From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 405 Follow-up
Filippo Eugene is not an ordinary person, he actually has certain strength.

Although he is far inferior to his adopted son, Tessell, the commander of the kingdom's first army, he was also considered a good fighter when he was young and had super-limit level skills.

It should be said that in Dora, a warrior country, there are no ordinary men who can survive to adulthood.

However, Filippo was old after all, and he had suffered many hidden injuries when he was young. His skills had been eroded by the years and there was little left.

If he faced the encirclement and suppression by the guards sent by the second prince alone, he would probably be in great danger.

Even though he is a priest of the "Scar Cathedral", Ivan is unlikely to let him go... because he has another identity, that is, Twissell's adoptive father.

Based on this alone, Ivan would definitely put Filippo to death on the grounds that he had attacked the high priest Atlas without authorization.

Gilan planned to save the old priest's life.

He took Filippo and escaped from the Klein Colosseum through a relatively hidden passage at the foot of the wall. At the same time, he released Vivi from the ring and cast a spell on the two of them to confuse the consciousness of the few witnesses.

While stopping briefly in the alleyway halfway, Priest Filippo expressed his gratitude to Gilan in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your help, Gillan."

He did not show any worry or fear, but rather looked relieved.

Filippo knew very well what the consequences would be if he attacked the high priest Atlas, but he did it anyway.

It was because he valued his adopted son, Twissell, more than his own life.

"If possible, please send me out of Klein. I will find a place to hide by myself afterwards... As for Twissell, tell him not to worry about me."

"Okay, I understand." Jilan nodded.

"Tsaiel won the championship in this 'Battle Ceremony'. Even if Ivan is afraid of him, he can't openly break his promise... When Tsaiel is awarded the title and has his own territory, then..."

Filippo said this, and suddenly stopped talking.

Gillan tacitly did not ask any further questions.

He understood what the other party meant.

Ivan became the new king, and given his personality, it was impossible for him to tolerate Tsser.

The two sides have irreconcilable conflicts.

The future of the Duoluo Kingdom is hard to say.

...

...

After sending Filippo out of the city, Gillan turned around and returned to the "Klein Colosseum".

He found that the "Battle Ceremony" was over.

However, due to the death of High Priest Atlas, there was considerable chaos.

The royal guards blocked the exits and searched the scene, and it wasn't long before they identified the murderer as Filippo Eugene.

This result was incredible to many people.

Filippo was also a priest of the "Scar Cathedral", so why did he want to assassinate the high priest?
The answer to this question is probably only known by a few people such as the second prince Ivan and Gilan.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

After a period of chaos and turmoil, Ivan sent people to search for Filippo, while at the same time preparing for the celebration of his coronation.

In the royal palace, he crowned the champion of this "Battle Ceremony", Tessier, and named him "Invincible Marquis". He also fulfilled his promise and bestowed him with a large sum of wealth and an entire city-state.

However, the city-state is located in a remote area, and the land is not fertile, and is even quite barren. The population there is sparse, and it is the most backward area in the Duola Kingdom.

It can be seen that even though Twissell won honor for the kingdom and won the war in disguise, Ivan still had no good feelings towards him.

Even because of the failure of the conspiracy and the death of the high priest, the resentment in his heart became even greater...

After the awarding ceremony, Tessell was forced to resign his post as the head of the legion and leave the royal city for a distant land with the new identity of lord and marquis.

These are what Ivan hopes to see.

However, before leaving, Tessell privately invited Gillan to go to the new territory with him to serve as the governor and captain of the army there.

Gillan readily agreed.

So he also left the First Corps.

The next morning, the huge convoy left the city-state and headed into the distance, with many Klein residents lining the streets to see them off.

By evening, the convoy had already left the royal city for a long distance.

During a short break, Jilan saw three unexpected people getting off an inconspicuous carriage.

The third prince Idrissa, the fourth prince Ilig, and the old priest Filippo.

"The two princes begged me to take them out of the royal city, and I agreed."

At this time, Tessell, who had changed his military uniform into a noble robe, walked up to Gillan and explained softly.

"It may not be safe for them to stay in Klein. Given Ivan's temper, he will do harm to the two of them sooner or later."

"As for the matter about Priest Filippo, I haven't had time to thank you yet, Gillan."

In the sunset, he turned his head and smiled at Jilan.

Twissell's tone was full of emotion:

"If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to defeat my opponent so easily in the Battle Ceremony..."

“It’s only a small favor, Twissell.”

Gillan waved his hand.

Twissell was quite serious. He added:
"Ivan hates me to the core, and now I choose to protect the two princes. I'm afraid my future won't be easy. There may even be a war between the two sides."

"Don't you regret leaving with me?"

"Regret?" Jilan smiled and shook his head. "A good warrior should have no regrets about his choice. Besides, I don't have any good feelings towards the Klein royal family."

"Gilan, you will always be my brother."

Twissell was quite touched and said in a deep voice.

Gilan looked at the man in front of him and found a strange brand on the left side of his neck, shining brightly in the setting sun.

It looks like a pattern of overlapping shields and spears.

Tsaiel did not have this mark before, and it seemed to have suddenly appeared on his neck after the "Battle Ceremony".

"The mark of the apostle candidate..."

Gillan was no stranger to this, and he quickly guessed that it was probably because of Twissell's heroic performance in the Colosseum that he attracted the attention of the "Gladiators" of the March Hour, thus leaving a mark on him.

Although he knew this, Gilan did not say it. The two stood side by side under a tree on the oasis hill, looking at the sunset and dusk on the horizon.

half an hour.

Twissell took out a parchment scroll, handed it to Gillan, and said:

"This is a secret technique I created. I hope it will be of some help to you... From now on, you will have to worry more about the affairs of the territory, Lord Archon."

He smiled and patted Gillan on the shoulder, then turned and left, walking towards Filippo, the third prince and others.

at this time.

Jilan suddenly realized that "Banlan" was moving again.

A beam of colorful light descended from the sky and shone upon Twissell, who was unaware of it.

“It’s like this again…”

Jilan looked at the man in the colorful light with a fixed gaze.

This situation also occurred in the previous "Silver Bottle". When parting with Miss Flamel Nicola, the "colorful" was triggered for some reason, and colorful light fell from the sky and enveloped the other party.

Gillan had never been sure what kind of impact this would have, but he always felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing.

"It seems... this situation only occurred after I was promoted to a Kyushu."

Gilan frowned, thinking, and then he saw the colorful light covering Tessell gradually dissipate, everything was the same as before, as if nothing had happened. He guessed that perhaps after he was promoted to the 4th level, "Colorful" also underwent some changes, but as for what this change was, he couldn't figure it out.

when--

when--

when--

Suddenly, a familiar bell rang through the sky.

'The movie is about to end.'

Ji Lan secretly thought.

Soon, he saw noise and vertical spots appearing in his surrounding vision.

Jilan was familiar with the process, so he simply closed his eyes and waited silently for a few seconds.

When he was in a trance for a moment, he opened his eyes again and found himself back to reality, sitting on the wooden floor of the master bedroom.

On the screen in front of him, the last movie scene stopped at the small hill of the oasis. Tissell was chatting with the third and fourth princes and priest Filippo, and was completely unaware of Gillan's disappearance.

White subtitles appeared in the glow of the setting sun. In addition to the familiar list of behind-the-scenes personnel, Gillan once again saw the thank-you message left by the "director":
"I've always wondered, is there really someone in this world who is forever undefeated? If there is, it definitely wouldn't be me... As for you, my friend, have you failed?"

Jilan looked at this passage and felt somewhat puzzled.

He shook his head and lowered his eyes.

In his hand, he was holding a parchment scroll.

It was the one that Twissell gave him that Gillan brought out of the film.

After a brief thought, he untied the string and took a look at the parchment scroll.

Soon, Jilan raised his eyebrows.

The secret technique recorded in this scroll is called "Backflow", which is more defensive. It can be used with bare hands, but it is best to use a medium such as a shield.

This secret technique allows one to block the opponent's powerful attacks, reduce them, and counterattack the received force.

"Counterattack? It's indeed a secret technique invented by Twissell, an attack and defense all in one."

Gillan murmured.

"That's right, I'm still lacking a secret skill for defense, let's learn it."

After he read it carefully, he silently called out in his heart:
'gorgeous! '

Immediately, the colored numbers in Jilan's eyes dropped from "4612" to "4312". It took 300 points of mysterious energy to instantly master the defensive secret technique called "reflux".

After learning it, he discovered that in addition to the secret techniques, the parchment scroll also recorded the secrets of the Shell Sword Spiral and the 5th-level "monster" of the March "Gladiator" path.

Seeing this, Jilan was quite happy.

This is another fifth-level secret after "Doll".

"Very good... This should also be of great reference value for deducing the player's path to the fifth-order essence, and can save me a lot of effort."

Jilan put away the parchment scroll properly, then stood up, turned off the projector, and let Vivi return to the ring.

Then, he took out the alchemy hotline and called Ms. Crow by sticking the dedicated line card close to her...

...

...

Deep in the sea of ​​dreams.

A huge island reflected in the dark sea.

Toyalan, the hometown of God.

The "corridor" area on the mountainside is layered like a maze.

A huge white stone archway stands on the plain at the top of the mountain. The archway is about a hundred meters high and is covered with exquisite reliefs and patterns.

Countless warriors are depicted in the relief in the posture of fighting. At the top of the arch, there is a huge statue of a ram's head, with its eyes indifferently overlooking everything below.

On one side of the arch, there were two figures, one big and one small, leaning against each other, and they seemed to be chatting.

The huge figure was more than ten meters tall, with a bull's head and a human body, muscular, and exuding a terrifying sense of oppression and momentum. It was covered with black fur and had two thick horns on its head that curved upwards.

However, the right horn was broken in the middle, and the cross-section was smooth, as if it had been cut off by some sharp weapon.

The small figure was a man, wearing only leather trousers and an armor apron, with his upper body bare, revealing his muscular body.

"There will be great changes in the world, Taunos."

The man leaned against the stone pillar of the archway, folded his elbows and sighed.

"Aren't you curious about the final outcome of this battle?"

"Tsaiel, this is a fight between the 'Crippled King' and the 'Blind General'. If it is not necessary, it is better for us not to intervene."

The huge minotaur said in a powerful voice.

Twissell shook his head.

"That being said, Mr. Gladiator Mars seems to be interested in intervening. As the god who controls the Law of Battle, he was the former rival of the Blind General... Now that the new god has only been replaced for a few hundred years, he feels a little lonely."

"I'm the porter, Twissell."

Taunus chuckled.

"Even if I want to go out, I have to get permission from the Gladiator."

"Mr. Mars is doing this for your own good, to prevent you from fighting with other apostles again...Taunos, don't forget who cut off your horn."

Twissell said solemnly.

The minotaur fell silent.

He slowly sat down, and leaned against the doorpost like Twissell did, and said in a calm tone:
"Of course I will not forget. It was 'Blood Colonel' Herman Tullio, one of the four apostles under the 'Blind General', and a subordinate of the Knights of the 'Remnant King' before he ascended to heaven... I, Taunos, have always despised people who betray their monarchs. It's a pity that I only cut off one of his arms and failed to kill him."

"And you lost a horn forever, didn't you?"

Twissell glanced at his companion beside him and said.

at this time.

A beam of colorful light suddenly descended and landed on Tessell, but the two apostles did not even notice it.

Twissell was startled.

“What’s the matter with you, Twissell?” the minotaur asked.

"Nothing." Twissell came back to his senses and shook his head. "I just suddenly thought of the old friend."

"After a thousand years, my brother still lingers in the mortal world and has not ascended... This war that affects the entire continent may involve him. I think I should help him."

"Your brother?" Taonos asked in confusion. "Why haven't you mentioned him before? Besides, a person who has not ascended to the heavens, even a 6th-level long-lived one, cannot live for a thousand years. How could your brother live so long?"

Twissell shook his head and made no reply.

The minotaur seemed to understand something and started laughing.

"It seems that both you and I prefer the 'Crippled King'..."

"A good soldier should have no regrets about his choice. Besides, I don't have any good feelings towards the 'Blind General'."

Twissell said calmly.

"The most important point is that although the old gods are in hiding, they have not disappeared. Instead of bowing down to the old gods like the 'Blind General', it is better to join the 'Crippled King' camp and fight to the end!"

"I think you're more my style, Twissell."

The minotaur laughed.

"But all this depends on Mr. Gladiator's opinion."
