"An invisible force, it is everywhere, limiting our perception of the world...... I've talked to Merlin about this thing before, and I think I can call it the Border. ”

As Lorenzo spoke, the warm hall became cold, and Arthur sensed a slight uneasiness, as if something strange was coming.

"Think about it, guys, isn't that the case, it's clear that human beings have existed for so long, but we only have a record of recent years, so what were we doing before that, and what were demons doing?"

Lorenzo began his speech.

"Arthur, Your Majesty, you Invig have been fighting demons for so long, but have you ever thought about such a thing, the demons we hunt are essentially monsters demonized by humans, which means that in the past thousand years that we humans have been fighting against demons, we are actually fighting with another group of humans. ”

This is a terrible truth.

"Another group of demonized humans is fighting, and this hatred has lasted for an unknown amount of time, and it is basically just a civil war of the human race. ”

Everything fell silent, except for Lorenzo's voice, which continued to echo.

"Actually, all this is like a plague, except that this plague does not kill humans, but turns humans into monsters called demons, so what is the source of all this? What about [Patient Zero] who caused all this?"

"The Holy Grail. ”

Arthur said in a deep voice, this is the information that Lorenzo had given, and the Evangelical Church has captured the root of the demon, the existence called [Holy Grail].

"No, it's a lie, Lorenzo Medici's lie," Lorenzo vetoed, "we have all been deceived by him, and we still don't know the source of it all, and the so-called [Holy Grail] is just another monster that is even more terrible." ”

"As for the false chalice......

Forgive me, Arthur, and Your Majesty, and forgive me for explaining all this in such a veiled way, and you should also be aware that erosion is memetic, and it can be transmitted through all the media that can carry the 'message', and perhaps when I say all this, you will be eroded by the message of my words. ”

Arthur's expression became gloomy, he realized the difficulty of the matter, sure enough, this kind of thing could not be carried out so rashly, and this was the Platinum Palace, and Queen Victoria was not far in front of Lorenzo.

"Let's stop here for today!"

Arthur suggested, he was alert that if Lorenzo's words were true, and if this information triggered erosion, inexplicable terror would befall the Platinum Palace directly.

"No, go on, Mr. Holmos. ”

The queen still had that peaceful smile, as if nothing could shake her heart.

"But ......"

Arthur tried to explain the underlying crisis, but then the queen interrupted him.

"The purification mechanism was directly appointed by the Victorian royal family, I know better than you how terrible demons are, don't worry about me. ”

Seeing that the queen was so persistent, Arthur couldn't say anything more, and Lorenzo continued.

"The Evangelical Church has used the Holy Grail to develop the False Holy Grail, no...... To be precise, I learned about the False Grail, and the False Grail is essentially a piece of information about the Border, and the name is just a misleading way to cover people's ears.

Regarding the border, we can roughly understand it as an early warning system. ”

"Early warning system?"

"That's right, once someone has too deep a knowledge of demons and understands the parts that have been deliberately hidden, it seems to trigger this warning, those hidden monsters...... You can think of it as the Holy Grail, and the monsters that are tentatively called the Holy Grail will eradicate those who know and annihilate with all the information. ”

As Lorenzo spoke, Arthur fell silent again, his eyes trembling slightly, and the memories of the past were brought back at this time because of Lorenzo's narration.

"Red News Incident ......"

"What did you say?"

Lorenzo asked with some curiosity as he heard Arthur whisper.

"Red News Incident, more than ten years ago, there was a demon invasion in the Perpetual Motion Pump, we don't know where the demons came from, in short, they appeared underground out of thin air, destroying everything at that time. They referred to the incident as a red message, and the investigation into the incident has since made no progress. ”

Arthur thought back to the event that had devastated the purifier, and felt an endless chill in his body as if he had returned to that time again.

"As you described, there is no information left, and all the parties involved are in a frenzy due to erosion, and no matter how hard we try, all we have is a blank slate.

But ......"

Arthur shifted his words and looked at Lorenzo who was standing up.

"Lorenzo, this is what I'm going to investigate next, so I might as well tell you about it now.

During the local war in the Black Mountain Hospital, the Knight Chief Mordred briefly woke up, and he was a first-hand witness of the Red News Incident, saying that during his erosion, it was like being trapped in a ...... [gap]. ”

Lorenzo listened carefully to Arthur's words, he just wanted to use the existing information to weave a lie that would convince the purifiers, but he could not have imagined that he would actually deceive more information.

"Go on. He said.

"Perhaps, all the people who have been eroded, their consciousness is trapped in the [gap], of course, this is not the point of discussion, the point is, through him, I finally know what was going on inside the Perpetual Motion Pump during the Red News Incident. ”

Arthur's gaze then turned to the queen at the other end of the table, who had always looked so calm, as if everything was under control.

"The last Merlin, William, secretly conducted some kind of experiment, and through Mordred's intelligence, William said that he had found [the truth]. ”

Everything fell silent, and Lorenzo's expression gradually became solemn, he knew very well the importance of the word "truth", which is what all alchemists pursue all their lives, for which they can sacrifice everything in their lives.

This was followed by the outbreak of the Red News Incident...... Wait, how like, Lorenzo, how much it all likes......"

Arthur looked at Lorenzo as if he remembered something, and the message in his eyes also aroused Lorenzo's thoughts, he opened his mouth slightly, and said in a ghostly manner.

"The night of the Holy Arrival. ”

They are so similar that some kind of research into the unknown is carried out, and then the catastrophe breaks out, and all those who know are killed, burying the secret forever.

"And that's what I'm saying, Arthur, the False Grail is information about the causes of these things, and once we know that crossing the Border, it can lead to disaster, as was the case with the Red Message, and it was also the case with the Night of Adventing. ”

Lorenzo's voice trembled a little, and the contents of Shermans's notes were confirmed, as he said, there are always people who are better than himself, and he can find these things, why can't those people?

In fact, they did, but they all died because of the Silencer.

How long has this been going on, and how long has this force called Boundary limited human cognition.

Lorenzo suddenly didn't dare to think about it, the Silencers were like trying to do something, if they were conscious, what secrets were they guarding, and......

What is the connection between Gabriel and them?

"Is that so...... It seems that we need to be cautious in our future research, but it is not clear to the Protestant Order that it is not what weapons it has been chasing, but this hidden information?" Arthur asked.

"It's natural, like I said, those in the know are dead...... I have a note to prove this, which I will give to you later, but be careful, the power of the Boundary is like a sword hanging over our heads, and it will fall at any time...... They regulate everyone. ”

Lorenzo let out a long sigh and sat down a little tired.

He didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this, it did cover Watson's existence, but at the same time, he was also worried that even if Arthur knew this information, no one knew where the bottom line of the [Boundary] was, and maybe a certain study of demons would lead to those nightmares again.

No...... And that's not all.

Lorenzo suddenly felt a winter-like chill, as long as the [Border] still exists, humanity is destined to not be able to understand the full picture of the demons in order to find the root of this epidemic, again, this is a dead end, the closer they get to the truth, the closer they are to death.

It's a perfect protection to keep the root cause out of the world's knowledge.

Why?

Why is the world so distorted?

Lorenzo thought as he looked at the end of the table, but it was a scene that struck him even more.

There were no monsters, no strange images, and Queen Victoria still sat quietly, listening to the conversation between Lorenzo and Arthur.

This is a terrible fact about the borders, and perhaps from this information, we can learn the root of many of the unsolved mysteries of history, the countries that suddenly disappeared, and the groups that died suddenly......

This information was enough to drive many people crazy, even if Lorenzo already knew about it, but when he looked back again, he would be terrified by this cursed nature, let alone Arthur, who had just learned about it.

They were all trembling at the unknown in front of them, but Queen Victoria was different, she still had that kind smile, calm look, as if all this Lorenzo said could not touch her heart, all this was no different from ordinary information to her.

Like a grim sculpture, Lorenzo at first thought that she might be trying to maintain her dignity as a queen and curb her emotions, but this was not the case, Lorenzo could feel that she had no emotional fluctuations at all, as if she was ...... It's as if she knew it was all like this.

Queen Victoria was also aware of the existence of the Border.

Yes, it makes sense, after all, the purification mechanism was established by them, and due to the strange nature of the [Silencer], she deliberately concealed this information, and there was a corresponding reason.

The Silencers are so strange that when you become aware of their presence, they will also be aware of your presence, and Lorenzo is sure that he has been exposed to the Silencers' vision, and even said that he has been attacked by them, but due to various factors, he is unaware of it.

What's going on with all this?

Thoughts raced through his mind, but on the surface, Lorenzo still had the slightly shocked look he had just had, and he hid it well, perfectly.

One by one, the information is integrated, and the mystery of Invig is close at hand.

"Then I'm done explaining, Your Majesty, and accordingly, I have a lot of questions for you. ”

Calling out to his majesty, Lorenzo's words were unceremonious, and he looked at the queen at the end of the long table, and about these events, they were recalled in his mind one by one.

"What do you want to ask? Mr. Holmos. ”

The Queen's voice was calm.

"As for the royal mantra, what exactly is it and where does it come from. ”

Lorenzo's expression was serious, the secret blood was stirring in his body, and he suddenly had a new idea, he wanted to do it, but he didn't know what it would trigger.

The atmosphere fell silent again, Arthur didn't know much more about the royal curse than Lorenzo, after all, it was a bad disease of the royal family, and it was about the rule of royal power.

The Queen's silence didn't last long, she still had that damn smile.

"The King's Curse.

It's going to be a long story, and it's a very secret story, and if I could, I hope this secret will be buried forever in the Platinum Palace......"

Lorenzo tensed slightly, and he could read the threat in it.

"But now is not the past, now is a new era, the roar of machinery, human civilization is striding forward, these decaying relics should also be discarded and forgotten. ”

The queen raised her hand again, looking at her pale skin, the veins beneath it covered the flesh like a crimson cobweb.

"It's a blessing and a curse. ”

She let out a cheerful laugh.

"Mr. Lorenzo Holmos, have you ever wondered how Invig came to prominence?"

Lorenzo was stunned, he knew this kind of thing very well, many people knew very well, this kind of thing was written in the history books, and it was not a problem at all, but after being stunned, Lorenzo realized something.

History is written by the victors, and under a history that can be revealed to all must hide another history in the shadow.

What is hidden in the shadow of Invig?

"It's a ...... It's a bit of a complicated story, but fortunately I have a lot of time today, and it's just us. ”

The queen continued.

"You know? Actually, the Victorian family is an alchemy family, of course, this was a long time ago. ”

For a moment all breathing stopped, not just Lorenzo, but Arthur.

"Also, a long, long time ago, the alchemists were not as you know, fighting each other, chasing the truth, and we had a strong enough community at first, but sadly, it has since split.

And this is the story of the original alchemists, about ......

The story of the Golden Dawn. ”

Broken sunlight pierced through the gloomy clouds and fell into the glorious Platinum Palace, where the three of them were in a glow under the reflection of gold.
