From Prisoner to Si Chen

Filippo Eugene is not an ordinary person. He actually has certain strength.

Although he is far inferior to his adopted son, the first legion commander of the kingdom, Tessell, he was also a good player when he was young, with a super-limit level.

It should be said that in the warrior country of Doro, there are no ordinary men who can survive to adulthood.

However, Filippo is old after all, and he suffered a lot of hidden injuries when he was young. His skills have been washed away by time and there is little left.

If he faces the encirclement and suppression of the guards sent by the second prince alone, he is afraid that he will be in danger.

Even if he is a priest of the "Scar Cathedral", Ivan is unlikely to let him go... because he has another identity, that is, Tessell's adopted father.

Based on this alone, Ivan will definitely put Filippo to death on the grounds that he attacked the high priest Atlas without authorization.

Gilan intends to save the life of this old priest.

He took Filippo and escaped from the "Klein Colosseum" through the more hidden wall foot passage. At the same time, he also released Vivi from the ring and cast a spell on the two of them to confuse the consciousness of the few witnesses.

When he stopped in the alley halfway, Priest Filippo expressed his gratitude to Gilan in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your help, Gilan."

He did not show any worry or fear, but was relieved.

Filippo knew very well what the result would be if he attacked the high priest Atlas, but he still did it.

It was because he valued his adopted son, Tessell, more than his own life.

"If possible, please send me out of Klein, and then I will find a place to hide by myself... As for Tessell, tell him not to worry about me."

"Well, I know." Gilan nodded.

"Tessell won the championship in this 'Battle Festival'. Even if Ivan is afraid of him, he can't openly break his promise... When Tessell is awarded the knighthood and has his own territory, then..."

Filippo said, and suddenly stopped talking.

Gilan tacitly did not ask any more questions.

He understood what the other party meant.

Ivan became the new king, and with his character, he would definitely not tolerate Tsel.

The two sides had irreconcilable contradictions.

The future of the Kingdom of Doro is really hard to say.

…

…

After sending Filippo out of the city, Gillan turned back and returned to the "Klein Colosseum".

He found that the "Battle Ceremony" had ended.

It was just that there was a lot of chaos because of the death of the high priest Atlas.

The royal guards blocked the exit and searched the scene. Not long after, it was determined that the murderer was Filippo Eugene.

This result made many people feel incredible.

Filippo was also a priest of the "Scar Cathedral". Why did he assassinate the high priest?

The answer to this question is probably only known by the second prince Ivan and a few people such as Gillan.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

After a chaotic period, Ivan sent people to search for Filippo on the one hand, and on the other hand, he prepared for the celebration of becoming king.

In the palace, the champion of the "Battle Ceremony", Tsaiel, was crowned as the "Unbeaten Marquis", and he fulfilled his promise to grant a large sum of money and an entire city-state.

However, the city-state is located in a remote area, and the land is not fertile, and is even quite barren. There are sparse populations there, and it is the most backward area in the Kingdom of Doro.

It can be seen that even if Tsaiel won honor for the kingdom and won the war in disguise, Ivan still had no good feelings for him.

Even because of the failure of the conspiracy and the death of the high priest, the resentment in his heart was even greater...

After the awarding ceremony, Tsaiel was forced to resign as the head of the legion, and he would leave the royal city and go to a foreign land with the new identity of the lord marquis.

These are what Ivan wanted to see.

However, before leaving, Tsaiel privately invited Gilan to go to the new territory with him to serve as the governor and captain of the corps there.

Gilan readily agreed.

So he also left the First Legion.

The next morning, the large-scale convoy left the city-state and headed for the distance, with many Klein residents lining the streets to see them off.

By dusk, the convoy had already left the royal city for a long distance.

During a short rest, Gilan saw that three people who surprised him got off an inconspicuous carriage.

Prince Idrissa, Prince Ilig, and old priest Filippo.

"The two princes begged me to take them out of the royal city, and I agreed."

At this time, Tessell, who had changed his military uniform into a noble robe, walked to Gilan and explained softly.

"If they continue to stay in Klein, I'm afraid it will be unsafe. With Ivan's temper, it will be disadvantageous to the two sooner or later."

"As for the matter of priest Filippo, I haven't had time to thank you, Gilan."

In the sunset, he turned his head and smiled at Gilan.

Tsai's tone was full of emotion:

"If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to defeat my opponent so easily in the 'Battle Ceremony'..."

"It's just a piece of cake, Tsai."

Gilan waved his hand.

Tsai was quite serious and said:

"Ivan hates me to the core, and now I choose to protect the two princes. I'm afraid my future will not be easy, and there may even be a battle between the two sides."

"Don't you regret leaving with me?"

"Regret?" Jilan smiled and shook his head. "An excellent warrior should have no regrets about his choices. What's more, I don't have a good impression of the Klein royal family."

"Gilan, you will always be my brother."

Texel was quite touched and said in a deep voice.

Ji Lan looked at the man in front of him and found a strange brand on the left side of his neck, shining brightly in the sunset.

It looks like a pattern of overlapping shields and spears.

Texel did not have this mark before, and it seemed that it suddenly appeared on his neck after the "Battle Ceremony".

‘Seal of Apostle Candidate…’

Gilan was no stranger to this, and he quickly guessed that it was probably because of Texel's heroic performance in the Colosseum that he attracted the attention of March Sichen's "Gladiator" and thus lowered his brand.

Although he knew this, Gillan did not say it out loud. The two stood side by side under a tree on the oasis hill, overlooking the sunset and dusk on the horizon.

A long while.

Texel took out a sheepskin scroll, handed it to Gillan's hand, and said:

"This is a secret skill I created. I hope it can inspire you... You will need to worry more about the territory in the future, Lord Archon."

He smiled and patted Gilan on the shoulder, then turned and left, walking towards Filippo, the Third Prince and others.

at this time.

Ji Lan suddenly noticed that "Banlan" was moving again.

A colorful light fell from the sky and shone on Texel's body, but the other party did not notice it at all.

'This is it again...'

Ji Lan looked at the man in the colorful light, his eyes focused.

This situation also appeared in the previous "Silver Vase". At that time, when he was parting with Miss Flamel Nicolas, "beautiful" was triggered for some reason, and colorful lights fell from the sky and enveloped the other party.

Gillan never knew exactly what the impact would be. But he always felt that this shouldn't be a bad thing.

‘It seems...this situation only occurred after I was promoted to Kusei. ’

Gilan frowned, thinking to himself, and saw that the colorful light that shrouded Texel gradually dissipated, and everything remained as before, as if nothing had happened.

He guessed that perhaps after he was promoted to level 4, "Banlan" also underwent some kind of change. As for what this change was, he couldn't figure out the reason.

when--

when--

when--

Suddenly, a familiar bell rang through the sky.

'The movie is ending. ’

Ji Lan secretly thought.

Soon, he saw noise and vertical spots appearing in the surrounding field of vision.

Ji Lan was already familiar with the road, so she closed her eyes and waited silently for a few seconds.

After a moment of trance, he opened his eyes again and found that he had returned to reality and was sitting on the wooden floor of the master bedroom.

On the curtain in front of me, the last movie scene stayed on the hill of the oasis. Texel was chatting with the third prince, fourth prince and priest Filippo, unaware of Gilan's disappearance.

White subtitles scrolled in the light of the setting sun. In addition to the familiar list of behind-the-scenes personnel, Gillan once again saw the words of thanks left by the "director":

"I have been thinking, is there really someone who is always invincible in this world? If there is, it will definitely not be me... As for you, my friend, have you failed?"

Ji Lan looked at this passage and felt a little baffled.

He shook his head and lowered his eyes.

In his hand, he was holding a parchment scroll.

It was the share that Texel gave him that Gillan took out of the film.

After thinking for a moment, he untied the string and browsed the parchment scroll.

Soon, Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

The secret skill recorded on this scroll is called "Return" and is biased towards defense. Can be used bare-handed, but is best done with the aid of a medium such as a shield.

Through this secret skill, one can withstand the opponent's powerful attacks, cut them down, and counterattack the received force.

"Defensive counterattack? It is indeed a secret technique created by Texel, integrating offense and defense."

Gillan murmured.

"It just so happens that I still lack a secret skill for defense. Let's learn it."

After studying it carefully, he silently called out in his heart:

'gorgeous! ’

Immediately, the colored number in Gillan's eyes dropped from "4612" to "4312", and he spent 300 points of mysterious energy, allowing him to instantly master the secret defensive technique called "Reflow".

After learning it, he discovered that in addition to the contents of the secret skills, the parchment scroll actually also recorded the body sword spiral, the secret of the fifth-level "monster" on the road of "Gladiator" in March.

Jilan was quite happy to see this.

This is another level 5 secret after "Doll".

‘Very good… this should be of great use as a reference for deducing players’ path to Level 5 Essence, and it can save me a lot of time. ’

Gillan put away the parchment scroll properly, then stood up, shut down the projector, and let Weiwei return to the ring.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the alchemy hotline, approached the hotline card, and called Ms. Crow...

…

…

Deep in the dream sea.

A giant island reflected in the dark sea.

The land of gods, Toyalan.

The "corridor" area on the mountainside is layered like a maze within the horizon.

A huge white stone arch stands on the mountain top plain. This door is about 100 meters high and is covered with exquisite reliefs and patterns.

Countless warriors are displayed on the relief in a fighting posture. At the top of the arch, there is a huge statue of a sheep's head, with sheep eyes looking down at everything below.

On one side of the arch, two figures, one large and one small, were leaning against each other. They seemed to be chatting.

The large figure was more than ten meters tall, with the head of a bull and the body of a bull, with bulging muscles, exuding a formidable sense of oppression and momentum. Its body is covered with black fur, and its head has two thick horns that curve upward.

However, the horn on the right side was cut off from the middle, with a smooth cross-section, as if it had been cut off by some kind of sharp weapon.

The small figure was that of a man, wearing only leather trousers and an armored apron. His upper body was naked, exposing his strong muscles.

"There will be great changes in the world, Taunus."

The man leaned on the stone pillars of the arch and sighed with his elbows.

"Aren't you curious about the final outcome of this battle?"

"Texel, this is a fight between the 'Crippled King' and the 'Blind General'. If it is not necessary, it would be better for us not to intervene."

The huge tauren said in a powerful voice.

Texel shook his head.

"Having said that, Mr. 'Gladiator' Mars seems to be interested in intervening. As a god who masters the 'Law of Combat', he is the former opponent of the 'Blind General'... Now that the new gods have only been replaced for a few hundred years, he feels it. A little lonely."

"I'm the janitor, Texel."

Taunus chuckled.

"Even if I want to go out, I have to get permission from the Gladiator."

"This is for your own good, Mr. Mars, to prevent you from fighting with other apostles...Taunos, don't forget who cut off your horns in the first place."

Texel said in a deep voice.

The tauren stopped talking and fell into silence.

He sat down slowly and followed Texel's example, leaning against the doorpost and speaking calmly:

"Of course I will never forget that he is the 'Colonel Blood' Hermann Tulio, one of the four apostles under the 'Blind General'. He was a subordinate of the Knights before the 'Crippled King' ascended... This kind of person who betrays the monarch, I Taunus has always despised him, but unfortunately, he only cut off one of his arms and failed to kill him. "

"And you've lost a horn forever, haven't you?"

Texel glanced at his companion beside him and said.

at this time.

A colorful beam of light descended suddenly and fell on Texel, but neither of the two apostles even noticed it.

Texel was suddenly startled.

"What's wrong with you, Texel?" the minotaur asked.

"Nothing." Texel came back to his senses and shook his head. "I just suddenly thought of my old friend."

"Thousands of years later, my brother is still in the mortal world and has not ascended... This war that affects the entire continent may involve him, so I think I should help him."

"Your brother?" Taunus asked doubtfully. "Why haven't I heard you talk about it... Moreover, people who have not ascended, even sixth-level long-term people, cannot have a life span of a thousand years. How can your brother live for such a long time?"

Texel shook his head and did not answer.

The tauren seemed to have some understanding and laughed.

"It seems that you and I are more inclined towards the 'Crippled King'..."

"An excellent soldier should have no regrets about his choices. What's more, I don't have a good impression of the 'Blind General'."

Texel said calmly.

"The most important point is that although the old gods are hidden, they have not disappeared. Instead of bowing to the old gods like the 'Blind General', it is better to join the camp of the 'Crippled King' and fight to the end!"

"It seems that you are more interested in me, Texel."

The tauren laughed.

"But all this depends on what Mr. Gladiator wants."
