Chapter 90: The Blood of Steel

The crowd was bustling, like a flock of migrating penguins, crowded, the sound echoing under the empty curved dome), and every subtle sound was amplified in the constant echo, and the chaos of whispers seemed a little noisy, as if they were talking in your ear.

If you look up, you can see the historic clock, the ticking sound, the gears snap and rotate each other, slowly pushing time, the steel cantilever unfolds under the dome behind it like the skeleton of the building, the steam train slowly enters the station along the tracks, and you will see the mist rising with the whistle like the breath of the steel giant.

The old Dunling Central Station, one of the city's key hubs, is run by railroad tracks that stretch across the land of Invig, where you can travel anywhere in Invig.

"I still don't think it's a good trip. ”

"It's okay, just accompany me to draw inspiration. ”

In the crowd, someone spoke.

Lorenzo dragged Seleucus through the crowd, and during the short trip, they stopped by clothing stores, changed their clothes, and dressed themselves in a more ordinary way...... Of course, Winchester was used to pay the bill, and this thing is as easy to use as a credit card.

Lorenzo hid his piercing gaze with a lit cigarette and brown sunglasses, while Seleu buttoned up a brown newsboy hat and hid his long, pale blonde hair.

Although she knew that Lorenzo had deviated from the action of the purification mechanism at this moment and "hijacked" herself, Seleuc did not feel held hostage at all, and when she robbed the clothing store, she also bought some candy on the way, put it in her pocket, and took one out from time to time.

She looked very laid-back, not caring about what happened next, not caring about the anger that had happened before, as if nothing had happened, like an ordinary girl, waiting on the platform for the train of her own, to travel into the unknown.

"So where are you going next?"

Seleuc asked, the crowd was so crowded that she could only hold Lorenzo tightly to avoid being swept away.

"You'll know. ”

Lorenzo didn't look at her, but at the clock that hung in the lobby of the waiting room. He looked like he was in a hurry.

The inside of the train station is made of glass, and you can see that the sun has set in the west, and the decadent light is gently falling, reflecting in the center of the hall, and the bronze statue shines brightly.

It was a statue of a knight with a sword, seemingly modeled after a real person, and you could see his shadow on his powerful face, and the words about the statue were engraved on the base of the statue.

This is a statue commemorating the glorious war, commemorating the soldiers who died because of Invig, and it stands in the midst of this crowded sea of people, like a reef against the current.

"It's our turn. ”

Lorenzo said suddenly.

Without waiting for Seleu to figure out what was going on, Lorenzo took her hand and walked briskly to the platform.

Now the Purifier must be looking for them all over the world, and it stands to reason that with the degree of control of the Purifier over the old Dunling, Seleu felt that they couldn't even get out of the industrial area, but now they were about to leave the old Dunling, and the so-called pursuers had not yet come.

It seems that there is a big net of Zhang Mou.

There were travelers walking around, and Seleuc thought of something else, maybe the purification mechanism had come, but it was not good, this was the old Dunling Central Railway Station, and the daily flow of people here was extremely huge, once he chose to do it here, not to mention the terrible civilian casualties, and even the secrets of the demons could no longer be kept from the public.

"You're looking more and more like a terrorist. ”

Seleuc whispered.

"I just have my own thoughts and goals...... But it won't be useful to talk to them, Yawei won't understand, neither will Kestrels, and Arthur will kill me before I can even finish speaking. ”

"Do you want to cut it first?"

"I've done it first, but we've got to survive to get back. ”

The voices of the two were relaxed, but they were saying terrible things.

Entertainers play at the edge of the crowd, and a hundred years ago there would have been poets reciting ancient stories.

The steam train slowly entered the station, and the door opened, and some hot water vapor poured out, condensing into small droplets on the girl's hair, and she blushed and chewed sugar.

Lorenzo dropped the cigarette butt and looked at her, his cold face smiling a little.

"You look like a normal kid like that. ”

"What do you mean, eating sugar?"

Lorenzo nodded, and he continued.

"Actually, I think it's really boring for a child like you to pretend to be mature. ”

"So what do you think is the 'maturity' that a child should have?"

"Hmm...... What is your age, what do you do? ”

Lorenzo said seriously.

"It's fun at the age when you should play, study hard at the age when you should study hard, and it's the best maturity to recognize your current situation, there's no need to pretend to be sophisticated, pretend to be deep, that makes me feel like an old monster living in the body of a child. ”

Seleuce lowered her head, and Lorenzo couldn't see her watch.

"Do you want a piece of candy?"

She said suddenly, and then raised her hand, and there was a candy in the white palm of her hand, and the candy paper was colored.

Lorenzo took a prune, then picked up the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing him eat the candy, Seleuc laughed weirdly, and his cunning appearance was like a snow fox stealing food.

"It's poisonous. ”

Lorenzo's face immediately changed, and then a strange smell spread in his mouth, but he didn't do anything superfluous, just stared at Seleuc, as if he couldn't bear the scrutiny of that gaze, and Seleu waved his hand.

"It's just weird candy. ”

Chewing hard, Lorenzo swallowed the strange smell as much as he could, looking at Seleuc's eyes a little strange.

"You actually like this flavor. ”

"No, it's for you, what if you think it's poison and pull out a knife and cut me?"

Seleuc said casually.

Although she still looked angry, under the power of the witchers, let alone escape, even if someone came to save her, she didn't think they could beat Lorenzo, so she had this mischievous idea.

If Lorenzo really thinks it's poison and pulls out his knife and cuts himself, but instead goes along with Seleuc's thoughts, Lorenzo needs her cheese to lure out the damn big rat, so that it can ruin Lorenzo's good deeds, and it can be regarded as revenge that she can only do.

"Poison can't kill a demon hunter, after all, secret blood is the most violent poison. ”

Lorenzo replied lightly, not knowing whether to defend himself or something else.

"You don't think I won't poison you, do you?"

Seleu suddenly asked curiously, his eyes glinting with gold.

Lorenzo was a little difficult to cope with such a Seleuc, he was silent and did not answer, and a whistle sounded, urging the passengers, and he pulled Seleucus to the train quickly.

The girl looked at the figure that was more than a head taller than herself, and paused for a long time, revealing a snickerer that Lorenzo couldn't see.

The situation between the two is a bit delicate, according to normal logic, Seleu and Lorenzo are already in opposition, but the two have an extremely reliable trust in each other.

Lorenzo believed that the damned sugar was not poison, and Seleuc believed that the path of destruction did not require his own sacrifice...... Perhaps.

Everyone is hesitant and confused, and the so-called trust is also in jeopardy, waiting for the moment of breakdown.

But the more this happened, the more Seleuc's smile grew, and there was no title to bind her at the moment.

It's like a heartless final journey, anyway, everything is doomed, it's better to have fun on the road and enjoy the only.

"You also bought a ticket beforehand?"

The carriage is not crowded, everyone has their own seat, and there is a dining car that moves around in the middle.

Seleuc was a little surprised, she thought she would run away with Lorenzo, or use Winchester, to gently get some lucky passenger to give way.

But now it seems that Lorenzo has been prepared for a long time, and this operation was not a whim, but a premeditated one.

"What do you want to eat? It's going to be a long journey. ”

Lorenzo asked.

Seleucus sat beside him, and there was an empty seat across from him, and it looked like there were still passengers who hadn't arrived.

"Can I know where to go?"

Seleuc was curious about the end of this sudden journey.

"North. ”

Lorenzo stretched out his arms to stretch himself.

"But isn't the north a wilderness?"

Seleuc still knew this geographical knowledge, and the north of Invig was an endless wilderness and frozen sea, with no exploited resources, and a harsh living environment, where people were scarce.

"Actually, it wasn't for a long time. ”

Lorenzo thought back to what Merlin had said to him, at that time, in order to ensure the equivalence of value, Lorenzo confessed a lot about the Demon Hunter Order, and out of mutual trust, Merlin also confessed a lot of things about themselves, although most of Lorenzo didn't understand it, and felt like he had been deceived.

"Now Invig's industrial development has reached a bottleneck. ”

He started by saying this.

"It's not a matter of technology that limits development, it's fuel. ”

"Fuel?"

"Yes, the Perpetual Pump has found some highly flammable liquids in the north, viscous black liquids that release far more power than existing fuels. ”

"So more than a decade ago, this group of people started to develop the north, and they dug more of this liquid in the ground, and once there is a breakthrough in technology, it will be the fuel that will change the world, so they have been secretly developing it, and it is only now that it has begun to scale. ”

Lorenzo looked to the far north, and not being able to skip a class related to mechanics should be the biggest regret of his career.

"With scale comes logistical supplies, so in order to prevent others from discovering the anomaly, they have developed a tourist route that takes everyone to see the snow scene in the cold winter. ”

Lorenzo swept a full carriage, and probably the person who made this plan didn't think that there would be so many neurotics who were not afraid of the cold.

"It's a tourist, but it's a logistical supply. ”

Lorenzo said as he shifted his gaze back to the carriage, and as the train slowly moved, the last passengers boarded the train, and the crowd at the end was a little crowded.

"Sounds interesting. ”

Seleuc said.

"Of course. ”

Lorenzo thought back to Merlin's agitated look.

"They call that thing blood. ”

"Blood?"

Lorenzo nodded.

"The blood of industry. ”
