there was a man-made stream in between, and it was a beautiful sight.

Although it seemed like there was nothing, it was the most heavily defended place, because there was no cover, and even a rat running in the grass could be clearly seen from the watchtowers.

Lorenzo sat in the car, and he was sure that there might be several guns pointed at it in the shadows, and if there was any movement in the carriage, they would go straight to the sound of their guns, and hundreds of soldiers would rush in and tear themselves to pieces.

"Next, follow me and don't do anything out of the ordinary. ”

Opposite Lorenzo, Arthur said to Lorenzo.

"Hmm...... But at this time, Her Majesty should be having lunch, do I have a chance to mix a bite? ”

Lorenzo looked out the window, the sky in Old Dunling was still gloomy, but at least it was much stronger than before the rainy season, and he could see the sun falling.

"Be serious, Lorenzo, you're about to face Queen Victoria. ”

Arthur said with a bit of a headache.

Many times, when strangers meet the queen, Arthur has to worry about whether they are assassins and whether they have any other intentions, but when he arrives at Lorenzo, Arthur does not think that he will assassinate the queen, but thinks that Lorenzo may perform some strange acrobatics in front of the queen.

And the starting point for all of this is probably just because Lorenzo thought it was going to be interesting, yes, just funny.

Looking at Lorenzo's somewhat dazed expression, Arthur also understood a little.

Some people are just that's boring.

He'd experienced the most cruel things, he'd seen the most horrible weirdness, and there was very little thing that tugged at his heartstrings, so he began to get bored and laugh at some strange things.

If you live too long, you will become like this, with a bit of madness.

......

Outside the gates of the Platinum Palace, the royal guards raised their guns and signaled for the carriage to stop.

They are the personal guards directly under the royal family, and are responsible for the internal security of the Platinum Palace. This would be the last check, and they had received the news that there would be a visitor today, and in addition to the familiar Arthur, there was a new guest.

Knowing that the Platinum Palace rarely has new guests, it makes these royal guards wonder who would have the privilege of meeting Queen Victoria in person.

Is it male or female, tall or short, noble or lowly...... This makes everyone curious.

The door was pushed open, and Arthur stepped down, and a short time later, another person walked down as well.

The entry is a thigh with leg hair, followed by a barefoot ...... No, he's wearing slippers, his eyes are up, it's a ridiculous blue robe, etc...... It's pajamas.

The expressions of the royal guards were wonderful, for a moment they were a little overwhelmed, they were facing a more ferocious situation, but today the situation really made them a little confused.

But that wasn't the end of it, the guest walked down, his hair messy, like a chicken coop, as if he had just been dragged out of the bed, and he didn't look awake.

"Oh, oh, this is the Platinum Palace?

The guest made a statement that he had never seen before.

"This light, this water, this ...... Soldier!"

He was like a visitor, and Arthur's expression became faintly hideous, and he swore that Lorenzo definitely did it on purpose.

From the moment he insisted on wearing his pajamas, he did it on purpose.

"Gentlemen, please give me the weapons. ”

The royal guards maintained their due professionalism and did not laugh at Lorenzo's absurd appearance, but went about their work.

Arthur graciously took out the pistol at his waist, the only weapon he had on his hand, and handed it to the royal guard.

As for Lorenzo, it may have been because he was wearing his pajamas, but unexpectedly, no one stopped him, and he didn't move, just stood there dumbfounded.

"Let's go! ”

Arthur really didn't want to talk to Lorenzo, didn't want to have anything to do with this neurotic here.

"Wait for me. ”

Lorenzo said suddenly, and then reached under his pajamas, not knowing what he was looking for.

This time, it was not only Arthur, but the royal guards were also stunned, only to see Lorenzo take out two armor-piercing hammers from under his pajamas and hand them to the royal guards on the side.

"This thing is flammable and explosive, remember to handle it with care. ”

The royal guard took the hammer in a bit of confusion, his eyes full of confusion.

Who is this guy?

Shall I arrest him?

Where did this thing come from?

Immediately afterward, these chaotic thoughts were interrupted by what was coming out next.

A short-handled shotgun with a beautiful workmanship appeared in everyone's eyes, and a small line of poetry was carved on it, like a handicraft.

Everyone was stunned.

"Alright, let's go. ”

Lorenzo didn't care about the other people's expressions, and walked directly towards the Platinum Palace with his slippers, and in the empty corridor, the sound of the slippers was so crisp and loud, like a slap in the face, slapped everyone in the face.

The rest of the journey fell silent, Arthur really didn't want to have any communication with Lorenzo, and Lorenzo himself had a good time.

This is the Platinum Palace, after all, and it is not an easy place to reach, and Lorenzo does not have the inhibitions that everyone else has when he first arrives here, as if he were walking in the living room of his own home, his eyes sweeping and looking at it.

If it weren't for the royal guards guarding the other areas, Lorenzo wouldn't mind checking the Platinum Palace's defenses before meeting Queen Victoria.

"Alright, here we are, Lorenzo. ”

Finally, in front of a large door, the two stopped.

It was a gilded gate, smooth and golden, and the faces of the two of them were reflected in it very clearly.

At this moment, Lorenzo couldn't help but become serious, and with the slow opening of the door, the hazy glimmer swallowed him.

Behind the door was an empty and large dining room, with long tables on the red carpet, which were already filled with sumptuous food, but there was no one else, and the chairs beside the long tables were pushed under the tables, except for two chairs, which were intended for Arthur and Lorenzo.

Lorenzo looked ahead, and he saw a woman, the one known as Queen Victoria.

......

If you think about it, people today don't seem to know what Queen Victoria looks like, they don't know her name, and they don't even know what she is, which is a very strange phenomenon, as the ruler of the country, the public knows almost zero about her.

Here Lorenzo also saw her for the first time, different from what he imagined, it was a very ordinary woman, she did not even wear any fancy dress, or wear a noble crown, she was like an ordinary person who had strayed here, sitting at the head of the long table, looking at Lorenzo with a smile.

Lorenzo sat down in silence in his place, he hadn't seen Queen Victoria in person, he didn't know if the woman in front of him was a stand-in, but then he saw it.

The woman's skin was pale, but it was a little more bloody in the light, and in the corner of her sleeve, there was a blood vessel, and beside her a man was standing behind her and guarding her.

"Mr. Lorenzo Holmos. ”

The Queen's voice was not high, but in this empty space, it reached Lorenzo's ears with great clarity.

The two looked at each other, and Lorenzo burst out laughing.

"It's me, Lorenzo Holmos, Your Majesty, but you don't seem surprised by me, and I'm looking forward to your expression. ”

Lorenzo put away his jokes, and finally got serious, and his funny pajamas looked solemn.

"Do you mean pajamas? Actually, if you come respectfully, I will be disappointed, after all, this is not the same as you are described in the article. The queen replied.

"Your Majesty seems to know me well. ”

"Of course, I have a copy of everything about you, and I've read it many times. ”

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to care so much about me. Lorenzo said shamelessly.

The queen was still smiling, and then raised her hand to show Lorenzo the scarred wrist.

"You should be aware of the existence of the royal curse, right? Victoria's family is trapped in this ornate palace, which is a delicate birdcage...... I couldn't go out to see you for myself, so I had to find your appearance in these words, but I guessed right. ”

From the operational reports, the dictations of the personnel, and so on, these words painted in Queen Victoria's mind what Lorenzo looked like, a somewhat crazy, somewhat neurotic, and uncontrollable being.

"I've heard Arthur about you, and now that you've seen me with your own eyes, can we continue our cooperation?"

Lorenzo gave the same smile.

"Absolutely. ”

"Then it's time for you to keep your word, Mr. Holmos. ”

The queen continued.

"What. ”

I saw that the queen put down her knife and fork and looked directly at Lorenzo, and the entire lonely space was surging with inexplicable depression.

"Pseudo-Holy Grail, what is it exactly?"

Faced with this question, Lorenzo fell silent.

This is what he had promised Arthur before, that the two would work together again and be honest with each other, and that Lorenzo would explain the mysterious false chalice to the purifiers.

But what is the false grail?

In the end, it's just one of a lot of lies, a ridiculous lie.

Watson is the False Grail, and as a product of another plan of Lorenzo Medici, she has succeeded in "sublimating" into this being that resembles the Silencer.

Do you want to expose her?

The last time they met, Lorenzo had already cleared everything, Watson was not an enemy, at least for the time being, Watson was still on Lorenzo's side, and Watson's existence was so weird, Lorenzo was the only one who knew about her existence, if used properly, Watson would become a hole card for Lorenzo.

Of course...... Lorenzo also didn't know where the hole card was now.

Do you want to believe in the purification mechanism, tell them about Watson's existence?

The silence was short, but in this short time, Lorenzo's smile became strange, and Arthur on the side felt a little uneasy, although Lorenzo had been at a disadvantage before, being chased and beaten, but he knew very well what he would do when Lorenzo had the advantage.

After all, Lorenzo is an uncontrollable guy, and now everyone can sit together because of the same interests, if one day Invig also chooses to use the power of demons to achieve his own goals, then I am afraid that the weapon hidden in the pajamas before will be useful.

Lorenzo didn't mind being the enemy of the Purifier, as he had done before.

No one knew what Lorenzo was thinking, and then his voice rang out with a smile.

"What exactly is the False Holy Grail?"

Lorenzo repeated the question, and he looked directly at the Queen.

"Do you know the Rat King of Downtown?"

He suddenly said something else.

"Actually, it's really a mouse, a big mouse, and many people are misled by the inertia of thinking, but again, this misdirection can be reversed.

The False Holy Grail is not actually a physical ...... In previous research, Abigail was aware of this, didn't he?"

Little by little, the lies weaved, Lorenzo smiled.

"The False Holy Grail is a message, a piece of information, a spell that triggers nightmares when it is spoken. ”

He was in control.

"Arthur, you should have felt that way, right? There's an invisible wall that limits our perception, and those who know what's behind the wall are all weirdly dead, and there's nothing left to know. ”

Lorenzo turned his attention to Arthur, and the perfect trick needed to be mixed with real intel and an actor to work with him.

Arthur nodded stiffly, he didn't know what was going to happen next.
