After waking up

Due to the difference in longitude, what Taylor saw was dusk when he woke up, but Mullan woke up from bed at almost the same time and saw that the sun had not completely set.

As the saying goes, a nine-story tower starts from tired soil, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Mulan knew that to change the world, he had to use any available power. If there was no suitable one, then cultivate it.

Of course it was impossible for Mulan to continue sleeping. He got up directly, sorted out his clothes, grabbed his cane and walked downstairs. He put on his coat and used his cane to hook up the hat on the top of the coat rack. He stretched out his hand to pinch it and buckle it on his head. , then held the brim of his hat with his fingers, and then opened the door.

With a confident smile, Mulan went out again before dusk.

The market street outside the gate of the Black Castle is the busiest time at this moment. Many people after get off work will come to browse the market at this time. Many people who don’t want to buy anything will also come to hang out. Even in some corners of the market, some The prostitutes are already standing in the right position, ready to attract customers.

Mulan held the newspaper with both hands and his cane under his left arm. While reading the interesting content in the newspaper, he paid attention to the surroundings with his peripheral vision.

Unlike when Mulan first came here, the students in Black Castle have been studying intensely. Coupled with the strict management measures, they rarely go out or do things that can help in various places in Black Castle. In order to earn points from various professors and even the senior management of the service department.

These points are not easy to earn, but the points earned can be used to exchange for materials to configure potions, as well as various useful and useless things, such as amulets.

In the words of the professors, students at this stage have generally begun to come into contact with more and more mysterious knowledge, and they have inevitably begun to develop their own perceptions and spirits, and to a certain extent, try to understand the other world.

This can be said to be a dangerous period for a fragile student, and not everyone is as perverted as Mulan.

The amulet is a protective measure, which to a large extent prevents students from getting close to evil spirits and monsters in the other world.

Old students have an advantage in earning points, and the better their grades, the more so. This is because professors like smart students to help. For example, old wizards like to have top students as assistants. You don’t need to have any skills. What kind of magic power does it have, but it has excellent understanding ability, can recognize a lot of materials, and understand the dangers and categories involved, so it is easy to use.

This also brings the Black Castle closer and closer to a school.

Now Mulan can already see some old students who have changed their amulets leaving the school.

Mulan was very satisfied with the students' energy, but he had no intention of coming forward to say hello. He quickly left the market area and took a carriage to a restaurant. After a simple order and meal, it was already dark outside when he left the restaurant. .

Mullan took the barbecue wrapped in oil paper in his hand and left in the dusk. After walking around for about half an hour, he stopped at Moore's current residence.

"Ding dong, ding dong~" "Dong dong dong dong dong"

The doorbell rang twice, followed by five quick knocks, and not long after, Moore inside opened the door.

"Mr. X, please come in quickly!"

Mulan walked into the house, put the hat on the coat rack, and handed the gift that was still warm and fragrant to Moore.

"Mr. Moore, you must be so busy that you forgot to eat. This is the barbecue from Time Restaurant. You can eat it with bread."

"Thank you very much, I happen to be very hungry!"

Moore regarded Mulan as a true confidant, and he was not polite in front of Mulan. He took the oil paper bag, opened it directly, grabbed a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth, making a satisfied chewing sound.

Without saying any unnecessary words, the two of them went upstairs together and entered Moore's study, where two chairs were placed in front of the desk.

Moore couldn't wait to show Mullan his new results and explain his new words and feelings to him.

Mulan sat aside and listened quietly, calmly watching Moore's excitement. After the latter explained the new content, he couldn't help but frown when he saw Mulan's reaction was so dull.

"Mr. X, do you feel bad?"

Mulan shook his head.

"On the contrary, your writing is excellent, informative and thought-provoking."

"Then you have something to add? Did you find a problem in the text?"

Mulan shook his head again. He looked at the manuscript papers in the study and the trash can filled with waste paper. Then he slowly stood up and walked to the window. Moore subconsciously stood up too and followed Mulan to the bed.

"Mr. Moore, the sun has set outside the window and it is getting dark."

As if he heard the voice of Mulan's words, Moore also spoke.

"But the sun will still rise tomorrow morning."

Mulan smiled.

"Yes, the sun will rise eventually, but the cold night is also very long, so long that many people can't wait for the sun to rise again."

"Mr. X, what exactly do you want to say?"

Mullan turned to look at Moore.

"Mr. Moore, your words are very good and very powerful, but the power of words alone is not enough!"

Moore frowned.

"The last workers' protest failed, and many workers' friends disappeared. I'm afraid they are in danger."

"So just staying at the level of protest is not enough, far from enough!"

Mullan looked at Moore seriously.

"Although most countries have already abolished slavery, in the eyes of the nobles and capital, workers are like their slaves. Slave owners will not pay attention to the slaves' protests. If they make a big fuss, they may be given certain treatment. Promotion, but a slave is still a slave after all, living a hard life and having a despicable fate.”

"There is a powerful force in your words. This force has not been drawn out yet, but I see its potential. Workers need it, poor people need it, and the oppressed and suffering people in the world need it!"

Moore looked at Mulan and replied subconsciously.

"My book will guide them to resist, and join forces with the wise people in society to protest in an orderly manner, so that the leaders can hear the cry from the bottom!"

"not enough!"

Mullan interrupted Moore directly.

"You realize the limitations of ordinary protests, see clearly the cruel nature of society, and try to awaken the resistance ideas at the bottom and awaken the conscience of the public and even the aristocrats, so as to force capital to make concessions and those in power to make changes, through social ideological changes To achieve the goal of improving society, this method will not succeed. It is just a 'worker protest' that is larger in scale but has no substantive effect!"

"Then the words I wrote have no meaning?"

Moore clenched his fists. He was even a little angry at the moment, but he understood that Mr.

Sure enough, Mullan changed the subject next.

"This 'protest' is not meaningless. It is the soil of a seed. The vegetation grows and bears fruit, giving birth to countless seeds again! It is the hope of new ideas, but Mr. Moore, you have to realize that no change is It can be done without bloodshed! If the revolutionaries need bloodshed, the reactionaries also need it.”

While Moore was stunned, Mulan took out the newspaper hidden in his arms and handed it to Moore.

These two newspapers are not from today, they were from about a month ago, and they are not from Degao. One is from the city of Doriel and the other is from the province of Bachwililand.

There were several reports in the previous issue about a failed protest in which Moore's book was in the hands of protesters, and the outcome was even worse than that of Dego.

The latter is that the use of large-scale machinery has liberated productivity, and more and more workers have been laid off as a result. Without any compensation measures, countless people's lives are not guaranteed and their lives are very miserable.

After a long time, Moore raised his head, and seemed to understand the true meaning of Mulan's words, and the expression on his face became extremely serious.

"Mr. X, do you think the protest should escalate into an uprising?"

Mulan turned around again, his expression also very serious.

"You said that the mistakes of human civilization will always be corrected when they reach a certain stage."

"But it doesn't necessarily need to be corrected by means of destruction. Using violence to destroy first, and then forcibly changing the social status quo, can it really succeed? Is it meaningful if everything is reduced to ruins?"

"Maybe, maybe it is possible, but Mr. Moore, the conscience and compassion of the powerful are very cheap! What's more, they still have more powerful power that they have not yet shown. It's not that they can't hear the cry from the bottom, but they can't hear it. Willing to listen!”

Mullan walked to the table, picked up the pen, wrote a title, then raised his head and looked at Moore standing by the window.

"Mr. Moore, you don't need to make a choice, because someone will make the choice for you, those who have to rise up and resist will make the choice, and your books and ideas, your experience and wisdom, are their weapons! Even justice in ruins is justice!”
