Volume II: Steam Rhapsody 1882 Chapter 37: May Valentina
"There are abandoned factories in the industrial areas of Wales, and there will be no unlucky passers-by who will become monsters, even if they are destroyed."
"No problem, just block the industrial zone."
Alice brings up another issue to be aware of, which is that since the last encounter between Francis and Solomon, the Brotherhood of the Free has been based in Wales through infiltration.
They won't be unaware of the power engine this time, Golden Dawn wants something stuck in the power machine, and the Brotherhood wants it too.
One of the members of the Golden Dawn asked, as if he had been in hiding for a long time; "What fraternity? I've never heard of it, so it's better to kill them all. ”
Alice patted the table and reminded; "Silence is needed until the golden dawn falls and the walls fall, do you want to raze Wales to the ground?"
Francis's final proposal was approved, that is, Alice and Francis should deal with it, if the Brotherhood has to rob it, and in the worst case they are unable to stop it, then let it be given to them, so that the church will find out about them all the way in the future.
Seeing that it was finally settled, Francis left the Shadows directly.
When he opened his eyes again, Francis found himself lying on the large bed in May's room for some reason, and May was kneeling beside Francis reading a book.
It was a complete book about alchemy and harmony, found in the large library of the Moon House, and it contained many recipes that she had never heard of.
Mei had rarely read so many books before, and at that time she was quick to move and could walk, but now she can only lament the drastic changes in her life.
Seeing Francis open his eyes, May crawled up to Francis and said in a reproachful tone;
"Awake? You've been drinking a lot. ”
After being informed, Francis learned that she had been found lying in the moon house by May talking in her sleep, some Welsh industrial area and other things, and finally she asked the apostles to carry Francis here.
Francis was afraid for a while when he heard this, but fortunately it was May, and if someone with a heart heard it, it might cause a disaster.
"Rare indulgence."
Francis looked into May's eyes and said faintly.
Escaping death and struggling with the blood of monsters countless times may be the norm for Francis in the future.
The opportunity for deep relaxation can be linked to the busyness, and as Francis himself said, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is rare to indulge.
Francis thought that she would disturb May's reading here, after all, she seemed very serious and often read for hours at a time.
But this does not mean that Mei has become a gentle lady, in essence, Mei is still Mei, similar to a part of the personality is napping, but there will always be a day when you wake up.
May put down her book and sat on the bed watching Francis's every move.
It seems that Francis did not understand that May wanted to do more than just talk here, otherwise she could have just asked the Apostle to throw Francis back in his own room.
Francis stood up and told her to continue reading, ready to go out and return to her room, but after a few twists the door lock, it only creaked and could not be opened.
Looking back, May was sitting on the bed looking at him with a confused look, holding the key to the door in her hand, with no intention of letting Francis open the door and go out.
Francis tried to open the door several more times, but all failed, and finally lay down beside May, and said helplessly; "I want to say, the door won't open."
With that, he looked at the key in May's hand.
May lay on her side beside Francis with her face in her arms, and said softly in a soft voice;
"I know."
"Your key..."
Mei said knowingly; "What key?"
Francis can't get out of this door, at least not tonight.
Since Mei lived in the mansion, the experience and dependence along the way have been completely embedded with them.
Francis's lifeline is May's lifeline.
Mei didn't know when she had an answer to a question in her heart, if there would be a lady in the Moon House of Messiah, it would not be a mysterious witch, and it would not be a noble daughter who could sing and dance;
It can only be herself, May Valentina.
In other words, it is more appropriate to change her husband's surname to Mae Messiah.
Having been a fact that no longer needed to be rebutted, Francis breathed a sigh of relief, he could no longer ignore May's eyes.
May sat up and undressed and unhurriedly removed it, and Francis understood what it meant to be a woman's dominant beauty.
In the slightly dim but soft light, May looked at Francis and said in an intoxicating tone: "Why should others call me in the future?" ”
"Lady Messiah."
"That's right..."
May's last sentence was small, almost whispered, but the tone was unmistakable, and she was satisfied with Francis's answer.
Later, Francis voluntarily lets instinct swallow up his reason for the first time, as May whispers in the ears of each other's breathing, please let Francis enjoy his own booty.
Let fate intertwine, and the god of love will also answer, and from then on, Francis will not be alone in the face of death that cinches him.
When Francis left the mansion the next day and went out through the moon house, all the memories of the previous night were covered with the warm breath that May had sprayed on him.
This time, Francis rode wheat straw to the outside of Alice's dream shop.
Francis patted the wheat straw on the head, it seems that it is better to go out with it in the future, and the fast horse is tantamount to abuse if he is confined for too long. And as for the saddle, Francis replaced the brand new one that the mayor had given him.
After removing the power core, which was small for a power machine, Francis walked into the Dream Shop with the tightly guarded power core and went to find Alice.
But Francis walked in and found that Alice was interpreting and guiding the dream of the newly arrived customer at the moment, and it seemed that she had to wait for a while.
The atmosphere of the shop was dimly lit, except for the faint light of the candles lit in front of Alice, and the ceiling was a wandering dream vision.
The patron closes his eyes with Alice in a very gypsy-like ceremony.
Aware that Francis had walked in, Alice still had her eyes closed, but said softly; "Put things aside and wait a while."
Francis is tempted to say that Alice's divination is not necessarily reliable, after all, Alice threw him directly into Adrian's attic during the first encounter.
As he waited, Francis saw the old book in the display case again.
"How did you get that book, Alice?"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Francis, you can't be disturbed now."
Francis stopped talking, walked into the display case, and began to look more closely at the incomparably old book.
The unfolded pages are almost discrete, not to mention the large areas of yellowing and chipping.
Although he couldn't read it, Francis still read the whole chapter as he tried to, and at this moment, as if sensing that Francis had finished reading, the book turned another page on its own.
Well, Francis understands this phenomenon all too well, and the book is 90% alive.
Francis was about to turn around and ask Alice if she could understand the language, but in a split second she remembered that Alice had told her not to disturb herself, so she turned back and continued to stare at the display case.
Alice was in the store earnestly performing a dream-making ritual for customers, and Francis on the other side looked at the book and turned page after page by herself, and time passed quietly.
