after waking up.

As Mulan said, what Leo suffered was only superficial trauma, and he also suffered mental torture during this period. Physical and mental wounds may become incurable scars for many people, but Mulan believes Jones The children of the Te family have strong willpower.

At least Mullan believed that Leo Jones was 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 from the pirates with a bitter expression, because he knew his family's ability to bear it, and he also knew his own. Affordability.

"These bastards actually want to make me a tool to please the lady, I am a nobleman of the empire!"

Old Buck said with distress and amusedly.

"Master Leo, it is indeed as you said, so your injuries are not deep, and they are afraid of breaking you."

Mulan ate the potato stew and said sullenly from the side.

"That is, 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 I've suffered so much and I'm not tough enough?"

Facing Leo's glaring stare, and Mu Lan remembering what Leo said just now to trick him into eating mosquitoes, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

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

"Cough, cough, cough."

Leo couldn't help coughing. How did Mu Lan know about this? It was true that he was a little ignorant at the beginning, and half-pushed and half-heartedly had a lingering relationship with two beautiful ladies.

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

As a result, Leo, who found something was wrong later, began to prefer death to surrender.

Facing Mulan at this moment, Leo felt somewhat guilty.

"Then, the situation at that meeting is very complicated."

"Hahahaha"

Mulan laughed, while 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 who could marry. Maybe Mulan had too much influence, both positive and negative , making Leo not trust those noble girls who came into contact with him, and the fact is often just like his intuition.

This time Mulan stayed in Valentine for a while, but it was only a week. He originally wanted to stay longer, but after he went out to buy vegetables once or twice, news of him in Valentine spread like wildfire. Let's go, there are too many nobles, businessmen and even reporters who want to visit.

Mullan gave an interview to Valentine's Daily before leaving Valentine.

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

The next day, when Mulan got off the train at Tego Railway Station, he learned from the Imperial 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 recently drawn up and issued. The major powers have carried out all-round suppression of pirates in all sea areas, and even have the assistance of lighthouse wizards.

From the moment the Pirate King and his Armada were decimated, the rules of the seas had changed.

But these are not important to Mulan, at least he doesn't need to participate in it himself.

Due to the protection of Mulan himself, Nice Helier did not disclose Mulan's achievements this time. Keeping that Vincent's identity unknown not only protects Mulan, but also maximizes the interests of Dierga.

But Mulan's merits exist objectively, and it is impossible for Helier not to reward Mulan, but because the merits cannot be transparent, it is impossible to make too exaggerated rewards.

When it finally fell on Mulan, he could only make a series of high-sounding words such as drawing up and promoting the implementation of the joint treaty, winning huge benefits for Dirga, and then Nice Helier would not grandly Mulan's Viscount level has been raised by two levels, plus the rewards of two manors.

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

Mu Lan maintained the awe he should have, saluted, received the award, thanked him, and then retired after a brief oral report, and then submitted the full report after a while.

Nice Helier didn't keep Mu Lan. After the upset impulse last time, she seldom showed any actions that went beyond the principles of the monarch and his subjects.

"He looks tired."

As Nisheril said so, Meng Geer and Grando looked at each other, and the former said.

"Extraordinary people's recovery ability is very strong. It may be because the magic power is overdrawn, and Jones needs a period of recuperation."

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

Hearing Grando's question, Nice Helier couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"He has long passed the stage of longing for power and fame. It is enough to give him financial support. Or Grando, if you promise to date him a few times, he will be very happy."

Goosebumps popped up all over Grando's body in an instant, and it was scary to think about it.

"Don't even think about this kind of thing, maybe he is with some lady right now."

In fact, Walton's magic power consumption is also extremely huge, but it is true that as Grando said, he is dating a lady, and he is very generous, and he sent a precious necklace full of gems as soon as they met, instantly making that woman The young lady held her breath.

Even if she didn't get the treasure pot of wish, in Nischelier's mind, this reward was far less than Mulan's actual contribution.

But in the eyes of those who don't know, this has become a representative event of Her Majesty's extreme favor on Mullan Jones, and even spawned some scandalous stories with nose and eyes.

How could this kind of arrangement escape Nisherier's eyes and ears, but sometimes, it's hard to say whether Her Majesty the Queen deliberately let it go, so as to let some outstanding noble girls know not to get too close to Mulan.

But these are completely indifferent to Mu Lan. On the surface, the title of title is not in place, but he is definitely one step further away from the center of power. The Queen and some important ministers definitely have deeper trust in him. More importantly, some top-secret information will be sent to him. Decrypt more.

And now a considerable part of Mulan's mind has drifted to the secret realm of the Siluius World Tree.

But be patient!Have to think carefully!
When Mu Lan returned to Castle Black to check the changes and progress of the students during this period, he was already thinking about where to start the experiment of destroying the sacred objects.

Under the shadow of the huge canopy of the distant Siruias World Tree, the treasure pot of wish with a graceful curved shape is quietly located there.

This is the supreme holy object that almost everyone in the world wants to obtain, but now it is obtained by a person or organization who doesn't even want to use it to make a wish.

At the end of November, the first snow of this winter fell in Tego, and Mulan was explaining some points of attention in detail in the large classroom to many students who were close to breaking through.

"Hmm, cough, cough."

A fake cough came from the door, and Mulan turned his head to look, and saw Matt standing there.

"Oh, Professor Jones, are you giving a lecture? I happened to pass by, um, is it convenient for me to say a few words?"

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

"No, no, I'll just discuss a few words with you casually, you see."

Matt took out a trial version of "Truth and Magic" that was not fully finalized.

"The fourth issue of the journal is about to come out. The great papers published by the two of us and Professor Alofa are 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, Mu Lan was very cooperative, and this face still needs to be given.

"No, no, Professor Matt, this is a great achievement in the history of alchemy, and it is destined to have a chapter in history. It cannot be overestimated. Perhaps in future journals, it will be quoted and discussed. There will be no less."

Matt looked at the journal gravely.

"Tsk, it's true what you said, so that's the way it is. People from the editorial department came to ask me if I could fix the issue like this. I was a little hesitant at first, but after hearing what you said as a co-author, 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 casually pointed to the journal.

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

What satisfies Matt the most about Castle Black is that it has taught a group of knowledgeable real students. When he heard what he said, almost all the students below took a breath, and this reaction was enough.

"Well, Professor Johnst, you continue, I have to stop by the editorial office to reply."

"Okay, then you go first, I will find you later."

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

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