"An invisible force that exists everywhere and limits our understanding of the world... I once told Merlin about this thing. I think it can be called a boundary."
As Lorenzo spoke, the warm hall seemed to become cold and quiet, and Arthur felt a little uneasy, as if something strange was about to happen.
"Think about it carefully, everyone. Isn't it like this? Humans have existed for such a long time, but we only have records of recent history. So what were we doing before that, and what were the demons doing?"
Lorenzo began his speech.
"Arthur, Your Majesty, you have been fighting against demons for so long, but have you ever thought about this? The demons we hunt are essentially monsters transformed from humans. In other words, during the millennium we humans have been fighting against demons, we have actually been fighting against another group of humans."
This is a horrible truth.
"Another group of demonized humans are fighting. This hatred has lasted for who knows how long. Fundamentally, it is just a civil war among humans."
All was silent, except for Lorenzo's voice which continued to echo.
"In fact, all of this is like a plague, except that this plague does not kill humans, but turns them into monsters called demons. So, where is the source of all this? Where is the [Patient Zero] who caused all this?"
“The Holy Grail.”
Arthur said in a deep voice, this was the information Lorenzo had given, that the Gospel Church had captured the source of demons, the existence called the [Holy Grail].
"No, this is a lie, a lie of Lorenzo Medici," Lorenzo rejected it directly. "We have all been deceived by him. We still don't know the source of all this, and the so-called [Holy Grail] is just another more terrifying monster."
"As for the fake Holy Grail...
Please forgive me, Arthur, and your majesty, please forgive me for explaining all this in such a veiled way. You should also know that erosion is memetic, and it can be spread through all media that can carry "information". Perhaps when I say all this, you will be eroded by the information carried by my words. "
Arthur's expression darkened. He realized the thorny nature of the matter. This kind of thing should not be done rashly. Moreover, this was the Platinum Palace and Queen Victoria was not far in front of Lorenzo.
"Let's stop here for today!"
Arthur suggested. He was very alert. Once what Lorenzo said was true, once this information caused erosion, inexplicable terror would directly descend upon this Platinum Palace.
"No, go on, Mr. Holmes."
The queen still had that peaceful smile on her face, as if nothing could shake her mind.
"But… "
Arthur tried to explain the potential crisis, but then the Queen interrupted him.
"The Purification Agency was directly appointed and established by the Victorian royal family. I know the horror of demons better than you do. Don't worry about me."
Seeing the queen was so persistent, Arthur didn't know what to say, so Lorenzo continued.
"The Gospel Church used the [Holy Grail] to develop the [False Holy Grail]. No... to be more precise, they learned about the [False Holy Grail]. The [False Holy Grail] is essentially a piece of information about the [Border]. The name is just a misleading one used to deceive people.
