From Prisoner to Si Chen

After lunch, everyone went upstairs one after another with heavy hearts.

But Mr. Stork stopped Ji Lan, as if he wanted to discuss something with him.

"Mr. Stork?" Gillan asked.

"Well, that's it." Mr. Stork spoke briefly before speaking: "The friend from the north I was talking about at the dinner table just now is actually a member of the 'recording meeting'."

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

Are there more than just the four people in the apartment who are members of the recording committee?

"Actually, the 'Record Society' is a large secret society, and the society I preside over is only a small branch... There are other branches located throughout the empire, but they have little contact with each other."

Mr. Stork seemed to see Gillan's confusion and explained.

"The member who contacted me this time is a friend I met many years ago. Her codename is 'Wood Pigeon'... According to her, she learned about it from a real film called "Hammer of Justice" He discovered a secret about the legacy of an alchemist."

Mr. Stork paused for a moment and lowered his tone:

"The inheritance is in the city of Braque, and the alchemist's name is 'Sabotey Louis'. What did you think of?"

"The Lewis family!"

Ji Lan narrowed his eyes and blurted out.

Mr. Stork nodded, his eyes deep.

"Yes, this alchemist is an ancestor of the Lewis family, and it can be confirmed that he has been dead for many years and left a mysterious legacy!"

As he said that, Mr. Stork turned to look at Gillan.

"Ms. Wood Pigeon intends to find this inheritance. She has clear clues in her hand, but she is now trapped in the slums and cannot get out. Moreover, Leighton Lewis, the head of the Lewis family, has become aware of her existence and has sent his henchmen to hunt her down. she."

"It was under this last resort that she asked me for help and promised that as long as I helped her escape and get the inheritance, she would share half of the profits with me."

"How about it, Mr. Snow Owl, are you interested in helping me?"

Mr. Stork asked.

"In our collective, you are the only one with the best skills. I can trust you... No matter whether the matter is successful or not, I will pay you 200 caesars as a reward. If it succeeds, I will divide another part of the inheritance."

Gilan was lost in thought. Mr. Stork did not rush him, but just waited quietly.

Not only can he attack the Lewis family, but he can also get a lot of reward. He is still happy to take this job... The most important thing is that Gillan now has a certain ability to protect himself.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice:

"When will we do it?"

Mr. Stork smiled when he heard this and said immediately:

"Changes will come later, take action tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Jilan nodded.

As night fell, the rain became heavier.

It was pouring rain outside the window, crackling.

Jilan sat cross-legged on the bed, closing her eyes and meditating.

In the darkness, the black iron ball he visualized began to squirm, and six sharp iron thorns pierced into his consciousness!

Crack! !

A bolt of lightning flashed across the dark curtain of the rainy night, bursting into white-purple light.

rumble……

There was thunder and thunder, and the rain continued.

The electric light briefly illuminated the dark room, and the figure originally sitting cross-legged on the bed suddenly changed into a twisted and weird posture.

He covered his tilted head with both hands, arched his body, and kept shaking.

The eyes were round and the mouth was open, as if he was suffering from unparalleled pain.

When the lightning disappeared, only a blurry outline remained.

Ji Lan felt pain all over his body and even deep in his heart. His Adam's apple rolled, but he could not make a sound.

In the silent night, there was only the sound of rain, thunder, and the sound of his heartbeat.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom! !

"Hoo..."

Finally, Gilan regained control of his body.

The out-of-body feeling of separation from consciousness disappeared, and he instinctively wailed.

Immediately, he fell heavily on the bed.

Jilan gasped and breathed heavily, sweating all over.

His eyes were extremely bright in the darkness, as if there was light.

‘I feel it! I felt it clearly! ’

Jilan rolled his eyes. There was obviously nothing in the air in the room, but he sensed it through an indescribable "perspective". There were countless dust-like particles floating around, emitting four colors of light.

Scarlet, blue, golden and gray-black.

Like a swarm of fireflies, flying around the room.

This kind of "perspective" is not seen through the eyes, but the perception from the inside out. If you insist on describing it, it would be like appearing out of thin air in your mind, like an imagination.

Gillan knew that this was "gnosis induction".

It can also be called "spiritual vision".

Click.

He stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled the cord of the bedside lamp. Suddenly a warm light illuminated the area around the bed.

With the colorful light twisting, a red leather handbook appeared in Jilan's hand.

‘With my current gnosis, I should be able to read the entire secret record, right? ’

He couldn't wait to turn the pages.

Suddenly, Jilan's face became overjoyed.

The originally distorted and blurry handwriting became clear!

He really saw the black writing!

"good!"

Immediately, he began to read from the first page of "Secret Book of Branding Iron" and carefully read every word recorded by the author Sade Balbina:

"First of all, before entering the mysterious realm, please allow me to tell you, the reader, what the 'Path of the Fire Sword' is. This is related to your future understanding of mystery."

"The path for mortals to know, understand, and master the mystery is called the 'Road of the Fire Sword.' This process is bumpy and long, but if you can reach the top, you can also become the mystery itself."

To the right of the text on this page is a hand-drawn drawing.

It was a cross sword with the tip pointed downward. The sword was in flames, and the flames were in the form of three fire pillars, spiraling around the sword.

The tip of the sword, the weak sword part, the strong sword part, both sides of the sword blade, the middle ridge, the edgeless part, the cross guard, the hilt and the pommel, etc., all have very mysterious and unfamiliar words marked in small letters.

The flame parts of the three spiral fire pillars also correspond to the names.

Densely packed with more than a hundred words in total.

A strong mysterious charm rushed towards Ji Lan.

"In the 'Path of the Fire Sword', 'fire' symbolizes the triple spiral, namely the three realms of body, furnace and theosophy. It also corresponds to the three major schools in the world, astrology, alchemy and magic."

"The 'sword' symbolizes the stage of the tenth level of essence."

"Omer, the 'noon dawn' representing July, is the original Si Chen. It is his brilliance that illuminates the path forward for mankind. It is also he who stole the power of the four great Si Sui and created the 'Road of the Fire Sword'. "

"Therefore, in the triple spiral, the sword symbolizing 'spring and fire', the holy grail symbolizing 'summer and water', the star coin symbolizing 'autumn and wind', and the scepter symbolizing 'winter and earth' are the four paths. This opens up twelve roads leading to Si Chen."

"As a writer, I, Sade Balbina, am a fifth-level long-lived person on the path of the 'Pentacle Coin'... The end of this path is Sichen's 'Twin Kite', which symbolizes the month of May. .”

"My essence is the 'secret box', which has the power to seal and utilize secrets."

Gillan stared feverishly at the page.

The author Sade also explained the common names of the ten primary qualities above.

Levels 1 to 3 are collectively called "spiritual mystics".

Levels 4 to 6 are called "long-lived ones" because people at this stage begin to have a natural lifespan beyond the ordinary.

Levels 7 to 8 are "transformers" with very few descriptions.

The 9th level is "Apostle", and the 10th level is "Sichen".

The last two stages only have a name and a paragraph, and other than that, there is not much description.

That passage is also excerpted from another book by Sade Balbina, "Tiangong Documents", which is described as follows:

"Si Chen is a god who lives outside the world and is the incarnation of the laws of the world."

"Most of them were once human beings and ascended from humans, so they are also called the 'New Gods'."

"Apostles are Si Chen's servants and were called 'angels' in ancient times."

"Si Chen is sitting on the twelve highest seats. There can be only a few, but not more. There are four apostles under the seats. The same reason applies. There can be only a few, but not more. Under the apostles, there are four transformations, and the same reason applies."

"People's alertness, the rise and fall of civilizations, the survival of species..."

"The passion of creation, the hymn of courage, the redemption of the lost..."

"These are all the results of Si Chen's unintentional ripples falling in the world and his achievements in the material world."

Thanks to "Kopcn" for the 200 points reward!
