Volume 2 Why the Sun Shines Chapter 83 The Sun in the Orphanage (1)
Abel eventually gave up teaching Margaret to use firearms, as she was clearly not the material, and the two ended up chatting around the campfire and waiting for the day to fall.
Margaret saw that it was already sunrise, and the surrounding students woke up one by one, knowing that the vigil had ended. She asked Abel, "Would you like to drink some strong coffee to refresh yourself, you look sleepy." ”
"Of course, thank you, Miss Margaret."
At 8:25 a.m., Jackson gathered his newlyweds inside the Maria Chapel with a thick containment order in his hand, indicating that their first Hell Invitation had been delivered to him.
"Normally, I distribute them randomly, but the quality of your issue is really uneven. In order to ensure the survival rate, you can only match the danger according to your ability, and the loot follows the principle of plunder, simply put, when you carry out the order, everything you get will not be questioned by the church, understand? ”
After that, Jackson took out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky: "Now, one last check, is there any smart person who has chosen to quit?" ”
A few minutes later, seven or eight students chose to raise their hands, signaling that they wanted to go back to the academy and become ordinary people.
Jackson nodded, indicating that it was a wise move to allow the eight cadets to leave through the gate now. Seeing that Margaret didn't raise her hand, he regretted in his heart: "Hurry up, silly girl, why can't you figure it out?" ”
The sunlight shone into the church with a slight glare of the daylight, and he carefully looked at the bright faces of each of the newcomers below, took out the letters of order and began to fly out one by one, and at the same time pronounced the corresponding names for each one out.
Margaret waited in the crowd for her name to be read, and her expression began to hesitate as she received the letters of order.
Because she was so sure she didn't hear her name: "Is Mr. Jackson mistaken?" ”
Finally, Jackson flew out a gilded invitation and threw it on the stage at Abel, who was brewing coffee by the campfire.
He didn't watch Jackson's movements, but when he stood up and walked towards the crowd, he caught it telepathically with his empty hand.
"Abel Messiah, Stage 3 Aberration-type Emergency Containment, the anomaly in the orphanage on the southwest side of the royal city is obvious, and I will leave it to you." With that, Jackson looked at him expectantly. This sun must go farther than Francis!
The crowd heard the name Messiah, and they all made way for Abel, and all eyes were on him.
It was this embarrassing feeling that Able could only smile helplessly in the face of everyone's scrutiny, he knew that these people's thoughts were doubting themselves: "Is there a mistake, this number one idiot is the Messiah?" ”
Part of the reason for this is that the Imperial Academy hides everyone's last name to prevent those who want to seek family feuds.
Abel flipped the gilded command letter with his fingertips, and when he noticed the name column on the invitation, he couldn't help but ask Jackson, "No offense, sir, why is Margaret's name on it?" ”
Jackson waited for him to ask, and replied, "Before I finish, Margaret Plimpton will be with you during the internship, because the people of their family have contacted Alice, and if this stupid girl insists on entering the church, please let the reassuring eldest son of the Messianic family take care of her." ”
Margaret, who was on the side, heard that her name was finally called, and her heart breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart said that she was almost almost.
But just now it seemed that Jackson said that Abel's surname was Messiah, and now she finally reacted, and immediately looked at Abel, who was frowning and inspecting the order letter.
"Abel!"
"Huh?"
"Are you Mei's heir?"
Hearing this, Abel looked like he had been discovered, scratched his head and explained with a smile: "Yes, she is half my mother." At this point, the sunlight shifted angles and shone brightly on him.
It's as if the sun is calling for the return of light.
Margaret didn't know how to react for a while, because she was still talking about the legend of Mei last night, and Abel actually listened to it with a serious face.
As for why she was called half a mother, Margaret understood that several of the children of her Messiah family were 'adopted' by Francis at the beginning.
But it seems that there is no difference at all with blood relatives, and there is something that has infiltrated the blood ties of this family.
She looked at Abel after reading the order letter, with a strange look, took the opportunity to divert her confusion, and slowly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Abel didn't really want to say it, but after telling Margaret that it should be okay, he thought for a while and said, "Believe it or not, the more I look at this orphanage snapshot, the more familiar I become, it's a story that Aisha told her when she was a child, and it feels like it's the same." ”
"So the lady you said could tell a story was May, right?"
He nodded, then put his hands in his pockets: "It's just that some stories aren't suitable for an eight-year-old girl, but for some reason she still likes to listen to them at the time." ”
"What are you two talking about, don't you want the medal?"
Abel and Margaret looked back and found that Alice had just arrived in an airship, carrying two silver pentagrams.
This is a symbol of a would-be hunter, and when the day comes when he actually becomes a hunter, he will be replaced with pure gold.
"I'm worried this thing will get dirty here, so I'll keep it for two days, don't you mind."
"Thank you, Professor Alice."
Margaret thanked her as she took the silver medal she handed over and hung it on her chest.
And when it was Abel's turn to receive the medal, Alice hurriedly leaned into her ear and said in a small voice that no one else could hear clearly: "Aisha will also go to the orphanage, be careful, try not to meet our daughter head-on." ”
These few words are actually the reason why he personally sent the medal, and now Aisha can easily kill her brother, Alice understands this truth.
Abel's face became very lonely, who would have thought that his former sister would face his sword at this time: "Aunt Alice, will Aisha really do something to me?" ”
"If you're in her way, I'm afraid it's going to happen..."
In the face of Alice's answer, Abel held up a sunny smile and said firmly: "I'll guide her home!" ”
And at this moment, another person walked down from the airship, and it was actually Mei. Margaret met her role model and said excitedly: "Yes... Full... Madame".
May walked up to Able and looked at him, who was dressed like a hunter and reminded herself of her church days.
"Not going to change tasks?" For no reason, she seemed very concerned about Abel's letter. "There are so many other things to choose from, so don't fight with Elsa, right?"
Abel shook his head, saying that he hadn't seen her for a long time, and that he was looking forward to seeing Aisha again. Alice understood the deep reason why May was so concerned, Elsa was only part of the reason, the most important part could not be explained, she said in a way that only May could understand: "May, it's just an orphanage, Abel can handle it." ”
She was about to say something several times, but finally gave in: "Then remember to be safe." After saying that, May turned around and noticed Margaret who was still in an excited state on the side, she recognized at a glance that this was the child of her friend's family, and then said softly: "Oh, it's the little girl of the Princeton family, I haven't seen your grandfather for a long time, say hello to him for me." ”
Margaret calmed down after a great mood swing at this time, bowed deeply and said, "I pay tribute to you on behalf of my grandfather, ma'am. ”
In the end, Mei was called back to corporate affairs by a sudden rush of information, and it seemed that the Supreme Believers had begun to make some small moves in the Western Continent.
When Francis first came into contact with them a few years ago, it was just a few dozen people performing taboo rituals in the hunting grounds, and now they tend to expand.
The company can be regarded as fighting fires everywhere, and the churches in the Eastern Continent are not idle, and they are very annoyed by the believers.
See here. Abel asks Alice if she can take them both to the orphanage in an airship.
"You can't borrow the east wind for everything, Abel, how about you figure it out yourself this time?"
"Not well, Aunt Alice, I vaguely remember that you borrowed the key to this airship from me."
Alice pursed her lips, covered her ears and pretended not to hear, and quickly ran back to the airship and quickly left the place. Completely ignoring Abel, who had been shouting on the ground to wait.
"Aunt Alice! God..."
He looked helplessly at the sky, and Margaret on the side was surprised that Alice became a professor at a young age: "It looks younger than May." ”
"It's just a matter of seeming, real age is a question that can't be said."
May relies on alchemy techniques to maintain her youth, and Alice is blessed with extraordinary powers.
Alice's age alone is about one-eighth of human history.
Just as he was distressed that it would take a long time to get to the orphanage, Margaret pointed to a steam cart parked outside and said, "Take my car, right?" ”
Abel looked at the extravagantly decorated steam car, he had never sat in such a good thing, and began to empathize with the other ancestor of the family: "Rich people really deserve to die!" ”
On the way, Abel didn't dare to move his body, for fear that he would not be able to pay if he was damaged.
I remember that the Messianic family was at its most generous when Francis took back the bounty from Hillen.
The air in Intramuros is much cleaner than in Wales, and at least when you go for a ride, you won't be coughed up by the exhaust fumes of industry.
Margarita looked at Abel who was very restrained and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”
He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car, pulled the window and enjoyed the feeling of the wind blowing on his face, and then said slowly: "I just want to say one thing, I hate rich people." ”
If Solomon had known what Abel was thinking, he would have been proud of him—a Messiah!
