Chapter 325: Telling the truth
After hanging up the "Alchemy Hotline", Jilan left the quiet room.
It is now past eight o'clock in the evening, and most of the facilities in the public areas of the underground miasma shelter have been shut down. Even the lights in the passages are only a few scattered.
It looks a little dim and very quiet.
The soldiers basically returned to their living rooms, either reading or falling asleep.
This is also a necessary measure to save energy.
Gilan walked through several passages alone, then found the living room where the ladies were and knocked on the door.
Tuk Tuk.
Click.
The person who opened the door was Maiev. She seemed to have just taken a shower. She was wearing a white low-cut nightgown and wiping her wet hair with a towel.
When she saw Jilan, she was a little surprised, but she was not shy. Instead, she smiled and said:
"Mr. Jilan, do you want to come in and sit down?"
"No." Jilan road.
He glanced into the room and found Ms. Teresa wearing a turtleneck gray sweater, sitting on the sofa and reading the information carefully.
Kaya was only wearing pink tank tops and shorts, lying on the lower floor of the bunk bed, playing with building blocks and swinging her legs in boredom.
"I have something to do with Ms. Teresa."
Gillen stated his intention.
Mavey raised her pretty eyebrows, then turned back and called out to the lady on the sofa.
Ms. Teresa put down the information, stood up and walked to the door, while Maiev also left voluntarily.
“Jilan, what do you want from me?”
The lady smiled and said softly.
Gilan did not beat around the bush and spoke directly:
"I would like to borrow your 'alchemy hotline' and make a call to Chairman Parra."
"You Want to call the Chairman?”
Ms. Teresa was a little surprised.
It stands to reason that when gravediggers go out on official duties, they should communicate directly with the person in charge if they have any problems.
Let’s not talk about whether it is against the rules to call the chairman of the committee at a higher level. Just talking about this kind of thing is actually disrespectful to the person in charge.
But Ms. Teresa did not refuse, but agreed very readily:
"No problem, just a moment."
After saying that, she turned around and went back , took out a small metal microphone from the inner pocket of his coat.
After plugging in the mercury battery, he handed it to Gillan's hand. At the same time, he asked thoughtfully:
"Do you need a confidential environment?"
"If possible, thank you."
Gilan held the "hotline" , nodded.
Ms. Theresa gestured and walked out of the room.
Gilan followed her to an empty room next door.
“Let’s call here.”
“Okay.”
Gillen found a metal chair to sit down and called Ms. Teresa’s dedicated person in charge. "hotline".
After a monotonous beeping sound, the phone was picked up with a click, and Para's magnetic deep voice came:
"Hello, Teresa."
"President, it's me, Guillain Iros."
"Huh?" Parra was a little surprised, but still smiled: "Jilan Lan, what’s the matter?”
“I investigated some important clues in Late Autumn Town and got confirmation from Mr. Youniski. I would like to report to you.”
Gilan. said in a deep voice.
"Yuniski..." Parra said softly, quite surprised. "'Old Stick Maker' told you his real name?"
"Yes." Gillan glanced at Ms. Teresa sitting in front, and said: "I have been promoted to level 4. Chairman Parra.”
As soon as these words came out, Ms. Teresa looked up sharply.
The expression was stunned and the eyes were shocked.
Even Parra on the other end of the "hotline" fell silent.
The scene was quiet for a while.
"Faster than I expected..."
Pala Celsus sighed with emotion.
“It’s no wonder that Yunisky will inform you of his real name and the inside information of ‘Midnight Rose’... In your situation, it will be a matter of time before you become a formal member.”
“ I will recommend you personally later, Gilan.”
"Thank you, Chairman." Gillan said.
"You're welcome. By the way, what did you want to report to me just now?"
Para asked on the other end of the phone.
"Well, that's it..."
Gilan told Parra all about the Blood Harbor gang and the "Golden Troop No. 7" behind it.
Moreover, it also explained that the local council colluded with the gangs to facilitate the acquisition of the red whale heart and so on.
"The Fallen Leaves Mediterranean Sea hides many secrets, not only the whale oil battery, but also many irreplaceable mysterious materials, which all come from there."
Parra sighed.
"Actually, I have known for a long time that the Federation must have penetrated and arranged in the coastal area, just to get close to the source of materials and study blood sea creatures."
"How is the progress of your mission?"
he asked again.
Gilan answered honestly:
"We have prepared ships and energy, and will officially set sail tomorrow to the unknown island where the 'Nightmare Monument' is located, to carry out the task of removing the monument. "
"That's good, but you also need to be aware that the local council and the Blood Harbor gang may get involved," Parra warned.
"In addition, the Investigative Committee arrested several members of the 'Eclipse Society' in Bosvia. After interrogation, it was found that they also had arrangements in Ot City and were careful."
"I will pay attention. "Jilan said.
Pala chuckled twice and paused briefly.
"In view of the complicated situation on your side, for your convenience, I plan to promote you."
"Promotion?" Jilan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Parra's voice came from the phone. "Now that you have been promoted to Kusei, I should also fulfill my promise and let you officially enter the center of power of the empire."
"I will retain your identity as a 'gravedigger', but I will remove you The position of committee leader will be transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as executive minister."
"Huh?" Jilan couldn't help but be surprised.
Executive Minister of Foreign Affairs?
What is this position...
"Generally speaking, there is only one minister in each department, but they are just ordinary people...In fact, the executive ministers are served by core personnel of the empire, and they are all mysterious people who have the highest authority of the department."
< br>Parra explained.
Hearing this, Jilan finally understood some official secrets of the empire.
"However, the formal procedures need to wait until you come back. You will first join the 'Knights of the Cross' and become a 'Knight of the Cross' of the empire."
Para again road.
Gillan was confused.
"Similar to the 'Midnight Rose', one of the conditions for selection of the 'Knights of the Cross' is to be a long-standing person. In addition, they must have made outstanding contributions to the empire."
"Special Lesa is a member of the Knights."
"That's it..."
Gilan looked up and looked at Ms. Theresa again, and the other party responded. Smile.
"Speaking of the 'Knights of the Cross', you must be familiar with it, because its predecessor was the 'Knights of Healing.'"
Parra added.
"There are also four knight captains, the 'Silver Crown Knight' Agni Baldwin, the 'Skull Melting Knight' Carl Rega, the 'Silent Knight' Adams Celedonio... and There is me, the 'Knight of the White Staff' Para Celsus."
"As for the leader, naturally the leader will be the leader."
Listening to this introduction, Gilan was quite surprised. surprise.
"Where is the former 'Bloody Knight' Hermann Tulio?"
He couldn't help but ask. Parra was silent for a few seconds, and just said:
"He surrendered to the enemy."
"?!" Jilan was stunned.
He really never thought that the knight commander under William would defect to the enemy...
"This matter involves secret history, so it is not appropriate to say more."
Parra changed the subject.
"In short, I will submit your application for joining the regiment to the head of state Caesar as soon as possible. The 'Cross Knight' has the highest privileges in the empire and will help you perform your mission."
"Also That means I no longer have to worry about the local council or other hostile forces?”
"You can say that."
Para said solemnly.
"Parliament, the military, the Blood Harbor Gang, No. 7 Golden Force and even the Eclipse Society... As long as you are sure, you can do whatever you want, I will give you the full answer."
"But I There is a request, that the 'Second Level Monument' should be dealt with as soon as possible."
"Yes, Chairman, I understand."
Gillan suddenly smiled brightly.
What he likes to hear most is "Do whatever you want, I'll cover it all".
Hearing Jilan's obviously lighter tone, Parra suddenly felt that he should restrain this little guy...
The young man was too murderous.
But then I thought about it, maybe I was too conservative?
For some special situations, young talents like Gillan are needed to be better suited to handle them.
"By the way, Chairman Parra, we found that the miasma concentration here in Late Autumn Town is somewhat abnormal. It is obviously higher than the average level, reaching an astonishing 5.2 Pa."
Gilan I remembered something and reported this information again.
Hearing this, Parra let out a light sigh.
“5.2 Pa... is indeed abnormal.”
He pondered for a moment, seemed to have some guesses, and could not help but lower his voice and warned:
"Be more careful, especially after setting sail."
"Okay, Chairman."
Click.
The phone hangs up.
Parra was still sitting on the leather chair in the office, her brows furrowed and her eyes deep.
A long while.
He murmured:
“Is the source really the sea of blood?”
…
…
Late night.
In the dark living room, Renault and Muguer slept on a bunk bed. On the other side of the aisle, Garnold slept on the lower floor, while Gillan lay on the upper floor.
He controlled his consciousness to sink slowly.
When Jilan fell into sleep.
As usual, he came to his own spiritual kingdom.
In the open-air stone hall, on the seats at the top of the five spiral stone pillars, all members of the "Hand of Dawn" were absent.
"Hongxiao."
Everyone looked at him with a smile.
Jilan nodded, jumped up, and landed on the edge of the Thumb Throne.
"How is everyone doing lately?"
He asked casually.
Black Sandpiper was the first to answer:
"I followed the team all the way south and have now arrived at Ote City in the Bay Area. I have successfully completed the ascetic assessment and became an 'Ascetic Sect' Official member."
"Huh?" Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.
Black Sandpiper and the others actually arrived in Ote City...
"Not bad." He smiled. "How is your passing rate?"
"Relatively low." Black Sandpiper shook his head and sighed. "Of the team of more than a dozen people, only three people were selected in the end. The rest either died halfway or gave up midway."
"However, after successfully joining the sect, I received a copy of the secret practice "Bitterness" "Cultivation of the Seven Precepts", and a bottle of secret medicine for tempering the body."
Hearing this, Ji Lan frowned slightly.
"The secret medicine should be fine, but as for the so-called precepts, I suggest you practice carefully... To imitate divinity and abandon humanity, there may be serious side effects."
Black Sandpiper was a little surprised, I didn’t expect Hong Xiao to know so much about the “Seven Commandments”.
He nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry Hong Xiao, I'm just pretending, I won't really take these precepts seriously."
"That's good." Jilan agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Baiou also shared some internal information about the "White Pigeon Tower".
“I got the news that the ninth pigeon Dedel of Sonnets in the tower has been replaced by a new person, while the fifth pigeon Idrissa has gone to the city of Oute in the Bay Area...”< br>
She glanced at Black Sandpiper and then at Gilan.
"Well... I suspect that the 'White Dove Tower' and the 'Ascetic Sect' should take action, otherwise this would be too much of a coincidence."
Gilan's eyes narrowed.
According to what Baiou said, it was indeed very strange.
Two hostile secret society forces have actually arrived in the coastal area where he is currently located.
It’s hard not to imagine whether there is some conspiracy in this...
“I am currently on official duty in Late Autumn Town, Ote City. If you have any urgent information, please share it in time. Contact. ”
Jilan said to everyone.
The white gull and black snipe were startled and nodded quickly.
At this moment, Aurora, the red bird, opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise:
"I...my next destination here is also Late Autumn Town."< br>
“Huh?!” Everyone looked surprised.
Why are everyone’s forces heading over there?
"It's not what the 'Holy Sisters' means, but I, as a newcomer, will study alone in the 'Steel Maidens'...and they have been hired by the Machinery Guild to go to Late Autumn Town to hunt down the members of the 'Eclipse Society' . ”
“That’s it.” Ji Lan understood.
After the Investigation Committee investigated the activities of the "Solar Eclipse Society" in Bosvia, the Machinery Guild naturally would not let this opportunity pass by.
After all, there are irreconcilable conflicts between the superiors believed in by the two forces.
Currently, miasma and natural disasters are rampant. The top executives of the Machinery Union were summoned by Pala. They are busy developing new anti-miasma medicines and have no time to pursue the "Eclipse Society".
Hiring another neutral secret society organization has become a reasonable method.
"There is nothing special happening here. I am still busy sorting out the details of the "Enlightenment Fire" series of films and filing them into a book."
Cang Stork said.
He stroked his chest and saluted Jilan.
“Hongxiao, thanks to you for watching the movie in advance, you provided a lot of clues about the movie, which saved me a lot of effort.”
"You're welcome." Gillan smiled. "Next time you get new real film, don't forget to tell me."
"Definitely." Cang Stork said solemnly.
Immediately afterwards, Gillan traded a wave of "wick potions" with the members of the secret society.
During this period, several people did not forget to make money. Although it was not much, they were able to trade 2 to 3 potions from Jilan to facilitate their own practice.
Gilan paid 9 "wick potions" and got 990 Caesar.
After the transaction is completed.
"Please be careful during this period, especially Red Bird and Black Sandpiper... Something big may happen in Late Autumn Town and even the entire Ote City."
Gilan gave a final warning. .
Everyone looked serious and nodded in agreement.
