After waking up

The matter was quite involved and the situation was quite serious. The queen had given the order and the people below did not dare to delay. The royal family's special guards personally acted as messengers and advanced in the capital regardless of the terrain, and soon arrived at the Black Castle.

In the first hall, Mulan was teaching students. Facing the more than two hundred students who had passed the exam before, he began to teach them how to draw out the power in their hearts.

This course is Mulan's own unique development course, and it draws on many things. Although Mulan always says it is just a summary, in theory it is almost different from some existing magic book systems.

Nowadays, every class in Mulan's class is not only packed with students, but there must also be a group of service staff recording the entire class in the back. They are ordered to refine some of the content and then bind it into a book.

"Material power and spiritual power interact with each other. Overcoming the shackles of the physical body is reflected in the material level with a higher priority. Overcoming the transcendent is reflected in the spiritual level with a higher priority. The two complement each other."

Halfway through the story, Mulan suddenly stopped and looked at the door. There stood a man in a black uniform, with bangs covering half of his face, and the remaining half of his face was extremely pale, as if he had applied many layers of powder. .

Mulan's heart moved. The people outside were obviously not ordinary people. They were probably real extraordinary beings. Could they be the royal guards?

"What's up?"

"Lord Jonest, here is the Queen's order to please come out."

Knowing that something big must be going on, Mulan nodded and looked at the students.

"I go out for a while."

After speaking, Mulan walked out. The guard members whispered in Mulan's ear and then left immediately, while Mulan narrowed his eyes.

Mulan silently mourned for the poor guy for a second, then returned to the classroom.

"That's it for today's class. I'll make up for it next time. Don't interrupt the meditation exercise. get out of class is over."

After saying this, Mulan hurriedly left without waiting for the students' reactions.

In the first hall, the students were stunned for a moment, and then they all spoke out.

"Ah?" "No!"

"Why is this so?"

“It’s just the critical moment.”

Then the students became very interested in this matter. After all, they just faintly heard the words of the Queen's order.

No one left the classroom immediately, and small circles were discussing among themselves.

"Hey, what did you say happened?"

"I heard the words of the Queen's command."

The boys tended to analyze the incident more, but the discussion among the girls quickly took a turn.

"Did something happen to Her Majesty the Queen? After all, the professor is Her Majesty's guardian knight."

"Ah, I would have forgotten about it if you didn't tell me!" "I heard that Her Majesty the Queen is still having an affair with the professor!"

The topic between the girls soon became a little ambiguous, and Hathaway looked at Marin who was speaking.

"Senior sister, you can't say this nonsense! You can't arrange it for Your Majesty!"

Ma Lin stuck out her tongue, and an unfamiliar female voice whispered on the other side.

"It would be great if the professor were my guardian knight."

"Stop being such a nympho."

Mulan did not dare to waste time. After leaving the classroom, he immediately found Sabastina, who was nominally on duty, and explained the situation.

This was Mulan's first time to Sabastina's tree house. He knew that the Queen was just very unhappy with the strength of the Holy Temple, but she was not asking him to fight against the Holy Temple, so there was no need to overwhelm the Holy Temple in terms of power.

Mulan didn't even think about Sabastina acting together. He came here just to borrow something, the gargoyle token that every watcher would have.

"Okay, I'll lend you the gargoyle token, but things seem a bit complicated this time. I'll go with you."

Sabastina's slightly hoarse voice said something that surprised Mulan. This was a bit unplanned. Aren't the extraordinary beings in the Black Castle all lazy?

Then Mulan quickly adjusted his expression.

"Of course that's the best, then let's set off immediately."

"Here you go, can you use it?"

Sabastina threw a black metal sculpture to Mulan. Mulan grabbed it and looked at it. It was actually a small square token with a gargoyle engraved on it.

"I have already studied how to use it."

After speaking, Mulan raised the token. In every corner of the black castle, a dim light appeared in the eyes of the statues, and all the gargoyles began to wake up.

After a moment, a large number of shadows flew into the air from the black castle, like a large group of bats, but in fact they were a group of gargoyles much larger than bats.

Mulan and the red-robed witch were on two of the larger gargoyles, flying together with a large group of gargoyles.

Sabastina sat on the gargoyle's back, while Mulan held onto one of the gargoyle's claws and hung it in the air. This view was far better than on the back.

Night has fallen, and the gargoyles in the sky are like a large group of bats, gradually spreading in all directions of Digao City.

"Hey, hey, Professor Jonst, it's unwise for you to let the gargoyles spread like this."

Sabastina's hoarse voice came, and Mulan looked back from below to look at the other party.

"Why?"

"Except for Walton, no one can completely control the gargoyles. It's fine if they gather around the token, but if they spread, they might prey on civilians."

What Mulan wanted to say in his heart was that this situation would not happen tonight, but when it came to his mouth, he said lightly.

"The Queen's orders are the highest priority, and I will not be timid."

Sabastina was slightly surprised, then relieved. Professor Jonst was indeed usually very kind to the students, but just because it was better to do so, and it did not apply to all situations.

Under normal circumstances, the gargoyles make no sound, only the sound of flapping wings and a pair of strange eyes staring at all sides of Digao City, and they continue to spread to the surrounding area.

In the civilian area of ​​the outer city northeast of Digao City, a big hairy mouse appeared from the shadows, kept walking along the street corners and other places, entered through the hole in the bakery, and then grabbed a piece of bread from the shelf and jumped On a low stool on one side.

The moment the big rat landed on the low stool, its body turned black and began to spread, and soon it transformed into an embarrassed man wearing a torn black uniform.

"Ho, ho, ho"

The man was covered in sweat and panting. It was the escaped shadow demon. He couldn't hold on any longer and appeared from the shadow transformation state.

To change into escape, you need the same level of resonance, physical movement, mental fluctuations, and even breathing to be consistent with that of a mouse.

Dragging the body of an extraordinary person with the weak energy movement and breathing of a mouse is not much different from walking underwater while holding your breath.

But at least he saved his life. After all, in a big city like Digao, especially in dirty places, the most indispensable thing is rats.

Shadow Demon, who was constantly panting to relieve his physical exhaustion, began to gnaw bread crazily. He was too tired and too hungry. He almost consumed most of his strength in order to escape. Although he was not fatally injured, his current state was really terrible.

‘Damn it, I obviously didn’t do it! And Her Majesty the Queen, why don’t you believe me! ’

Shadow Demon was so angry that he gnawed the bread even more crazily, and at the same time reached out to grab the shelves.

"Who, who's there?"

A fat man holding a kerosene lamp walked in the corridor behind the store, holding a bread-slicing saw blade in his hand.

When he walked to the store facing the street, he looked around with the oil lamp and found the man behind the shelf. His face was pale and he was dripping with sweat. He was still holding bread in his hand. He looked very scary.

"You? You thief."

Shadow Demon just looked at the opponent, then stretched out his hand to grab it. A black shadow had extended from his hand, and directly caught the opponent's shadow under the light of the kerosene lamp.

"ah"

The man's frightened screams suddenly stopped, and he was dragged over together with his body and shadow, and merged into the shadow under the shadow demon's feet.

Although doing this will swallow up a lot of people's negativity, it can also quickly replenish the consumption. Shadow Demon has no guilt about this.

‘If you want to blame, blame the temple of your faith. ’

At the other end of the street, the Archbishop was standing in the second-floor corridor of a house. He even knew what Shadow Demon had done, but he just frowned and stretched out his hand, but restrained himself from putting his hand down.

The special royal guards are indeed extremely loyal, but they are not without exception. In the eyes of the archbishop, this shadow demon is one of them. Even the queen is kept in the dark. If things are as bad as expected, the shadow demon and the heretic Taylor, Not the real owner behind it.

The archbishop thought so and looked up at the sky. There were bat-like things flying around high in the sky, and there were many more hovering in some areas in the distance.

‘If you are self-aware, you should know that you cannot escape from Digao, so you will definitely find a way to find your accomplices, right? Or the real owner? ’
