Chapter 225 After the War

In Guangdong, if someone goes to a restaurant and there are a lot of leftovers and they don’t pack them up, it basically means that the food at this restaurant is so bad that they need to call the police.

For Jiangyou, even if he can’t finish the delicious dishes, he must pack them up and take them away. What’s more, these are delicious soul fires, so there is no chance of them spoiling.

"Let me help," Mebucha smiled gently. "Although these soul-fire dishes appear to be very safe at the moment, it's best to store them in special containers to prevent them from being attracted to the phylactery in the future."

So Jiangyou got a bunch of soul fire dishes packed in a special magic crystal box, as well as a space magic bag made by the great magician himself.

It looks like an ordinary, small cloth bag that can be easily folded and stuffed into any carry-on luggage. However, it has a very spacious interior. The bag has a drawstring, so it can be pulled very small at ordinary times and expanded very large when needed. It can easily fit a living person.

"This bag can hold living creatures. Once inside, they can't enter or exit freely, relying on you to free them. Therefore, it can also be used to imprison enemies in times of crisis," said the Great Mage Mebucha. "But time doesn't stand still inside the bag. Remember to ventilate it and give it some food and water, otherwise you might end up with a lot of... corpses after a while."

"You are the only one who can enter and exit the bag freely, even if you can squeeze your whole body into it."

"I see!" Jiang You happily took the bag and started playing with it, stuffing himself in and out again. "Hey, this is much more useful than my skull!"

The independent space inside the bag has its own ceiling, floor, and air walls, and will not change even if the bag is squeezed, folded, or bumped. The area is comparable to that of a factory and can store a lot of things.

“When you take something out, just think about what you want, and the bag will automatically deliver it to you,” Mebucha said. “You don’t have to bother looking for it yourself.”

"Wow! That's really convenient!" Jiangyou happily stuffed all the takeout boxes into the bag, then tightened the drawstring and shook it, but the small bag was still deflated.

"The only problem is that it can no longer be placed in a container with space magic cast on it."

"Yeah! I know that. Spatial magic can't be superimposed on each other, otherwise it will cause a bug!" This time, Jiang You didn't put the small bag into the skull, but instead stuffed the small bag into her dress pocket. "This is super suitable for using when maintaining human form!"

Jiang You was very satisfied with the gift, but this was not the entire thank you. After returning to the palace, His Majesty the King summoned her again.

"This time, we were able to successfully eliminate Dresi, a remnant of the previous dynasty, with minimal casualties, but it was all thanks to your help," said His Majesty the King. "After arresting those traitorous nobles who joined the Evil Eye Moon, I also had a lot of free positions and territories.

"Do you wish to become a countess? The Earl of Canberra's former territory is a perfect fit in terms of both location and size," His Majesty the King snapped his fingers, and a servant immediately presented a map. "Of course, you can choose another territory as well. Take a look at the map and take your time choosing. There's no need to rush to answer me."

"Hey!" Jiang You happily took the map, "This is great!"

"Andrei has already led his troops to search for Dresi's phylactery and eliminate the remnants of Evil Eye Moon. You can rest assured and stay with us in the palace for the next few days.

"After we deal with these traitors, we'll go hunting here for a few days." His Majesty the King smiled, "The real kind of hunting.

"Andre will probably be back by then, and you can enjoy the royal hunting."

Jiang You settled down in the palace peacefully.

Every day she happily took a stroll in the woods, fed the small animals, ate soul fire when she was hungry, or swaggered into the kitchen to cook, watching the king's people busy in and out.

If the king asked her for help, she would gladly help, digging out a few soul fires from the prisoners and eating them. No matter how hard the prisoners tried to keep quiet, as long as Jiangyou read the soul fire, all the truth would be clear, and it could be directly recorded in the crystal.

——It’s really an overly convenient ability.

Five days later, Andre finally returned, exhausted, carrying a life box, leading a team of knights, and escorting a group of bruised and battered people.

He was wrapped in some bandages, but his eyes were bright. When he reported to the king, his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and found Deresi's life box.

"Ghost Face Number One has been killed, Valentine has been arrested, and the remaining Ghost Faces have surrendered."

He spoke in a resounding voice, emphasizing each word: "The Evil Eye Moon has been completely eradicated!"

"Wow, that's great! But," Takumi Yuu, who was listening in, glanced at the bandages on his body with concern and whispered, "Are your injuries serious?"

"It's not serious." Andre turned and whispered to her, "It's just some scratches from the wire. It will heal quickly."

His eyes were determined. "The most important thing is that I finally avenged my teacher, Count Saka de Modor."

A huge worry that had been bothering him for many years was finally healed. Andrei's steps became lighter and he felt refreshed all over.

——For a moment, Jiangyou felt as if he saw the candidates rushing out of the school gate impatiently after the last exam of the college entrance examination.

They stayed in the palace for another week, and after helping His Majesty the King to sort out the remaining trivial matters involving Evil Eye Moon and the nobles, they also spent a few days in the hunting grounds.

Andre hunted and Jiangyou handled the prey. The two of them cooperated well and had a sweet and enjoyable time.

Before leaving the palace, Jiangyou and Andre finally chose their rewards: Jiangyou accepted the confiscated territory of Countess Durand de Campella, while Andre, who had once again made great contributions, obtained the title and territory vacated by Earl of Rosewood.

These two territories are adjacent to each other. For young couples, they can develop together and support each other, while being independent from each other, leaving both parties with space for freedom. It is a very suitable choice.

Of course, Wilshire County, where Easton West City was located, still belonged to Andre. They could choose to settle down permanently in one place, or, like other nobles, own properties in the capital and various territories, spending a few days here and a few days there, enjoying a new scene every day.

So on the last day of the journey, His Majesty the King held a ceremony of awarding honors and enfeoffment for the two young lovers in the palace. As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar across the country.
