"Honestly, Lorenzo, you're an unexpectedly good person in some ways. ”

In the dark corridors, Shrike taunted Lorenzo.

The detective followed him slowly, pretending not to understand.

The farce ended with Seleucus being left behind, and when Berau realized that Miss Stuart was a part, he called in the guards to watch over her, and showed her around the exhibition, while Lorenzo went with him to see the real exhibits.

"Is that thing contaminated?"

Lorenzo's actions in Endtown roughly understood the origin of the original sin armor, those scholars of the Far East Nine Summers made demons into armor, and from the strange maneuver and strength of Lancelot, who fought with him at the end, the erosion of this thing will not be much worse than that of secret blood.

"Nope. ”

"How is it possible?"

Lorenzo was somewhat surprised, and the former shrike moved on, sounding from the words he was not lying.

"Yes, so this matter is being handled by the Shattered Dome, and our task now is to get this thing to the Perpetual Pump in a few hours. ”

Shrike turned his head, and the candlelight on the wall illuminated his face.

The destination had arrived, and the back door slowly opened, with the sound of dust rubbing against metal, it was a huge warehouse in the deepest part, countless sealed boxes silently stagnated in it, and the guards were fully armed, and in the center there was a quarantine zone, in which the bronze giant knelt on one knee.

"Those monks didn't say the origin of the armor, maybe they don't know, from what we know about Jiuxia, they are very strict about the armor technology. ”

"A piece of armor that was smuggled out?"

Lorenzo walked slowly, the torn armor covered with verdant green moss, the surface of the metal had oxidized, most of the joints were rusted, and there was a huge wound in the mouth, and the steel deck cracked into a huge hollow, and the broken parts were bent inward, as if something had penetrated it.

The moire of the decoration had lost its luster, and now it was like a twisted paw print spreading over the dead body.

"It's not polluted. ”

After a long pause in front of the dead armor, Lorenzo said slowly.

The Witcher has always been absolutely sensitive to demons, but before this armor, Lorenzo felt nothing, just a monotonous nothingness.

"There's no trace of steam technology, and the demon part of it looks like it's long dead. ”

Lorenzo walked around the armor, and at last he had the appearance of a detective, piecing together one trace after another to restore its original appearance.

"I think this should be an armor abandoned on the battlefield, only then can those monks get this thing, just like your scavengers, the logistics troops of Jiuxia did not find this wreckage.

The demon's part had long since died with the fatal blow of the mouth, and the metal part had rotted under the baptism of time, and there was no trace of steam technology, so it could be judged that the year it was made should have been before Jiuxia's visit...... This should have been the armor of a few decades ago. ”

Lorenzo looked over with a slightly cold gaze.

The inside of the armor was a complex mechanical structure, but unlike steam technology, it was a way Lorenzo had never seen it before, and it needed more energy than the power of a steam engine, perhaps...... That's what is called a mechanism.

"So what is the use of this armor in your opinion, it is now just a scrap metal. ”

Lorenzo asked the shrike on the side.

"I'll have to ask the maniacs of Perpetual Pump, but I know something at the moment. ”

Shrike looked a little smug, there were not many opportunities to fiddle with his knowledge in front of this detective.

"There is a formula for the purification of demons, just like you demon hunters rely on to detect demons...... But we are different, the previous vice president of the Mechanical Academy, Geiger discovered the faint spokes on the demons, and made Geiger counters, and also calculated some formulas based on this, such as estimating how long it will take for the demon's pollution to be eliminated in the natural state according to the strength of the spokes. ”

This is the progress of knowledge, and the mysterious belief in the gods of the Demon Hunting Order, the purification of the institutions and the choice to believe in science, it can be said that this is a group of staunch materialists.

"We can check one by one according to the different radiant strengths, and then reverse the armor How long ago was it scrapped, and even say how far the armor technology of Jiuxia has been reversed. ”

The voice of the shrike grew in awe, and what seemed to him to be an ordinary technical reproduction had a strange feeling to say it in front of Lorenzo, like a determined believer meeting a scholar who denied everything.

Lorenzo didn't speak, he had a new glimpse of the technical power of the purifier, and I have to say that it is worthy of the country where the steam engine was developed, and something new appears here every day.

Stretched out his hand and stroked the back of the armor, where the penetrating wound came out, the entire back had been completely exploded, the iron armor was shattered, and it was conceivable that at that time, the knight in the armor was directly shattered into a cloud of mud inside the iron armor.

But Lorenzo still felt that something was not too much, and as he touched the wound, he felt as if he had neglected something.

"Hmm...... Interested in getting me a cigarette?"

Lorenzo took out the cigarette with the ashweed, lit the cigarette butt with a question, closed in contemplation before the armor, and then the infinite light vanished.

Ashweed can trap people in that strange vision, and many people can see a fragment of reality, an inexplicable memory, or a key clue.

But the herbs help but also deepen the connection with the darkness, Lorenzo has fallen very deep, when in the church, the woman's sudden appearance is the best proof of this, Lorenzo has been in the darkness at a depth of time, even if he does not smoke herbs, he will enter a state of vision from time to time.

According to Lorenzo's thoughts, he had already decided to quit smoking for a year, but it had only been a week.

He knew that this would only worsen his condition, but he had a strange idea about this armor, and he had to confirm it.

The shrike voice became blurred, he knew what Lorenzo was doing, but before he could stop it, everything was stretched out by a strange force, and after the endless darkness there was a light coming up, Lorenzo saw that it was a desolate world, he tried to move forward, but his body was heavier than ever, he lowered his head, and the heavy armor was reflected in the clear water.

He entered into the armor and placed it on the battlefield of the past. f
