Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 56 Emotion and Reason

After briefly discussing some follow-up matters, Aaron and Rex, the father and son, left, and Uncle Lane disappeared at some point.

Now, only Su Lian and Nalin were left.

"Thanks this time," Su Lian suddenly said.

"I didn't expect you to have arranged for Uncle Lane to come. If I had known, I wouldn't have helped you put pressure on them. Now, Student Rex even mistakenly thought that I was one of your subordinates secretly protecting you," Nalin said with a bit of regret.

The reason she had taken the initiative to use blood magic and change the color of her pupils just now was to tell Aaron on purpose that she was a blood clan vampire.

After all, Su Lian was still only a 12-year-old child. When it came to business cooperation, there was always a sense of weakness. Even if Aaron was eager to curry favor with the prince's power, he would definitely look down on Su Lian, which might lead to some subsequent minor situations.

By putting pressure on Aaron in this way, he naturally didn't dare to underestimate them. Unfortunately, it couldn't be said to be redundant, but it could only be regarded as an additional pressure that added to the perfection.

Isn't it natural for a teacher to protect a student?" Su Lian smiled.

"Then why don't you call me teacher quickly? I haven't heard it yet," Nalin suddenly remembered.

"Yes, Beautiful Teacher Nalin. Is this title okay?" Su Lian said.

"Not bad. It would be better if there were more gorgeous prefixes," Nalin said, waving her little hand in a circle.

"If you like to add prefixes like'super invincible cute to the extreme', I don't care. Anyway, it won't be me who's embarrassed," Su Lian shrugged.

"Why don't we try it in private?" Nalin seemed rather interested.

"As you like," Su Lian said.

"Hehe," Nalin laughed.

It had to be said that sometimes Nalin was really a bit childish, which was in line with her current appearance.

...

But soon, Nalin's smile faded a bit.

Su Lian naturally noticed it.

"What? Do you want to hear it now?" Su Lian asked.

Nalin shook her head slightly, and Su Lian was a bit puzzled.

"Today, thank you too for accompanying me on a self-willed shopping spree for so long. You didn't even buy the things you wanted," Nalin said in an unexpectedly gentle tone.

"Wow, so you can actually thank others? I thought you were just a pure schemer who liked to watch others make a fool of themselves," Su Lian was also a bit surprised.

Do I look like that kind of person?" Nalin retorted.

"No, you are that kind of person," Su Lian said.

"Hmph!" Nalin looked proud, as if she was proud of it.

"But it was actually me who invited you to go shopping, wasn't it? So there's no need to thank me. If you were happy, you can just invite me to buy some magic-related materials next time," Su Lian smiled.

"Hoho, you're already looking forward to our next 'date'? How bold of you," Nalin said again.

"I do have a bit of that thought. It would be even better if you treat me next time," Su Lian hinted.

He had paid for everything today.

"Cut, you stingy guy," Nalin said.

"Then I hope the beautiful Teacher Nalin can teach me how to be more generous at that time," Su Lian said.

"But I don't know how to be generous either," Nalin said, batting her eyes.

"Playing cute and pretending to be stupid is a shameful behavior. I despise it," Su Lian said.

"But it's very effective!" Nalin said confidently.

Su Lian and Nalin looked at each other again, and then they both laughed.

...

Growing up in a noble family, she was despised and excluded. Her mother was also a woman who was infatuated with someone unrequitedly.

As she grew up a bit, she faced the suspicion of her so-called relatives.

Later, her blood magic confused the perception of the people in her family, and her entire existence was like being transparent. Obviously, her ten-year study of potions and alchemy wasn't just out of interest.

Perhaps...

That was just the only thing she could do to pass the time and soothe her heart in such a family.

Su Lian could imagine that kind of life.

Because in his previous life, he had a similar experience, living in a so-called family. Studying the mechanics he liked and tinkering with those things that might be dangerous were just his ways of adjusting to that kind of life.

In this life, he had a wonderful family environment, but she had nothing.

Just like her on this weekend, in a strange country, he was obviously the only person she knew well and could get along with.

Accompanying her to go shopping and satisfying some of her small whims.

Perhaps it was just a small way for him to satisfy his past self through her.

...

"Nalin," Su Lian suddenly called out.

"What is it?" Nalin asked.

"If you have nothing to do on weekends in the future, would you like to go back and accompany Sylvie for me?" Su Lian asked.

"Hmph? You said you had no intentions towards me? You actually want to use your sister to tempt me to go to your house often?" Nalin pretended to be disgusted.

"If you don't want to go, it's okay," Su Lian said.

"For the sake of your cute sister, I'll reluctantly satisfy your naughty intention," Nalin said.

"You have to pay for the ticket yourself," Su Lian said.

"Ah? Don't you have that annual pass card?"

"I can't help it. No one has taught me how to be generous. How could I lend it to others?"

"..."

...

After that, Su Lian had arrangements for self-study, and Nalin didn't bother him anymore and went back to school. She also borrowed someone's annual pass card for the magic-powered vehicle. As for when she would return it, it was probably not worth considering.

However, this self-study session was obviously not very smooth because he didn't buy the relevant materials in the morning to conduct some of the expected experiments.

It was Uncle Lane who brought them back later.

Therefore, the place for his self-study was changed from the academy dormitory to Uncle Lane's residence in Dekang City.

It was an ordinary three-story small building, plus two special basements.

"Is there anything else, Uncle Lane?"

While purifying and shaping a piece of metal, Su Lian also tried to assemble it himself according to the pistol blueprint he had drawn. When he was abroad in his previous life, he had also obtained and disassembled this kind of weapon through special channels.

"Commander Tuttle took advantage of his vacation this morning to go on a spring outing in Peter Holy City and went back happily," Uncle Lane said.

Su Lian's hand paused for a moment and then quickly resumed.

"It seems that the negotiation went well. It wasn't in vain that I made a special trip there at that time," Su Lian said.

"You really deserve a lot of credit, Little Su Lian. According to Lord Esha, Tuttle praised you a lot," Uncle Lane said.

"But he alone is not enough. We need more people in the military department who are willing to cooperate. Otherwise, once we take action externally, if there aren't enough peacemakers to mediate, it will be a big trouble. It's a pity that I can't help much in this regard," Su Lian said with some reg

ret.

"You've already done a great job," Uncle Lane said.

"Okay. Is there anything else? How about the follow-up progress of the reform?" Su Lian asked.

"Everything is going smoothly on that front. The support within the territory is unprecedentedly high. The farmers and nobles are also very active in cooperating with the funds needed for the initial launch. At the same time, the kingdom just needs a hot topic to suppress the matter of the capabilit

ies shown by the magic-powered vehicles during the magic disaster. The national publicity has been unexpectedly good," Uncle Lane briefly described.

"Then it's the question about Nalin?" Su Lian guessed.

"Yes, Little Su Lian, you do care too much about her," Uncle Lane didn't beat around the bush.

"Her appearance and other values are things that I care about a lot in the future. Are these reasons enough?" Su Lian described straightforwardly.

"Enough, but we still know too little about her. It's still a bit inappropriate to let her go to our home freely without proper consideration," Uncle Lane said.

"Can she detect you when you're secretly observing?" Su Lian retorted.

"No," Uncle Lane said confidently.

"Then isn't this a good opportunity to secretly observe her trustworthiness?" Su Lian smiled.

"I understand," Uncle Lane said.

"When she goes back, I'll stay in the academy to study. I can even ask Teacher Mavis to protect me. There's no need to worry about safety. Uncle Lane, you just need to go back and secretly protect Sylvie."

"Coincidentally, next year you'll be protecting her instead of me. After secretly determining whether Nalin is a threat or not, I'll feel more at ease with her accompanying me to the Affa Empire."

"I may act emotionally, but I will never lose my rational judgment so easily," Su Lian had very clear arrangements and also made his position clear to Uncle Lane in his last words.

"I was negligent. Indeed, after you've won over Miss Mavis, she is someone who can protect you very well," Uncle Lane said.

Such a powerful and beautiful teacher, Su Lian naturally wouldn't forget her and miss the opportunity to make use of her abilities.

"Okay."

With a click, Su Lian finally assembled the pistol in his hand.

He took out a bullet that had been prepared in advance, which was filled with alchemical magic powder. He loaded the bullet, cast a wind-based sound-insulating magic at the same time, and aimed at the metal plate on the wall.

He pulled the trigger, and there was a bang!

The bullet accurately hit the metal plate and embedded itself in it in a twisted state.

"The power is okay. I'll give this and the blueprint to Uncle Kam and the others when I go back. After optimization, we can prepare for mass production and equip it for the private army of the territory," Su Lian loaded the magazine fully and directly handed the pistol and the blueprint to Uncle Lan

e.

"Except for heavily armed soldiers, I'm afraid no other soldiers can deal with this mechanical weapon at close range. Little Su Lian, your inventions are always so amazing," Uncle Lane couldn't help but praise, and he also took the pistol and the blueprint.

As a War King-level powerhouse, Uncle Lane could naturally infer the actual power and the degree of weakening at a long distance through the bullet's firing speed and its current performance.

"Just aim for the heads of the heavily armed soldiers. Is their helmet as thick as this metal plate? Even if the bullet can't penetrate it, the shock can make their heads ache," Su Lian knew very well about the power.

"That's true," Uncle Lane said.

Su Lian simply tidied up the table where he made the pistol and confirmed that there was nothing left behind.

"Is there anything else?" Su Lian asked again.

"Not for now," Uncle Lane said.

"Then I'll go back to school. Contact me if there's anything," Su Lian said.

"Okay," Uncle Lane said.

...

Su Lian left, and naturally, Uncle Lane secretly followed him until he entered the academy gate.

Now, both the business matters and the current research and development of new weapons had come to a temporary end. He also had to start seriously devoting himself to studying again and maintaining relationships with the talents in the academy.

As for the management of the territory, it was still best to leave it to Esha and the others for now.

Conquering the world and such things.

There was no rush.
