Chapter Eighty-Six: Coming to the Door
On April 16, Mu Yan appeared in the Krubel neighborhood.
It's adjacent to the Cruze neighborhood and closer to the outtown, but housing prices have plummeted like Niagara Falls — all because there are no "aristocracy" restrictions, and anyone who is a legal citizen of Farblue City can buy a property here.
In other words, it was full of untouchables in the eyes of the purebred aristocracy, so much so that many shy barons and viscounts would rather live on the outskirts of the city forty miles away than live here.
In the early morning of mid-April, the chill had not yet cleared, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets, mostly door-to-door milk delivery and newsboys from the Magic Daily. Most of them wore thick felt hats, sturdy deerskin boots, and their tiny bodies were wrapped in the old trench coats worn by their father or father's father, and looked from afar like moving wooden stakes.
Mu Yan looked up at the eyes of the mages around them—although they were invisible, they could not be hidden under the perception of the legendary mage. He thought about it, and then gave up his plan to use stealth.
Instead, the ghost walk began.
He carefully avoided the newsboys, lest the escaping cold frostbite them, and he made a great circle around the Gawain house.
Because this place is out of Jialan Academy, all the infrastructure for building illusions has to be completed by himself.
When he was ready, he found a corner and reappeared, straightened his clothes, walked to the door, and then slammed the iron door.
About forty seconds later, a bloated red-nosed maid opened the door and respectfully welcomed him in.
"Welcome, Mr. Mu Yan."
"That's right, it's me."
Mu Yan smiled.
The doorways of such high-end residential areas are fixed with a magic circle similar to a monitoring facility, connected to a light curtain at the other end, so he is not surprised that the maid can call her name.
And the owner of the house, Gawain, reacted the same as he thought, there was no hatred in his eyes, no complaints, but a slight unnaturalness on his face - after all, he secretly studied what others had sent him, and blew it up, not to mention injuring himself.
"You're here...... Humiliate me? ”
He asked, standing in the doorway.
"Of course not," Mu Yan shrugged, "Hmm...... I haven't eaten breakfast yet. ”
Gawain understood, he thought for a moment and nodded.
"If you don't like it, we can have breakfast together."
"Praise you for your generosity, Mr. Gawain."
Mu Yan smiled, took off his hat and scarf and hung them up.
"Mr. Mu Yan," Gawain turned around suddenly, and the man, who was a little depressed because of his dismissal, suddenly looked at him pleadingly, and said in a low voice: "Tessa she doesn't know about me, so she ......"
"Oh...... I understand, she didn't know you were suspended at home. ”
"That's right, I said I took a leave of absence to come back to accompany her."
"Okay, I know what to say." Mu Yan patted him on the shoulder, and Gao Wen cast a grateful look.
Gawain's breakfast was quite sumptuous, probably related to his wife's pregnancy.
Miss Tessa has a baby face, and if it weren't for her big belly, she really looks like a quiet girl with her eyes closed. This makes her and the slightly vicissitudes of Gawain together, like a father and daughter more than a husband and wife.
She seemed to be a far cry from the ladies of the world, probably because her abundance of adventures had given her a mixture of innocence and maturity. According to Gawain, this was the priest of their mercenary group at that time, and he was also a Morning Star.
So is MT a popular priest girl in a bubble group? Mu Yan was slandered.
With Gawain's identity as a gilded swordsman, if he joins the Morningstar Empire, he can at least be a baron, although he can't be hereditary because he married a civilian girl, but if war breaks out, it is still possible to accumulate some military merits.
However, he came to Jialan and became a member of the vast number of mages, and finally the mage was killed by his own experiments, and at the same time, he also felt that it was a waste of life to protect a mage who did not go to fight, so he joined the horn of Kane, thinking of becoming a member of the hunting team, but by mistake became the head of the Demon Nexus District, and he did it for several years.
The personnel chaos in Cape Kane can be seen.
As for his purpose, it is not difficult to guess that it is undoubtedly to cure his wife's eyes.
Compared to Morning Star, the chances of healing her in the Magic Empire should be higher......
Mu Yan has been secretly observing Tessa since he sat down at the dining table, and out of politeness, he didn't use his perception to probe wantonly, but with his naked eye.
From the details observed, he could basically tell that this was some kind of organ necrosis caused by burns, and with Luokan's current level of magical medicine, it was basically impossible to cure any artifacts such as "Tranquil Lake Water Essence" and "Imotru Leaves", and these things could not be obtained at all with Gawain's ability. He could have used necromancy to recreate his organs, but that's a taboo topic. The two are not related, and Mu Yan will not do this for the sake of courtesy.
Tessa seemed to be suffocating at home, and finally met a stranger, who was still a friend of her husband, and immediately pulled Mu Yan to talk endlessly.
This girl who talks a lot has talked about Gao Wen's troubles during the adventure journey to the various things of the two people's married life, although they are all complaining and counting down their husbands, but Mu Yan is showing her affection no matter how she listens.
Compared with him, Gao Wen was very uncomfortable, on the one hand, he had to beware of Mu Yan saying something inappropriate, on the other hand, he had no financial resources for the time being, and he also had something on his mind, so he looked worried except for smirking.
Breakfast ended in such a strange atmosphere, the maid cleaned up the plates, Gao Wen wanted to send his wife back to the room to rest, but she grabbed his hand like a child and said coquettishly: "Let me talk to Mr. Mu Yan again, my dear, I haven't been awake for long, I can't always lie down, this is not good for the child, right, Teacher Mu Yan?" ”
Gawain glanced at Mu Yan, who shrugged helplessly.
"Blame me for being so popular."
He seemed to be saying.
Although Gawain was dissatisfied, he spoiled his wife after all.
"Okay, let's accompany Mr. Mu Yan to the study to sit down."
"Honey, you're the best!"
Tessa put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek, but Gawain blushed.
"Honey, you haven't been shaving lately."
"They're just growing too fast." Gawain smiled bitterly.
The three of them moved to the study, Mu Yan and Gao Wen chatted for a few words, and they also got to the point.
"By the way, I have come this time to fulfill my previous promise to Mr. Gawain. After all, with his help, I was able to continue to cling to this research even after being rejected by the horn of Kane, and I was able to achieve extraordinary results. Today I brought the finished product, I hope Miss Tessa will enjoy it. ”
He took out the headband and handed it to Gawain.
The latter looked at the familiar thing and didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Huh? What the hell is it, my dear? Tessa couldn't see it and asked hurriedly.
"That's it, it's ......"
"You'll know when you put it on, and Mr. Gawain wants to surprise you."
Mu Yan said, frequently hinting at Gao Wen with his eyes.
"What the hell is it, I'm curious!"
Gao Wen glanced at Mu Yan with complicated eyes, but he still gently put the headband on Tessa's head, and his movements were gentle, full of infinite affection.
Then he took his wife by the shoulders and let her lean into his arms.
"Relax, dear. Relaxing......"
Tessa quickly gets into the groove and the study quiets down.
Mu Yan took out another headband, signaled Gao Wen to put it on himself, and then walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Then, he sat on the sofa in the living room with his eyes slightly closed, and the perceptual lines all over the floor were linked to the magic circle outside, and the magic power from all directions suddenly converged, connecting the will and thoughts of the two of them.
This kind of work of "building a stage and then containing the souls of strangers" was previously left to AI. As an ultra-high-performance processor, not to mention two people, even two thousand people can easily complete it. However, it was only when Mu Yan personally operated it that he realized how difficult it was......
At this time, he could only be extremely glad that Mr. Gawain only had one wife, otherwise the difficulty would increase exponentially without one more......
About ten minutes later, Gawain walked out of the study.
The husband's eyes were red, and when he saw Mu Yan, he stepped forward and hugged him without saying anything.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu Yan. Anyway, thank you so much, thank you so much......"
Gawain's voice choked, and he was incoherent for a while.
Mu Yan patted his back like a child, and at the same time wiped the sweat from his forehead without a trace.
"Nothing, it should be, it should be ......"
