after waking up.

Chapter 39 Heavy Topics

After all, the popular science education on the train is temporary, and the in-depth understanding of a lot of knowledge also requires a special environment. The man named Owen can only do simple popular science. After arriving at the capital, there is a more systematic education waiting for Mu. orchid.

Of course, in addition to a preliminary understanding of some basic knowledge, Mulan also understands the status quo of the mysterious world to a certain extent, at least what he heard from Owen.

It can be said that all kinds of mysterious elements are on the increase in the whole world, and the influence of the world is also much greater than before, especially due to the outbreak of large-scale and strong negative situations such as wars. In the last war, Dill The main battlefield between the North and South Continents between the Jia Empire and the Basman United Kingdom even had some extremely bad and terrible influence, which was one of the direct factors that prompted the end of this war.

However, this kind of growth did not happen overnight. For a long time, there were very few existences who mastered mysterious power. Even important cities like Valentine have not yet directly set up corresponding institutions, even the sanctuary.

About three hours after the train set off, Owen got up and left. He has his own private box. Yes, this train box is only for Mulan and Dolly. Owen has a single room for his own rest. The reason is also very good. Simple, his presence will make everyone feel nervous, and there are only four beds in this box.

After answering some of Mulan's questions and saying that it was inconvenient to go into the rest of the matter, Owen went to his box, which was said to be a bit far from their box.

Train travel is not new to Mulan, but the one-day-long drive is a bit long. Mulan looked at the scenery along the way and quickly felt sleepy. He glanced at the opposite and still looked out the window with interest. Dolly and the two boys said hello and took off their jackets and lay down.

When Mulan woke up, it was already dark, and the lights were on in the car, but it was not dazzling. Mulan squinted and looked around, and he could see the boys and girls on the upper bunk lying on the bed, maybe. It was one of them who didn't dare to go up from his side, and Dolly still looked out the window with relish.

"Dolly, is it so pretty out there?"

Dolly turned her head to look at Mulan, and continued to look out the window without saying a word. In fact, Mulan was like this when she wanted to chat with Dolly before.

When Mulan felt bored, Dolly spoke up.

"A train is really a magical thing. It can run so fast for such a long time without getting tired. As long as you sit in the car and look out the window, you can see so many scenes on the earth. I never thought I could see so far."

"It seems that you rarely take trains."

Mulan sat up, moved his arms and started fiddling in the suitcase beside his feet.

"This is my first time on a train. I used to live very close to the sea, at most by boat."

Mulan had already raised his head, took out an oiled paper bag from the suitcase, and opened it, a faint crispy fragrance came out.

"Eat it, the family made it. I have attended the count's banquet, but the biscuits at their banquet are not comparable to this."

Speaking of which, Mulan was the first to pick up a biscuit and "click" and bite it down. Dolly watched Mulan eat several pieces in a row, and after hesitating, she reached out and took one.

"click~"

This little cookie is crunchy in the mouth, sweet and non-sticky.

"Really delicious."

"You're welcome, eat more, these are enough for the four of us to have a meal."

Dolly was really welcome. She ate several pieces in a row and looked out the window while chewing, but suddenly asked another question.

"I know the incident at the Earl's Manor, it was really dangerous, I believe you must be aware of this, but why did you do it to such an extent, even if people like them die, there will be people of the same kind soon Fill."

The biscuit on Mulan's mouth stopped.

"I can't tell, maybe it's my education that tells me not to stand by, maybe it's my judgment that the situation is not too bad to be out of control, or maybe it's that I want to express myself? Who knows, let me choose again, maybe it will be Just ran away."

Mulan put the biscuit in his mouth, only to find Dolly staring at him.

"Maybe you'd still choose that. Owen said you're a man of real courage, as evidenced by the fact that you're sitting here normally."

"Ok?"

Mulan frowned, and Dolly seemed to have something to say.

"Your good friend of the priest, his condition is not as good as yours. In fact, when he sent someone over from the church, he immediately protected him, and in the inner world, he faced things like ancient demons almost at zero distance. , without a strong will, it will greatly stimulate the spirit and even the body, madness and even alienation.”

"Is Ai Wen all right?"

"He has holy power anyway, and the church will do its best to heal him. The problem is definitely not too big, but you really don't have anything at all."

Mulan ate the biscuits and did not speak. What he was thinking about was not how strong his will was, but whether it had something to do with his special origin.

"As Owen said, the invasion of mysterious things is increasing. In the final analysis, it is because of greed. A new vortex has appeared in the border battlefield of Dirga and Basman. Although the scale is incomparable, the essence is the same as the one at sea. , both sides of the two countries seem to have used holy relics in the war, the souls of hundreds of thousands of soldiers have produced such a disaster"

Mulan was shocked. Owen only said that something terrible happened, but he didn't expect a new vortex to form. After reacting, the shock turned into anger, and Mulan's hand had already clenched his fist.

As a retired soldier, although Mulan was in the same brutal Western Front battlefield, he was equally indignant about it. He was not worried that Dolly would lie to him, because it was unnecessary, and the truth should not be difficult for him to obtain in the future.

Unfortunately, it can only be incompetent fury.

"Could the maelstrom at sea be caused by a similar accidental sacrifice?"

Mulan asked in a low voice, there is no doubt that the formation of the new vortex must be due to an accidental sacrifice. After all, Owen said that if those cultists and wicked people use sacred objects, the most common use is sacrifice.

"Who knows, that maelstrom has existed for a long time, have you seen the Kraken?"

"I have heard the song of the Kraken, but if I see it, I don't know if the one who was shot was considered a Kraken."

Dolly smiled and swallowed the biscuit she was chewing.

"That's not enough, the siren's singing voice is very beautiful and it has outstanding beauty, but the siren is extremely ferocious. They will cause shipwrecks and occasionally go ashore for food, but it is such a terrible existence, and there are humans who worship it. Even willing to sacrifice to increase the birth rate of sirens."

"There are many more people doing things like sacrifices for various purposes, and sometimes even if there is no such thing as a holy thing, it will have an impact."

Mulan naturally thought of a murderer who was obviously a wild way.

"Even with the suppression of the sanctuary, this dangerous situation still shows no signs of slowing down. I hope the major countries will really wake up after this time."

"Humanity is really complicated. Some people are hopeless, and some people are pure and kind, and they can create such a rich and splendid civilization today."

Saying that, Dolly took another biscuit and stuffed it into her mouth, and found Mulan looking straight at her.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Dolly, how old are you? How can you talk like an old man who sees through the world?"

Dolly covered her mouth, looked down at the biscuits, and suddenly said something out of anger.

"It's Do-Li, please remember me, Mr. Jonest!"

"Okay Dolly, I'll try my best."

There was a laugh-inducing voice from the upper bunk, and Mulan smiled and said hello.

"Come and eat. You haven't eaten since you got in the car. This biscuit is delicious."

The two teenagers didn't hesitate this time, they all got down from the bunks, picked up the biscuits and ate them, and couldn't hold back their mouths after eating.

But Mulan didn't eat any more, leaning against the wall of the bunk to look at the night scene outside the car window. Although it is not as brightly lit as many places in the [-]th century, if there are villages or towns inhabited in the distance, it is still easy to see in the night. of.

The topic is a bit heavy, but the sky is falling and there is a tall man supporting it.
