From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 516 Credentials
Crack, crackle!
In the open space of the Berthollet Orphanage.

At this time, several boys aged five or six were holding thin wooden sticks and besieging the tall young man in the middle, who was blocking with a white cane.

The sound of the collision was crackling and very "intense".

The rest of the boys and girls watched intently.

The children who usually have a good time playing games were still waving their fists and cheering for the boys who were participating in the game.

After a "struggle", one of the thin boys with short hair unexpectedly hit the young man's left leg with a wooden stick.

Snapped!
"I won!" The boy raised his stick and shouted happily. "Haha, I won!"

"Evan, you're amazing."

Gillan held up his white cane and smiled gently.

He pretended to be in pain and rubbed his left leg.

"You will definitely become an excellent staff practitioner in the future."

"Thank you Mr. Gillan for the compliment!"

The child's face was filled with excitement when he received praise, but he still did not forget the teachings of Dean Mircella and remained humble and polite at all times.

Gillan nodded secretly.

He looked at the other children and praised them:

"You guys are really good too. Your attack is so fierce that I have to defend myself in a panic..."

The boys looked at each other and were very happy.

Then, Gillan had several rounds of "Staff Fighting Competition" with other boys, but the results were all without exception, and he ended up in "miserable defeat".

And every time, he would praise the boys who participated in the game.

Of course, Gillan did not favor the boys and also played games with the girls, such as "Throwing Arrows Across the River", which involves throwing thin wooden sticks outside the drawn line to see who can throw farther and who can hit the circle target, thereby calculating points and competing.

And every time he was "slightly inferior", allowing the girl to win the game.

The girls' laughter put Jilan in a good mood.

It was approaching noon.

The atmosphere in the orphanage is still very good.

The children had a lot of fun, and those who were tired sat aside with cakes and desserts and ate them in silence.

Dean Mircella invited Gillan to lunch, but he declined.

"Although it's a pity, Lord Jilan must have important matters to attend to, so I won't try to keep you any longer."

Mircella said with a smile as she sent Jilan to the door of the orphanage.

"Thank you so much for taking the time to come today and play with the kids. I can see they all like you very much."

“They are all a bunch of cute little guys, and I like them very much.”

Gillan smiled, holding his cane.

He touched his chest and bowed, then said goodbye and left.

Mircella watched the young man's back disappear at the end of the street before returning to the yard.

The children swarmed over and talked about the "big brother" reluctantly, asking if he would come again in the future.

Mircella sighed secretly, but smiled kindly to express her affirmation.

She also specifically instructed the children:

"Mr. Gillan is a big shot in our Bremen Empire. You should learn from him..."

"Big shot?" a girl asked curiously. "What big shot, Dean Myrcella?"

"Mr. Gillan is the face of our empire when dealing with the leaders of other countries!"

Myrcella explained with a smile.

"Wow!" the children exclaimed.

Another boy who had participated in the cane-fighting competition asked:

"Dean Mircella, I heard on the radio that our country is at war with the Federation... Mr. Gillan, will he help the Empire defeat the Federation?"

"How is that possible!" The boy next to him shook his head. "As much as I like Mr. Gillan, he even lost to us in the cane competition!"

Dean Mircella listened and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She could only say:
"Mr. Gilan will. He is not good at staff techniques, and defeating the Federation does not rely on staff techniques... In short, Mr. Gilan will beat the Federation to a pulp!"

"Hahaha!"

The children laughed happily and started to cheer in unison:

"Beat the Federation to pieces!"

...

...

After leaving the orphanage, Gillan did not go back home, but continued to walk deeper into South Muse.

He came to South Muse today to check on the children on behalf of his teacher, but at the same time, he also planned to take care of one matter.

That is to clean up a secret society called "Traveler Circus".

The organization had previously pursued two lone mysterious individuals, causing casualties among residents and the collapse of shops in East Muse, causing quite a stir.

Although a small team of commissioners was dispatched to hunt them down, some of them still slipped through the net. According to the commission's intelligence network, they are currently hiding in the residential area of ​​South Muse.

As soon as Ji Lan took office as the chairman, he was ready to kill these guys like chickens to serve as a warning to others.

This wasn’t his first visit to South Muse.

I am quite familiar with this place.

Walking through the dirty and barren streets, and passing the unemployed men with numb faces on the roadside, Gillan gradually came to a remote neighborhood filled with garbage and stench.

Not far away, there are crowded and old buildings.

He stopped by the roadside and looked up at one of the low buildings painted red with a deep gaze.

...

...

In a low building.

On the third floor, in a rental house at the inner side.

At this moment, five men and women were gathered in the living room, some standing and some sitting, looking bored and anxious.

"…So, what should we do next?"

A slim woman with short hair and revealing clothes spoke while smoking a cigarette.

She had a flame tattoo on her right arm and her face was covered in weird, heavy make-up, purple eyeshadow and green lip gloss.

"The two men are dead, but we didn't get the stuff. We messed up what the boss asked us to do, and now we're being targeted by the investigation committee. Steven and his team were slow to run, so they were killed on the spot by the committee!"

When the "boss" was mentioned, the woman's face showed awe. It was obvious that she had not completed the task and the consequences were very serious.

At this time, a sturdy man sitting on the sofa rubbed his short hair and murmured:
"Don't worry. Although I didn't find the 'Platinum Borrowing Card' from those two people, I used my Essence ability to hear them mention a place called 'Silver Lizard Club'. Maybe the thing is hidden there."

"Listen, everyone." The burly man with a crew cut raised his head, and a serious look appeared on his face, which was covered with thick pale foundation and a crying clown makeup. He said:
"The 'Platinum Borrowing Card' is very important to the boss, we must get it... Only with the certificate can we pass through the 'Solidified Bookstore' smoothly and go to their 'Great Library' hidden around the world."

“There is a lot of mysterious knowledge collected there, which must include the secret of ascension!”

"The boss has been at level 6 for nearly a hundred years, and his accumulation is sufficient. He just lacks the secret of ascension to increase the success rate... If he can ascend successfully, then our members of the Traveler Circus will also benefit greatly!"

Listening to the strong man's words, everyone nodded.

They certainly understand the importance of the matter.

But the problem was that the investigation committee of the Bremen Empire had been alerted. More than half of the members of their team that had infiltrated the empire were killed or wounded, and it was very difficult to move forward.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be hiding in this slum and dare not show his head.

"Don't you find it strange?"

A tall and thin man leaning against the sofa spoke.

He was wearing long pants and a leather jacket, with a black sweatshirt underneath with the hood covering his head. Only his bright red lips could be vaguely seen, revealing a big smiling face.

"I remember that the mysterious investigation committee would not kill people directly during law enforcement, but this time, Steven and his men were violently killed by the committee before they even had a chance to say anything."

"Is it because the Chairman of the Empire, the 'White Sage' Para Celsus, passed away recently..."

A dwarf sitting on the back of the sofa supported his chin and spoke weakly.

His voice was very strange, like that of a child, or like that of an old man speaking with a squeezed throat.

"Hasn't the newspapers and radio been talking about this? It's precisely because the chairman is dead that the Empire is using this cruel method to intimidate the mysterious side."

"It sounds like a show of strength on the outside but weakness on the inside, huh."

The last woman with big curly hair sitting on the sofa laughed. She was wearing a slit gown and her long white legs were raised.

"This is actually good news for us. The committee is leaderless. As long as we act quickly and get the 'Platinum Library Card' and escape directly, they will not have enough energy to continue chasing us."

"What Callander said is quite true."

The burly man with the crying clown face nodded.

"Then we will act tonight... When it gets dark, we will go to the 'Silver Lizard Club' in North Muse together. After we find the things, we will leave the imperial capital directly, go to other places, take the train out of the country, and return to the Owena Federation."

"Agree." A young man's voice sounded.

"agree."

The others echoed.

But at this moment.

The five people present realized that something was wrong.

Because of the voice of the young man, they felt very unfamiliar.

Swish!
Almost at the same time, the five people suddenly turned their heads and looked behind the sofa.

Behind the burly man, there stood a young man with blond and red hair and purple eyes.

The other person was dressed in formal attire, a white shirt, a black vest, a high-collared black striped coat, and a white cane in his hand.

Just stood there with a calm expression.

wow——

The strong man and Big Wave stood up from the sofa instantly, and the dwarf screamed and jumped off the backrest.

Five men and women stood together, looking wary at the strange and mysterious young man in front of them, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

How did he show up?!

When did he appear? !
who is he? !

Many questions lingered in their minds.

The intense confusion brought about the fear of the unknown.

At this moment, the woman with short hair and tattoos noticed that a "door" had appeared in the corner of the room without anyone noticing.

To be precise, it was a wall that was forcibly "dug" out, forming a square opening.

The other party had apparently used some unknown means to quietly break through the wall and entered the room. Without the five of them noticing, he stood behind the sofa...

Thinking of this, the short-haired woman's breathing paused.

My heart was trembling.
