From Prisoner to Si Chen

Aurora and Franco were also happy when they heard the praise from the head of state.

"Although you two are not affiliated with the imperial department, as mystical persons, I am very pleased that you are willing to help the empire fight against disasters."

Caesar laughed.

"Miss Aurora, you are a nun of the 'Mother Church', and I will not begrudge the rewards you deserve. Including the 'Holy Sisters' you lead, there will be rewards, and the sacrificed members will also receive the rich burials they deserve. Also a hero..."

"Thank you, Mr. Head of State."

Aurora lowered her head and said softly.

Caesar looked at the man again.

"Mr. Franco, although your 'Recording Society' is a secret society, as far as I know, there has been no bad behavior. This time, you responded to the call and came to help, which is good."

"These are what you should do as an Imperial."

Franco replied quickly.

Although the head of state did not promise anything, he understood that this was a blessing for the "record meeting".

Because the existence of the "Recording Meeting", strictly speaking, does not comply with the imperial decree and will be brutally suppressed by the committee.

This time, he gained the favor of the head of state for fighting against the disaster. From now on, as long as he does not cause big trouble, it is equivalent to acquiescing to his existence.

Initially, everything was peaceful, firstly because the "recording meeting" was low-key, and secondly because of the presence of Chairman Parra.

During his tenure, Paracelsus had friendships with many secret societies and was able to balance and control the situation that was originally undercurrent.

Therefore, I also turned a blind eye to the "recording meeting".

But once the chairman of the committee retires.

It's hard to say what will happen in the future.

"Okay, you two go to the reception room and wait for a while. I have something to explain to Gilan."

Caesar chuckled.

Aurora and Franco bowed quickly and excused themselves very wisely. A female guard quickly stepped forward and respectfully led the two of them out of the courtyard.

"Gilan, you did a great job."

Caesar's red eyes were deep and there was a smile on his lips.

"I'm in a good mood after the 'poet' was frustrated this time. What reward do you want?"

Gilan was not shy. Following the advice of his teacher Parra, he stated his needs straightforwardly:

"Führer, in this battle, I overused alchemy, which caused serious damage to the 'Philosopher's Stone' in my body, so I plan to refine another one..."

"Thank you so much for your hard work."

Caesar's eyes softened and he sighed.

"This request is very reasonable, but even when I led the knights in battle, I would not give my subordinates a new set of equipment as a reward because their equipment was damaged."

"I will order someone to give you double the materials you need, but this is not a reward, it is just compensation..."

Ji Lan was startled, thought for a moment, and said:

"Führer, I need level 6 secrets."

"Is it secret?" Caesar put his hands behind his back and nodded. "I know that the path you are taking, although it is the Sword of the Forge, is not the path of February where the 'director' is, but a brand new path. It is reasonable to need other secrets as a reference..."

"I will give you all the sixth-level secrets of the four spiral paths of the body, how about it?"

Caesar laughed.

Hearing this, Ji Lan was overjoyed.

Four copies of level 6 secrets will be of great help to the "Beautiful" deduction, and will certainly significantly reduce the number of mystery points required for the deduction!

"Thank you, Head of State."

Gillan crossed his arms and saluted.

But Caesar shook his head.

"Don't thank me in a hurry. These are not enough. You can continue."

"Huh?" Jilan was stunned.

"You have made great contributions and your feats have far-reaching impact, which is far beyond what this reward can compare with."

Caesar spoke softly and nodded.

"Say it."

Jilan looked at the red curly-haired young man in front of him, who seemed to be "the same age" as himself, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I want money..."

"Money?" This time, Caesar raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Gillan to make such a demand.

"Of course, no problem." He smiled and said, "Continue."

Seeing that he could still make demands, Ji Lan thought about it and said in a deep voice:

"Führer, I want to collect fragments of a real film called "Curtain Call."

Hearing this, Caesar's eyes paused for a moment, and then he lowered his eyes.

A pair of red eyes were lost in endless thoughts, which seemed to be reminiscences and emotions, extremely complicated.

Gilan noticed something unusual about the head of state, but didn't dare to ask questions. He just lowered his head silently.

"……Can."

Caesar spoke.

"A friend of mine happens to have a fragment in his hands, but you may have to wait a little longer."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Gilan saluted again, feeling happy in his heart.

Caesar smiled and nodded.

But those deep red eyes still contained thoughts that were difficult to fathom.

…

…

When leaving the Sifang Palace, Aurora and Franco still felt unreal.

They stopped for a moment on the steps in front of the gate of Sifang Palace and looked back.

"I never expected that this is the true face of the Head of State, and that he is so young..."

Franco sighed deeply.

Aurora nodded repeatedly and smiled.

"The Head of State is indeed as Mr. Gillan said, very approachable. Although I am still a little in awe when facing him, I am not as nervous as I imagined."

Ji Lan smiled silently from the side.

He did not tell the two of them the true identity of Caesar's head. This was not a distrust, but a kind of protection.

Because it involves the secret history of the "Remnant King", everything is so sensitive and dangerous. When the time is right, he will naturally inform the four members of the "Hand of Dawn".

But not now.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Gilan raised his hand to indicate the key in his hand and smiled.

Aurora and Franco looked at each other and nodded.

The two have stayed in the capital for more than half a month. Now that Gilan has woken up, they should leave and return to their respective forces to report.

Although they are a little reluctant, it is a blessing to be together.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Gilan."

Aurora lowered her head and said softly.

Gilan took two steps closer and personally smoothed a messy strand of hair on her forehead behind her ears, and then put his hands on her shoulders.

"Don't be sad, there will be a day in the future when we can all gather together in the world."

"Yes!" Aurora blushed and nodded heavily.

…

…

That day, Gillan sent his two companions to the station and waved goodbye until the train disappeared from sight.

After nightfall, he just drove back to the Morales Street apartment, and the old butler Charles came to greet him excitedly with the maids.

The young master had been away for more than half a month, and the butler and servants had learned about the terrible disaster in Coburn City through the neighbors and even newspapers and broadcasts.

They knew that Gillan was busy with this matter, and they couldn't help but worry about his safety.

Of course, the Empire blocked most of the relevant information, and only announced to the outside that a cult organization carried out a terrorist attack in Coburn City with a new virus developed by the Federation.

Even some secret cults, even the upper class and the top officials of the Empire, did not know the truth behind Coburn City.

Involving the game between the superiors and the "Spirit King" trying to ascend to the god, no one knew except Gillan.

Gillan was surrounded and entered the apartment.

He comforted old Charles a few words, and did not let him add to his futile worries.

Life seemed to be back on track.

The next morning, the Sifang Palace sent two men and women in black clothes to hand over the rewards promised by the head of state to Jilan.

A large, precise and sturdy alchemy black box contained dozens of large and small silver metal cans, four parchment scrolls, a stack of white cards and a stack of gold Caesars.

Jilan carefully counted the materials for refining the "Philosopher's Stone" in the alchemy room in the attic and found that the materials for refining the "Philosopher's Stone" even included a high concentration of "Evil Sand".

This means two things.

First, the head of state knows the formula and refining method of the "Philosopher's Stone" very well.

Second, Jilan does not need to use the glass beads he has accumulated as materials, which greatly saves potential points.

"Head of State Caesar is really generous, and he has nothing to say about his own people."

Jilan smiled.

These materials are enough to refine two "Philosopher's Stones" and there are still surpluses.

As for the white cards, there are 50 of them!

Together with the 10 in Jilan's hand, there are 60!

This is a considerable amount of mysterious wealth.

If the difficulty of purchase and premium are put aside, the market value alone is at least more than 60,000 Caesars!

And there are also 5 stacks of "100" large-denomination Caesar gold foil banknotes, which is 50,000.

It can be said that Jilan will not be short of money for a long time in the future.

After carefully reading the last four parchment scrolls, Jilan learned the names of the 6th-level essences of the four paths of the body spiral.

They are:

The body sword, the "demon" of the "gladiator" in March.

The body holy grail, the "perfect man" of the "Lady Ya" in June.

The body star coin, the "cuckoo" of the "crippled king" in December.

The body scepter, the "lord" of the "blind general" in November.

Jilan spent a whole morning and half an afternoon, repeatedly pondering the secret contents on the parchment, and then he understood them thoroughly.

After all, the 6th level is the limit of the world, and the esoteric teachings are more profound than before. In addition, the paper media esoteric teachings are far less easy to understand than the oral esoteric teachings, so it took a little more time.

Jilan tried to "feed" them to "Banlan", and then used the "scenery" esoteric teachings as the core to deduce the original 6th level.

"Banlan" gave the required points:

"8000."

Originally, 20,000 points were required to deduce the "player" 6th level out of thin air. Adding the "scenery" esoteric teachings alone reduced it to 12,000.

Now, adding the four-path esoteric teachings of the body spiral, it reduced another 4,000 points, and 8,000 points were needed.

Jilan was not in a hurry to deduce.

He wanted to try to achieve his goal, that is, to collect all the 6th-level esoteric teachings of the twelve paths, so that "Banlan" could deduce an extremely powerful essence.

This can also greatly reduce the points required.

For a period of time, Jilan did not go out.

He got a month's vacation, so he took advantage of this time to practice hard and strive to advance to level 6 as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also took time to go to the "Chessboard Garden" and tried to refine the "Philosopher's Stone" alone.

With his current alchemy attainments, he made almost no mistakes and perfectly refined a new "Philosopher's Stone" to replace the one in his body.

Time flies.

Soon it was the end of May.
