"That's weird......" Shi Zhengyang was even more puzzled when he thought of this.

"Dark Blade or all of Song Yu's actions are traceable, he dispatched the card of the Royal Mage Regiment to ambush us, and also learned the specific strengthening direction of each of us through Xu Lei, and selected the most suitable ambush location." Mu Lan analyzed: "Only I can't understand the behavior of this Dark Blade Captain. ”

"Could it be ......" Mu Lan's expression changed, "There is only one explanation, he is deceiving his captain." ”

"Song Yu deceived the captain of the Dark Blade and used the boss's hand to eliminate dissidents?" Zhao Ziyu followed Mu Lan's train of thought, suddenly thought of this, and exclaimed.

"Oh my God! It's too yin! Lin Yiyi shuddered, "It's really a fox." ”

"No, it's the most insidious jackal!"

"It does make sense." Mu Lan said, "This also makes me more curious about his hole cards, the captain who opens the gene lock can be sacrificed, why is he so confident, what kind of hole cards can make him dare to face the final battle?" ”

"I can't figure it out...... Shi Zhengyang couldn't think of it after thinking about it, scratched his head, and said, "What about your second doubt?" ”

"The second one is also about Song Yu." Mu Lan recalled that when he was in the Magic Guild, Hawkins said that a young man had also approached them to propose the idea of wooing, but was rejected, and the appearance of that person could be determined to be Song Yu himself through Hawkins's description, and he had the same idea as me before the arrival of the rock.

"He pretended to be a magic apprentice and stayed in the magic guild for a long time, definitely not just to win over allies!" Mu Lan was convinced, "I'm going to the Magic Guild, and it just so happens that Hawkins has something to do with me." ”

......

The streets of Saint-Dentier are gradually recovering from the smoke and fire, the markets are gradually opening up, and caravans from the south are moving through the streets.

Julian opened the regent's granary and opened a shop directly in the name of the royal family, selling it to the people at a very low price, which somewhat eased the soaring prices.

But Julian took over a mess, the royal capital was full of corruption, most of the regent's cronies ate a lot of money, and there was a backlog of countless gold coins and grains in the homes of small and medium-sized nobles and officials at all levels, Julian did not rush to clean up the moths of these countries after controlling the royal capital, he could only try to compromise the forces of all parties and maintain the delicate balance of "unanimity with the outside world", but Mu Lan believed that after the barbarian problem was resolved, Julian's butcher's knife would be extended to these rich households, which was almost the standard behavior of every ruler.

However, it is still necessary to establish power, after all, the fist of Julian in the royal capital is the largest, and the soldiers arrested several core members of the regent's team on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and then went to the gallows and raided the house, and the gold coins found out opened the eyes of the soldiers, and countless Dius gold coins were piled up on the ground, not to mention those treasures and works of art, but during the war, it was still the hardest currency of food, and the granary that had just bottomed out after the raid was filled again.

Julian looked at the confiscated things sadly, the whole king had begun to starve to death, but the food of these families could be eaten until next year, he looked at the ministers who did not dare to speak with displeasure, and was already thinking about which big family to slaughter next time.

The transfer of power is not so simple, balancing the forces of all parties has made Julian busy, but he has grasped the point, the army is where his confidence lies, so the officers at all levels of the Praetorian Guard began to be replaced by him with cronies from Wiellenburg, Shi Zhengyang and Shen Wei trained the war supervisor at this time to play a role, new ideas will be fermented in the Praetorian Guard, a brand-new, disciplined, loyal Janissaries make Julian look forward to it.

And the public opinion began to spread intentionally or unintentionally after Julian entered the royal capital, and the hero from Wellenburg, the rightful heir of the kingdom, Julian had already reigned in the royal capital, and this news made everyone excited.

The people all knew that the war ahead was tight, the barbarians were about to sweep across the entire continent, death and plague everywhere they went, the gates of the royal capital were wide open, and displaced people from all directions poured into this thousand-year-old city, and the unfortunate news from afar was also circulating among the people, inadvertently exaggerating the barbarian horror of the barbarians, but saving some effort from the intelligence department to guide public opinion.

The regent's army was losing ground and the enemy's army was heading straight at the capital, and at such a critical juncture, a hero returned to the capital, and Julian's prestige can be imagined, and the people needed such a king so much.

So Julian's coronation ceremony is also in intense preparations, the Holy Light Church did not expect Julian to become the new king so soon, the patriarch had refused Julian's wooing before, for fear that he would be liquidated, so he could only do his best to prepare for this ceremony, wanting to leave a good memory for Julian.

Mu Lan was finally able to walk in the streets and alleys of the royal capital openly, and she had been busy with the intrigue of the dark blade before, and she didn't have time to enjoy the scenery of this thousand-year-old royal capital.

But after walking for a while, I found that there was nothing to appreciate, Julian "worked for relief", used food as wages, organized those potentially restless people to reconstruct the fortifications, the city walls were being reinforced, the city was also being reinforced, countless large siege machines were in full swing of construction, it seemed that Julian was learning quickly, and the city of Saint-Dentier was about to become a war machine like Willenburg.

The magic guild is still the same, but this time people in the rotunda began to greet her, it should be because she often haunts the magic master Hawkins, these people are more or less with the idea of climbing the relationship, Mu Lan is not disgusted, they are all politely smiling back.

Through the teleportation circle, she came to Hawkins's study, this old monster who didn't know how long he had been alive had been waiting for a long time, and Mu Lan had no time to greet him politely, so he went straight to the point.

"You'll leave here after the decisive battle with the barbarians." Hawkins said.

Mu Lan nodded, and he said again, "There is something I need your help with." Then he came up with a black stone and handed it to her.

It was a black object that resembled a disc, with strange glowing symbols engraved on it, which could be broken in half with a little force, and she thought she had accidentally broken it, and just then a system prompt appeared in her head.

[The communicator left over from ancient civilizations has the effect of positioning and communication. 】

Mu Lan looked at the two semi-discs in her hand in surprise, but she didn't expect that there was a big deal.

"This is something left over from an unknown civilization, and its origin can no longer be verified, but the miraculous thing is that it can still be used." Hawkins took half of the disc, "The Magic Guild was founded when this thing was founded, countless mages and scholars have tried to find out the origin of this thing, but there is no way to verify it, it does not need magic to drive, and these symbols are unheard of, and it is impossible to figure out how it works with known alchemy theories." ”

Hawkins lamented, "It's like a god-made thing, something that doesn't belong in our world." ”

Mu Lan looked at him suspiciously, still not knowing what he wanted to do.
