Embers of Embers

Chapter 595 Holy Silver Mine
Winchester Office welcomed a visitor for the first time in a long time, which made this lifeless room a little more lively.
Some people have a mountain collapsing in front of them, but their expressions don't change. Those who are calm and collected are heroes among people. Kestrel can do this too. Not to mention his expressions don't change, he will even laugh and exclaim a few times. Damn it.
Sometimes Lorenzo felt that this was a kind of calmness, but it was a little too calm.
Kestrel was revealed some secrets, which were information related to the truth of the world, but unlike other sad-faced guys, this guy still looked indifferent, leaning aside with his body dirty, eating from the fruit basket. fruit, and don’t regard themselves as outsiders at all.
He smelled of dust, as if he had just crawled out of a mine. When he raised his hands, Lorenzo could still see the dirt falling from his body.
"How about the others?"
Lorenzo chatted with him.
"It's not too good. Everyone has a terrible face, as if their salary has been deducted." Kestrel said while shaking his head.
"I know the truth doesn't make people happy, but somehow, no matter whether you are distressed or not, the problem is there. It's better to be cheerful, right?"
Regarding Kestrel's answer, Lorenzo nodded vigorously in affirmation.
After leaving the end of the world, when Lorenzo boarded the returning Morning Glory Advance, unlike the ecstasy of others who survived, Lorenzo did not feel the slightest sense of excitement. Instead, he was full of pressure, and he could not release this pressure. There is no one to share it with, so I can only bear the panic and fear from the secret alone.
He often couldn't sleep at night along the way, and the crew would shout Lorenzo's name when they saw him, treating him as a hero.
Indeed, Lorenzo is indeed a hero. Few people in this world can return from the Silent Sea. When the Dawn Advance appeared again among the Viking nations, even the King of Ice Sea looked at it sideways and couldn't help but Marvel.
But Lorenzo has no sense of heroic honor, and the responsibility brought by this secret is too heavy.
This unlucky world is not only in danger, but two more terrifying monsters have awakened from their long slumber. They are fighting each other, but no matter what the outcome is, such threats still exist, not to mention that there is another even more monstrous monster. Trying to wake up from a long sleep.
"People should be optimistic and kill enemies happily."
Lorenzo muttered.
He almost couldn't figure out his own position. Sometimes Lorenzo was as powerful as a bloodthirsty monster, but more often than not, he looked like a helpless mortal.
Many nights, Lorenzo would wake up, and the monster named Lawrence would emerge from his nightmares, laughing ferociously, laughing at Lorenzo's failure.
Lawrence was right. He had foreseen this crazy future, and he became crazy because of it. He did not hesitate to seize the "Apocalypse", draw forbidden blood, and shape the army of demons.
Lorenzo cursed many times in his dreams, but when Lorenzo really made a decision, he was horrified to find that he seemed to make the same decision as Lawrence.
Only a demon can kill another demon.
In order to win this war with demons, humans need more demons.
More forbidden blood.
More... witchers.
"Lorenzo?"
The kestrel's voice woke Lorenzo from his thoughts, and Lorenzo's body trembled slightly, as if he had just had a bad short dream.
"what happened?"
Lorenzo asked. He had been distracted like this recently. As he thought about it, his thoughts were shrouded in darkness, leaving him to scream alone.
"I think it would be weird to be too optimistic."
Kestrel's heart was so big that he didn't even notice Lorenzo's distraction and the ferocious expression on his face just now. He just ate the apple and talked to himself.
"Think about it, Lorenzo. On a battlefield where blood and flesh are everywhere, you brave heavy artillery fire and kill the enemy in the smoke of gunfire, laughing while killing you...imagine that scene."
Kestrel motioned Lorenzo to think, and his expression was quite strange at the moment.
"To be honest, if I were your teammate, I would also think that your mind is not normal... just like now."
Lorenzo stopped talking. Indeed, under extreme pressure, some people will collapse, and some people will suddenly think about it. Lorenzo is the latter. In order not to be overwhelmed by the pressure, he is overly optimistic and It's so humorous that it scares everyone around him.
When Seleu came to see Lorenzo a few days ago, he saw him wearing a bathrobe and singing with a gun handle, and he couldn't help but say something from the bottom of his heart.
"The great Mr. Holmes, have you finally lost your mind?"
With Seleu's comments ringing in his ears, Lorenzo sighed helplessly, then put away the smile on his face and became serious.
"So, everything is settled?"
"of course."
Kestrel smiled confidently and shook the smoke off his body.
"If it's not done, I won't come to you."
"What about that thing?"
Listening to Lorenzo's question, Kestrel pointed to the door. When he came in, Kestrel did not close the door to the room. It was left ajar, revealing a gap where you could see the Winchester Office. There was a carriage in front of the door, and a group of men in black were carrying something out of the carriage.
Kestrel adjusted his sitting position and looked at the map hanging at the end of the long table. There were red crosses all over it. One of the red crosses was very familiar to Kestrel. After all, he had just rushed from the position of the red cross overnight. Back to old Dunling.
"Your map is correct. We mobilized a large number of excavators overnight and dug out the Holy Silver Mine from dozens of meters underground. Mining was a bit difficult, but now that the Eternal Pump has accepted it, the output will increase significantly in the near future. improvement."
Kestrel said as he took out a piece of silver-white metal ore from his arms and threw it towards Lorenzo. He raised his hand to catch it and rubbed the smooth surface with his rough fingers, feeling the coldness on it.
At this time, the door of the office was pushed open again, and the agents of the purification agency moved the heavy black box in, filling up the small space in the living room in the blink of an eye.
Lorenzo stood up and opened a box casually. Amidst the flying dust, a delicate silver nailed sword and equally cold bullets came into view.
"In order to meet your needs, we used the holy silver mine to urgently process these holy silver weapons... For the first time, I felt the odds of winning. These holy silver weapons are enough for us to destroy all demons."
Kestrel's words were a little trembling. At first, he was deceived into mining in the west. He was very angry. But when the last layer of dust was dug up and the deadly holy silver was dug out, Kestrel felt something in his heart. Just shocking.
He had heard about the power of Holy Silver a long time ago. As a mysterious metal that can suppress demons, its existence further strengthened the status of the Demon Hunting Cult. But unfortunately, this metal is too mysterious to be copied by the outside world. It is also cherished within the Demon Hunting Order.
But just under Lorenzo's map, you can dig out a large piece of this thing at will. When Kestrel left, it was estimated that there were at least thousands of tons of holy silver below, and the most terrifying thing was a location like this , in more than one place.
On that map, under every red cross, there is a huge holy silver mine.
"It looks pretty good."
Lorenzo took out a nail sword. Different from the previous plating, this was a new type of nail sword made of holy silver and cypress. It not only retained the suppressive power of holy silver, but also used cypress to strengthen the blade.
The rest of the bullets were also composed like this. With these weapons, Lorenzo felt that he was fully capable of annihilating an army of monsters.
"So how did you know there was..."
Kestrel couldn't help but be curious, and just as he asked Lorenzo, he heard a sharp sword cry, and the narrow tip was just a hair away from touching his throat.
Lorenzo hissed, then shook his finger and put away the nail sword.
Seeing Lorenzo's reaction, Kestrel stopped asking any more questions. He also understood the regulations of the purification agency. He should not know things that he shouldn't know, such as this huge holy silver mine.
Lorenzo leaned to the side, stretched out his hand and gently touched the edge of the nailed sword, feeling the sharp edge.
This was a gift from the Keeper, and Lorenzo read his memories to get as much useful information as possible. For this purpose, Lorenzo found the war fortresses during the war in his mind.
In the eyes of the secret keepers, these are useless ruins with no survivors. All circulatory systems have long since collapsed, energy is interrupted, and all facilities are shut down or damaged. Apart from the history they carry, they have nothing. significance.
But not so for Lorenzo.
The Keeper was right, he was always limited by his own time. No matter what, he never imagined that the Forbidden Alloy just used to protect himself would be forged into a sharp sword to kill.
These defeated and abandoned fortresses are all wrapped in Forbidden Alloy, which means they contain huge amounts of holy silver.
Lorenzo wrote down their locations, but they were from countless centuries ago. At first Lorenzo thought he would need a lot of time to determine their locations, until he saw Floki's map. Only then did Lorenzo remember that he already had the exact coordinates.
Using Floki's map and the assistance of other maps, two maps with a huge time span overlapped in Lorenzo's mind, and he also drew a red cross on the superimposed position, thus excavating the huge holy silver mine. .
"So who is Floki Wilgdason?"
Kestrel asked again about the hidden story, but he was really curious. He had no impression of this man in his memory, and neither did anyone else, let alone those who went to the Silent Sea with Lorenzo.
But Lorenzo said that he was also one of the members, and emphasized that he played a major role in finding the holy silver mine.
But no one remembered him, and some people thought that Lorenzo was suffering from delusion, but Lorenzo became very stubborn until Floki Wilgdason's name was written into the files of the purge agency.
He will be remembered, albeit by a very small minority.
"A...person I don't know either."
Lorenzo thought hard and then answered helplessly.
Antimemetics took away everything, and for this reason Lorenzo sometimes felt deep fear. He was afraid that he would forget something, the people around him, his mission, or even those more precious things.
When he thought of this, he felt great fear, and then anger.
"It's the same as if you didn't say it."
Kestrel called.
"I can't help it. Apart from this name and his achievements, I know nothing about him."
Lorenzo put the nail sword back into the box and picked up a few more bullets to watch. In order to satisfy Lorenzo's request, some specially made holy silver bullets also appeared here. Now Lorenzo is fully qualified to use them in various fields. The warhead is filled with holy silver to increase the lethality.
"Then the remaining weapons... what the Eternal Pump says is that only you can use these things. They are basically handmade, but they will be delivered to you before the God's birthday."
Kestrel thought of other things about himself and explained to Lorenzo.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry, these things are enough."
"Then there's Merlin's words. He invited you to come to the Eternal Pump. He said he wanted to discuss the details of the 'plan' with you."
"Plan?" Lorenzo remembered something, but it seemed that something had been forgotten, but he didn't care too much, "Okay, I see."
Kestrel stood up and found a way out of the crowded living room, finally stopping at the door.
"What are you going to do next?" Lorenzo suddenly stopped him and asked.
"First take a shower, clean yourself up, and then go to the hospital to see Shrike. He is dying. The doctor said he will not die. Even if he is discharged from the hospital, it may take a few months."
"Is that so..."
After hearing Kestrel's words, Lorenzo remembered that he hadn't seen the Shrike since he came back.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't done much since I came back so long, but time flies by so fast...
as if……
It was as if something had stolen days out of Lorenzo's life and he didn't even know it.
This feeling is like suffering an antimeme. You can't remember what you forgot, but Lorenzo's instinct reminded him of the strangeness.
"Lorenzo! Lorenzo!"
Kestrel shouted again, seeing Lorenzo gradually recovering, he asked.
"Are you really all right?"
Lorenzo looked at Kestrel, as if an electric current was flowing through his body, as if his soul had just taken over the body again.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little too tired recently, not very focused, and easily distracted."
Lorenzo rubbed his forehead, knowing that what he said was bullshit.
He is a demon hunter and an ascendant. His spirit has been strengthened to the extreme. He is extremely resistant to erosion and antimemes. How could someone like him lose his concentration?
Something must have happened...but Lorenzo couldn't remember it.
"Then I think it's time for you to relax completely."
Kestrel suddenly put his hand on Lorenzo's body, and this big-hearted guy actually believed Lorenzo's nonsense.
"Would you like to pick someone up at the train station in two days? It will definitely be lively."
"Who are you picking up?"
Lorenzo looked confused.
"Huh? I'm from Jiuxia!"
Kestrel took out a copy of today's newspaper from somewhere. Just like when the Sin Armor appeared in Old Dunling, this time a black and white photo occupied the entire page.
Lorenzo looked over and saw a large ship of wood and steel appearing on the sea outside the port of Rendona, with flags like flamingos hanging on it.
After many years, the people of Jiuxia once again stepped out of the Forgotten Great Wall and appeared in the Western world.
