Chapter 73 Current Situation
‘There are still 15 points of mysterious energy. ’
Gilan thought.
‘Do you want to improve your proficiency with shotguns and revolvers? ’
After a while, he shook his head and gave up the idea.
Points are hard to come by, so it’s best to keep them in case you need them later for the content in “Secrets of the Iron”. At this stage, firearms proficiency is completely sufficient.
Compared to the physical training and meditation methods, the marksmanship has limitations and lacks potential. Spending too many points on it is not cost-effective in the long run.
Good steel should be used on the blade.
Immediately afterwards, Jilan took a mop from the bathroom and cleaned the blood, sweat and other dirt on the floor of the room. Then he took a shower and changed his clothes.
Just at this time, Old Jerry knocked on the door and informed him to come downstairs for dinner.
Not long after.
Jilan went to the restaurant on the first floor.
The storks, oystercatchers and seagulls were finally willing to leave the room and come down to have a meal... Of course, it was more likely that they were indeed hungry.
While having lunch, Mr. Stork was in high spirits. Apparently, the meditation method gave him hope.
He was eating fried meatballs and smiled and said to Gilan:
"Thanks to Mr. Snow Owl, we have the opportunity to get that precious meditation method from the movie "Moonlight Village"...the secret method of tempering gnosis. This is something I never dared to think about. In Therefore, I have to express my gratitude to you again."
"You're welcome." Gillan shook his head. "This is also the result of everyone's efforts and joint exploration...and I only provided a little help."
"You are really humble, Mr. Snow Owl."
Oyster Mr. Sandpiper said and laughed.
Even Miss Seagull on the side couldn't help but smile.
"With the Wooden Shackle Meditation Method, we members of the community have hope... The alchemist I met when I was traveling said that my talents were insufficient, which made me fall into depression for a long time."
< br>Mr. Stork was filled with emotion, and his eyes immediately showed longing.
“But it’s different now! With the meditation method and the lake in "Black Lake", sooner or later our gnosis will reach the lowest threshold of contact with mystery! In the future, we will all step into The mysterious realm, the mastery of mysterious power...have an extraordinary life!”
Hearing this, Mr. Oystercatcher and Miss Seagull both looked at each other with yearning expressions on their faces.
The members of the recording meeting have different identities and personalities, but they all come together because they are unwilling to be ordinary.
Now, they finally saw the glimmer of hope.
These were brought by the newly joined Mr. Snow Owl, and they couldn't help but cast grateful glances at Jilan.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the apartment.
Old Jerry walked forward tacitly, glanced through the peephole, and then opened the door with a smile.
Crack.
A pretty girl wearing a wide-brimmed hat and two golden braids slipped in. She put away her flower umbrella and raised her skirt to salute Old Jerry and everyone in the restaurant.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Miss Sparrow smiled and raised her hand in greeting.
The lively and cute appearance made everyone smile and respond politely.
Miss Sparrow's dress was wet from the rain, and the makeup on her face was a little stained, but this didn't seem to affect her good mood.
She handed the hat and umbrella to Old Jerry, then carried a bag of things and walked cheerfully to the restaurant.
"Little sparrow, why do you come to the apartment when it rains so heavily?"
Miss Seagull opened her red lips slightly and asked.
"Hehe, because I miss everyone!"
Miss Sparrow put the bag in her hand on the table and took out a few cups of beautifully packaged hot coffee.
As she spoke, she glanced at the blond young man present.
"This is a new product I bought from 'Mrs. Herzog's Cafe' when I passed by Horst Fourth Street. Let's try it."
"Huh? Why are all ours coffee, Mr. Snow Owl? But it’s milk tea?”
Mr. Oystercatcher’s sharp eyes discovered the clue.
Everyone looked around after hearing this, and sure enough, the coffee cup in Mr. Snow Owl's hand was filled with "Slimy Bark Milk Tea."
“I noticed last time that Mr. Snow Owl seems to like drinking this.”
Miss Sparrow smiled slightly. "Let me tell you, why did you come to the apartment even though it was raining so heavily? Why did you miss us... I think you came here specifically for Mr. Snow Owl."
Miss Seagull took a sip of coffee. , curled his lips and said.
I said silently in my heart, it’s so bitter and not tasty.
Ignoring the blush on Miss Sparrow's face, she added spoonful after spoonful of sugar to the coffee cup, making Mr. Oystercatcher's eyelids jump.
"Miss Seagull, that's enough, that's enough, it will be bad for your teeth."
Mr. Oystercatcher quickly advised.
Miss Seagull stared with beautiful eyes and shouted:
"Shut up! I just love sweet things!"
Mr. Oystercatcher immediately became obedient, coughed and stopped. Talk a lot.

After Miss Sparrow took her seat, everyone began to chat while eating.
Mr. Stork’s face became serious when he talked about the current situation:
"The serial murderer who was wreaking havoc in the slums was finally caught. The Mangrove Street Police Department and the Horst Search Team worked together to surround and kill the man last night."
As he said that, he took out the Hand the morning paper to everyone.
The incident is still making headlines, and there is even a blurry black and white photo attached. Seeing the prisoner's death, everyone present felt intense discomfort.
Jilan also glanced, but his pupils shrank.
He found that the man in the photo had a swollen face, a ferocious expression, and a bullet hole in his forehead... and this man looked very familiar.
After recollection, Gillan quickly recognized the other party.
It was the first strong man guard he killed beside the "Wealth Well" when he escaped from the Oak Gang's warehouse area!
‘Didn’t I kill him and throw him into the well? ! ’
Jilan was surprised.
The resurrection of the dead into a murderous maniac sounds quite terrifying.
"Sorry for showing this to everyone during the meal."
Mr. Stork apologized.
“But what I want to say is that because of this matter, the officials have blocked Haddonfield Street, Mangrove Street and Black Barrel Street. But in fact, it is still because of the plague, not only has this matter not been Instead, it began to spread to more neighborhoods... Now the entire slum area has basically become a place where the plague is raging, and everyone must be careful to take precautions."
Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this.
After all, in the face of such natural disasters, there are countless painful examples that tell them that it is difficult to contend with human power and they can only avoid it.
Gillan frowned.
The plague, the resurrected guards and the Oak Gang...
All of these were connected in his mind, which reminded him of "Black Lake".
‘There’s something wrong with that well! ’
Jilan had such a conjecture in his mind.
At this time, Mr. Stork sighed and took out a letter.
"In addition, the situation between the Empire and the Federation has become more tense."
He pointed at the opened envelope and said:
"This is a letter from a friend. What the North sent me was that 'Bosivian' trade tariffs were increased and the sale of all art goods in the Federation was banned. This caused dissatisfaction with the Federation, and an armed conflict broke out between the two sides on the banks of the 'Nuji River' in the eastern part of 'Bosivian'. ...The imperial army and the federal army had a small-scale friction and fought for several days."
Everyone knows that "Bosivia" is a special administrative region.
Because of its unique geographical location and historical legacy factors, it has become one of the most prosperous commercial cities on the mainland. And because of its convenient transportation, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has become a strategic battleground throughout the ages.
In the "First War of Shame", the Bremen Empire was defeated and ceded "Bosivia" to the Owena Federation as a colony.
But later, the head of state Caesar came to power, launched the "Second Battle of Glory", defeated the Federation, and took "Bosivia" back.
However, the far-reaching influence of federal colonization still remains in that territory.
At the same time, "Bosylvia" has become a symbol of some kind——
National hatred, shame, honor, self-confidence and even faith all surround the northern city, embodying the piety and hope of the people of the two countries.
"War, I'm afraid, is really coming."
Mr. Stork said solemnly.
Everyone looked solemn.
