When May heard Richard's request, she kneaded her fingers in embarrassment, after all, she didn't count, so she secretly looked at Francis.

But Francis was still looking out of the porthole and was alone, unaware of May's temptation.

In the end, May had no choice but to say to Richard: "Wait for Francis to think about it later, you probably don't know, we really don't lack people." ”

"Then I'll wait for news, ma'am."

Richard didn't dwell on it, but was very polite and left room for May to maneuver.

In the rest area, Alice and Solomon watched as Richard came out of the room with a relaxed expression, but the steam engine behind him was gone.

Sitting down on a lone spare couch, Richard watched the structure of the room silently and silently.

Seeing this, Solomon approached him, placed a bottle of wine in front of Richard, and said, "You don't have to worry about the machine, Francis is an expert in this area." ”

Richard smiled, then explained that he wasn't worried about it, and that he had broken the habit of drinking alcohol a long time ago.

Later, until the Queen Victoria flew back to the Messiah Mansion, Richard was not noisy, and kept looking at everything about the airship with a calm expression.

After Francis returned to the mansion's moon house, May relayed Richard's request to Francis for his opinion.

"What do you think, do you want to reject it?"

While repairing Richard's steam engine, Francis thought for a while and said, "I think that since Richard has a picture of Pfister, maybe he is a person he can trust." ”

May was still wearing the black dress, crossed her legs, and quietly listened to Francis continue.

"Let him stay in Wales, and put him in the name of whatever sounds good, it's not a bad thing to have a mechanic of his kind, and we can see."

"Aren't you worried that he knows about the existence of the Moon House?"

Francis paused and replied lightly, "He probably already knows." ”

There are now two full-fledged air fleets in the air port inside the Moon House, and they can silence all those who know about the existence of the Moon House.

Moreover, on the human side now, Francis has no enemies, and he is now more concerned about the aliens of the so-called old gods, such as the goddess of death.

The Church has taken the initiative to gradually dilute the control of the Western Continent, and is clearly avoiding the edge of the enterprise, which makes Francis realize that the Church is not the complete opposite.

This can be seen in the repeated invitations to Francis to the royal city.

"Let him join, but let him know that this is not a happy paradise, but that he may be thrown into a monster pile one day."

Francis smiled as he looked at the steam engine he had repaired.

Francis then took out the blueprints of the firearms and ironcraft legends and handed them to the apostles for the second stage of alchemical transformation.

The problem of fuel has been preliminarily resolved, and during the ceremony, Golden Dawn has thrown all the remains of the aberrant monsters they hunted into the Moon House, and at this moment it has gathered into a mountain nearly ten meters high.

As a result, Francis can perform Phase 2 ascension of the Heart of the Machine at the same time.

However, this time the Apostle explained that for the advancement of the Heart of Machines, it was necessary to send Francis into the forging capsule in the Star Furnace.

He stood in front of the Star Forge and looked back at May, and said in a mocking tone, "Remember to say something nice to Richard, don't scare him away." ”

With that, he leaped into the crucible of stars.

Richard, who was waiting for news in the mansion, was found by May and could not hide his excitement when he heard that his request was granted.

"Don't be too happy, Richard, I tell you in good conscience that it's not a joy to join a business."

"First of all, we don't have the money to pay our salaries, so you have to go with Francis to the Dream Shop in Wales. Secondly, most of the time we have to deal with extremely dangerous aberrant monsters, and the Apostles of Steel are responsible. ”

Richard was not at all defeated by May's admonishment words, but replied very seriously: "I understand, ma'am." ”

Seeing that Richard's determination was firm, May no longer offered any advice but encouraged: "Welcome to the mess, unfortunate Mr. Richard. ”

Later, Richard learns that the famous owner of the Dream Shop, Alice, is the person wearing a witch's hat he met in the rest area.

Because Richard had always been a wanderer, May left an empty room on the first floor for Richard to live in, and Richard looked at the key in the palm of his hand and was excited.

Looking at the mirror with a straight hat, he recalled the corporate manifesto and said to himself: "Control, containment, purification." "—The declaration was just come up with by May.

It's just that it didn't take long for Richard to be called by May to the Moon House to clean up the distorted remains, and he was completely hit by the surprise of the Moon House to completely break through the limit of his imagination.

"Ah, Extraordinary Machine, I'm willing to give everything for you..."

Richard sighed in a stupe.

May reminded Richard, "When the surprise is over, remember to throw the remains of these monsters into the furnace and burn them." ”

Richard turned to look at the mountain of monster remains, pinched his nose to resist the smell of blood and decay, and then carried the remains with tools, and threw the remains into the furnace.

Noticing the presence of the new employee, the monk robe stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you alright, young man?" ”

Richard nodded, indicating that everything was fine, but wondered, "How many distorted monsters need to be killed to have so many remains." ”

"A lot, more than you can imagine, but I have to say that these are all the remains of stage three and above, and we don't have to worry about fuel for the time being."

As soon as the sound of the monk's robe landed, the star furnace suddenly made a violent noise, and the fierce light of the small moon in the moon house increased its brightness greatly.

Richard couldn't help but cover his eyes immediately, the monk's robe was not human, and he looked at the exit of the Star Forge without surprise;

After the liquid hot steam erupted, Francis slowly walked out of it.

"Congratulations, man, we've restored the Heart of the Machine to Phase 2 as planned."

"Of course, your sword and musket are also being modified, and tomorrow or later, everything will be done."

Richard was amazed that this kind of alchemical transformation really couldn't be done without an extraordinary machine.

He learned the tone of the monk's robe, gestured and joked: "Hello, man, I am a newly recruited human apostle, Richard. ”

Remembering that the next Shadow Meeting was about to take place, Francis was almost ready to find out about Aircraft Three, so he chatted with Richard briefly and prepared to contact Alice.
