Volume II: Rhapsody of Steam 1882 Chapter 31: The Balance of Good and Evil

"Who are you?"

The Grand Duke of Europa raised his eyes and looked at Francis, and Alice hurriedly introduced; "Sir, this is Mr. Francis."

The Grand Duke of Europa stood up and asked why this guy Francis came so late? A few days later, the group of cultists is not going to throw the monster on their bed.

Sitting next to the Grand Duke of Europa was none other than the little prince Adrian, whom he had not seen for a long time, and Francis saw that he was almost cured.

"Alright, Mr. Europa, maybe Francis is in trouble on the road."

Adrian looked at Francis, who had been reunited for a long time, and smiled and rounded the scene for him.

Francis was so calm that he didn't take the anger of the Grand Duke of Europa to heart at all, so he didn't care if the monster would jump on the bed, so he calmly explained; "I passed through Akita Town, a place with a great view of wheat fields, and I was in trouble and delayed for a few days."

When the Grand Duke of Europa heard this, his nose was exhaled, as if he remembered something unpleasant; "Akita Town? I've always wanted to give it to someone else, because the people there have always resisted the church's governance, and it's also very troublesome for me. ”

The Grand Duke of Europa's words to Akita were very unpleasant to Francis, but because of the five hundred gold riel, Francis decided to continue with the grumpy fellow.

The other side turned his head to Adrian and asked in a whisper; "Is this mud leg reliable, it doesn't look like a high-level extraordinary, your father didn't find the wrong person."

Adrian shook his head and reassured the Grand Duke of Europa that Francis was definitely the best candidate.

Seeing Adrian's sworn appearance, the Grand Duke of Europa lowered his guard and turned to small talk; "You're a Messiah, aren't you? Wales is rich in women and steel, and this guy won't let him carry much gold in his pocket when he sees his wife. Let's give him an extra bounty first, and the other people in the province will say that I am stingy in entertaining guests in Europa. ”

Alice smiled secretly when she heard that Francis was not allowed to bring much Kinreel, which really made the Grand Duke of Europa right, but Alice felt that Francis definitely not going to eat this, such as stretching out his hands and putting down his face to receive the money.

So she took the bounty on Francis's behalf and thanked her.

Francis tried to explain that he wasn't married—at least not yet—but he was afraid that the atmosphere would get darker and darker, and he had to accept the unfriendly joke even more unpleasantly.

For Elsa, for five hundred gold reel, Francis comforted himself so much.

Francis now felt that Solomon was so right that the rich deserved to die.

Adrian picked up the conversation and greeted Francis; "It's good to see you, Mr. Francis, and I hope the Brotherhood of the Free hasn't done anything too much to you and Miss May."

"Nothing was done, or it was more appropriate not to do it."

Seeing them reminiscing, the Archduke of Europa didn't bother to be a light bulb here, and told Adrian to urge Francis to finish his errand as soon as possible, and he would come back tomorrow, and the king was going to come here to hunt together in winter, so these cultists who occupied the land needed to die as soon as possible.

The Grand Duke of Europa walked outside, got into the noble symbol of the steam car, stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.

Alice made tea for Francis, placed it beside him and asked about what had happened in the Forest of Horror lately, and said; "The Golden Dawn knew something remarkable in the eyes of the Church, and a fellow named Francis inherited the crown and crowned the new King I of Thebea. But he doesn't seem to realize this and refuses to take the crown, so you seem to be the only one named Francis here, right? ”

Adrian's jaw dropped when he heard this, and said; "Debya? That's what my father would talk about only once in a while, and the title wasn't high enough to seem worthy of the word Tibia. ”

Francis explained, looking puzzled; "I rejected Elizabeth, the church is mistaken."

Even knowing the ruined angel's real name, it seems that there can't be a mistake, so Alice smiles meaningfully and asks Francis if the legendary princess has held the crown to him.

Francis looked back and realized that there was such a thing.

Alice smiled knowingly, gracefully picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, and said to Adrian meaningfully; "It's amazing, even the Archduke of Europa has to sacrifice his knees, and the new king is right before our eyes."

Francis thought he had no title or nobility, but the news of the new king of Tibia had now spread throughout the princes and nobles of the royal city.

Alice quickly explained that even if Francis rejected Elizabeth, the first princess in line to the throne had effectively transitioned to him by holding the crown, after all, the golden crown that cost the lives of hundreds of high-ranking hunters was etched with the name of Francis Messiah with black feathers.

Francis hadn't realized what that meant, as it didn't mean much to his seemingly ethereal coronation at the moment.

No amount of the heavy crown could keep Elsa fed, and the church kept the crown, which in Francis's eyes was also a sign of respect for Elizabeth.

In any case, there is no need for the Golden Crown to follow Francis into the quagmire of this world, please give Elizabeth and Thebia rest, this is Francis's wish.

"Let's stop here, let's talk about this errand, I'm more concerned about this."

In addition to earning money to support his family, Francis also had to figure out the matter of the Golden Dawn, and Planck felt very uncomfortable seeing through him, and Francis had never been so uncomfortable.

"It shouldn't be a problem for you, it won't take long to find the hunter's hut on horseback. As for how to punish them, you can do it, those guys have pitiful things and unforgivable crimes. ”

Francis asked, puzzled; "What is both pitiful and unforgivable."

Alice put down the teacup and said after a dilemma; "On the one hand, at first they lost their original home here because of the hunting grounds, and they had to survive in the taiga. On the other hand, after they began to believe in unknown things, they began to take innocent people and make sacrifices. ”

This is a very classic dilemma in this world, when the victim and the victim are embodied in the same soul at the same time, how to judge.

As for how to sacrifice, Alice didn't say, but you can think about where those aberrant monsters used to intimidate the Grand Duke of Europa came from.

"Oh my God..."

Francis patted his head and said with a long sigh.

Alice picked up the teacup again and said before taking a second sip of tea; "The choice is yours, Mr. Francis, and no one will judge your final decision."

Francis stopped joking about adding money, and he began to put weight on the scales of his mind to the good and evil sides of the cultists.
