From Prisoner to Si Chen

A moment of distraction.

Jilan then realized that the surrounding environment had changed. Time passed quietly, and it was a morning ten years later.

He felt his vision was a little dim, and he could smell a little strong herbal smell and a strange woody aroma, similar to the mixed smell of sandalwood, oak and cedar, mixed with a little vetiver and patchouli.

Jilan looked around and found himself in the bedroom of a wooden house.

In front of him was a large wooden table by the window, on which were placed books, parchment, quills, scrolls, some pendulum bone carvings and other mystical supplies.

A ray of sunlight slanted through the tree branches and shone on the windowsill, making the dust floating in the air clearly visible.

A single bed was against the wall. On the wooden cabinet next to it were various bottles and alchemical utensils.

Jilan slowly stood up and walked out of the room.

He found that there was a staircase leading to the second floor on the right side of the door, so he walked up.

There is also a room on the second floor, with the door open, and you can see the bed and tables and chairs inside. Some translucent glass jars placed in the corners of the wall are still soaked with specimens of toads, venomous snakes and scorpions.

However, judging from the various flowers on the windowsill and the obviously feminine decorations, this is Sasha's room.

'So this wooden house is where Sasha and I live in seclusion? '

Jilan said secretly.

At this time, he suddenly heard footsteps downstairs, so he turned and went downstairs.

As soon as he left the wooden house, Gilan saw a simple clothes drying rack and stone tables and chairs placed on the open space in front.

On the clothes rack were women's linen "chest bags" and "drawers", which were a kind of underwear unique to the Middle Ages, similar to modern bras and underwear.

"Jilan, what are you looking at?"

At this time, a gentle female voice came from the side.

Gilan turned his head and saw a woman with long brown shawl hair and delicate appearance coming slowly.

The other person was wearing a long linen dress with vertical pleats, revealing her fair shoulders and arms. There was also a flower basket hanging on her arm, which was full of mushrooms and wild vegetables.

She had obviously just come back from picking.

"Are you interested in my underwear?"

The woman came closer, put her head on his shoulder intimately, and smiled with narrowed eyes.

Immediately, she lowered her voice again and whispered:

"Would you like to see it? I made a new style."

As she said that, the woman lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand and was about to show Jilan the scenery under her skirt.

Snap.

Jilan grabbed her wrist.

"Sasha, get ready to eat."

"Changing the subject again..."

Sasha rolled his eyes, stuffed the flower basket into Jilan's arms, and then walked towards the wooden house.

"I asked you to cook soup, have you cooked it?"

"Uh, sorry." Jilan was startled and quickly found an excuse. "I was so busy reading that I forgot."

"I knew it was like this, hum."

Sasha stopped and raised her pink fist and waved it twice.

"You know the black bread bought from the traveling merchant is a little bit of wheat flour mixed with a lot of bran, which is harder than stone. If you don't eat it with soup, your teeth will be broken..."

"Then I won't eat bread today."

Gilan smiled.

Sasha was stunned.

"No bread, just mushroom and wild vegetable soup?"

"No." Gilan waved his hand. "Come and sit down."

Sasha looked suspicious and turned back.

Gilan pressed her shoulders and sat down at the stone table.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll make you a delicious meal."

As he said that, Gilan picked up the firewood beside him and said softly:

"Decomposition."

Crack!

Silver arcs burst out and jumped on the firewood in his hand. In an instant, the firewood was decomposed and turned into powder.

Gilan clasped his hands together.

Pointing at the stone table.

"Refine!"

Crack--

Silver lightning struck the table, and an alchemy array suddenly appeared, refining four or five plates of hot food.

Bacon rolls, fried meatballs, fish pie, sausage, venison legs and two cups of honey goat milk.

A standard aristocratic diet of the period.

The aroma of the food filled the air, and Sasha's beautiful eyes widened immediately. But she soon frowned and complained:

"Why do you use alchemy to make food... Everything in the world follows equivalent exchange, and it's too wasteful to spend energy on such a thing."

As she spoke, her tone softened, and she said with some heartache:

"You have done enough for me over the years. In addition to studying mysticism and alchemy, you also need to go out to take commissions to make money..."

"It's just a meal, it doesn't consume much energy."

Gilan waved his hand and smiled:

"Besides, today is a special day, we have to celebrate it."

"Special day?" Sasha was puzzled.

"It's been ten years since we left the Holy Idol Village, Sasha."

Gilan raised the goat's milk and said.

Hearing this, Sasha lowered her eyes.

"It's been so long, time flies so fast..."

She raised her head again, raised the goat's milk, and gently clinked glasses with Gilan.

Then, she smiled with emotion:

"Thank you for all these years, brother Gilan. Of course... and this delicious meal."

"When did you become so distant?"

Gilan shook his head.

"That's true." Sasha smiled.

She drank a sip of the sweet goat's milk, and raised her hand without paying attention to the milk stains on the corners of her mouth.

A broom leaning against the door of the cabin flew straight into her hand and was grabbed by her.

"Then let me decorate our dining table a little bit."

After saying that, Sasha pointed the broom to the side.

"Earth sign."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground around the stone table trembled slightly, and four earth pillars rose up.

Sasha flicked the broom again.

"Fire sign."

The top of the pillar suddenly lit up with flames, lighting up the surrounding area.

The originally silent atmosphere became inexplicably lively.

Sasha stood up and threw the broom away. She found some flowers, woven them into rings, and wrapped them around the pillars.

After doing this, Sasha turned around, walked behind Gilan, put her hands around his neck, and leaned her whole body against him.

His flushed face pressed against Ji Lan's ear and whispered:

"Brother, I am twenty-six this year... When do you plan to have a child?"

Ji Lan's heart trembled.

He didn't expect that in the past ten years, the relationship between the two would have become so close... This was obviously beyond his plan.

"Wait a little longer." Ji Lan had no choice but to find an excuse and sighed. "Right now, the church still wants us. Even if we live in seclusion here, it's not necessarily safe."

"Yes." Although Sasha was disappointed, he agreed softly. "I also hope that our children will not follow us around the world and have a stable and happy life..."

Just saying.

A faint sound of footsteps came from the forest on the right.

Although the footsteps were very subtle, with the strength of Jilan and Sasha, they could easily detect them.

"Someone is coming." Sasha frowned.

She stood up straight and stared into the woods.

The secluded place here is so remote that even some residents of nearby villages don't know about it.

The person who can be found here is obviously not an ordinary person.

I saw a figure carrying a sword on his back, wearing leather armor and a robe, gradually approaching.

It was a handsome man with medium-long brown hair.

When he saw the wooden house, the stone table and Jilan Sasha, he froze on the spot.

"Sister!" The man couldn't suppress his excitement and called out. "And...Brother Jilan!"

Sasha was also startled when he saw his brother whom he had not seen for ten years. She looked happy, but soon her face changed slightly and she shouted sternly:

"Didn't I tell you not to come to me?!"

"I just... just want to see you again, sister."

Payton walked over slowly with a look of pain on his face.

Sasha picked up the broom on the ground, pointed forward, and sighed:

"Not seeing you is the best outcome, Payton."

Boom!

The mud churned and a wave formed.

Payton took a deep breath, raised his hand, pulled out the sword from behind, and slashed forward.

"cut!"

Only a clanking sound was heard.

The mud wave was split, and Payton walked through with his sword.

"Sister! It's been ten years! I... just want to see you one last time, don't you want to?"

"You are now a witcher of the church, and I...heh, I am just a wanted witch who will be sent to the stake."

Sasha sneered.

Payton turned to look at the purple-eyed young man sitting beside his sister, opened his mouth, and then said in a deep voice:

"Thank you, Brother Jilan... I know you have been taking care of my sister all these years."

"I said at the beginning that I would take Sasha out of the Icon Village... Unfortunately, I failed to prevent this tragedy from happening."

Ji Lan shook his head and said.

Sasha quickly said to him gently:

"It's not your fault, it's all the damn 'Dettol Gold Leaf' and God Pan..."

As she spoke, her tone gradually turned colder.

Just when the siblings are confronting each other.

"Xiao——"

"Howling!!"

One after another, like the screams of unknown beasts, came from the surrounding forests. Along with the loud rumbling sound, the ground shook.

Soon, seven or eight strong figures about two meters tall appeared and surrounded the wooden house.

These figures all have sheep heads and bodies, covered with fish scales, and have swirling symbols carved on their foreheads. They have solemn expressions, fierce eyes, and long tongues——

The Evil God’s Familia, God Pan!

Both siblings frowned.

However, Gilan had known that this would happen, so he didn't make a fuss and just stood up silently.

"The fruit is ripe."

One of the gods, Pan, spoke.

It stared closely at Sasha and Peyton, grinning ferociously.

"The delicious twins are ready for the picking."

"Our Lord will rise again with their sacrifice."

"Catch them together!"

The eight Pan gods present rushed towards the siblings.

But as soon as they took a few steps away, they all stopped again, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.

Even siblings Sasha and Peyton opened their mouths slightly and stared blankly at the figure standing in front of them——

A knight riding an illusory Aries!

He was wearing skeletal armor, with a scarlet cloak raised behind his back. The black energy writhing like a dead soul wrapped around the cloak and the sheep's body.

This knight also carried a terrifying stone hammer. As if one man was in charge, he stopped in front of the wooden house.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

The knight didn't look back, but he made Gillan's voice. But it seems more indifferent, low and hoarse.

"Brother Jilan...?!"

Payton's pupils shrank.

Even Sasha felt her heart beating faster.

None of their siblings had ever thought that Ji Lan would have such an appearance...

It can bring such an incomparable sense of oppression!

They have known each other for so long, but they seem to have never really understood this man.

"Kill!!"

Suddenly, the knight shouted.

Boom! !

The white sheep under the seat kicked its hoof, leaving a big pit in the mud, splashing countless mud spots, leaving only hoof prints burning with green flames.

The knight has jumped up, a full seven or eight meters high.

Then he fell with a hammer!

Boom! !

A simple and unpretentious smash directly hammered a Pan into a meat paste on the spot!

Whoosh——

The stone hammer swept across, making a whistling sound.

Another muffled sound.

A Pan god was unable to react in time and was smashed into two pieces. When the blood mist exploded, the body flew across more than ten meters,

Boom!

Boom! !

The open space in front of the wooden house was shaking.

The trees in the forest swayed and rustled.

Countless birds flapped their wings and fled in fear.

Seeing this, the other Pans lost their will to fight and turned to flee.

This terrifying knight was not something they could deal with at all... If they didn't flee, they would die!

However, the speed of the Sheep Riders was much faster than that of the Pans.

They fled in all directions, but the knight, who looked extremely heavy in stone bone armor, caught up with them one by one like a ghost.

The knight left a trail of afterimages, shuttled through the forest, and could jump into the air and walk on air.

The stone hammer swung, like thunder.

In a moment, the eight Pans who came to attack were all killed by the hammer, either turned into meat paste or scattered into several pieces.

Jilan, who was in the "King's Arrival" state, rode the Sheep Riders and ran over the corpses, corrupting them one by one.

The color number in the corner of his sight also came to "3156".

…

…

"So, this is Gillan's true strength?"

Sasha stared at the forest blankly, her heart beating fast.

She had been with him for ten years, but she didn't know this secret. But when she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of security in her heart.

Because Sasha knew that no matter what secret Gillan was hiding, he would protect her.

Sasha, who was in a trance, didn't know that her brother Payton, who was standing beside her, had already had empty eyes and expressionless face.

Payton drew the long sword on his back, attacked without warning, and stabbed his sister in the back-

Swish! !

Sasha was startled.

She turned back suddenly, but saw a knight who was a head taller than her, standing behind her.

His armored hand tightly grasped the sword of his brother Payton, making him unable to move at all.

"Peyton, you..."

On the shoulder of the brown-haired young man, a small elf with its elbows folded was floating, with an ugly expression, and said in a deep voice:

"Damn it! You ruined my good deeds!"

"The little elf 'Puke' is a fantasy creature created by the October Apostle 'Dai Shensong' through "A Midsummer Night's Dream"... as a pawn to blaspheme the May Hour."

Under the knight's crown burning with green flames, an indifferent voice came.

The elf "Puke"'s face changed and screamed:

"How do you know?! Who are you?!"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I'm here. Don't think you can succeed this time..."

"Run!"

Puke flapped his wings and fled from Peyton's shoulder like crazy.

But the next second, he was caught by a big hand.

The indifferent and low voice said again:

"Solve..."

"Is this alchemy?! How can it work on me!"

The little elf struggled in his hand, fearful.
