Chapter 186 Thorns
It rained all night.
Early the next morning.
Jilan was awakened by a buzzing vibration.
He opened his eyes and sat up quickly.
Turning to look to the left, the "Alchemy Hotline" placed on the bedside table was vibrating, and several rounds of exquisite alchemy arrays inside emitted golden light.
He took this out from the dimensional space in advance last night, plugged in the mercury battery, and put it on the bedside table, just to avoid missing Sage White's call.
Now it seems that it was really prescient.
Jilan picked up the "hot line" and leaned it to her ear.
Suddenly, Sage Bai's magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone. However, the other party's tone was a little helpless:
"Mr. Gillan, why did you kill everyone?"
"No." Gillan's eyes were indifferent. "I only killed some of them and let the rest escape. Loben Fasol wanted to be tough, but out of self-preservation, I had no choice but to kill those who dared to attack."
"..."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
Jilan could even hear the sound of White Sage taking a deep breath.
"Okay. What about the bodies of the four 'black-collar deacons' of the July Baptist Church?" the other party asked in a deep voice.
July Baptist Church?
Black collar butler?
Jilan lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and figured everything out.
‘So it’s you, “Miss Rabbit” Jenna Claire...’
He sneered inwardly.
“I don’t know the specific reason.” Gilan told the truth. "I was intercepted and killed by them as soon as I left the manor. Out of self-protection, I had to kill them all and throw them into the villa."
But he added:
"But I guess it may be that I recently helped people to 'exorcise demons' and provoked the 'Golden Bough of Dawn', so they wanted to send someone to get rid of me."
"Exorcise demons?"
"That's it..."
Gilan thought for a while, explained a little, and told the story of the noble lady who was recently violated by a mysterious force.
"Yes." On the other end of the phone, Sage Bai pondered. "Yes, the situation you mentioned is very similar to the 'prayer ceremony' inside the 'Golden Bough of Dawn'."
"It seems that the July Baptist Church has indeed been infiltrated by the 'Golden Bough of Dawn' As for the 'Miss Rabbit', she is probably an important part of a plan. You must be careful to avoid their second revenge in the near future."
"Okay, I will pay attention. "Jilan said.
"So are you ready with the information and key evidence?"
The White Sage asked with a slightly gentler tone.
“Of course.” Gillan replied.
"Teleport the things through the alchemy array."
"Okay."
Gilan agreed, got up and got out of bed, and fastened the "hot line" to the wooden floor. Suddenly, with golden light, an alchemy array with a diameter of one meter emerged.
He immediately placed the guest list compiled last night, Viscount Loben Fasol's confidential letters, and Gray Scar in the center of the alchemy array.
Whoosh!
The thing disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Jilan mentioned the "hotline" and waited for a long time. Sage Bai's satisfied voice came from the other end:
"Well done, Mr. Gillan. Although your assessment method this time was too rough, the results were good, and you also fulfilled my requirements."
"Congratulations, Blood Owl, from now on you will He is a member of the 'Midnight Rose' and the 'Thorns'. The identity token will be sent to you immediately, please check it carefully."
Jilan waited quietly.
Not long after.
In the alchemy array on the ground, a beautiful ring suddenly appeared.
He picked it up and examined it in the palm of his hand.
This is a gold ring with a spherical polyhedral ruby inlaid in the center. The gem contains green thorn-like patterns inside.
The inner circle of the ring is engraved with the motto once spoken by the White Sage: "Where thorns grow, roses bloom. The door of truth is opened and completed by wisdom."
The outer ring is:
"Thorns No. 001, 'Blood Owl' Gilan Iros."
Gilan took a deep breath and put the ring on the index finger of her right hand, with Weiwei's sapphire ring on her middle finger. Complement each other.
He mentioned the "hotline" and put it to his ear again.
"The ring of thorns has been received, thank you."
"You're welcome, you earned the membership qualification through your own ability."
The White Sage chuckled.
"From now on, you will be one of us, Blood Owl. On behalf of 'Midnight Rose', I welcome you. Let's work together on the road to explore the truth in the future."
"Yeah." Jilan responded.
The White Sage paused for a moment and then said:
"Actually, what you did during this assessment has a considerable impact on an imperial viscount and many prestigious people. They are all dead. Although they are members of the "Heavenly Evil Cult", it is not appropriate to reveal the truth, so it will inevitably cause a stir."
"In addition, because you openly stated your identity as a 'senior prohibition agent', your name has been spread among the Prohibition Bureau, and even the Balance Department and Purification Department..."
"But don't worry. , we will help you settle this matter and protect you from investigation, but the suspicion of the authorities and various forces will not be reduced, so you have to be careful."
"Okay, thank you. "
Jilan said calmly.
Before, he might have had some concerns.
But now it is much more bearish.
Because he is no longer weak.
With strong fists, you are naturally not afraid.
"Mr. White Sage, I want to buy those mysterious materials mentioned before."
The first thing Jilan did when he joined the club was to make a transaction request.
This is what he needs.
“Of course, no problem.” Sage Bai smiled on the other end of the phone. "You are one of our own now, and you are qualified to purchase those mysterious materials."
"Sulfur gas, cherry blossom, vortex slough and black jade stone, these four, right?"
"Yes."
"Material transactions in the mysterious realm, regardless of type, are uniformly based on 5 ink units."
The White Sage seemed to know that Ji Lan was a "newbie" who was new to the mystery, so he explained patiently.
"Sulfur gas, one portion costs 400 gold Caesar; Yingshan, one portion costs 650 gold Caesar; Whirlpool, one portion costs 580 gold Caesar; Black Jadeite, one portion costs 490 gold Caesar."
"A total of 2120 gold Caesars, is this a one-time payment? Or do you plan to purchase only a few of them for the time being?"
"Hmm..." Jilan thought for a moment. "Pay it all in one lump sum. In addition, I wonder if Mr. White Sage can give me some alchemy utensils and tools?"
"Haha." White Sage chuckled. "No."
"Don't forget what I told you, all alchemists should abide by the principle of 'equivalent exchange'. If you want to get it, you have to pay."
Jilan secretly said something stingy.
But he still said:
"Okay, if we add those, how much do we need to make up?"
"Just add 5 more Caesars."
< br>
"Got it."
Gilan counted out the 2125 Caesar banknotes from his wallet, sorted them into a pile, and placed them in the alchemy array.
Wait until the money disappears.
Soon, four more thin-necked and fat-bellied bottles appeared in their place, containing various mysterious materials. In addition, there are a bunch of small alchemical items such as grinders, glass dishes, tubes, bottles, pots, copper rods and other small items.
Jilan looked happy.
Finally got it!
