Volume 2 Steam Rhapsody 1882 Chapter 20 The First Transformation
A few days later, Tsukiya had already built the initial model of the second machine, and the monk's robe had invited Francis.
Inside the Moon House, Francis caressed the small, metallic machine, about the size of a man's heart, and he was about to take the first step in his alchemical transformation.
Mei, who was sitting on the side, repeatedly confirmed the safety of the transformation to the apostles, bowed and said; "There will be no surprises, I assure you."
"First of all, after the alchemy operation, the respected male master will have a second heart, and the primary mechanical heart can provide power for the operation of other powerful and destructive alchemy devices in the future, and his own physical fitness will also be greatly improved."
With that, the robes took out their specially advanced Ffister musket and rigid sword, which had been transformed into a large twin-shot firearm, except for the increased caliber, and was covered with a new red pattern of alchemy enhancements. Only the butt of the gun was not changed, it was only painted black, and the engraving of Pfister's name did not move at all.
On the other hand, the sword blade was directly rebuilt from the remains of Sasuke's distortion, the most suitable black metal in the Moon House, and a small atomizer was added on a very microscopic scale, which allowed the quenched potion and sword oil to exert more power. What is particularly significant is that the monk's robe specially ordered his subordinates to engrave a line on the back of the sword; "Solomon's Gift."
It may be said that Francis is a man with a strong nostalgia complex, and everything in his hands has a story to tell, and all of them are commemorated.
With the power of the mechanical heart, the first-order alchemy-transformed Pfister musket and sword will be as swift and powerful as Zeus's lightning.
"I'm ready."
Francis didn't say anything more, and regardless of May's side, he took off his clothes and lay down on the slightly brightly lit platform, with a small moon floating in the moon house above his head.
May didn't make a fuss, and then put away the clothes that Francis had thrown aside and prepared to wash them, but the blouse was either metal powder or the green blood of the demon bird, and Mei had no hope of washing it.
It didn't make sense for her to keep watching, and Mei once again warned her to make sure that the renovation was safe, and then left the moon house and returned to the study.
Packing up the paper documents accumulated on the desktop in the past few days, Mei reviewed the emails one by one; Well... The Cupid Factory has been handed over and needs to sign the attached confirmation letter, the letter from the slut Alice about when to meet, the daily sharing of the church of the little prince Adrian, the black and white photo of the idiot Solomon himself holding the corpse of a monster that he had just hunted and giving a thumbs up...
One by one, replying or signing, and spending hours disposing of most of the clutter, May noticed something different.
What is it?
A business invitation from Adrian's father, the Prince, "Invitation to Utopia Enterprises", May put on gold-rimmed glasses and read it carefully.
By the time Mayta was on behalf of the Messiah, Francis's transformation had been completed, his pupils had turned hazy gray, his limbs were spreading with tiny lines of steam, and only faint blue threads could be seen to the naked eye.
Francis could clearly feel the beating of his other heart, the mechanical heart. For the first time in human history, the guy with two hearts was born.
He changed to a black coat to hide the wound marks left on his chest by his alchemy transformation. When he walked into the study, May was wearing gold-rimmed glasses to sign some of the last contracts.
"How's it going?"
May looked up and saw that it was Francis, and was relieved to see that he had successfully renovated, "Everything else is trivial, but the prince sent a business invitation, and his friend bought a forest for hunting, but it turned out that it was not very clean. First, a bunch of Extraordinaires took over the Hunter's Hut inside, and then created a bunch of monsters to terrorize him. ”
It seems that the prince has used the Utopia Enterprise as a guild of bounty hunters, but they do lack the money to maintain their families, and the main thing is that they can collect the remains of those monsters as energy and throw them into the Star Forge.
Francis pulled a chair over from May, sat across from May at May's desk, and asked; "What about the requirements and remuneration?"
"Five hundred gold riel, the price is attractive. All you need to do is take a trip to the hilly regions of the Duchy of Helen to find the Lord of Europa, teach the guys who rob the place, and then cleanse them of the monsters. ”
"I have no reason to refuse."
Francis gestured to get up, but May pulled him by the collar and kissed Francis on the lips, Francis had never seen such a sudden farewell kiss.
The taste of warm lips is sweeter than fairy grass.
At last, May loosened Francis's collar and said with great seriousness; "Don't get into trouble this time, and go home with your ass done on an errand - Adrian and Alice have been invited to hunt together, and you can meet her there."
Francis nodded, slung the Advanced First musket behind his back, placed the sword into the newly created scabbard at his waist, and picked up the many enhancement potions that May had blended for him and placed them on his body.
Mei didn't look at him anymore, lowered her head and continued to work on the remaining papers, but just admonished; "Go home before the next full moon."
"That's a lot of time, I hope things don't go so wrong this time." Francis said in a joking tone.
With that, Francis, who was ready to go, pushed open the door of the Moon House and found the Infinity Gate that led to the target location of the Duchy of Heeron.
The apostles who passed by saluted and offered all sorts of blessings, but in general they all wished Francis a safe journey.
Pull down the switch next to the door, the star furnace roars, the small moon accelerates its rotation, and the horizontal and vertical disks of the surrounding space rotate like a three-dimensional control of the Rubik's Cube.
A few minutes later, the door of the rest hut next to a wheat field in the southeast of the Duchy of Hillen was opened, and Francis pushed the door open in the moon house.
After an hour's hike along the endless wheat fields, Francis realized that something was wrong, the Duchy of Hillen existed nestled in the Hillen Mountains, and the plain wheat fields were only found far from the target location.
Francis opens the map - and sure enough, something goes wrong and the Infinity Gate is wrong.
He was now at least a hundred miles away from the private hunting grounds of the Grand Duke of Europa, and Francis put away his map with a depressed look on his face and asked the farmer next to him for directions.
"Hey, old man, do you know how to get to the Hillen Mountains?"
The farmer looked at Francis, who was wearing a black coat on his back, his eyes were foggy gray, carrying a double-shot large-caliber musket, and carrying a cold black sword at his waist—he screamed and threw away his farm tools and ran away.
Francis paused for a moment, put away his map, and continued aimlessly on his way, somewhat annoyed.
