The sudden appearance of the Nordro Company, the exiles of the Evangelical Church…
There are already enough strange things in Old Dunling now, but as if everyone had agreed, disturbing things keep appearing one after another.
Lorenzo had some impression of Shermans. Among those powerful cardinals, he was not noticeable. Compared with other cardinals, he was more like a true believer. Apart from performing his duties and praying every day, he had nothing else to do. Unexpectedly, he also became an exile and came to Old Dunling.
"The Evangelical Church has begun to split. These exiles can be exchanged for a considerable reward in the hands of the new pope. Of course, we care more about cooperation than reward."
Oscar said to Lorenzo that he had high expectations for Lorenzo.
"What about the clues? You should know better than me how big Old Dunling is. If Shermans is hiding somewhere, it will be difficult for me to find him."
Lorenzo asked, these cardinals are all smart people, and the fact that they can escape from the Seven Hills is enough to prove their caution and prudence.
"No, we suspect Shermans has helpers. His traces on the sea could not escape our Beidro's sight, but after he came ashore, he mysteriously disappeared. It seems that someone is helping him."
Oscar said, "This requires your free play."
Lorenzo hesitated for a moment, his eyes alert, "Aren't you afraid that I might do something out of line?"
"According to Inglvig's regulations, he is considered a stowaway." Oscar spread his hands.
"However, there is one thing that should be a clue for the investigation. Beideruo does not have many industries in the inland, and our power is limited, otherwise we would not have hired you. Shermans, an exile from a foreign land, was able to successfully enter Old Dunling and hide himself perfectly. Someone must be assisting him, and there are very few people who can do this in Old Dunling."
Lorenzo thought for a moment and replied, "I see."
"Don't be too anxious. This matter is just the icing on the cake for our cooperation with Florence. Don't force it. But if you really find him, you will get the benefits."
"Shermance..."
Lorenzo was not in a hurry to respond. It must be said that Oscar's case successfully attracted his attention. When the purpose of the mission was unclear, exiles who were opposed to the mission appeared, although from Lorenzo's point of view, they were not allies.
There was a high possibility that he would become the target of the diplomatic corps. Perhaps this time, he could take advantage of the dispute between them and the exiles.
The lost Book of Revelation, the reappearance of hallucinogens, the exiles and the mission, all of this is like a chaotic gambling game. Lorenzo has to use his only chips to win everything on the table... Winning everything may be too confident, but at least he can't lose too badly.
Lorenzo was worried about what to do next. According to the safest way, he should buy a boat ticket now and stay away from Old Dunling to avoid this dark vortex.
But Lorenzo is not a quiet lamb. He is eager to take risks. He has a strange premonition that a secret that will change everything is waiting for him, and once he leaves, he will never know the truth.
