Chapter 303 Consultation
"'The Rod of Laughter'...?"
On the other end of the alchemy hotline, the old man who made the rod murmured the name, but his tone was quite doubtful.
Jilan chuckled and explained briefly.
The reason why he named his new cane "Laughing Thrush" comes from a bird called "Laughing Thrush".
The Laughing Thrush is camouflaged and deceptive. It is noisy and ferocious, but it is not good at flying. Coupled with its white head and brown body, it looks like a double form.
At the same time, the laughing thrush has another name, the noisy babbler.
This can well describe the essence of "a sword hidden in a staff".
Of course, there is another layer of meaning that was not told to the old man who made the staff, that is, it can also symbolize Jilan himself.
This is like the dual identities of "Blood Owl" and "Rainbow Owl", "Gilan" and "Iros".
"Interesting name."
The old man who made the staff smiled and praised.
“As its forger, I am happy for it.”
Ka Cang.
Jilan deformed the weapon in his hand and returned it to the form of a gray cane, holding it at his side.
Immediately afterwards, he respectfully asked the hotline:
"By the way, old gentleman, I want to ask you a question..."
"Tell me, young man."
The old man making the stick is still so enthusiastic and is willing to answer all kinds of questions from the younger generation.
Jilan spoke for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"I am now a third-level 'Glow' spiritual mystic, and I am trying to sail to the Dream Sea to find traces of the land of gods, 'Toyalan'..."
"But in recent times, all I was attacked by a sea monster halfway. Even if I tried to fly over, I would still encounter flying monsters at high altitude..."
"Excuse me, is there any solution to this situation?"< br>
Hearing this, the old man who made the staff was silent for a few seconds.
"Something incredible..." he said.
"The appearance of those monsters is abnormal?"
Gilan couldn't help frowning and asked.
However, the old man denied it:
"No...I mean, your progress is incredibly fast."
Just listen to the voice on the other end of the phone. Come and make the old man's sigh.
"Do you know? It took me a full nine years of sailing before I encountered a situation like yours. It took me another five years to find the Land of Gods and obtain the 'Brand of Gods'."
"Blood Owl, your talent is too high, and your luck is not very good...it seems that even fate is favoring you."
"It really makes me feel a little emotional...even envious. "
"Huh?" Ji Lan was startled.
He was actually very aware of the difficulty from level 3 to level 4, but he did not expect that even a long-time master like the old staff maker would have spent nearly fourteen years to complete the leap and qualitative change.
Listening to the other party's story, Gillan couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was lucky enough to intervene in the "Withering Garden", meet the third lady of the apostles, and get the precious "Emotional Anchor Method" from Miss Payton.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to spend several years, more than ten years or even longer at this stage in vain before I can find the land of gods...
"You have also encountered sea monsters. ? Is this inevitable? "
Jilan calmed down and asked again.
The old man who made the stick pondered for a moment and said:
"It's not inevitable...but that in the surrounding areas of the God's Hometown 'Toyalan', there are malicious dream creatures."
"According to legend, there are two theories."
“First, those dream creatures were created by the negative emotions of high-level mystics. They fell into the dream sea like projections and were attracted by the land of gods.”
“Second, they It wanders out from the 'lower' area of the Land of Gods, wandering around, trying to kill all the dream visitors who come here by mistake."
"But no matter which version is used, it explains one thing in disguise. The fact is that you have entered the surrounding area of the Land of Gods... Congratulations, Blood Owl, you are not far from 'Toyalan'."
The old man who made the staff spoke in a gentle tone, half telling and half congratulating.
"As for the solution, I'm sorry, but there is none at the moment. If you want to break through with brute force, you need to have at least level 4 or above of strength, but the paradox of this matter is that there are only level 3 spiritual secrets Only those who want to set sail to find the land of God..."
"So, everything depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can escape the dream creatures in that area and get ashore smoothly."
Hearing this, Jilan's heart sank.
Purely luck?
But he quickly came up with an idea...
Although he does not have the strength of level 4, he is still stronger than the average level 3. Now he has obtained the "Stand of Laughter" and goes all out. , maybe there is a chance to break through.
“Thank you for your answer.”
Jilan took a deep breath and held up the hotline to say thanks.
“You’re welcome, haha.” The old man smiled. "I always have a hunch that maybe in the near future, you will leave the 'Thorns' and join the 'Midnight Rose' as a formal member."
"I'll treat you to a drink then, young man."
Jilan heard the old man's optimism, so he said a few words of humility.
Immediately, I hung up the phone.
After putting away the alchemy hotline, Jilan played with the "Stand of Laughter" for a while, and then he was satisfied with it and put it into the dimensional space.
‘My expenses have been a bit high these days, including the purchase of the ‘Makeup Artist’ secret book, the traveling expenses for the stork, and the cost of making the staff this time...’
Gilan thought to himself, and counted his funds, only 2585 Caesar was left. He couldn't even remember the first time he sighed...
The money is really not enough!
'After a while, I will continue to acquire mysterious materials and make some money by refining medicines. I am somewhat unable to make ends meet... Well, I will find another opportunity to inform the secret society about the "wick potion" during the gathering in the dream. member. ’
At this stage, Baiou Chiqiao and the others are only at level 1 and level 2. Taking the "wick potion" can greatly improve the efficiency of practice.
Of course, it is impossible for Gillan to provide potions for free.
Not to mention that he does not have the capital, even if he does, he hopes to follow the principle of "equivalent exchange" and allow the members of the secret society to exchange for the cultivation resources in their hands through their own efforts.
But Gillan will give them an "internal price".
The "Wick Potion" in "Midnight Rose" sells for 130 Caesars, so in the dream gathering, it only sells for 110 Caesars.
Slightly higher than the cost is enough.
…
…
Two days have passed.
During this period, Mavevi paid a visit.
Jilan invited her to have afternoon tea at a nearby restaurant and chatted for about two hours.
Maiev took advantage of the situation and talked about some confidential information, saying that the situation in Bosvia had made progress. The committee investigated the important reasons for the local infiltration and the rebellion of the regime and the military.
Gilan was very interested in this, but it was different from what he thought... The culprit was not a federal spy, nor was it the two mysterious forces of the Cult of Heaven and the White Dove Tower.
It is an ancient secret sect called the "Eclipse Society".
This is the first time Ji Lan has heard of this secret sect.
According to Maiev, the "Solar Eclipse Society" is extremely hidden. The Investigative Committee also spent a lot of money, even sacrificing several members, to discover this important information.
The esoteric sect first appeared in the early Middle Ages and was active throughout the ages. It was not until the establishment of the Bremen Empire that it slowly disappeared...
Recently, for unknown reasons, it suddenly resurfaced in Bosvia. And as soon as he appeared, he made a big move.
I heard that Chairman Parra is quite troubled by this.
"The members of the 'Eclipse Society' are all die-hards of evil worship. They serve an ancient evil god named 'Sulfur Lord'. They regard the devil as their partner and are influenced by the evil god's messenger 'Windmill Cat'. 'Leadership of Pal Solomon."
This was Maiev's original words at the time.
"The purpose of this secret sect is to cause disaster at all costs, let the sulfur smell of hell replace the air of the world, and welcome the arrival of the 'Sulfur Lord' to rule the world."
After hearing this, Jilan was stunned for a moment.
First of all, he felt that this person from the "Solar Eclipse Society" seemed to be mentally ill, so how could he have such an outrageous belief.
Secondly, he was surprised by the two familiar names "Sulfur Male" and "Windmill Cat".
The "Windmill Cat" has appeared in "The Great Plague #2" and the "Human Will" series of films. Through these two secret histories, Gillan clearly knows that it has lived from the Middle Ages to the Now...
Moreover, as the messenger of the evil god, he spread the plague and also devoured Lilia Enge, the biological sister of "Torrent" in January.
It can be said that this big golden cat has done all kinds of bad things.
Presumably "Torrent" has always wanted to realize it offline.
So much so that within the "Machinists' Union", they have never stopped exploring Parr's traces.
This time the "Eclipse Society" was discovered by the committee, the "Machinery Union" must have been mobilized and ready to dispatch executive agencies at any time to assist the empire in hunting down and cleaning up the secret sect.
Maiev once mentioned that there are three old guys in the "Mechanicus". Together, they can conduct large-scale surveillance. The members of the "Eclipse Society" may be doomed!
…
…
The evening of November 27th.
Jilan fell into a dream as usual and came to the spiritual kingdom.
He took this opportunity to inform everyone in the secret society about the "wick potion", which aroused their interest.
It also aroused their strong motivation to make money.
As the thumb of the "Hand of Dawn", Gillan very generously presented a "wick potion" to everyone on the spot. Letting them try the medicine is also considered as a secret society benefit.
The black snipe, white gull, red bird and blue stork were all surprised and thanked them repeatedly.
In the subsequent information exchange session, Cang Stork said that he had successfully contacted the "Recording Meeting" headquarters. With his original silver card as the branch host and Ms. Crow's token, he could easily Membership.
And because of his rich movie-watching experience and the strength of a second-level mystic, he successively passed the "Screening Roundtable" review and directly became a "Two-Star Film Critic".
Everything goes well.
"Hongxiao, there is good news."
Cang Stork sat on the seat of the index finger stone pillar and smiled at Jilan.
“As soon as I joined the Recording Society’s ‘Headquarters’, I was assigned the task of viewing a newly-introduced real film... Are you interested?”
Hearing this, Jilan raised his brows and said:
"Of course!"
He is in urgent need of mysterious energy now, but he didn't expect that Cang Stork would have good news so soon...
"Tell me about the actual film."
"Well...it's the first in a series called Dark Times #1."
< br>
The stork smiled.
"What a coincidence, we have all seen its sequel..."The Great Plague #2"!"
