Yuri leaned closer to the wall on the side of the carriage, the freight carriage had no windows, but the grille had been opened in the hidden place, and his vision penetrated the gap between the iron plates, and he saw a thin fog on the platform at some point, uniformed people walking around in the background of light and fog, and a manager with a large number of keys was locking a fence door at the end of the platform.

Wendy's voice came from behind her: "There have been several 'whistleblowers' before, but they were all cleared after triggering the key consciousness lock, and this time the mind that was out of the network 'disappeared' out of thin air before triggering the consciousness lock...... It seems that some powerful force has directly blocked all mental connections......"

Yuri retracted his gaze and looked at a figure in the darkness, his voice low: "It seems that the continuous anomalies have aroused the alarm of Rosetta Augustus, and it is not too difficult to block the mental connection if the Royal Mage Guild takes action......"

"It's to be expected, it's just that the Royal Mages Guild and Rosetta Augustus reacted a little quicker than we thought," Wendy whispered, "and now it's all about how much damage the 'whistleblower' can do......"

"Most of the middle-level and above members have completed the counting and marking, and the two groups of people have been sent away before, and the situation is still under control," Yuri said as he returned to the crate and thought about it, "There will be no whistleblowers in the core layer, and most of the people who are shaken are below the middle level...... They have limited information, and it will be difficult for Rosetta Augustus to determine our detailed plans in the first place, so the train should still be safe...... But the follow-up must chart a new course as soon as possible. ”

"Do you want to cancel the next train?"

"Cancel, there can be no more large-scale transfers," Yuri nodded, "Let the compatriots who remain here move in batches and cross the border in pieces......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help frowning and sighed: "It's a pity that the psychic network can only operate in basic mode now, and it can't monitor every node as sensitively and accurately as before, and it can only react when the informant touches the consciousness lock...... There will certainly be a large number of shakers who slip through the net. ”

"It's all an expected loss, we just need to keep the core personnel and materials as much as possible," Wendy said slowly, and then frowned, "But Daniel's side ......"

"He should be safe - Daniel was only a mid-level priest two years ago, and he usually had few people to deal with, and after he was promoted to bishop, he began to operate in Aldenan, and due to the special area of his activities, his identity has always been highly confidential within the Order, and those who know it are reliable people. But I also have to make a certain reminder to him, he is in Aldenan after all......"

A sudden ringing of bells pierced the quiet night, interrupting Yuri's unfinished words.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and an indescribable sense of tension and anticipation permeated the crowd, as someone approached the hidden vents in the wall and looked out through the gaps between the iron plates.

The lights on the platform pierced through the mist, the glow of magic projections loomed in the mist, someone blew a whistle in the depths of the mist, a sharp sound passed from one end of the platform to the other, and a faint tremor began to come from the bottom of the carriage, and the hum of the power ridge became more and more obvious.

The lights on the top of the relay pile turned from red to green, and the platform slowly receded, and the heavy, huge industrial machine let out a low humming roar, and began to glide faster and faster on the railroad tracks, accelerating towards the thin fog in the distance, plunging headlong into the vast night......

……

Mary turned on the magic crystal lamp embedded in the wall, allowing the soft light to illuminate the living room, and the darkness and faint starlight that had previously filled the living room were dispelled by the artificial light in an instant, and the warm and bright atmosphere created a comfortable sense of security.

Then a voice suddenly came from the corner, and the young female mage who was about to hang her coat on the coat rack was almost startled: "Why did you come back so late?" ”

"Mentor...... You haven't slept yet? Mary turned her head and was surprised to see Daniel sitting on the sofa in the corner of the living room, with a small brown suitcase on the round table in front of the sofa, and the old mage's eyes were inquiring, which made the young female mage react in a hurry, "Ah, I'm looking up information in the Royal Library...... Accidentally missed the time......"

"It's good to love studying, but it's another thing to almost be locked in the library," Daniel shook his head, motioning for Mary to come closer and casually ask, "Did you encounter any suspicious people or things?" ”

"No," wondered Mary as she sat down on the small couch across from Daniel, "why do you ask?" ”

“…… It's nothing, just be careful lately, don't tell outsiders too much about our previous days in seclusion in the West," Daniel's voice was low, his fingers as if unconsciously tapping on the small box on the round table, and after a moment's thought, he pushed the small box forward, "Mary, this box is for you to keep. ”

"Ah...... Okay, okay," Mary subconsciously obeyed the guru's order, and only after taking the box in her hand did she ask in hindsight, "Teacher, what's in this?" ”

“…… Some of my notes and materials have been compiled over the years," Daniel said casually, "and the other apprentices are not serious about these things, and it would be nice if they could understand their own knowledge, and you are somewhat smarter than the others......"

Mary listened to Daniel's flat voice, but her eyes widened with astonishment, and she finally couldn't help but speak: "Mentor, ...... you are?"

"Don't be so nervous, just be prepared," Daniel glanced at Mary, his tone stern, "Look at your startled appearance at every turn, how can you have a little magician calm?" How can I trust you with my stuff? ”

Mary suddenly shrunk her neck, not daring to continue speaking, and Daniel, who was sitting opposite, snorted coldly with a little dissatisfaction, and then said, "You know about the psychic network...... Knowing also what has happened lately, our master has overcome a god, but there are those who are wavering in their will to fear Him......

"Mary, if something goes wrong, you can inherit what I have left behind, I have no one to entrust, and you are more or less the wiser of my long group of unsuccessful apprentices......

"Windsor may respect me, but she is more loyal to her emperor, she was taught by me, but she is no longer my apprentice.

"For now, you just put these things away, remember, this is just a preparation, and it's almost impossible for us to use it."

Mary looked fixedly at the small box in her hand, and then looked up at the teacher in front of her, and the old mage sat there quietly, with only a calm in his sunken eyes.

When did this terrible and powerful old man completely fade away from madness and paranoia?

Mary suddenly found herself missing the final stage of this change, immersed in Aldenan's library and magic laboratory, immersed in a new, learning environment, greedily absorbing knowledge like a sponge, enjoying the most ordinary daily life of a normal mage, and now she suddenly woke up to the astonishment of her terrible mentor...... I don't know when I have become like an ordinary old man in the twilight.

She reacted suddenly, habitually shrunk her neck, and lowered her head: "Mentor, I...... I see......"

"It's good to understand," Daniel said lightly, then put his hand on the table and slowly stood up from the couch, "Rest early today, we have experiments to do tomorrow." ”

He left the round table, his stumbling body bent forward, and walked slowly towards the stairs not far away, artificial nerve cords hanging quietly behind him, these biochemical products that had terrified Mary, but now they were like inanimate burdens, weighing heavily on the old mage's back.

"Mentor," Mary suddenly couldn't help but scream, but she didn't know what to continue to say after she spoke, she seemed to have a head full of things to say, but when she spoke, there was only a large blank space left in her brain, and after a few seconds of awkward and nervous silence, she finally organized a sentence, "Mentor, you...... Do you regret it? ”

She couldn't help biting her lip after saying this, her heart pounding uncontrollably, she realized that she was too reckless, and the question was not only bold, but almost offensive, this is not what an apprentice should say to a mentor, especially in this situation.

However, the old mage was not as furious as before, and did not even look back, he only paused slightly, and continued slowly in the direction of the stairs.

It wasn't until he stepped on the first step of the stairs that he said in a deep and slow voice, as if talking to himself: "Chaowen Dao......"

Mary stood there stunned.

The guru said a strange phrase that was made up of a few words, but she understood it, and she knew that it had been said by the great "master", a phrase that the god-like "master" had used to describe the seeker when talking to the guru about learning, and the guru had always liked it.

But what is the purpose of the teacher's answer with this sentence now?

Mary wanted to ask something more, but when she looked up, the mentor had disappeared on the steps leading to the second floor.

……

"Your Majesty, that's all I know." Lord Beaumel sat in his chair, his hands gripping the hem of his shirt nervously, his mouth a little dry from the long talk, but at the moment he did not dare to ask Miss Diana for a glass of cold wine to moisten his throat, he knew how much of what he had just said was enough to make his head fall to the ground, so after telling the matter and the table, he sat there like a prisoner awaiting trial, waiting for Rosetta Augustus to judge himself.

But an imperial ruler was clearly not in the mood to hold a little lord accountable for his sins at the moment.

"After so many years...... They had been hiding in Orlandelle, under the collapsed ruins......" Rosetta Augustus' expression had regained his composure, and he sat quietly in a high-backed chair, his right hand resting loosely on the armrest, and his left hand resting on his right arm, "Sleeper...... Augustus didn't owe them either. ”

Lord Beaumel's mind was a little confused, but he immediately caught some words in His Majesty's words, and after a brief moment of astonishment and surprise, he realized that he might have heard something that should not be heard, so he quickly lowered his eyelids and pretended not to hear anything.

"Your Majesty, we must begin to eradicate this cult at once," Windsor Marpel's voice came from the side, saving Lord Beaumel's thumping heart like a heavenly sound, "they have secretly grown to this size...... This is no small problem. ”

"That's true," Rosetta nodded, "they should have started a full evacuation and the removal of all traces left in various places by now, but it is impossible for such a large organization to completely disappear silently in a short period of time. ”

As he spoke, the ruler of Typhon smiled lightly, "But what I care more about is that Gawain Cecil...... A group of cultists awe-inspiredly called him an 'extraterritorial wanderer,' a 'god-like' who had invaded the present world from outside the world, which I had never thought about. ”

"Your Majesty, the cultists are acting insanely, but we still have to pay attention to this information," Windsor Marpel said immediately, "at least we can be sure that Gawain Cecil has somehow infiltrated and controlled the Eternal Sleeper in the Empire, which is undoubtedly a very terrible hidden danger, and he has planted countless eyeliners in the Empire...... The matter must be dealt with immediately and confidentially. ”

Rosetta nodded slightly, her expression serious, and at the same time, Windsor Marpel continued: "Also, the term 'extraterritorial wanderer' must be taken seriously. The sudden resurrection of an ancient hero who had been dead for seven hundred years was very strange from the start, and I thought ...... Indeed, it cannot be ruled out that something other than human is taking possession of Gawain Cecil's body, causing this incredible miracle of resurrection......"

Rosetta listened to Windsor Marpel's words, but suddenly shook her head and laughed softly.

"Your Majesty?"

"I don't care who is in that body, maybe he was 'Gawain Cecil' when he first got out of the coffin, but it doesn't matter who he used to be when he began to implement his new order," Rosetta Augustus said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter if it's a heroic spirit, an evil spirit, or even an incarnation of a god, and for us, his only meaningful identity is 'Emperor Cecil', our neighbor."

"But ...... the term 'extraterritorial wanderer'...... It's really interesting......
