After waking up

In addition to being able to feel the strong desire of the other party, Mulan did not believe a word of this demon's words, and Mulan was not actually very afraid of this demon. In fact, if the old wizard was willing to help, Mulan even wanted to use The fangs pierced the bottle cap and the demon directly.

Since the last time, the demonic transformation of the fangs has become more and more obvious. Since it can eat those spiritual bodies, in the current situation of the devil, it will definitely be able to hurt it, and even tear a piece of the spiritual body from it, but this kind of Mulan would not even mention the request. Firstly, he was afraid of exposing himself, and secondly, the old wizard would definitely not agree.

After all, no matter what, this demon is still the property of the old wizard. Yes, it is a kind of property. The magic of creating and summoning demons is not that simple to cast. The formation of the world of Waratar wizards follows a basic principle, magic. Power cannot arise out of thin air; powerful spells require a price.

Therefore, Mulan dares to conclude that the old wizard must have paid a price for summoning this demon, especially since this demon has such a strong sense of autonomy. According to the definition of Valata and other magic books, it is considered a high-level demon, just because of the initial physical Incompleteness is bad luck.

Today, Mulan will not study this demon for the time being. Instead, he locked the bottle in a box at home and then hurriedly left the Black Castle. He had received the news of the queen's summons in advance.

The seeds that were planted before have sprouted. Regarding the issue of corruption in the Imperial Military Department, the bosses at the top may still be able to sit still, but some people below are already feeling restless.

However, the newspaper office of Digao Daily had received an official warning not to publish the relevant news again, so on the sixth day, all the scandals related to the military in Digao Daily and several other newspapers suddenly disappeared.

When Mulan left the Black Castle, the once-a-week morning government meeting in the Digao Palace Council Hall was about to end, and no one mentioned the military scandal.

When the finance minister came to the end of his brief introduction to the current post-war expenditure situation, Nicehlier, who was sitting in his seat listening to various reports, suddenly waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, no need to say more."

The finance minister immediately stopped talking, and the queen had already looked in the direction of several generals.

"Actually, I have been waiting for someone to mention something today, but it seems that no one will say it. You must all have the habit of reading newspapers, right?"

Several generals looked unhappy, and other ministers seemed to understand something. Most of them remained silent, and only a few responded to the queen.

Nishelir's face turned ugly, and she ordered someone to take out the newspaper that had been prepared.

"I think you have all seen the content of the past few days, right? You have also seen the generals and you ministers, right?"

"Uh, Your Majesty."

As soon as one of the ministers started speaking, Nishelil immediately shouted angrily.

"The honor of the imperial army cannot be tarnished. Even if there are indeed some problems in the army, the stigma in the newspapers is too serious. It has reached the level where someone is deliberately spreading rumors and instigating. I have ordered people to notify all major newspapers to stop such news. Report, thoroughly investigate those who spread the news, and we will never tolerate it!”

"Your Majesty is wise!" "Thank you for your protection!"

Several generals and several responsible officials felt relieved and hurriedly offered some free flattery.

Then one of the Queen's closest ministers raised the topic, obviously talking about the possible instigation behind the newspaper, but also secretly questioning why the direction of their attack was the military. At the same time, he also related to the previous workers' unrest. The more the discussion, the more serious it became. The feeling of conspiracy inside.

"Okay, okay, that's it for today."

Nishelir seemed a little irritated, which directly set the tone.

"External threats must exist. I don't want to discuss whether there are spies in the army or among the ministers. However, there must be some minor problems in the logistics department of the imperial army. Everyone, I think we need to capture a few typical examples and punish them with capital punishment to calm down. The public’s anger, don’t make things worse!”

Even mentioning a spy was considered treason. The few relevant ministers dared not say anything more. While secretly wiping their sweat, they quickly praised the Queen for her wise decision.

When the meeting was over, Nishelir's serious face could no longer remain tense, and she burst out laughing. When she got up and went to the office, she also ordered someone to bring Mulan, who had arrived at the palace and was waiting aside.

Even when Mulan came to the queen's office, she could still see the smile that couldn't be hidden on the queen's face.

"Secretary Jones came just in time. You said those typical people who are going to be arrested. If they get the news in advance, how many things can they reveal in order to protect themselves?"

Mulan first saluted the Queen, and then smiled and nodded in response to the kind smiles of the two Queen's trusted ministers.

"Your Majesty, you need to proceed step by step, first catch the small fish, then lure the big fish, and peel off the cocoon layer by layer."

Nishelir smiled for a while, then suddenly sighed again.

"After I started to secretly investigate, I realized that there were many officials involved in this case, and there were also several ministers involved. It was impossible to eliminate them all. After a thorough investigation of a few typical people in the middle level, we could stop it, and then let individual generals Retiring with dignity as a minister should be the best outcome."

Hearing what the Queen said, Mulan knew that it was unrealistic to eliminate them all, but if he could do this, he would at least give a sigh of relief to his fallen brothers.

"It is very rare to be able to do this. From now on, His Majesty will have his own strategies to slowly reorganize the military."

Nishelir looked at Mulan who lowered his head slightly.

"Aren't you disappointed that I made such a decision?"

"On the contrary, Your Majesty, I understand that Your Majesty is doing this as a king's method. Thunder purging may be pleasant, but it may cause violent backlash and is not conducive to the operation of national government affairs and the military."

Anyway, Mulan chose to say something more appropriate and flattered her, which made Nicehelil chuckle again.

Nishelir felt that through this incident, she and Mulan had established trust and a tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects, which made her feel good, at least she thought so.

"Mr. Jones, although the matter is not over yet, I am confident that it will be handled properly. Of course you have merit, but it is not convenient to put it on the record. The main event of the reward can only be postponed for the time being. You will make merit again later." We will make up for it together when the time comes, but other material rewards must not be missing. How about giving you a wine estate?"

"Your Majesty, thank you very much for the reward!"

Let alone a winery, Mulan would happily accept a piece of cake.

Mulan is naturally a sensible and qualified minister in front of the Queen. He has achieved his goal and demonstrated his abilities in front of the Queen. The rest, since the Queen does not want to follow the direction of uprooting in the plan, naturally There was no need for Mulan to do anything. He just took the time to do his own research and prepare for his extraordinary path.

Even though Mulan seems to be prospering in the Black Castle, he actually knows that he has not really entered the core, because he cannot enter the seal library, and he does not even know the exact location, which is between the outer world and the inner world. The junction is guarded by forces that can interfere on both sides, and some sacred objects and some weird things are sealed inside.

When leaving the palace, Mulan felt a lot more relaxed. No matter what the result, his basic goal was achieved, but in the final analysis, the Dilga Empire was still a country centered on the interests of the royal power and the nobles.

Rather than saying that Mulan's plan seems a bit cruel, it is better to say that even Nice Helier believes that doing what she said is a great favor to the lower class, and at the same time, she does not want to have too many conflicts with the big nobles. Reconcile contradictions.

And this is not a purely superficial world. The existence of extraordinary beings makes many things variable, and the great nobles also have power.

Their position can be understood, and Mullan will not have any psychological burden on his own position.

After hurriedly returning to the Black Castle from the palace, the first thing Mulan did when he got home was to open the storage box to confirm that the Devil's Bottle was intact.

"Hehehehe, don't be nervous, even if the bottle opens by itself before you come back, I won't go far, I will be here waiting for you."

As soon as he took out the bottle, the devil's words started chattering out.

Mulan's response was to grab the bottle and shake it vigorously. This trick had a miraculous effect on the devil and could effectively reduce its desire to speak.

During the loan period of several days, when Mulan was alone with the Devil's Bottle, the guy inside had the same idea over and over again no matter what he said. He wanted to join forces with Mulan, and he even did not hesitate to accept Mulan as his master.

Mulan, on the other hand, didn't care about the devil's words. At most, he would occasionally tease the devil when he was bored.

For a being with such a high spiritual density like a demon, if a body can withstand it, its physical strength must be unusual. It must be shaped during the creation process. If that fails, it will have to occupy other bodies.

However, most bodies cannot meet the requirements. Demons can only penetrate the body little by little, and then slowly strengthen and grow slowly. That is, the demonization mentioned in the knowledge of demons is actually the same as most evil spirits' possession. They are very similar, so they may be misunderstood.

During this process, the original soul of the body will not be erased, because if the original soul dies too early, the body will also perish, so there will be a process of the original soul's will fighting against the devil's consciousness until it becomes compatible with the devil. Become a complete whole.

Mulan knew the principle very well, so he didn't believe even a single word of the devil's nonsense about believing in him as his master and joining forces.

Faced with the demon who forced him to silence himself through violent means, Mulan opened several magic books and a book of secrets at the same time to compare the path. His understanding of the three world levels was not a big problem, the key was the five elements.

"The creative elements that represent the future seem to be somewhat similar to the old wizard's creation of demons. If you want to condense the spiritual first element, you may start here, but the difference is that I need to clearly identify my future. "

"Well, in terms of basic elements, my body and soul should be well tempered. I can definitely get resources such as potions. At least the level of potions at this stage is definitely not high. As for special elements, I actually have them. Fifth The elements are too evil and are powerful external forces, so don’t touch them.”

Mulan was writing in a notebook, which was full of various formation patterns and a series of formulas, including mystical ones, as well as some modern formulas from previous lives used to calculate potions and material things.

Mulan even drew an album by himself, dividing the human body into two levels, virtual and real, and embodying the three worlds in a circular shape around the human body. The five major elements are buckled within the scope of the three worlds using media of different colors and shapes. , with entry explanations and drawings of extraordinary level pathways.

The content in this kind of notebook can be regarded as a magic book, and there are many things that even the old wizard will definitely not be able to understand. Even if there are many things that are not understandable, they will definitely produce a sense of unknown power.

According to Mulan's own calculations, no matter which path he chooses, his success rate is high, but no matter which path he chooses, the basic step is crucial. Unlike others who are unclear and unclear, relying on talent Different from achieving the extraordinary through metaphysics, Mulan believes that he has the ability to clearly step into the extraordinary.

Anyway, most people will have their physical fitness assessed at Black Castle once every six months, confirm their level of physical enlightenment and try to match their paths every year, and it will take two or three years until they start to condense or prepare several major elements and try to build a world. Now Black Castle has a systematic system. Teaching may be possible while cultivating the body while preparing for other matters, but it will take at least more than a year to be effective.

Mulan felt that as long as he was not overtaken by the students, he still had plenty of time. He suddenly discovered another charm of the mysterious world, which was the charm of researching and exploring the truth.

Mulan even had an idea of ​​the cane teleportation incident that was once unclear. This is a kind of interference of the owner with special items, and it is not without precedent. It just requires a strong will and spirit to a certain extent, and a strong force to cooperate. It seemed a little strange when he appeared at that time.

Mulan swore that he really didn't mean to be a top student, because his strength simply didn't allow it.
