From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 549 Go
The dark night sky is as quiet as water.

The entire dream was in dead silence.

The deep sea of ​​dreams reflects the moonless night sky, appearing exceptionally dark.

A vast land floats in the depths of the ocean, and between the mountains stands only a towering black castle.

A young man with short blond-red hair, wearing a nightgown, was sitting cross-legged on top of the clock tower in the center of the castle, meditating with his eyes closed.

At this moment, Gillan used his clairvoyance to the fullest.

The entire Black Castle was within his perception range.

The air around was filled with waves. These waves had no color or shape, but were just an extremely obscure trace of energy.

It is harmless to the Ascended and undetectable to mortals.

If you don't pay attention to it, it can be easily ignored like air.

'There are a lot of ripples in Castle Black.'

Jilan observed silently and found that the closer he got to the castle attic, the more numerous and denser the "ripples" became.

Because that was Miss Torina's boudoir.

He took a deep breath, secretly activated his own spirituality, and then relaxed his mind, pulling in the "ripple" energy around him as if he had absorbed the elements of the universe before.

In an instant, the "ripples" began to twist, as if they had turned into a black hole with Jilan as the center, swallowing up the lines and taking all the "ripples" into its body.

Jilan felt an indescribable sense of comfort as he felt the "ripple" energy flowing through his body and gradually filling up his body.

'panel.'

He secretly said.

Immediately, a colorful frame appeared in the field of vision:

"Gilan Iros (Mo Xing)."

"Male, 22 years old."

"Original level: Level 7."

"Protoplasm: Cheating (Original)."

"… (omitted)"

"Ripple energy: 620."

"Mystery points: 23970."

"Candidate for Sichen (owner of the String of Law)."

Gilan looked at his panel and knew what was going on.

One day of practice can accumulate about 100 points of "ripple energy", which is equivalent to one year of hard practice for an average 7th-level ascender.

If one wants to meet the requirements to be promoted to Level 8 Transmuter, then the conversion would be approximately 10000 points.

'It will only take about three or four months, or at most half a year, for me to start the "transmutation"?'

Ji Lan was quite surprised.

But he quickly realized that he had unique advantages that others did not have. It would be strange if his cultivation speed was not fast!
After all, which Ascendant could live directly next to Si Chen, with only a bed missing? Which Ascendant possessed a complete "string of law" and a source of "ripples"?
Gillan shook his head.

He spent more than an hour digesting the absorbed "ripples" and then used his spirituality to activate the "strings of law" that he possessed once again.

Round after round of "ripples" spread out in all directions with him as the center... However, most of these "ripples" were pulled back by Jilan before they could radiate out, and were absorbed and sold by Jilan himself.

After two consecutive rounds of practice, several hours had passed.

Jilan let out a long breath and stood up contentedly. After stretching his body a little, he turned around and left the clock tower rooftop.

...

...

Torina is still resting.

When Gilan came to His boudoir, which was surrounded by golden bars and looked like a birdcage, He found the girl still lying on the huge princess bed.

The white curtains fell, revealing only a vague outline. Tolina was lying on her side, her little hands resting on the pillow in front of her, sleeping soundly.

Gillan placed his hand on the golden gate handle and twisted it gently.

Click.

The door opened.

'Torina left the door unlocked?'

Ji Lan was startled.

He remembered that the door was locked when he first came here...but now, Torina seemed to have let go of her defenses against him.

Gillan pushed the door open and walked slowly to the bed.

When I opened the curtain, I was met with a pair of dark and beautiful eyes.

"you're awake?"

Gillan and Tolina looked at each other before whispering.

The girl sat up from the bed, her black hair like a waterfall, and she looked pitiful. She nodded slightly and said:
"I heard the gentleman open the door."

"Did it disturb your rest?"

Gillan looked apologetic.

Torina quickly shook her head.

"No. I have always been a light sleeper, and the slightest movement will wake me up."

"No wonder Castle Black is so quiet."

Gillan laughed.

At this time, Torina raised her eyes and asked:
"Sir, are you going back to the mortal world?"

"Yes." Gilan said. "I may stay in the mortal world for a while longer this time. I need to find something that is very important to me."

"Okay." Tolina smiled obediently. "Sir, you can come back anytime... After all, you have already left your mind mark in the Black Castle, so this is also your residence."

"of course."

Gillan smiled as well.

"I feel especially at peace here, especially when I'm with you."

Hearing this, Tolina was startled.

A blush appeared visibly on His fair face.

Jilan leaned down silently and gave the girl a hug, supporting her waist with his right hand and stroking her head with his left hand.

Sniffing the floral scent from Torina's hair, he whispered softly and gently:
"I'll be back soon."

Tolina closed her eyes, enjoying Mr. Gillan's warm embrace. She rested her head on his shoulder and opened her mouth slightly:
"Well, I'll wait for you."

...

…early morning.

Gillan returned to the world through "demotion".

He drove from the apartment at 9 Morales Street and headed to "Moran's Bookstore" in East Muse.

The silver car stopped in the middle of the street.

After getting off the bus, Jilan looked up and saw the sign of a small bookstore on the side of the road.

There were not many pedestrians on the street at this time, just a few men rushing to work, and a few newspaper boys squatting on the side of the road and yawning.

When Gillan arrived at the door of the bookstore, he found that the bookstore was not open for business yet and there was a wooden closed sign hanging on the door handle.

'Is it too early?'

Just as Jilan was wondering whether to wait there or go to a nearby restaurant for breakfast, he heard footsteps coming from inside the bookstore.

Immediately, the door handle turned.

A jingle.

The door of the bookstore opened and a long-haired lady wearing glasses walked out.

The sleepy-eyed lady froze when she saw Gillan standing at the door.

"Mr. Gillan?!"

"Good morning, Cecilia."

Gillan pinched the brim of his hat and greeted in a gentlemanly manner.

The bookstore owner quickly came to her senses and said:
"Good morning, sir."

She seemed quite embarrassed, and stroked her wrinkled collar and hair that she hadn't had time to style several times. She turned aside and led him inside the door, saying:
"Sorry, I am so rude... Please come in, sir."

Jilan smiled and nodded, then walked in.

Not long after.

He sat at a round table in the bookstore, and Cecilia brought him some hot coffee.

"Secor coffee beans, a specialty of the southern part of the empire."

"Thank you."

Gillan took the coffee and took a sip.

At this time, Cecilia stood by the table and asked cautiously:
"I wonder if Mr. Gillan came here today for something important?"

In fact, the news that the "Red Sage" had ascended to heaven not long ago and broke through the encirclement of the federal superiors had already spread among the top people and forces in the mysterious field.

Among them, "Solidified Bookstore" was naturally the first secret society to learn the news, so Cecilia couldn't help feeling a little restrained when facing this "living legend" again.

"Cecilia, sit down and talk. There's no need to be so nervous."

Gillan put down his coffee cup and smiled.

Hearing this, the lady dared to pull out a chair and sit down.

"I plan to go to the big library of your Solidified Bookstore to look for something I need."

Gillan took out a hard card from his coat pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Cecilia.

The lady first glanced at the young man, then picked up the card, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

"Is this the 'Platinum Library Card'?"

Cecilia raised her eyebrows.

"I haven't seen this kind of voucher in a long time... The last time it was issued to a distinguished customer of the bookstore was more than ten years ago."

"I got this card unexpectedly. Can I use it?"

Gillan asked.

Cecilia was startled.

"Sure!" She nodded quickly. "Although the voucher is issued to distinguished guests of the bookstore, it is not signed. Anyone who has the voucher can use it... Of course, given Mr. Gillan's status, if necessary, the bookstore will definitely customize a new 'Platinum Borrowing Card' for you."

"No need." Gilan waved his hand. "As long as this card works, it's fine."

"Then please wait a moment. I will contact Mr. Walter Van Cleef, the 'bookstore manager'."

"it is good."

Then, Cecilia took out the wordless book covered with alchemical symbols and summoned Walter's projection.

After a brief retelling, Walter understood why Gillan came.

When the bookstore manager saw Jilan again, his attitude was obviously lowered. Not only did he take the initiative to salute, but his tone was also quite respectful:

"Mr. Gillan, on behalf of the bookstore, I welcome and honor your visit... You can browse the books in the library and choose from the collections."

"very good."

Gillan showed a satisfied look.

"I'm looking for the remnants of a real film called "Curtain Call". I wonder which big library it's stored in?"

"The fragments of "Curtain Call"?"

Walter was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

After a long while, the old man said uncertainly:

"It should be the Great Library No. 1, which has the most mystical artifacts..."

Gillan nodded and asked:

"So when can I go over there?"

"anytime!"

The old man with a messy white beard said hurriedly.

He turned to the bookstore owner and said:
"Cecilia, show me your Platinum Library Card."

"Yes, Mr. Walter."

Cecilia agreed, picked up Gillan's voucher, walked up to the administrator, and waved it in front of the old-fashioned kerosene lamp hanging on his wooden cane.

Soon, the kerosene lamp lit up.

A complicated alchemy array emerged with the flames.

"Please memorize this alchemy array, Mr. Gilan, and then head to the Russell Mountains north of the empire... Once there, this alchemy array will guide you until you find the entrance to the No. 1 Great Library."

Jilan frowned slightly and said calmly:

"That's too much trouble. Show me the scene at the Great Library No. 1 and I'll go there myself."

"Um?!"

Walter and Cecilia were both stunned.
