After waking up

Mulan bought spicy peppers, fried eggs, stir-fried beef tenderloin with sharp peppers, and stir-fried vegetables. Chinese cuisine is heavy on fire and oil and is willing to use a variety of seasonings. Although it cannot be said that every seasoning is suitable, Mulan chose When buying, he tried to be as close as possible. Today was the first time he tried it, but the strong aroma of food still easily drifted far away from the chimney of the small building where he lived.

"Zi La~~~"

Chili peppers and beef tenderloins are stir-fried in the pot. The aroma of this dish is unexpectedly rich when fried with butter. The spicy aroma of chili peppers and the meaty aroma of beef are perfectly mixed together. Mulan only uses butter and salt as condiments, but he can already I decided that this dish was absolutely delicious, and I started swallowing saliva continuously during the stir-frying process.

As a social worker who once worked alone in a strange city, cooking is also one of Mulan's essential skills.

"Dong dong dong~"

A knock came from outside the door, and Mulan couldn't help but smile.

‘Can such a greedy person still come? ’

Mulan put down the shovel, turned to look in the direction of the entrance, and suddenly glanced at the doorbell. If it was Doli who loved music, he would definitely choose to ring the doorbell. Since the doorbell was not rung, it was probably not Doli who came.

"Dong dong dong~"

Mulan walked to the entrance and opened the door, and Walton stood outside the door with a bright smile.

"Wow, Mulan, are you surprised to see me? I know you must have explained the situation to the girls who admire me, right?"

Mulan's mouth twitched.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

"Uh, don't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

Mulan stepped aside and made an inviting gesture.

"Come in, if you haven't had dinner yet, you are welcome to dine at my place."

"A true gentleman will never refuse your kindness!"

Walton walked in directly, then took off his hat and put it on the coat rack on the side, walked to the kitchen not far away without any restraint, and even came to the stove to see what Mullan was cooking.

When Mulan closed the door and came back, he saw Walton fanning the pot with his hand to smell the aroma.

“What a creative way to cook.”

As he spoke, Walton turned to look at Mullan.

"How are you, are you adapting to the Black Castle? I heard that Her Majesty the Queen thinks highly of you."

"Thanks to your care, I am living well here. Please have a seat. The food will be ready soon."

Walton quickly found a seat at the dining table on one side, then arranged a set of tableware, took off his gloves and waited. As the aroma stabilized, Mulan's dish was completed.

Scrambled eggs, stir-fried vegetables, and beef tenderloin with peppers are all made with butter.

Mulan sat down at his seat, used tongs to pick up the pepper beef fillet, put it on the bread slices, and made a special sandwich by holding it up and down.

"Please help yourself."

Walton rubbed his hands and followed suit. After taking the first bite, he immediately looked at Mulan with wide eyes. He didn't expect that eating it was even better than smelling it. It was so right to come here when he smelled the fragrance.

"Mu Lan, do you know what I am going out to do this time?"

"May I know?"

Mulan asked while eating. Walton was in good spirits and answered with a smile.

"Nothing, have you heard of pirate wars?"

"No."

Mulan shook his head, and Walton took a bite of bread, forked a piece of fried egg, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and then continued after swallowing it.

"There are several powerful pirate forces in the ocean. They swim in the dangerous ocean, explore various routes, rob passing ships and fight monsters in the sea. They are extremely vicious, and they also have their own order. They come in groups. Groups of pirate ships even dare to challenge the fleets of great powers head-on. Of course, now that steel battleships have begun to become the mainstream, few pirates will try to do so."

"And now is the time when the order in the pirate world is the most chaotic. Not only in the Western Ocean, but probably pirates all over the world are caught in the process of fighting and plundering each other."

"Why is this happening?"

Mulan asked, half curious and half following Walton.

"Ah ha, of course there are many reasons. In addition to the huge wealth hidden by some old pirates that attracts prying eyes, the death of some pirate leaders is also an important reason, oh yes."

Walton stuffed a mouthful of bread with pepper beef tenderloin into his mouth, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, stood up and walked quickly to the entrance, took out his hat, turned the top of the hat upward, and then clicked it. He flicked his hat and turned it over again.

The next moment, a scimitar slipped directly out of the hat.

"Gu~"

Mulan swallowed the food in his mouth and stared at this scene blankly. Was Walton a magician?

Walton grabbed the knife with his right hand and raised it up. It was a knife with a red scabbard. The scabbard was full of gold wire and inlaid with several red and sapphire stones. The blade was slightly curved with a The sheath is about four fingers wide and the handle is about one meter long.

"How about it? It's a good sword, right? Mulan, I heard that you are very good at using swords. This sword is called Sea Soul. It is the sword of the Skeleton King in the Western Ocean. Now, it belongs to you!"

With that said, Walton directly threw the knife to Mulan, who hurriedly put down his knife and fork and reached out to catch the thrown knife with a "pop~" sound.

There was an obvious feeling of heaviness in his hand, and the knife felt cold when he held it. Out of the feelings of a warrior, Mulan gently pulled out the knife. The friction between the blade and the scabbard brought out a beautiful melody, and the cold light gradually Appears on the blade, sharp, tough, and bloody.

"Dang~"

Mulan flicked the blade lightly, and the whole blade made a clear sound, as if he could hear the roar of the waves.

This is a peerless sword, and Mulan Gan even concluded that it definitely has mysterious power.

At this moment, in a small building by the lake far away in the Black Castle, Doli, who was resting in the bathtub, suddenly woke up and turned her head to look in one direction.

"Jazz, did you kill Skeletor?"

It was difficult for Mulan not to think like this while grabbing the knife, and he had even come up with a series of conspiracy theories in his mind, but Walton quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no, I can't kill him, at least not at sea, but getting this knife doesn't necessarily mean you need to confront the Skeleton King head-on. By the way, let me tell you, the Skeleton King can kill at least ten people with this knife. The heads of a sea monster, ten, sea monsters who have truly stepped into the extraordinary realm!"

Walton said this word for word, with an exaggerated smile on his face.

Mulan sheathed the knife, but goose bumps appeared on his body. In his peripheral vision, there was a blur of light and shadow around Walton's body. It was a black shadow with a hat, and the corners of Walton's mouth were raised. Continuously extending in the shadow, like an exaggerated crescent moon, scary and strange.

"By the way, newcomers usually have their physical fitness tested after half a year, but you don't have to. Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to refine your enlightenment potion. We don't want to do any rituals. You can also go through some of the roads in the Black Castle. See, this is the privilege I give you. Well, I guess the imperial royal family will also allow you to choose those private royal roads. Anyway, you can choose whatever you want, as long as you serve the empire seriously."

After saying so much, Walton started eating again and quickly finished half of the dishes, no more or less. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up.

"A very delicious meal, but I don't think you want me to stay the night."

"Sir, this knife"

"Don't you dare?"

Walton looked at Mullan and smiled when he saw him put down the knife, put on his hat, opened the door and walked out alone.

"No need to send me off, I'm still very busy tonight!"

With a "bang~" sound, the door closed by itself.

Mulan looked at the knife on the table, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking. There was a crystal clear eyeball inlaid at the end of the handle.

Mulan's breathing became slightly rapid, and he was both excited and filled with strong fear!

Walton was walking on the road to the Black Castle when he suddenly looked up at the sky at the main entrance and saw countless crows flying.

"Ah ah ah ah ah"

The crows were flying around and screaming.
