After waking up

"No, it's impossible. It was attacking me just now! It's not my demon, it's just that someone stole my magic!"

As the Shadow Demon spoke, he kept slapping the black cat, and then looked around. Both the archbishop and the red-robed witch were just looking at him, while Mulan was already showing his murderous intent.

"No, I'm not teasing you. What I said is true. It's pretending, it's pretending!"

Shadow Demon pointed at the black cat, then grabbed its head with one hand and choked its neck with the other, and both hands exploded with power.

"Lalalal"

The black cat's head was missing. This made Shadow Demon stunned, and his mind went blank. Then the black cat's body turned into a black smoke and gathered at Shadow Demon's feet.

Shadow Demon stared blankly, his heart full of horror, and he found that he could really control this magic power again. With just a thought, the black smoke merged into his shadow.

"Hmm."

Mulan sneered, and Shadow Demon raised his somewhat stiff neck, with an expression on his face that was uglier than crying.

Even Shadow Demon himself began to wonder whether he had some mental problems, whether it was because he devoured the bakery owner, or whether he had already had problems on his path to transcendence.

Mulan discovered that the will of this extraordinary person known as the Shadow Demon was even more fragile than he imagined. His mental state was already unstable, and he had not made the most appropriate response for more than a minute.

Looks like I have to "help" this idiot.

As Mulan expected, Shadow Demon's spirit was indeed unstable and he was suffering from strong self-doubt.

‘Is it really me who attacked the church? ’

Such ridiculous thoughts emerged from Shadow Demon's mind, and then a cold feeling pulled him back from confusion to the terrifying reality.

The tip of a sword was already pressed against Shadow Demon's chin and pressed against his neck. It was Mulan who had already pulled out his fangs.

The sharp coldness gave Shadow Demon a feeling of death. At this moment, the fear and negativity in Shadow Demon's heart seemed to be amplified all of a sudden.

"Mulan, please exercise restraint. He is a criminal in the temple and needs to be sent to the tribunal."

The Archbishop has taken a step closer. Although he has not taken action, his attention is always on Mulan and Shadow Demon. Mulan believes that as long as he has any sign of wanting to kill Shadow Demon directly, he will be stopped by the Archbishop.

Mulan frowned slightly and glanced at the red-robed witch. Sabastina took a step forward and was on the other side of the archbishop.

Then Mulan turned his attention to the archbishop.

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, please forgive me for being rude, but I am a knight loyal to the Queen and was ordered to capture the rebels. Please don't think of me as Ivan. Although I believe in the Holy Light, I do not obey the orders of the Holy Church!"

Alvin? Alvin!

Shadow Demon seemed to suddenly wake up from his dream. Yes, it was definitely not his mental hallucination. He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and shouted out loudly, but because he was too excited, he only shouted his name.

"Alvin, Alvin——"

Mulan had always maintained his demeanor even if he showed murderous intent before, but at this moment, he became furious almost instantly, turned around and grabbed Shadow Demon's neck.

"You lunatic, don't blaspheme my friend's name!"

As he spoke, the other hand holding the sword turned the sword behind him, punched the sword hilt, and hit Shadow Demon hard in the abdomen.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", and Shadow Demon suddenly bowed into a prawn with a face like pig liver.

The punch of a strong man on the knight's road who was far beyond ordinary in terms of physical strength and personal killing skills almost killed half of Shadow Demon's life in his current state.

The Archbishop was ready to stop Mulan and would bless the Shadow Demon with a Holy Light Barrier, but Mulan did not throw a second punch and instead picked up the Shadow Demon.

"Unless you want to tell us, do you know something about Alvin, something special, something we don't know about?"

Mulan held the Shadow Demon with one hand, and the other hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, and his eyes were very sharp.

The archbishop watched from the side, and just sighed slightly, then reached out and patted Mulan's arm gently, telling him to relax.

"Tell me, what else do you know? Mulan won't kill you."

After experiencing the previous nervousness, the archbishop also realized that Mulan's actions seemed to be of no importance, but in fact he was very careful about his actions and would not really kill anyone immediately. After all, such an outstanding young man must not be simple-minded. people.

What the Archbishop is more troubled about now is that no matter what news the Shadow Demon spits out, he cannot avoid Mulan. This young man will not let go of the news about his close friend. He is qualified to listen to it both emotionally and rationally. Driving someone away will really hurt him. It won this child's heart.

Shadow Demon eased the pain and finally confessed all the previous information.

The archbishop and Mulan both frowned upon hearing this.

"Anything else?"

Shadow Demon quickly answered.

"No more, I only know this much. I am innocent. Even if I am involved, someone must have framed me or controlled me and affected part of my magic!"

Mulan nodded and knocked Shadow Demon unconscious with a knife.

"Your Excellency, Archbishop, this is Digao after all, the capital of the Dilga Empire, and the center of power of Her Majesty Queen Nicehelil. No matter what, I will escort him to the Queen. If you have any objections, you can ask the Queen for help. People, I think she will agree, but tonight, I can’t hand people over to you!”

"So, goodbye Archbishop, may the Holy Light protect you!"

Mulan's demeanor and tone were extremely firm, leaving no room for rejection. The archbishop even suspected that he would defend this power at the cost of fighting himself.

This is the knight's stubbornness, or rather

The Archbishop looked at the unconscious Shadow Demon, whose body was already caught in the claws of a gargoyle.

I'm afraid Mulan wants to torture him privately in order to find out more information about Ai Wen. This is not possible, but it will happen.

But the archbishop couldn't stop him unless he really took action with Mulan here. After hesitation, he still chose to give in.

"Well, I hope you can ensure his survival. I will ask the queen for him personally. May the Holy Light protect your child!"

Mulan nodded, glanced at Sabastina, and then flew into the air again with a large group of gargoyles.

The dark bat wings swept away the falling snow in the sky and flew towards the black castle.

The archbishop stood alone on the damaged street. The heavy snow in the sky was no longer disturbing, and it was falling one after another at this moment. The residents around the street were either still asleep, or suppressed themselves and did not dare to speak out.

"Why!"

The archbishop sighed, does it really have something to do with Ivan again? Mulan now knows about this matter, and he doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

In the sky, a large group of gargoyles flew back to the Black Castle, and gargoyles continued to gather in the air from all sides of Digao City.

Sabastina sat on the gargoyle's back and scanned the many gargoyles around her, but she didn't smell any blood.

Although gargoyles are puppets, they are spiritual and have some consciousness of their own. Such beings often have a strong desire for an autonomous body and soul. If they cannot control it, they will easily kill animals and even humans.

But tonight, none of the gargoyles were messing around. It can only be said that when Mullan Jonst held the token, it brought exaggerated pressure to the gargoyles at the level of will.

Mulan had been looking at the gargoyle holding the shadow demon beside him, and Sabastina, who had been silent most of the time, suddenly spoke again.

"Professor Jonest, do you know the Quinas?"

Mulan turned to look at the red-robed witch.

"I know the Quinas language, but there is too little information and no serious research."

"Well, Quinas language is the language of the Quinas people, and it is also one of the oldest human tribes. Many things about the Quinas people are very mysterious and fascinating."

"But as far as I know, the research on the Quinas Department has not been mainstream a long time ago, mainly because very few valuable things have been discovered."

"Hey Hey."

Sabastina laughed hoarsely.

"But there is also extraordinary knowledge in the inheritance of the Quinas system, which can uncover many secrets. I believe that the various desires and ideas of the Quinas people are still wandering in the world, looking for their truth, and sometimes they are confused. Something responds."

Mulan said nothing, waiting for the next step.

"Professor Jonest, I was also present when you advanced. At that time, there was a roar suspected of Quinas' consciousness. Well, if I remember correctly, it should be Silusas?"

This time Sabastina's pronunciation was very standard.

Mulan was slightly stunned. He was immersed in the advanced state at that time. The shape of the world and the body and soul entered reality together. There was too much information rushing towards him, and the whistling sound was more like a cheer to him. , not thinking that deeply.

Sabastina looked at Mulan's reaction and added again.

"There is a magical context in the Quinas language. Silusas means some kind of apostle. Maybe Professor Jonst can study it with me if he has time."

Mulan's heart jumped suddenly, but her face was just slightly surprised, and she nodded lightly.

"Is there still this kind of interpretation? It's interesting. I can really study it when I have time. Maybe it can expand my avenues, but today is obviously not suitable. I need to go to the palace to return to life. Professor Sabastina shouldn't want to go with me, right?"

"Meet the Queen? I'm not going."

Mulan smiled, and then the gargoyle he was riding on and the gargoyle holding the shadow demon separated from the entire gargoyle group and flew toward the palace alone, while the other gargoyles returned to the black castle.

Outside the palace, Mulan and the gargoyles landed here before dawn, waiting for the queen to get up, waiting for her majesty to know his merits and loyalty as soon as possible.
