After waking up

As Mullan said, Leo only suffered physical trauma, but he also suffered mental torture during this period. Physical and mental trauma may become incurable scars for many people, but Mullan believed that Jones The children of the Te family have strong willpower.

At least Mullan believes that Leo Jonest is like this. This is not an optimistic estimate, but he can feel that his brother's spiritual level has become stronger.

Even at the dinner table after Old Buck cooked for the two brothers in the middle of the night, Leo could talk about the torture he suffered at the pirates with a hateful expression, because he knew what his family could bear, and he also knew his own Affordability.

"These bastards actually want to turn me into a tool to please the noble lady. I am a noble of the empire!"

Old Buck said with both distress and amusement.

"Master Leo, it's exactly what you said, so the wounds on your body are actually not deep, and they are afraid of damaging you."

Mulan was eating potato stew and said sadly.

"That's right, Grandpa Buck, you don't know that Leo is also selective and tough when he is tortured, and he is very flexible and flexible."

"What? What do you mean, am I not tough enough after all this suffering?"

Faced with Leo's angry glare, and Mulan remembered what Leo had just said about tricking him into eating mosquitoes, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Leo, when you were there, did you just obey when you met a beautiful training partner, but would you rather die than surrender when you met an ugly one?"

"Cough cough cough cough."

Leo couldn't help coughing. How did Mulan know about this? Indeed, he was a little unaware at the beginning and had a relationship with two beautiful ladies half-heartedly.

Moreover, the pirates provided Leo with good food at that time. He thought it was because of his status as an imperial noble and because they wanted a ransom. Thinking that his brother was not short of money, he enjoyed it with peace of mind.

As a result, Leo, who discovered something was wrong later, began to rather die than surrender.

Facing Mulan at this moment, Leo felt somewhat guilty.

"Well, the situation at that time was very complicated."

"Hahahahaha"

Mulan laughed, and Old Buck was a little helpless. In fact, Leo's conditions were not bad, but he didn't know why he couldn't find anyone to marry. Maybe it was because Mulan's influence was too great. There were both positives and negatives. , making Leo less trusting of those noble girls who come into contact with him, and the fact is often just as his intuition goes.

This time Mullan stayed in Valentine for a while, but it was only for a week. Originally, he wanted to stay longer, but after he went out to buy groceries once or twice, the news about him in Valentine spread like wildfire. Come on, there are too many nobles, businessmen and even reporters who want to visit.

Mullan gave an interview to Valentine Daily and then left Valentine.

It was also this time that the Valentine Daily opened up sales in other cities, and even sold the newspaper to the imperial capital of Digao for the first time.

The next day, when Mullan got off the train at Digao Railway Station, he learned from the Empire Daily that although the major powers had conflicts with each other, they had now jointly launched the "Joint Convention on Maritime Security."

Thanks to the development of telegraph technology, this announcement was drafted and issued recently, and the major powers carried out all-round eradication of pirates in all waters, even with the assistance of lighthouse wizards.

The rules of the ocean have changed since the moment the Pirate King and his armada were severely damaged.

But these are not important to Mulan, at least there is no need for him to participate personally.

Due to the protection of Mulan himself, Nice Helier did not make Mulan's achievements public. Keeping Vincent's identity unknown not only protects Mulan, but also maximizes Dilga's interests.

But Mulan's achievements existed objectively, and it was impossible for Nishelir not to reward Mulan, but because his achievements were not transparent, he could not make an exaggerated reward.

When it finally fell to Mulan, he could only draft and promote the implementation of the joint convention, win huge benefits for Dilga, and a series of high-sounding words, and then Nishelil would not solemnly announce it. Mulan's viscount level was increased by two levels, plus the reward of two manors.

It was later in the day that he summoned Mulan. Although he had already gone back to rest, Nishelir could clearly see that Mulan was tired when he saw him.

Mulan maintained the due respect, saluted, received the reward, and thanked him. Then he resigned after making a brief oral report and waited for a while before submitting a complete report.

Nishelir did not retain Mulan. After the last disturbing impulse, she rarely showed any behavior that went beyond the rules of a monarch and a minister.

"He looks quite tired."

Nishelir said this, and Menggol and Grandor next to him looked at each other, and the former said.

"The recovery ability of extraordinary people is very strong. Jonest may be overdrawn by his magic power and needs a period of recuperation."

"By the way, Your Majesty, what about Sir Walton's reward?"

Hearing Grandor's question, Nicehelil couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"He has long passed the stage of craving for power and fame. It is enough to give him financial support, or to Grandor, if you agree to date him a few times, he will also be very happy."

Grandor suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, and it felt scary just thinking about it.

"Don't even think about this kind of thing. You might as well be with some noble lady at this moment."

In fact, Walton's magic power consumption is also extremely huge, but it is true that as Grando said, he is dating a young lady at the moment. He is generous and gives a precious necklace full of gems as soon as they meet, which instantly makes that girl The lady held her breath.

Even if he failed to obtain the Wish Pot, in Nishelir's heart, this reward was far less than Mulan's actual contribution.

But in the eyes of uninformed people, this has become a representative incident of Her Majesty the Queen's extreme favor for Mulan Jonst, and even spawned some crimson stories with noses and eyes.

How could this kind of arrangement escape the eyes and ears of Nice Helier, but sometimes, it is difficult to tell whether Her Majesty the Queen deliberately let it go, so that some outstanding noble girls know not to get too close to Mulan.

However, these are completely indifferent to Mulan. On the surface, the knighthood and rewards are not enough, but he is definitely one step closer to the center of power. The Queen and some important ministers definitely have deeper trust in him. More importantly, some top-secret information will affect him. Decrypt more.

And now a considerable part of Mulan's thoughts have drifted to the secret realm of Siluas World Tree.

But be patient! Gotta think carefully!

When Mulan returned to the Black Castle to examine the changes and progress of the students during this period, he was already thinking privately about where to start the experiment of destroying the sacred objects.

Under the shadow of the huge canopy of the distant Siluas World Tree, the graceful curved wish pot is quietly located there.

This is the most sacred object that almost everyone in the world who knows about it wants to obtain, but now it has been obtained by a person, or organization, who does not want to use it to make a wish.

At the end of November, the first snowfall of this winter fell in Digao. Mulan was explaining in detail some precautions in the large classroom to many students who were close to breaking through.

"Hmm, cough, cough, cough."

A fake cough came from the door. Mulan turned around and saw Matt standing over there.

"Oh, Professor Jonst, are you giving a lecture? I happened to pass by, um, can I say a few words?"

Mulan nodded and was about to talk to the students about self-study for a while, but Matt walked in.

"No, no, no, I can just discuss it with you for a few words, you see."

Matt took out an unfinished trial version of "Truth and Magic."

"The fourth issue of the journal is almost out. The great paper we published together with Professor Alofa is at the top, occupying nearly half of the space. I think this is a bit bad and may affect other articles."

Good guy, are you here to show off in front of the students? However, Mulan was very cooperative, so he still had to give him some face.

"No, no, no, Professor Matt, this is a great achievement in the history of alchemy. It is destined to have its own chapter in history. It cannot be overemphasized. Perhaps it will be quoted and discussed in future journals. There won’t be any less.”

Matt looked at the journal seriously.

"Tsk, it's true what you said. It has to be like this. Someone from the editorial department came to ask me specifically if I could fix the issue like this. I was a little hesitant at first. But after hearing what you, the co-author, said, I also understood the importance. so be it?"

"it's the only way!"

"Okay, then I'll reply to them!"

Matt smiled, and then as if he suddenly noticed the curious eyes of many students, he pointed at the journal casually.

"It's nothing. It's in the fourth issue, which is a successful refinement of the human body."

What satisfies Matt the most in Black Castle is to teach a group of knowledgeable students. When they heard what he said, almost all the students below took a breath. This reaction was enough.

"Well, Professor Jonest, you continue, I have to drop by the editorial office to reply."

"Okay, then you go ahead and I'll find you later."

Matt nodded, and then calmly walked out of the classroom. After making sure that no one else could see it, he gritted his teeth and waved the journal in his hand. His name will spread around the world with this book, and it will also be recorded in the history of alchemy. in history!

In fact, compared to the small-scale spread of the confrontation between the Pirate King and the Masked Demon, "Truth and Magic" is a major event that has made waves in the conventional supernatural world, and the publication of the fourth issue is destined to be a qualitative change.
