Ember Gun

  Chapter 238 North Deloitte

   "Good morning, Mr. Holmes."

  In the vague phantom, Lorenzo heard someone calling himself, the voice was a little familiar, he tried to find the direction of the voice, and ran vigorously amidst the bizarre illusion.

  Lorenzo slowly opened his eyes. As the light fell, there was a slight tingling in his mind. He subconsciously grabbed the pocket watch hanging by the bed and looked at the time. Lorenzo had slept for a long time.

It’s strange that Lorenzo is a very self-disciplined person. He fights and kills every day. He is not self-disciplined. Even if it is late at night, he will get up on time. But it seems that the exhaustion of thinking last night tortured him. Lorenzo was in a trance. Reluctantly got up from the bed.

"Good morning."

  He responded casually, but soon his confused mind became clear, and his eyes were piercing.

  I lived in Old Dunling for so long, but no one had ever asked Lorenzo to get up. Even if Mrs. Van Lud had something to look for herself, she would smash the door forcefully instead of coming in and calling herself.

   subconsciously stretched towards the bed, where a short dagger was hidden there, but soon Lorenzo's eyes became clear and he saw the person who came.

   "Yawei? Why are you here."

  Looking at the old housekeeper in front of him, Lorenzo felt a little surprised. Yawei bothered him to death. Unless there was something necessary, he would never appear in front of him.

   Yawei's face was stern, and his tone of voice was not good.

   "Of course something is going on, you can keep me waiting for a long time."

  Lorenzo glanced at the time again. It seemed that Yawei couldn't wait any longer, so he had to come in and wake Lorenzo himself.

   "Hurry up and put on clothes, we are running out of time."

   Yawei came prepared, and he threw it to Lorenzo in a nice outfit. Judging from the fabric, it was not a bargain.

"what happened?"

  Lorenzo was a little dazed, he just woke up, and the busy day was about to begin again, maybe...this is just hard work.

  "After our introduction, someone is very interested in you and wants to hire you to investigate a case." Yawei explained directly, taking the opportunity to lift Lorenzo's quilt to make him more sober.

   "We agreed to meet at noon, but you have slept for too long, so let's take care of the rest on the road."

  Seeing that Lorenzo was dressed a little better, and the coat finishing and other things could be solved on the carriage, he said so, he directly pulled Lorenzo up and dragged him forward.

  It may be a little awkward to sleep. When Lorenzo recovered, he was sitting in the carriage face to face with Yawei. The carriage ran fast and quickly moved away from 121A Cork Street.

   "Put it on."

Yawei said as he handed out Lorenzo's jacket, he also took out a comb, and asked Lorenzo to fix his messy hairstyle.

   "Where are you taking me?"

   "You will know when you arrive, and are you not a detective? Reason for yourself."

Seeing Yawei’s appearance, Lorenzo became silent, put on his jacket, tidyed up his makeup, took the razor that Yawei prepared in advance, and shaved off the stubble so that he didn’t look so sloppy. .

   "Another big man? A noble guy with a certain status wants me to handle the case for him?"

   Lorenzo said as he cleaned himself, his expression was a bit sleepy, after all, he was still sleeping in the warm nest a few minutes ago.

   "You know I don't care about my image, so these are for the client, right, and my detectives are not well-known, except for your referrals, I have nothing to do with this kind of upper class society."

  Lorenzo likes to use violence to solve his work. Rather than reasoning, it is better to grab the suspect and torture him. He belongs to the dirty gutter.

   "That is to say, this time you have your share?"

Lorenzo looked at Yawei suspiciously. Yawei did not seem to be someone who could find a job for himself, and he should also know what he was dealing with. If someone really consulted them about detective services, he must be not. First choice, otherwise, with Lorenzo's inferiority, the incident will always advance in the worst direction.

   "Almost, this is an opportunity for the Stuart family. This method is more suitable for us than fighting with other families."

  Yawei did not say it clearly, but from these simple words, you can also experience the seriousness.

  Things happened one after another, and there was no time to rest at all, and Lorenzo was not anxious to ask questions, anyway, he would know sooner or later.

   "But, do you know? Fei Lengcui's mission is here."

  Yawei talked about something else and brought up the topic.

  "Felengcui's Mission?"

This incident made Lorenzo completely awake. He stared at Yawei with a ferocious aura. This sudden change caught Yawei by surprise. He only knew that Lorenzo was from Fei Lengcui, and he might care about his hometown. I never thought that his reaction would be so big.

  Does this detective bother his hometown so much? No wonder I have been here for so long, and I haven't even thought about going back.

"what happened?"

"As I said, the delegation of Feilengcui arrived in Old Dunling last night. They were the first to arrive. The delegations of the Viking countries also arrived here this morning. group……"

Yawei explained to Lorenzo, "They arrived at midnight. You should be sleeping at that time. They have already moved into the embassy and there is no other move."

  "Is that so? Is there anything else special?" Lorenzo asked.

"Even if there is something special, I can't know it, right? If you want to know, I suggest you go to the mysterious department." Yawei doesn't want to mention the name of the cleansing organization, he doesn't want to get involved with those monsters. .

Lorenzo was silent, just like he was destined. When he was worried last night, the delegation of Fei Lengcui also arrived slowly. As for finding the cleansing mechanism, Lorenzo instinctively resisted these, he was worried about whether he would not. It will become a bargaining chip in the deal between the cleansing agency and the gospel church.

He knows exactly what kind of person Arthur is. If Eve’s factors are excluded, Arthur is an invulnerable demon, ruthlessly determining the direction of the event. He represents not an individual, but a whole group. When he and Loren Lorenzo can be easily given up when his interests are no longer consistent, or Lorenzo's interests can no longer satisfy them.

  Lorenzo did not know the strength of the rebuilt Demon Hunting Order, but he knew that once his worst idea became a reality, the whole old Dunling would become his enemy.

   "The next thing is also related to the mission?" Lorenzo asked what he thought of.

   "Yes." Yawei replied.

"I'm starting to be interested in this matter." Lorenzo sorted out himself. Before, he wanted to shirk the past for this reason. Now this mysterious mission is his focus, but he knows that everything else is not the same. After the relevance, Lorenzo turned down in a less anxious manner.

  The carriage stopped. It was a place familiar to Lorenzo, Stuart’s mansion.

  "Is the meeting here?" While Lorenzo said, he also anticipated the people he would meet next.

  On the long table, Seleu sat in the seat of the master. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

   "Good morning!" Lorenzo said as he took his seat. After life was back on track, he rarely disturbed Seleuc. This could be regarded as the first time they met after the birthday of God.

   "It's noon." Seleuc's tone was very flat, just as usual.

Lorenzo has become accustomed to her attitude, and I don’t know if the next guests will get used to it. After all, Seleu’s indifferent appearance, no matter who sees her for the first time, he will feel that he owes her millions. return.

   "So mystery, what is it?" Lorenzo took his seat and asked.

Yawei and the waiters have left here. Only Lorenzo and Seleu are left here, as well as the guest who is still on the way. Yawei did not disclose too much on the way. He is just a housekeeper, and he doesn't like it. Talk about something.

   "What else can I have, benefits." Seleu said blankly.

   "Do you worry about this?"

  Lorenzo glanced at this huge mansion, which is still one of the many properties of the Stuart family. Duchess like Seleuc did not seem to be worried about these things.

   "I am not the same as you. I represent the entire Stuart group. The whole needs interests, not just enough for one person."

   Seleuc said that after officially becoming the Duchess, she is no longer a mascot, but has to formally intervene in management and learn different knowledge.

"The Medici family has funded many artists, and the artworks they created are very valuable. However, there has been no long-term stable trade between the Holy Gospel Papal State and Invervig, and a large part of the circulation of these artworks has also become Gray industry."

  Seleu's tone suddenly became light, and he stretched out his fingers, rubbing his thumb and index finger vigorously a few times.

   "This is all money! Money!"

   "Do you want to intervene?" Lorenzo asked.

Seleu nodded and continued, "The influence of the Stuart family is limited to Inervig, and its influence on other countries is far less powerful than that of this guest, so we are ready to cooperate with him and the mission in the near future. In trade transactions, he just needs a detective to handle the case. In order for the transaction to go smoothly, I have to trouble you."

  "Do I have money to take it?" Lorenzo pretended to say lightly.

   "Yes, and there are many. That guest is a truly rich and enemy country." Seleu's rare awe appeared in his eyes, which made Lorenzo have to be curious.

   "Who is he? Or who are they? Anyway, I'm about to meet soon, so I'm a little psychologically prepared." Lorenzo said.

   "North Deloitte Company." Seleu said.

   "North Dro?" Lorenzo had an impression of this word, but he couldn't remember it.

"The full name is the North Delro Colonial Trading Company. They are licensed by Queen Victoria to go north from Inervig to the Delro Islands. They are commercial companies that trade with the colonies of various countries. Although they are said to be these, they are so. With years of development and growth, their trade scope has also radiated to Feilengcui and other places.

  Because of the wide scope of business and the conflict of interest with those Vikings, they are allowed to have their own private frigates, which will make our trade much safer. "

  Seleu introduced this somewhat unfamiliar, but somewhat familiar organization.

  "They don't have much industry in Inervig, mainly for foreign countries, so it is normal for you to be a little unfamiliar."

  "Are you going to work with them?"

   "One of the shareholders." Seleu said.

Lorenzo was silent. After Seleuc’s explanation, Lorenzo gradually remembered things related to him. This North Dero almost monopolized foreign trade, but thanks to it, it stabilized the rule of the foreign colonies and also guaranteed it. The safety of trade routes.

  A sudden voice interrupted the conversation between the two, a carriage stopped outside, and as the footsteps approached, the mysterious guest came from afar.

  The door was pushed open forcefully, and then a person Lorenzo had never imagined appeared in front of him.

  "Long time no see! Lorenzo!"

  Oscar Wilde opened the door and greeted Lorenzo.

   "Oh, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to work with you, and I blame my clumsy eyes, I didn't recognize you before."

  Oscar looked like an old acquaintance, and he took a seat directly after greeting him, without the restraint of outsiders at all.

  Lorenzo is a little dazed. If not surprisingly, Oscar is the guest of North Dro, but... but isn’t he a writer?

   "Wait... Are you from North Delor?"

   "Accurately speaking, it is one of the professions."

  Oscar smiled and replied, "You know, Lorenzo, writing a book is easy to starve to death. I always need some part-time jobs to let me chase my dreams, right."

  He said so, the silver necklace swayed between his neck, his eyes looked at Seleu, and the girl in front of him was the highlight.

   "Of course, thank you for your trust in us and your willingness to unite with us. With your assistance from Stuart, our route will be unimpeded."

  Oscar said hello to Seleuc.

  Lorenzo was obviously still a little unacceptable, but the two did not intend to give him more time to discuss directly. Regarding the route, the cargo, and many, many things, there was no need for Lorenzo.

   "Oscar, what do you hire me for?"

  Lorenzo couldn't help it a bit, he interrupted the conversation between the two directly, otherwise, depending on the carefulness of the discussion between the two, it is estimated that the darkness will not end.

   "This, please wait a moment."

  The two are also acquaintances. Oscar is not angry. After indicating to Seleu for permission, he first transferred the content of the topic to employment.

  "This cooperation cannot be resolved by signing and signing. After I discussed with the Duke of Stuart, we still need to contact the mission and ask their intentions. In other words, this is all uncertain."

   Oscar continued, his expression and tone were full of dissatisfaction with the gospel church.

  "You should also be aware of the personality of those priests, right? They are greedy and longing for wealth, but they make mistakes, and always use the name of belief.

  Nordro had contacted him a few times before, but the results of the discussion were not very pleasant. We want to take advantage of this mission’s opportunity to win these. In order to make it smoother, of course we have to do our best. "

  Lorenzo looked at this familiar friend, just like the term North Dro, after familiarity was a mysterious stranger.

   "Follow what you like, what do you want to do?" Lorenzo asked.

  Speaking of this, Oscar sat upright and said solemnly.

  "Do you know the exiles who defected from the Evangelical Church?"

  Lorenzo was startled, not knowing why things would involve them.

  "According to the information I have received, one of the purposes of the mission this time is to unite with Inervig, or our North Dro, to hunt down these exiles."

"you?"

   "Don't underestimate us, Lorenzo, we can control most of the routes, and we have an absolute advantage at sea."

  Oscar turned around, with a strange smile, it seemed that he had long wanted Lorenzo to do all this, and now these are just formalities.

   "Of course, if this is the case, there is no need to trouble you. The main reason I hired you this time is that we caught a group of smugglers a few days ago."

  Oscar stared at Lorenzo intentionally or unintentionally.

"We got some useful news from them. They were responsible for smuggling together. There is a very important person on the list. He is one of the exiles, Cardinal Shermans of the Evangelical Church, and now he seems to be In this old soul."

   "Do you hope I can find him, and it's better to send it to the embassy in a big way?" Lorenzo asked.

  Oscar thumbs up with satisfaction.
