After waking up

Naturally, there was no condition to wash up properly tonight, and Mulan didn't want to disturb the residents of this household anymore, and he also felt warm and wanted to take a rest.

"Handel, just take off your shoes and coat when you go to bed tonight, and be careful not to sleep too hard."

"Good professor."

Of course Handel understood what Mulan meant. He took off his coat and put it on the chair aside, and stuffed the gun under the pillow. Mulan sat on the bed and watched Handel's movements, and suddenly said something.

"Handel, you should also improve your fighting skills. Guns alone are not enough in many cases. Only by cooperating with fighting can you bring out the maximum ability of your body in the enlightened stage."

Handel thought of Mulan's terrifying strength on the train, and he suddenly yearned for it.

"I understand Professor, although my fighting foundation is not bad, I will definitely strengthen my training. I suggest that the school add fighting courses. It would be best if, Professor, you can come and teach me."

In the minds of most, or almost all, students such as Handel, the black castle where they study and live is a school, and this trend exists regardless of its current status or future development.

"Good advice. I will arrange it as soon as possible when I get back. Even if I can't spare time to take care of the fighting lessons myself, I will definitely help you find a suitable professor."

Because the teaching staff of Black Castle is stretched thin, Mulan has already made suggestions to Walton and the Queen, hoping that some forces directly under the royal family can participate in teaching, and suitable teachers can naturally be found for fighting classes.

Of course, this suggestion won the heart of Nice Helier. Under the ambiguous attitude shown by Walton, she could justifiably send the royal family's power into the Black Castle to teach, which was equivalent to strengthening the control of the Black Castle. .

Mulan and Handel discussed the werewolf on the train for a while, and then feeling sleepy, they took off their coats and covered themselves with quilts to sleep. After closing their eyes for less than a minute, Mulan fell asleep.

In his sleep, Mulan's spirit was like riding on a floating boat, and gradually it seemed to be floating directly in the warm water. Lying in a gentle sway, he could feel the growth of his body, his bones, muscles, internal organs, and even his mental power and soul. , are stretching slowly.

Opening his eyes, Mulan could not see any formal colors, but he could feel his spiritual body. Lying on his back, he could feel the wings of light and the wings of devil, but here, light and Darkness is two-in-one.

In other words, at this moment, Mulan feels that he has two spirits and two bodies, but this is not schizophrenia, because the consciousness of the two is one.

The light is not scorching and harsh, and the demon is not violent and cruel. However, it is obvious that the energy of darkness grows faster, and there is a sense of satisfaction after a good meal. The flesh and blood of the demon body also grows stronger and becomes stronger. Much more real.

"professor!"

Following Handel's low cry, Mulan opened his eyes instantly. The room was not too dark at the moment. After their eyesight adapted to the darkness, they could see everything clearly with the moonlight shining in from the window. Very clear.

"Professor, listen, the wolf howls!"

Just a few seconds after Handel finished speaking, a faint howl of wolves could be heard.

"Ouch."

The sound was obviously not nearby, and the howling of wolves could travel very far. Judging from the volume of sound heard by Mullan and Handel, the distance was definitely not too close, but since it could be heard, it was not too far away.

After waiting for a while, no more wolf howls were heard. Just when Handel was about to speak, another wolf howl came.

"Ouch."

This time the sound was much closer, and it even gave people the feeling that it was right next to the town of Shire. Mulan frowned slightly, and Handel opened the quilt and took out a pistol from under the pillow.

In Shire Town, there were first some barking sounds one after another, and then the barking became more intense, as if all the dogs in the town were roaring.

The howl of the wolf did not come again. Handel stood by the window with his gun in hand and waited for a long time. He turned to look at Mulan and found that the latter was still lying covered with a quilt.

"Rest, they are looking for the vampire, but they seem to have some kind of tacit understanding with Ciel and will not come in casually."

"tacit agreement?"

Handel was startled.

"Stop being so startled, go to sleep."

Seeing that the professor seemed to have understood something, Handel didn't ask any more questions, nodded and lay back on the bed.

Early the next morning, Mullan and Handel were having breakfast at a resident's home. A group of people had already arrived outside the resident's house. Their clothes were much more luxurious than the people here, and there were people in uniforms in front of them to clear the way.

They stopped outside the house. A man with a mustache dressed as a gentleman walked in the middle. When he saw the door of the house open, his eyes skipped the head of the house and locked his eyes directly on Mulan and Handel in front of the dining table. The temperament is not comparable to that of the Shire country people.

A smile appeared on the mustache man's face and he took a few steps forward quickly.

"Oh, I wonder which one is Lord Knight Jones?"

Handel stood up and took two steps away, standing at a similar position to the family who had left the table earlier. Mulan was the only one still sitting.

"I am Mullan Jonest. What can I do for you?"

The man looked surprised. After walking into the house, he quickly took a few steps forward and bowed slightly naturally.

"Lord Jonest, my Lord Baron heard that Lord Jonest is here, and specially ordered me to come and invite you. Sir, please be sure to follow me to the Baron's mansion."

The mustachioed man glanced at the dining table as he spoke. He saw a pot of unknown soup, a black bread with a few slices cut into it, and a small basin of some soup that was obviously reheated overnight, so he added.

"The Baron has ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous breakfast. Please be sure to go with Sir Jones, uh, and this Sir!"

Baron of Shire, a hereditary title. In the old days, the town of Shire was the territory of their family, and even the name of the town was named after their family's surname.

Even in today's era, after several changes, the empire has nominally taken back the territorial ownership and taxation rights of all nobles, but in fact some local nobles still have great influence in the local area, and they still have a considerable degree of influence. The more remote or far away from the center of power the more management power is.

Of course some parts that cross the line are illegal.

Mulan stood up.

"Okay, since Baron Charles invited us and we are both nobles, I will naturally go. Handel, let's go."

"Yes, Professor."

The mustached man was slightly startled, Professor? But there was still a smile on his face.

"You two, please follow me, the carriage is right outside!"

Parked outside was a rather luxurious carriage, with a black exterior decorated with various brushed edges, and a rock flower carved in the middle, which was the emblem of the Charles family.

The two of them and the man with the moustache got on the carriage one after another, and soon the carriage started moving, quickly traveling through Shire Town, and then exiting Shire Town directly from the other side.

Handel was slightly surprised.

"Huh? Baron Charles's residence is not in the town?"

The mustached man smiled and explained.

"How can the noble Baron family live with common people?"

Handel grinned.

"Her Majesty the Queen still lives in Digao like a commoner."

Mulan smiled and said something out loud.

"Digao is very prosperous, how can it compare with Shire."

"Yes, yes, Lord Jones is right."

The mustached man echoed this, but felt something was wrong.

The carriage continued along a relatively flat road, and finally passed through a somewhat sparse woodland, arriving in front of the mansion at the foot of the mountain. Just looking at the appearance, Baron Charles's mansion was magnificent, and the former mine boss was indeed very dignified.

After Mullan and Handel got off the carriage and walked into the main entrance of the mansion, a man standing inside with two servants took the initiative to greet them.

"Hahahahaha, it is truly an honor for Her Majesty the Queen's Guardian Knight to come to the Shire!"

This is a man who looks to be in his thirties or forties at most. He is very well-dressed and somewhat retro, with brooches and cufflinks dotted with jewelry, and a warm smile on his face.

Mulan raised his head slightly and stared at Baron Charles with squinted eyes for a moment, then returned to normal and greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you, Baron Charles, for the invitation. It was us who disturbed you."

Vampires, to be precise, are vampires that have not been completely transformed. They retain most of the characteristics of ordinary people, but they have gone through the ritual, but they have not officially "tried it" yet. They are half-human and half-vampire, but they already instinctively hate sunlight.

A vampire in this state, as long as he can resist the temptation of blood, is generally extremely difficult to detect, because he is basically the same as ordinary people. Even if he can restrain his disgust and fear, he can still walk in the sun.

But for Mulan, he could see through it at a glance. The devil in the shadow had already smiled, and the dark creatures were invisible to Mulan.
