From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 479 Convergence
Yaz Moran's face changed slightly.

She wanted to deny it, but when she looked up and saw those charming and deep purple-red eyes, she swallowed the words back into her stomach.

So the female shop owner winked at Gillan.

Then he shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, sir, I haven't heard of 'Solidified Bookstore'."

Gillan noticed Yaz's look and understood. The other party had actually acquiesced, and what he said was just for others to hear.

"Yeah." Gillan nodded.

He glanced at the man and woman behind Yaz and changed the subject:

"Now that Coburn is in trouble, I am here to rescue him on behalf of the imperial officials and the mysterious investigation committee. The follow-up support team is on the way, but we are currently short of manpower. I wonder if you are willing to accept my recruitment?"

"recruit?"

Everyone in the bookstore, including Yaz, was stunned.

Jilan nodded, turned around and said to the back:
"Mr. Stork."

A steady man who looked to be in his thirties walked over. He was also wearing a suit and a blue tie, and his hair was combed meticulously.

It was none other than the “index finger” in “Hand of Dawn,” Franco Thurman.

He was sent by Lady Crow to lead a team of "film critics" to support Gilan. After the two sides met at the Dawn Cathedral, they set out together and passed by here.

"Ms. Yaz, I am Cang Guan from the Record Society and the leader of this team."

Franco said in a deep voice.

"We will assist Mr. Gillan Iros in fighting the mysterious disaster that is happening in Qyburn."

After hearing this, everyone in the bookstore understood something.

They had all heard of the Recording Society and knew it was a secret society that believed in the "Director" of the February Hour.

Obviously, they have now agreed to the official recruitment to help fight the disaster.

"I promise you that the Empire will not investigate your identities as mysterious persons afterwards. Instead, you will be rewarded accordingly..."

Gillan placed his hands on the top of the stick that was pounding the ground and spoke slowly.

"If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to officially join the mysterious investigation committee."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the bookstore looked delighted.

They will not be liquidated and will have the opportunity to join the official organization. This is a very good destination for lone mysterious people like them.

Except for the shop owner Yaz, the others were all quite interested.

"I'm sure you're all familiar with Mr. Gillan Iros..."

The stork said solemnly.

"He won't break his promise."

"Of course, we certainly believe it!"

Langer was excited and looked excited.

They knew a lot about the rumors about the Empire's Foreign Minister. This powerful man had a high prestige and had never had a bad reputation.

The promises made by the other party now also convinced everyone.

"I am willing to accept your recruitment, sir."

Yaz thought about it and spoke.

“We are also willing to assist.”

The others also echoed.

If they don't join Gillan's team now, it will be difficult for them to escape from Coburn and they will be in danger at any time.

Might as well seize this opportunity.

Who knows, after the incident, he might be able to transform himself from a mysterious person who hides from the public into an official investigation committee member.

Seeing that no one in the bookstore refused, Jilan smiled and nodded. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, maybe this is what Teacher Pala said... the power of fame?

...

...

With the addition of these people from the bookstore, the team's strength has been expanded.

Jilan led them through the city, killing all the demons along the way.

Of course, they hardly took any action the entire time, they just watched from the sidelines, because there was no need at all.

Mr. Gillan, who was walking in the front, shook his cane, and the sound of the bell would capture all the demons wandering nearby.

Although no one knows where they go, in the end, they will all turn into small glass balls that are decomposed and reconstructed by alchemy and put into Mr. Gillan's pocket.

Among them, there are also many hell nobles.

This terrifying strength and means shocked everyone.

Perhaps this is the attitude that a strong person who has truly reached the pinnacle of the mysterious realm should have?

Gilan led the team to the Church of the Atonement and the Church of Our Lady, helping the two temporary shelters to clear out the demons that gathered around them, thus alleviating a lot of pressure on them.

Including the Cathedral of Dawn, these three churches have taken in many refugees, adding up to tens of thousands of people. And this number is still increasing.

It was soon noon.

The sun is hanging in the sky.

Gillan looked up at the sky.

The gradually forming solar eclipse became more and more serious, and nearly half of the scorching sun had been swallowed up by darkness.

"Mr. Gillan, I have a very bad feeling."

The stork stood beside him and also looked up, with a very solemn expression on his face.

Jilan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, me too."

As the eclipse progressed, his spiritual warnings became more frequent.

"The Eclipse Society deliberately set off this devil wave. It is impossible that it was just to disturb the empire. There must be a conspiracy."

"Unfortunately, we still haven't found the location of the dream gate... If the solar eclipse in the sky is completely formed, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Jilan thought for a moment, then turned and walked up to the group of lone mysterious people and asked:

"Did you find anything special when you were hiding in the bookstore before?"

He looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and added:
"I have been hunting demons along the way, but their numbers are increasing instead of decreasing... So we must find the source of the demons. If we cannot destroy them, the situation will only get worse."

"Mr. Rangel has been out investigating the most, so he might know something."

Ms. Yaz thought for a moment and said. Langer, who was standing by, was stunned at first, and when he saw Gillan's gaze, he became a little nervous.

After thinking carefully, Langer suddenly thought of something and said quickly:
"In the heart of Cockburn, there is an aristocratic manor area. I found that there are not many demons there. I don't know if this is abnormal."

Hearing this, Ji Lan looked thoughtful.

"Thank you for the information, Mr. Rangel."

He thought about it and decided to go over there and take a look.

At this moment, the alchemical hotline in his arms vibrated.

Gillan pulls out the hotline and answers it.

Click.

Maiev's voice came from the other end:

"Sir, the support team has arrived in Coburn City. The transport plane has landed on the outskirts and is awaiting your instructions."

"Tell them to come to the city and gather at the Dawn Cathedral."

Jilan said solemnly.

Maiev, who was in the Triumph Building in the capital, immediately agreed and sent urgent instructions to the support team.

...

...

after an hour.

Gilan led the team back to the Dawn Cathedral and reunited with the support sent by the committee.

More than a hundred elite troops gathered in the square.

Half of them were committee members, led by five high-ranking members of the special operations team, all of whom were fifth-level Hisaishi.

Aurora, the leader of the Holy Sisters, saw Gillan and Mr. Stork again and a smile appeared on her face.

But she did not go up to reminisce, after all, it was not the right occasion.

"Gures, Manning, Beldych, Elona, ​​and Parado, the five of you will lead your teams and head toward the north and east of Coburn to eliminate the demons along the way."

Gilan instructed everyone on the committee.

He turned around again and looked at the other assistants.

"Ms. Aurora, Mr. Franco, Ms. Yaz, the three of you will work together to clear out the demons in the west."

"Father Jennings, Mr. Neville, Miss Enna, the three of you will also act together and be responsible for heading south..."

Following his instructions, everyone responded with serious expressions.

Jilan looked at the solar eclipse in the sky again and said in a deep voice:

"Don't force yourself, just do your best. You can't kill all the demons until the gates of hell are closed."

"I will go find the door alone. Please try to buy me some time."

"Yes, Mr. Gillan (Sir)."

Everyone nodded.

Gillan took a deep breath and swung his cane.

A blood mist exploded, and the cane disappeared without a trace.

Jilan's image suddenly changed amidst the blood mist. He was covered in a hideous stone-bone armor, with a scarlet cape fluttering in the wind.

boom!
A sturdy armored white ram dropped from the sky, and Jilan rode on it. The knight stepped on the void, leaving a series of green flame hoof prints, and flew into the distance.

"Leave now!"

Gilan's hoarse voice echoed over the square.

Everyone bowed towards the air, then dispersed in all directions in tacit agreement.

A rescue operation led by Gillan himself was launched in Cockburn City.

He himself rode on a wild goat in the posture of "King" and flew over the city, heading towards the clue he had previously obtained from Langell.

"The noble manor area?"

Gilan murmured as he faced the strong wind from high in the sky.

"If it's not there, we can only conduct a blanket search. I hope it's not too late..."

At this time, the densely packed red-skinned devils spotted the knight running in the air and attacked with strange smiles.

Jilan had a blank expression on his face. He pulled the reins of the caracal and charged forward at a faster speed.

boom--

The cloak behind him fluttered like a randomly deformed scarlet scimitar, tearing into pieces any demons that approached.

At the same time, silver arcs continued to flash, decomposing and reconstructing the killed demons into glass beads, which were collected by Jilan.

Not long after.

Gillan found the area that Langer mentioned.

He looked down and saw that, just as the other party had said, there was almost no trace of the devil in that area full of green plants and manors.

This aroused Gillan's suspicion even more.

"Go!" He swung the reins, and the wildebeest swung its hooves with force and fell at a very fast speed.

hum! !

Just as Gillan approached the manor area, it was as if he passed through an invisible barrier, causing his vision to blur.

Immediately—

"a ha ha ha!"

"Hahaha!!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

“We have arrived at the world of delicious food!”

Jilan seemed to have entered an extremely noisy world, with his ears filled with buzzing sounds.

What came into view was a huge whirlpool above the manor, from which red-skinned demons were flying out continuously.

Obviously, what we saw in the distance before was all an illusion!
This is the source of the gate to hell!
It's just covered up by some means!
Suddenly, hundreds of demons discovered Jilan who had broken in, and cast malicious glances at him from mid-air.

"Intruder!"

"It's an intruder!!"
