From Prisoner to Si Chen

The capital of the empire, Museciti.

Central District.

70th floor of Triumph Building.

Investigative Committee Hall.

Gilan was wearing a black hat and black trench coat, with a white rose ornament on her chest, and was sitting in the first row of the hall.

Sitting next to him were Maiev, Renault, Mgul, Garnod, Kaya and others who were also wearing gravedigger uniforms.

On the stage in front, Ms. Teresa was explaining to everyone the information and precautions for this grave excavation mission.

"The location of this mission is in Bosvia in the north."

Ms. Teresa drew a circle on the map with a black marker. The location was probably in a Yanbian city north of the capital, about 4,000 kilometers away.

Continuing further north on the map, there is a continuous ridge called the "Russell Mountains", also known as the "Continental Collarbone", where the White Tail River and the Sicily River originate.

At the other end of the Russell Mountains is a deserted area, with only a few small and barren countries living a closed but peaceful life.

The geographical location of Bosvia is quite special. It is located in the south of the Russell Mountains. The Stuttgart Empire is separated from the Stuttgart Empire by the tributary of the White Tail River, the Tejian River, on the east and west sides, and the Stuttgart Empire by the Nvsi River, a tributary of the Sicily River. Owena Commonwealth.

It can be said that Bosiva is a small city caught between the eastern and western hegemons. At the same time, it is also a prosperous town with developed trade and coexisting beliefs.

"According to the committee's information, a 'Level 1 Nightmare Monument' has appeared in Bosivia recently, and it is urgent for us to deal with it... But because of the special characteristics of Bosivia, it is best for us to keep a low profile and not cause too much trouble. movement."

Ms. Teresa said solemnly.

Everyone nodded, understanding what the lady meant.

Although Bosvia is an imperial territory, it is actually a highly autonomous colony and the empire's window to the outside world.

Also because it changed hands several times in history, it has important symbolic significance to the empire——

It is both an honor and a shame for the Bremen Empire.

Although the local officials obeyed the instructions of the empire, they were not ruled by the Hiru people, but by a new mixed-race ethnic group called the Himedis.

There are also many foreigners trading and settling in Bosvia, with mixed beliefs and complicated situations.

In order to pay attention to the image of the empire, their trip was focused on tasks and tried to avoid unnecessary involvement.

rustle……

Ms. Teresa wrote several important pieces of information with asterisks on the whiteboard in neat and beautiful handwriting.

"In addition, Chairman Parra issued a warning."

After the lady finished writing, she tapped the whiteboard with her knuckles and turned around and said:

"The Owena Federation has been making frequent moves recently, and is interested in Bosivia. It is not yet clear how many federal spies there are there, but there must be a lot of them... They have also colluded with the old god's secret sect 'The Cult of Heaven's Evil' , so we have to be vigilant about this.”

"Yes, Ms. Teresa."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The elegant lady with gray hair and a high-collar windbreaker smiled, put the lid of the marker pen into her outer pocket, and said:

"There are still some detailed matters, we will discuss them on the plane... Everyone is ready now, check the weapons, equipment and ammunition that are traveling with you, and replenish them at the Armed Forces Department in time."

"Meet downstairs in one hour."

"yes!"

Everyone stood up together.

…

…

After one hour.

Gilan followed the second group of gravediggers to the tarmac behind the Triumph Building and boarded the familiar X-1 biplane transport plane.

He just went to the Armed Forces Department and received some free ammunition. Taking advantage of the situation, I also exchanged my merits for 5 mercury batteries and replenished some alchemical explosives and alchemical potions.

Of the original 360 merit points, there are still 220 points left.

As usual, the pilot assigned by the committee conveyed the take-off signal to the cabin through the intercom and received the permission from the person in charge, Theresa Corou.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

The huge propeller blades rotated at high speed, and the powerful power of the military-grade S-2 whale oil battery drove the transport plane forward, and immediately took off into the sky...

This journey still takes most of a day.

at dusk.

Through the port window of the transport plane, Guillen saw the bird's eye view of Bosiva from high altitude.

The rays of the setting sun dye the clouds and turn the earth into a golden color. The ridge in the distance is extremely tall and wide, like an invisible "sky screen". Two meandering rivers descend from the middle of the ridge and branch out in the plains, just like an "upside down tree".

And in the center of this "tree branch", there are city clusters scattered all over, which is the destination of everyone's trip——

Bosvia.

Jilan was high in the sky, and a strange thought came to his mind... If he fell from such a height, would he die?

He thought about it, but in the end he was frustrated to find that he could not find any reason to survive.

‘If one day I can fall to the ground from such a height without dying, then I must have enough strength to protect myself in this world, right? ’

Ji Lan secretly guessed.

Judging from his current understanding of mysticism, even a fourth-level or even fifth-level Kusei would have no chance of surviving if he fell from such a height...

Perhaps only the limit of the world, level 6, can achieve this.

Suddenly, Ji Lan looked startled.

With his strong eyesight, he observed that southern Bosvia was a forest with a long-abandoned railway.

The railway passes through the forest, and then along the right branch of the Sicily River, the "Nuji River", directly reaches the southern part of Bosvia.

In the dense forests adjacent to the southern area, you can vaguely see scattered ruins similar to villages.

This picture instantly stunned Jilan.

It reminded him of a place...

Peel City!

The war-torn city in the real film "Human Will" was the place where the "torrent" of January Sichen ascended!

It's the same railway that passes through the forest, the same village outside the city, the same "coast"... It's just that in the real film at that time, Gilan probably mistook the broad "Nvsi River" for the ocean.

‘It’s so similar! ’

Ji Lan stared at the scenery outside the window and thought to himself.

He retracted his gaze and turned to look at Maiev, who was sitting next to him.

The woman with long black hair was also looking out the window, but her expression was extremely complicated, with deep memories and pain in her eyes.

"Miss Maiev, was this where Chairman Pala rescued you from the 'God's Chosen Tower' and brought you back to the capital?"

Jilan asked in a deep voice.

Hearing the sound, Maiev glanced at him and was surprised at first. He fell into a brief silence and nodded.

"Yeah." She took a deep breath. "I still remember that killing game more than ten years ago."

After hearing Maiev's words, Gilan confirmed his suspicion.

‘It turns out that... the city of Pill in the Munich Empire is Bosvia in the Bremen Empire. ’

Ji Lan couldn't help but sigh.

He looked at the city complex of Bosvia, but found no trace of the spiral tower.

Maiev seemed to see his doubts, so she explained in a low voice:

"At the beginning, shortly after the killing game ended, the 'Tower of God's Choice' suddenly disappeared overnight."

"disappear suddenly……"

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

For such a bizarre thing, he could only think of someone in authority to take action.

After all, the "Tower of God's Choice" was the creation of Anthony Rotti, the Apostle of June, the 'Mason'. He had every reason to take back this masterpiece of His.

‘So… the background of the story in the real film “Human Will” should have taken place during the Empire’s Second Battle of Honor, that is, between 1909 and 1915. ’

Gillan recalled the history books he had been reading lately.

‘At that time, the Führer launched a war to recapture the colony of Bosvia… and used this to promote the “Gear Plan”? ’

‘If this is the case, it is no wonder that the empire’s technology has developed so rapidly in the past dozen years. ’

‘The “flood” of Sichen in January soared, and the successive births of the “Mechanic Cult” and the “Mechanical Union” indeed brought a rapid increase in industrialization and national strength to the empire. ’

'However, the city of Bosvia is really ill-fated...not to mention that it has changed hands several times, but it has also been a stage for competition between many forces and even many powerful people. ’

With his thoughts at this point, Gilan felt an unspeakable solemnity about his next trip.

He always felt that this trip would not go so smoothly...

…

…

The biplane transport plane named "Duke Leonard" slowly descended and finally landed at a military base in the western part of Bosvia.

Ms. Teresa led the team, and everyone got off the plane one after another from the gangway.

Local officials in Bosvia were waiting for the flight earlier than this.

When he saw a group of people coming down, a young man in a suit who was leading them came up with a smile on his face and led five or six people.

"Welcome everyone to come from afar. I am the senior clerk in charge of reception and communications this time, Tapani Dot."

The young man stretched out his hand and smiled.

He looked to be nearly thirty years old, with a fair face and no beard, and wore a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses. There is also Bosivian's official ID hanging on his chest, which looks quite official.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tapani."

Ms. Teresa smiled politely and shook hands with him in a dignified manner.

Her status as the head of the gravedigger team was at the ministerial level within the empire, but in the special colony of Bosvia, it was difficult for her to gain the respect of local officials.

Although Tapani's smile was very modest, Gillan was keenly aware of a hint of hidden disdain.

The same is true for the five or six attendants behind Tapani.

This reminded Gillan of some local situations that Ms. Teresa told them about when they were on the plane.

There are many small people in Bosvia, and there are residents of all countries and colors. But as long as the locals have a "resident ID card", they have an inexplicable sense of superiority towards the imperial people.

It would be an understatement to call it arrogance.

This stems from Bosvia's importance to the Empire.

Gillan is well able to understand this broad public sentiment. To use a common saying in his previous life, it is "arrogance due to favor".

Relying on his own importance, he looked down upon the Imperial people.

Guillen didn't have a good impression of Bosylvia.

Not only because of the local exclusivity, but also because in Bosvia, human trafficking is actually legal...

Even with regard to the frequent disappearances in various slums, local officials just turn a blind eye and let the cases go unchecked.

This hardly makes Gillan feel good.
