Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Emotion and Reason
After briefly discussing some follow-up matters, Aaron and Rex, father and son, left, and no one knew when Uncle Ryan disappeared.
Now, only Su Lian and Na Lin are left.
Thank you this time. Su Lian said suddenly.
I didn't expect you to arrange for Uncle Ryan to come over. If I had known, I wouldn't have helped you put pressure on him. I also had to let Rex mistakenly think that I was your subordinate who was secretly protecting you. Nalin felt a little regretful.
The reason why she took the initiative to cast blood magic and change the color of her pupils was to tell Aaron that she was a blood vampire.
After all, Su Lian is still only a 12-year-old child, and he will always feel a little weak when it comes to business cooperation. Even if Aaron wants to curry favor with the prince's power, he will definitely look down on Su Lian, which will lead to some minor problems later.
Aaron naturally did not dare to underestimate Nalin's pressure. Unfortunately, it could not be said to be redundant, but it could only be regarded as icing on the cake.
Isn't it the teacher's duty to protect students? Su Lian said with a smile.
Why don't you call the teacher to come and listen? I haven't even heard it yet. Nalin also remembered it quickly.
Yes, beautiful teacher Nalin, is this title okay? Su Lian.
Not bad. It would be better if there were more gorgeous prefixes. Nalin said as she waved her hand lightly.
If you like to add a prefix like 'super invincible and cute', I don't mind. Anyway, I'm not the one who is embarrassed. Su Lian shrugged.
How about trying it in private? Nalin seemed a little interested.
It's up to you. Su Lian.
Hehe. Nalin.
I have to admit that sometimes Nalin is indeed a little childish, which is consistent with her current appearance.
But soon, Nalin's smile softened a little.
Su Lian naturally noticed it.
What? You want to listen now? Su Lian.
Nalin shook her head slightly, and Su Lian was slightly confused.
Thank you for accompanying me shopping for so long today and not buying anything for yourself. Nalin's tone was unexpectedly gentle.
Wow, so you are also a guy who knows how to thank others? I thought you were a pure black-hearted person who just likes to watch others have fun. Su Lian was also a little surprised.
Am I that kind of person? Nalin asked back.
No, it's you. Su Lian.
Hmph! Nalin looked proud and took it personally.
But it was actually me who invited you to go shopping, wasn't it? So there's no need to thank me. If you feel happy, just invite me to buy some magic-related materials next time. Su Lian smiled.
Haha, you're actually starting to think about my next date? That's very bold. Nalin started again.
I do want to, it would be best if you treated me. Su Lian hinted.
Today, he was the one who spent all the money.
Tsk, you stingy guy. Nalin.
Then please ask the beautiful teacher Nalin to teach me how to be more generous when the time comes. Su Lian.
But I don't know how to do it either. Nalin said with blinking eyes.
Acting cute and pretending to be stupid is shameful. I despise it. Su Lian.
But it's useful! Nalin said confidently!
Su Lian and Na Lin looked at each other again and then started laughing.
He grew up in a noble family with contempt and exclusion, and his mother was an infatuated and unrequited lover.
When you grow up a little, you will face the suspicion of your so-called relatives.
The blood magic that followed blurred the cognition of the people at home, and the entire existence seemed transparent. It was obvious that the ten years of studying potions and alchemy were not due to interest.
perhapsThat was just the only way for her to pass the time and calm her mind in that kind of family.
Su Lian could imagine that kind of life.
Because he had a similar experience in the past, living in a so-called family. Learning the machinery he liked and tinkering with things that might be dangerous were just a change of pace for him.
In this life, he has a wonderful family environment, but she has nothing.
Just like now, on the weekend, she was in a strange country, and he was obviously the only person she knew and could get along with.
Accompany her shopping and satisfy her little whims.
Maybe, I just use her to get a little satisfaction from my past self.
Nalin. Su Lian suddenly shouted.
What? Nalin asked.
If you have nothing to do on weekends in the future, would you like to go back and accompany Sylvia for me? Su Lian asked.
Huh? You said you had no intentions towards me? You actually wanted to use your sister to induce me to go to your house more often? Nalin pretended to be disgusted.
If you don't want to go, forget it. Su Lian.
For the sake of your lovely sister, I will just reluctantly satisfy your evil intentions. Nalin.
You have to pay for your own train tickets. Su Lian.
Ah? Don't you have that annual pass?
I can't help it. No one taught me how to be generous. How can I lend it to others?
After that, Su Lian had some self-study arrangements, so Nalin went back to school without disturbing him any further and borrowed someone's Magic Train annual pass. As for when to return it, she probably didn't need to think about it anymore.
However, this self-study session was obviously not very smooth, because I did not buy the relevant materials in the morning to carry out some of the planned experiments.
It was later that Uncle Ryan helped bring it back.
Therefore, the place where he studied was changed from the college dormitory to Uncle Ryan's residence in Dekang City.
An ordinary three-story building with two special basements.
Anything else, Uncle Ryan?
While Su Lian was purifying and shaping a piece of metal, he was trying to assemble the pistol himself according to the blueprint he had drawn. He had once been abroad and had obtained and disassembled this type of weapon through special channels.
Captain Tuttle took advantage of his day off this morning to go on an outing to St. Peter's Spring, and he returned very happy. Uncle Ryan.
Su Lian paused for a moment, then quickly resumed his movements.
It looks like the conversation went well, and it was worth my special trip. Su Lian.
It is true that you, little Su Lian, have made a great contribution. According to Lord Ersha, Tattle praised you a lot. Uncle Ryan.
But he alone is not enough. The military needs more people who can cooperate. Otherwise, once we take action against external forces, it will be a big problem if there are not enough peacemakers to disrupt the situation. It's a pity that I can't be of much help in this regard. Su Lian also felt a little regretful.
It's pretty good. Uncle Ryan.
Well, is there anything else? Any follow-up progress on the reform? Su Lian asked.
Everything is going smoothly in that regard. The demand in the territory is unprecedentedly high, and the farmers and nobles are also very actively cooperating in providing the funds needed for the initial start-up. At the same time, the kingdom needs a hot topic to overshadow the ability of the magic car displayed during the magic disaster, and the national publicity is also unexpectedly good. Uncle Ryan gave a brief description.
That's the question you want to ask Nalin? Su Lian guessed.
Yes, little Su Lian, you do care too much about her. Uncle Ryan didn't beat around the bush.
Her appearance and other values will be of great concern to me in the future. Are these reasons enough? Su Lian described bluntly.
Enough, but we still don't know much about her, so it's not appropriate to let her go home freely. Uncle Ryan.
Can she detect you in the dark? Su Lian asked back.
No. Uncle Ryan was very confident.
Isn't that a chance to secretly observe her credibility? Su Lian said with a smile.
Got it. Uncle Ryan.
When she goes back, I will stay in the academy to study. I can even ask Teacher Mavis to protect me. There is no need to worry about my safety. Uncle Ryan, you can just go back with her and protect Sylvia secretly.
It just so happens that you will be protecting her next year instead of me. After secretly finding out whether Nalin is a threat, I will feel more at ease about her accompanying me to the Afa Empire.
I may be emotional, but I will never lose my rational judgment so easily.
Su Lian had very clear arrangements, and his final words were also a straightforward statement to Uncle Ryan.
I was negligent. It is true that after you, Su Lian, have won over Miss Mavis, she is the person who can protect you very well. Uncle Ryan.
Su Lian would naturally not forget such a powerful and beautiful teacher and would not miss the opportunity to use her.
Um.
Su Lian finally assembled the pistol in his hand with a click.
He took out a bullet loaded with alchemical powder that he had prepared long ago, loaded it and released wind-based sound-proofing magic while aiming it at the metal plate on the wall.
Pull the trigger, and bang!
The bullet hit the metal plate accurately and embedded itself in it in a twisted state.
It's quite powerful. I'll give this and the blueprint to Uncle Cam and his men when I return. After optimizing it, I'll prepare to mass-produce it for the private army in the territory.
Su Lian loaded the magazine and handed the pistol and blueprints directly to Uncle Ryan.
Except for heavily-armored soldiers, I'm afraid no soldiers can handle this mechanical weapon at close range. Little Su Lian, your inventions are always so amazing. Uncle Ryan couldn't help but praise, and at the same time took the pistol and blueprint.
As a War King-level warrior, Uncle Ryan can naturally infer the actual power and degree of long-distance weakening by the bullet's firing speed and current performance.
Just hit the head with heavy armor. Can a helmet be as thick as this metal plate? Even if it can't penetrate, the shock will at least make your head hurt. Su Lian was very clear about the power.
That's right. Uncle Ryan.
Su Lian simply cleaned up the table where he made the pistol and made sure nothing was left out.
Is there anything else? Su Lian asked again.
Not for now. Uncle Ryan.
Then I'll go back to school. Contact me if you have anything. Su Lian.
Yeah. Uncle Ryan.
Su Lian left, and Uncle Ryan naturally followed him into the college gate in secret.
Now, both the business and the research and development of new weapons have come to a temporary halt. He also has to start to seriously continue his studies and maintain relationships with the talents in the academy.
As for the management of the territory, it is best to leave it to Ersha and the others for now.
Conquer the world or something.
But there is no rush.
