From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 428 Success
The purple-eyed woman smiled.

"It's me." Her beautiful eyes moved, and she teased, "I thought you really didn't remember anything."

"..."

Gillan was shocked.

He never imagined that what he said to Flamel in the movie would actually affect reality.

This influence not only spans hundreds of years, but also crosses the boundaries between fantasy and reality.

Quite incredible...

Jilan suddenly thought of something and his pupils shrank.

"Yes! It's because of the 'colorful'!"

He remembered that after he was promoted to a long-lived being, "Colorful" had shown abnormal movements twice in the real film.

And these two times happened exactly in "The Silver Bottle" and "The Invincible Legend"... Flamel Nicolas and Tsir Eugene were both enveloped by colorful light from the sky caused by "Colorful" at the end of the film.

'So, "Ban Lan" tampered with the secret history? ! '

Gillan was amazed.

'No, that's not the case... It only changed the people in the past, but not the things that happened in the past. The impact of my appearance on certain people has continued to this day.'

"But even so, this kind of unreasonable tampering should be easily noticed by others..."

Jilan still remembers that when he was still very young, "Banlan" had already begun to show its magical powers.

For example, in the film, he took away the Loser Ouija board, so this key item would completely disappear from all the master and sub-tapes of the "Human Will" series of films.

So much so that the February Apostle "Assistant Script Supervisor" Miss Hera Nibal behind the scenes had to correct the plot to get everything back on track.

Thinking about all this, Gillan couldn't help but feel horrified.

Because this means...

Clark Smith, the "director" of February Hour, actually knew his peculiarity from the very beginning.

But from beginning to end, the "director" just let him do whatever he wanted in the film and did not have any ill will towards him. Instead, he continued to provide help through various indirect means or messages.

'What exactly is "colorful"?'

Gillan had doubts again.

He felt that the special power he possessed was extremely powerful, so powerful that it was terrifying.

Not only can it affect the Ascendants and Apostles, it can also tamper with Si Chen's belongings.

'Did the "director" really help me out of friendship? Or was it because of "Ban Lan"? '

Ji Lan secretly guessed.

'He once said that he and I are both pests of this world and will be hated by the world... and the will and incarnation of the world are none other than the old gods, the four great Si Sui!'

"So the Director intends to train me, so that I can have enough power and then join forces with him to fight against the old gods?"

'So in the third year, the death of the goddess of love "Miss Dark Tears" was related to the "director"?'

Many questions suddenly emerged and lingered in Jilan's mind, making him feel heavy for a moment.

But he also knew very well that he was not strong enough at this stage, far from strong enough, and it was useless to think more.

In addition, he lacked sufficient information and clues to see the truth behind the world, so it would be best for him to bury these things in his heart for the time being and explore them later.

"Huh..." He let out a long breath.

Gilan quickly adjusted his mindset and used his essence ability "Perfect Personality" to control his expressions and micro-movements, trying not to be discovered by Menis and Xizar in front of him.

"Of course I will never forget the girl who studied with me."

Jilan smiled slightly and shook his head:

"I just didn't expect that after all this time, you still remembered me... and even sent 'Biwo' to walk the mortal world and help me."

"I originally thought that you had died on the road to knowledge, or had met with an accident and thus failed to ascend."

Menis rolled his eyes and folded his elbows.

"I didn't expect you to be doing well in the mortal world. You're now the foreign minister of the Bremen Empire...but why are you only at level 4?"

She looked suspicious and seemed to find it very strange.

Jilan smiled and said lightly:

"Calm down and seek the truth, time flies by. I didn't put too much energy into the 'Path of the Fire Sword', but focused on alchemy..."

"No wonder." Menis did not seem to doubt it. Instead, he nodded and said with emotion: "The alchemical mark on your palm is so deep that even I cannot see through it. I guess you are still ahead of me in this aspect."

"However, you should speed up your ascension."

Menis turned his head and looked into the distance, admonishing.

The dark night sky was tinged with indigo blue, and the stars twinkled in the sky, which was extremely beautiful.

"If the two countries go to war, the world will fall into an unprecedented chaos. Without sufficient strength, the path to knowledge will be blocked..."

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Jilan again.

Those purple eyes were full of concern.

"As the intensity of the battle increases, strong men from all sides will enter the battlefield. Even Ascendants or Apostles are likely to take action... By then, you will be at the center of the storm and it will be very dangerous."

"There is really only so much I can do to help you. You will have to rely on yourself from now on."

"I know." Gillan smiled. "Thank you, Miss Flamel... I will start preparing for promotion in the near future, speed up my climb up the 'Path of the Fire Sword', and strive to ascend as soon as possible."

"It's good that you have this awareness."

Menis chuckled and whispered:

"If you need anything, you can use the crystal ball I gave you to contact her... Madam has a good relationship with the Crucible King. The Gate of Weights on the September Road is now guarded by the Crucible King, and he will let you go."

After saying that, she immediately shut up and said no more.

Ji Lan was shocked.

The Gate of Weights...

He immediately thought of the "Spark of Enlightenment" series of films. In the flashback of the Easter egg scene, he saw William Gerard meeting the "Snow Lady" of September in his dream.

Later, William ascended through the "Gate of Weights" and had a brief exchange with the "Furnace King" Hermes.

Jilan didn't know much about ascension.

Whether it was the various classics he had read, his experience studying with "Lady Silver Bottle", or his teacher Pala... none of them mentioned this point.

It seems that everything about ascension and the outside world is extremely confidential information.

But Gilan couldn't help but guess that the ascension from the 6th level, the limit of the mortal world, to the 7th level of the divine land, could only be accomplished through a certain "door".

The "Gate of Weights" mentioned by Menis is controlled by the September Sichen "Ms. Snow", who has sent her apostle "Furnace King" to guard it...

"Thank you, Miss Flamel." Gillan nodded with a smile. "I will contact you if I need anything."

The woman in the purple dress smiled happily.

At this time, Xizar, who had remained silent, spoke:

"For Twissell's sake, I'll give you a warning, young man."

He cast his gaze over and said calmly:

"A war between Bu and Austria will lead to various changes. Right now, the beginnings of this have already appeared... If you are interested in exploring, you will definitely find that the souls of countless soldiers who died on the front lines are being led away by an invisible force. As for which force is doing this and what their purpose is, we don't know."

"Huh?!" Jilan's eyes narrowed.

The soldiers who died on the front line had their souls sucked away by an unknown force... Even the Bremen Empire itself did not know this news.

'That's not right. Maybe it was discovered, but for some reason, it was not transmitted to the Triumph Building and the Sifang Palace.'

Gilan thought. He took off his hat and saluted the man in black armor.

"Thank you Mr. Xizar for your reminder. After returning, I will inform the teacher and the head of state of this important information."

"Yeah." Xizar waved his hand, not really caring.

...

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, the palace waiter knocked on Jilan's door and told him that the two majesties had invited the envoys to have breakfast together.

Jilan politely agreed, asked the waiter to inform the other members, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After what happened last night, Menis left. She didn't say where she went, and Gillan didn't ask.

It was just that what Menis said made Gillan think about it over and over again in bed until late at night.

"It turns out that I have made the acquaintance of so many superiors without realizing it..."

Gillan wiped his face with a towel and looked up in the mirror.

The man inside became more and more handsome, even to the point of seeming unfamiliar to himself.

He smiled and shook his head.

'March, May, July, September, December, February... I have some connections with the superiors who represent these months.'

"It really is true what I said in my previous life. To survive in this world, you still have to rely on connections and influence..."

Jilan felt emotional.

If it weren't for the help of Xizar and Menis, he would have suffered a great loss in the battle last night.

Thinking of this, his eyes turned inward, hiding a dangerous gleam.

"White Dove Tower..."

Gillan murmured.

He folded the towel and put it back on the carved metal rack. After fixing his appearance in front of the mirror, he turned around and left the bathroom.

...

...

The breakfast at the palace was very sumptuous and luxurious.

He is worthy of the title of overlord of the Stuttgart Empire.

Although this place is located in the western desert and its resources are not as abundant as those in Austria and Austria, it still has sufficient resources and can be compensated by imports.

Just like the scene when they first arrived, the envoys and the high-ranking officials of the Iron Blood Royal Court sat at a long table separated from each other. Two noble kings sat at the main seat.

But this time, Gillan clearly felt a completely different atmosphere.

The elders and chief prosecutors on the opposite side were not as cold as when they first met. Instead, they smiled at Gilan and the members of the envoy group...including even the hard-line members and Planck.

'It seems that without Winter Snake behind the scenes, these people are no longer affected by hypnosis and their attitude towards Bremen has changed.'

Jilan remained calm on the surface, but thought to himself.

At this time, "Ocean King" Amur raised his glass and took a sip, then said to everyone in a calm tone:

"Regarding the cooperation plan proposed by Mr. Gillan, do you have any new ideas?"

"I think it is very feasible and will benefit both parties..."

Duke Hawkes put down his knife and fork and spoke first.

He first cast a friendly look at Jilan, then turned to look at the main seat.

“I still support this cooperation.”

"Agree."

"I agree too."

Immediately, several moderate elders and the chief prosecutor expressed their opinions and spoke softly.

Just as Duke Hawkes had a solemn look on his face, repeatedly choosing his words in his mind, going over the various materials he had prepared last night, and preparing to respond to the hardliners' rebuttal.

He was shocked to hear Planck speaking beside him:
"Yeah, I agree."

Hawkes turned his head in disbelief, only to see his old rival, Planck, who was hunched over and smiling.

"I have communicated with other elders many times and feel that my previous concerns are unnecessary. Perhaps taking this opportunity to deepen cooperation with the Bremen Empire can significantly improve the quality of life of our citizens and the level of civilian technology."

"Planck is right."

Another hard-line elder spoke up.

The man was over fifty, with a thin face and a small mustache. He sat upright, straightened his collar, and said:

"I am in favor of cooperation...but if Bulgaria and Austria go to war, it is not appropriate for us to get involved."

The views put forward by this elder were quickly supported by hardliners.

What they want is not to get involved in the dispute between the two countries.

Whether or not they cooperate is not that important.

"Hmm..." Amur groaned, put down his glass, and turned to look at his brother beside him. "Russell, what do you mean?"

"Of course I agree, Brother-sama."

"Sky King" Russell smiled.

Amur nodded.

He still had a calm expression, but inwardly, he sighed.

He knew everything about Gillan Ilos's visit to Planck and the "assassination attempt" he encountered in Klein Royal City.

Last night, the chief of the temple, Xizar, personally found him and conveyed the three wishes of the ancestor Emperor Tesserlich:

1. When troubled times come, choose Bremen.

Second, make friends with Gillan Iros, the leader of the Bremen envoys, and don’t make things difficult for him.

Third, do not participate in the war for the time being, but provide assistance to Bremen at critical moments.

Amur was deeply shocked by the decree from his ancestors. Although he was somewhat puzzled, he would not and dared not disobey it.

At the same time, Amur could see that his ancestors seemed to have a clear preference and respect for Gilan Ilos, which made him ponder for a long time but he could not come up with an answer.

But Amur believed that his ancestors would not harm him.

"In that case, Hawkes and Planck will take the lead and be responsible for the handover with Bremen and do their best to facilitate this cooperation."

The Ocean King showed a hint of smile on his serious face and raised his glass and said.

Seeing his smile, the elders and the chief prosecutor looked at each other in surprise.

Because over the years, His Majesty Amur has laughed only a few times.

"It seems that the cooperation with Bremen is very pleasing to His Majesty..."

This thought arose in everyone's mind.

"Well, happy cooperation, Mr. Gillan, and the distinguished Bremen envoys."

At this time, "Sky King" Russell slowly stood up, raised his glass, and said to Gillan and his party with a smile.

Jilan took a deep breath and took the lead to stand up and return the greeting.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Your Majesty Russell, Your Majesty Amur."
