after waking up.

Chapter 243 Incorporation into the Asterisk

On the afternoon of August [-], the train that Mulan was on stopped at Valentine Railway Station. He stood up from the carriage alone, and got off the train with a suitcase.

Mulan didn't inform anyone, but just called a taxi to go home. When he arrived at the door, he calmed down his mood and knocked on the door.

"dong dong dong"

Not long after, Old Buck opened the door from the inside, and saw Mulan standing at the door with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa Buck!"

"Master Mulan! Come in, come in, when did you arrive, why didn't you let me pick you up? You should be able to use the telegram, right?"

Old Buck's eyes were full of surprises, and he hurriedly helped Mulan carry the box, talking constantly.

"It's better for me to come here directly, no telegram is needed."

The two kept talking and walked to the dining room, before Mulan sat down, and Old Buck started tidying up the kitchen again, ready to show off his skills.

"Master Mulan, you must be used to good food in the imperial capital. I don't know if the food I made can still enter your mouth."

"Grandpa Buck, to be honest, the chefs in the palace can't match your skills."

Mu Lan said so, while taking off his hat and putting it on the table, he said in a very normal tone.

"I'll bring Leo back in a while, and I'll give you enough time to prepare, and we'll have a big meal."

Old Buck paused for a moment, and then resumed what he had just done.

"The children of the Jones family are always ready. Master Mulan, if Master Leo is gone, you don't have to worry about me. If he is still alive, I believe you can bring him back."

Old Buck didn't turn around, and his voice was relatively calm, but Mu Lan didn't walk over, but repeated what he said just now.

"As long as he is alive, I will definitely bring him back."

Even if Leo is really dead, Mulan will bring back his bones, and if he can't find the bones, he will bring back his relics. In short, he will bring Leo back.

Old Buck seemed to be heaving a sigh of relief, turning the table knife in his hand around his fingertips, and turning around, his eyes became extremely sharp.

"Master Mulan, let me go too. Although I am old, I should not be unfamiliar with sword skills."

Don't don't!
Mulan stood up quickly.

"No need, Grandpa Buck, you can just wait here for the news, and you don't have to worry about me. Unlike Leo, I am an extraordinary person with unimaginable power, so there is no danger. I act alone It's also more convenient."

Although Mu Lan said it more tactfully, Old Buck understood that he was worried about himself.

"It seems that I am really old, let's prepare dinner first."

Only then did Mu Lan feel relieved, it would be very difficult for the old man to be stubborn.

Although I haven't been back for a long time, it's very easy to go back to this home. The main reason is that all the familiar things have not changed, and Leo has not married a wife, so Mulan doesn't feel strange when he comes back, as if he came back the next day after leaving.

And the next morning, Mulan got up earlier than Old Buck, left a note and left alone, and got on the train to Bayer Port.

The less than five-hour drive ended quickly, and the city of Bayer Port appeared outside the train window.

Although the size of the city is far smaller than that of Valentine, the port of Bayer Port is not small. Almost one-third of the merchant ships here are owned by a family, which belongs to the industry of Alva and is also the famous Dilga Empire. "The Earl of the Sea".

Mulan got off the train calmly, then walked along the port city to the seaside, standing on the street near the port, with the damp sea breeze blowing towards her face.

It is mainly for commercial use, and there are almost no cruise ships. The various docks in the port are full of busy scenes, and it is another style from the hometown of Valentine.

"I thought you were going to be late."

Walton's voice sounded not far away, and Mulan's gaze turned to that direction. He was sitting on the edge of a pile of boxes shaking a whole bottle of wine, and then threw the wine over, and Mulan caught it with one hand. .

"Here you go, this wine is a bit strong, but the aftertaste is good, but I don't like it very much, hey, and Mrs. Anlott's body temperature~"

The corner of Mu Lan's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't know who Mrs. Annlott was, but she was probably some pretty lady. This kind of person and Walton should belong to each other.

Mulan uncorked the wine and smelled it. It should taste good, but he didn't drink it, but put it in his carry-on box.

With sharp eyes, Walton caught a glimpse of a suit of special clothes in Mulan's box.

"You brought a change of clothes? We're not traveling!"

"Indeed, I don't think I can go to sea in such a decent dress?"

Mulan simply opened the box, and the clothes inside were in a rough style, including a vest and a leather jacket, loose trousers, a headscarf that can wipe sweat and cover the head, gloves and solid shoes, a set of sailor-style clothes.

"Oh~"

Walton sighed and whistled again.

Mu Lan closed the box and approached Walton, then looked at the many large ships in the port.

"Which ship are we going to board, and what exactly will we do?"

Walton pointed in one direction.

"Pier No. [-], the Sky Star, is loaded with spices. It and several other ships will get lost in the siren's song after going out to sea, and will be taken to a strange open sea. Then the Sky Star and a ship escape by chance."

"And what about the crew?"

Walton shrugged.

"Who knows, it depends on one's luck, oh yes, I'll give it back to you."

Walton poured out another thing from the hat. It was the "Sea Soul" he had kept for a long time. Mulan didn't recognize it for a while, because the color of the knife changed, and the scabbard also changed. No more, even the handle of the knife was rewrapped with cloth strips.

Seeing Mu Lan's frowning and suspicious eyes, Walton quickly waved his hand.

"Don't look at me like that, the knife must be that knife, with a little modification, you can use magic to break the seal on it, but even if you don't, it's still extremely sharp."

"Is it really good to use this knife at sea, won't the Pirate King notice it?"

"So try not to release it. Its existence can make some special and well-informed sea monsters perceive you who have completely restrained your breath, so as not to cause misunderstandings."

Mu Lan gently pulled out the sea soul, the blade was as bright as a new cold light.

"Part siren?"

"Yeah, you can't tell everyone, can you?"

"Then what if there is an accidental injury?"

Walton smiled.

"Hey hey, if any sea monster attacks you, you don't have to worry about anything. Of course, don't use too exaggerated and obvious power."

"You've been talking about me, what about you?"

"I'm taking another sea route. If I'm with you, I can't hide it from Blomfield. After the last time, he is extremely sensitive to my breath."

Mulan frowned fiercely.

"I'm going near Bloomfield?"

Walton snapped his fingers and looked towards the sea.

"To be precise, it is a pirate fleet mixed into Bloomfield. They will go to find the top three sacred objects in the legend - the treasure pot of wishes. We will slowly adjust the plan midway, um, if your brother is still alive, Perhaps this route has the greatest chance of finding him."

"Don't think too much about it. I don't know about your brother and that pirate. I only know that Bloomfield is looking for the Pot of Wishes and has clues. The original plan is also different. It can only be said that an accident prompted us to act."

Mulan snorted coldly and said nothing. Whether Walton's explanation was true or false didn't mean much to him.

"Then I wish you good luck. I believe you have enough ability and brains to adapt to changing circumstances. I have already made the most basic arrangements for the Tianxing, just go directly there, finally."

Walton paused.

"Don't die."

After speaking, Walton put on his hat and walked towards a pier in the distance.

Holding a slightly curved knife in his hand, Mulan watched Walton go away, looked around, and then turned into a small alley. When he appeared again, he was already dressed as a capable sailor, except for a man with a shoulder on one side. The coarse cloth bag, even the original suitcase has been thrown away.

A cargo ship with no passengers is naturally the most suitable sailor to board the ship.

As for the face, Mu Lan lightly cut the corner of the eye, and the wound quickly scabbed, adding a bit of fierceness to the face. At the same time, the body's functions were also rapidly metabolizing, and a beard of about half an inch grew on the lips and chin in a few minutes. Stubble, and then wrap the turban.

It's just a simple change, but it can distinguish the appearance from the heroic Viscount Jones, without any illusion or surgery.

Afterwards, I deliberately tanned, and with slightly sunken eye sockets, it can be said that the closest people can only recognize it when they look closely.

When walking towards the Tianxing, Mu Lan had already begun to imitate what a sailor should look like in his heart. Under the unique resonance, some of his breath also moved closer to the surrounding sailors.

On the edge of the springboard of Tianxing, the chief mate was looking at the port from time to time. Suddenly, he saw Mu Lan and saw the knife on his back, and hurried out.

"You are finally here, Vincent. We are short of manpower here. Hurry up and help us move the goods together! Don't be dazed, we are busy, so hurry up and work if you want to eat—"

Mulan drifted with the crowd, moved the spices piled up on the dock with other sailors and dock workers, and the others just looked at him and the knife behind his back before continuing to work.

The sailors recruited by the Earl of the Sea have been investigated, and many of them are retired imperial troops, and sometimes they will fight pirates when they encounter pirates, not to mention carrying a knife, and there are not a few with guns, even if they don’t bring them , Weapons will also be issued when fighting is needed.
