Ember’s Gun

At this moment, she is like an ordinary person, in fear and shaking.

“I don’t have the courage. I don’t dare to imagine failure. I can’t breathe under the pressure of this kind of duty. The only thing I can do in the end is to follow these and ignorantly reduce the population.”

Suddenly she grabbed Lorenzo’s hand and forced him to reach her neck, but she didn’t have much strength to speak of, and the action was ridiculous.

“Or…Kill me, you come to get this power and do what you want to do, as long as you don’t let me bear it anymore…”

The crazy chatter soon ended. Queen realized her absurdity, slowly let go of her hand and lowered her head in silence.

Lorenzo looked at Queen pityingly. She was just an ordinary person. Unfortunately, she was born in Victoria’s house and was under the curse of the king. She was trapped in this Platinum Palace all her life. She never had real freedom. I felt that I had enough bad luck, but this happened again during my tenure.

The succession of events almost destroyed this woman.

Lorenzo and Arthur kept silent tacitly, and gave Queen some time to relax. In this forgotten place protected by antimemetics, she was the only place where she could get rid of the crown.

I don’t know how long it lasted, and Queen said slowly.

“Of course, it’s not just chicken soup like courage, but also part of the times. This may be the time when we can finally fight back.”

“What do you mean?”

Lorenzo heard something else.

“Angels, you should have seen them. The protection mechanism of information threshold. Once someone knows too much cursed knowledge, they will appear and hunt it down.”

Queen is looking straight ahead, not looking at each other as much as possible, her eyes are slightly red.

“The builders of the country call them the silent, keeping the world silent, and we also think it is a protection mechanism, a mechanism to protect mankind.”

“Mechanism to protect humans?” Arthur puzzled.

“Excessive, cursed knowledge will plunge us into darkness, until now we all think that this darkness refers to the coming of the silent, but in the understanding of the country builder, we think that the silent is the same as us Yes, just like the birth control mechanism, before human beings cause disasters, we should solve ourselves first.

This is the case with the Silent. According to the country builder’s speculation, we will cross the fence when we are subjected to excessive and cursed knowledge. In the dark world, the fence remains silent and invisible. Once we cross The fence will make the hungry wolves discover the existence of the fence. “

“So the Silencer appeared, and dealt with us before we crossed the fence and contacted the hungry wolves…our restless lambs.” Lorenzo said depressed.

“That’s it. The next war that will break out is largely due to this. The fence cannot protect so many people. Once it is blown up, we will be unreservedly exposed to the dark inside and be surrounded by hungry wolves. .”

Queen didn’t know how to describe her mood at the moment, and said with a complicated expression.

“This World is a cage and a refuge.”

“The shepherds who maintained the fence and prevented the hungry wolves from advancing, when they appeared, and what the hungry wolves were against, we still don’t know. Maybe it has been recorded before, but most of them are lost in the years. In this long period of self-castration, it is difficult for the cursed knowledge to pass down. Even the things I know now have been processed.”

Lorenzo understands the meaning of Queen, which reminds him of the description of Demon and God in the Demon Hunter Order.

“Because of the unknown, it is sacred, so that it can be passed down in a deified manner. Although the original intention is distorted, it can at least let us know a little about its nature.”

“In fact, another part of the reason why I am convinced that the disaster is coming is that we are still alive,” Queen added. She seemed to have adjusted her emotions and her eyes became cold and indifferent. “Judging by the information threshold, we are all The target of the hunt, but we are alive now, the silent person is like something happened, and has no time to take care of us.”

“This…I also realize it.”

Arthur said at this moment, at the end of the workshop battle, the Silencers suddenly stopped their movements at the same time, and then left together, making it clear that they should kill all the talents present, as if something more important happened. Up.

“What makes the shepherd more flustered than killing these restless lambs? It’s the hungry wolves sneaking in.”

Lorenzo slowly said, this kind of thing is easy to guess, but if it really is, it also proves the credibility of the country builders.

The fence is almost unable to hold on.

“This is a rare gap, Mr. Holmes.

A rare opportunity in a century. Now the focus of the silent is attracted by unknown reasons, which means that their control of cursed knowledge has been weakened a lot. Once these words were known to us, we Will be hunted, but now we can not only talk freely, but also reflect a lot from it. “

Queen’s voice became urgent, she stood up swayingly, as if she would fall in the next second, but she still stood strong before she fell.

“During this period of time, we have the ability to exchange this knowledge, which means that the long-term oppression finally has such a chance to breathe… And then this is my plan.”

Queen sat back on the long table, her face gloomy and angry.

“We made a deal with Nine Summers more than ten years ago to exchange armor and antimemetic technology for steam technology. In fact, this is not the case. What we exchange is the knowledge of Secret Protectors.”

“wait a minute” Lorenzo noticed something bad, “Nine Summers also has a country builder?”

“Probably, I couldn’t believe it at first. According to the last Queen’s words, when the big damn ships appeared in the Rendona port, she really thought that there was going to be another war… But that’s the truth. The history of the country is longer and mysterious than any one of us imagined.”

Queen said that this seemed helpless.

“Of course I don’t know anything else. With the information threshold blocked, we will only become more and more ignorant.

I don’t know why, the demons in the Nine Summers region appear much less frequently than in the Western world, and in them, knowledge seems to be uncursed…Nor can we say that, because we don’t know yet. The reason is that the transfer of knowledge there is much more stable than ours.

For this reason, the country builders designated Nine Summers as a research area. In order to keep this knowledge’clean’, we secretly affect the world, and therefore the eastern route has not been opened up so far. Earth is isolated from us. “

“So what?”

Arthur asked, probably there are enough secrets known today, and it is difficult for Queen to talk about these things to change his mood.

“There is no such thing. This is a complete isolation. I don’t know what Nine Summers is researching and to what extent. In short, it is treated as an unknown surprise. On our side, the silent people cannot take the overall situation into consideration. Under circumstances, we can conduct small-scale knowledge exchanges, which may bring us closer to this World [the truth].”

Queen said and looked towards Lorenzo again.

“Mr. Holmes, I need you to go to the end of the world to find Secret Protectors. Today’s knowledge has been broken down too much. I need what you get from Secret Protectors…”

She took a deep breath, looking tired.

“Actually I don’t know what I can get from Secret Protectors, let alone what Nine Summers will bring. Everything is unknown, but I think we can try to bet and use the only chips To bet on a new future.”

“You want to bet? To bet on the fate of mankind?”

This thing only makes Lorenzo feel heavy and breathless.

“How is it possible, I don’t have the courage.”

Queen laughed self-deprecatingly.

“The two plans will advance in parallel. If we really win the bet, then we will open up a new future. If we lose and the war will remain, we will enter the next cycle.”

“And we all die, don’t we?” Arthur asked at this time, “After entering the next cycle, those of us who know knowledge will be hunted by the quieter who eases over.”

A long silence responded to Arthur, and Queen said slowly after a long time.

“Yes…we will all die, sorry.”

“There is nothing to be sorry for, for the gambler, with such a small chip, to bet such a big bet, win blood, and lose without losing…” Lorenzo suddenly said something bad. I don’t know if it’s comforting other people, or he really thinks like this, “Everyone is mortal, and will die anyway, right?”

“If it is done, everyone here will be great, the kind that can be written into textbooks.”

Lorenzo continued to talk bad words, and stood up from the edge of the high platform. He seemed excited and panicked.

“fleet is ready, but we don’t know the exact location of the end of the world. To ensure that knowledge is not contaminated, Secret Protectors has hidden the waterway in a mysterious fable.

As for it itself is surrounded by the Sea of ​​Silence, and the chaos of the Sea of ​​Silence has dimmed the stars. Even the most recent time, Merlin arrived at that position under the leadership of the navigators of the Viking nations. “

Queen talked about this grim situation, but thanks to this harsh environment, the secrets at the end of the world were concealed and kept absolutely silent.

“Sounds OK… so can we leave?”

Lorenzo can’t wait. Unlike Queen who was overwhelmed by despair, Lorenzo looked very happy after despair. In Lawrence’s [Gap], he saw the end of the day. He tried to change everything, but didn’t know what to do. Where to start, and now Lorenzo has finally found his way.

He strode forward, whispering softly.

“Now, let us open up a new future.”
