Alice stepped on the staircase released by the drivetrain and walked briskly into the Queen Victoria.

After confirming that all the passengers were on board, the apostle on deck waved the signal flag, and the afterburner Helios power machine sent them into the clouds at high speed.

It won't be long before they can fly to the borders of Helen.

The space inside the airship was huge, and Alice was nearly lost on the upper deck, and it took a lot of effort to find Francis.

In the control room, Francis said that her fingers were sealed in a special container to ensure safety, and Alice was able to free her mind that had been tense.

Alice pressed her sore wrist and asked Francis, "I can see why you don't think about extraordinary power." ”

After all, anyone who owns the Moon House, the Alchemy Transformation and the Steel Behemoth will make you suddenly realize that the steam alchemy that humans can rely on is far more lethal and reliable than extraordinary power.

Francis replied only: "Extraordinary power is an undeniable miracle, but when I see it distorting and devouring humanity, I feel that we must be on the wrong track." ”

And the responsibility given to him by Festa is to repair the end of this road, or to open another way.

Staring too highly, Francis understands the insignificance of human beings.

But the vast majority of Alice's representatives still believe that extraordinary power simply needs to be used properly; "We just don't fully understand how to use him, you've seen Planck, Mr. Francis, he's a reasonable solution."

Francis was noncommittal, and said to Alice with a calm expression: "Perhaps, but we will eventually face the Supreme, and you will understand when you gaze at them." ”

Alice's mention of Planck leaves Francis with one last ounce of hope for extraordinary power.

Odd idea mechanic, Alice thought.

The two no longer exchanged views, and Francis pulled the switch to set the course and led Alice out of the control room.

Through a large and long hallway, they entered the red-decorated rest room.

I have to admit that the monk's robe still understands the pursuit of human comfort in life, and makes this place the style of a luxury room in the train.

The soft red sofa sits next to the glass with a view of the boat, while the bedroom is separated from the inside.

When they walked in, Mei was sitting on the couch, with freshly brewed black tea on the iron table in the middle.

Francis sat next to May, and Alice was across from her, and as soon as they were seated, May lifted the teapot and poured black tea for them.

When Alice took a sip, she was surprised and said, "Madam, the black tea tastes great." ”

Mei expressed her gratitude for her appreciation, which she had learned from reading books, and that she had not drunk a sip of black tea before coming to the Messiah.

Francis saw May staring at the newspaper as they came in, and asked, "Is there any big news?" ”

"There's nothing to say, Hillen's newspaper has always been boring, but the Archduke of Europa's evening party is actually on it, so let's take a look."

What May didn't mention was that there were many performers and circuses going there, and even many of the church's senior pastors.

The taste of luxury, May sighed inwardly, who would have thought that our poor Francis family could attend a high-class ceremony.

At that moment, the apostles knocked on the door and said to Francis, "Sir, we have accidentally discovered that Mr. Solomon is hiding in the engine floor, and he is here now. ”

After the apostle finished speaking, Solomon touched the back of his head and walked in with an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry, I want to wait until Sheren is ready to surprise you." ”

Then Solomon unceremoniously sat down next to Alice, ignored May's gaze, rudely took the teapot and poured himself a lot, and drank it all.

"Harm, Mei's craftsmanship is still so good!"

After sighing, Solomon explained that he had gotten the gossip on the train that Francis had been invited to a noble ceremony, and that he jumped off the train and spent some time blending into the airship.

Francis went to the rich man's ceremony, and he couldn't be taken with him.

Mei glanced at Solomon, smiled helplessly and said nothing, to be honest, she had begun to get used to this rude but righteous fellow.

At the same time, Francis noticed that Solomon's pupils had become very different than before, splitting into two, and there were some strange lines spreading on his body.

Francis already knew what to expect, looked up, and asked Solomon, "When is the advanced second-order mutation?" ”

"After giving the Brotherhood some credit, you can get the base potion and other things needed for mutations, and the second-order characteristic of the Grey Guard is this pupil, which looks a bit like a snake."

After that, Solomon turned around and found Alice, the witch who had fled with Francis, next to him, so he greeted her.

Alice's smile was reluctant, for Solomon was so close, and he didn't seem to realize it at all.

Alice, who is more than 200 years old, actually rose again with a girl's shame.

Such a guy is actually in line with the derivation of the Grey Guard, after all, when others mention the Grey Guard, they will subconsciously fantasize about the Plate Knight guarding the gate of the Black Temple in the eternal night, and Alice couldn't help but look at Solomon twice.

"What about you, Francis, haven't you found enough materials to advance your transformation?"

Faced with Solomon's question, Francis shrugged his shoulders and said not yet.

The advancement of the advanced mechanical heart is only a lack of energy, and the advanced alchemy transformation of the Black Gang Sword and the Pfister musket, the Apostle said that the legendary blueprint is needed, and Francis can only hope that the future Shadow Meeting can get some through trading.

Everyone passed the time between you and me, and Alice was the first to retire to sleep, and then they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Late at night, May's warm body clung to Francis, but Francis never fell asleep because he was thinking about his future plans.

Suddenly, Francis's mind heard Alice's dream transmission: "Mr. Francis, are you friends with Solomon?" ”

Francis naturally replied that he was right.

"He really doesn't look like a Grey Guard."

"No one said he looked like, but he was."

"It's rare to see such a unique Grey Guard."

Francis began to realize that something was wrong, as Alice's tone seemed to be over and over again.

Francis simply began to pretend to be asleep, ruthlessly avoiding the intellectual curiosity of an old woman, who had enough trouble.

Early the next morning, Solomon stood on the bow of the upper deck of the Queen Victoria, looking out over the borders of the Duchy of Hieron.

He said expectantly, "Heron, the paradise of wheat and demons..."

The airship broke through the clouds and began to fly at low altitude, and Solomon was momentarily surprised to see the scenery that greeted him, and the Queen Victoria was carrying them over cities and towns of different styles.

They were about to reach the Central Mountains.
