After waking up

After seeing Irving, Mulan only hesitated for a moment, then immediately stopped, avoided possible contact with Irving's eyes, and quietly hid behind a remote street.

"Lord Jones, what's wrong?"

Farrow Lynch, who was following Mulan, saw Mulan suddenly acting so cautiously. While he hid carefully with him, he was also extremely curious and looked outside when asking.

"It seems that someone who surprised me has arrived. We'd better not let him find out."

Without taking his eyes off Irving, Mullan explained to Farrow Lynch in a low voice.

Why did Owen come here?

Did the royal capital already know that the train stopped here, and then specially sent Owen to check it out?

‘No, it’s impossible! ’

Mulan immediately denied himself. When he left Digao, he bought the ticket and set the time himself. He did not tell anyone. Others did not know which train he took, and there was no real-time location, let alone because When an ordinary train broke down, Owen was sent to look at it, and the passengers who had hitched a ride were not going in the direction of Digao.

To take a step back, Mulan is relatively familiar with the real-time information of Black Castle. At least he knows that when he left Digao, Owen was not in Digao.

In other words, based on the current situation, Owen should have come to the Shire on his own.

Mulan felt something was wrong slightly, and began to have some bad associations in his heart.

After a while, Mulan planned to retreat quietly. He didn't want to meet Irving directly. Even if he wanted to meet, he would wait for Irving to find out that Mulan Jones was here, and then take the initiative to go to the Baron's Mansion to see him.

"Let's go back first."

Back at the Baron's Mansion, Mulan immediately found Charles and wanted to tell Xi Xi something.

Seeing Mullan and Farrow Lynch coming to him in a hurry, Baron Charles immediately realized that there was something important and immediately went to his study together.

This is a spacious and exquisite room, with a large bookshelf, a large desk, and a comfortable sofa. The three of them are sitting or standing on the sofa. The large curtains in the study are drawn up, revealing only a gap in the window.

A few minutes later, Mullan had already described an outline.

"You mean, no matter whether that person has a relationship with a vampire or not, I can't expose him?"

Mulan nodded seriously.

"If the other party has nothing to do with vampires, then you expose yourself. Even if I protect you, colluding with vampires has become a fact. You will inevitably be judged by the empire, let alone investigated by Black Castle. Shedding skin is easy. Think about it before. Those things I said.”

Charles shuddered subconsciously.

"What if he's related to vampires?"

Hearing Ciel's question, Mulan's face moved closer to Farrow Lynch who was on the side.

"If he is related to vampires, then not only will you be in more danger, but my situation will also become very bad. If he knows about your betrayal, then you will definitely die, and it is very likely that your blood will be extracted to refine the source blood. As for me, he will find ways to test me, and he will most likely take action after figuring out my situation. Of course, he is more likely to retreat first."

"He will probably choose not to meet me, and then come back after I leave. Then you will face him alone. If he comes back at that time and finds that I have not left, then he may attack me, or maybe later Keep an even greater eye on me at Castle Black, putting me in hidden danger.”

The expression on Ciel's face was stiff.

"Anyway, no matter what the situation is, it doesn't look good to me."

After muttering like this, Charles suddenly became energetic and looked at Mulan very seriously.

"If, I mean if, Lord Jonest, if I pretend to have no knowledge of your destroying the werewolf stronghold and killing Sandro, and am very panicked and suspicious of you, then as an uninformed little kid What about me? After all, even if I suspect what you have done, I have no power to fight against you, will they understand?"

Charles thought of this on his own, which made Mulan smile and nodded slightly in response.

"Indeed, if you stay out of the matter, then all the other party's accusations will only be directed at me. After all, with your right to know and state, it is impossible to fight against me. And as a half-vampire, it is very normal for you to be able to hide it from me. At least he I think so."

Seeing that Ciel's face looked good, Mulan stopped smiling. Ciel noticed this and immediately added in panic.

"Sir Jones, I don't mean to push all the dangers to you. I'm just thinking about it. I'm just thinking about it."

"No, Ciel, your proposal is very good!"

Mulan stood up from the sofa, walked to the large French window, and looked outside through the gap in the curtains.

"I won't be angry because of this. After all, if the other party is really related to vampires, then no matter what you do, he will pay special attention to me in the future, and he may even take action against me here."

Mulan turned to look at Charles with a serious expression and serious eyes.

"It's just that, Charles, if you do this, you will have to escape among the vampires for a long time. You must understand your value to them but not expose this. At the same time, you must also pay attention to the empire and not expose yourself. Case!"

Charles felt a little depressed. He clenched and unclenched his fists, unclenched and clenched them again. He glanced at Farrow Lynch, who was silent next to him, and then looked up at Mullan.

"Lord Jones, will you save me? No matter what you ask me to do, I will try my best to do it, or come close! I don't want to die, especially after realizing how wonderful the world is!"

The showdown between Mulan and the werewolf frightened Charles, but it also shocked him deeply. He didn't sleep all night last night, and his mind was filled with the two powerful figures in the forest, speed and strength, fangs and swords. , Terror and Courage

At this moment, there were no lights on in the study. Mulan was standing in the floor-to-ceiling window, which was the only source of light, while Charles was sitting on the dim sofa. The former looked at the latter solemnly.

"Char, if I didn't think much of you at the beginning, then after last night, you have successfully proved yourself. You have courage, wisdom, and aggressiveness!"

Mulan's voice was low but very powerful. He did not use the cheap word "friend" among nobles, but "partner", which was already very intimate in the context of Dilga. He asked Ciel Reach out.

"Come on Charles, come to the window."

Charles subconsciously stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. Mulan opened the curtains slightly, allowing some sunlight to shine on Baron Charles. Although the latter clearly showed an expression of discomfort and disgust, he did not avoid it and allowed the sunlight to fall. On the body.

"Your proposal is exactly what I expect. I very much hope that you can help me, and at the same time realize my self-worth and achieve my wishes in the process. Power can easily make people get lost, and danger often makes people flinch. But with you, I You see the potential to move forward bravely. This is not a polite compliment, but your own proof last night!"

The power of light flows through Mulan in the sun, and the shadow extends from his feet to the dark corner, where the power of the devil is hidden, like another Mulan with a smile, and there is a vague emotional resonance extending.

After Mulan's words, he had not made any promises, but Baron Charles, who was originally frustrated and panicked, was slightly excited. Emotions are a very strange thing, especially at this moment, he seemed to be able to deeply understand Mulan's feelings. Sincerity, I understand Mulan’s recognition of him!

"Char, I am very lonely, very lonely. I need a partner like you on my bumpy road ahead!"

Mulan's eyes and tone were very sincere, and he slowly clasped his right hand on his chest. However, it was not the flat palm that nobles liked to use, nor the clasping fist that soldiers were accustomed to. Instead, the index finger and thumb were interlocked, and the three fingers were extended outward.

"If you are willing to believe me, if you are willing to give me a chance, Charles, I, Mullan Jonest, promise you that as long as you do not betray me, as long as you still trust me, then I will never abandon you, no matter what Whatever happens, I will help you. I can’t promise inevitable results, but I will try my best!”

Speaking of this, Mulan's tone even contained some hesitation and anxiety, and he looked at Ciel with a sincere expression.

"Char, are you willing to believe me?"

Charles looked at Mulan blankly. Just now, he seemed to be able to feel the loneliness in Mulan's heart. He could also strongly feel the desire and expectation in Mulan's emotions. He could truly feel that he was needed by Mulan and that kind of appreciation. , that kind of recognition, that kind of expectation and anxiety are all intense that Ciel has almost never felt.

Whether it was because there was only one most reliable option left for his own safety, or because of some kind of impulse in his heart, Charles suddenly felt that his fear at this moment had weakened a lot. He only felt that he had to respond to Mulan's offer. expect!

"I am willing to believe in you and be your partner. If I only have this chance in my life, I believe you will be the one who sincerely helps me! If I can survive, if I can grow, if you still don't If you despise me, then Mullan Jonst, no matter where you go, I will be with you on your road!"

Mulan looked at Ciel seriously, then reached out and gave him a high-five and held hands together!
