Embers of Embers

Chapter 162 The real goal
On the night of the battle with Dean Lawrence, everyone seemed to have forgotten one thing.
Seleucid was with Eve at that time. Perhaps it was Seleucid's inconspicuous characteristics that caused this effect, but Lorenzo clearly remembered that the two of them were together.
In other words, when Dean Lawrence was capturing the hostages, his target was most likely Seleu, but the situation was out of control and he didn't want to expose his purpose, so he captured Eve.
Listening to Lorenzo's explanation, Seliu felt that her blood had turned cold. Of course she knew who Dean Lawrence was, and she had completely witnessed the process of that battle. It was so powerful that it was irresistible.
"Why...why do you think it's him?"
Seliu shook his head, still unable to believe it.
"If it were him, wouldn't it be better if he attacked directly?"
With the power of Reverend Lawrence, no one can resist him.
"Maybe he is busy with other things and has no time..."
Lorenzo recalled the underground breeding ground. If nothing else happened, the madman had already melted the sacred coffin, which meant that he had released the Holy Grail.
"Of course, this is just my guess."
Lorenzo hesitated for a moment, and did not speak out about the speculation about Dean Lawrence.
Perhaps those weird hallucinations he had before were not hallucinations, but images from the [Gap], where Lorenzo saw the scarlet figure.
Medanzo said that the one who can maximize the [Gap] is the demon. If the Holy Grail is really released, then it is not impossible for Dean Lawrence to have some ability to interfere with the [Gap].
"Priest Lawrence, what do you want to do?"
Lorenzo whispered, he looked at Seleu, and new questions appeared again.
So why is Dean Lawrence’s target Seleucid?
His thoughts couldn't help but become confused. All of this was only based on Lorenzo's guess. No one knew what the result would be until the truth was revealed.
Sighing slowly, he felt a little tired, but at this moment a sharp iron whistle sounded. As someone who often dealt with Su Aran Hall, Lorenzo knew what this sound was.
The sound of hurried horse hooves stopped not far away. Lorenzo hid the knight's sword behind him with a cold expression. He walked to the door and slowly opened it.
As expected, the mounted policemen surrounded the mansion with rifles pointed at Lorenzo behind the door, shouting warnings.
But before the situation could develop further, someone shouted.
"Lorenzo?"
"Wait, it's my own."
Lorenzo actually felt a rare sense of intimacy when he heard the voice of one of his own.
Then I saw a man dismounting and running towards here. Lorenzo saw that it was Pres.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
The two said in unison.
There was a brief silence, and then Lorenzo spoke first.
"A more troublesome commission is related to those secret agencies."
As an ordinary police officer, Pres is not aware of the existence of demons. Under the work of the purge agency, in Pres's eyes, Lorenzo is currently working for a secret agency in the old Dunling.
Price nodded, easily inserting himself into the plot.
This is the scene where a high-level executive is doing something, but... this is the mansion of the Stuart family. Could it be that the Queen finally couldn't stand this group of upright nobles and was finally going to take action?
"Then how did you come here?"
Lorenzo asked warily.
He didn't know what the conditions were for invading the [Gap], but what was certain was that before launching the attack, Lorenzo could not guess whose [Gap] Father Lawrence would be in.
In other words, these mounted policemen in front of them all have the possibility of becoming enemies.
"Gunshot, Lorenzo!"
Price said almost crazy.
"This is an inner city area with mounted police patrolling 24 hours a day, not to mention this is the Duke's residence!"
Winchester's damn gunfire resounded through half the street. After getting the news, the mounted police rushed over, suspecting that someone was desperate to kill the Duke, and he wanted to kill an entire family.
"Is that so?"
Lorenzo couldn't help but cover his forehead. He had forgotten all this. This was Old Dunling, a society ruled by law, although the law could not control demons.
"Lo..."
"What's the matter?"
Lorenzo had a headache due to these continuous incidents. He looked at Pres and saw the police officer staring at his face and couldn't help but touch his gun bag.
Lorenzo felt something flowing down. He lowered his head and found that his whole hand was stained red with blood... This was not his blood, but that of the intruders.
Just when he was thinking about this, Pres stuck his head in the door by accident.
First, there was the rush of blood, and then there was a scene like a slaughterhouse, with blood and severed limbs everywhere, his stomach churned, and Press almost vomited out his supper.
This was not the end yet. Price saw a little girl sitting on the steps of the stairs. Her white pajamas were messy and stained with blood. She seemed to be frightened, and her eyes were a little dull.
If Price guessed correctly, this should be Miss Seleucid Stuart.
The police officer swallowed.
Press began to wonder whether he should shoot Lorenzo first and run away, or call his fellow troopers to direct suppressive fire on the mansion.
Seeing the rapid change in Pres' expression in just a few seconds, Lorenzo guessed what he was thinking.
"Wait a minute, it's not what you think."
"Lorenzo, you also worked at Su Alan Hall. Many people say this every day."
But most of them were locked up in iron prisons.
Press slowly retreated. Just when he was about to shout, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard again in the night. The dark horses dragged the dark carriage. They almost merged with the black shadow and came through the fog. .
The expected characters finally arrived, and Kestrel arrived at the scene with the purge agency troops.
Looking at the mysterious access document and this mysterious force taking over the scene, Price was a little confused.
In other words, is this really something done by high-level officials?Did the Queen really attack the Stuart family?
Of course, no one gave him a chance to prove the truth. The mounted policemen from Suyalan Hall were directly asked to leave, and heavily armed soldiers blocked the streets.
"You guys came slower than I thought."
Lorenzo glanced at the kestrel and then opened the door.
The purification mechanism was his back-up. This group of people covered the entire old Dunling with the large Geiger counters. Although a small part was damaged due to the erosion of Dean Lawrence, it would not hinder the place.
After feeling bad, Lorenzo immediately activated the secret blood, which triggered the Geiger counter responsible for the investigation, but he didn't expect the cleansing mechanism to come so slowly.
"We are already fast, okay? We are not witchers, we need time to prepare our weapons."
Kestrel argued.
"Stop talking about this, I need your help this time."
"What a surprise. What do you need?"
Kestrel asked with some curiosity, not expecting that this demon hunter would also need help one day.
I saw Lorenzo dragging out the two unconscious intruders and speaking to Kestrel.
"Help me find out their identities."
He looked into Kestrel's eyes and said very seriously.
"This has to do with Reverend Lawrence."
