From Prisoner to Si Chen..
Chapter 551 Chef
Chapter 551 Chef
Walter, with a shaggy white beard and a serious face, led the way in front with a cane, while the young attendant followed behind with a nervous look on his face.
Gillan pulled his hat brim down and put his hands in his pockets.
A lazy and casual attitude.
More than half of the readers in the library hall quietly put down their books and, driven by curiosity, followed the three people and left one after another, as if they wanted to watch the fun.
Before walking out of the library hall, Gillan suddenly noticed something and turned his eyes to the corner.
A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. After retracting his gaze, he walked forward as if nothing had happened, but the corners of his mouth curled up inexplicably...
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Ji Lan secretly thought.
In the corner of the hall, there was a tall and thin man in a suit and tie, concentrating on reading an ancient book in his hands.
He had a small moustache and his expression was full of ecstasy.
"Found it, found it..."
The man murmured in excitement.
The ancient book in his hand recorded the secret of ascension. It described in detail the story of an ascensionist in the Middle Ages, how he prepared in advance, how he passed the test of the ascension gate in his dream, and how he was finally promoted, left the mortal world forever, and lived in the land of the gods.
"It's worth it that I went through so much trouble to finally find another 'Platinum Borrowing Card'. As the rumors say, the bookstore's large library contains the secret of ascension..."
Shi Luo Simon slowly closed the ancient book and thought.
At this moment, he noticed the movement in the hall and couldn't help but frown slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't know why these people left together.
Soon, Shi Luo's gaze followed the crowd to look forward, and his expression changed drastically.
Because he saw the person he least wanted to see!
"Red Sage" Gilan Iros!
At the beginning, he ordered the members of the "Traveler Circus" to hunt down two lone mysterious people, all the way from the Owena Federation to the Bremen Empire, trying to snatch the "Platinum Library Card" from the other party, but unexpectedly caused a big trouble within the empire.
This happened at a time when the "Red Sage" had just succeeded his teacher as the chairman of the committee, so he made an example of the "Traveler Circus" team and personally killed them.
During this process, the two sides also fought each other in the air, and as a result, Schro suffered a great loss.
The two became enemies because of this.
Later, the name of "Red Sage" became more and more famous.
First, he attacked Jacobin, the capital of the Federation, and turned the place upside down, killing all the superiors. Later, it was said that he had completed his ascension and escaped the encirclement of the Federation, becoming the most famous person at that time.
After learning the news, Shi Luo was already scared to death. He didn't want to meet this ruthless man again, for fear that he would cause trouble for him.
But unexpectedly, I would meet him here!
Shi Luo immediately decided to retreat and planned to slip away before the "Red Sage" discovered him.
But soon, his whole body stiffened and his back felt cold.
Because Shi Luo noticed that the young man with purple eyes shifted his gaze without warning, gave him a look with a smile, and then walked away.
"Damn it! The Red Sage has discovered me!"
Shi Luo suddenly felt terrible.
He was sweating profusely and stood there as if struck by lightning, not daring to make any rash moves.
"How to do how to do?!"
"Should I leave? No... No, the look in his eyes just now was clearly warning me that I can't escape."
In an instant, Shi Luo's heart went through several rounds of struggle. Finally, he gritted his teeth, put the ancient book in his arms, and followed.
Since the "Red Sage" has discovered him, he has no way of running away. He can only follow him and find a chance to apologize to him and beg for forgiveness.
And this is the only way for him to survive!
...
...
Walter and the attendant led Gillan, and after leaving the library, they arrived at the outskirts of the isolated island.
The surrounding vegetation is lush.
It is autumn now and the forest is full of colors.
A stone path extends from the entrance of the library and forks in front, leading to several directions.
Gillan saw a wooden trestle bridge in front of him, and beyond it was a lonely lighthouse. The path on the left led to a wheat field, and on the right it went around the library and to the back.
At this time, Walter was taking him along the path on the right.
A group of "strangely dressed" men and women followed the three people from a distance. Although Gillan and Walter had already noticed it, they didn't say much.
Not long after.
Gillan followed Walter along the stone path through the woods, bypassed the huge library, and came to a quiet manor area.
Rows of old red brick apartments are located on lush lawns and surrounded by wrought iron fences.
Along the way, Walt explained to Gillan.
This manor area was specially prepared for the guests who came to visit. Because the library had a vast collection of books, it would take a long time to read even one percent of the books.
Moreover, the Great Library is located behind the sparsely populated Russell Mountains, on an isolated island in the far north of the continent, and it is often extremely difficult to visit it.
Therefore, most guests stay for a long time.
They also jokingly call themselves "library hermits".
The guest that Gillan was looking for, named Angus, was just such a "hermit".
crunch--
Walter opened the gate of the manor and walked in with Gillan. After crossing the lawn, Walter stopped in front of the third red brick apartment building from the bottom on the right.
"This is where Mr. Angus lives."
The old man raised his hand and whispered.
As he said that, he went up and knocked on the metal door of the apartment, making a clanging sound.
But after waiting for a while, there was no response.
Gillan frowned.
Because he smelled a strange odor coming from the yard of the apartment... like the smell of rotten fat mixed with offal being blanched in a pot, or the pungent smell of burnt hair.
Walter and the servants around him both smelled the odor. The former was fine, but the young servant looked embarrassed and almost nauseous.
"Mr. Angus, are you in the apartment? I'm the administrator Walter, I have something to ask..."
Walter coughed and called out loudly.
But before he could finish his words, the door opened with a clang, and a deep, impatient, rough voice came from inside:
"What the hell?! I'm in the middle of a serious artistic endeavor and can't stand being interrupted!"
Jilan narrowed his eyes.
He saw a 2-meter-tall strong man standing in the open iron gate... The strong man had a round belly, a face full of fat, and his whole face was swollen and deformed, looking extremely ugly and hideous.
Although the man was wearing a shirt and trousers, they looked like they had not been washed for a long time. They were covered with oil, sweat and blood, and they smelled bad.
Jilan quietly opened his spiritual vision and confirmed at a glance that this person was a 6th-level Jiushi.
At the same time, he always felt that this guy looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, so he activated the ability of "guidance prompts".
"Angus Carriel."
"Male, 68 years old."
"Level 6, a Kyushu, the original essence of a 'perfect person'."
"The owner of the 'Apostle's Mark' (Apostle Candidate)."
"…He was once a chef at a restaurant in Pier City. During the Red Moon Incident, he was burned by the moonlight and turned into a pig-headed monster. He slaughtered an entire street of people and cooked them into broth to devour them."
"The red moonlight contained a trace of power and knowledge from the fourth division of the old gods. Angus found a blessing in disguise, regained some of his rationality, and embarked on the path of mysticism."
Ji Lan was quite surprised.
He didn't expect that the smelly burly man in front of him was actually the "Pig-Headed Chef" monster in the movie "Old Pier" he had seen!
When he was watching the movie, he saw through the Easter egg that among the twelve passengers, the fat businessman was killed by this guy, and was slaughtered and made into a pot of soup.
However, Jilan was too weak at the time and did not dare to provoke the other party.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Angus."
At this time, the old administrator Walter bowed and said.
"It's just because you borrowed a fragment of the real film "Curtain Call" last time, and it's been half a month overdue, so I came to ask for it."
"You come to disturb my artistic creation just for such a small matter?!"
Angus had an ugly look on his face and a cruel look in his eyes.
"Do you know how long I have been preparing for this creation? How important it is to me? The great gods have been watching me, hoping that I can create more masterpieces..."
"Perhaps it was because of your interruption that I lost a chance to ascend! You damn idiot!"
The sturdy man shouted angrily, and his saliva sprayed all over Walter's face.
Being yelled at and insulted in person, Walter felt a little embarrassed and his eyes twitched.
Fortunately, he was well-mannered. He just wiped the saliva off his face silently, and then said in a deep voice:
"I'm really sorry, sir, but your overdue payment involves the bookstore's rules. Please return the borrowed items."
"What if I don't return it?"
Angus grinned, showing his jagged yellow teeth.
"It's just a piece of film remnant. According to the principle of 'equivalent exchange', I will compensate you with a feast. If it wasn't related to Er Yue Si Chen's 'director', I wouldn't even want to take a look at it..."
“And my cooking is more artistic than movies!”
"Feast?"
Walter's gaze passed Angus and fell on the yard.
There was a large iron pot with a thick black and green soup boiling inside, with strange bubbles coming out. One could also vaguely see the bones, flesh and skin of some small animals and even the long hair of a human woman.
The stench came from the pot.
Walter was secretly furious. The so-called "feast" from the other party was not worth anything at all. Instead, it was more like an insult to the bookstore.
Gilan, who was standing at the back, also noticed the iron pot.
He looked at the burly man expressionlessly.
"This guy's mental state is even worse than before I sealed the 'Mad King'. It's probably because he was eroded by the 'Moon Goddess'. The sequelae are too severe..."
Gillan thought.
"Besides, can cooking people as food be called art? Madam Ya's vision is still as bad as ever."
He took a step forward and motioned for Walter to step back.
The old administrator was just a Level 5 Jiushi, and faced with Angus' lack of confidence, Gilan planned to step in personally.
