Chapter 167 Black Guts
"'Blood Owl' Gilan Iros..."
"Okay." said the White Sage on the other end of the phone. "Put 2 pfennigs into the alchemy array as a cost of production."
Gilan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In his impression, the big guys like White Sage and even those in "Midnight Rose" are probably not short of money, not to mention these two silver coins?
As if knowing that Gillan would think so, another voice came from the phone:
“Equivalent exchange, young man, this is the truth that every alchemist will abide by.”
"Okay, I get it."
Gilan said, and he took out another 2 pfennig note and put it in the alchemy array.
With a swish, the banknote disappeared.
"Wait a moment." White Sage said again.
After a while.
In the center of the golden alchemy array on the wooden floor, an object suddenly appeared.
Jilan took a closer look.
It was a palm-sized palm-top brown pickup truck.
He secretly sighed that the other party's efficiency in doing things was really fast.
Bend down to pick it up, lower your head and look at it carefully.
He discovered that in the center of the carbon fiber was a circular metal badge, which was the "X" logo symbolizing the Bremen Empire, with a black background and white stripes.
Open the brown card book, there is a place for the photo in the middle, and the bottom is marked in more formal boldface:
"Name: Guilan Ilos."
"Position: Senior Prohibition Agent."
"Affiliation: Balance Division-Prohibition Bureau."
Senior Prohibition Agent?
Jilan raised his eyebrows.
At the beginning of Lenovo's time travel, he was arrested in the police station and sentenced to death as a gangster bootlegger.
Now he has transformed into a prohibition agent...
Still a high-level one.
I have to say that life is always full of surprises.
Jilan played with the card book, looked at the fine anti-counterfeiting lines on it, and secretly sighed at the other party's superb skills in forging documents.
As for the "balance department", he was a little unfamiliar with it and couldn't help but ask questions into the microphone.
The White Sage explained the confusion:
“This department and the ‘Purification Department’ are both special departments of the empire. The functions of the two are similar. They are both responsible for executing some high-level laws and even handling difficult incidents related to mysteries. "
"The difference is that they belong to different superiors and have completely different attitudes."
"The 'Balance Department' is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department of the Imperial Administrative Center 'Sifang Palace'. The 'Purification Department' is affiliated with the Imperial Propaganda Department. "
"The former has a more moderate attitude, which is worse, it is loose, and the latter is more radical and even violent. Therefore, the latter appears far more often in the empire. So much so that people in the Empire have generally never heard of the 'Balance Department'."
"This involves the internal power of the empire, the struggle between the 'Crow Faction' and the 'Hawk Faction', so I won't go into details with you... You just need to know that the subordinate department does exist on the identity certificate given to you."
After White Sage’s patient answers, Ji Lan had a general understanding.
He played with the card, still a little worried.
"Although it is realistic, it is a forgery after all. If someone is checking it out, wouldn't it be easy to reveal the secret? Presumably such positions, departments, and internal personnel information in the empire must be clearly registered..."
“Who told you it was a forgery.”
Sage Bai's slightly helpless voice came from the other end of the phone.
“This identity certificate has been registered. Even if someone checks it, they can still find the person ‘Guilan Iros’ in the internal files.”
“It is legal, feel free to use it Right.”
“?”
Jilan squeezed Kaben’s hand.
Not fake, but real?
Who is the White Sage? How could he obtain a legal ID card of a "senior prohibition agent" in such a short period of time.
"Okay, young man, I look forward to your performance."
The last word came from the other end of the microphone, and with a soft click, there was a long silence.
Jilan knew that the other party had hung up the "alchemy hotline".
I looked down and saw that the mercury battery connected to the red wire of the microphone was completely exhausted at this moment.
The golden alchemy array inside the metal microphone and even on the wooden floor dimmed and finally disappeared.
Jilan took a deep breath.
He silently put away the alchemy hotline, four mercury batteries and the agent's ID card.
Then he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Finally I bought a mercury battery..."
He said, and a big stone fell in his heart.
With mercury batteries, real film can be viewed. Even calls on the alchemy hotline also require the power supply of this restricted energy source.
This time I bought four at once, so there will be no shortage in a short time. "As for the main occult materials required for the 'wick potion', they have finally been found."
Gilan let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
If you want to climb the original level 2 as quickly as possible, you cannot do without the assistance of magic potions.
Now we finally see a clear goal.
That is to complete the White Sage's assessment and become a member of "Midnight Rose".
Jilan glanced at the wall calendar.
Dawn 1926, Wednesday, July 28.
‘There is almost a week left until August 5th. ’
He thought to himself.
‘Young Wand Master Competition? ’
Jilan raised his hand, and the ancient sheepskin scroll suddenly appeared in his palm.
The first chapter of "Gerald's Bloodletting Sword", "Stopping the Fight".
The rise of the cane technique is due to the arrival of the civilized era, which forced the use of canes to replace medieval swords.
It can be said that swordsmanship is the origin of cane art and its ancestor.
Although Gilan has never learned the cane technique, as long as he masters the secret sword technique pioneered by the leader of the "Healing Knights", even if he uses a cane as a sword, he can still exert terrifying power. Effect.
It can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.
'But before that, let's try to upgrade the "White Cross Body Training Technique" to the final stage. ’
Jilan secretly thought.
He has obtained the "Secret Skill" twice in a row.
Don’t be afraid even if the “secret skill” comes up again this time, because you have enough secret points!
Trying to recall the content of the physical training technique, the colorful number "275" in the corner of my vision flickered slightly.
But this time, there was no sudden sudden drop.
‘It seems that the only secret skills that can be learned in the third stage of “blood” are “blood bathing” and “skull melting”. ’
Jilan understood.
‘Then, it’s finally time to advance to the “black bile” stage! ’
Full of expectations, he took out Espy’s secret notes from the dimensional space, turned to the end, and read carefully the content about the final stage of “black bile”.
Not long after.
Gilan closed the note, walked to the open space next to the bed, and made a series of difficult and weird postures that violated the human body structure, while controlling his breathing rate.
The fourth stage of practice is particularly difficult.
One of the movements requires Gillan to stand on one finger and hold the other hand 90 degrees perpendicular to the body. Then straighten your left leg, bend your right foot, and fold it into a cross shape.
With his current physical fitness, this is not a difficult task.
But the difficulty lies in the respiratory rate.
While maintaining this handstand, he also needs to breathe at a frequency of one fast and four slow, and continue to increase the number of inhalations.
Exhale briefly once and inhale slowly twelve times.
The cycle repeats itself, and the cycle continues.
After doing this for nearly half an hour.
Ji Lan's face turned purple, and the veins on her forehead were exposed.
He felt his lungs filling with air, but he could only hold it forcibly and not let it out.
The vision is black and the stars are twinkling.
Some mysterious force began to work through his specific posture and breathing rate. Ji Lan suddenly heard the sound of waves in the darkness.
There is another sound like a bird flapping its wings in the air.
Suddenly, he understood something.
The part improved by this exercise is his brain!
Boom!
A roar that only he could hear suddenly sounded in his mind.
Gilan's body, which was still upside down, fell to the ground with a thud.
He still lost his vision at this time, and everything he could see was pitch black.
At the same time, the waves leaping, bird feathers fluttering, and rumbling sounds intertwined in my mind, and the sounds became louder and louder.
And he gradually found that his body began to become numb and stiff.
From the tips of the fingers, to the palms and soles, and then to the limbs, it spreads towards the trunk and head.
Jilan's thoughts were confused by the effect of this physical exercise, and he began to become hazy, and it took a long time for his thoughts to flash through his mind.
He knew that if he continued like this, his body would eventually be completely paralyzed due to the lack of assistance from the secret medicine. Even the brain will fall into endless silence.
Equivalent to a vegetative state.
‘Beautiful! ’
He took advantage of another thought and immediately drank violently in his heart.
