After waking up

With the ability to transform, Mulan will have a great degree of freedom of movement. Even if he is in Dilga, he often does not need to be constrained by his identity and can leave Digao at the appropriate time.

Of course, in addition to this long-term consideration, there are also shorter-term considerations, which is naturally what is happening in the secret realm of Siluas now.

"Dong dong dong~"

"Master Mulan, there is a letter sent from Digao."

Old Buck's voice sounded outside the room. Mulan opened the door and took out the letter. He looked at the stamp on the cover. This symbol should come from the Parliament of Nobles.

"Master Mulan, it's almost dinner time, remember it later."

"Okay Grandpa Buck, it should be fragrant broth tonight, right?"

Old Buck smiled and walked downstairs, while Mullan had torn the letter open after closing the door with his backhand.

"Black Castle Council? I've never heard of this name. It was probably established recently."

Mulan muttered to himself and continued reading, and saw the content of the letter. It was actually an employment letter, hiring Mulan to become a member of the council.

Judging from the specific content, Black Castle will become more diversified and open, and will also give the Noble Council a certain degree of regulatory power.

But in essence, Mullan believes that it is actually to make some of the secret activities that the nobles have started before public and transparent.

The nobles don't have to be sneaky in some aspects, and the psychological pressure is much reduced, and the queen also saves a lot of energy in investigation and surveillance.

Those who are really affected may be the staff and students in the service department. The former has been subdivided into more departments, and the payment of salaries is also subject to more assessments and is directly supervised by the board of directors.

The students will be bound by more rules, the degree of freedom will be significantly reduced, and they will become closer to a school. In addition, there will be some changes such as the recommendation mechanism and aristocratic etiquette and history learning.

What's interesting is that the Council is actually an agency under the Ministry of Magic.

These aristocrats and officials have been doing a lot of things. You can control me, and I can control you. Everyone knows that things should be formalized and transparent, and things that should be formalized and transparent have to be secretly involved. It's simple. If things are a little more complicated, go around a little more. If things are a little more complicated, make them a little simpler.

Mulan had a feeling that he couldn't laugh or cry. He was still a little naive. This kind of structure that can interfere with each other and have common interests in this chaos may be Dilga's aristocratic politics.

There is a proverb from the Dilga nobles: It feels so good to pull you back.

Perhaps this is what Nishelir said, to ease the tension of the nobles.

There was nothing to hesitate. Mulan wrote two letters directly, one was a polite and high-sounding response to the council, and the other was written to the queen to confirm the matter.

But both letters were sent to Nishelir, and as long as she nodded, the second letter was leaked to the council.

The recent events in Black Castle may be the end of a big event for many people, but for Mullan, it is a marginal and small matter. The results can be foreseen from the beginning, and the facts are not very different.

What really concerned Mulan was naturally Siluas.

After returning to Valentine to rest for two weeks, good news came to Mullan.

Although the super-large magic pattern array has not been completely established, due to the independence of multiple nodes, the magic array with a radius of ten kilometers in the center can be established by concentrating the advantages of all parties such as manpower and material resources, and relying on the World Tree As the central core, it greatly improves speed and stability.

The remaining ones may take longer, much longer than previously estimated, and the time span may be more than a year.

On this day, Mulan left home after explaining to Old Buck and Leo that he was going out for two days, and turned into a swift flying high into the sky in a hidden place.

After a period of sailing, a river ship also stopped at the river pier in Big Oak Town. In addition to a few Quinas people, there was also Dolly, who looked curious, on the deck. Of course, she was not the siren at the moment. look.

"I didn't expect that I would see such a beautiful lady as soon as I came to this rural town."

A voice on the dock attracted Doli's attention. She turned around and saw a tall and thin man. There were four tall followers standing beside him. Although she didn't recognize him, she gave Dori a look. A strange sense of familiarity.

"My name is Gore. Nice to meet you."

Mulan lowered his head slightly and took off his hat to salute. Doli frowned and returned the salute. On this appointed day, waiting here to make a few jokes was one of Mulan's bad tastes.

"Dorothy."

Doli said her name casually, and then suddenly noticed something. She turned her head and looked behind her. At this moment, all the Quinas people were bowing slightly and performing a heart-grabbing salute.

"Lord Sage."

Sage?

Doli stared at Mulan, who was in the body of the Shadow Demon, with wide eyes. She knew that the Sage of Dawn was actually Mulan, but this man didn't look like Mulan at all, but the familiarity seemed to make sense.

"Your reaction was much calmer than I expected. It's boring. Well, this is another me, with an independent body, the same will, similar but not exactly the same thinking and personality."

A swift that had been hovering in the sky flew from high altitude and landed on the ground next to Shadow Demon.

"Chirp~"

After the clear cry, Yu Yan quickly turned into another Mulan. He put his arm on Shadow Demon's shoulder and waved to Doli with his other hand.

"Hey Dolly, another me."

The two Mulans stood together. Without deliberately pretending, the harmonious atmosphere became extremely obvious. Even if the appearance of Golmos was placed here, even if the clothes were different, they actually gave people a sense of harmony. The weird feeling of "twins".

The Quinas people hurriedly bowed and saluted again, while Duo Li opened her mouth slightly, and her eyes kept going back and forth between the two Mulans. Her brain was in a state of shutdown, and her eyes were obviously dazed.

"Lord Sage?"

Solomon said this blankly, and Mulan turned to look at the Four Knights.

"Although we get along day and night, it's obvious that you don't understand this about me yet."

At this moment, the two Mulans spoke in unison.

"However, it doesn't matter. You don't have to be surprised. You can think that both of them are me, or you can think that we are independent."

The two Mulan voices were synchronized, and then they pointed to the big oak tree not far away.

"Then let us enter Siluas together."

As Mulan's words fell, everyone at the dock, including the boat, entered the secret realm. The grandeur and shock of the World Tree secret realm were revealed to the eyes of Doli and the four Silent Knights for the first time.

Needless to say, every Dawn warrior who sees the secret realm and the World Tree for the first time will be deeply shocked, and a feeling of emotion will arise from deep in his heart, and the mark of Dawn will also become at this moment piping hot.

Of course, Ciel and Farrow Lynch, who later discovered that everyone was also in a sluggish state due to the appearance of the two Mulan, had already heard Mulan talk about this matter.

On the contrary, the reaction of the Quinas people was much calmer. They should salute and worship when they should, but they are all sages anyway. As the god of salvation who comes in the state of soul, any magical things happening to the apostles are normal.

Whether it was the first sight of the secret realm and the World Tree, or the appearance of the two Mulan, although the shock was strong, everyone's mood would eventually calm down.

The first phase of the super-large magic array is about to be completed at this moment. As a group of Quinas people complete their work at the last node in the distance, a closed loop is established within the circular magic array within ten kilometers.

Finally, at the last sacred moment, more than a thousand people involved in the work gathered under the World Tree, and even the elves appeared outside.

Mulan stood close to the tree trunk in the middle, with the center of the magic pattern array behind him and extending in all directions.

At this moment, the magic array still looks very obvious. You can see the special materials, you can also see the connections of the totem poles, and you can also see the traces of various excavations.

With a slight excitement and a sense of nervousness, Mulan gently pressed his hand on the branches of the World Tree.

At this moment, the leaves of the World Tree gradually turned from green to golden yellow, and then seemed to completely turn into flames. The entire World Tree was like a huge torch, bringing endless warmth and light.

Subsequently, the golden stream of light continued downwards along the trunk of the World Tree, blending into the core of the magic pattern array, and then continued to extend along the array path, and the magic pattern array gradually became brighter from the inside out at this moment.

People were looking forward to it nervously, not daring to take a breath, and some even simply held their breath for fear that their breathing would lead to failure.

One kilometer, two kilometers, five kilometers, ten kilometers, the entire first-stage magic pattern array was completely lit up.

Swish——

A fierce ray of light shot into the sky from the magic array.

boom--

Strong flames ignited from the World Tree, directly turning the light shooting into the sky into a huge beam of fire. The light replaced the sun and rendered the sky. The entire secret realm seemed to be burning from the ground to all directions.

Mulan was excited but very calm, and both bodies simultaneously burst into high-pitched and emotional voices.

"The existence in the name of life and death, the noble elf who follows the ancient oath, the crow queen who protects humanity and civilization, and the warriors of the dawn. In the name of the sage of the dawn, I allow you to come to Siluas——"

The two Mulans raised their voices to the limit, bursting out spells in an almost roaring voice.

The flames became more intense, and a lot of red and black smoke began to appear in the firelight. Then, from the smoke, crows came out one after another, becoming more and more dense.

At this moment, even the crows trained by the Quinas people flew into the sky one after another, mixing and circling with countless crows.

"Ah~ah~" "Ah~ah~ah~ah~"

"Ah~"

The cries of crows echoed through the secret realm, and the crows seemed like a rotating vortex, getting faster and closer to the ground.

"Woo."

Among the flames and smoke, the noisy and exciting crows, and the raging winds, the fire of dawn in the entire secret realm burned more and more intensely.

Come, come!

This is what Mulan is thinking about at this moment, and what all Quinas people are thinking about.

The black crows rotating in front of the World Tree began to burn, but the flames and black smoke continued to shrink.

Finally, a hand with a black silk sheath stretched out the firelight, and then dark smoke interspersed with golden streamers began to spread, which was the long hair of the Crow Queen.

The next moment, the rapidly rotating smoke and fire disappeared like foam, and the smoke dissipated, revealing the body of the Crow Queen.

It was a tall woman looking at herself with her hands raised. It was a person who slowly raised her head and looked around and then at the sky.

All sounds disappeared, the crows stopped crowing, and no one around made a sound.

The Crow Queen's body trembled slightly. Although she was not her true body, and she was far from escaping from the other world, this unprecedented sense of reality, the touch of her soles, and the fragrance of the air made even her unable to restrain herself. emotion.

Mulan stood under the World Tree. He had not been in the lonely and hopeless inner world for too long, but he could imagine the mood of the Crow Queen at this moment.

Even the noble and sacred patron saint of Quinas, even the mysterious ancient elves, sometimes need to vent their emotions.

The Crow Queen's body slowly turned towards the direction of the World Tree while trembling slightly. In a pair of pale golden eyes, tears burst out of her eyes like a stream across her cheeks, and fell to the ground drop by drop. The moment they touched the ground, they turned into pearls. of gems.

"Thank you, Lord Sage, thank you."
