From Prisoner to Si Chen

"Hello, Blood Owl?"

A mature and pleasant female voice came from the other end of the alchemy hotline. It was Ms. Crow.

"Sorry, Madam, I'm calling you so late. I've already completed your commission. At present, the real film "Legend of the Unbeaten" is in my hands. May I ask if it is a remote transaction through the alchemy array, or..."

"Did you get it? Very good." Ms. Crow laughed. "I was right about you... In fact, I have been paying attention to your mission to the Kingdom of Fosaka. I saw that you didn't contact me for several days after returning to the empire, so I knew you must be busy."

"Well... If possible, let's take some time to meet. After all, it is safer to tell the secret of the 5th level "lighting" of the "director" path orally."

"Well, that's good." Jilan thought for a while and responded. "Then how about meeting at the "chessboard manor" tomorrow morning?"

"Okay." Ms. Crow said. "Let's have breakfast together at the manor at nine o'clock."

"No problem." Jilan smiled.

After hanging up the hotline, Jilan put away the metal microphone and Ms. Crow's special line card.

Then, he turned his head to check the time.

The wall clock showed one o'clock in the morning.

It was already very late when he returned to the apartment from teacher Pala. After that, he watched a movie and it was already early in the morning.

Although Jilan was a little tired after watching the movie, he was still excited and had no sleep at all... Because he still had thousands of mysterious points in his hand, he always felt uneasy.

This feeling is like the card-drawing games he played in his previous life. Once a new version and a new card pool are released, it is often difficult to bear not to use the resources he has hoarded.

Of course, there are differences between the two.

At least, "Banlan" can't possibly turn the points of swordsmanship into meditation.

"Body-building technique "Life Star Track", meditation method "Ten Thousand Flowers Dream", secret sword technique "Universe Sword"..."

Jilan murmured and took a deep breath.

These three pieces of knowledge are very important, involving the three aspects of one's own physical strength, spirituality and combat respectively.

But he couldn't figure out how much consumption the subsequent upgrades would cost. If the more than 4,000 mysterious points on hand were not enough to upgrade all of them, it would be a bit embarrassing.

'Let's upgrade the body-building technique first and continue to play to our strengths. '

Jilan thought to himself, took out the black notebook that recorded "Life Star Track", and opened it to study the contents.

After the entry stage "Chong Xiang", the second stage of the initial stage is "Xing Xiang". The enhancement of the physique is not a qualitative leap, but the improvement is relatively smooth, which is not bad.

Jilan looked at it for a while and got a basic idea.

So he secretly called out in his heart:

'Colorful! '

Immediately, the colorful numbers in his eyes fell from the original "4312" to "3612", consuming 700 points of mysterious energy.

And the "Xing Xiang" of the body-building technique "Life Star Track" was also mastered by Jilan.

He felt hot all over.

And after closing his eyes, he saw an inexplicable star scene. Two bright stars collided and passed by each other in motion, forming a very oppressive trajectory.

And Jilan's own metabolism naturally became less regular, breathing rapidly, sweating all over, but his heartbeat was extremely slow.

Gradually, his body temperature dropped.

The internal organs, bones, muscles and skin, and even the tissues of various organs all changed silently.

Time passed slowly.

It was around three o'clock in the morning.

Jilan opened his eyes again, but found that his condition was very good, and everything was back to normal.

'The overall quality of the physique should have been improved by nearly 30% on the original basis...'

He stood up, stretched his fists and feet, and after a little test, he said in his heart.

This round of improvement made him feel very good.

"Well, next is the meditation method!"

He murmured, calling "Colorful" again.

This time, the mysterious points consumed a full 900 points, allowing Jilan to master the third stage "Fireworks" of the meditation method "Ten Thousand Flowers Dream".

He simply took off his clothes, smeared the secret medicine "Lava Balm" on his body, and then meditated with "Dream of Ten Thousand Flowers".

According to the actual test results, its efficiency in tempering spiritual knowledge is about three times that of the "Twelve Thorns" "Iron Thorn Meditation Method".

Meditation once is equivalent to the efficiency of an ordinary mystic for a month!

Coupled with the improved version of "Lava Balm", Jilan can absorb four cosmic elements at the same time, and his spirituality is improved ridiculously fast.

He felt that he would be able to meet the hard conditions for promotion to level 5 in a short time.

After a period of practice, the sky outside the window was already dawning.

Jilan struck while the iron was hot and activated "Colorful" again to improve the secret sword technique "Universe Sword".

What surprised him was that the points consumed in the second chapter "Galaxy" after the first chapter "Stars" were doubled!

Directly deducted 1,600 energy points!

Jilan's accumulated points in "Unbeatable Legend" soon dropped to "1112".

In his mind, the knowledge about "Universe Sword·Galaxy" was completely black, and he didn't understand it at all. At this moment, it seemed as if he was connected by a series of meteors, and finally he understood something and constructed a brilliant galaxy picture.

'The original four branches of sword skills in the Star Chapter, attack, defense, surprise, and killing, have all been further improved. No matter the power or sophistication of the sword skills, they are far apart. '

Jilan's eyes were bright, reflecting the skylight outside the window.

He raised his hand, and the Sword of Laughter appeared in his palm. Immediately, the corners of Gilan's eyes suddenly lit up with silver light, forming two trailing silver lines.

In his field of vision, everything seemed to be at a standstill, and even the dust in the air was frozen.

Guillen took action in a split second.

The Sword of Laughter disappeared inexplicably, as if it had never appeared. The master bedroom room was actually filled with dense sword light, like a swirling galaxy, extremely bright.

The stars flowed and collapsed with Jilan as the center.

Finally, it condensed a little and broke out again.

An arc-shaped silver track snaked out, illuminating the room.

bass--

When Jilan sheathed her sword, she turned her staff into a pestle and struck the ground.

The little bits of starlight in the room even remained, falling slowly like dust.

In the process of falling, it slowly disappears.

‘This secret sword technique is too profound. If it weren’t for the assistance of ‘Panlan’ and my own hard training, I’m afraid it would be true as Teacher Parra said, and I wouldn’t be able to master it within ten or twenty years. ’

Gillan looked thoughtful.

He looked at the remaining starlight in the air around him and was secretly surprised.

These light points are actually cosmic elements detonated by the secret sword technique, turning them from an "invisible" state into substantial light energy, accompanied by strong magnetic field radiation.

The energy aroused by "Universal Sword·Galaxy" was so huge that even if Jilan just tried it casually, the whole room was filled with a mysterious magnetic field.

If an ordinary person steps in rashly at this time, he will be swayed by the magnetic field throughout his body in a few breaths and die on the spot.

"Hmm..." Jilan groaned. "After practicing this secret sword technique to the 'Galaxy Chapter', it seems that there has been a qualitative change, and the consumption has also increased a lot. Fortunately, my body and spirituality can support it."

He glanced at the surroundings, took out a few bottles of "Dang Magnetic Water", and sprinkled them in every corner of the room to reduce the impact of the "Universal Sword".

This was done to prevent old Charles and the maids from accidentally entering the room after he left the apartment later and causing an accident.

Immediately afterwards, Jilan saw that he had just over a thousand points left, and tried to let "Bailan" deduce the fifth-level essence of the player's path.

Soon, as expected, the deduction failed.

The reason is insufficient energy.

Even though Gilan took out the two fifth-level secrets of the body spiral of "Doll" and "Monster" as reference, the feedback from "Bailan" was still not good.

Ji Lan was shocked to see that "Banlan" gave a reminder that 5,000 points of energy were needed.

'Hmm... It seems that it is because the most important "Director" level 5 secret is missing, so it is very difficult to deduce. After all, that is the key blueprint of the player's path. ’

he thought.

‘After having it, most of the consumption should be reduced, and the energy required for deduction will be much less... Therefore, I am bound to get the “Light” secret in the hands of Ms. Crow. ’

Ji Lan looked at the time again. It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and there was only one hour left before the meeting with Ms. Crow.

So, he went to the bathroom to wash up and came out to change into decent clothes. She also tied her shawl-length golden-red hair into a ponytail.

After taking care of his image properly, he took out "Ye Mei"'s identity token, the "Knight's Chess" made of gold.

After being inspired by spirituality, there was a flash of golden light.

The chess piece floated from Jilan's palm and hung upside down in the air. A small oval door appeared in front of him that could only be seen with spiritual vision.

Gillan took a step forward and stepped into it.

Wow.

His eyes turned.

He found himself on a green and empty garden lawn.

Not far ahead, in front of the pink and white building, a white round table and high-backed chairs were idle, with only one woman sitting there.

Gillan walked over quickly.

"Good morning, Ms. Crow, I kept you waiting for a long time." He smiled apologetically, took off his hat and saluted the gentleman.

"Good morning, Mr. Blood Owl." The lady wearing a black top hat and a black veil nodded and smiled. "But I didn't have to wait long, I just arrived."

"Please take a seat."

"Um."

Gillan pulled out the white chair opposite the lady and sat down.

The lady raised a hand wearing a black suede glove and waved lightly. Platters of dishes appeared on the table, as well as drinks such as coffee, milk, and tea.

"Let's chat while eating." the lady smiled.

"I'm happy to accompany you." Jilan smiled and nodded, without being polite, directly picked up the tableware and ate the breakfast.

After the two casually chatted for a few words.

Ji Lan swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of tea and asked:

"Lady Crow, how much do you know about Texel Eugene?"

"'Invincible' Texel..."

Ms. Crow stopped holding the silver spoon in her hand and cast a meaningful look under her veil.

"It seems that you have already seen the film."

"Yes." Jilan admitted frankly without hiding anything.

"Well...Texel once unified the western countries, and the current Stuttgart Empire was established by him."

Ms. Crow thought for a while and said.

Ji Lan was startled.

"Texel was the first emperor of the Stuttgart Empire?"

"That's right." Ms. Crow nodded. "Before He ascended, he raised his flag to counterattack the then-Doro Kingdom, and finally defeated the royal family and the church, and unified the rebel alliance."

"After that, he successively annihilated the northern barbarian civilization in the north and the sea barbarian civilization on the far west coast, and became the famous 'Emperor Texel' in history."

"Of course, not long after he became the emperor, he ascended to the divine land and eventually became the 'Invincible' one of the March Apostles."

"That's it." Ji Lan was surprised and nodded.

At the end of the film, it is Texel who leaves the royal city of Klein and heads to his own remote territory.

Something must have happened after that, which intensified the conflict between the new king Ivan and Texel, and eventually the two parties became mortal enemies.

But Gillan didn't expect that Texel would accomplish so many great feats, and the Stuttgart Empire he established would become one of the three major hegemons in the world today.

"So, does Ms. Crow know something about the other March Apostle, 'Fortress' Taunos?"

Gillan asked again.

Ms. Crow shook her head.

"The deeds of Taunos are rarely known, and there is even no real film about him in the 'Recording Society'... The origin of this apostle is very mysterious, and it is far older than most apostles."

"All we know is that He was not ascended from a human being, but a mysterious creature. Moreover, He has a good relationship with Tessel the Invincible."

Gilan nodded, thoughtfully.

Then, he smiled, took out a black film reel, and handed it to the lady.

"This is the real film "Invincible Legend" that you entrusted me to find in the Kingdom of Fosaka."

"Thank you, Blood Owl." Ms. Crow put down her silver fork, took the film reel, and said with a smile.

She glanced at it casually, and after confirming the authenticity of the film, she said directly without mincing words:

"The Spiral of the Sword of the Furnace, the fifth-level 'Lighting' secret on the path to 'Director' in February says so..."

Ms. Crow spoke softly and spoke clearly.

She explained the "light" secret to Gillan one-on-one and explained the secret in detail.

After all, the esoteric rhythm is four characters and four lines, which condenses a lot of information. Therefore, oral esoteric transmission is easier to understand than media such as paper esoteric transmission.

Not long after.

Jilan remembered the secret of "Lighting" deeply in his mind, then nodded to Ms. Crow and said:

"I remember it all."

"Well, that's good." Ms. Crow smiled. "Happy transaction, Mr. Blood Owl."

"Happy Trading."

After the commission was completed, the two did not say goodbye, but continued to eat breakfast and chat.

They both talked a lot about real film and secret history. We even talked about Franco the Blue Stork.

Ms. Crow said that Franco has a rigorous work style and a serious attitude. Now that he has been promoted to a third-level mystic, he was promoted to a "three-star film critic" by her.

"Mr. Cang Stork has a good talent and has made rapid progress in mysticism. When he is promoted to Kusei one day, I will consider letting him join the 'Screening Round Table' and become a senior member of the 'Recording Club'."

Ms. Crow said.

Gilan smiled and expressed his gratitude.

At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart:

'It won't be long. ’
