after waking up.

Chapter 41 Black Castle
The time spent in the palace was not long. After the brief canonization ended, Mulan was taken away from the palace. Of course, Lunguang was also returned to Mulan.

On the way out of the palace by the courtiers, Mulan was still thinking about whether the canonization was a little easier, but then he thought, it was just a knighthood title, no official, no position, no power and no power, so the queen should not have to specialize. Calling many witnesses for a grand reward?

"Your Majesty Jones, when you know that you are the descendant of those thirteen great families, Her Majesty the Queen highly values ​​you, and you will definitely have a prosperous military luck!"

"thank you for your blessing!"

Mulan thanked the waiter and said goodbye. He had seen the carriage when he came, and Owen and the others were still waiting outside.

Inside the palace, Nishiriel was still sitting in the hall where Mulan was received, as if thinking about what happened just now.

"What do you think of Lord Jones?"

"It looks like a very energetic young man, but the times are different now, and there are too many new things impacting, even if it is one of the thirteen swords of the empire, it may not strictly abide by the family creed, Her Majesty, You don't really need to give him such a high honor."

One of the assistant ministers said this with deliberation, and the queen looked at the other assistant minister who had been silent.

The male assistant minister has half bangs longer than the female, not only has incredible strength, but also has good swordsmanship.

"His eyes."

The assistant minister looked at Nishiriel.

"In his eyes, there is respect for you, Your Majesty, and he is touched by the honor you bestowed upon him. As far as his deeds are concerned, His Excellency believes that he is very responsible, but in the face of His Majesty today, what he shows is only these. already."

"You mean he wasn't faithful?"

Another assistant minister asked this directly, while Nishiriel was silent and did not speak.

"No, it can't be said that, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor. Your Excellency Jones is undoubtedly outstanding, and he can't be a despicable person. Although the eyes he looks at His Majesty are short-lived, they are not the worshipful eyes of the humble looking up to the honorable, but It's more of a calm scrutiny that doesn't take offense."

If Mulan knew that someone was talking about him, he would be shocked. Can you see that?

Nishiriel finally spoke up.

"Perhaps Lord Jones wanted to know whether I, who took over the throne, was a little girl crying and hurriedly ascending the throne, or whether I had the courage and perseverance to become a real king."

"Time will tell, Her Majesty."

However, Mulan did not think so deeply as those in the palace. After leaving the palace, he relaxed a lot. Looking at Mulan with a relaxed expression, Owen asked with a smile.

"Her Majesty is very moving, isn't it?"

Mulan smiled and did not answer, while Owen continued to look at the palace, which was getting farther and farther out of the carriage window.

"Don't underestimate our new majesty, compared to the old King Charles, His Majesty Nishiriel is by no means very personable, otherwise the successor will be several other princes. From this point of view, before the old king died, Not too stupid."

"Hey, Your Excellency Owen, is this a big treason?"

Dolly interjected and asked, and Owen quickly shook his head in apology.

"Sorry, I said something that shouldn't be said, I just feel relieved for you."

"Come on to our real destination."

Mulan also said with a smile, leaning on the side of the car window to look at the various buildings in the Imperial City. Although Valentine is also an important city in the Empire, the richness and scale of its buildings cannot be compared with the Imperial City. Just some landmarks The height of the sex building will be much higher.

A faint roar was gradually approaching, and soon a white-breathing machine appeared in Mulan's sight.

The structure is square and square, like a horse carriage with an elongated body and some width, but with multiple pairs of wheels, and a chimney above the head is steaming white.

"beep--"

The whistle sounded, and the steam-structured vehicle entered another entrance. From its appearance to the departure, its speed was not fast, but it gave Mulan a great shock. The same shock as Mulan was Doli and Mulan. two teenagers.

"This is an urban steam locomotive, which will park and carry passengers in a fixed area, so that people can go where they want to go."

"It doesn't have a track!"

"There are tracks, just buried in the road, you don't see it."

There are steam rail buses, and Mulan can only say that it is worthy of being an imperial capital, but he has seen Bach's steam tank, which is undoubtedly more shocking than this.

After driving through a small half of Digao City, the carriage finally stopped outside a Gothic-style building complex. Compared with the entire Digao City, it looked a bit deserted and even a little gloomy. Owen was the first to get off the carriage. , introduced with a hearty smile.

"Welcome to Castle Black, the Imperial Court Ministry of Magic."

As if responding to the welcome language in Owen's mouth, countless sounds of flapping wings sounded from the Gothic building complex, accompanied by waves of strange screams.

"Ah~ah~ah~"

That was a lot of crows flying, some flying to various parts of the city, some hovering in the air, and some falling in the building.

Mulan looked back and saw that the carriage driver kept running away after they got out of the car. It was understandable that even the two teenagers couldn't help shrinking behind Dolly and Mulan.

"Interlude, we like small animals, so crows like it here too."

Owen smiled and walked forward with the people. The surroundings were deadly silent, as if there were only five of them in the entire huge building complex, but the closer to the nearest building, the more Mulan felt being watched.

Gradually, Mulan discovered that there are some things in the shadowy corners of many buildings, some are complete people, some have tails and minions, most of them look strange and pale, some are standing still, some are constantly moving. wandering.

Mulan looked up at the sky with some hindsight. The rest of the imperial capital Digao was relatively sunny, but a large area around it was covered with clouds.

"Don't be afraid, they are all small toys of Lord Walton. Usually, they are just to prevent people from entering here by mistake. They are only allowed to scare people."

"But their malice is real!"

Owen nodded to Dolly.

"Very keen, Miss Dolly, but it means nothing to them."

Fortunately, after stepping into the foyer of the outermost building, the interior seemed a lot more normal. Of course, Mulan seriously suspected that it was the comparison between the inside and outside, but at least I saw a few people sporadically, and they all looked good.

The scope of Castle Black is not small. In addition to the large buildings, there are many small buildings inside, but the density of human settlements is not large, and there are many empty rooms. Owen's explanation, in addition to the previous set, also said that everyone is very busy, and some Are performing work tasks everywhere, and some are busy learning to improve themselves.

Of course, newcomers like Mulan will definitely have some teaching, but don't expect any school here, because everyone is just a colleague, public information can be pointed out, and private information may not be shared.

Both Mulan and Dolly have received high-standard treatment, and can each choose a building to have permanent ownership, and Guy and Jenny also have the right to use a small building alone.

In addition to all the facilities in the small building, gas lamps and various equipment are not lacking, there are canteens and even public baths in Castle Black.

Not far behind the Castle Black area, there is a market in the city, but this market not only sells some melons, fruits and vegetables, pots and pans, but also some special stores and stalls selling some special items.

Moreover, Castle Black also has a place dedicated to handling various government official duties. In theory, everyone has a workstation.

After gaining such a deeper understanding, Mulan's impression of Castle Black was much better, and finally he didn't feel that he might have entered some evil witch's lair.
