Since its development, the Dawn Association has gradually formed a set of magical knowledge system of its own, including but not limited to magic pattern techniques, secret realms and various magic forgings. Some of them are very rich, while others are still being improved. But no matter what the degree, all aspects are extremely comprehensive, and combined with various modern knowledge on Earth, it can be said to be an extremely exaggerated knowledge base.

In this increasingly large knowledge base, there are also increasingly large numbers of talented people operating in it, and Qin Xiaoxia is one of them.

Unlike the distant ancient times, the world today has too many knowledgeable and intelligent people, and the overall evolution of the world has resulted in more and more outstanding talents. In addition to entering the government agencies of various countries, a very small number of them have been absorbed into the Dawn Association under strict screening conditions.

Not long after the two ancient species, Demon Eye and Gillian, and many secret realm masters returned with victory, research on the changes of the secret realm's shadow had begun. In other words, the research on the secret realm's shadow has never been interrupted, but there is only one more direction for conception.

Just as the Dawn Association's secret realm knowledge has long formed its own system, in addition to the secret realm knowledge obtained from other worlds, the secret realms now widely used by Dawn members and the secret realm shadow guards of major secret branches are mostly unique secret realm shadows formed by Dawn itself after combining the spiritual power system and improved techniques.

Secret realm guards such as the Shadow of Death, the Shadow of the Heroic Spirit, the Shadow of the Giant God, etc. are impossible to see in other worlds, not to mention the formation and perfection of such mobile secret realms.

Some time after the battle, magic pattern reports written at different stages were continuously sent to the Qingzhen Secret House, to the office of Lord Sage of Dawn.

Qin Xiaoxia sat at the table and kept reading these reports. They piled up into a small mountain in the corner of the table, and the one spread out on his table was just one of them.

"Cousin!"

“Boom boom boom…”

Doudou called over excitedly, knocked on the door a few times and then pushed it open. Qin Xiaoxia ignored him and still focused on the files on the table.

Doudou held a plate in his hand, closed the door again, and then ran to the table excitedly. In the entire Dawn Association, there were few people like Doudou who dared to enter and leave the Sage's office freely without any psychological burden. He held the plate in his hand and stood on tiptoe to look at the scroll on his cousin's desk. The densely packed magic patterns made him dizzy.

"What is it?"

Qin Xiaoxia glanced at Doudou, who immediately smiled and lifted up a plate from behind. On top of the plate was a silver round lid that was still steaming.

Qin Xiaoxia's eyebrows jumped. Dark cuisine?

"Doudou, I'm not hungry."

"Cousin, you have to believe me. This is definitely not some weird dish! Su Su taught me how to make it. It's definitely delicious. At least, it's definitely edible!"

Doudou has said similar things many times. Qin Xiaoxia's mouth twitched. Even if it was to comfort Doudou, he didn't plan to try it this time.

"Really, cousin, I brought it here after Su Su had seen it! Look!"

Doudou opened the lid, and Qin Xiaoxia narrowed his eyes subconsciously, but he did not see the horrible black unknown substance, but five eggs and two small white plates with salt and sugar in the plates.

"How about boiling an egg, dipping it in sugar and salt?"

"Okay, you finally don't pursue those 'high-end dishes' anymore..."

It was rare to see something edible on Doudou's plate, so Qin Xiaoxia was not too ruthless. He picked up an egg, boiled it, dipped it in some sugar and salt, took a tentative bite, and after making sure that it was just an ordinary egg yolk, he put the whole thing into his mouth.

Seeing that his cousin was actually eating what he had made, Doudou felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart, and he went to the table again and stood on tiptoe to look at the files.

"The spiritual arts and the secret arts are woven together, combined with the changes in the properties of magic power, so that the shadow of the secret realm is activated... The influence of the compatibility ratio of spiritual power and magic power on this... The common connection with the seventh law..."

Qin Xiaoxia swallowed the egg in his mouth and looked at Doudou with an expression as if he was looking at a weak chicken.

"Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand!"

Doudou straightened his chest, met his cousin's gaze, and immediately lost his momentum, muttering something to add.

"I know all the words..."

"Learn more knowledge, especially the knowledge of our Shuguang. I will let Su Su and Red Demon teach you more. These reports are very important. I have some ideas that are also very important to you."

Doudou suddenly felt overwhelmed. It was too much to ask him to study.

"Cousin..."

Qin Xiaoxia immediately showed a sinister smile on his face.

"If you dare to say no, I will replace the teacher with Baru."

"Hiss... so inhumane?"

Bang!

Doudou got a slap on the head.

"It's for your own good."

It seems that there is no way to avoid it this time. Doudou held his head and felt sad. He left the office with a sad face. However, this guy's troubles came and went quickly, and he forgot about them not long after he left the office.

Su Su was still waiting for Dou Dou downstairs. When he came back, she looked at him expectantly.

"How about it?"

"Hahahaha, how could my Doudou's cooking skills fail? Even my eldest cousin praised my cooking for being delicious!"

As he spoke, Doudou and Su Su high-fived each other.

Su Su was also happy for Doudou, but suddenly she saw Qin Xiaoxia coming down and immediately stopped talking.

"Are you there?"

"Yes mentor!"

"Well, let's go to the File Management Office together."

"Good mentor!"

Su Su's face was full of smiles, and after Qin Xiaoxia walked away, she hurriedly jogged to catch up. A moment later, after passing through the secret realm magic formation, the two of them arrived at the File Management Office, which had a strong academic atmosphere.

It's just that the fact that these two very important figures were wearing hooded hoodies did not attract any special attention. Of course, this is relative. In Dawn, many people who wear such clothes so that their true faces cannot be seen are not simple, so some members would subconsciously take a second look at the two of them, wondering if they are the two magic controllers.

The management office was relatively quiet, but there were quite a few people. Qin Xiaoxia and Su Su did not go to the data room, but went directly into the hall of the management office and walked through the central corridor to a deeper place, which was a secret place within a secret place, and was a private inner hall.

There was a table on one side, and a man who was writing furiously at the back stood up immediately when he saw someone approaching.

"You can't approach here casually, please... Sage!?"

Halfway through his words, the manager saw Qin Xiaoxia's face under the hood of his cloak and immediately saluted with a heart-to-heart salute.

Qin Xiaoxia and Su Su also returned the gift.

"No need to call anyone else, I can go in by myself."

"Your will is obeyed!"

Qin Xiaoxia nodded, and walked towards the automatically opened door with Su Su. Then the door slowly closed again. Inside was a relatively empty hall. There was a lot of wandering gray energy surrounding it, which was similar to magic but not quite. It was like gusts of cold wind with mist flowing.

"The guards showed up."

Qin Xiaoxia said softly, and the next moment, pieces of gray-black mist emerged and quickly turned into a being wearing a tattered gray-black cloak, his face shrouded in the shadow of the cloak hood, his skinny arms had sharp black nails, his legs were not visible at the bottom, only the half-rag cloak and black smoke dragged on the ground.

A terrifying long-handled sickle that was taller than the body and gleaming with cold light was leaning to one side.

This is exactly the "Shadow of Death", also widely called the "Shadow of the God of Death". In essence, although the Shadows of Death of the Dawn Association exist independently, they all have certain commonalities. This one is the most powerful one among them. The last time it hunted the ancient species, it borrowed the power of all the Shadows of Death in various parts of the Dawn.

Facing Qin Xiaoxia, the Shadow of Death did not remain indifferent as he did towards the others, but lowered his head slightly.

"Su Su, what do you think?"

"It seems that the sense of substance is stronger than before."

"Well, almost. According to current research, the Shadow of Death is more special than the other Shadows of the Secret Realm that participated in the last battle. Perhaps it is because it is related to death. Or, in our hearts, it is related to death."

Qin Xiaoxia looked at the sickle in the hands of the Shadow of Death, which represented the harvesting of souls.

This can be said to be the activation of a law. What law? Naturally, it is the spiritual part of the seventh law. This is not Qin Xiaoxia's own flattery. He really recognizes the so-called "seventh law", the law brought by Dawn and this world.
