Chapter 313 Shenxiang
Gilan separated from Maiev and others at the entrance of the Triumph Building. Each of them had different tasks.
Take Maiev for example. Her mission is to escort a batch of "miasma-repelling medicine" to the military area. She will use transport aircraft to spray the medicine at high altitudes in the capital, using this physical method to reduce the concentration of miasma in the area.
Although the investment is large and the time effect is not long, it can be regarded as an emergency measure.
It is said that Kaya, who was traveling with him, was responsible for transporting another "miasma-repelling explosive" developed by Chairman Pala. By launching it into the air and detonating it, it can also play a certain role in dispelling miasma in a large area.
Several people knew the seriousness of the matter, and without too much chatting, they set off separately to carry out the emergency mission.
The day passes quickly.
Until about eleven o'clock in the evening, the night was dark.
Gilan then drove back to the rental apartment downstairs on Price Street in North Muse.
After he turned off the engine, he sat in the car for a while. Looking at the dark and silent streets, he sighed secretly.
'The situation is not optimistic...'
Jilan secretly thought.
With the big boss Pala Celsus in the capital, I believe that the concentration of the miasma can be controlled soon and the local order can be maintained.
But the entire Bremen Empire is vast, with more than a dozen states, hundreds of districts, and thousands of towns...
These areas want to be like the capital city of Muscati Generally speaking, it is very difficult to control the miasma so quickly and protect the civilians from harm.
It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, or even before long, the order of the entire empire will fall into chaos.
The most likely situation that Jilan can think of is that the army uniformly takes the "anti-miasma medicine" to violently suppress the chaos in various places.
After that, a large amount of human, financial and material resources will be invested to transport "anti-miasma medicine" to all parts of the country and distributed to the people for free or at low prices, so that this miasma disaster can be effectively resisted...
However, this is only an ideal situation.
There are many unpredictable factors.
For example, hostile forces are very likely to take the opportunity to intervene, further expanding the level of chaos and disrupting the order of the empire.
There are many mysterious forces and lone mystics lurking in the dark, and there is a high probability that they will take advantage of the chaos and increase the variables.
It is conceivable that this will increase the pressure on the empire...
Furthermore, it is currently in a tense stage where the three overlords are confronting each other and causing constant friction. The northern colony of Bosiva has been infiltrated, and the eastern border is still at war with the Owena Federation.
The outbreak of the "miasma disaster" directly aggravated these situations, making the empire worse.
Gilan rested his elbows on the car window, looking at the deserted street scene, with only the dim light of the streetlights decorating the darkness.
The barking dogs and meowing cats of the past have disappeared.
Because they were also infected by a high concentration of miasma, they became extremely irritable and irritable. In order to prevent stray cats and dogs from attacking humans, the local police station recruited a group of dog catchers and cat catchers to quickly clean up the animals.
Gilan remembered what Chairman Parra said to him alone when he returned to the Triumph Building after completing the escort mission...
The Chairman said that for the sudden miasma When the incident broke out, he had asked Caesar for instructions.
The head of state only said a few words about this:
"The operation of all things in the world is maintained by the law of twelve seconds. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, natural and man-made disasters have also been caused by this...'Noon Before the birth of Dawn, there was no such thing as "miasma" in the world."
Hearing this at that time, Gilan was very confused and asked Chairman Parra in person:
"The head of state. What does it mean...Does it mean that the so-called 'miasma' was brought by Omer?"
But Para Celsus just shook his head.
"No. To be precise, the miasma only appeared at the same time as Omer, but this does not mean that it was caused by him."
"On the contrary, perhaps it is precisely because the world is filled with miasma, Only then will the 'Noon Dawn' be born, thus illuminating the whole world."
"In the several secret histories I have, I found a common saying...Omer, He is the one who fulfills the wish. "
"As for how it was born and whose wish it was, no one knows..."
…
…
Jilan got off the car and went upstairs, washed briefly, then lay on the bed and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
He controlled himself to have a lucid dream.
As his consciousness continued to sink, he soon came to his own spiritual kingdom.
Under the dark night, Gilan walked through the winding stone road and stepped directly into the open-air stone palace.
Five spiral stone pillars stand in front of the Cross Sword bonfire. Above the stone pillar, five figures were already sitting on their seats.
“Hongxiao.”
The four people from the secret society in the dream greeted him one after another.
Jilan nodded in response.
At the same time, he also noticed that the expressions of the four people were a little solemn.
"Everyone should be aware of the intensification of the miasma, right?"
Jilan jumped up, landed in front of the throne at the top of the "Thumb" stone pillar, and turned to everyone.
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
“I went south with the steward of the monastery and arrived at Bindu Town. Not long after I arrived here, the miasma broke out... Many townspeople suffered from serious diseases and were waiting to die at home.”< br>
Red Bird Aurora said worriedly.
"The first thing I did when I joined the Holy Sisters was to assist the other Holy Sisters in distributing 'Holy Healing Water', but the quantity of Holy Water was limited... In less than a day, more than 20 elderly people had died. and children.”
“Their spirituality is too weak to withstand the infection of the miasma, alas.”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions darkened.
Immediately afterwards, the white gull, black snipe and blue stork also shared the situation in their area.
As Jilan expected, it is not optimistic.
We are now in the early stages of the miasma's intensification, with large-scale deaths, illnesses, and madness inevitably occurring, making it difficult to maintain order in various places.
According to Black Sandpiper, he was trekking on foot with the other reserve members of the "Ascetic Sect" who were participating in the assessment, and witnessed several riots along the way.
It’s very confusing anyway.
“I received a mission from the ‘White Dove Tower’. They asked me to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Longken City Council, eliminate dissidents, and use the various problems caused by the miasma to win over people’s hearts...”
The white gull sat on the stone seat and spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Cang Stork suggested:
"Well... we can take this opportunity to clean up the scum of your local council. Not only has the task of the 'White Pigeon Tower' been completed, it can also be regarded as something good. A good thing."
"And, to a certain extent, it will also be beneficial to your future."
"The Cang Stork makes sense. .”
Jilan nodded.
"If handled properly, this is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone... If you can climb higher in the imperial officialdom and have greater power, the 'White Dove Tower' will not only value you more, but we can also use you more Power."
"Yes, I understand."
Bai Ou thought for a while and nodded.
After chatting for a while, Gilan announced that the meeting was adjourned.
After the members of the "Hand of Dawn" left, he walked out of the open-air stone palace alone and came to the shore of the Island of the Soul.
Gillan summoned his "spiritual boat", jumped on board, and chose to set sail without wasting any time.
In reality, due to unknown reasons, the concentration of miasma has intensified. It comes at a troubled time, and it is a scene of approaching storm.
Jilan always has a bad feeling. Therefore, he has become more eager to improve his strength... If the wheel of the times is destined to run into the quagmire of chaos and danger, then only with strong strength can he not be easily coerced and involved.
He never thought that he was a saint and had neither the ability nor the idea to redeem others. Just protect yourself and, if conditions permit, lend a helping hand to those around you.
That's Guillen's goal.
Although he has now climbed to the 3rd level "Glow" of the "Road of Fire Sword", his actual combat power may be comparable to the 4th level.
But he will not be complacent.
Because Jilan knows very well that his strength is still very weak. Not to mention big bosses like Para Celsus, even if you pick a formal member from "Midnight Rose" at random, he is probably no match...
What's more, there are many ancient esoteric cults and hidden secrets. The strong ones are like clouds. The hostile forces are complicated and their methods are inexplicable.
Thinking of this, the sense of urgency in Gilan's heart became stronger.
Crash...
The boat sailed away from the island of the soul.
Gradually moving away towards the endless black sea.
After dozens of voyages, Jilan has accumulated considerable experience. When his inner island completely disappeared from sight, he stretched out his hand on the side of the boat and touched the sea water.
After that, every ten minutes or so, check the strength of the negative emotions to correct the direction.
And so on and so on.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
After a long voyage, Gilan was once again attacked by a sea monster...
Crash! !
The huge black waves rose high and hit the small boat heavily.
Gilan tried his best to control the boat and prevent it from capsizing.
A huge octopus head emerged from the sea, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was different from the octopus sea monster he had seen before.
The head of this monster is actually a fish head covered with irregular fish scales, but the gills are surrounded by a circle of octopus tentacles. It looks like the "sun" in a hand-drawn book on occultism.
As the tentacles twist and wave, they are like fireworks at the edge of the outline of the sun.
The two round, hollow eyes in the middle looked like human eyes magnified countless times, casting a strange look at Gilan.
Wow! !
A human hand, several times larger than the boat, emerged from the sea, fell headfirst, and grabbed Jilan.
The huge human hands are also covered with "vellus hair". If you look closely, you can see that there are densely packed sea snakes poking out of their skin!
“Get out!!”
Jilan drew out the Staff of Laughter, transformed it into the form of a flower basket cross sword, and ignited the green flames on the sword.
As he drank violently, he entered a "crazy state". The whole person is up to two meters tall, with bulging muscles and red hair dancing wildly.
The secret sword technique was fully deployed, turning into a dark green six-pointed star in mid-air.
噌噌噌噌噌! !
The flame-burning sword body intertwined with blurry afterimages on the giant palm, and sparks flew out.
However, even so, it only cut through the fish scales on its surface, and black, sticky blood flowed out.
Jilan took advantage of the moment when the palm of his hand was stagnant and used all his strength to push the boat forward, crossing the range covered by the palm of his hand at an extremely fast speed.
Boom! !
The giant palm fell and slapped on the sea.
With a loud noise, like a bomb exploding, the sea water splashed up into a columnar water curtain more than ten meters high, and fell with a crash.
Gilan raised his sword and laughed wildly amid the violent jolts.
“Charge!!”
The four-color light on the surface of the boat circulated, becoming more and more dazzling. It was like a swift swordfish, carrying Gilan through the wind and waves, straight around the sea monster, and moving forward without hesitation.
Boom boom boom! !
A series of loud noises, accompanied by rough waves.
Jilan looked back and saw a dozen huge human hands emerging from the sea area he had just passed!
These hands seemed to be parts of a sea monster, constantly waving and stretching, trying to catch Gilan.
Kejilan's current strength is different from before. He drove the spiritual boat overload and escaped as fast as possible.
In just a few minutes, he got rid of the huge and strange sea monster.
After another peaceful voyage.
Ji Lan suddenly looked shocked!
He stood up straight on the boat and looked into the distance.
A vast horizon slowly appeared in sight. And as it continued to get closer, the huge piece of land became higher and higher, like a mountain range magnified countless times.
‘Found it…’
Jilan felt excited and secretly thought.
‘Finally found the land of God “Toyalan”! ’
He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and kept urging the spiritual boat to sail forward.
After a while.
The boat arrived at the shore and ran aground on a golden beach.
Jilan suddenly smelled a strong floral fragrance, as if a hundred kinds of flowers were blooming at the same time, mixing into a sweet but not greasy fresh fragrance.
He jumped off the already very dim boat and officially stepped on the beach.
Looking down, Jilan couldn't help but be startled.
Only then did he realize that the gravel on the beach turned out to be round and plump salt. The reason for the golden color is due to the light cast by the top of the mountain——
Jilan looked up.
He saw a bright but not dazzling golden sun hanging high above the center of the mountain.
After looking directly at it for a long time, Ji Lan even felt that his soul was being cleansed from the inside out, and he felt indescribably comfortable.
Swish.
Sand and sand...
Jilan stepped on the soft and delicate salt flats and walked deeper into the land.
He found that there were many rocks scattered around the coast. Otherwise, it looks very empty.
A few hundred meters away from the beach, you entered a dense black forest. The trees here are extremely tall, and their trunks, branches, and leaves are all a deep black color, but their veins reveal a blue-purple color.
The green bushes are dotted with many bright red wild fruits, as well as strange flowers that Jilan has never seen before.
Even the caterpillars on the leaves have grown into strange shapes. There are yellow ones, pink ones, two-headed ones, and six-headed ones...
The surrounding environment is quite quiet, but you can also hear some birds and insects.
Not long after landing in the Land of Gods, Jilan gradually felt that a dial-shaped ring mark was slowly emerging in his heart.
The position of each scale is an ancient symbol, which gradually becomes clear.
‘The brand of Shenxiang is gradually taking shape...’
Jilan understood and was secretly happy.
