Chapter 20: Nightfall
In the dead of night, it was a good time, and the hustle and bustle outside the window gradually disappeared, leaving only the monotonous silence.
Kestrel was lying on the soft bed, and he had just finished taking a shower, and he felt like he was fragrant.
The dimly lit room was lit up by the soft moonlight, obviously he was very sleepy before, but Kestrel couldn't sleep, he turned over and looked at the other bed, where Haybold was lying, but he was in the darkest part of the room, even the moonlight could not reflect it, and Kestrel did not know if he was asleep or not.
Now that he has calmed down, Kestrel realizes that this work is actually not so bad, he is just an auxiliary work, and more specifically, he is responsible for assessing Eve, and Haybold is responsible for the detailed information of the work, and the real execution is only Lorenzo alone from beginning to end.
In other words, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, the first one to go up is the invincible Lorenzo Holmos, and it has nothing to do with himself as a mortal.
When I think of this, the kestrel can't help but feel a lot more relaxed, and then think about it, aside from these jobs, this can actually be regarded as a paid tour, you must know that the kestrel has not been to Gaulinalo.
The Kestrel is a native of Ingwig, from an unknown corner, in the lower town of Old Dunling, and by some chance, he was co-opted by the Shrike and became a member of the purification agency, and then developed to the present day, as everyone knows.
Essentially, the kestrel's life is actually quite monotonous, although in the eyes of others, serving a secret agency is a cool thing, but when cool things become daily work, then there is nothing special.
Sometimes kestrel will also feel that life is a gloom, every day to get up early and greedy for darkness is to cut demons and prepare to cut demons, the mortality rate of this job is still ridiculously high, although the treatment is not bad, but this money is also somewhat terrifying.
However, Kestrel is also a person who is easily satisfied, or he is easy to have fun for himself and pass the time of boredom, and he is simply optimistic.
It is probably this mentality that has helped Kestrel survive one disaster after another.
The kestrel opened its eyes tiredly.
Can't sleep.
He crawled to the edge of the bed, opened his luggage, took out some books from it, and turned on the lamp, which was not very bright, and if it woke Hybod, the kestrel would feel a little embarrassed.
He sat up, picked up a book, opened it along the bookmark, and resumed his previous reading.
"The Saker at Night", a book of knights secretly circulated in the Old Dunling.
The kestrel had vaguely heard of this kind of circulation, because it was not recognized by the public, so it was only secretly spread in some channels, quite a secret assembly, and the first time the kestrel came into contact with it, it was when it visited the shrike, and the kestrel found that someone had recently set up a printing house in the lower city, and it was printing these things.
It may have something to do with his code name "Kestrels", and he was quite interested in this book, so he took a few copies back to read them to pass the time.
The story is also quite interesting, about the villains in the city, and when night falls, the protagonist will come out in a mask, punish the evil and promote the good, no one knows who he is, but his deeds are sought after, and everyone wants to marry him......
It's strange that kestrel actually resonates with this kind of story, after all, if you think about it, what the purifier does is probably what the story says, but it is a little less romantic, more cruel and realistic.
"What are you looking at?"
The sound sounded, startling the kestrels.
At some point, Hybod had woken up, and he looked at the kestrel and wondered what the guy was watching without sleeping.
That's it...... Woke you up?"
Kestrel closed the book and asked.
"No, I can't sleep. ”
Haybold said and stood up, stepping aside to grab a glass of water.
The pajamas here are small for him, standing by the window and gazing at the end of the sea level.
"I'm wondering why Erin was hunted down by the Iron Law Bureau, they were originally in a gang, could it be that there was some kind of civil unrest?"
"Erin Adler. ”
The kestrel whispered the name, and before going to bed, Lorenzo finally found the file he had thrown under the sofa, and the kestrel knew the ins and outs of everything.
"What kind of person is she?"
"What kind of people?"
Hybold looked at Kestrel with some curiosity, unsure of how he had suddenly become interested in Irene.
"Yes, in your words, Ivar is a guy with a strange temperament, and even his brother is difficult to get close to him, so what kind of magic does Erin have, even Ivar can easily conquer, and even say that the design made him capture. ”
Kestrel is very curious, and it can be said that the biggest suspicion in the whole incident is this woman named Erin Adler, who drives the whole incident.
One of the reasons why the Vikings didn't protect Ivar was that they didn't expect this woman to approach Ivar so easily to achieve all this.
"A very special woman, you haven't met her, if you can meet her, you can understand...... She has an indescribable magic. ”
Haybold didn't know how to describe the woman, his expression was complicated, and it seemed that Erin had also left him with unforgettable memories.
"That doesn't sound like a nice guy. ”
Kestrel felt a little scared, speaking of which he had lived so much, Kestrel had never been in love, after all, he belonged to the purification agency, but he had no channels to contact women of the same age, and he went back to female colleagues at work......
A colleague of flowing water, an iron kestrel beaten.
The kestrel was a little overwhelmed.
"Indeed, a bad guy, a guy who is difficult to control, it may be because of Irene's uncontrollability that the Iron Law Bureau began to hunt her down. ”
Hybold speculated that this was common, that Erin had too many secret secrets in her head, and that it was good for everyone that she was dead.
"Just like Lorenzo. ”
Hearing Hybod's assessment, Kestrel couldn't help but think of Lorenzo, who slept next door.
"Lorenzo Holmos?"
This time, it was Hybord who had doubts.
"What do you know about him, and I'm curious why both the Purifier and North Dero have such a high regard for him, and why he behaves so badly......
The operation was urgent, and there was not much time for Haybode to pick his man, and with the fact that he needed Invig's support, he had no choice.
Hybode thought that he would follow an elite team, but when he actually set off, Lorenzo was actually the only one, and the rest of the Kestrel and Eve were only here for the internship assessment.
"Like you, I'm not going to describe him," Kestrel felt a little headache, "he's like a bear kid sometimes, yes!
"Bear child?"
Hybade's expression was even more puzzled.
"It's the kind of, very troublesome bear child, what's worse is that this bear child still has the ability to easily kill everyone, sometimes he will listen to the big truths you say, but more often he just humbly accepts death without repentance, and the most helpless thing is that he sometimes makes a lot of obvious mistakes...... And he himself knows that it is wrong, but like a stubborn donkey. ”
"For example?"
"It's in line with his personality and ideas, but objectively it's wrong. ”
Like the fall of Reichenbach.
Lorenzo could have escaped, but in the end he chose to use it as a battlefield, risking all his enemies to kill all his enemies, he didn't think about what the consequences would be, he only cared about the present in front of him.
"Comparatively, he is even more tricky than Irene, after all, no matter what Erin says, he can't be beaten by him, he is the ceiling of our combat power. Kestrel said.
"The power of the witcher? I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it yet. ”
This part of Lorenzo's origins is still known to Haybord.
"Have you ever seen a demon?" asked Kestrels.
"Yes, this kind of thing is found all over the world, and we are no exception in the Viking States, but unlike you in Ingwig and the Holy Gospel Papal States, we do not have a complete system of confrontation. ”
Because of the erosive nature, the study of demons is a technical task, and in some less powerful countries, it is very difficult to fight against demons, which is one of the main reasons why the Evangelical Church was able to control the nations hundreds of years ago, and they have a very complete power to fight against demons.
"Then you can understand him as a demon who specializes in slashing demons. ”
Kestrel added.
Hybod was stunned, this description was more detailed than that of the bear child, but it also made him feel a little uneasy.
"All in all, it's not going to be a smooth journey, and don't be too surprised when you have the chance to witness Lorenzo's abilities. ”
Kestrel lowered her head as she spoke, and continued to read the book.
There was something strange in the silence, and after a while, the kestrel looked up a little stiffly, and saw that Haybold was still standing by the window, but this time his eyes fell on the kestrel.
The kestrel was stared at by this gaze, and only felt a little uncomfortable, and it was very uncomfortable.
"How...... What's wrong?"
"I can't sleep either, those guys from the Iron Law Bureau are in trouble. ”
Haybold said, then reaching out and gesturing to the book that Kestrel was reading.
"Can you give me a copy?"
......
There are not enough rooms, or the wrong room, so that men and women can live together, which is used in many story plots, so that shy men and women have the opportunity to get closer to each other, and maybe they can directly pull to the marriage hall and so on.
Of course, this time the reason is definitely not those things that have been used by the predecessors, in the words of Haybode, this operation has already appeared the tricky existence of the Iron Law Bureau, so don't disperse.
If you sleep alone, you may die in your sleep, but sleeping with four people is a bit too crowded, although Lorenzo and Kestrel both said that they can sleep on the sofa and bathtub, but the atmosphere is not quite right.
In order not to be inexplicably assigned to some strange job again, Kestrel resolutely chose to sleep in the same room with Hybod, and the honor of sharing a room with the lady was given to Lorenzo, and when he said this, he deliberately showed a reluctant look at Lorenzo.
Sluts.
Lorenzo wanted to scold the kestrel like that.
"What are you doing, Lorenzo?"
Eve leaned against the head of the bed and looked at Lorenzo with a puzzled expression.
I saw Lorenzo make a vague human figure out of the quilt on the bed, and then he walked to the bathroom with a pillow in his pajamas.
"Go to sleep. ”
Lorenzo stood in the doorway and replied.
To put it in Lorenzo's way, even if someone rushes in and shoots at the bed, then the first thing they kill is the disguise made by Eve and himself, and then Lorenzo will shine from the bathroom and kill all the enemies.
"You're making me look like a man-eating monster. ”
Eve smiled uncharacteristically and reached out and patted the bed.
She was suddenly curious, curious about how Lorenzo would react to teasing him like this.
The smile made Lorenzo tremble, but soon Lorenzo had a countermeasure, he first lowered his head and hid his face in the shadows, and after a while he poked his face out of the shadows.
The detective made a shy look, and his expression of excessive force looked disgusting, and then he, holding the pillow with one hand and the door frame with the other, said in an unreachable cheap voice.
"The girl can't help it. ”
Eve was stunned for a moment, then covered her eyes, it seemed that she was really disgusted by Lorenzo, and coughed vigorously several times, as if she had choked.
"Cut, play disgusting, who wouldn't. ”
Lorenzo looked like he had won a big victory, this kind of confrontation is about who broke the merit first, and compared to Lorenzo, a somewhat shameless bastard, Eve still can't let go.
"I don't know sometimes whether to admire you or spit on you, Lorenzo. ”
The damn expression still echoed in her mind even when she closed her eyes, and Eve suspected she was going to have a nightmare tonight.
"Suggest admiration for me. ”
Lorenzo made a timely suggestion.
"Have you always been like this?"
Eve has always believed that there are many factors that affect a person's character, and you can infer his past by referring to the parts of his performance, but this is the first time she's seen a guy like Lorenzo, and it's even more impossible to speculate backwards, his damn personality leads to a world that is severely fractured.
"Yes, life is already bad, people have to have some fun for themselves. ”
Lorenzo twisted his waist and touched his thighs as he spoke, pretending to be sexy, and under the pretense of being sexy, it was the clear leg hair.
No, Eve can't stand it anymore, Lorenzo is so disgusting.
"Tsk, young man. ”
Lorenzo said disdainfully.
Looking at Eve, who couldn't parry so quickly, Lorenzo felt extremely bored, thinking that it was a chess opponent, but it turned out to be just a rookie passerby.
"Sleep, Eve, we're not traveling, we're working. Lorenzo said.
"Wouldn't it be awkward to sleep in the bath?" Eve asked about something else.
"That's for Arthur, this bastard is really a nuisance," Lorenzo cursed, "and if he knew about the situation, he would have found a way to punch me." ”
"Didn't they kill you? I've heard them say that a lot. ”
As a second-generation official, Eve is quite clear about her position in the purification agency.
"He's got the reality in mind, and it's better to give me a punch than to kill me. ”
Lorenzo was pleased with Arthur's pragmatism, but then he remembered something else and looked at Eve.
"By the way, how did you convince Arthur?"
Eve said that probation is farting, if Arthur could be so easily influenced, Lorenzo would have been able to fool him into a limp a long time ago, something must have happened, something Lorenzo didn't know.
He was too curious.
