From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 325 Tell the truth
After hanging up the "Alchemy Hotline", Gillan left the quiet room.

It is now past eight o'clock in the evening, and most of the facilities in the public areas of the underground miasma shelter have been shut down. Even the lights in the passages are only a few scattered.

It looks a little dim and very quiet.

Most of the soldiers returned to their living rooms, either reading or falling asleep.

This is also a necessary measure to save energy.

Guillen walked alone through several passages before finding the sitting room where the ladies were and knocking on the door.

Tuk Tuk.

Click.

The door was opened by Maiev. She seemed to have just taken a shower. She was wearing a white low-cut nightgown and wiping her wet hair with a towel.

Seeing Ji Lan, she was a little surprised, but she was not shy. Instead, she smiled and said:
"Mr. Gillan, do you want to come in and sit down?"

"No." Gillan said.

He glanced into the room and found Ms. Theresa, wearing a turtleneck gray sweater, sitting on the sofa and reading the information carefully.

Kaya was only wearing a pink tank top and shorts, lying on the lower floor of the bunk bed, playing with building blocks and swinging her legs in boredom.

"I have something to do with Ms. Teresa."

Gillan expressed his intention.

Maiev raised her pretty eyebrows, then turned back and called to the lady on the sofa.

Ms. Teresa put down the information, stood up and walked to the door, while Maiev also left voluntarily.

"Jilan, what do you want from me?"

The lady smiled and said softly.

Jilan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly:
"I would like to use your 'alchemy hotline' to make a call to Chairman Parra."

"You want to call the Chairman?"

Ms. Teresa was a little surprised.

It stands to reason that when gravediggers go out on official duties, they should communicate directly with the person in charge if they have any problems.

Let's not talk about whether it is against the rules to call the chairman of the committee beyond the level. Just talking about this kind of thing is actually disrespectful to the person in charge.

But Ms. Teresa did not refuse, but agreed very readily:

"No problem, just a moment."

After saying that, she turned back and took out a small metal microphone from the inner pocket of her coat.

After plugging in the mercury battery, he handed it to Gillan's hand. At the same time, he also asked thoughtfully:
"Need a confidential environment?"

"Thank you, if you can."

Jilan held the "hotline" and nodded.

Ms. Teresa made a gesture and walked out of the room.

Gilan followed her to an empty room next door.

"Let's call here."

"it is good."

Gillan found a metal chair to sit down and dialed Ms. Teresa's exclusive "hotline" for the person in charge.

After a period of monotonous beeps, the phone was picked up with a click, and Para's magnetic deep voice came:

"Hi, Teresa."

"Generalissimo, it's me, Gilan Iros."

"Huh?" Parra was a little surprised, but still smiled: "Jilan, what's the matter?"

"I investigated some important clues in Late Autumn Town and got confirmation from Mr. Yuniski. I would like to report them to you."

Jilan said solemnly.

"Yuniski..." Parra said softly, quite surprised. "Did the 'Old Staff Maker' tell you his real name?"

"Yes." Gillan glanced at Ms. Teresa sitting in front and said, "I have been promoted to level 4, Chairman Pala."

As soon as these words came out, Ms. Teresa suddenly looked up.

His expression was stunned and his eyes were shocked.

Even Parra on the other end of the "hotline" fell silent.

The scene was quiet for a while.

"Sooner than I expected..."

Paracelsus sighed.

"It's no wonder that Yunisky will tell you his real name and the inside information of 'Midnight Rose'... In your situation, it will be a matter of time before you become a formal member."

"I will personally recommend you later, Gilan."

"Thank you, Chairman." Gillan said.

"You're welcome. By the way, what did you want to report to me just now?"

Parra asked on the other end of the phone.

"Well, it's like this..."

Gilan informed Parra about the Blood Harbor gang and the "Golden Troop No. 7" behind it.

Moreover, it also explained that the local council colluded with the gangs to facilitate the other party's acquisition of the red whale heart, etc.

"The fallen leaves of the Mediterranean Sea hide many secrets. Not only whale oil batteries, but also many irreplaceable mysterious materials come from there."

Parra sighed.

"Actually, I have known for a long time that the Federation must have penetrated and arranged in the coastal area, just to get close to the source of materials and study blood sea creatures."

"How is the progress of your mission?"

he asked again.

Gilan answered honestly:
"We have prepared ships and energy, and will officially set sail tomorrow to the unknown island where the 'Nightmare Monument' is located to carry out the task of eradicating the monument."

"That's good, but you also need to be aware that the local council and the Blood Harbor gang may interfere."

Parra admonished.

"In addition, the Investigative Committee arrested several members of the 'Eclipse Society' in Bosvia. After interrogation, it was found that they also had arrangements in Ot City and were careful."

"I will pay attention." Gillan said.

Parra chuckled twice and paused briefly.

"In view of the complicated situation on your side, and for your convenience, I plan to promote you."

"Promotion?" Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Parra's voice came from the phone. "Now that you have been promoted to Kusei, I should also fulfill my promise and let you officially enter the center of power of the empire."

"I will retain your status as the 'gravedigger', but will remove you from your position as committee leader and transfer you to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as executive minister."

"Ah?" Ji Lan couldn't help but be surprised.

Executive Minister of Foreign Affairs?
What kind of job is this...

"Generally speaking, each department has only one minister, but they are just ordinary people...In fact, the executive ministers are served by core personnel of the empire, and they are all mystics and have the highest authority of the department."

Parra explained.

Hearing this, Gilan finally understood some official secrets of the empire.

"However, the formal procedures need to wait until you come back. You will first join the 'Knights of the Cross' and become a 'Knight of the Cross' of the empire."

Parra said again.

Gillan was confused.

"Similar to the 'Midnight Rose', one of the conditions for selection of the 'Knights of the Cross' is to be a person of long standing. In addition, they must have made outstanding contributions to the empire."

"Teresa is a member of the Knights."

"I see……"

Gillan looked enlightened and looked up at Ms. Teresa again, who responded with a smile.

"Speaking of the 'Knights of the Cross', you must be familiar with it, because its predecessor was the 'Knights of the Healing'."

Parra said again.

"There are also four knight captains, 'Silver Crown Knight' Agni Baldwin, 'Skull Melting Knight' Carl Rega, 'Silent Knight' Adams Celedonio...and me, 'White Staff' Knight'Pala Celsus."

"As for the head of the regiment, it is natural for the head of state to serve as the leader."

Hearing this introduction, Gilan was quite surprised.

"Where is the former 'Peaky Knight' Herman Tullio?"

He couldn't help but ask. Parra was silent for a few seconds and just said:
"He surrendered."

"?!" Ji Lan was stunned.

He really never thought that the knight captain under William would defect to the enemy...

"This matter involves secret history, so it's not appropriate to say more."

Parra changed the subject.

"In short, I will submit your application to join the regiment to the head of state Caesar as soon as possible. The 'Cross Knight' has the highest privileges in the empire and will help you perform your mission."

"That means I no longer have to worry about the local council or other hostile forces?"

"You can say that."

Parra said solemnly.

"The Parliament, the military, the Blood Harbor gang, the No. 7 Golden Army and even the Eclipse Society... As long as you are sure, you can do whatever you want, I will give you the full answer."

"But I have one request. The 'Second Level Nightmare Monument' should be dealt with as soon as possible."

"Yes, Chairman, I understand."

Gillan suddenly smiled brightly.

His favorite thing to hear from Parra is "Do whatever you want, I'll cover it all."

Hearing Jilan's obviously lighter tone, Parra suddenly felt that he should restrain this little guy...

Young people are too murderous.

But then I thought about it, maybe I was too conservative?

For some special situations, young talents like Gillan are needed to be better suited to handle them.

"By the way, Chairman Parra, we found that the miasma concentration here in Late Autumn Town is somewhat abnormal. It is obviously higher than the average level, reaching an astonishing 5.2 Pa."

Ji Lan remembered something and reported the information again.

Hearing this, Parra let out a light sigh.

"5.2 Pa... is indeed abnormal."

He pondered for a moment, seemed to have some guesses, and could not help but lower his voice and warned:

"You should be more careful, especially after setting sail."

"Okay, Chairman."

Click.

The phone hangs up.

Parra was still sitting on the leather chair in the office, her brows furrowed and her eyes deep.

half an hour.

He murmured:
"Is the source really the sea of ​​blood?"

...

...

late at night.

In the dark living room, Renault and Muguer slept on a bunk bed. On the other side of the aisle, Garnold slept on the lower floor, while Gillan lay on the upper floor.

He controlled his consciousness to sink slowly.

When Gilan fell into sleep.

As usual, he came to his own spiritual kingdom.

In the open-air stone hall, on the seats at the top of the five spiral stone pillars, all members of the "Hand of Dawn" were absent.

"Rainbow Owl."

Everyone looked at him with smiles.

Jilan nodded, jumped up, and landed on the edge of the Thumb Throne.

"How is everyone doing lately?"

he asked casually.

Black Sandpiper was the first to answer:
"I followed the team all the way south, and now they have arrived in Oote City in the Bay Area. I have successfully completed the ascetic assessment and become a formal member of the 'Ascetic Sect'."

"Huh?" Jilan raised his eyebrows.

Black Sandpiper and the others actually arrived in Ote City...

"Not bad." He smiled. "What's your pass rate?"

"Relatively low." Black Sandpiper shook his head and sighed. "Of the team of more than a dozen people, only three were selected in the end. The rest either died halfway or gave up halfway."

"However, after successfully joining the sect, I received a copy of the secret practice method "Seven Precepts of Penance" and a bottle of secret medicine for tempering the body."

Hearing this, Jilan frowned slightly.

"The secret medicine should be fine, but as for the so-called precepts, I suggest you practice it carefully... to imitate divinity and abandon human nature, it may have serious side effects."

Black Sandpiper was a little surprised. She didn't expect Hong Xiao to know so much about the "Seven Commandments".

He nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Hong Xiao, I'm just showing off, I won't really take these precepts seriously."

"That's good." Jilan hummed.

Immediately afterwards, Baiou also shared some internal information about the "White Pigeon Tower".

"I got the news that the ninth pigeon Dedel of Sonnet in the tower has been replaced by a new person, and the fifth pigeon Idrissa has gone to Oute City in the Bay Area..."

She glanced at Black Sandpiper and then at Gillan.

"Hmm... I suspect that the 'White Dove Tower' and the 'Ascetic Sect' should take action, otherwise this would be too much of a coincidence."

Ji Lan's eyes narrowed.

According to what Baiou said, it was indeed very strange.

Two hostile secret society forces have actually arrived in the coastal area where he is currently located.

It's hard not to imagine whether there is some conspiracy...

"I happen to be on official duty in Late Autumn Town in Ote City right now. If there is any urgent information, please share it in time."

Jilan said to everyone.

The white gull and black snipe were startled and nodded quickly.

At this moment, Aurora, the red sparrow, opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise:
"I...my next destination is also Late Autumn Town."

"Huh?!" Everyone looked surprised.

Why are everyone's forces heading that way?
"It's not what the 'Holy Sisters' means, but I, as a newcomer, will study alone in the 'Steel Maidens'...and they have been hired by the Machinery Guild to go to Late Autumn Town to hunt down the members of the 'Eclipse Society' "

"So that's it." Ji Lan understood.

After the investigation committee investigated the activities of the "Solar Eclipse Society" in Bosvia, the Machinery Guild naturally would not let this opportunity pass by.

After all, there are irreconcilable conflicts between the superiors believed in by the two forces.

At present, the miasma natural disaster is rampant. The top executives of the Machinery Union were summoned by Pala. They are busy developing new anti-miasma medicines and have no time to pursue the "Eclipse Society".

Hiring another neutral secret society organization has become a reasonable method.

"There is nothing special happening here. I am still busy sorting out the details of the "Enlightenment Fire" series of films and filing them into a book."

The stork spoke.

He stroked his chest and saluted Jilan.

"Hongxiao, thanks to your advance viewing, you provided a lot of clues about the film, which saved me a lot of energy."

"You're welcome." Gillan smiled. "Next time you get new real film, don't forget to tell me."

"Definitely." Cang Stork said solemnly.

Immediately afterwards, Gillan traded a wave of "wick potions" with the members of the secret society.

During this period, several people did not forget to make money. Although it was not much, they were able to trade 2 to 3 potions from Jilan to facilitate their own practice.

Gillan paid 9 "wick potions" and got 990 Caesar.

After the transaction is completed.

"Everyone, please be careful during this period, especially Red Bird and Black Sandpiper... Something big may happen in Late Autumn Town and even the entire Ote City."

Gillan gave a final warning.

Everyone looked serious and nodded in agreement.
