At the end of the first class in the morning, Cha Cha woke up.

This is the most stable and down-to-earth sleep of the girl in half a month.

After waking up and sitting quietly on the bed for a few seconds, the girl checked her body in a panic as if she remembered something, and blushed again when she found that even her clothes were intact.

What are you thinking, stupid......

She was ashamed of her bad thoughts, but she was also relieved.

Cha Cha tidied up her clothes and walked out, stepping on the carpet barefoot, walking cautiously, like a kitten who has just entered a new home.

She saw Mu Yan sitting in the study, seemed to sense her arrival, turned her head to look at it and ignored it.

After thinking about it, Cha Cha leaned over and asked:

"Can I do something for you, Mr. Mu Yan?"

"Hmm, can you make me a cup of tea?"

"Of course."

After a while, a cup of steaming fragrant tea was placed in front of Mu Yan.

To his surprise, the tea leaves are the leaves of Yanbiluo, an herb that has the effect of brightening the eyes and minds, and is suitable for those who are reading.

He remembered that Amatho had indeed stuffed a large pile of tea leaves in the kitchen cupboard, most of which had come from Miss Grace's gifts—or rather from the Jones Chamber of Commerce's archives. But this girl found Yan Biluo casually, was it a chance or did she really understand?

"Do you know anything about this?" Mu Yan pointed to the tea leaves.

"This is a smoke from Turing, and I did my homework in advance when I bought it with my father. The illustrated book shows this kind of tea before picking and after roasting, and I have written it down. Cha Cha replied, lowered her head and thought about it again. My father and mother met in the tea plantation of Felwood, so my nickname was Cha Cha...... I remember how many kinds of tea looked like......"

"I see......"

Mu Yan was thoughtful. He only learned from the other party that Cha Cha's father was a merchant and his goods were very mixed.

"Do you know all those in the kitchen cupboard?"

Cha Cha was slightly stunned, and then nodded hesitantly.

"I can recognize eighty or ninety percent, and some are not very sure. But, but just give me some time to recognize it! ”

The girl looked a little excited, and even her small fists clenched slightly.

Seeing this, Mu Yan smiled, "Don't be nervous, I just asked casually." Well...... Anyway, don't worry. ”

Cha Cha sighed, and then stood quietly aside, never waiting for the next step, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Mu, Mr. Mu Yan...... Is there anything else to do? I, I can do a lot of housework, but the house seems to be ...... by that one"

"His name is Ah Yin."

"Thank you...... Mr. Ah Yin seems to be very hardworking, he will clean the house every day, and he will not let go of any corner...... Me, can I take some of the work on his behalf? ”

Mu Yan closed the book and stared at her with interest.

The girl was stared at uncomfortably, her long eyelashes fluttering uneasily, and her face quickly flushed.

"Actually, there is something I really want to explain to you, but before we can make it clear that this matter is quite important, and you must have the consciousness of 'keeping a secret'. You should be able to understand that, right? Similar to the secret secrets in the Chamber of Commerce, such as accounts, recipes, pre-bidding expectations, how many gold coins are in hand, etc., and that thing can be quite boring. ”

Cha Cha took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"I do, Mr. Mu Yan! I'll keep it a secret! ”

"That's good."

Mu Yan smiled like a cunning fox, and took out a bunch of manuscripts when he changed his hand.

It recorded the various magic circles he planned to build in the "hive", and they all had to be handed over to the two underground AIs for deduction, calculation, and screening first, and he couldn't spare time to complete this work now.

Now it would be nice to have someone who knows the bottom line to help, especially since the other party doesn't know anything about magic, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets and thinking nonsense. As for the mistakes or something, there are those two AIs, and as long as he checks them regularly, he will be absolutely fine.

"If you don't understand it, write it down first, and someone will explain it to you from the beginning."

Cha Cha reached out to take it, but pounced.

She looked at Mu Yan with some puzzlement, and the latter's expression was still serious.

"One more confirmation, Miss Chacha. I hope you've really thought it through this half month. ”

"I'm convinced, Mr. Mu Yan." Cha Cha looked at the intact glass, and there was a hint of longing in her eyes. "I want to get the kind of magic that heals the wounds to get Judy's forgiveness...... At the same time, in order to live, I offer you my loyalty, as well as insignificant strength. ”

"And for your future safety." Mu Yan added.

"Yes, and for myself." Tea ceremony, as he spoke, he knelt down, his forehead pressed against the ground.

Mu Yan didn't stop her.

After a long time, she got up again and reached for the roll. This time, Mu Yan did not withdraw and handed over the things to her.

"As for housework...... Ah Yin will do it, and you'd better not interfere. He's a stinky guy and doesn't like people to disrupt his rhythm. So don't go to him even if you have a problem. Well...... You can go next door and ask Miss Lina and invite her to your house, and then if the two of them have a good conversation...... You know what to do, right? ”

"Know, I'll go to the yard and water the flowers."

"Hmm...... Very smart. ”

Mu Yan rubbed Cha Cha's little head with satisfaction, he thought of the kitten people that Principal Wynn had left behind in Morrowind.

It's been done.

------------------

In the afternoon, Mu Yan came to the "hive".

The mage gladiatorial arena opposite seemed to welcome two quite popular visitors, and there were quite a few spectators parked at the door. In comparison, the hive is still deserted.

Except for the time he used it in the pit, no one came for a long time.

However, after all, Jialan Academy has a big family, such a good place, it is empty and empty, and I don't feel distressed at all.

Mu Yanxin walked in, and as soon as one foot crossed the door line, he suddenly stopped, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Someone is waiting for him here......

After a slight pause, he stepped in quietly.

The structure of the hive is similar to that of the mage's gladiatorial arena, in the retro Klaman style, and the emptiness of the field is not far behind the open-air starlight arena of the Wind Firmament.

The circular field, surrounded by a barrel-shaped protective net, was supposed to be dismantled in advance by Mu Yan when he did something bad.

Surrounded by rising chairs, it was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people due to the use of spatial magic similar to that of the Great Hall of Weston, far more than it seemed from the outside.

The honeycomb-shaped meditation room for the mages to instill their magic was directly below the audience seats, and was well soundproofed and shock-absorbed, so that the special structure should have been the result of a dispute between the old Duke Clark and the Academy, and both sides compromised.

Mu Yan came to the middle, and a figure stood straight.

Arrogant, cold, emaciated, if accompanied by a breeze blowing his robe, it is almost like the protagonist of the play.

Genius mage Lucien Clark.

Mr. Gain's precious son, the fiancé of Emma the witch, and the mage who saved Deres at the last minute on his trip to the White Rock mines.

Mu Yan was very impressed by this little guy, he was a serious nobleman, a real nobleman, proud of his bloodline, proud of his identity, and committed to maintaining this glory - not just talking about it, exactly the same guy as the traditional elves.

This leads to him being a bastard who talks about untouchables, and hates untouchables as much as he cares about his nobility.

Lucien seemed to have waited a long time.

However, Mu Yan is a person with a bad taste after all, and with the perception of a legendary mage, he can completely wrap the other party, isolate his perception in all aspects, so that he can't feel his approach.

So Mu Yan quietly came to the back of this cool guy and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Bang"

Lucien was worthy of being the best among battle mages, and the ring of fire resistance on his robes exploded in an instant, and a cyclone of flames rose from under his feet, plowing a spiral-shaped indentation on the ground.

He himself turned into a white light that flashed three times in a row, and jumped out of the distance. Like a frightened rabbit.

Tsk,Serial flash.,This is at least 8 points in the game.。

If the mage does not improve his constitution through additional means such as potions, quests, equipment, etc., he needs at least level 40 to have an additional 3 points of constitution bonus only by relying on the bonus brought by the level, which is almost a turtle speed progress.

And the person in front of him is only 19 years old this year, and he has reached this level, which can be called a template for genius.

Lucian seemed to be frightened by Mu Yan, his face twitched unnaturally a few times, and his cold appearance was a little stiff.

What do you say is not good, you have to pretend to be a cool brother......

"Mr. Mu Yan." Lucien said.

"Shouldn't you call me teacher?"

"I've long since graduated."

"Oh...... Lucian is waiting for me? "He's not verbose.

"Yes, I am here on behalf of my father ......"

Mu Yan interrupted him: "Why are you waiting here?" Didn't Mr. Gaine tell you the location of my apartment? ”

Lucien was interrupted, feeling Mu Yan's rudeness, and said a little angrily: "I know that Barry is here to find out if there are any traces of spells, after all, you said that the 'trials' of the Orientals are somewhat similar to illusions." ”

"So you found it?"

"Nope. But I've heard that you've got that unbroken newspaper office from Barry, and you've been in contact with the Silver Candle Society and the Cape of Kane, so I think the next step might have something to do with it. ”

Mu Yan couldn't help but sigh that the other party had so much eyeliner, and this kid's thoughts were really jumping.

"Why?" He asked.

Feeling that things were back under his control, Brother Ku cleared his throat, habitually hooked the corners of his mouth, and said in a tone of pride and control: "Reason-"

"It's simple, isn't it?" Mu Yan interrupted him again: "I was ashamed to say in front of your father that I didn't need their help, and then I followed other people's butts to 'pick up' things along the way." There are only two things that can be picked up in the academy, Barry's abandoned newspaper office, and this beehive—I've been here before, and you'll be able to find traces of what I've done. Coupled with what happened today, it is not difficult to see with your energy that I discussed the refinement of magic with the people of the Silver Candle Society, and did not promise Kane's horn...... There's a good chance I'm going to pick things up again, isn't it? ”

Lucien choked on him for a long time before he snorted coldly.

"Hmph, it's good that you know."

"Oh?" Mu Yan smiled, "But don't you want to think about it, what is the difference between you saying the above words and me saying the above words?" Is it under your control, or is it mine? The two of us will meet here, and you expected me to come...... Or did I expect you to be waiting for me here, so I came to the appointment? The difference, Lu Xi'an probably understands, right? ”

Lucien's expression fluctuated slightly.

This is the disadvantage of thinking jumps, you can think too much, so it is easy to give up your original ideas.

"But you're here anyway." He insisted.

"That's right, I'm here. And I knew you would come," Mu Yan smiled, "Then again, did Duke Clark tell you the specific details of what happened in the Hot Springs Country that day?" ”

Lucien shook his head.

"He just praised you to me. He seldom compliments a man like that, and you are not much older than me. ”

"Then I'm going to say thank you. It seems that he also knows that this is a scandal. What I call 'trials' amplify the desires of the deep part of the soul – of course, I usually do it with permission. ”

Lucien frowned: "What do you want to say?" ”

"That day, I showed Mr. Frank's desires in front of everyone," Mu Yan hooked the corners of his mouth and said bewildermently, "Guess what it is?" ”

Lucien suddenly snorted in disgust, "Woman? ”

"Smack"

Mu Yan couldn't help but snap his fingers.

"So, guess again, who is this woman?"

"How could I possibly know that? I don't have the heart to care about that. ”

"Emma's mother." Mu Yan smiled.

"What?"

For the first time, demeanor slipped away from the cool guy's face, and he was so angry that the temperature around him was rising. The elements were steaming and boiling, and a trace of white gas swirled around him.

Mu Yan once again sighed that this guy has a good talent, but there is a silent enchantment in the whole field above his head, so that he can mobilize such an equivalent element, and the strength of the purple robe is quite solid.

Will you be able to wear a white robe in another 20 years?

Tsk, tsk, terrifying.

It's just that this kind of person turned out to be a supporter of the theory of blood, how did the Clark family do it? Or do they believe in the theory of descent on the surface, but behind the scenes, they still use the theory of traditional mages to educate Lu Xi'an? Otherwise, how could this guy have such a solid foundation.

Moreover, Mu Yan did not detect a trace of divine power from the other party. In other words, Lucien's abilities were all cultivated by himself, and he had not been helped by the likes of Ikali or Yso.

There is no imprint on him either.

The anger came and went quickly, and Lucien quickly calmed down.

He seemed to realize his gaffe, and realized that Mu Yan was doing this on purpose, smiled self-deprecatingly, and was about to say something, but Mu Yan took the lead again.

"If my father is like this, what about Barry? What do you think is the 'inner demon' that he is hiding in the deepest part of his soul and does not want to tell anyone? ”

was provoked and guided by Mu Yan so intentionally or unintentionally, and Lu Xi'an's anger that he had finally suppressed came up again.

He instinctively followed this line of thought, and although Mu Yan didn't say anything, he had already come up with an answer.

Barry's father, Emma's mother.

Barry, Emma......

"Smack"

Mu Yan snapped his fingers again, and a magical image appeared in the air, it was Miss Judy.

The image is a little hazy, and Judy is rarely wearing a double ponytail. However, from this point of view, she has a bit of a mysterious resemblance to the witch Emma, coupled with the irrepressible eccentricity in her eyebrows and eyes, the two are almost the same in low quality.

"I don't need to say anything, this is the last girl in Barry who was waiting for an opportunity, but fortunately, she was heroically saved by someone."

Mu Yan poured oil on his anger again.

Bang bang bang

The surrounding air made a sound of violent elemental friction and detonation, and the empty hall was suddenly filled with the smell of gunsmoke that could only be found on the battlefield.

The aura on this cool brother's body is also a little stronger than before, and the extreme emotions really make people progress......

"I know...... I know ......"

Lucien deliberately kept his voice down, which he had to do in order to make himself appear calmer.

"I'm not surprised that anyone has that desire, and Barry does. But why do you present me with such a sordid thought, so nakedly and unabashedly in front of me, to make me angry? ”

"Because I'm dealing with Barry, I don't want him to stay alive, or sober, out of confinement. If possible, I hope that he will be well cared for for for the rest of his life, and that he can spend the rest of his life in bed. Mu Yan said lightly, as if expressing his sincere blessings to others. In order not to let me be discovered, I need some help now. ”

"So you're using me?"

"That's right, as I said to your father, I was using them, and right now, I'm using you. I have always believed that the two sides have made it clear that mutual use is an advanced form of cooperation, because it saves the links of intrigue, hypocrisy and wrongdoing, and is suitable for people like you and me who are too lazy to go through the procedure. ”

Lucien gave him a deep look, "What do you want me to do?" I would like to know your plans. ”

"I can only draw you a loaf of bread, as I showed your father—by the way, he sent you to me, I guess he was going to give you an answer, right? The Clark family, which originated from the Council of Six, a parliamentary family with noble blood and a long heritage, should have given an extraordinary answer to this Oriental request, right? ”

Mu Yan smiled and pointed to the top of the two heads. "Like this?"

Lucien was not verbose, and threw out a roll of things with a flick of his hand.

The parchment looked to be a few years old, and even with the addition of the sealing spell, the corners were slightly worn.

"As you wish, sir. The contract of this 'hive'. Now it's completely yours. Lucian said, his cold look as if he had just thrown away a copper coin, not a priceless deed.

"This is the most expensive investment ever made by the Clark people since my grandfather's generation, and I hope you can live up to your father's eyes."

"Of course." Mu Yan accepted it with a smile.

"This is my deal with His Excellency Gaine, and now let's talk about the 'future'. First of all, since the people from the Elemental Tower hadn't come to the door for so long, it was clear that Lord Gain didn't want the Tower to know about it either. Please keep this a secret. I'm not a believer after all, so I hate to be associated with the clergy, which is why I chose to come to Jialan instead of Morning Star. ”

"Please continue."

"Good." Mu Yan nodded, "The second point is also the cooperation of the two of us. In the near future, if Samuel and Barry have a request for you, I hope you will help them in my sake. ”

"Help them?" Lucien frowned, "Are you sure you're right?" ”

"Of course...... Anyway, you just do it, if you want to make Barry ...... by gentle means, if you want to do it like me."

"I didn't say it was a 'gentle' tactic, I wish you were going to kill him now, and then hang yourself in the Square of Truth." Lucien snorted, making no secret of his hostility.

Mu Yan was not annoyed, and smiled: "I'll just give you a promise, that's all I have to say." ”

Without saying a word, Lucien took out the teleportation stone and was about to leave.

It's a replacement for the large teleportation stone, and it's pretty good. The difference between the two is that of an airplane and a bicycle, but in this era of per capita walking, this is already a luxury.

The portal opened, and as soon as he stepped in with one foot, he suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Mu Yan, has anyone ever told you that you are a person who gets along very badly?" ”

"Hmm...... Like what? ”

"For example, it's rude to interrupt someone—"

"No problem, I'll change it."

Lucien choked on surprise again.

"Hmph."
