From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 459: Secret Talk

"Is this... a burial perfume bottle?"

The lady sitting next to Pala let out a soft "eh".

She picked up the square carved glass bottle on the table, looked at it for a few seconds, and confirmed her guess.

"This bottle contains a huge amount of spiritual energy."

Pala sensed something and frowned.

"There are at least nearly a thousand 'Xiu' units."

"Your judgment is as accurate as ever, Pala."

Ms. Sade laughed.

"Thank you for the compliment." Pala chuckled and said in a deep voice: "A container that can hold so much spiritual energy is not something that ordinary people can refine. Shade, do you see anything?"

"Um……"

The woman examined the glass bottle and gently stroked the small leather ball at the mouth of the bottle for squeezing with her lace-gloved fingers.

There are some very unique patterns on it.

"If it's as I expected, this should be a mysterious creation from the hands of the 'Spirit King' Lothershu Horn."

"Spirit King..." Pala frowned. "How could it be Him?"

He seemed to notice the confusion on Gillan's face.

The handsome blond man explained:

"'Spirit King' Loserxiu is one of the apostles under the command of 'White Dove Poet' of the October Hour. He is known as one of the 'Three Literary Masters of the Tower of Babel' along with 'Dai Shensong' and 'Paper Bird'."

"The Tower of Babel?"

Jilan was quite surprised to hear the name of this familiar mythological building.

The Tower of Babel, also known as the Tower of Babel in ancient Babylon.

It is a mythical building from the previous life "Bible Old Testament Genesis".

The biblical story in Chapter 11 describes in detail the original desire of mankind to unite and build a tower that would reach heaven.

But later, in order to stop mankind's plan, God changed the language spoken by mankind, making it different, so that humans could no longer communicate with each other. The plan therefore failed, and mankind has since scattered.

But the problem is that there is no so-called "Bible" in this alien world, and God is not Jehovah, but Omer.

This ambiguous feeling appeared again, making Jilan feel quite strange.

"The Tower of Babel is the residence of the White Dove Poet of the October Hour. It is located in the Temple area on the top floor of the God's Homeland. Pass through the Scorpio Gate of the October Ascension and cross the River of the White Dove to reach the bottom of the tower."

Pala patiently explained to Gilan.

"It is said that the Tower of Babel was built by Lady Ya, the sixth month of the lunar calendar, as a betrothal gift to a poet. However, after the poet accepted the gift, he rejected the lady's pursuit with a lie."

"Hmm?" Jilan felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu as he listened to these secret histories that could not be verified.

What does accepting a gift mean?

If this kind of thing happened in the previous life, it would be against Tiangang!
As a god, how could he be so stupid?

At this moment, Jilan seemed to have forgotten what he had done and was complaining in his heart.

"So, in addition to the Eclipse Society and the Crescent Moon Society, the White Dove Poets are also involved in this matter?"

Gillan frowned.

"It's very likely." Sadie said at this time. "In fact, 'Soul King' Luo Seshu is the real controller of the God's Hometown 'Black Cemetery', and the 'Black Cemetery' has another name - 'Hell'."

"Therefore, Losershu is also honored as the 'King of Hell'."

Hearing this, Jilan suddenly understood.

The "Eclipse Society" is an extreme secret society that believes in "windmill cats" and is deeply involved with the devil. As the king of hell, the "Spirit King" is naturally involved.

"No wonder..." he thought thoughtfully.

"The birth of Hell was caused by the pollution of the ancient evil god 'Lord Sulfur'. Under him, the two most powerful kings of Hell are 'Windmill Cat' and 'Spirit King'."

Pala picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Beneath the silver-plated glasses, there is a pair of deep eyes.

"Now that 'Windmill Cat' is injured, it's not surprising that 'Spirit King' would lend a hand."

He suddenly thought of something and took a deep breath.
"Today is already April 4th, and it's getting close to the end of the month. I'm afraid that in the next few days, a major incident will break out in the empire."

"Why are you so sure, teacher?"

Gillan asked.

Ms. Sade answered his doubts:
"Because April is the month of 'Miss Elegy'. Although the 'Three Artistic Officials' have conflicts with each other, they are united in most of the time."

"Next month will be the month of 'Twin Kite', and the 'lower level' of God's hometown will be out of control. Therefore, before the end of this month, with the tacit consent of 'Miss Elegy', the devils can unscrupulously pass through the border and come to the mortal world..."

After the lady said this, Jilan understood.

Pala looked up and said to his students:

"Don't worry, I have made the corresponding preparations. I also have plans and emergency measures for unexpected events. The Mysterious Investigation Committee and the Purification and Balance Departments have also received my orders."

"Jilan, I have a task for you."

"Please speak, teacher." Jilan lowered his head slightly.

"Once something unexpected happens, I will work together with Miss Sade to find and eliminate the mastermind behind the Crescent Moon Society as soon as possible."

Pala ordered seriously.

"But you will be responsible for the demon army and members of the Eclipse Society that may appear. The personnel in each department are led by corresponding team leaders, but they are powerless against powerful warriors above level 5 or even level 6. They can only rely on you."

Although Gillan wondered why the two knight commanders, "Ferryman" Carl and "Silent" Adams, did not take action, he did not ask.

Presumably these two strong men have more important tasks.

It is a pity that Mr. Agni, the "King of the Helmets" and the deputy leader, sacrificed himself in the operation to encircle and suppress the "Windmill Cats".

At that time, in order to seal the volcano, Pala used the "Philosopher's Sword" at an excessive capacity. The powerful alchemy caused the "King of Doumao" to permanently lose his self and identity, and he could only move in the Land of God.

Otherwise, this time the response would definitely be a lot easier.

"If students know this, they will live up to the trust placed in them."

Jilan said solemnly.

Pala smiled with relief and nodded:
"Jilan, this will be your first time to take charge of the overall situation, and it may also be the last time I will cover for you... I believe you can do it well." Jilan, who heard the teacher's subtext, felt a little stuffy in his chest. He had to take a deep breath and agreed again.

...

...

After discussing the important matters, the three did not part ways, but ordered some staple foods and simply had a meal in the cafe.

And chat about other topics.

The sun had completely set and the sky was completely dark. The street outside the French window was flashing with lights of various colors, and carriages, cars, and pedestrians were bustling about. It was quite prosperous, and there was no trace of the desolation during the miasma disaster half a year ago.

"Human beings have always been so tenacious."

Pala noticed the student looking out the window and sighed.

“No matter how devastating a natural disaster is, as long as you survive it, you will recover quickly. Perhaps the depths of the body, soul, and consciousness have already been branded with countless sufferings to adapt to this sad material world.”

As he spoke, Pala also looked out the window and murmured:
"I just hope that day will come sooner. Unfortunately, I may not be able to see it..."

Gilan heard the teacher's whisper and felt bad. He knew what Pala meant by "that day".

This is the dream that the "Healing Knights" have been fighting for for hundreds of years - to sweep away the darkness and create a peaceful and prosperous world.

"By the way, Sensei, after I won the 'Six-party Gambling Tournament', I received some letters from the secret cult societies."

Jilan thought about it and decided to change the subject to dispel the teacher's sadness, and took out the two letters.

After Pala took it and opened it, he saw the symbol inside: a hand-painted pattern of a book surrounded by a triangular alchemical symbol and a black rose petal.

"This is the symbol of 'Solidified Bookstore' and 'Withered Nobility'."

Pala explained with a smile.

As he explained, Jilan also learned the information about the two secret societies.

Ninggu Bookstore is an ancient organization that believes in "Ms. Snow" of September. Their history can be traced back thousands of years.

This group of people also pursues the truth and mystery of alchemy, but unlike the "Midnight Rose", they are driven and creed by collecting knowledge.

What they despise the most are those who sell alchemical products as commodities, believing that this is a blasphemy against knowledge.

It was precisely because Solidified Bookstore collected too much knowledge that it aroused the hostility of the "Withered Nobility".

The Withered Nobles, who believed in the Twin Kites of May, secretly controlled the Church of Atonement. It can be said that all the clergy of the Church of Atonement in the empire were selected and dispatched by the Withered Nobles.

This group of people believes in collecting "secrets" and possesses countless intelligence.

The "secret" knowledge also belongs to the category of "secret", so they hated "Ninggu Bookstore" and besieged it more than once, trying to destroy it.

Jilan found it interesting to hear about the grievances and hatreds between these two ancient secret societies.

He couldn't help but look up at Ms. Sade, who responded with a meaningful smile.

'Withered Garden, Withered Tea Party, Withered Nobility...'

Jilan said to himself.

Noticing Ms. Sadeh's smile, he was basically certain that the secret society called "Withered Nobility" had a direct relationship with these three May Apostles.

"Jilan, you can try to make friends with these two secret societies. It will not be bad for you or the empire."

Pala suggested.

"Okay, teacher." Jilan nodded in agreement.

Then, he thought for a moment and asked:
"I feel like I'm not far from level 6, but I haven't systematically learned about the conditions required to advance to the 'Strength' level. Can the teacher explain this to me?"

"Um... ah?"

Pala nodded at first, but then raised her head suddenly.

"How long have you been promoted to level 5?"

"About a month."

Gillan answered honestly.

Pala took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

"Could it be that it is really because of the legendary 'saint' physique that he has made such rapid progress?"

"It's not impossible." Sade, who was standing beside him, lit another cigarette and said seriously, "As an apostle in charge of the 'secret', as far as I know, except for the original Si Chen, no one else can contain the four cosmic elements at the same time in a human body."

"Perhaps, this is destiny."

Parra sighed.

"It is destined that I will be able to accept a 'saint' as my student before I die..."

As he spoke, he looked at Jilan with eyes full of expectation, and even a subtle hint of...

gratitude.

"Jilan, to advance to the sixth level of 'Power' essence, in addition to the most basic spiritual knowledge and spirituality that need to reach the limit of the mortal human body, there is another important condition."

Parra laughed.

"That is to successfully find the God's Hometown 'Corridor' and leave a rumor in it."

"Leave a 'rumor' in 'God's Hometown Corridor'?"

Gillan was puzzled.

"Please ask the teacher to clarify your doubts."

"Let me answer for your teacher."

Sadie shook her head and said casually:
"It is to let the residents of the Divine Land remember your deeds. The simplest way is to get to know an ascender living in the Corridor and let him record your deeds. That will be enough."

"It's simple, right?"

"Uh..." Jilan was stunned. "It's really simple."

Teacher Pala shook his head.

"This is only simple for you. How can an ordinary mystic meet an ascender unless he is lucky? This is nothing short of a fantasy... Generally speaking, the difficulty of advancing from level 5 to level 6 is extremely high, second only to the real ascension!"

Sadie on the side couldn't help but laugh.

Gillan took a deep breath, overjoyed.

The original worries disappeared!
