From Prisoner to Si Chen

Jacobin Opera House.

This is a landmark building in the capital and a performing arts center known throughout the Owena Commonwealth.

It is a wonder known to all countries in the world.

The construction of this building started in 1886 AD and was not officially put into use until 1900, which lasted 14 years. According to rumors, huge manpower and material resources were invested in this building, and the designer was an extremely mysterious master in the field of architectural sculpture.

After the theater was completed, the man disappeared.

But Gillan knew clearly that this mysterious designer was the earthly alter ego of the June apostle "Stonemason" Anthony Rotti.

The information came from the top secrets of the Imperial Council, and it was only after he became chairman that he was able to read such secrets.

The Jacobin Opera House covers an area of ​​about 20,000 square meters, equivalent to one-third of the "Square Palace".

It has a 3,000-seat concert hall, a 2,000-seat opera house and two 400-seat small theaters, as well as about 1,000 large and small rooms such as exhibition halls, recording studios, bars, restaurants and dance halls.

It can be called a castle integrating art and entertainment.

The exterior wall of the theater is smooth and white, with pink patterns. The shape is also very avant-garde, highly innovative and artistic. Its top is staggered with two nested structures of arc-shaped ceilings, which look like rising waves. However, when viewed from the front, it looks like two swans crossing their necks expressing love.

At this moment.

There are dense crowds of people outside the Grand Opera House, including local celebrities in the capital and wealthy people traveling from other places. They are dressed in fine clothes, preparing to enter the Grand Opera House to enjoy concerts, operas, dances, or other entertainment projects.

The extremely luxurious decoration spread from the theater to the outside. The colorful lights bloom and twinkle, especially eye-catching at night, and can be seen from miles away.

Gilan wore a scarlet turtleneck trench coat, paired with a white shirt and a royal blue suit vest. He walked through the crowd carrying a white cane, but he was inconspicuous.

Because the clothes of the people around him were far more exaggerated and weird than his, this was the aesthetic atmosphere of the Owena Federation, known as the "Art Country".

His outfit was also made casually when he left the bar stronghold. But the purpose is not to blend in with the crowd, it's just a matter of spontaneity.

Gillan felt that since he came to the Federation to hunt in the name of the "Red Sage", he might as well dress in scarlet to suit the occasion.

He mingled in the queue, spent 5 gold knives (equivalent to the purchasing power of 10 Caesars in the Bremen Empire) at the ticket office at the entrance to buy a ticket, and then walked into the Grand Opera House.

As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a spacious hall that is magnificent and magnificent.

The shiny white patterned tiles reflect the twinkling chandeliers, sparkling and extremely luxurious.

From the moment he walked into the hall, Gilan had already used his gnosis and spiritual vision to search for the location of the members of the "Chorus".

However, what surprised him was that there were many mysterious people hidden among the thousands of people in the Grand Opera House.

Most of these guys are in the 1st and 2nd level, and a few are in the 3rd level mystic stage. They are not members of the "Chorus", but more like lone mystics.

Gilan secretly lamented that the mysterious atmosphere in the Federation was far stronger than that in the Empire. In the capital Jacobin, although mysterious people could not be seen everywhere, they were not rare either.

At this time, Gilan suddenly stopped.

Because his gnosis captured the mysterious magnetic field emitted by the higher-order spiritual kingdom.

There are quite a few of these high-level mystics and they are gathering together.

‘I found you. ’

Ji Lan secretly thought, his eyes indifferent.

'In the innermost concert hall...'

After he found his target, he turned around and headed straight for the aisle on the right.

But at this moment.

The crowd in front burst into uproar, accompanied by violent noises.

Ji Lan could vaguely see several colorful ladies in exaggerated clothes and makeup, wearing high-collared flared tutu skirts, quarreling with others.

Soon, another group of federal soldiers wearing tan military uniforms appeared. They were armed with live ammunition and drove away the crowd forcefully.

Along with the sizzling sound of electricity, a broadcast sounded throughout the opera house, and it was a sweet female voice:

"Dear distinguished guests, here is an emergency notice. According to orders from superiors, the opera house's concert hall, opera hall and many other facilities require emergency maintenance and repairs, so they are temporarily closed tonight."

"We also ask all distinguished guests to leave the venue in an orderly manner. Tickets and purchases can be refunded in full with the voucher at the exit... The Jacobin Grand Opera House expresses its most sincere apologies to you."

"Um?!"

"What the hell? Why did it suddenly close and stop opening?!"

"Hey! Call your person in charge to come out!"

"Why are there troops here?"

"Something serious must have happened, let's go!"

The radio started playing in a loop again, and the gentlemen and ladies in the crowd were making noisy noises, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the Grand Opera House's actions.

However, due to the appearance of the army and their forced eviction, many people realized that things were not that simple, so they quickly left the venue, not wanting to stay in the opera house for a moment longer.

The costumed crowd began to walk back.

But Jilan had no intention of stopping. He carried his cane, crossed with the crowd, and continued walking in with a calm expression.

‘It seems that… the top leaders of the Federation have finally reacted. They know that after I get rid of the “White Dove Tower” and the “Ascetic Sect”, the next target will be the “Chorus”, so they sent armed forces to surround the Jacobin Grand Opera House. ’

Gilan guessed that at this time, there were probably a large number of people ambushed outside the Grand Opera House.

And the high-end combat power of the Federation must be on the way, and even have already arrived at the Grand Opera House, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

His current situation is just like his teacher Pala, who was surrounded by the Federation.

But Gilan didn't care.

If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

And Gilan's target was very clear, the secret society "Chorus" and the high-end combat power of the Federation that came to support.

If he didn't kill them all, how could he leave easily?

“Heh…”

Gilan chuckled.

His behavior of walking in alone with a cane quickly attracted the attention of the crowd and the army.

Although the radio was still repeating the notice of "closing the theater and persuading people to leave", and the army was strictly guarding the front, the purple-eyed young man still walked in, which was hard not to attract attention.

"Sir, please go back."

A federal lieutenant officer leading the team spoke coldly.

He raised his hand to signal, his expression indifferent.

"The Grand Opera House is under control, and no one is allowed to enter."

"..."

However, Jilan didn't even look at him.

It was as if this officer was air.

He walked leisurely in the same posture and movements, holding his cane and walking towards the army.

"Sir, I warn you again!"

The lieutenant frowned and shouted.

"If you keep persuading and continue to force your way in, we will use force to arrest you!"

Swish!

Several soldiers around the lieutenant took their guns, stepped forward, formed a human wall, and blocked Jilan in front.

The officer's serious shout echoed in the corridor, and many gentlemen and ladies stopped and cast interested eyes as if they were watching the fun.

However, no one saw that a palm-sized enchanting figure flew out from the young man's fingers.

"Get out of the way! Don't block the master's way!"

Weiwei flew on Jilan's shoulder, put her hands on her hips, and scolded.

In an instant.

Dozens of soldiers, including the second lieutenant officer, suddenly looked confused, and then all made way.

Jilan remained calm and silently passed the army.

This strange scene immediately made the group of gentlemen and ladies dumbfounded, not knowing what happened.

However, several mysterious people hidden in the crowd saw the existence of the little demon through their spiritual vision and showed surprise.

These people looked at each other and quietly left the crowd. After Jilan left, they also followed through the military blockade and entered the interior of the Grand Opera House.

They either felt that it was profitable or curious, and their motives were different. They planned to follow the purple-eyed young man to find out.

Several people entered another hall inside, which was originally a place for ticket checking, consultation, and selling snacks and drinks, but now it was empty.

But soon, they found that several more waves of scattered mysterious people had slipped in through the army's blockade.

These waves of people looked at each other and tacitly did not talk to each other. Instead, they found the location of the concert hall and walked in one after another.

When they first entered, they were all stunned.

Because in the spacious but dim concert hall, the huge stage was shining with spotlights, and thirty or forty men and women in white robes and silver-plated masks stood on the stage.

At the front, there was a tall one-armed man wearing a military uniform and a high-collared windbreaker. The man had a cross sword inlaid with gems slung across his waist, and he confronted the purple-eyed young man holding a white stick in the audience with an expressionless face.

"Ordinary soldiers really don't have a good way to deal with mysterious people, so so many little bugs slipped in."

The one-armed man on the stage spoke slowly.

He glanced at the dozen mysterious people standing at the door, then retracted his gaze and looked at Jilan in the audience.

"I'll deal with these guys after I've dealt with you."

The dozen mysterious people who sneaked into the theater after being glanced at by Hermann felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their whole bodies were cold.

They didn't know the one-armed man on the stage, nor had they seen the purple-eyed young man in the audience, but at this moment, they all realized that they seemed to have entered a place they shouldn't have been.

Just as these people were thinking that it was not good and were about to turn around and leave. They all froze and dared not move.

Because the door behind them was closed at some point, and two more men and women in robes and masks appeared.

The man and woman exuded a powerful aura that only the long-lived had, which frightened the dozen lone mysterious people.

The retreat was blocked, and there was no way to escape!

Fortunately, the two "Holy Choir" high-level officials did not attack them, but only used their aura to intimidate them, and then looked at the purple-eyed young man in the audience.

"Hermann, are you going to protect this group of "Holy Choir" members?"

Gilan held the white cane and looked at the masked men and women behind the one-armed man, and said calmly.

"Shelter?" Hellmann shook his head and said, "You seem to have made a mistake, Pala's student."

"I am not protecting the 'Holy Choir', I am simply here to hunt you, the new chairman of the empire."

"It seems that your teacher's death has had a great impact on you. You even risked your life to come to the Federation to avenge him? You even took a name similar to him, 'Red Sage'?"

"Heh, although I admire your behavior, I have to say that this is an extremely stupid thing to do. Because you will definitely die, and after tonight, the empire will lose another high-end combat force with unlimited potential."

Hearing this, Jilan's mood was calm.

He said lightly:

"I will clean up all the people and forces who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the teacher, including the 'Holy Choir'. And you, 'Blood Colonel' Herman."

"Although this is just a body you left in the world, if it is destroyed, it will be a serious injury, and it will make you feel pain, right?"

"Jilan Ilos, you are really like the rumors, acting eccentrically and arrogant... That's right, only Pala can teach a student like you."

Herman laughed.

He slowly put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"I remember he said before he died that your outstanding student would make the Owena Federation tremble with fear and be in awe?"

"Then, let me see what you can do!"

After that, there was a clang.

Hellman had already drawn his sword and slashed at Gillan from the audience.

Swish!!

This sword slashed out a blood-red sword light several meters long.

And Gillan held the staff in his left hand and swung his right hand.

In his right hand, an ancient knight's sword appeared out of thin air. He swung out a dazzling silver sword light and fought with Hellman in the air.

Dang!!

The terrifying shock wave blew away the high-end leather seats around, and the alloy frame and screws of the base were all pulled out and scattered.

The loud ping-pong and clang noises continued.

"Huh?" Hellman recognized the sword in Gillan's hand, but laughed. "Isn't that my former sword? William gave it to you? Do you want me to take over my position as Knight Commander?"

"But are you qualified?"

He said, and slashed three times in a row.

Swish, swish, swish! !

The interlaced blood-red sword curtains crushed towards Jilan.

Jilan's expression was calm, and he still waved the knight's sword in his right hand, attacking with silver sword light.

The deafening rumble echoed in the concert hall, directly causing the dozen mysterious people standing at the door dozens of meters away to look pale and feel nauseous.

"Ah!"

Someone knelt on the ground, covering his ears, and coughed up blood.

"The aftermath of the fight alone has injured me. The kingdom of the mind is shaking and is about to collapse... This won't work! I can't stay here anymore! Otherwise, I will definitely die!"

The others looked painful, endured the discomfort, and begged for mercy from the two "Chorus" high-level people guarding the door.

However, the masked man and woman were indifferent to their pleas, and they still stared at the fight between the two strong men in the field.

Boom boom boom!!

Herman and Gillan fought dozens of swords on the stage, and both sides were unharmed.

At this time, Gillan spoke lightly:

"Herman, don't play these tricks. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't take it seriously, you won't have a chance."

"So arrogant."

Herman grinned.

He immediately grasped the hilt of the gem cross sword, jumped off the stage, and slashed Gillan's head with a sword. The rustling windbreaker drove the blood mist like waves, and the momentum was terrifying.

Boom! !

Seeing this, Gillan still held the knight sword with one hand and raised it up fearlessly to meet the attack.

At the same time, he said in his heart:

'Attributes are rebuilt. '

On his own panel, agility and endurance were successively taken away by 10 points, and the 20 points of attributes added together were temporarily increased to strength at this moment.

Dang!!!

When the two swords collided, there was a loud noise and dazzling sparks, illuminating the entire concert hall.

Hermann's expression suddenly changed.
