Ember Gun

  Chapter 55 Resistant

   "I thought you had a few months to come back, how does it feel at the end of the world?"

   "It's not good, if I can, I hope I can change you next time."

   is still the huge dome, the stars are clearly visible in the dark night, Arthur is sitting on one end of the old round table, looking at the documents on the desk, while the man on the other end is talking to him.

  "The sky and the earth are endlessly pure white, there is nothing but myself, there is really a lonely place, even the most optimistic people will feel desperate for this."

  The man spoke slowly, with the exhaustion of the journey.

   "What happened during the time I was away? I saw that our knight commanders were all seriously injured, and even said that the Sailing Dawn was not in the dock."

   "A lot has happened, I thought you knew a rough idea."

"It's vague. I want you to tell me more than hearing other people say. Also, I heard the communication just now, so you agree. That Lorenzo Holmes is not fuel efficient. Lamp, aren’t you afraid of accidents?"

  The man seemed to know Lorenzo’s identity and was worried about it.

   "Actually, wasn't it a series of accidents from the beginning?"

Arthur slowly raised his head and looked at the man at the other end of the round table. He was wearing a gray robe and completely covered his whole body. .

"After you left a few months ago, we accidentally got information about the Demon Hunting Order. A freighter of the Evangelical Church sank in the waters near Nobito, the Viking Kingdom, on which a sacred coffin was stored. Mystery item."

"You should know how hard it is to clean up organs today. At the end of the Glorious War, we have established a dominant position with steam engines, but in the dark, demons are still a deadly threat. The Gospel Church threatens us to use steam technology in exchange for hunting. The protection of the demon cult."

   Arthur smoked a cigarette, the corners of his eyes were scratched by the years.

"We have won a hundred years of war. We will not succumb to anyone, let alone those fanatics. For this reason, we made a deal with that distant nine summer, so the general named Zuozhen took Kui The dragon fleet comes.

  The Gospel Church thinks that they have no power to fight against demons, but they don’t know that the cleansing organs have appeared in the deeper darkness. "

   "It looks like that thing is very important."

  The gray robe man’s business is hoarse, and it sounds like an extremely old old man, but the sleeves are slightly exposed, and the back of his hand is white and young.

  Arthur nodded and continued.

"The cleansing mechanism was established secretly, and with the technical support of Jiuxia, it has the initial ability to fight against monsters, but this is not enough. Compared with the armor technology of Jiuxia, the blood secret of the hunting sect is the most advanced. The sacred coffin is the core of blood secret technology."

   "Core?"

  This aroused the interest of the gray-robed man. He was a little surprised. He didn't seem to expect that the legendary secret blood was so close to him.

   "According to the information we know, the sacred coffin has a very special religious significance. More specifically, we don't know it. After all, the Demon Hunting Order was disbanded six years ago."

   "Disband? How is it possible?"

  Grey-robed man's gaffe has never happened before, and his voice can not help but rise.

"Yes, the six-year high-pressure closure of the Seven Hills has finally ended. Our intelligence has accumulated in that **** small town for six years, like a mailbox full of letters. Most of the intelligence has lost its timeliness, sacred. The coffin is only a few useful pieces of information. The Gospel Church seems to want to deal with this thing, but it sank in the middle."

   What followed was a long silence, and the two under the dome did not speak until the gray-robed man broke the calm.

   "What happened inside the gospel church?"

"I don't know, but the problem now is the sacred coffin. After you left, Lancelot took over the task. We searched for the shipwreck in the northern waters, but we were swiftly boarded. We don't know who these people are. But they are connected with demons and can be identified as enemies."

  Arthur continued to explain what happened after the gray-robed man left.

"Since then, we have begun to pursue the Coffin of the Holy Spirit. The enemy is bigger than we thought. Countless monsters are pouring out. There are monsters appearing in the territory of Inervig every day, and the knight commanders are exhausted. , Even saying that Galahad has fallen."

   "Now is the Shrike chasing the Divine Coffin?"

  "To be precise, it is procrastination. The real pursuit is in charge of Lancelot. He carries the armor of original sin. Only he can maintain his sense before that pure fear."

  The gray-robed man fell silent, seeming to be thinking, he asked after a long time.

   "How many manpower do we have."

   "It's gone, no matter how many other people are, if they can't resist the erosion, they will just die, so I agree that Shrike will take that **** Lorenzo on duty."

   Arthur said slowly, losing the Demon Hunting Order, and purging institutions in the flood of demons is the only torch.

   "And there are many reasons that prompted me to make this decision. According to Shrike, Lorenzo seems to be a demon hunter."

   "A demon hunter?"

"Maybe we can get more information from him. After the sudden blockade of the Seven Hills six years ago, until now, Lorenzo is the first living demon hunter we have contacted. There are too many doubts. Even Eve is there too."

  Speaking of Eve, Arthur's steel-like perseverance finally shook a bit, rubbing his tired eyes, and he continued talking.

  "I failed to protect her. The connection between her and the gap was finally reconnected. Those demons discovered her. No one can control the situation except the mysterious demon hunter."

   "That was the mistake of all of us. You don't need to bear it alone."

  The sound of footsteps sounded, and the gray-robed man slowly walked over. He was barefoot, like an ascetic monk, and his exposed skin was sealed with obscure symbols and spells.

   came to Arthur, he comforted the old friend, Arthur turned his head and said to him.

  "I have been waiting for you to come back. We need you to host the development of the original sin armor. The technological leap can only make our basic power able to compete with it. It is not enough to hunt down those powerful monsters.

  What we need is not a huge army, but one abominable demon after another. "

  Arthur looked at the dim eyes under the gray robe.

   "Now that the Demon Hunting Order is disbanded, it must be difficult to reproduce the secret blood technology. Even if we get the key information, we can't do it in a short time. The original sin armor is our only way out now."

  Open the Pandora’s Box and release endless disasters for that glimmer of hope.

"……I understand."

  The gray-robed man nodded and sighed, as if he had made a heavy decision, looking up at the endless night sky.

  "Sometimes I think we are very sad...like a group of mice living in the shadows, unknown monsters are everywhere in the darkness, and the desperate wailing of our kind is heard at night."

  “Sometimes I even think that everything we do is in vain. Just like the theorem of nature, tigers prey on deer. We are destined to be hunted. Now all sacrifices are just meaningless resistance.”

   "But at least we resisted!"

   Arthur said solemnly, with unyielding and anger.

"We are still different. Compared with those who have never thought of resisting, we at least did it. If it is said that being destined to be hunted is a theorem and an iron law, we at least broke this iron law and took the first place. step."

  He looked down at Arthur's angry face and couldn't help sighing.

   "You are still so motivated, it's great."

   "It's just that I have to do this. Just like the original decision to establish a cleansing mechanism, we can no longer live in fear."

  There are steel and fire hidden in the old muddy eyes.

   "Absolutely not."

  　 Thank you all for your support, the next step is the final story of this volume.
