Rather than rushing to find Francis, Richard, with a small steam engine on his back, is now admiring the intricate interior of the Queen Victoria as if he were visiting a museum, which is a feast for a wandering mechanic who is just getting a glimpse of the door.

The apostles he met from time to time made Richard's inner amazement even better, and he thought that this was a mechanical servant with a soul.

He noticed the lightning bolt symbol on the barrier, and couldn't help but say, "So you are the owner of the Utopia mega-corporation, Mr. Francis, and I am becoming more and more curious about who you are." ”

What is it that makes the Queen Victoria?

An idea sprung up in Richard's mind, and he felt that Francis must have extraordinary machines, and at least one.

While looking around, Richard happened to pass by the rest area, and he saw two women and a man talking inside, and the bearded gentleman was holding a lot of good wine and drinking it.

The men seemed to have come with Mr. Francis, Richard recalled, and the beautiful lady with the beard and natural red hair was Mr. Francis's wife.

As for this gentleman and the other one wearing a witch's hat, he could not recall it in detail.

Alice, who was drinking black tea in the room, noticed what Richard was passing by, and asked Mei without raising her head, "May, your guest?" ”

When May heard Alice's words, she turned her head and realized that it was Richard, who she had met in the bizarre show area earlier, so she leaned back on the sofa and smiled, "Good evening, Mr. Richard, right?" Francis is inside, waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Excuse me, ma'am. I've been walking around here for a while, and I hope you don't mind. ”

Richard replied politely, and then walked softly into the room, except for the occasional jetting sound from the steam engine behind him.

Seeing the precious and fine wine that the bearded Solomon was holding, Richard immediately understood that it was probably taken from the mansion of the Grand Duke of Europa, and asked in wonder, "The Grand Duke of Europa is so generous, it seems that you are really an important guest." ”

May muttered for a moment, then explained that the Grand Duke of Europa had been killed, and that the wine had been made by Solomon without heeding the advice.

Richard nodded and said sympathetically: "It's really a great misfortune, the Grand Duke of Europa has no heirs, and the dignity of this surname will probably turn into dust from now on." ”

But then not wanting to make the atmosphere so solemn, Richard joked: "Actually, the best red wines are hidden under the piano in the room of the Grand Duke of Europa, and there is a secret door if memory serves." ”

Solomon slapped his thigh, annoyed that he should have met Richard earlier.

"I am Solomon, and I am fortunate to have known him."

Hearing this, Richard responded: "I am Richard, from the south of the continent, I hope that Mr. Solomon will not follow things casually in the future, it will not be good to be caught." ”

Solomon smiled heartily, and accepted Richard's kind and subtle advice.

After a pleasant exchange, May stood up and led Richard to Francis's separate room, which looked like a study, full of huge bookshelves, with only a round table and a chair scrawled on the floor.

"Francis should be waiting for you right here, and if you don't mind, it will be convenient to follow us to settle down at the Messiah to fix your machine."

"Yes ma'am, I have no opinion."

Richard wandered all the way from the south to Hillen, and he didn't mind going further north.

Pushing open the door, there was a sound of a piano, and then Richard finally saw Francis.

He leaned back against the work desk and closed his eyes to the piano music, on which sat a withered head resembling a Wornday decoration—it was Armand.

The source of piano music is a piano that no one plays by itself.

When Francis heard Richard walk in, he didn't open his eyes in a hurry, but asked lightly, "You didn't forget to carry the steam engine, did you?" ”

"Of course I haven't forgotten, Mr. Francis, this thing is my life."

After Richard finished speaking, he sensibly took out the blueprint of the firearm legend and put it on the table, and continued to say in amazement: "Is the piano an extraordinary object, it is striking the keys by itself." ”

Hearing this, Francis finally opened his eyes, happily pointed to Armand on the table, and deliberately whispered: "It's playing." ”

Armand, of course, could hear it, and he suddenly spoke disdainfully: "I wrote this mournful music for your death in advance, Francis. ”

The sudden fright made Richard take a step back, and Francis saw that he didn't need to be afraid, now the scary thing could do nothing but play the piano.

Francis turned around and took the legendary blueprint, put it under the light and carefully admired it, and said lightly: "About your steam engine, Richard, how far do you want to fix it?" ”

Richard pulls out a photograph of when the steam engine was first built, and tells Francis that it would be enough to revert to it.

The figure in the background of the snapshot instantly caught Francis's eye, and he put down the blueprint and picked up the photo to look at it;

The long-dead Pfister is looking at the steam engine with a smile on his face in the background corner of the photo.

"How long is this snapshot, Richard?"

Francis was almost impatient to ask.

"It's been about fifty years, and this snapshot has been specially processed so it won't be damaged or blurry."

As soon as Richard finished explaining, May walked in with brisk steps, and she also caught a glimpse of Pfister in the photo, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is Pfister..."

Francis thinks he's solved all of Pfister's mysteries, including Project Moonhouse, but the photo reveals the existence of another fog.

How long has Pfister existed?

Another guy who doesn't age with time, just like Alice.

The light and shadow peeled off through the porthole hit Francis's face, and others couldn't see his expression clearly for a while.

Pfister was waiting for him, waiting for him until he met him at the Cupid Factory.

"Richard, I'll fix your machine, but now I need to be alone for a while."

Francis spoke quietly and then walked to the shadows deeper in the room, looking out the porthole at the clouds that had been torn apart by the Queen Victoria.

Seeing this, May explained to Richard embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, he does this sometimes, don't worry. ”

Richard understood, as it looked like they were familiar with the person in the photo.

"By the way, ma'am, do you still need a mechanical technician?" Richard scratched his head and continued with a kind smile: "I hope to join Utopia Enterprises. ”

As soon as Richard entered the airship, he suddenly realized that his wanderings should stop.

He wanted to see extraordinary machines, he wanted to make a pilgrimage.
