After waking up

The tide of animals escaping from the fire lasted for a long time before stopping. However, except for attacking the advancing army in the initial stage, the subsequent beasts will continue the trajectory of the animals in front and actively avoid the human army.

Even though few animals rushed into the military formation again, the fleeing trend of animals of all sizes and beasts still brought great shock to the soldiers of the advancing legion.

When the beast tide was almost over, many soldiers were still squatting on the ground, because occasionally sporadic animals would still pop out.

After everything calmed down, many people gradually got up.

"So many beasts"

"Is anyone injured?" "Here, my leg was broken."

"And me, oops"

"Can we improve the food today?"

"Yeah, so much game!"

The soldiers soon became happy. Not to mention the animals that were shot to death, there were also many animals that trampled each other to death and maimed them.

Under the command of the officer, many soldiers of the advancing legion went to pick up game nearby. At first, they picked up everything they saw, but later they found too many. Some smaller ones were almost discarded, and the larger ones were picked out. From the back, I pick the fur that tastes good.

The ordinary soldiers of the entire advancing corps were very happy, but the mood of the senior officers was not so good.

If you can't pass through the Lombardy Forest, you will have to take a long detour. Victory was already in sight, but now there may be changes.

Mulan did not directly order a detour. Within the scope of conditions permitting, he also did not want to displease the soldiers, so he directly ordered the regiment to retreat a few kilometers and hold a barbecue tonight.

At night, the fire in the distant forest made the sky red. There were bonfires everywhere in the camp of the advancing army. One after another prepared animals were put on the fire for barbecue. There was the sound of barbecue sizzling oil everywhere. The smell of meat is wafting.

To be honest, the food of the advancing army was not bad, but such a barbecue still made all the soldiers salivate.

Near the outskirts of the big forest, Mulan and two professors from Black Castle were standing here. They cared more about the sounds they heard during the day than the barbecue carnival.

"Two professors, what do you think that sound represents?"

After hearing Mulan's words, Sabastina thought for a moment and spoke directly.

"Theoretically, except for some special ones, extraordinary species in nature should have been extinct for a long time. Even if they are not extinct, they will definitely be discovered by human extraordinary people, but it is not absolute."

Haisen said even more confidently at this moment.

"Legion Commander, Professor Sabastina, I think it must be a certain extraordinary species that lives in the Lombardy Forest without any competition from the world. But it may not be an ancient species. It may also be an ordinary animal that mutated and awakened, but This possibility is relatively small.”

Haisen looked at Mulan.

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, from the perspective of ancient species protection and research, I want to find out. If possible, maybe capture it."

"I'll give you one night. You need to return to the legion before dawn."

Hessen smiled.

"That's enough, then I'll excuse you now!"

After saying this, Hessen jumped directly into the forest, leaving only Mulan and Sabastina still watching. One was because it was inconvenient to leave, and the other was not interested.

"You need to be vigilant tonight. If Kingspeare wants to make a last-ditch effort, it will be possible for a while."

"Yes, your Excellency, Legion Commander! Over in Deauville, the dollhouse has been opened and they escaped successfully."

Sabastina revealed what Mulan was most concerned about.

"Well done, I'll remember it."

"It's my honor to share your worries with you!"

Sabastina smiled, and then left here with Mulan back to the military camp.

At night, a whole roasted deer was placed in Mulan's tent. It was a young doe. The meat was delicious, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Although it was simply sprinkled with a layer of salt, the fragrance was overflowing and made people feel uneasy. Doubtful of its deliciousness.

Mulan cut the meat with a knife and ate it, while flipping through the books on the table. This was the magic book given by Sabastina, which recorded the concise contents of her research on the Quinas civilization. Rise and Fall, but it was primarily the Raven Queen content that interested Mullan.

Mulan chewed the delicious venison in his mouth and murmured after swallowing.

"Elves."

The content of the magic book is largely Sabastina's summary, and also represents her personal opinion. She believes that the original true form of the Crow Queen is actually a powerful elf in nature, not a simple ancient species. Extraordinary beings.

Because of the continuous integration of the faith of the Quinas people and the pure power of the soul after death, the Crow Queen became more and more powerful, and changed her original appearance, becoming the real Crow Queen imagined by the Quinas people.

Theoretically, although the elves have a self, they were originally born purely in this world. Their initial power also comes from nature and has basically nothing to do with the evil gods and the chaotic void. As for the various magics of the elves, Mulan is also involved in various I've seen it in magic books, but of course, it's all speculation.

During their heyday, Waratar wizards were very obsessed with exploring things related to elves, and they may have achieved certain achievements. The Crow Queen was also one of their directions, and it was probably related to the demonic power they could use.

So if elves really exist, when did they disappear? If the Crow Queen is in the other world, are the other elves also pulled into the other world?

Mulan's fingers rested on this sentence in the book. This was both Sabastina's doubts in the book and what he was thinking in his heart.

Mulan stuffed a mouthful of venison into his mouth, then put down his knife, took out his notebook, and wrote down a sentence with a pen:

Elves are born in nature and are extremely sensitive to nature. The formation of the other world is the greatest sorrow of the world and the sorrow of the elves. They are likely to be the first victims. As some kind of magic power of the world itself, the elves are pulled in The other world not only blocks everything in the other world, but also blocks oneself. Perhaps, the other world is the largest "secret realm" on the natural level of the world.

If Sabastina were here, she would definitely be shocked. Combined with what she wrote herself, Mulan's record has a sense of hitting the nail on the head. This kind of terrifyingly sharp intuition and thinking ability, let alone ordinary people, even extraordinary people. It’s hard for anyone to keep up with the apostle’s thinking speed.

Mulan put down his pen and raised his head slightly, but his eyes were unfocused. He was not looking at the roof of the tent or the air, as if he was looking through the void.

"Then the world I live in, maybe you should pay more attention to me. In this world, besides myself, I, Mulan Jonst, the Dawn I established, and the patriots of Dawn, may be the only real ones after dusk. Lifted torch!”

Mulan stood up, and the dawn mark on his right palm slowly appeared, revealing a faint light.

"We may not succeed, but we will risk our lives to fulfill our oath. If there is still time, if this generation fails, then the next will succeed, until this light is completely destroyed!"

Well, there was no response, so Mulan sat back again, shrugged, moved his hands and feet, and continued eating meat and reading.

I am idle, so I might as well give it a try, and if it works, hey, I, Mullan Jonst, am really worried about the world and mankind!

Mulan was even a little touched by herself, and then shook her body and patted her face. After all, she had no friends to disgust her with, so don't make yourself disgusted.

"Uh-huh——"

The melodious chirping from the direction of the forest appeared again. Mulan stopped cutting meat, walked out of the tent and looked towards the red sky. Has Professor Haisen found it?

At this moment, Mulan's sight narrowed slightly. In the fiery red night sky, he seemed to be able to see a faint blue light, as if countless fine points of light were rising from below the forest, swaying in the sky like smoke. .

"Uh-huh——"

A beautiful creature whose body was made of blue flame-like light waves rose from the forest. The light waves were like ripples in the water, dyeing the red sky with a layer of blue.

The reason why Mulan thought it was a living thing was because he seemed to be able to see those bright eyes, like a pool of ruby-colored lake water.

The beautiful creature opened its mouth, and waves of ripples spread from its mouth toward the sky.

"Uh-huh——"

There seems to be an emotion in this melodious voice, which is a kind of mourning.

"Ding Dong~"

The knife fell to the ground and made a crisp sound. Mulan frowned slightly, and then opened his eyes. His eyes were on the table and the wall of the tent. He raised his head and looked at the door. The tent had not been opened.

Dream? When did I fall asleep?
