After waking up

The two lay down and rested for a while. Ivan was the first to notice the changes around him and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Earl's estate is returning to normal."

Mulan had already forced himself to sit up and started loading bullets for his revolver.

"It's not completely normal yet."

In the distant corridor, several nobles with strange movements have appeared, but facing them does not put much pressure on Mulan and Aiwen.

The sound of gunshots continued intermittently in the earl's manor for a while, and then Mulan and Ivan also found some surviving nobles and attendants, dozens of them, which seemed to be a lot of people, but compared to the lively dance before , there must be quite a bit missing.

About half an hour later, the survivors followed Ivan and Mulan to the church managed by Ivan. Hathaway and Lily also felt relieved after seeing Mulan.

At this time, Mulan was of course not as chic as before, his hair was messy and his clothes were torn in many places, and his body was even stained with blood, but psychologically it gave all the survivors a devastating strong aura.

"ding ding ding" "bang bang bang"

"Detective, Inspector~~"

At dawn, Detective Valentine, who was still sleeping at home, was awakened by the rapid ringing of the doorbell and knocking on the door.

The detective with an annoyed look on his face wore pajamas and opened the door. After opening the door, he saw several detectives standing outside nervously. Most of their annoyance and sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

"What happened?"

One of the detectives swallowed.

"Something big happened at Earl Franklin's Manor"

The detective's eyes widened, and he immediately turned around to get his coat and put on his boots. He rushed out of the house without having time to put on other clothes.

"Let's go, let's go, take me there!"

The Valentine Police Department gathered a large number of police officers and rushed towards the Earl's Manor. When they arrived at the manor, the detective was almost so frightened that he could not stand still.

The entire Earl's Manor was deathly silent. Bodies could be found everywhere inside and outside. Some of the corpses were even recognized by the detective. They were noble nobles. The police officers and detectives were still searching everywhere. The detective had a face like Ashes.

"It's over, it's over, it's over now"

So many nobles were in trouble, and many other nobles, including Count Bracklin and his family, were also missing. Regardless of how much pressure the Valentine Police Department would have just gone through a crisis, the detective felt that his personal future was probably at risk. It’s slim.

As the sky grew brighter, good news finally came one after another. Firstly, the count's family was fine, and secondly, most of the nobles were not dead. They all hid in a church, but when asked what happened, At that time, most people showed fear and kept silent. The few who spoke were also incoherent, always using words such as "monster" and "dead body", and their emotions were obviously unstable.

In comparison, the old earl was much calmer. As a nobleman in charge of the area and also serving as the mayor, he also comforted Detective Valentine and told him not to be too worried. This incident happened suddenly. Although the Valentine Police Station had He has a certain responsibility, but it will not be a heavy responsibility. He will report it to the higher-ups of the empire.

The most difficult thing was that in the first three days after the incident, various matters in the manor had to be dealt with. Many nobles did not dare to leave the church. In addition, the families of the nobles came to the Valentine Police Station to question one after another. Newspapers reported on what happened at the Earl's Manor. The tragedy was also widely reported.

But after the third day, the pressure faced by the Valentine Police Department suddenly became much lighter. Many families of the victimized nobles rarely came to the police station to cause trouble and put pressure on them. Even the trend in the newspapers changed.

On the morning of the fifth day after the incident, Mulan lay in bed and slept in. Leo, who had regained some mobility, carefully climbed the stairs and arrived outside his brother's room.

"Dong dong dong~"

"Mu Lan, I'm coming in."

Leo opened the door and found that his brother was still sleeping in. He walked to the window in small steps and opened the curtains.

"Hey, what are you doing, Leo? I just fell asleep not long ago."

"The sun has risen, how long do you want to sleep? By the way, I have good news for you, look!"

Leo threw the newspaper in his hand to Mullan's bedside. The latter rubbed his eyes, took the newspaper and glanced at it. The most eye-catching headline on the front page read: "Valentine's Hero!"

"The massacre at Earl's Palace was caused by members of the cult where the murderer belonged. His Excellency Mullan Jonest turned the tide and destroyed it again."

"Mu Lan, when did you do so many things and why didn't you tell me?"

Leo seemed more excited than Mulan. Mulan stared blankly at the newspaper, lying on the bed with his mouth open and speechless.

"Ding ding ding~~~"

The doorbell rang, and Old Buck's response came from the direction of the stairs. After opening the door, Old Buck found two people standing outside, a man wearing a coat and a high hat, and, uh, also wearing a coat and a hat. A long-haired woman wearing a high hat?

"You are?"

The man spoke first.

"Please tell Sir Mullan Jonest that I came to him to retrieve the items that Sir Walton kept, and invite him by the way!"

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll tell Master Mulan!"

Old Buck was doubtful but still had a smile on his face, and then quickly turned around and went upstairs.

Master Mulan is becoming more and more mysterious!

The three words "Walton" are the best catalyst for getting up. As soon as Mulan, who was still lying in bed, heard the name, he immediately lifted the quilt and sat up. Then he started to quickly put on clothes, and ran upstairs in just a few minutes. Down.

After experiencing the last danger, Mulan was far more thirsty for power than before. He rushed outside the house and saw the two people waiting outside the door. One of them actually knew each other.

"Dolly?"

The woman frowned.

"It's Do~Lee!"

"Well, I will remember it, may I ask you?"

The man took off his hat and bowed his head slightly in salute to Mulan, with a hearty smile on his face.

"I am Owen, meeting you for the first time. Lord Jonest, you are a great man. Even though you are a mortal, you possess great power. Please allow me to pay you the highest respect!"

The man raised his head and looked at Mulan seriously.

"If you agree, I will be very happy to invite you to the royal capital to study. Please believe me, you will shine!"

Mulan quickly went through the information in his mind. First, he took out the cloth bag that had been carefully guarded. Inside was the doll that Walton gave him. The man took the bag without looking at it, waiting for Mulan's response.

"Both my family's honor and my personal responsibility tell me that it is my duty, Mullan Jonest, to do this!"

Of course he has to go. Not to mention his longing for the mysterious world, let's just say that there is an ancient demon in the world who hates Mulan to the core. He must also be on guard and at least learn more relevant knowledge.

"This is the best news I have heard today. Welcome, Lord Jonest!"

Duo Li looked at the man beside her. He actually used honorifics to Mulan, and it seemed that he really respected him.

"Then please prepare. We will come back at the same time in a day to sort out some clothes and personal belongings."

"How long will you be gone?"

"There will be holidays so that you can go home often. You can think of it as a further study, so I won't disturb you. We will see you tomorrow. We have prepared all the tickets and transportation. Please don't worry."

After the man finished speaking, he took Duo Li away. Mulan watched their figures disappear at the end of the street before closing the door and going back to the house.

The other party didn't reveal any key information, but Mulan could also relate a lot to it.

Doli couldn't help but ask others on the road.

"Why don't you use honorifics when you find us? I was also found by Walton."

The man glanced at Dolly and then looked away at the street.

"Because he is braver than you all."

"Oh? Can you compare it now?"

"Don't be angry, Miss Li, I bet that if you and he were in different places, you would never be as good as him. There are many kinds of courage in people, and he can face the ancient demon with a mortal body. I can't do it." arrive!"

"Okay, let's go to the temple and talk about it. Now we also have a share of this sacred object."

After Mulan returned to the house, he was not only excited, but also thinking about how to tell his family about this matter. However, before he could speak, someone knocked on the door again a moment later.

This time it was the attendant of the Earl's Palace and the commendation messenger who took a day and night train from the royal capital to come here.

The new queen, Queen Nishelil, will personally commend and confer Mulan.
