In the quiet space, countless bookshelves surrounded the huge round table. Lorenzo sat on one side, while Arthur and Merlin sat on the other far side. The distance between them seemed unreachable.
The nose is filled with stale smells, telling of the antiquity of this place, like a bard's silent singing, expressing his thoughts.
Lorenzo slowly leaned back in his chair, feeling a little surprised and a little shocked.
Alchemy is a word that has almost disappeared in the long river of history. It is the most secret wisdom of the old times. Every alchemist guards his own knowledge and records them on cursed parchment scrolls with complex code books. Therefore, no one can understand them after they die. Thus, the glorious alchemy gradually died out due to the changes of the times and the stubbornness of the alchemists.
Nowadays, this technology is only vaguely mentioned in some folk legends, and there are not many people in the world who truly understand it.
But now a living alchemist was sitting in front of him, and he was also the chief technical officer of the perpetual motion pump.
Lorenzo had already put away his contempt and his face was solemn. He knew too well the value of an alchemist.
"So, the person who really wants to see me is... you?"
Merlin nodded, his hoarse voice ringing out.
"To be precise, we are here for your inference. Joey has repeated your idea, and we think this is a possibility."
Possibilities, this was something Lorenzo had talked about with Joey earlier in 121A Cork Street.
According to Joey, there has been a demon committing crimes in Jiudunling during this period, and judging from the trajectory of its actions, it can be clearly determined that the demon has retained his sanity.
The Geiger counter cannot detect the actions of the demon. It is just like Lorenzo. As long as the secret blood calms down, it will not have any corrosiveness from the demon. In other words, the demon that has been moving may be a demon hunter.
Lorenzo and Joey both thought of this at the time. This was no small matter. The overall combat effectiveness of the demon hunters could be seen from Lorenzo's strength alone. Moreover, after Lancelot's pursuit, everyone judged that the demon was dead, but the subsequent report from the scavenger team showed that they did not find the body of the demon in the steam well.
So is there a possibility that the one who had been killing people was a demon hunter? Only the demon hunter could escape the surveillance of the Peeper system. Only the demon hunter could withstand so many attacks without dying. He even did not die in the steam well, but just calmed down his secret blood and left from another place.
An unknown demon hunter appeared in Old Dunling, combined with the news of the new Pope of the Evangelical Church and the reconstruction of the demon hunting cult, it was simply chilling.
"It's just a possibility."
Lorenzo affirmed.
"That thing is not a demon hunter, at least not a demon hunter within the Demon Hunting Cult."
"Do you have any internal method for determining identity?"
Arthur asked slowly.
"It's not a method of judgment, but the demon hunters are basically dead. Even if there are survivors, they will hide away honestly instead of doing some damn revenge killing."
