Chapter 12: Unsolvable Problems

121A Cork Street, Winchester Office.

It's been almost a week since the official opening of the office, and although the door is still a mess, there is already a bit of a corresponding atmosphere here.

Lorenzo woke up early in the morning, still in his familiar outfit, and a row of weapons lay on the wooden table in front of him.

Spike swords, armor-piercing hammers, Winchesters, hook guns, lacquered antimony throwing knives, and all sorts of ammunition are all weapons of murder, and they are piled up together, filling the wooden table in front of them.

But this time Lorenzo didn't have to go to great lengths to hide them one by one under his clothes, to be honest, it was really uncomfortable, in order to cooperate with these, Lorenzo had also customized a weapon belt for himself before, which could be hung full of weapons under his coat, but even so, when he ran, he was still panicked by these sharp weapons.

This time, however, he picked up a heavy wooden cello case, the cello inside had been thrown aside, and the vacant space inside the case had been modified by Lorenzo into an ingenious weapon rack.

He stuffed the weapons on the table into it one by one, and with the crisp sound of metal, they were neatly lined up, and as the case closed, no one knew that there were so many dangerous items hidden inside.

Lorenzo doesn't know how to play the piano, he doesn't have much musical talent, the only thing he has to do with music is that he likes to hum weird songs, and he always hums out of tune.

This is the identity that Arthur gave him, and presumably this is the "official" convenience, this time Lorenzo will play the role of a musician who plays the cello, and in this capacity he will travel to Gaulinaro with an orchestra.

With the assistance of the authorities, a series of documents are being placed on the other side, and no matter who comes to check them, they cannot find any suspicious points...... Because it's true.

Carrying the case on his back, Lorenzo has the confidence to play the identity of this musician, but he also has a fatal flaw, that is, this case, after loading so many weapons, it seems too heavy, I am afraid that only Lorenzo, who has secret blood, can carry it at will.

However, with the help of North Delo, their shipping lanes are all over the Western world, and this time Lorenzo's operation will be on North Delo's ships, and the road will be extremely smooth, no one will check Lorenzo, and no one will be aware of Lorenzo's existence, and he will not have to worry about these miscellaneous things until he reaches Gaulnalo.

Thinking of this, Lorenzo couldn't help but feel a little relieved, it felt good to have two behemoths to protect him, in Lorenzo's imagination he didn't even need any plans and tricks, all he had to do was to find where Ivar was, and then kill him, and then find a way to bring him back to Invig.

It sounds difficult, but with Lorenzo's mobility, it's all too simple.

Humans are far more fragile than demons, and Lorenzo didn't even feel the need to use secret blood for this operation.

Walking downstairs, Arthur was already waiting here, and since Lorenzo's atrocities at the Platinum Palace, this guy hadn't given Lorenzo a good look.

"Why, are you going to send me off personally?" asked Lorenzo.

It may be the attribute of a rotten person, but there is a kind of mockery in what he says, and Arthur's expression is even more gloomy.

"Didn't you call me?" asked Arthur rhetorically.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Lorenzo suddenly remembered.

Lorenzo's itinerary has already been arranged, starting with a train from Old Dunling to the port of Rendona, from where he will take a ship from Nord Dro to Gaul-Nalo, and today is his last day in Old Dunling.

"Yes, yes, you wait a minute!"

Lorenzo had almost forgotten about it, he put the case aside and rummaged through a pile of clothes that were starting to get sour, and finally found a modest notebook.

"This is a note from Shermans...... To be precise, the Borgia family's notes, and here are the most detailed speculations about what I call the Boundary. ”

Lorenzo had wanted to give it to Merlin personally, but he never had time to see Lorenzo because Merlin was busy experimenting with his predecessor, William.

Perpetual Pump restarted their research into the Red Message, and they tried to get William to his senses so that he could determine what had happened during the Red Message.

"But, Arthur, there are a few pages that I've torn off. ”

Arthur took the note, but then Lorenzo added.

"What do you mean?"

Arthur didn't understand why Lorenzo did this.

"Remember what I said, regarding the nature of [the border], I suspect it's an early warning system, and once someone's perception crosses that limit, it's going to be hit...... Like the Night of Presence, the Demon Hunters are powerless to withstand the blow, and neither can you cleanse the traps. ”

Lorenzo's mind grew sad, and he began to realize that Boundaries was an unsolvable problem for humanity.

"Once the [boundary] is rashly crossed, it is possible to completely eliminate the organ this time...... No, the whole of Old Dunling could be plunged into a hell of erosion.

Until we have enough strength to understand, let me keep this forbidden knowledge first. ”

Arthur looked at Lorenzo, he didn't think Lorenzo would be so kind, but it was possible, after all, they were all on the same side of the demon now, but in this case, Lorenzo, who knew that knowledge, would undoubtedly increase his importance to the purification mechanism.

For a moment, Arthur couldn't tell if it was Lorenzo's trick or if he really did.

"It's an unsolvable question, Lorenzo, if I want to avoid the blow of the [Border], I have to understand what the [Border] is, what the demons are, but in the process of understanding, we may die...... It's like what you described as 'dark' at the time.

Each of us is in endless darkness, and as soon as we get close to the taboo, we will be ablaze, and this fire will shine on our fellow citizens in the darkness, and it will also allow the monsters that lurk in the darkness to discover us. ”

"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. ”

Arthur said slowly, accompanied by a cold chill.

The two looked at each other briefly, and they both read the fear of [Boundary] in each other's eyes.

Yes, this is an unsolvable puzzle, and when one tries to observe the Border, the Silencer will appear out of thin air and destroy all observers, a perfect measure of secrecy that hides all the truth behind this veil.

This is cursed knowledge, with the nature of "those who know must die", and from what Lorenzo knows, those who know are basically dead, and now he and Watson seem to be the only survivors.

It stands to reason that he should have been pursued endlessly by the Silencers, but it was as if something had happened that prevented him from being chased by them for the time being.

Is that you?

Lorenzo had a strange thought for a moment, he looked down at his palm, and could vaguely see the iron-blue veins under the skin, and the secret blood was rushing in them.

Gabriel.

Is this a kind of sublimation, or is it a kind of qualification...... What about a qualification that can understand the Boundary?

Lorenzo's thoughts were interrupted by the crisp sound of the doorbell, and someone pushed open the door of the office, and in the morning light another group of people could be seen to see off the passers-by.

"Anyway, that's it, Arthur, whatever you have to do, at least wait until I get back, I've experienced a Coming, and I can confidently say that I'm the only expert on Borderlines in this world. ”

Lorenzo smiled at Arthur, who once again picked up the heavy case and headed out the door.

"The shrike will be waiting for you at the train station, and he will inform you of the next move. ”

Arthur said, and Lorenzo waved at him to signal that he had heard, and then a key flew over, accompanied by Lorenzo's words.

"Help me lock the door. ”

......

"Good morning, guys, it looks like we won't see each other for a while, and I hope you don't miss me too much!"

As soon as he got into the carriage, Lorenzo began to talk bad things, and as one of Lorenzo's middlemen, Oscar and Seleuc sat opposite Lorenzo, and together the two of them represented Nordero.

In fact, it was enough for Oscar to come alone, but at Seleu's insistent request, Oscar still had no choice but to let her participate.

"You're just going to take this one with you?"

Seleuc asked, seeing Lorenzo's case, remembering that Lorenzo didn't know how to play a musical instrument.

"Clothes and everything, it's all in the boat provided by North Dero, I've arranged a special room for Lorenzo, everything he needs, it's there. Oscar explained.

"This time you're playing as a musician and touring with the Royal Orchestra of Invig to Gaulnalo, and of course you're just a minor player on the list, and then you're leaving to do your own thing. ”

Oscar explains various things to Lorenzo.

"For more detailed information, in those documents of yours, you remember to look at it, don't show it. ”

"Don't worry! You know my performance. Lorenzo said confidently.

As soon as he said this, Seleuc suddenly remembered the relationship between Lorenzo and Oscar, and the two of them had known each other from the beginning because of theatrical performances and the like, and it could be said that both of them were cunning foxes, but one was young and the other was old.

"Do we have any potential enemies?"

Lorenzo already knew about these things, and he was now more concerned about who his enemies would be.

As an expert, it is in line with the style of an expert to make different plans for different enemies, but if there is something tricky, Lorenzo doesn't mind activating the secret blood and overturning the table.

"It's not clear, you must know that the foundation of North Dero is Invig, and Gaulna Lo is extremely wary of Invig, our intelligence network is very difficult to develop in Gaul Nalo, but it is certain that this time there must be Gaul Nalo official intervention, maybe you will still fight the regular army. ”

Listening to Oscar's answer, Lorenzo was not surprised, and it was clear from the Queen's words that Gaulnalo mainly wanted to sabotage the alliance between Invig and the Vikings, and perhaps Ivar was being locked up in a military base and tortured.

Lorenzo suddenly felt a little big, and he began to wonder if his armor could withstand the enemy fire head-on.

"Is there anything else to pay attention to?" he asked again.

"Nothing else, but the Vikings seem to have some requests, and their people are waiting for you at the train station, and they should explain to you when the time comes, so that's pretty much the end of our work. ”

Thinking of those stubborn Vikings, Oscar felt a little headache, no matter how much he persuaded him, he couldn't persuade him, and Arthur didn't object, let them mess around.

"What's wrong?" asked Lorenzo.

"You'll know when the time comes. ”

Oscar didn't want to mention this, but more often wanted to get Lorenzo and see how his expression would be when the time came.

The things that should be talked about and what should not be talked about have been discussed, and the atmosphere in the carriage was silent for a while.

"So, do you want me to jump out of the car now to make room for you?"

In the long silence, Oscar looked at Seleuc, then at Lorenzo and asked.

"Yes. ”

Rarely, Seleucus answered in a serious manner.

"Wait, I'm just talking, do you know how to respect the old and love the young?"

Oscar looked at Seleuc's eager look and hurriedly said, he jumped from the car with this body, and most of them had to lie in the hospital for half a month.

"Shut up then, okay?"

Seleuc said impatiently, and Oscar kept his mouth shut.

Lorenzo watched all this from the sidelines, his expression a little subtle.

He's not a fool, Lorenzo is a cunning guy, and he knows some things well, but it's hard to respond, so he has to pretend to be a fool.

In fact, Lorenzo has always wanted to avoid all this, not that he hates Seleuc, but he knows very well what he will face, he doesn't expect any ordinary life, he just hopes that he can die with some value, this is the end of his life, not in a warm and comfortable bed, under the gaze of his heirs.

But there will always be people who will look forward to themselves, and Lorenzo does not dare to return to this expectation.

"Will you come back alive?" asked Seleuc seriously.

"It's just a commission, and I'm not going to assassinate some high-ranking official in Gaulnalo, how can I make it look like I'm going to never return?"

Lorenzo likes to talk badly, and likewise, he likes to talk badly when he's nervous, and he likes to cover himself up in this way, which usually deceives many people, but the girl in front of him is obviously an exception.

"No...... I just felt a little uneasy. ”

Seleucus felt a little pressure, and after receiving the knighthood, countless messages passed into her brain, coupled with the deal with North Dero, Seleucus faintly felt the change of the world, it was like a roaring train, and the railroad tracks not far ahead had long been broken.

She always felt that Lorenzo's action would bring some irreparable consequences, and she wanted to dissuade Lorenzo, but seeing his appearance of being a man again, Seleuc couldn't say it.

Lorenzo was very happy, he had his own firm, and he had his first case, he was like a normal person, this cold guy even loved life.

"Well, how is it possible? The wind and waves have come, and you still care about this? Moreover, the firm has finally been opened, and the great Mr. Holmos has just taken on the first case, and the great Monsieur Holmos has just folded in Gaulinalo?"

Lorenzo began to run the train with his mouth full.

"In short, good people don't live long, and bad people live for a thousand years, right?"

Faced with Lorenzo's strange words, Seleu was suddenly stunned, and then showed a smile that he couldn't hold back.
