The next day.

Chen Mu first went to the dragnet.

The supreme leader of the dragnet is Zhao Gao, the head of the eunuchs. Apart from the emperor and Zhao Gao, the only ones who can mobilize the dragnet to investigate intelligence are Si Tiantai's magicians.

The scouts of the Dragnet are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang and Huang. In addition to spying on intelligence, they are also responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, as well as conducting assassinations and assassinations.

Chen Mu's status as Si Li can only be mobilized at the Xuan and Huang levels without higher-level instructions.

But this is enough.

Because the information he needs to collect is not of a very important type. Although he has a background as a son of an official, his status is very low and he is an insignificant person.

As for the fact that as the new Secretary Li of Si Tiantai, he mobilized a dragnet to obtain information, this matter would probably be reported to all levels, and it might attract Zhao Gao's attention, but it would not matter to Chen Mu.

Just as Chen Mu expected.

After he mobilized the authority of the dragnet to obtain information, the news reached Zhao Gao's ears in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Investigating Lu Xin? Is that the new Secretary Li of Si Tiantai?"

Deep in a quiet palace, Zhao Gao was sitting on a grand master's chair, holding a tea cup, listening to the report of his subordinate next to him, and paused for a moment.

Being able to achieve the position of the head of the eunuchs and the supreme leader of the dragnet, Zhao Gao is naturally not an ordinary person. He clearly remembers every item in all the files he has read, no matter how big or small the matter is.

It can be said that there is no case in the entire imperial court that he is not aware of in recent decades.

This also includes Lu Xin’s case.

Lu Xin was the son of an official, and his father was a fourth-rank minister in the imperial court. Because he provoked the eldest son of Anguo Mansion, he was found guilty and thrown into prison. He was imprisoned for six years. His father was unable to rescue him in the end.

Finally, he was imprisoned alive in prison.

When he thought of this, Zhao Gao suddenly smiled lightly.

"So impatient."

The matter is very clear. Xuanguo Mansion and Anguo Mansion have been competing with each other in recent years. Now that Chen Mu, a fifth-level magician, has emerged, it is natural that Anguo Mansion must be suppressed.

Investigating Lu Xin's matter may be the beginning.

However, Zhao Gao was not interested in the conflict between the two princes' mansions, and the same was true for Chen Mu. Although the fifth-level magician had a very high status, for him, it was still just a small fight.

You have to be at least a fourth-grade magician to be qualified to enter his sight. Only a third-grade magician can make him really look at him seriously. The fifth-grade magician is still far behind.

Just like a warrior, there is a huge difference in status between the fourth and third and second grades.

"Let him be."

Zhao Gao took a sip of tea carelessly.

The subordinate next to him bowed his head in response and immediately disappeared into the darkness.

…

Chen Mu didn't care about the attention that investigating Lu Xin's affairs would attract. After leaving the dragnet, he came to the magnificent palace located on the easternmost side of the imperial city.

This is the royal library, which contains books from all over the world.

The palace has a total of three areas, inside and outside, and each area has different permissions. As Si Tiantai's secretary, Chen Mu directly has the highest level of permissions and can access any book.

The library is brightly lit, very clean and tidy, and there are attendants standing at intervals.

The entire library was also quiet, with only the occasional sound of footsteps.

When Chen Mu passed by the outer area, there were scattered young people reading quietly and looking at their clothes. They were basically the prince's companions.

Some people were immersed in the book, while others noticed Chen Mu coming in. Seeing that Chen Mu was young and unfamiliar, they couldn't help but pay more attention, and then saw Chen Mu walking straight into the innermost part of the library.

And no one stopped me along the way.

"Who is this?"

He showed a little doubt.

Not all princes have such permission to directly enter the innermost layer of the library, and Chen Mu's face is unfamiliar, and he is not one of the princes.

"It should be the Immortal Master of Si Tiantai. He has a token hanging on his waist."

The companion next to him lowered his voice.

The man was startled for a moment, then thought of something and said, "Yes, I heard that Duke Xuan later became a magician. That should be him."

As he spoke, he showed a little envy.

These prince companions are all princes and ministers, and each of them has a background, but no matter what the background is, it can't compare to the magician's rise to the sky in one step.

If he could become a fifth-level magician and Si Tiantai Sili, there would be no need to be the prince's companion. Those princes and princesses would even have to respect him as their teacher.

Say it.

He didn't dare to comment, so he lowered his head and continued reading.

Chen Mu, who walked to the innermost part of the library, quickly found the books he needed, a thick history book and a geographical catalog of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Chen Mu first opened the history books, which recorded many major events that had occurred since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, including various natural disasters, demon chaos, and the Night Walk of Hundreds of Ghosts, etc.

Chen Mu also saw some such records in Xuanguo Mansion, but they were far less comprehensive than the records in this history book. They were almost detailed and all major events were recorded, including some extremely bad ones.

These contents are blocked by Dayuan.

After all, it is the innermost book in the library. In theory, it is considered a banned book and cannot be accessed by ordinary people.

"The world is indeed full of dangers."

Chen Mu muttered when he saw the demon chaos and the night march of hundreds of ghosts recorded in the book.

It is recorded in it,

There were two Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts in the Great Yuan Dynasty.

At first, the yin energy became heavier and heavier, and the earth's veins gradually became disordered. Finally, the Tengu eclipsed the sun, yin and yang were reversed, countless ghosts roamed the world, and the entire world turned into a ghostland.

Although it did not last long, lasting only one day and night at most, nearly four million people died from the dead ghosts even in a place like Kyoto.

There are countless other places.

Compared to the Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night, the disasters caused by monsters causing chaos on the earth are more serious. Monsters that usually hide in remote mountains that are inaccessible to people will appear frequently and even cause chaos in groups.

At its most serious, the demonic energy soared into the sky, covering the clouds and the sun. Thousands of demons encircled countless ferocious beasts, crashing into the city like a torrent.

Fortunately, since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, monster chaos has only occurred three times in the land, and each time there were martial saints alive and second-level magicians to suppress the national destiny. Although there were serious casualties, they were eventually put down.

Among the hereditary princes of the Great Yuan Dynasty today, some of them have achieved meritorious service in the previous demonic chaos and have received the title of reward.

do not know why.

When Chen Mu saw the part about the land in chaos and the night march of hundreds of ghosts, he had a dark hunch that these natural disasters were probably about to happen again.

It's not a case of paranoia about being persecuted, but it's that Dayuan has been peaceful for nearly two hundred years. According to the frequency recorded in history books, natural disasters are about to occur again.

It's just that there are no martial saints alive in Dayuan today, and there are no second-grade magicians. If there really is a monster chaos on the earth or a hundred ghosts walking at night, the situation will definitely be quite dangerous.

Even the Kyoto of the Great Yuan Dynasty may not be able to resist it.

What's more, there is a cult secretly making trouble, and they might take the opportunity to cause trouble, which will probably cause chaos in the world. He is only at the fourth level now, and he is not able to protect himself in such a natural disaster.

But Chen Mu was not too panicked, because whether it was a monster chaos on the earth or a hundred ghosts walking at night, signs of such a natural disaster would start to appear at least a month in advance.

And now he has heard nothing.

As long as it doesn't happen in the near future, it's a good thing.

As long as there is enough time, he can rely on the blessing of the system to quickly upgrade his magician level. When he reaches the third level, he can at least defend a small area of ​​​​the territory from natural disasters.

"Third grade..."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly, calmed down his chaotic thoughts, and continued to look at the history book in his hand.

There are many secrets recorded in the thick history books.

The biggest disaster recorded among them is not the demon chaos on the earth and the night march of hundreds of ghosts, but the "magic chaos" that occurred more than 900 years ago. The source of this magic chaos is a first-level magician!

"Sure enough, there is a level 1 magician."

Chen Mu whispered.

Before, he could not find any records about first-level magicians in any classics, but logically speaking, it is impossible to leave a level vacant. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. First-level magicians do exist, but the information about first-level magicians has been largely ignored.

The Yuan court blocked it.

If he hadn't come to the innermost part of the library and seen this history book that was almost considered a 'forbidden book', he probably still wouldn't have been able to find any clues about the first-grade magicians.

Recorded in history books.

It was the only first-level magician who had ever been born. How exactly he appeared is completely unknown, but according to records, this first-level magician initially appeared fashionable and okay, but as time went by, he gradually began to become delirious.

state of frenzy.

A first-level sorcerer is so terrifying. He has the power to move mountains and fill seas with his movements. When he was crazy, he once changed the course of a river and flooded countless cities. This was just one of the many disasters it caused.

At its most serious, it can be said that mountains and rivers are shattered.

This disaster lasted for three years, and finally ended with the sudden disappearance of the first-level magician. No one knew his whereabouts, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
