From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 493 Bookstore

Chapter 493 Bookstore
"It is indeed destined."

Jilan said with a smile and took a seat.

He turned and glanced at Cecilia.

When he first came to the bookstore, his strength was still shallow and he had just stepped into the "Path of Fire Sword" not long ago, so he was unable to recognize the identity of the other party's mysterious person.

But with just a quick glance, his spiritual vision could see through the strength of the three ladies present.

All of them are level 4 "referees".

These are three Kuze sisters.

Jilan couldn't help but speculate that the nine "Molan" sisters might all be long-lived people.

"I wonder who this is?"

Jilan raised his hand politely, across the small round table, and extended it to the woman with pigtails.

The "Molan" lady gave a shy and ladylike smile, stretched out her little hand and shook hands gently with Jilan.

Her beautiful eyes moved and she whispered:
"Vanessa Moran. I am the last among the sisters, the ninth sister... It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gillan Iros, the youngest and most outstanding foreign minister of the empire, the head of the mysterious investigation committee, and the great hero of Coburn."

"Ms. Vanessa, you are so kind."

Gillan smiled and found it amusing.

The Moran sisters seem to have different personalities, each with their own characteristics.

For example, Cecilia, the eldest sister, is mature and steady, with a queen-like aura; Yaz, the sixth sister, is smart and kind-hearted; and Vanessa, the ninth sister, hides a hint of playfulness under her ladylike appearance.

At this time, Cecilia adjusted her round-frame glasses and asked tentatively:
"I wonder what Mr. Gillan wants to talk to you about today?"

Hearing her question, her two younger sisters, Yaz and Vanessa, also cast curious glances at Gillan.

"Um……"

Jilan hesitated for a moment and said frankly:
"I want to contact the 'Solidified Bookstore' behind you. I need help with something."

Although the three sisters were surprised, they did not try to hide it. The eldest sister Cecilia thought for a moment and asked tentatively:
"I wonder why Mr. Gillan needs help?"

"I plan to collect the 6th level secrets."

Gillan Road.

"As far as I know, the 'Solidified Bookstore' holds most of the secrets of the world..."

"I see."

Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Jilan is not representing the imperial government and causing trouble for "Ninggu Bookstore", everything will be fine.

She thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"But Mr. Jilan, please be prepared. Although the Solidification Bookstore has collected a lot of mysterious knowledge, the 6th-level secrets are too precious and they may not be willing to give them out..."

"It's ok."

Gillan shook his head.

He took out the congratulatory letter from "Ninggu Bookstore" that he had received after winning the "Six-Party Gamble" and placed it on the small round table.

"They wrote me a letter, saying that if I showed enough sincerity, the bookstore would be willing to share the secret."

The three sisters looked at each other.

Cecilia said:
"In that case, I will contact 'Solidified Bookstore' for Mr. Gillan."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Gillan nodded, pinching his hat.

Cecilia pulled out a locked, nameless book with a gleaming, snow-white cover.

Gillan saw it clearly.

The book in her hand had a cover made of "salt crystals" and no one knew what the purpose was.

'In alchemy, salt symbolizes the solidification process of material change, and is also a manifestation of the law of "Ms. Snow" in September... So is this the origin of the name "Solidification Bookstore"? '

Gilan guessed in his heart.

Then, Cecilia was seen opening the book with a special small silver key.

Wow…

The moment the book was opened, a dazzling white light burst out from it, and pages of paper with intricate patterns flew out.

Like butterflies flying in the sky, hovering in the bookstore.

"Cecilia wants to see Mr. Walter Van Cleef, the 'bookkeeper.'"

I only heard the female shop owner calling softly.

Immediately, the flying papers seemed to have received instructions, flew back in an orderly manner, and pieced themselves together above everyone's heads.

Ninety-nine pages formed a square.

The intricate patterns drawn on it just formed a huge alchemical array, which glowed brilliantly.

An almost lifelike translucent figure walked out and came to the bookstore.

This is an elderly man with a messy and shaggy white beard that has not been groomed for a long time.

He was very tall, at least over two meters tall. He held a wooden cane in his hand, with an old-fashioned kerosene lamp hanging on the handle. He wore a brown flannel beret, a tweed coat, and a long string of brass keys jingling on his belt.

"Cecilia, I'm busy. There are three floors of books in the Second Library that are moldy and need to be cleaned and maintained in time... Hmm?"

As the tall old man was speaking, he noticed that in addition to the three sisters of the Moran family, there was also a young man in the bookstore.

This young man is wearing a suit and a top hat, has red hair in a ponytail, has a pair of charming purple eyes, and has an extraordinary temperament.

"This... could it be Mr. Gillan Iros from the Bremen Empire?!"

The old man asked in surprise.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Walter."

Gillan stood up, took off his hat and held out his hand.

The old man looked at him twice more and stretched out his hand to shake it.

Although he was just a projection and had no entity, he still maintained basic courtesy.

"Cecilia, why did this big shot come to your store?"

Walter chuckled and asked the female owner.

Cecilia chose her words and then relayed Gillan's needs to the old man.

"...So that's it."

The old man nodded.

He returned his gaze to the purple-eyed young man.

"Mr. Gilan, we have actually been paying attention to you for a long time. After all, there have been many rumors about you over the past year, and they are all major events that shocked the mysterious world."

Walter coughed. "We were planning to make friends with you. Since you came here on your own initiative and want the 6th-level secret, we are naturally willing to present our collection and share it with you..."

"If you have any conditions, please tell me."

Gillan nodded and smiled.

"'Ninggu Bookstore' is also a secret society that believes in 'Ms. Snow'. I believe they also abide by the principle of 'equivalent exchange'."

"Yes, sir."

Walt laughed.

"I know that you are not only a high-ranking official in the Bremen Empire, but also a great alchemist of the new era, and you are well-known in the 'Midnight Rose'."

"It's all just empty reputation."

Gillan waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, the old man stopped praising her and said after pretending to be silent for a while:
"According to the rules of the bookstore, the secrets above the level of Jiushi are not shared with outsiders, especially the 6th level... But if it is Mr. Gilan, we are willing to exchange it for an equal value."

"I wonder what price you are willing to offer?"

Seeing that the old man threw the question back to him, Jilan had a plan in mind.

He thought about it and expressed his sincerity:
"Five white cards in exchange for a Level 6 secret."

Because the 6th level secret is not circulated in the market, it is difficult to set a price. But Jilan used the "background" secret that Ms. Crow gave him at the friendly price of 1 white card as a reference.

After hearing the offer, the three Cecilia sisters looked at each other in surprise.

Because the price is already quite high.

"Mr. Gillan is indeed very sincere."

Walter was very satisfied and nodded.

"Hmm...I wonder which secret book you want, sir?"

"Except for the February 'set', all the 6th level secrets of the Crucible Spiral and the Theosophical Spiral."

Gillan adjusted his hat and said calmly.

"Ok?"

Everyone, including the three sisters, was shocked.

Walter's mouth opened slightly.

"Why does Mr. Gillan need so many secret teachings?"

He was not worried that the other party could not afford the bargaining chips, but he was worried that so many level 6 secrets would be at risk of being leaked on a large scale.

This goes against the purpose of "Ninggu Bookstore".

As an administrator, he needs to be held accountable.

"Actually, this is not a secret."

Gillan thought for a moment and said.

"The path I am taking is not the path of the twelve zodiac signs, but a path I have explored on my own, so I need the secrets of other paths as a reference."

"If Mr. Walter is worried that I will spread the news, you can ask the Twin Kite to be a witness..."

"Mr. is serious."

Walter said quickly.

Asking the "Twin Kites" to act as witnesses is a common practice in transactions, but the current situation is obviously different.

Gillan Iros is not a lone mysterious person with unknown background. His identity and status are unique, and Walter does not want to make enemies with the young man because of this.

After a mental struggle, the old man gritted his teeth and said:
"I believe you will not easily leak the sixth-level secrets. If you just want to comprehend it yourself for reference, I am willing to make this deal with you on behalf of the bookstore."

"Thank you Mr. Walter for your trust."

Gillan smiled.

"I wonder when I can get the secret medium? Or rather, the oral secret medium?"

"Um……"

Walter showed a hint of embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gilan. Although I'm the bookstore manager, I haven't read every secret book, so I can't tell you orally... And the number of level 6 secret books you need is too large, and they are stored in libraries in different regions, so it will take time to dispatch them."

After some explanation, Jilan finally found out.

"Solidified Bookstore" has a total of nine secret libraries, built in corners of the world and little known to the public.

The seven secrets that Jilan needed were kept in the third and fourth libraries. It just so happened that the location of these two libraries was not in the Bremen Empire, but in the Owena Federation.

"So how long will it take?"

Gillan asked, frowning slightly.

Seeing him frown, old Mr. Walter coughed and said cautiously:
"Conservatively estimated, it will take two months..."

"Two months?"

Jilan's heart sank.

He couldn't possibly wait that long.

The teacher's life is coming to an end, and there are too many unknown variables. He needs to be promoted to level 6 as soon as possible to gain stronger power.

At this time, Walter said with a bitter face:

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Gilan. Right now, Bu and Ao are at war. Both sides have cut off communication and transportation. Our alchemy array cannot teleport across such a long distance..."

Ji Lan suddenly thought of something.

Aren’t “White Gull” Alevia and “Black Snipe” Weiner right here in the Federation?

Let them get the secret teachings for you, and then pass them to you through the Dream Collection. This way you can avoid a lot of trouble and you don't have to wait so long.

"Well, Mr. Walter."

Gillan raised his hand to signal.

"You guys dispatch the secret teachings, and I'll have someone get them for me in the Owena Federation, how do you think?"

"This couldn't be better!"

Walter said quickly.

Gillan nodded, and without further ado, he took out 35 "Sal Cards" and handed them to Ms. Cecilia beside him.

"Happy Trading."

"Happy transaction, sir."

The wrinkles on Walter's face were all smiling.
