On December 17, 77 years of the faith calendar, Mu Yan returned to Falan City before the New Year.

However, he is not alone in this return, and he is accompanied by a little girl.

It was Shireen, who had blonde hair.

It's just that she doesn't look like the girl before, and the whole person is obviously much more mature: a pair of clear eyes seem to be old and ancient, without a trace of waves, and from time to time there is a flash of indifference, as if she has read all the vicissitudes of the world.

This is indeed Shireen, but to be precise, a collection of Shireen's consciousness.

At the beginning, Herakos fell beside him with Lao Xu's child, and after the child was born, the couple both died, the former because of his weak body, and the latter also because of his weak body, because of Lao Xu's special identity, so this girl was born with a clear consciousness.

The newborn Shireen was smarter than the other babies, and when the other sirens on the island carried her to the god of the sea, Calypso saw a deep curiosity in the girl's eyes, so he spared her life.

After this, Calypso puts her as a normal human to go to land to find information, and every time she sets out, her memories are temporarily blocked, and she is disguised as a girl who doesn't know anything, but every time, this Shireen loves to read and this is her favorite way to explore the world.

When she was in Cartan City, Mrs. Elysifer's daughter was like this, and when she was at Duke Carter's house, so was Shireen Carter, and every time Shireen returned to the deep sea, she would talk about the amount of reading that would add up, and with the continuous accumulation, Shireen in front of her became a veritable mobile encyclopedia, knowing astronomy and geography, and stabilizing Mu Yan in terms of knowledge reserves.

However, because her appearance is always accompanied by a "change of identity", it is always accompanied by the madness of a poor mother, and therefore every part of her life is a tragedy, and it is also short-lived, and Mrs. Elychifer is the best mother of all, but her fate is equally miserable. And Shireen Carter's mother went insane because she witnessed her child being replaced by Shireen.

Therefore, although Miss Shilin has a wealth of knowledge, her emotional intelligence is no different from that of a teenager, she just repeatedly experiences puberty without consciousness, and she doesn't even accumulate much experience, but despite this, Mu Yan still feels extremely terrifying when she is stared at by those clear eyes

It's a feeling of being seen through without reservation

"I don't know if Philo can handle it."

He muttered.

"Did you inform the people of Falan City at the end to control the progress of the three countries?" She asked suddenly.

Mu Yan was stunned.

It seems to have been seen through again

The scholar gently held his forehead: "Well, it's true, even if I persuaded Gavin XVII, he had to hesitate, deliberate, and override public opinion, and finally made up his mind to mobilize the whole country before Esola Bay was flooded, and the people also needed to be slapped hard and feel pain to wake up, which was a big loss for Turing, so I told him first." Then there is the Morning Star, I believe dear Suria, who can convince Charles III, but the Morning Star people are not easy to move, they have lived in that land for too long to give it up easily

"On the contrary, it is Jialan" Mu Yan sighed with a wry smile: "They are the closest to the Kadra Plateau, and it is best to talk about it, even, I think the Jialan people can do all this in a month, through the transportation device researched by the Villefort Chamber of Commerce, it is not difficult to move all the tens of millions of people in Falan City to the Kadra Plateau, if every city is Falan City, how good it would be." ”

"But why would you do that?"

"I didn't feel that time was running out before, but now I feel it." Mu Yan said lightly: "In the past, my fear came from the unknown, but as long as I was busy, I could always forget the unknown, and even comfort myself with the uncertainty of the future and the fun of uncovering puzzles." But now, as the future becomes clearer and I understand what I'm up against, the more concrete that pressure becomes," he pouted, as if reluctant to continue.

Shireen looked up at him, the curiosity and confusion in her eyes gradually dissipating, and finally a touch of sadness.

The girl raised her hand and gently pressed it on Mu Yan's forehead.

"I can feel that you are impatient, I can also see it, it is spreading at an accelerated pace, like ink stains in clear water"

Mu Yan smiled and pushed her away without a trace.

"I didn't see that you are still a qualified star and see no way, as long as the humans in the Shepherd Plain move, my small movements will be discovered by that person, and now he has found out, so there is not much time left for me, please keep this secret for me."

Shireen was puzzled and asked rhetorically, "Why?" Shouldn't you tell everyone to be wary of you, to be on your guard against you, and to be wary of you suddenly becoming a minion of the destroyer of the world, and in turn endangering the world? ”

Mu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and reached out to rub her hair.

"You have lived for nothing for more than 10,000 years, honesty and honesty are two different things. Okay, you know the way yourself, go straight to Fello, and hope that his hot chest will touch your ice lump. Don't tell him your age, lest he doubt life. ”

Shireen wrinkled her nose and raised her foot to leave, when she suddenly turned around.

"Can you hug me?"

Mu Yan scratched his head when he heard this.

"I'm afraid it's not right"

Before he finished speaking, a light and warm wind blew over, Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then Wen Yu was full of arms.

He sighed imperceptibly.

Before the marriage is over, there is an extra daughter, what kind of thing is this?

After about two or three seconds, Shireen pushed him away.

"That's it! Thank you. ”

The girl jumped away in two or three steps and quickly disappeared.

Seeing her leave, Mu Yan moved his gaze in the direction of Teacher Glazer's tombstone, where a figure was already standing.

Well, it's Mr. Zha.

"Teacher, don't you want a long-awaited hug?" He asked from afar.

Teacher Zha didn't raise his head, and spilled the tea on the ground by himself.

He set up a trigger device on the teleportation array of the Ember Tower, and as soon as he felt the fluctuations, he rushed to it as soon as he felt it, and politely left Mu Yan's personal space.

"You know what," Teacher Zha said, looking at the young man in front of him, as if he was pointing.

"There was once a mage who raised thirteen female apprentices in the tower, and each of them was brilliant and talented."

"And then?"

"Then he died."

"Everyone dies, the question is how did he die?"

"The thirteen female apprentices competed for favor and asked him who he really loved, but he couldn't tell or bother to say, so he was drunk by these thirteen crazy women on the night of his one hundred and forty-fourth birthday, and then disassembled them into thirteen parts fairly, and each took them back to the alchemy room to soak" Teacher Zha looked at him meaningfully: "This is the origin of the Huo's thirteen division method, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that the mage is better to be single-minded." I've heard that Miss Surya's swordsmanship has improved recently."

Mu Yan smiled bitterly.

"That girl is in a special situation, alas, I'll explain it to you slowly."

"Just in front of him." Teacher Nunu lowered his chin and motioned to speak here.

Mu Yan's expression also softened.

"Well, I'm sure Mr. Glazer must be interested, too"

Mu Yan started from going to sea, until he put the sea god together, and then got into Safron at the last moment.

"As I walked through the flame portal, Garton was visibly frightened, but was speechless when he saw what I was carrying. He could feel the breath of the pure white orb, and for a moment there was obvious greed."

"So how did you solve it?" Teacher Zha said curiously.

"I only mentioned one person's name, and he stopped the fire."

"Your Majesty?"

"Who else but him?" Mu Yan smiled: "I said that he left it with Calypso, and told him that before the Word of Word rescued him, he went to Calypso, but the latter rejected it and Garton burst into tears on the spot, shouting that the woman was really stupid." But this guy still didn't give up, and after hearing about General Dalin's deeds, his weird collecting habit flare up again, desperately trying to turn Dalin into his own follower."

Teacher Zha was also amused.

"So you left the sword at Safron?"

"It's not all for this reason," Mu Yan shook his head and said, "Staying there is because the contract on the sword has not been dissolved, and that sword still belongs to Prince Enke, and it is recalled all the time." In order to break the confinement of Calypso, General Dalin had consumed most of his strength, and now he was unable to resist the recall, and it was Garton who was helping him with his divine powers, so as to prevent the sword from returning to Nanami. The weapon's subordination contract comes from Kanrosh, and it's even more likely that it's a legacy of Mia, and with my current superficial grasp of the power of the cocktail, I can't modify it"

Teacher Zha nodded, looking at the tombstone in distraction.

"If he had been around, we might have gone a lot better"

"yes, if Mr. Glazer is still around"

After a short silence, the master and apprentice tacitly skipped this topic, and Mu Yan talked about the rush in the past few months.

"Although the crystallization of faith is still with me, it has also angered Calypso. The woman had the idea of flooding the land, and once the tidehunter was freed up, the consequences would be unimaginable. "So just in case, I left the Jackdaw on guard in the sea, and then went to Turing and Morning Star, and told them to move the whole country to the Kadra Plateau." ”

Teacher Zha nodded, "For the sake of fairness, you will notify Jialan for the last time?" ”

"It's true that our advantage is too great." Mu Yan smiled bitterly.

In addition to the advantages that belonged to Jialan that she said to Shilin, in fact, the Jialan Empire now has a huge advantage

That's vigor.

Since that change a year ago, the whole Jialan has been reborn. With Fa Lan City as the center, a thriving vitality spreads outward, and only one year is enough to bring this ancient magical country back to its former glory and stride out of the mire.

This is the essence of mages and scholars, the things that the Jialan people were most proud of in the distant past, and what they truly felt noble, and now, they are all back.

Therefore, Mu Yan has to balance a little, and sometimes he has to lose justice in order to balance.

Teacher Zha thought for a moment, looked up and said, "I have to go back to Turing." ”

"Huh?"

"On the one hand, I want to return the bones of the Turings, and then urge Gavin XVII, on the other hand," Mr. Zha's tone was slightly cold: "You mentioned the scum named David Jones, and since he hates humanity so much, I must strangle this threat in the cradle." ”

Although the righteousness of what Mr. Zha said was awe-inspiring, Mu Yan had an inexplicable feeling of how he listened to it.

It seems that there is still a layer of subtext that has not been spoken

"Teacher, Davy Jones is probably dead," he replied, and stared strangely

"Ahem" Teacher Zha coughed lightly a few times and turned the topic back to him: "It's been so long, you should have figured out how to deal with me, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Teacher Zha spouts at the place where Shirin disappeared.

"You are really a hexagram" Mu Yan scratched his head and said: "Remember what I said before about the mysterious tester Fortson Xu, Lao Xu is Shilin's father, I was fortunate to have contact with him, and inherited part of this guy's knowledge, it just so happens that the girl remembers very early, and I haven't seen what her father said since she was a child, she seems to have a bit of a father-love complex, and I happen to have the breath of Lao Xu, plus I rescued her, so I fulfilled her dream." ”

Teacher Zha restrained his smile and looked elsewhere,

"Mu Yan, do you know I'm not asking about this?"

"Huh? So what to ask? ”

"She looked at you one last time before leaving, as if she were looking at a flower that was about to wither, you should be hiding something from me, right?"

Mu Yan was stunned, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal.

"I'm busy," he smiled softly.

"And what happened next was dangerous, in every sense of the word."

"Maybe."

Teacher Zha no longer asked, but gave his apprentice a hug.

"Welcome back, then." 11
