Volume II: Steam Rhapsody 1882 Chapter 41 Death Express

But it was a difficult task to get through the heart of the war, and the flying stray bullets and the extraordinary people who met around the corner could kill them now.

Francis and Alice cautiously brushed the edge of the fire, trying to avoid unnecessary encounters.

Approaching a low wall that had been damaged by artillery fire, Alice thought about what she had observed along the way and said, "The Duchy Guard looks like they're retaking the city. ”

Francis was not surprised by this, the Brotherhood's plan to infiltrate Wales was detonated by them in advance, there were so many people in the Brotherhood, and the Welsh people did not want to give up their homeland easily.

If the advance of the Duchy Guard could continue until the Welsh army arrived, the Brotherhood would have been swept away, and perhaps the Messiah would not have intervened.

It wasn't until a few hours later that the battle line was frozen and the gunfire faded.

The Brotherhood of the Free has dismissed any attempt to attack, and they are ready to leave the area in the evening before the Welsh army can return to help.

After a period of careful approach, Francis and Alice arrive near the Queen's steam station, which is still under the control of the Brotherhood.

And the person standing next to the station in charge of evacuating was actually Solomon, who was not supposed to be here.

Solomon came here for a reason, and a few minutes after the fighting began, he received a secret call from May: "How did the Brotherhood shoot in Wales?" ”

Solomon, who was sitting in the chair, scratched his head and said, "There is a group of unknown people who have brought the supreme relic there, and the higher-ups want it, remember not to let Francis hang out in Wales recently." ”

"Guess why I contacted you?"

So after the grumpy Messiah asked her man to be brought back unharmed, Solomon rushed here as fast as he could.

Solomon looked at the city of Wales, where the news of the war was rising, and his mouth kept saying, "Francis, Francis, how can I find you." ”

He had tried to activate his extraordinary powers, using the ability of the Eye of the Guard to sense Francis's position, but Solomon was not advanced enough to resist the interference of the artillery.

I was worried for a while, after all, my old friend, if I couldn't find Francis, May's crazy woman would definitely send her with a gunboat to accompany Francis.

As soon as Francis, who was hiding in the shadows, saw Solomon, he knew that eighty percent of his old friends were here to help him.

Alice saw Francis's expression relaxed, and she had a hunch that he had something to do.

I saw Francis put away the black sword, completely ignoring the members of the surrounding brotherhood, and walked towards Solomon, who was looking at the direction of the city and worried.

Francis walked up to Solomon, saw that he was very involved in his world, and said, "As a friend, I think you should have a wayβ€”here I am, Solomon." ”

The Brotherhood members next to him noticed Francis as soon as they saw him enter, but seeing him swaggering towards Solomon, they thought that maybe it was his own, and because Francis used the shadow to subtly blur his face, the surrounding Brotherhood members did not recognize it, so they did not move.

Solomon turned his head suddenly, and was about to shout out, but when he saw that there were too many members of the brotherhood around, he hurriedly whispered: "Damn, brother, where is there really a lot of trouble, where is you, I am still worried about whether you are dead." ”

"Live well, find a way for me, the lady and I have to get out of here."

As soon as Francis finished speaking, Alice followed out of hiding, and then Francis pointed to the finger in the phantom bubble on Alice's hand and said, "Terrible errand, I can't delay, thank you back." ”

Solomon said that he had given it to him, and instructed Francis: "Hide your face in a moment, and follow the evacuation party to the steam train." Later on, you'll be on the edge of the mess, and you'll jump down together. ”

Solomon's purpose for finding Francis has been answered, so he signaled to start the train and leave here quickly, otherwise no one will think about it when the Welsh army comes.

Solomon led Francis and them through the procession of the Brotherhood neatly entering the train to their own compartment.

On the occasion of the reunion, Solomon asked Francis where he was going to take the finger, and said that he did not think it was a good thing.

Francis reasoned that it was difficult to say about this matter, but Solomon expressed his understanding, and that some things were really inconvenient to say, and he would not ask again.

"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a big battle."

Solomon was puzzled by the incident, and as a Welshman, he was already opposed to the operation. As a result, Solomon avoided infiltrating completely, unaware that the finger that Francis and Alice were carrying in front of him was a relic of the Old Gods.

But even if he knew, Solomon would have ensured the safety of his friend's life.

In addition, the Brotherhood actually has enough high-level extraordinary people to overthrow this place, and with Solomon's operation, his hometown has been preserved.

His reason is reasonable and sufficient, to dispatch the apex extraordinary, that is, to wait for the people in the black temple to intervene, and the church will directly launch a complete purge, which will not outweigh the losses.

As the train whistled and saw the edge of the Messiah, Solomon said goodbye to Francis and the others, "When I can go back to Wales, I will come to the Messiah, and by the way, your mother-in-law should be nearby to meet you." ”

Francis thanked Solomon again and jumped off the speeding steam train with Alice.

Solomon's words were correct, and May was answering them not far away with his apostles.

Seeing that Francis was safe and sound, May finally relented and said, "That guy Solomon is pretty useful. ”

"Solomon has helped us a lot, and we'll thank him again."

Seeing that Francis did not plan to return to the Messiah, May expressed puzzlement: "Where else are you going?" ”

While Francis asked the Apostle to prepare an armed airship, since the plan to get the train to the hunting ground no longer worked, Francis explained to May: "Go to the old place of Heeron,"

After listening to this, Mei took out an invitation letter and confirmed: "Is it because of this?" ”

It was an invitation written by the Grand Duke of Europa himself, and if May was not mistaken, it was an invitation to the Evening Rites.

May only thought that this was the gratitude of the Grand Duke of Europa to Francis for his last errand, but the wording was strange, inviting His Majesty Francis and his family or something.

It's just that Francis said that he would go with Alice, but he didn't say that he would let May follow.

Mei smiled without warmth;

Directly tore up the invitation in front of everyone and said, "You can't go anywhere." ”
