After waking up

"Lord Jones, this is the latest confirmation document. The content is relatively sensitive. Please make relevant decisions as soon as possible."

An official in black delivered a black document to Mulan's office. The latter looked at the man and frowned.

"Where's Sir Walton?"

"Sir, I still can't enter the secret room. It's obvious that Lord Walton hasn't fully woken up yet."

"Is it."

Mulan responded lightly while opening the black document. The cover alone represented an ominous atmosphere, and the text on it also made his pupils dilate slightly and his expression changed obviously.

There were some familiar names among them. Until one of the names, Mulan's eyes finally stopped and he read out softly.

"Owen. I didn't expect that even he had bad intentions."

"I'm sorry, sir, but this is the fact. Several members of the Imperial Intelligence Agency's subordinate agencies disappeared during the follow-up and investigation process. It is thought that they will never come back. Although there is no absolute evidence, it is enough for us to draw this inference. ."

Mulan raised his head and nodded slightly.

"This matter is indeed beyond your ability to handle it. I will figure it out. By the way, what is your Majesty's opinion?"

It is impossible for this kind of document to be handed over to Mulan first. There are at least a few people in front of him who will get the news before Mulan. Nishelir will definitely be the first to read it.

"His Majesty's opinion is that it is best to confirm clearly. If it cannot be determined, then it will be processed along with the documents."

Processing the documents together was equivalent to confirming the target's treason. After confirming again, Mulan sent the officials away, clutching the documents and lost in thought. After the footsteps also left, the complex expression on Mulan's face gradually calmed down.

Several people from the Imperial Intelligence Agency were not led by Owen in the beginning, but were led by Mulan and the Hermit Blood Clan. No matter what happened in the process, the result can be said to be caused by Mulan.

The relevant personnel in the document have specific locations, and even Irving marked that he was suspected to be in a certain area of ​​Bach.

Mulanzi read all the information carefully, then sat in a chair and fell into deep thought, without any words or movements until dusk.

"Someone is coming."

As soon as Mulan finished speaking, someone arrived at the door of the office.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Is there a messenger from the palace?"

The staff member of the Ministry of Magic was about to answer when he suddenly noticed the sound of footsteps not far away. Then he stepped aside and another palace envoy entered the office after bowing and holding a letter with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is the Queen's personal letter."

Mulan immediately sat upright and took the letter, but the recipient was not Mulan, but read: Yourselves, Mr. Owen.

Mulan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then relaxed. Based on his understanding of Nishelir, of course, what Owen did could not be the instruction of His Majesty.

Since it was a letter to Irving, Mulan naturally would not open it, but he also guessed some of the contents. He looked up at the messenger and waited for the follow-up.

"Your Majesty also has a message for you, Lord Count."

"explain."

The messenger relieved his slight tension and spoke.

"Just bring him back. Whether he wants it or not, he can live or die as he pleases."

This letter is a secret order. It belongs to Owen's secret recall order. It can also be understood as a reminder. It was sent directly to Mulan by Nishelir.

‘She is really angry! ’

With such a sigh, Mullan looked at the letter again. Reasonable and reasonable, Earl Jonest in his current position would give Owen a chance, at least on the surface.

As for sending a letter to alert the enemy, first of all, it had already become a fact when the imperial intelligence personnel disappeared. Secondly, the personnel who went to recall were also variables handlers. This letter could barely be regarded as giving Owen a chance.

"After all, it's hard work for Black Castle."

Mulan murmured, but his eyes were very calm. He knew the final result very well, and even if Owen really still wanted Dilga in his heart, it was not that important.

Since the darkness has already written the script, it will be exposed to the light sooner or later, so why not let us pull it off in advance.

Mulan held the thin document in his hand, stuffed it into his pocket, put on his gray mink velvet windbreaker, put on his black big-brimmed hat, and walked out of the office holding a silver-handled cane.

In the night sky a day later, a black-painted airship was flying quietly at high altitude. On board the airship was Mulan and several extraordinary beings accompanying him, including old acquaintances like Handel and Barton, and a few A strange existence.

Not many people know about Mulan's secret departure. Now he is an important figure in the party. Whether it is his status as a military and political official of Dilga, or his unfathomable and terrifying growth of strength, Mulan's every move has made him A move attracts attention.

Mulan did not fully reveal what this mission was to the people accompanying him, and even Handel didn't know much about it. On the contrary, Barton, who was also a member of Dawn, already knew everything.

Bach is a hostile country of Dilga, and it is definitely a very impolite and dangerous act to sneak into its territory without saying hello to a person like Mulan.

This special airship allows them to fly at a height that is difficult to observe. The magic array can only stabilize the airship itself, but it is not omnipotent, so that the airship operators wear heavy warm clothes and may even need oxygen.

But Mulan and other extraordinary beings don't need it. He stands on the outer edge of the airship with a section of the front end exposed, surrounded by other extraordinary beings.

‘What kind of mission is this time that Lord Jonest is actually leading the team in person? ’

Many people thought so, and some even speculated whether they wanted to assassinate Bach's iron-fisted regent.

"Everything on earth seems so small from this height."

Mulan suddenly spoke calmly, and no one around him dared to talk.

"It will also give people the illusion of being superior, causing contempt for the creatures below and stronger worship of the beings above. They want to be higher and closer, and they want to strive for it in some way to achieve that height, or receiving the care and grace of that high being.”

Mulan reached out and pressed the brim of his hat.

"As everyone knows, the so-called great heights are beyond the reach of human beings' ridiculous thinking, let alone predicting or even controlling something. Sadly, countless people have always wanted to do this."

After speaking, Mulan looked to his side.

"Let the airship find a suitable place to lower its altitude."

"yes."

The height of the airship began to decrease, but it did not land. Mulan and others jumped off the airship one by one when they were still more than ten meters above the ground.

It's a foggy weather now. This is the flat roof of a building. Looking up at the airship, we can only see a blur of light and shadow due to the blessing of the special magic array. Coupled with the fog, it is very difficult to detect.

Mulan and others jumped off one side one after another, and when they reappeared, they were already on the streets of this city. This was the last place where Dilga intelligence personnel lost contact, and it was also the place where Owen was most likely to exist.

Not long after getting off the airship, Mulan and the people around him noticed something was wrong.

“Is Bach’s central city too quiet at night?”

Someone raised doubts, and at the same time, they reminded fellow travelers to be more vigilant, something was not right.

"Handel, is he here?"

Handel took out a pen from his pocket, which belonged to Irving. He sniffed it for a while and nodded in reply.

"It's already within sensing distance. It should be in this city, but the other smells here are very wrong, with a violent fishy smell, this smell."

Handel stopped talking because they saw some shaky figures on the street in front of them.

"Are you a resident?"

"No, the posture is a bit strange."

Several people approached slowly, hiding in the shadow of the building to calm down. Behind the faint mist on the ground, several figures moved past them in a slightly awkward posture, allowing several people to see the bulging eyeballs and the ferocious eyes. The face, the drooling toothy mouth, and the somewhat lush body hair on the face and bare arms and hands

Handel couldn't help frowning and rubbing his nose, gritting his teeth and whispering.

"This is definitely not a human being, but what on earth is it? I've never smelled something so disgusting!"

Barton's cold eyes stared at the retreating figures.

"Judging from their clothes, they seem to have been residents here. What happened here?"

"Sir, do you know how they became like this?"

Mulan was also observing those figures from behind, frowning and shaking his head.

"I have never seen this kind of situation, but there is no doubt that they are ordinary people who have encountered some kind of misfortune. Let's find the target first."

"Um."

Handel immediately gathered his weak magic power, began to search for the target, and then led everyone closer.

The whole city is very dark, but this is understandable. If there are monsters wandering around at night, the lights will usually be turned off early.

Ten minutes later, a few people gently opened the door of a house, intending to take a short rest because they were very close to their target.

However, when they entered the house, the owner was not sleeping, but wandering around the house. After seeing someone coming in, he quickly rushed towards them.

"Uh-huh." "Huh."

The two people in front took action directly, instantly suppressing several house owners and pushing them to the ground.

Mulan looked down at the owners of the house who were still struggling with their limbs, and looked at their ferocious expressions and movements in silence. Several people around him, even Handel, felt their scalps numb.

"Could it be that there are no living people left in this city?"

"This kind of thing is created by man."

Mulan squatted down, used a knife to take some tissue and put it into a test tube. Then he touched the backs of several people's necks with his hands, directly cutting off the nerve signals inside them. The two people responsible for suppressing them also released their hands.

As extraordinary beings, they can all sense that there are no human souls in these bodies.

"There is no need to rest. Let's go directly to him. It's time to tell you the target. He is Sir Owen, the former senior adviser to the Ministry of Magic."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, but they didn't say anything. After Mulan stood up and led the people to open the door and go out, and instantly increased their speed, the group of seven people took advantage of the ground, walls, street lamps and other places like ghosts, and rushed forward quickly.
