From Prisoner to Si Chen

when! !

The wheel stone hammer fell like a meteorite and hit the silver kite-shaped shield hard, making a loud noise.

As if forging iron, sparks sputtered out from the shield.

But Schnauzer's figure was only slightly lower, but he didn't take half a step back.

Of course, the big dog named Amos also contributed to this. After its transformation, it has a huge size and can also provide strong support for its owner, Schnauzer.

Jilan's strike was equivalent to competing with a person and a dog at the same time.

Click, click, click!

Schnauzer held a shield in his left hand and resisted the hammer head with all his strength.

Half of his face was revealed from behind the shield, with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Vic, your hammer is so strange. It has the power to harm the soul."

Schnauzer narrowed his eyes.

Sitting on the big dog, he was almost eye level with the three-meter-tall Gillan.

"Although my shield reduced this power, it still eroded me... This is clearly the unique ability of the divine scepter spiral."

"But the intuitive feeling you gave me is more like a mysterious person with a spiral body."

"Strange, so strange."

Bang! !

Jilan didn't respond. He directly raised his leg and performed an "Iron Crushing" kick in his "Mad King" form.

Along with the roar, the violent wind dispersed in a ring.

Schnauzer once again blocked with the silver kite-shaped shield in his hand, but he staggered, and the big dog under him couldn't bear the terrifying impact and kept retreating.

Wow!

One person and one dog dragged each other for more than ten meters, plowing a furrow in the ground covered with white velvet, and dandelions were flying all over the sky.

Schnauzer did not move forward to attack, but took a deep look at the oppressive stone sculpture.

"Mr. Vic, see you next time."

After that, he rode the big dog, turned around, leaped a few times, and disappeared into the distance.

Gilan stood there and did not pursue.

After turning on the "spiritual arrival" state, he can only compete with the opponent on a par. There is no point in catching up, and he still doesn't know if the opponent has any trump cards.

What's more, this state can only last less than a minute. Once the "ultimate move" is over, Gilan will definitely suffer.

Although he can wake up at any time and leave the land of gods by virtue of his "beautiful beauty". But until the end, he didn't want to expose this trump card easily.

After Schnauzer's figure completely disappeared, Gilan released the "spiritual arrival" and returned to his original state.

He exhaled a long breath, his expression solemn.

This time when I visited the Land of Gods, I never expected to meet a powerful enemy who was also a mysterious person, and the opponent's behavior was suspicious and full of unknowns.

‘Get out of here as soon as possible. ’

Jilan was worried that Schnauzer would come back with a counterattack, so he didn't dare to waste time and quickly stepped forward to clean up the battlefield.

Fortunately, after a battle, the mushrooms and worms were forced back by the spreading raging fire, giving Jilan a relatively safe area.

He cut open several coked mushrooms, cut and decomposed them on site, took out the spherical mycelium that served as the core, and put them away properly.

After waiting for a while.

Ji Lan found that there was a faint footprint under his feet, which shimmered under his spiritual vision.

Then, he disappeared.

He felt that his "brand of Shenxiang" had a closer connection with the entire Shenxiang.

‘This “footprint” was finally formed. ’

Ji Lan secretly thought.

Just at this time.

Boom! ! !

A terrifying loud noise suddenly appeared, accompanied by the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.

Ji Lan suddenly turned around and saw a dozen giant tornadoes appearing in the east, raging in this desert area, blowing up sandstorms all over the sky.

The tornado reached the sky and kept twisting.

Those "wind spore mothers" that are comparable to houses are next to these tornadoes, like fine particles of dust, being directly drawn into them and stirred into countless fragments.

'There……'

Ji Lan's eyes narrowed.

‘It’s on the right side of the fork in the road! ’

He immediately thought of Schnauzer's reminder when he passed the "Cactus" area.

The other party seems to have good intentions, indicating that there are dangerous residents of Shenxiang on the left, but in fact he has evil intentions and plans to lure him to the right.

Once Jilan goes to the right, he will face the tornado that is comparable to a natural disaster.

‘What a plan! ’

Gillan sneered.

He didn't know Schnauzer, and he didn't remember that he had offended him. This is obviously unprovoked malice, trying to kill himself...

Ji Lan wrote down this incident and will definitely repay it twice as much when there is an opportunity in the future.

Immediately, he directly activated "Bailan" to wake him up and leave the land of gods.

Wow——

There was a flash of colored light.

Gillan suddenly opened his eyes.

He was still sitting on the sofa by the window of the chairman's office. The sky outside the window was just right and it was quite bright.

You can also overlook nearly half of the city in Muse City.

"Are you awake?" The white-haired old gentleman came over with two cups of coffee, sat opposite Gillan, and handed the coffee over. "Fifteen minutes have passed since reality. How have you gained in the Land of Gods?"

"Thank you." Gilan took the coffee and thanked him.

After taking a sip, he smiled and said:

"The harvest was good. I successfully left the first 'footprint' at the gathering place of wind elements in the 'lower level', and also obtained the 'Mushrooms' and 'Kraken's Eggs' needed to improve the formula."

"Very good." Parra nodded happily.

"But this time when I visited the Land of Gods, I met a strange and mysterious person. He tried to mislead me to a dangerous area, and even took the initiative to attack me..."

Jilan thought for a while and told his teacher Parra everything he had experienced in the Land of Gods.

After listening, the white-haired old gentleman looked thoughtful.

"What you met should be a 'Shenxiang Hunter'."

"Hunter from Shenxiang...?" Jilan frowned in confusion.

"Yeah." Parra nodded. "This is a group of people who wander around the Land of Gods, waiting for opportunities to hunt other visitors."

"Why are they doing this?"

"It's very simple. If a Kusei dies in the Land of Gods, he will really die, and the Nightmare Monument will not be formed, but the mysterious disc stone with the kingdom's brand will be directly precipitated."

Parra said calmly.

"Such a spiritual disc stone is very precious, whether it is used as a material or directly used for practice..."

"That's it." Ji Lan narrowed his eyes.

"Schnauzer, Amos... the fifth-level long-timer, who can release purple-black light to blind spiritual vision, and the bloody triangular inverted cross mark..."

Parra thought for a moment.

"The person you are talking about should be a high-ranking member of the 'Solar Eclipse Society'. The path he takes is the Holy Grail Spiral, the path of 'Noon Dawn' in July, and he is a fifth-level primeval 'knight'."

"Of course, his essence has been desecrated and he belongs to the fallen 'knight'."

"Degenerate?" Jilan asked.

"This is an irreversible change that occurs after direct contact with the evil god or the power of Si Sui."

Parra patiently explained to his students.

"This change will make the original substance more powerful, but on the contrary, it will also make subsequent promotions more difficult... or even impossible to ascend."

"The principle of 'equivalent exchange'..."

Gillan murmured.

Parra nodded and immediately showed a pleased expression.

"Gilan, you were able to draw with him in a short period of time, and your actual combat level has far exceeded that of the same level. If you can maintain this level in the future, it will be great for you. Advantage."

"Bring the materials, I'll teach you how to refine the improved 'lava balm'."

"is teacher."

Gilan agreed and immediately took out the two materials he had obtained from the Land of Gods.

Parra first picked up the spherical white mycelium, which is the core tissue of the "mushroom" and can be understood as the human heart.

Parra stretched out an index finger, and the tip of his finger flashed with a red electric arc. With a slight stroke, his finger was like a sharp knife, cutting the spherical hyphae into slices as thin as cicada wings.

“First slice the mushrooms and then grill them at a low temperature, which will allow them to melt slowly.”

As Parra spoke, a scarlet flame ignited in the palm of her other hand.

He put slices of "mushrooms" on top and flipped them while grilling so that they could be heated evenly.

Soon, you can see the mycelium curling due to the temperature of the fire, and then melting like liquid wax, turning into a white liquid slurry, gathering into a ball in the palm of Pala's hand.

This thick slurry slowly levitated, floating in the air, and kept shaking.

Parra picked up a square-shaped octopus tentacle that was 20 centimeters long, wide and high. He touched it with a flick of his finger, and a red electric arc pulsed. The tentacle tissue instantly disintegrated, separating hundreds of eyeball particles that were even smaller than a mung bean.

"The 'Egg of Kraken' needs to be mashed into juice, then mixed with the 'Mushroom Slurry', heated, left... and repeated three times before it can be used."

While explaining, Parra raised his hand, condensing a set of alchemy vessels out of thin air, put the eyeball particles in, and crushed them into juice.

Then he mixed the two juices and followed the steps described, heating and leaving, three times.

At this time, Gillan noticed that the originally off-white thick slurry gradually became translucent.

Parra took out the six ingredients recorded in the "Lava Balm" formula, processed them one by one, and began to prepare the ingredients.

Gilan held his breath and stared at the teacher's movements with concentration, not wanting to miss any detail.

He memorized the entire process in his mind.

Finally, Parra added the translucent thick mixed slurry into the vessel, causing the originally reddish-brown potion to quickly solidify, and a layer of colored oil film formed on the surface.

"It's done." Parra chuckled lightly, pushed the cylindrical vessel in front of Gilan, and said, "Try the efficacy of the medicine."

"Okay, teacher." Jilan nodded.

He didn't hesitate, just took off his shirt, dug out a lump of reddish-brown ointment with his fingers, and began to apply it on himself.

This ointment exudes a strange mixed fragrance, different from floral or perfume, its smell is stronger and even pungent.

After smearing the "lava balm" on his chest, back and arms, Gillan found that his skin was shiny and a colorful oil film had formed.

Soon, he felt his whole body starting to heat up.

Gillan knew that the ointment was working.

He sat on the sofa by the window, and under the gaze of Teacher Parra, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

In his spiritual vision, he saw four-color particles floating in the air converging like crazy with him as the center within a range of several hundred meters.

The four cosmic elements of fire, water, wind, and earth constantly cling to the body surface, and then purify themselves under the influence of a certain force, emitting a more dazzling light, and then integrate into Jilan's body.

‘The medicine is so powerful! ’

Ji Lan was shocked.

This medicine is at least ten times more effective than the "wick magic medicine"!

Especially its purifying effect allows Jilan's spirituality to directly absorb the processed elements and improve quickly.

Ji Lan's practice lasted for more than an hour. After the colored oil film on his body dissipated, he opened his eyes and let out a sigh of contentment.

"The improved 'lava balm' is indeed a perfect fit for you. You didn't waste even a little bit of the cosmic elements you attracted, they were all absorbed spiritually."

Parra was lying on the sofa opposite the coffee table, looking at Gilan.

He shook his head and sighed:

"If you continue like this, your spirituality will soon meet the requirements of Level 5."

"Be prepared as early as possible, whether it's the path of February's 'Director', the secret of the fifth-level 'Lighting', or the three remaining 'footprints' in the Land of Gods."

"Yes, teacher." Jilan said seriously.

"Let's come here today. From tomorrow onwards, you can officially study with me. Come to me at eight o'clock every morning. Don't be late."

Parra gave an instruction.

Gilan bowed his head respectfully and agreed again.

…

…

After a brief lunch in the cafeteria of the Triumph Building, Guillen asked his bodyguard to drive back to No. 9 Morales Street.

As soon as they returned to their residence, the female secretary Lenis came up to her holding a small book and whispered in her ear:

"Sir, I have your phone number."

"Who's calling?"

"It's the daughter of Propaganda Minister Mr. Stavin, Miss Fra Lotito who came to visit you with the minister's wife."

Lenis explained in a low voice.

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

He remembered that he did leave a business card for the "second-generation official" girl.

"What does she want from me?"

"Miss Fulla didn't explain on the phone. When she heard that you were not at home, she hung up the phone...but her tone seemed a little nervous, as if she needed to see you for something urgent."

"Yeah, I understand." Gilan nodded.

He thought for a while and directly waved to the old butler Charles.

Old Charles walked over quickly, bowed and said:

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Go prepare some gifts, food or decorations, it's up to you. I need to visit the neighbors."

Gillan said, took out his wallet and handed Old Charles a "100" gold foil note.

Old Charles took the Caesar and expressed his understanding.

He used to be the chief steward of Earl Farhan's family, so he was quite experienced in this kind of thing, and he also knew Minister Stavin's preferences very well.

When visiting for the first time, old Charles also knows a lot about what should be given and what should not be given.

After getting the money, Old Charles went out to purchase.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he drove back and walked into the single-family apartment carrying several gift bags.

After getting these carefully selected gifts, Gillan nodded with satisfaction.

The four gift bags include four members of the Stavin family, and they are all items that meet their preferences.

Although it is not expensive, you can see your heart.

"Well done, Ciel," Gillan smiled.

"It is an honor to serve you, Master."

Old Charles said modestly.

Ji Lan chuckled lightly, greeted the female secretary, walked out of the courtyard with the gift bag, and walked straight to the right.

No. 10 Morales Street, located next to the single-family apartment, is where Minister Stavin lives.

The courtyard of this apartment is well taken care of, with healthy potted plants, lawns and trees, full of greenery and the fragrance of flowers.

Gillan rang the doorbell.

Ding dong.

Ding dong.

Soon, a fat middle-aged maid hurried over with her skirt in hand.

"Foreign Minister Guillen Ylos!"

I don’t know if she was Stavin’s wife, but Mrs. Norma had given instructions intentionally, which made the maid recognize Gillan.

She looked surprised and quickly greeted him respectfully and saluted.

"I finally have some free time, come and visit."

Jilan smiled through the wrought iron fence gate.

The maid nervously apologized, then turned back to report. Soon, Mrs. Norma, who was dressed luxuriously in a light yellow dress, followed the maid to greet her in person.

The courtyard door opens.

Mrs. Norma said enthusiastically:

"Welcome! Today is such a lucky day, we have a distinguished guest at our door!"

She extended her hand affectionately, and Gillan took it knowingly, kissing her knuckles lightly.

Afterwards, under the guidance of his wife, they walked into the apartment together.

As soon as he entered, Gillan saw two young men, a man and a woman, walking down the stairs. They were the second son and third daughter of the Propaganda Minister, Cordell and Fulla.

Seeing Gilan's arrival, Cordell's expression was surprised, but soon turned into a respectful and polite posture, standing on the stairs and bowing his head to Gilan.

As for the sister beside him, her expression is much richer.

Ji Lan saw a hint of surprise on the girl's slightly sickly pale face.

At the same time, under his spiritual vision, he also captured the girl's spiritual outline that was dim and even damaged.

'curse? Ha...interesting. ’

Ji Lan secretly thought.
