From Prisoner to Si Chen

The projection of the old man and the female owner of the bookstore looked at each other, both of them confused as to what "Red Sage" meant.

But Walter didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just silently took out a huge photo album half a man's height.

Wow.

He flipped through it several times before stopping on a certain page.

He immediately turned around the photo album and showed it to Gillan. He stretched out his thick index finger and clicked on a few photos in the upper left corner.

"Mr. Gillan, this is the interior scene of Great Library No. 1, and these pictures are of the surrounding environment."

Originally, these photos belonged to the top secrets of the "Condensation Bookstore" and could never be shown to outsiders. After all, the specific location of the big library would be exposed.

But "Red Sage" Gilan Iros is an exception.

Putting aside the status and strength of this legendary figure, "Condensation Bookstore" cannot afford to offend him at all.

Just saying that He had personally come forward to deal with the bookstore's old enemy "Withered Nobles" so that the other party would not dare to trouble "Molan Bookstore" again was enough for the bookstore to make an exception.

What's more, there are only a dozen or so distinguished guests in the bookstore in the past hundred years. They are all extremely outstanding figures of the times, masters in various fields, and can be called "seeds of ascension."

But the "Red Sage" in front of him is actually a real ascendant!

As the bookstore manager, how dare Walter dare to neglect?

Gillan glanced at the photos in the album.

The interior scene of No. 1 Great Library is very spacious and full of historical charm. The decoration and furnishings inside are quite retro and medieval style.

As for the surrounding environment, it is on a paradise-like island, with a clear view of the lighthouse, suspension bridge and lush countryside.

"Well, that's okay."

Gilan withdrew his gaze and said to Walter.

After the old man closed the photo album and put it away, he said with some uncertainty:

"Mr. Gillan, I happen to be in the No. 1 Library now, so I will wait for your visit."

"Okay." Jilan nodded. "I'll be there soon."

He turned around, held his hat and nodded towards Cecilia.

After signaling, before the lady had time to react, she felt a flash in front of her eyes, and the purple-eyed young man disappeared instantly.

Cecilia was stunned.

Immediately, she saw Mr. Walter's projection suddenly turn his head and look behind him.

The old man looked shocked and opened his mouth.

"Ji...Mr. Gillan?!"

Cecilia immediately understood something and showed an incredulous expression.

Mr. Gillan just glanced at the photo and teleported to the No. 1 Grand Library? !

Wow.

Just at this moment, Walter's projection disappeared.

Cecilia was left in a daze in the bookstore.

…

…

Jilan relied on his special ability of "fast movement" of the seventh-level "cheating" essence to directly arrive inside the No. 1 Great Library.

The library administrator, Mr. Walter Van Cleef, was standing at the door of a hall, looking at the purple-eyed young man who suddenly appeared in front of him with a look of astonishment.

At this moment, Walter couldn't believe his eyes. One second the other party was far away from the capital of the empire, Muse City, and the next second he had crossed a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers and was in front of him.

"Is this the strongest person in the world today?"

Walter's heart was in turmoil.

"With just one photo, he can move instantly regardless of spatial distance. This is simply a miracle of mysticism... It's no wonder that he was able to escape calmly under the siege of the Federation."

At this time, Gilan had already stepped forward.

Walter quickly retracted his thoughts, adjusted his mentality, respectfully took off his old leather beret, saluted the legend in front of him, and extended his hand to greet:

"This should be our first real meeting, Mr. Red Sage."

"Indeed."

Ji Lan stretched out his hand to shake it and said politely.

Walter held his wooden crutch, bowed slightly, and pointed towards the archway at the back of the library.

"Sir, please come with me."

Ji Lan nodded and followed the old man inside.

After passing through the arch, the two entered a more spacious hall. The floor was more than ten meters high, and there were rows of giant bookcases four or five meters high, filled with books.

On the innermost left and right sides, there are wooden spiral staircases leading to the upper level.

Floral chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the hall, and there are decorations such as deer heads, bear heads, lion heads, swords and shields, armor and flags on the walls.

In the quiet environment, there were only sporadic footsteps and the sound of turning books. Because Gillan saw that besides him and Walter, there were some readers here.

These people dress in different styles, including modern suits, basques, jeans, and retro robes and dresses.

‘Well, the strength of these people is not weak, they are basically all long-term people... among them there are four or five at level 6. ’

Ji Lan silently glanced past, looking at the men, women, old and children standing in front of the bookshelf or sitting on the floor, and thought to himself.

He thought about it too, how could a mysterious person who was qualified to come to the Great Library be a simple person.

"Sir, please rest and wait here for a while. I will ask the attendant to look through the collection directory and find the film fragments for you as soon as possible."

At this time, the old man stopped, gestured to the leather sofa not far away, and said apologetically.

"Okay." Jilan nodded in agreement.

Walter saluted, then walked upstairs with his cane. As he moved, the buckle around his waist holding hundreds of keys rattled.

At this time, two old men in black robes who were standing by a large bookshelf not far away saw this scene and looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"Who is that young man?"

One of them, a skinny old man with a white beard reaching his chest, asked softly.

"Walter Van Cleef, the bookstore's chief librarian, had such respect for him."

"I don't know, I've never seen it."

Another dark-skinned old man with messy hair shook his head.

"We have been living in seclusion in the library for more than ten years. How do we know about the outside world... It is probably the 'ascension seeds' that have only appeared in these years."

The two old men were both sixth-level veterans. They unfolded their spiritual vision in tacit understanding and observed the young man on the sofa.

But in the next second, their expressions changed dramatically.

Because the spiritual outline of the young man actually shone with colorful brilliance, even causing their own gnosis to be slightly traumatized!

"hiss……"

The two old hermits gasped at the sting of their souls.

They looked at each other and saw the shocked expression on the other's face.

"Who is he?! Does this level of spiritual brilliance really exist in this world?!"

The two turned around and saw the young man on the sofa looking at them, as if they had already noticed the prying eyes just now.

The purple-eyed young man smiled slightly, held his hat and nodded, signaling from afar.

The two old men couldn't help but look solemn and quickly returned the salute. They felt more and more that this young man was not simple, and that he seemed to be shrouded in an unpredictable sense of mystery.

"Is it the superior person?"

The two of them came up with this idea at the same time.

Immediately, the look he looked at Gilan became respectful.

Although the subtle interaction between the two old hermits and Gillan was hidden, it was also noticed by many other readers, making them all curious about the young man on the sofa.

Soon, Walter returned to the hall from upstairs.

Behind him was a blond young man wearing light blue retro clothing, who seemed to be a library servant.

Gillan noticed that Walter's face was quite ugly.

When the old man approached, he saluted Ji Lan and said apologetically:

"Sir, after checking, the library does store the film fragments you need, but I'm very sorry that the film fragments were borrowed by a customer a few months ago."

"Borrowed it?"

Ji Lan frowned slightly.

Seeing him frowning, Walter's heart thumped and he quickly explained:

"Yes, according to the bookstore's rules, guests can temporarily take over library collections if they follow the principle of 'equivalent exchange'."

"When will the guest return the fragments?"

Gilan thought for a while and asked.

Walter hesitated for a moment and said:

"It stands to reason that the guest's loan period is three months, and it is now almost two weeks overdue..."

"Since it's overdue, won't your bookstore pursue the case?"

Jilan said calmly.

Walter suddenly looked embarrassed and said in a deep voice:

"Under normal circumstances, yes, but... the identity of that guest is a bit special, and the bookstore's senior management doesn't want to offend him because of this trivial matter."

"I see."

Gillan hummed.

He actually understands the bookstore's position. This secret society has always liked to win over and make friends with big figures. This can be seen from the "platinum loan cards" issued by the bookstore to distinguished guests.

But he had to get the spin-off movie left by the "director" no matter what. After all, it involved his own future.

So Gillan will not give up easily.

"I am bound to get the fragments, and there is no need to discuss this matter. If you are unwilling to take the initiative to take back the fragments, then I can come forward for you..."

Jilan said calmly.

Hearing this, Walter was shocked.

Of course he understood the subtext of "Red Sage", and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and at the same time he felt inexplicably relieved.

At this time, Jilan looked at the old man and asked:

"Who is that guest?"

Hearing his inquiry, the blond young man behind Walter was stunned for a moment, then whispered back:

"Sorry sir, according to the rules of the bookstore, guests cannot be disclosed..."

"Shut up!"

Walter quickly stopped him and whispered to Gillan:

"Sir, the guest's name is Angus Carriel. He is a sixth-level long-timer. At the same time, he also possesses the 'Apostle Brand'..."

"Apostle candidate?" Ji Lan raised his eyebrows. "interesting."

"Do you know which Si Chen is paying attention to him?"

"It should be the one from June..."

Walt revealed his speculation to Gillan.

"The genius that 'Mrs. Ya' likes?"

Ji Lan's lips curled up, showing interest.

He asked Walter again where the guy named Angus was, and the old man said that he was living in seclusion in the manor area behind the big library.

This saves a lot of trouble.

"In that case, Mr. Walter, please lead the way."

Jilan said calmly.

The old man took a deep breath, led the attendants behind him, and walked out of the hall.

Although the conversation between the two was quiet, it was obvious in the silent hall, and most of the other readers who stayed here could hear it with their keen senses.

Everyone was surprised and curious, so they put down the books in their hands and followed quietly, including the two old hermits.
