Volume 2 Steam Rhapsody 1882 Chapter 33 The Shadow Meeting

Returning to the chapel, Francis received the large bag of payment from Adrian, and Francis carried the heavy bag, and couldn't help but say that this was the only thing that had been reassuring for a long time.

Alice suddenly interjected, signaling that Adrian should go to the Grand Duke of Europa to tell him about the completion of the errand, Adrian nodded after hearing this, and left Francis and Alice here alone.

Francis asked, leaning against the high platform; "What are you doing with Adrian?"

Alice turned around, lit the incense candle in her hand at the same time, and said silently; "Nothing, except that you of the Golden Dawn should meet Mr. Francis, the Mechanic."

Francis frowned, and was about to ask Alice what she meant, but in the blink of an eye, she fell into a burst of anesthesia.

In the swirling days, Francis found himself and Alice dreaming into a dark area, with only a large round table with many incense candles lit on it—exactly the same as the one Alice had just lit.

Many people sat in front of the round table, but their faces were hidden in the dark by a special kind of hat with the help of shadows.

Everyone's face was covered, including Alice, and only Francis's face was 'open'.

"Alice, is this the mechanic you highly recommend?"

Everyone looked at Francis and remembered his face in their minds.

Alice smiled politely and said without being humble or arrogant; "Not badly at all, besides, the honorable Mr. Francis has shown me his great skill, and Mr. Planck has no objection."

Another member of the Golden Dawn said regretfully; "How did this guy spin off the phoenix to that little prince, believe it or not, I'm willing to exchange everything for a base potion now." With that, he stretched out his index finger, and the dazzling blue flame burned on his finger.

Through the shadows, the member looked at Francis without looking away.

When Francis saw his performance, he was amazed at the level of advancement of this extraordinary derivation, Adrian had just mutated, and compared to this person, it seemed like heaven and earth.

But now that we're here, Francis thinks we can talk about the Steam Blueprint.

He looked around at the circle of people and said calmly; "I need information on the blueprint of the Extraordinary Machine Three, the sooner the better."

"Ah, he's a mechanic, and a 'nostalgic' guy who plays steam and alchemy."

"Let me think... I heard about it one hundred and seventy-five years ago, and I don't know if the guy is still alive now, but I think the next meeting can give you some words. ”

Hearing this, Francis realized that most of the people sitting in front of them now were terrible old guys. But the voice sounds so young, it seems that it is not difficult for them to stay ageless.

Francis couldn't help but start to wonder about Alice's age, so he asked Alice's age in a whisper, and Alice made a silent gesture and said with a smile; "It's rude to inquire about the lady's age, but for the sake of your kindness to me." Alice finished speaking, holding up two fingers.

Two hundred, Francis has a feeling that maybe Alice will say less.

On the other hand, according to the principle of courtesy, they would also make some requests to Francis, but when Francis came for the first time, they unanimously decided to give him some time to adapt to this place.

"Is there anything else you want, mechanic, the newcomer benefits are just a meeting time."

When the members of Golden Dawn heard this joke, they all smiled with deep understanding, and they all wanted to tell themselves that they had come here for the first time, please speak up.

Otherwise, in the future, you will have a headache by begging these young old fritters to do things.

Francis was not polite, and offered to recover the remains of the monsters that had been hunted by the people present.

As for the fact that the function is to be used as fuel for the moon house, Francis did not mention it explicitly, after all, he knew the moon house from the beginning, and it is better never to know if he didn't know.

Regarding Francis's two requests, the members of Golden Dawn readily agreed, after all, Francis's request was very simple and achievable. I vaguely remember that the first request that someone made after joining here was to enjoy himself as King of Helen for seven days.

Later, the man did not want to come back because he felt that the king's seat was too comfortable, and was finally killed on the throne.

In the end, the rest of them said that the meeting would come here first, and that they would have a lot to do next time, and that they had a lot to do.

Alice then dispelled the fog of hallucinogenic incense candles, and Francis found himself lying on the floor of the Great Hall.

"How's the first meeting, Mr. Francis?"

Francis got back on his feet, noncommittal. After all, a group of extraordinary people who don't know how old they are, most of the time staring at the only one who shows their faces.

Francis didn't know, in fact, they were just curious, what happened to the new king I himself, who had been in the dust for a long time in the dust of Tibea?

He packed up his reward bag and made a gesture to get on his horse to return to the Messiah, but was about to leave when Alice stopped him.

Alice casually summoned a dream contact point, and on the other side of the illusion was the Messiah—although it was not as advanced as the Moon House and there was a certain risk of failure, it was already a rare cheap teleportation option, and Francis was not in the Moon House yet.

"Goodbye, Mr. Francis, we'll meet later, I mean next time."

Francis rode in on wheat straw and replied to Alice's farewell without looking back; "There will be a date later, but remember to cover my face next time."

The point of contact shrank and closed, and Francis rode back to the Messiah on the straw, but the exact location seemed somewhat surprising.

At this time, Mei, who was reading a book in the bedroom of the Messey Mansion and preparing to rest early, saw such a scene.

First, a colorful rainbow illusion appeared, and then Francis appeared in front of his bed out of thin air on a tall horse with a large bag next to the saddle with something in it.

Francis paused for a moment, and May didn't react for a while.

Perhaps to break the inexplicable silence, Francis patted the straw on the head and introduced May; "Uh, May, this is my new fast horse, you can call him Wheat Grass."

May threw the book she was reading in Francis's face, thinking that Francis had not only failed to do his errand, but had also run away to bet on horses.

Francis dodged the flying book and explained the reason in general, and May understood what had happened.

But about the Golden Dawn, Francis chooses not to mention it at first, just telling May that she has found a 'serious job' to do, because if May knew about it, it would bring unnecessary trouble to her and her children.

Some things still don't know as well.
