The North Dero company that suddenly appeared, the exile of the Evangelical Church......

There are enough strange things in the old Dunling now, but just like everyone has made an appointment, troublesome things continue to appear.

Lorenzo also had some impressions of Shermans as a person, among those powerful cardinals, he was not noticeable, compared to other cardinals, he was like a true believer, and he had nothing extra to do every day except for his duties and prayers, but in the end he also became an exile and came to Old Dunling.

"The Evangelical Church has begun to split, and these divided exiles can be exchanged for a large bounty in the hands of the new pope, and of course we care more about cooperation than the bounty. ”

Oscar said to Lorenzo, who was looking forward to him.

"What about the clues, you should know better than I know how big Old Dunling is, and if Shearmes is hiding somewhere, I'll have a hard time finding him. ”

Lorenzo asked, these cardinals are human spirits, and the fact that they can escape from the place of the seven hills can already prove their caution and prudence.

"No, we suspect that Shermans has a helper, and that his traces on the sea cannot escape the sight of our Nordero, but as soon as he came ashore he mysteriously disappeared, as if someone was helping him. ”

"That's where you have to play freely." ”

Lorenzo pondered for a moment, his eyes wary, "Aren't you afraid that I will do something out of the ordinary?"

"According to Ingwig's regulations, he is considered a stowaway. Oscar spread his hands.

"However, in fact, there is one thing that should be a clue to the investigation, North Dro does not have many industries in the interior, our energy is limited, otherwise we would not have hired you, Shermans, an exile from a foreign land, can enter the old Dunling smoothly, and hide himself perfectly, there should be someone to assist him, and people who can do this level are very few in the old Dunling. ”

Lorenzo thought for a moment and replied, "I see." ”

"Don't be too anxious, this matter is just the icing on the cake for our cooperation with Fei Lengcui, don't force it too much, but if you really find him, the benefits will not be missing from yours." ”

"Shermans......"

Lorenzo did not rush to reply, and it must be said that Oscar's case succeeded in attracting his attention, and when the purpose of the mission was unclear, exiles appeared in opposition to the mission, although from Lorenzo's point of view, they were not allies.

There is a good chance that he will be the target of the Mission, and perhaps this time, he can take advantage of the dispute between them and the exiles.

The lost Apocalypse, the reappearance of hallucinogens, the exiles and the Legation are all like a chaotic gamble where Lorenzo wants to win everything at the table with the only chips he has...... It may be too confident to win everything, but at least you can't lose too badly.

Lorenzo had a headache about what was going to happen, and in the safest way to deal with it, he should have bought a ticket now, and then left the old Dunling far away, avoiding the dark vortex.

But Lorenzo was not the lamb of peace, he was eager to take advantage of danger, and he had a strange premonition that some changing secret awaited him, and that once he left, he would never know the truth again.

"That's all?" Lorenzo wondered if there were anything else,

"That's all. Oscar replied.

Lorenzo got up, looking like he was ready to leave this time.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Lorenzo. ”

Oscar said suddenly, with a strange meaning on his face, he looked like he knew everything.

Lorenzo didn't care about those, this time the protagonist was not himself, but Seleuc and Oscar, in the end, Lorenzo was just a lone wolf, and it was difficult for him to impress him with such a thing, and he cared more about his own intentions than interests.

It was also about the Stuart group, although they had a good relationship with Seleuc, but they should also keep their distance, and Lorenzo signaled and left the place, leaving only Oscar and Seleuc.

I don't know how long it took for Seleucus to break the silence.

"You deliberately took him away first, didn't you?"

Seleuce looked into Oscar's eyes, she had a pair of magical eyes that few people could resist Seleuc's prying eyes.

"Almost, you should understand Lorenzo better than I do, and there are some things that have nothing to do with him, so don't involve him, otherwise it will only become more troublesome. ”

Oscar seemed to know a lot, more than Seleuc expected him to know.

"Thank you Lorenzo for his intellectual curiosity, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to get the conversation up and let him work and leave. ”

Picking up the napkin on the side, Oscar wiped his hands, which were covered with sweat stains.

Although the conversation just now was peaceful, Oscar was extremely nervous, Lorenzo is an uncontrollable psychotic, it is difficult to know what he is thinking, even if Oscar is friendly with him, maybe he will be hacked to death for some strange reason in the next second.

Just like Seleu in front of him, even Seleu almost died at the hands of Lorenzo, and until the last moment, you never know what he will do.

"Actually, any kind of cooperation is just a façade, isn't it?" asked Seleuc.

Oscar nodded, "I'm a writer, but I'm also one of the shareholders of North Dero, so I always need some serious reason to meet someone of your stature, right?" ”

"So, dear Duke Stuart, how much do you know about us?"

This is the main topic of today, with her arms on her back, Oscar looked at her with a smile.

Seleuc shook her head, and she said.

"Shouldn't you be the one to introduce yourself?"

"Yes. ”

Oscar put away his smile and became serious.

"Do you know 'Imaginary'?"

"I've heard of the Ideal Country. ”

Seleuc was a little confused, not knowing what Oscar was doing with this.

She had heard Yawei mention these people, and as the old butler of the Stuart family, he knew many secrets, such as those related to Oscar, and when he learned of this side of Oscar, Seleuc was very wary, so that it seemed that the encounter on the train at that time was as if they had arranged it on purpose.

"The Republic of Ideals, derived from the work of the philosopher Plato, is a book that we highly admire, and we recognize the content of it. ”

"I've read this book. Seleucus said that reading is one of her only hobbies, and that the shelves are filled with books from all over the world, which Yahweh has helped her collect.

"And what do you think of the kingdom in the book?" asked Oscar.

Seleucus thought for a moment and replied, "A beautiful but lifeless and unattainable utopia. ”

The kingdom in the book seems beautiful, but it is completely ossified, without the slightest change, like a pool of calm stagnant water.

"It's true, from the perspective of the current situation, it is too far behind, but it still has some excellent points that we can learn from. ”

Oscar was not surprised by Seleuc's answer, and even he himself held the same opinion to a certain extent.

"Then what do you want to say? It can't be any philosophy with me?" asked Seleuc.

"Of course not, philosophy doesn't please girls. We like the idea of the Republic, but in the end it is just a theory that remains in the book, and Plato is not capable of doing all this, he cannot establish a kingdom. ”

Oscar said very seriously and seriously.

"But we can. ”

Seleuc's eyes changed slightly, she didn't answer, and after a short silence, she laughed.

"You're guilty of treason. ”

"It depends on your definition of 'kingdom', doesn't it? "Oscar didn't care at all about Seleuc's threat.

"And what are you here to do today, to convince me to join your strange organization and to establish this ideal kingdom, which sounds more like a club of superiority to the rich and powerful?" said Seleuc, "Yahweh has mentioned you to me, and you sound mysterious and unpopular. ”

"There will always be such a thing as prejudice, but I hope you can get to know us carefully before making a decision, and we are all looking forward to your new member. ”

As he spoke, Oscar pulled out a letter with a familiar pattern on the fire paint, consistent with the necklace around Oscar's neck, and pushed it towards Seleuc.

"I—I don't understand what deserves your courtship?" asked Seleuc, instead of answering the letter.

Since being targeted by Lawrence, Seleucus has a faint hostility and vigilance towards this sudden arrival, he is a new duke who has only just reached adulthood, and in the eyes of some ill-intentioned people, he is simply a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

"We have the intention to woo or invest in all valuable people, you are like this, and Lorenzo is like this, but it is a pity that he has too deep a connection with the purification agency, and we don't want to have anything to do with the purification agency, so we have to give up helplessly. ”

Oscar named their criteria for selecting members.

"Lorenzo?"

Seleucus didn't expect people like Lorenzo to be able to get into their eyes, and Oscar explained this very seriously.

"You know the three classes that Plato set up in the Republic, right? ”

Seleuc knew, and replied.

"Rulers of philosophy, warriors of iron and blood, citizens of ignorance. ”

"Lorenzo was a fine warrior, extremely good, and it was clear from his undaunted fighting spirit that he would be the strongest defender of the kingdom. ”

Oscar did not hesitate to praise Lorenzo, he continued.

"If I could, I wish he could be a part of the kingdom, as for you, you are the youngest duchess of Stuart, with countless families behind you, and as you get older, you will become more powerful, you will be a good ruler, and your addition will make the kingdom grow even faster. ”

Oscar's words changed, but he became more relaxed.

"We won't force you, after all, this is an ideal country, everything comes from the voluntary participation of the members, forcing it to look dirty here, whether to join or not, it's up to you, of course, don't rush to answer me, think carefully. ”

Seleuc was silent, and then looked at the letter, and couldn't help but look at the eyes on the fire paint, which seemed to come to life, and the two watched each other carefully, and saw through each other's hearts.

"However, there is one more thing, your joining, which may save Lorenzo's life. ”

Oscar seemed to know where the story was going, and he said to Seleuc.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing the girl's voice, Oscar looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and he explained instead.

"Don't worry, it's just a speculation, you know, this city is the old Dunling, and he belongs to the Purification Agency, and the Purification Mechanism serves Queen Victoria. ”

Oscar knew too much, and he said to Seleuc.

"Queen Victoria's will is the will that takes precedence, and when it conflicts with Lorenzo, do you think the Purifier will still be on Lorenzo's side?

"Only we can help Lorenzo then. Oscar said.

"You want to threaten me to join like that?"

"Of course not, we never force him, I just show the benefits and the stakes are good, you will be an insurance policy, when Lorenzo plays off, pull him a hand, of course it is not bad to pull him into our camp with a little force. ”

Although he said that he would give up, but if he had a chance, Oscar would not let go of Lorenzo, and there were not many guys who were so speculative and capable of fighting.

"No...... Wait, so you don't obey Queen Victoria?"

"We are a republican parliamentary system, and a monarchy is not a dictatorship. ”

Oscar stood up, smiling goodbye to Seleuc.

"I've said enough today, as for whether to join or not, please think carefully, of course, I still want you to join, after all, a good ruler recently rejected us, which makes us very sad. ”

"Who are your members?"

"That's not going to work, the list of members is classified, and even if you join, you probably won't know everything. Oscar decisively refused.

"That's all, aren't you afraid I'll tell me?" asked Seleuc.

"You wouldn't do that, and even though I've told you so much, this kingdom is still illusory to you, isn't it?"

Oscar didn't say any useful information from beginning to end, and he was like fooling Seleuc's investment throughout the whole process, cheating money in a magic stick.

"Wait, I have one last question. ”

Seleuc suddenly stopped Oscar, she looked at Oscar and asked.

"You fancy Lorenzo's powerful force, and you fancy the resources and rule of our Stuart family, but what about you?"

Seleuc seemed to have found a key, she asked.

"So, what did you join for, and what contribution can you make to this ideal country?"

I didn't expect Seleuc to ask that, Oscar smiled slightly, and then said.

"Value, the meaning is varied, not only political, resource or military value, it also has different meanings in different aspects. ”

Oscar said seriously.

"My book is actually quite popular. ”
