"Rat King?"

Shrike apparently didn't expect Lorenzo to ask this, and after a brief moment of consternation, he said.

"Why did you mention him?"

Both of them have been messing around in the lower city for a long time, and this ghost place has too many secrets to be annoying, and the Rat King is one of them.

The head of the newspaper in Xiacheng District, the eyeliner is very widespread, although it is said that the service scope is in Xiacheng, but he also knows about the newspapers outside Xiacheng.

"Because of those stowaways, you don't have the spare strength to take care of the organs, so I have to do it. Lorenzo's words were sarcastic, "They went to the newspaper dealers of the bad rats, I don't know what they were asking about, anyway, they were going to kill people afterwards, but I was there at the time, and they died several times." ”

Shrike was a little surprised by the sudden unfolding of the story, but come to think of it, Lorenzo's mobility has always been like this, and when he asks you if you should kill someone, he probably has already killed someone and buried him by the way.

"You're not on the track, are you. Lorenzo's progress on the case was faster than Shrike could have imagined.

"I'm from Fei Lengcui, so I have to take care of my fellow countrymen. ”

Lorenzo's words are not very intimate.

"So what did you find?"

"They weren't ordinary stowaways, they must have been plotting something, and one of them escaped during my pursuit...... I almost caught him, to be exact, but I was hit by the sudden appearance of the carriage. ”

Lorenzo's hand swept through the air, hiding to the shrike how he had made a brief free fall.

"The carriage took him away at such a fast speed that I could not catch up with him, and then I was caught by the mounted police for disturbing the order. ”

Hearing this, Beraue Yile didn't expect Lorenzo to also have a time when he was deflated.

"I thought you'd kill those Mounties and keep chasing...... Although you have lost him. ”

Lorenzo looked helpless.

"Shrike, as you said, there are always rules to follow in the midst of a human race, and I'm not a madman, and fighting the Mounties will only make things worse. ”

Lorenzo remembered Pree, "Everyone comes out to eat, and it's always a little inexplicable to lose your life for no reason, or get beaten, right?"

People have two sides, and if everyone shows what he is, then the world must be much more peaceful. ”

Lorenzo teased.

"It's not like you can say it, you have ...... Empathy?"

In the eyes of Beroe, Lorenzo is a monster in human skin, although he is well disguised, but everyone knows that his greatest good is to cut demons, bathed in the anger of revenge, he can be truly alive.

Lorenzo shook his head and said with some disdain.

"That's the complexity of people, isn't it? I'm a murderer, but what does that have to do with the fact that I'm a philanthropist who sponsors orphans?"

Arthur is the head of the violent agency, a cold-blooded demon, but when it comes to his daughter's life, this demon is still fragile, no different from a mortal, but in this case, can you say that he is no longer vicious?

Shrike was stunned, perhaps caused by Lorenzo's words.

"It looks like coming back from the dead has changed you a lot. ”

"People are always changing. Lorenzo replied.

"Why, when you were a child, did that naïve kid ever think that he would become a gang boss in the future?

Lorenzo's words were full of contempt, and he continued.

"Let's go back to this case, there must be something wrong with those stowaways, after all, the stowaways won't ask the bad rat report, and they won't have weapons to kill people, and there will be no hellish carriage to pick them up. ”

The thought of the carriage Lorenzo was ridiculously angry.

"So Shrike, have you ever wondered if those stowaways could be the forces that have crept in?" asked Lorenzo, "don't you have such suspicions? Perhaps they are part of the split church, the followers of the new pope? ”

Shrike's face was solemn.

"Are you sure?"

"Just suspicious, after all, I didn't catch him. Lorenzo continued, "Maybe the Rat King knows something. ”

Shrike was silent, the question was indeed worth pondering, but looking at Lorenzo's appearance, it seemed that he was willing to move forward and solve this problem.

"I'll report this to Arthur, as for the Rat King...... The Rat King is weird. He said.

No one has ever seen the Rat King, and his existence is limited to people's word of mouth, just like a story of nothingness, but it is such an existence that makes the newspaper merchants awe, as if he really exists, and the story of the Rat King is revealed in his words.

"I've been in Downtown for so long, and I've only heard of such a man, but I've never actually met him, so surely you're right, Lorenzo. ”

Shrike said.

"Yes, but it also shows his eccentricity...... Haven't you investigated him in Downtown for so long?" asked Lorenzo.

"What is there to investigate?" sighed the shrike, "do you know how many urban legends there are like this?"

"The lower city is a cauldron of chaos, and people from all over the world have come here and are thrown into the pot to stew," probably after a long time with Lorenzo, and the level of shrike rhetoric has begun to shift towards Lorenzo's bad words, "In order to occupy a seat in the chaos, the members of those gangs will always make up all kinds of weird stories to show their horror, but in fact, on our level, it's just some garbage shouting, isn't it?"

"The same is true of the story of the Rat King, who seems to us to be just a pretending to be a ghost, and there are too many such guys that we can't confirm them one by one, so only those who have the potential to disrupt the order will be taken seriously by us. ”

Lorenzo nodded, what Beroe said is indeed the truth, you don't care how many bugs there are in the shadow of the house, but you will kill all the bugs that dare to appear in the eyes, the rat king is such a bug, he has been silent for too long, knowing that this event will pull him into the vortex.

"Well, it looks like I'm still on my own. ”

Lorenzo looked a little helpless, but then spoke.

"Then the next thing. ”

"What else?" "Shrike was a little annoyed, why did Lorenzo have so many people.

"I need some weapons, my heart's Winchester is far away from me, I need to break those bastards' legs. ”

Lorenzo said viciously that if he had a gun in his hand at the time, the chase would have been a completely different outcome.

"I can still make this little wish come true. ”

Shrike said and threw the death knell out, "You have been pointed at by it a lot, and you must be an old friend." ”

"Are you serious?"

"Just kidding, of course. ”

Shrike put away the revolver, he liked the gun, and it was a complete waste to give Lorenzo to use.

"I'll tell Perpetual Pump to pick you up some new weapons, just wait at home to sign for it. ”

......

Jager lay on it, his face pale, and although he managed to escape from Lorenzo's grasp, his injuries were still a great burden on him.

"Are you sure? ”

A voice came from the side, and the old man was asking.

"I'm sure. ”

Jager said through pain.

"This is the information we got from the bad rats, and it can confirm that there was a battle in the north before, which is consistent with the information we have gotten, and it is basically certain that Lawrence is involved. ”

The old man had a calm face, as a fugitive, their power in the Emerald soil had been basically wiped out, this was the last retribution they had received, and Lawrence with the Book of Revelation appeared in the north of Invig.

However, they did not know what was going on in the north, and after a combination of reports from many parties, they were almost certain that Lawrence was suspected of being at war with the Purifier.

But the result?

Although he was in the old Dunling, the old Dunling was an impenetrable fog to them, and he was in the same city as the behemoth known as the Purification Mechanism, guarding out them and searching for the whereabouts of the Book of Revelation.

The old man didn't know if Lawrence was dead or alive, or how much the Purifier knew now, and if it was a game, they were on the verge of being out.

With a long sigh, he said, "You can recuperate." ”

The old man said and left, at least they still had room in the city.

Pushing open the doors, the old man finally came to a room where the people who had helped them to operate in the old Dunling were waiting for them.

The power of the old man's side has been weakened, but in this desperate situation there are people who are willing to support them, so that they can operate in the old Dunling.

"As Jager said, Duke Salicado, we don't know Lawrence's whereabouts at the moment. ”

The man behind the table looked up, he was not in a hurry, and replied.

"It's fine, as long as things go ahead. ”

The Duke of Salicado, a man of wealth, was an economic tycoon at the top of the pyramid, his family had made a fortune during the Glorious War, and his industries spread across all walks of life, with factories covering almost all of Invig.

No one could have figured out that the Duke of Salicado was among the people who financed the exodus, and no one knew how they had been connected, and Shermans was initially wary of them, as they had little power to speak of, and that their arrest in Old Dunling would be the best gift to Queen Victoria.

But all this was made by Miguel, and Shermans could only obey, but at least in the recent negotiations, the Duke of Salicado gave them enough security, and the two maintained a temporary cooperative relationship.

"This is investment, I invest in you, put all the chips on you, there will always be losses and wins in this kind of thing, but as long as we are the winners in the end, it will be good to make it. ”

Salicado said slowly, reaching out his hand and motioning for Shermans to sit down.

"Thank you for taking care of me. Shermans said cautiously.

"Nothing...... So, here we go?" Salicado asked.

"Of course, anytime, it's just ...... I just didn't expect you to be curious about it, after all, most people are afraid of these things. Shermans shook his head, looking a little distressed.

"That's why I'm not the 'majority,' I'm a very small minority, otherwise my industry wouldn't be as big as it is today. Salicado was proud of this, "People should be curious about new things, even if they are evil spirits that choose to eat people. ”

He said as he reminisced about a terrible night when countless monsters attacked his manor, and steel armor fought through the burning fire.

In his panic, he even saw the Duke of Phoenix, the madman who was able to reach the attack of those monsters.

The scavengers distorted Salicado's memories in the subsequent processing, but strangely enough, Salicado gradually recalled these as time passed, he thought it was a nightmare at first, but as his memories revived and his thoughts were reviewed, he discovered the truth of all this.

He was silent, to get to this position, Salikado was more shrewd than everyone thought, and the scavenger would wash away his memories once, and a second time.

"To be honest, the first time I learned about the existence of 'demons', my world was refreshed. ”

Salicado smiled, "Shehlmans, you are one of the cardinals of the Evangelical Church, you must have felt this way, right, you thought you had reached the top of this society, but suddenly one day you found that there is a deeper world under the bustling surface. ”

He had thought that he was already the highest man in Invig, that Salikado was in control of the economy, and that he could meet the queen at any time, but that night he realized that he was still one of the mortals, separated from the otherworld.

"But people usually avoid the deeper world. Shermans said.

"I'm full of curiosity about demons. "Just like the steam engine, it first appeared as a war machine, but now it is an indispensable thing for the whole society, perhaps...... Maybe the same is true of demons?"

Shermans was silent and didn't say anything, after so many days together, Salicado had a strong personal color, he didn't believe in gods or ghosts, he was just a pure businessman, and he was willing to invest in even terrifying things like demons.

The old man didn't know what he wanted, maybe he had stayed in Fei Lengcui for a long time, and under the washing of faith and time, he had also become old-fashioned, and he was incompatible with this new era.

"Where did we go before?" asked Shermans, part of the collaboration, the businessman loved stories about demons, which allowed him to delve into the unknown.

"In the part where the church was established, the monks brought back the knowledge of taboo from the north. ”

Like some strange bedtime story, Salicado said with some excitement.

Shermans remembered that he was old, and even his memories were a little unreliable.

"Yes, they came back from the north and brought back two books......"
