From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 424 Breaking the situation
"doing what?"

Gillan grinned.

"Of course I'm saving you, Lord Duke Planck."

"what are you saying……"

Planck looked at the purple-eyed young man approaching him and instinctively stepped back.

At the same time, he glanced under the railing and noticed that the servants downstairs were completely unaware of anything and remained in a daze, as if they were affected by a mysterious force.

The old man's heart sank.

Just as he was thinking about a countermeasure, he saw the purple-eyed young man gesture and said as if talking to himself:

"Control this old guy for me."

Immediately, in the air where Planck could not see, a charming little figure flapped its bat wings and raised its hands towards him.

hum-

An invisible mysterious force enveloped them.

Planck was stunned for a moment.

His expression was dull and his eyes were blank.

Jilan walked slowly to the old man and took out a brass pocket watch.

Click.

He pressed the switch of the pocket watch with his thumb, and the dial cover popped open and pointed at Planck.

Immediately, the pocket watch seemed to sense some kind of power, and the yellow crystal pendulum hanging at the tail began to rotate clockwise.

"As expected, I was hypnotized..."

Ji Lan secretly thought.

"This creation of the Clockmaker is indeed a special attack item for the White Dove Tower. It is very useful... The 1500 Caesars were well spent."

He smiled and pressed the mechanical knob on the pocket watch again.

Click.

This time, the three hands of hours, minutes and seconds began to move.

But soon, the speed of rotation gradually slowed down, as if there was an invisible force preventing them from merging.

"Hmm?" Jilan narrowed his eyes. "The original level of the person behind the scenes is above level 5, which exceeds the limit of the 'Sleepiness Pointer'..."

Fortunately, the three hands finally overlapped "with difficulty" and pointed to the 10 o'clock direction.

At the same time, the brass pocket watch made a crisp clicking sound, and its dial cracked and was completely destroyed.

'pity……'

Ji Lan sighed secretly.

This alchemical artifact was of great help to him, and it was destroyed just like that, which made him feel a little sad.

"Fortunately, we have found the location where the mastermind is hiding, so we have made the best use of it."

He put away the damaged brass pocket watch and left Planck's villa directly with his little familiar Vivi.

Then, taking advantage of the night, head straight for the direction indicated by the "wakeful pointer".

...

...

Gilan walked in the Klein Royal City at night.

His speed was not slow.

After deliberately avoiding the sight of local residents, Jilan shuttled through the dim alleys and rushed out dozens of meters in the blink of an eye. Ordinary people could not detect him at all.

The night is getting darker.

Bathed in the moonlight, he came to an ordinary residential area about seventeen or eighteen kilometers away from the palace.

Most of the people here have gone to bed, and only in the windows of a few houses there are still lights on.

Gilan could hear the sound of dogs barking and talking and laughing. He leaned on his cane, held the brim of his hat, and slowly stopped at the street.

Across the street, a church much smaller than the "Scar Cathedral" stands at the corner of the street.

The direction indicated by the "wakefulness pointer" is a three-story house behind the church.

"Huh..." Jilan let out a long breath and stared at the dark church and the building behind it.

"If we don't get rid of this person behind the scenes, the hardliners within the royal court will become the biggest stumbling block in the negotiations between the two sides."

Thinking this, he took a step forward.

His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

But when Gillan passed through the narrow alley on one side of the church and was about to go straight to the house at the back, he suddenly noticed that a white dove was perched on a large banyan tree in the church, separated by the iron fence.

The pigeon was staring at him with its red eyes.

"It was able to evade my spiritual detection. This pigeon must have been left here by the person behind the scenes..."

Ji Lan's heart sank.

While lamenting that the other party was very cautious, he did not hesitate and directly took out a Plessis coin and flicked it with his fingers.

call out--

Gillan's current physique was quite formidable, and he used his inhuman finger strength to catapult the metal coin with a force nearly equivalent to that of a small-caliber pistol.

There was a dull puff sound and the white dove on the branch of the banyan tree was instantly pierced by a coin the size of a fingernail. It sprayed out a handful of blood mist and fell from the tree.

Gillan wasted no time and rushed towards the house at full speed... because he knew that from the moment the pigeon discovered him, the person behind the scenes most likely knew of his arrival.

Snapped.

His figure flashed in a straight line, he kicked the wall, stretched out his hand and grabbed, then he climbed over the three-meter-high wall and landed in the yard of the building.

However, at the entrance of the corridor right in front, two middle-aged men dressed as waiters seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

They had expressionless faces and each held a long sword and a box pistol.

Seeing Gilan breaking in, one of them raised his gun and shot without hesitation.

Bang bang bang! !

Three shots in a row.

Muzzle flashes flickered in the night.

The moment the other party raised his hand, Gillan dodged and easily avoided three bullets.

But Jilan's face looked quite ugly.

Because the gunshots were very loud, especially in the quiet night, they were very harsh.

The other party probably didn't think that they could kill Gillan with just a pistol. The purpose of the shooting was just to attract the attention of the surrounding residents and thus confuse the situation.

'The reason this guy is hiding here is probably because he wants to use the "Scar Church" as a cover!'

Ji Lan secretly thought.

Almost the next second after the gunshot, he heard the alarm bell ringing from the small church next to the house.

In the surrounding houses, the windows lit up one after another, and noisy exclamations continued.

Obviously, the other party's goal has been achieved.

As the leader of a foreign envoy, Jilan traveled alone at night and caused fights and riots. This kind of thing cannot be exposed.

Otherwise it would be a diplomatic incident.

He and his delegation will be deported and even held accountable, which will ruin the diplomatic plans of this trip.

Gillan seemed to have foreseen what would happen next.

But he did not retreat.

Because the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. If the person behind the scenes is not caught tonight, he will fall into a more passive situation in the future.

After all, the enemy will not miss this opportunity.

Bang bang bang! !

There were several more gunshots.

As the fireworks burst, Jilan's figure dodged left and right, as if in a frame-by-frame animation, and moved a long distance in the blink of an eye.

The two male waiters' expressions changed slightly.

Gillan was close.

They gave up shooting and raised their swords.

Both of them are servants controlled by the "Winter Snake", are level 3 spiritual mystics, and are original "warriors" with strong close combat capabilities.

They were ordered not to kill or repel Gilan, but only to slow him down a little.

However, Jilan's strength still exceeded the expectations of the people behind the scenes...

Clang! !

A bright silver sword light flashed.

Jilan had a cold face and used a killing move "Universe Sword·Silver Plate". The sword disappeared and turned into points of cold light.

There were a few clanging sounds and sparks flew.

The long swords in the hands of the two male servants broke with a sound, cut into several pieces by Jilan's terrifying slash. The sword wind came towards them, and before the two men had time to dodge, the flowing silver light swept across their necks in the next second.

呲味——

Blood gushed out, and the two beheaded men waved their arms wildly and fell to the ground with a thud.

Jilan had already passed the two bodies and rushed up the corridor.

But as soon as he reached the second floor, he heard a slight sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Jilan snorted coldly, pushed open the window in the corridor, jumped down, and chased in the direction where the sound came from.

Passing the house, he saw a man in a high-necked windbreaker, carrying a cane, running away along the alley without looking back.

Its movements are extremely fast and its physical fitness is excellent.

"Nobus Sulu (Winter Snake)."

"Male, 90 years old."

"He is one of the current 'Three Fables' of the secret society 'White Dove Tower', codenamed 'Winter Snake'. In order to carry out an important mission in the tower, he came to Stuttgart three years ago, operating undercover and infiltrating the noble forces of the 'Iron Blood Royal Court'..."

"Got you." Gillan sneered.

He moved his feet, holding the Sword of Laughter, and chased after him.

The man in the windbreaker turned around while running, glanced at Jilan with his green eyes indifferently, and said:

"I don't know how you found me, but you obviously made a mistake, Gillan Iros."

Gillan did not answer.

He increased his speed, and relying on his terrifying physique of "Permanent Mad Owl", he caught up with the man in the windbreaker in just a few breaths.

Immediately, a sword was struck on the head, emitting a silver light.

Clang! !

Winter Snake twisted his body, swung his cane with one hand, and collided with the flower basket cross sword.

Dazzling sparks burst out and clanging sounds were heard.

The trembling sound continued, and the winter snake's green eyes looked over the cane and looked at Jilan.

"Do you think I evacuated because I was afraid of you?"

he sneered.

"If you weren't worried about being exposed, you would definitely die here tonight..."

"Why not give it a try?" Gilan said calmly.

He moved his hands again and changed his moves.

The attacking "silver plate" instantly turned into a "silver halo" that defeated the enemy. The sword blurred for a moment and then disappeared.

The shining silver light spread out, surrounding the winter snake. Immediately, they all turned into sharp silver lines and stabbed straight at it.

shhhhhhhh! !
Dongshe's eyes focused, and the emerald on the top of his staff instantly burst into light.

There was a continuous series of muffled puffing sounds.

Jilan's dense silver slashes were all blocked and absorbed by the green light.

Zheng!
Dongshe shook his hand and used his walking stick to pry open Jilan's sword. Then he used the force to leap up like a big bird and distance himself.

In mid-air, he snapped his fingers suddenly.

Snapped!
Green light emanated from the gem at the end of the staff, twisting like a gauze, and circling around the winter snake for several weeks.

"Mirage." Winter Snake said softly.

The green light gathered together again and then suddenly exploded.

Like a flash bomb, it burst into a dazzling light like daylight in the air, instantly engulfing Jilan.

The strong mysterious magnetic field accompanied by hypnotic power constantly washed over Gilan's consciousness.

At this moment, Gillan saw the ocean, the clock tower, the carriage, and the people of all kinds.

They laugh, they cry, and they act out their daily lives with incredible liveliness.

"The power of the fifth-level "illusion"..."

Gillan remained conscious.

He shouted in his heart:

'Lordran!'

Deep in his eyes, the cross sword bonfire burned fiercely.

The light and heat of the raging fire dispelled the magnetic field and power, and guarded his mind firmly.

Snap.

The man in the windbreaker landed lightly on the ground, swinging his staff in the air.

With a cold face, he thrust out his staff, ready to pierce the purple-eyed young man's throat.

Available in the next second.

Clang! !

Jilan, who was originally affected, was in a trance for only a moment, and then he regained his senses in the stunned gaze of Dongshe, raised his sword and swung out a silver sword light to block his stick attack.

Both parties were bounced away by the huge force and stood still more than ten meters away.

"Incredible mental strength..."

Dongshe narrowed his cold eyes and said in a deep voice.

After being promoted to level 5 for several decades, he has developed his own essential power to an extremely high level.

He had never seen a 4th-level Kyushu being almost unaffected by his illusion moves.

The opponent's actual combat level is even higher than the intelligence, and can fight on equal terms with us...

This is incredible.

Winter Snake felt it was a difficult situation.

He realized that he could not kill the opponent in a short period of time, so he made a prompt decision and changed his strategy.

I saw him just throw his cane away.

More than a dozen green light bands emerged from the tip of his staff, winding like a group of snakes and dispersing in all directions.

Almost the next second.

There was a sound of dense footsteps.

Gilan used his psychic vision and discovered that a large number of nearby residents, patrol guards, and church personnel were all rushing towards this side.

These people were obviously affected by the Winter Snake's illusionary power and became its "chess pieces" to stop Jilan.

Ji Lan's heart sank.

He wouldn't go crazy and kill all these people.

In this way, the difficulty of killing the winter snake will be greatly increased.

"After activating "The King Arrives", can you kill the Winter Snake before the crowd arrives...?"

Ji Lan secretly thought.

But he wasn't sure.

"Gilan Iros, keep the Farmer's disc stone. I will come to get it soon."

Winter Snake sneered, leaped back, and jumped onto the low wall at the edge of the alley.

After saying this, his figure was obscured by a green light and then disappeared without a trace.

Gilan had a blank expression on his face, and tried to catch up with him. But he suddenly raised his sword and slashed at his side.

Clang! !

A sturdy man wearing black armor and a spiked helmet suddenly appeared. He swung a scimitar at Jilan's head, and the scimitar collided with the cross sword.

A shrill clanging sound was heard.

Jilan held the sword and swung out a silver arc of light, forcing the burly man in black armor to retreat.

When the other party landed, Jilan's face turned grim.

Because there is more than one black-armored warrior.

More than a dozen figures in black armor came one after another and surrounded Jilan.

"Royal Court Temple, Blade Hall Warriors..."

Jilan said solemnly.

These black-armored warriors are quite powerful, all of them have reached the 4th level, and their essence is all of the same body, sword and spiral, the "beasts" of the "Gladiator" path in March.

They seemed to be more or less affected by the illusion of the winter snake, and focused all their attention on Jilan, ignoring the departure of the winter snake.

"Mr. Guillain Iros."

One of the men in black armor spoke, a look of indifference beneath his spiked helmet.

"As a foreign guest, you wantonly killed people in Klein Royal City and caused quite a commotion... Please come with us."
