Chapter 245: Two knights

  Chapter 245 Double Knights

Following the familiar route, Joey quickly returned to the station. There are many places like this in the old town, and some of them are unmanned. Generally, they exist as safe houses with medical supplies and food. , There are some weapons, enough to support those seeking asylum for a period of time.

After saying hello to the uncle guard, Joey was allowed to enter. Sometimes the work rules of the cleaning agency are so rigid. Even if you get in touch, in order to avoid accidents, Joey still has to go through the formal procedures. The only advantage of getting in touch is. , That is, when he breaks the rules, the guardian will break his leg with a shot instead of headshot directly.

  This is the operating rules of the cleansing organs. Only by observing absolute rules can they guarantee that the darkness will not have a slight chance of corroding order.

   After a long sigh, leaving behind all the bad things in the Whitechapel, Joey adjusted his mind and opened the door to continue working.

"You're back?"

  As soon as he opened the door, a discordant and unpleasant voice sounded, as if he was mocking Joey, and he deliberately made the ending sound very long.

  Lorenzo moved the sofa to the door and sat carelessly, not knowing how long he had guarded Joey.

   "Lorenzo?"

  Joy didn't expect Lorenzo to find this. Of course, this guy is here. There must be nothing good.

  Just as he thought, Lorenzo didn't give Joey time to think, and he bounced off the sofa directly. He hurriedly pulled him away before Joey stepped into the house.

   "What are you going to do?" Joey didn't understand what Lorenzo was going to do.

   "The important thing, take me to see Arthur, this can be related to the "Revelation"." Lorenzo said directly.

  The sound of footsteps kept coming from the stairwell. The guardian opened his distressed eyes. Normally, there are not so many people entering or leaving the building.

  Lorenzo motioned to the uncle, he looked really anxious, and said to Joey as he walked.

   "Joy, because of your... personal privacy issues have delayed me for a long time, so please hurry up."

Standing on a busy street, Lorenzo stopped, then looked at Joey expectantly.

"what are you waiting for?"

  After hearing the "Revelation", Joey understood the seriousness of the situation, but he was a little unsure of why Lorenzo looked at him like this.

  After waiting for a few seconds, Lorenzo cried out.

  "Car! Carriage! We won't walk to the broken dome!"

  This guy was as fast as the wind, and it touched Joey's thoughts at the beginning. Only then did he react, and then walked towards the building. The gate led to the open space inside the building, where a black carriage was parked.

   "If you want me to say, you should give me the address of the broken dome, otherwise it will be really troublesome every time."

  In the fast-moving carriage, Lorenzo complained like this.

  Joy shook his head, and he rejected Lorenzo’s request many times.

   "Impossible, Lorenzo, that is our core, our brain, it needs to maintain an absolute state of purification, and will never allow any potential danger."

   "Am I considered potentially dangerous?"

  Although Lorenzo was cheerful, he was relaxed and vigilant. It was like a joke, but in the current situation, he became serious.

  Joy did not notice these changes of Lorenzo. Although he is a high-ranking knight, he is only a soldier for the removal of institutions and the entire Invervig...a slightly larger soldier, or cannon fodder.

  The removal agency is very strict with the information security level, and it is not his fault that Joey could not think of some things.

   "Probably, don't you think you are not dangerous?"

  Joy replied after thinking hard.

   "Think about it carefully, Lorenzo, you are a monster who has come back from the dead. If your Geiger index reaction stabilized at that time, we were really ready to bombard it again!"

  At that time, everyone's nerves were tense, and they looked like a doomsday battle.

  Listening to Joey's somewhat joking tone, Lorenzo was stunned, and then continued to scream as usual.

  The carriage went for a while, but this time no one blindfolded him or led the way. Lorenzo felt something was wrong.

   "Aren't we going to the Broken Dome?" Lorenzo asked.

   "I didn't say I want to go?" Joey said, "You also know the current situation. In order to ensure safety, the Broken Dome has been closed to ensure that no one will threaten it."

   "What about Arthur?"

  "He’s not always in the broken dome. For such things as meetings, can’t it be enough to have a room with a table and chairs?"

  The sky outside the window became more and more gloomy and gray, the wind rolled up the old smoke and dust, the desolate earth began to step in front of him, and Lorenzo knew where they were going.

   "Actually, you also happened to be here. Merlin always wanted to see you, but there was no time, so it happened to happen."

Joey said, and then the gray silhouette rose above the rugged ground. It seemed to be a huge heart made of steel and machinery, standing on the ground. With its powerful beating, the roaring iron between the machinery Yin, red and scorching blood is flowing.

  "Machinery Institute..."

  Lorenzo thought a lot in his mind for a moment, but for some reason, a vague shadow flashed in his vision for a moment, and something spread its wings, covering the sky.

  Trying to move his gaze back, Lorenzo asked.

   "Anything new recently?"

  Joy knew that Lorenzo wanted to ask about those of Fei Leng Cui, he replied.

   "There is nothing unusual. The mission is very obedient. It does not communicate with high-ranking officials or visits various scenic spots all day long. In short, it didn't give us any trouble to fill in."

  "Isn't the highlight yet?" Lorenzo asked.

   "What's the highlight?"

  "Don’t pretend to be a fool, Joey, you know what I’m asking, haven’t they started trading with the decontamination agency? Those about demons."

  Joy shook his head, "I'm just a high-ranking knight, a good cannon fodder, how can I know those, if you want to know, you might as well ask them directly."

   "Arthur? That old fox probably doesn't tell the truth."

  "It's not Arthur, he's not here now. According to the schedule, he should be with the priest Anthony."

  Lorenzo was startled, he asked back, "Then who am I going to see now?"

   "Another group of temporary principals, and Merlin, you also know that you are so busy now that you always need to share your work."

  Lorenzo obviously does not know the specific operation of the cleansing agency, but after thinking about it carefully, the cleansing agency must have some backup plans, such as who should be replaced by Arthur as the leader if he died.

  Although Arthur is not dead yet, he is obviously too busy alone.

Stepping into the familiar factory, where the temperature is hot, expelling all the cold of the old Dunling, the red molten iron falls like a waterfall. From the high platform, you can see that they are constructing a giant skeleton, as if some The remains of the monster after its death.

   "What are you making?"

  Lorenzo is a little curious. It can be said that the Academy of Mechanical Engineering is the most advanced factory in the world, and the most advanced things are born here. The things they do are likely to change the future direction of the world.

  "Airship, transport airship."

  Joy glanced, and then said, this is not a secret, at least not for Lorenzo.

   "Technology gives priority to the military. This is the warning we got during the glorious war, but now that the war is gone, the war machine should turn into productivity."

  The crane spliced ​​the heavy skeletons one by one, like a giant assembling toy. They fit together to reveal a hideous appearance. With the sparks and the iron sound, the skeleton of a giant whale gradually takes shape in front of Lorenzo.

  "Do you remember the snake system in the atrium, in order to ensure the transportation capacity, the railway operation of Inervig has been saturated, and the external navigation is also hosted by the North Delor company, and now... we should occupy the sky."

  "Occupy the sky? The tone is so big..."

  Lorenzo looked at all of this. Although he said so, if the executor is Inervig, maybe it is really possible. After all, the airship technology has existed for many years, but it is only the first time it has been used for civilian use.

"The speed of the airship is not very fast, but the advantage is that it can cross mountains and swamps without being troubled by the terrain. Currently this is the second batch of transport airships produced, and the first batch of test runs will begin in the near future. "

  Joy explained to Lorenzo.

"Whether it is transporting goods or transporting people, even if it is just for viewing, people will pay for it. After all, no one can refuse to yearn for the sky, and this is the first attempt to unite with a private enterprise. A lot of effort."

  Lorenzo vaguely remembered the Duke, but his only impression was that he was rich.

  The elevator began to slowly descend, covering the steel artifacts and disappearing.

The   Mechanical Institute is just a camouflage. The perpetual pumps below are the most important place. They are built along the backbone of the Pillar of the Furnace to build an ecosystem of steel and machinery.

As it dropped, the temperature of the air became hotter and hotter. Just like Lorenzo had been here before, the roaring sound of water reverberated in his ears, followed by sharp steaming sounds, which combined with the high temperature. At the same time, a thick white mist rose up, surging upward.

  There is such a humid and hot mist in every gap, and the red firelight dyes it until it reaches the deep red bottom.

Lorenzo inadvertently saw something. After the heavy steel, he could see what was being transported on the rails in the cracks. Some forbidden things were sealed in the familiar iron box, and Lorenzo could vaguely feel That strange erosion.

  "Is that the armor of original sin?" Lorenzo asked.

"what?"

  Joy was far less sensitive than the Demon Hunter, and he couldn't notice the cargo that flashed past the gap.

  Lorenzo looked a little helpless, but did not continue to ask anything, anyway, everything that follows will be answered.

  Different from the previous ones, Lorenzo can clearly see that there are many more guards here in the Pump of Perpetual Motion, and more weapons that have not been seen are held in the hands of those who do not know when they will suddenly explode.

Sometimes you can see some people in white clothes with the eternal ouroboros printed on them, but these lunatics seem to have a lot of freedom at this moment. Everyone is followed by security guards. I don’t know whether to monitor them or guarantee. Their safety.

  While Lorenzo was thinking about this, someone greeted him. It was a group of guards. They surrounded Lorenzo involuntarily, which made Lorenzo feel very insecure.

  "Cooperate, please."

  As they said, they checked Lorenzo's clothes to see if he had entered with weapons.

   "I remember there was no such program here before."

  Lorenzo felt something was wrong, but he raised his hand in cooperation.

"special period."

  Joy also felt that there was a problem, but he comforted himself by saying this.

  The atmosphere here has become more serious than ever. Normally those who are crazy can open up some strange weapons for fun, but at this moment, they are working efficiently and completely militarized as if they were preparing for war.

   "Mr. Lorenzo Holmes?"

Suddenly someone called himself, Lorenzo looked over, and a man came from the end of his field of vision. Judging from the attitude of the people around him, he should also be a managerial person, but Lorenzo had a very serious look at him. He had never seen this man.

  On the contrary, Joey seemed to have an impression, his face changed slightly, and he understood what happened.

  The man's face was serious, like an expression with unquestionable determination, his eyes fixed on Lorenzo, not so much a human being, Lorenzo felt that he was like a hard sculpture.

   "It's nice to meet you, I have heard of your deeds before."

  He stretched out his hand, and the tense atmosphere attenuated a bit.

"You are?"

  Lorenzo hesitated, but still stretched out his hand, and then the man responded.

   "One of the knight commanders, Gawain, now I assume part of Arthur's functions."

  The rumbling iron sound sounded again, and Lorenzo couldn't help being attracted by the sound. His attention was not so distracted, but this time was different. He felt the weird power.

  The goods on the guide rail appeared again. It was transported along the corridor. The iron box was carved with reliefs of ghosts and gods. Lorenzo could not judge what was inside before, but he seemed to have an answer at this moment.

  That should be the armor of the man in front of him. In order to ensure the stability of the old soul, one of the original sin armors transferred from the outside world, and the knight wearing this armor.

  "Please tell me if you have anything, I am currently managing part of it."

   Arthur dealt with the difficult mission wholeheartedly, and the operation of the cleansing organs was now handed over to his subordinates, the knight commander.

   "Actually, you can tell me."

  Another voice sounded, and a woman walked out from behind Gao Wen. She grabbed Lorenzo's hand that was still in the air, which had not been retracted, and shook him firmly.

   "One of the knight commanders, Percival."

  Another original sin armor was transported along the rail into the deeper part of the pump of perpetual motion, and the woman looked at him with a smile.

   "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Lorenzo Holmes."
