In the afternoon on Lieyang Street, in the warm orange sun, Mei rarely escaped from her busy toil, and wrote in the large library of the Moon House about the recent noteworthy events, the most important of which was that the Supreme Believers began to spread like a plague in the world.

The company's airship flew non-stop, often just after dealing with a group of deranged believers on the front foot, and more news about the believers came from afar on the back foot.

It's been a nightmare eight years, and there are times when she doesn't even have time to miss Francis, Louis has returned to the blessed orphanage some time ago, and Elsa has gone on a path of extraordinary, as if there is always a stage in a person's life, and everything around you is pushing you to the brink of collapse.

Sometimes sleep is just a synonym for the nightmare memories that keep intruding into the mind, and once during the war, the Brotherhood killed five of the Messiah's five children with their own hands.

Crying in a pool of blood while holding a dying child was the last thing she wanted to remember.

Mei's brushstrokes keep sketching on the paper.

"Francis, you damn it, leaving me here alone and looking after everything for eight whole years, and I seem like I've screwed up.

I wish I could wake up with you next to my pillow, but I don't dare to miss you too much, because I always think of you facing the cycle of death all day long, being killed by Adrian again and again.

It seems that everything is moving towards the prophecy, and Elsa is really gone, but fortunately Abel has grown up and everything is still hopeful. ”

When she wrote this, Mei smiled bitterly with sadness: "Please come back soon, my dear, the whole world is waiting." ”

The door was suddenly opened gently, it was Abel who had returned from the academy, and his expression was not relaxed.

Mei immediately suppressed her sadness back to the bottom of her heart, and asked in a gentle tone: "What happened, you look like you are worried." ”

Abel tried to find a way for May to listen to her, and said softly, "Mother, why don't you tell me that you and Louis are from the same family..."

Mei's smile froze for a moment, and the tip of the pen in her hand was suddenly broken by herself.

She understood at once that someone had broken her agreement, was it Jacobin?

With a frozen smile, May made a final resistance: "What are you talking about, kid, who is Louis?" ”

Abel's expression was helpless, without any questioning or annoyance, after all, he understood how much Mei had paid for the family, and said that he was just puzzled.

"You can tell me early in the morning, it's just a stain on the door, and no one will have any special opinions."

May took off the glasses she wore only when she was working on words, and turned her head to look out the window, thinking how nice it would be if everything was just a stain on Valendi's door.

The things she had fled from and feared were not rotting in the dust.

It's real and has tracked its entire life.

Abel pushed the door in this time, revealing that the time for confession had come, and perhaps it was time, after all, the Messiah's family was full of original sin bearers, and now was the time for her to explain her crimes.

Tears began to glisten in Mei's eyes, which was the manifestation of humanity being squeezed by the extremely heavy past, and she said slowly and slowly with her lips in her mouth, "I was going to tell Francis about this later, but I accidentally took a step forward and he was trapped in the Gustav. ”

"Luis is a very good man, to be exact."

Mei once again showed a faint smile that made people look at it with pity, and began to explain her past to her eldest son.

Who she is, where she comes from, why she's here.

May Valentina, the seventeenth generation spirit son of the Valenti family, means that she will be the only child of her generation who will spend her life as a normal human among the many bloodlines of her generation.

Louis is a distant branch of her contemporary, and the two were close to their parents when they were young.

Because of the final prophecy, Mei is the most high-profile one in the family, with a high talent for pharmacy knowledge, and she also shows a good performance in the fight against monsters. In Louis's eyes, she was of the same high status as the Duke of Valendi, and he had the privilege of taking care of May's safety as a child, so he was extremely dutiful.

Here Mei sighed from the bottom of her heart: "He is very responsible, I always thought that Louis was my brother, and often stole the alchemy concoction books that the duke's grandfather wouldn't let me read, just like you used to take care of Elsa." ”

But this sunny brother, after the first uncontrolled appearance of wolf-like fangs, disappeared into his own life.

All they told her was that Louis had gone to a nice place.

Later, in front of the Valendi family's private chapel, May listened to the part of the last prophecy about herself: "I will commit the unforgivable sin of marrying a blasphemous man polluted by the double power of steam and extraordinary power, and push him to become king, and push him to crush mankind to powder with the roaring steam." ”

May, who was a teenager at the time, was extremely resistant to this guidance, and after days and nights of resistance and self-mutilation, the Duke of Valendi may have a premonition that the family was coming to the end of its continuity, and finally compromised in a night of whiteness.

After all, Mei first refused to follow the guidance of the prophecy, and secondly disobeyed the marriage contract with other nobles, and the only Lingzi behaved like this, and naturally there was no next generation of Valendi.

He gave Mei the freedom to take up a silver sword right now and kill the monsters hiding in the blessed orphanage.

"Prove that you can live without the illustrious family, dear granddaughter, and I hope you will not regret your decision when you grow up."

So under the watchful eyes of many childhood friends, May picks up a silver sword and enters the orphanage, just in time to bump into Jacobin, who is in great fear.

What she didn't expect at all was that Louis, who went to a beautiful place in the mouths of everyone, was the wolf of the moment of distortion.

"It's a heinous crime for him to eat such a child, but how can I bear to kill Louis with my own hands. I relented at the last minute and banished him to Helen, far away, forbidden to approach humans, and let Jacobin and I bury the secret deep in my belly. ”

After a long and slow story, Abel apologized to May: "I'm sorry, mother, I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

Mei waved her hand, her expression calmed down, and she suddenly said with relief: "I should have said it earlier." Later, I left Mendi to live alone in the royal city, and because of Louis, I chose to be admitted to the Imperial College to become a hunter, hoping to cleanse the world and my crimes, and at the same time stay away from prophecy. ”

"But God seemed to be joking, and I ran away from the prophecy like crazy, and ended up meeting Francis in the Messiah."

"There's no way around it, I fell in love with your father after I met him, just like the last prophecy said."

May thought of Francis's face, and said in a trance: "I, in the end, neither the small evil nor the big evil was left behind, and that is what the unforgivable crime should mean." ”

The little evil let Louis go, and now he relented again, and seized the orphanage after Louis returned to it, wanting to continue to hide the secret that the wolf was still alive.

The great evil is to be in the same boat as Francis. On the night of the Messiah, she became the Messianic Lady and the prophesied Unforgivable.

And the former little girl adapted these past into bedside stories and told them to the next little girl, Elsa.

Abel waited quietly for Mei to finish speaking, and couldn't help but be infected by Mei's past, he let out a long breath and comforted: "Mother has already redeemed herself, this is the fate of our blasphemer family, but your efforts deserve everyone's respect." ”

Mei almost burst into tears again when she heard the words of this sensible child, did she really do well enough?

She stroked Abel's hair and muttered, "I may not have said it, but now I want you to understand that you have always been the pride of me and Francis." ”

"But I'm clumsy."

"That's our pride, too."

Able slowly stood up and asked May for her opinion on the orphanage, "Then is it necessary for me to purify Louis?" ”

May seems to let go of the past, Louis used to be a good person, but that doesn't mean that the crime after the aberration can be erased and left unmentioned.

In addition, Louis was the hunter who killed David's wife, and no one knows how he became a hunter after he was banished to Heeron.

I can't bear to do it, David will find Louis sooner or later, so it's better to let Abel do it: "Of course, the sun, the balance of good and evil is not balanced, do what you have to do!" ”

Abel nodded thoughtfully, then in a merciful way, to purify Louis without pain.

Later, Mei explained the specific situation of Louis now, the four stages of distortion, and he has been hungry for half a month and has not eaten the flesh that the wolf craves, especially when the full moon has just passed.

It wandered around the orphanage, and kept wandering, howling day and night.

As fate would have it, Mayor David had finally found Louis after eight years of vengeful wanderings, and he had arrived in the royal city a few days earlier.

After hearing about the orphanage, David, who is now in the second half of the fourth stage of the duke's derivation, has been planning in an inn on that street for a long time.

The church seems to have sent hunters ready to purify Louis, no, no, no, absolutely not, and it turns out that the damn wolf-like man must be himself!

As for why he didn't stay at No. 1 Lieyang Street, it was because David had vaguely guessed the connection between May and Louis, and he didn't want her to be too difficult, after all, the two sides had a friendship first, and May was Francis's wife.

Therefore, it is a wiser choice to cut before playing.

After the revenge plan, David plans to return to Akita Town, the place surrounded by wheat fields, he hasn't been back there for a long, long time, and he doesn't know how Ophelia is doing to take care of the town.

Eight years passed day and night, and at this moment David listened to the wolf howl outside the street lamp in the orphanage, and smoked a cigar in a thousand thoughts.

"Blood debt and blood payment."

He said silently after dropping his cigar.
