Chapter 346 Appointment
A moment later.
Two cars, one behind the other, arrived at the downstairs of the Triumph Building.
The soldiers patrolling around seemed to have received the news in advance and stood in a row. Under the leadership of two lieutenants, they all saluted this way.
Bang.
Gilan got out of the car, and the short-haired woman beside him quickly stepped forward and respectfully closed the door for him.
Immediately, Jilan held the brim of his hat in one hand and a gray cane in the other. In the biting cold wind, he was surrounded by a group of officials in suits and ties, and strode into the door of the building.
These people sent Ji Lan all the way to the 70th floor, and then waited outside.
There was no one in the committee hall this morning. Gilan walked to the door of the chairman’s office alone, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Tuk Tuk.
"Please come in."
The familiar, magnetic low voice came from the room.
Creak——
Jilan pushed the door open and entered.
"Chairman Parra." He said respectfully.
"Gilan, you're here." The white-haired old gentleman sitting behind the curved desk smiled. "Please take a seat."
Jilan nodded and sat down.
He looked up at the chairman of the committee and found that the world-famous great alchemist was now looking very old, not living up to his former stamina.
The cheeks have also been severely sunken, the cheekbones are distinct, and they are quite thin.
"Chairman, you..."
Ji Lan's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice.
"Haha, don't worry." Parra smiled. "Everything should follow 'equivalent exchange'. This is just the necessary price for using the 'Philosopher's Sword'."
'The Philosopher's Sword? Was it the red sword that Chairman Parra took out of his cane that night? ’
Gilan immediately understood something, and he wisely did not ask too much, just nodded.
“Jilan, have you received the letter of appointment?”
Parra smiled kindly.
"Received." Gilan nodded.
"Well...the head of state has agreed to my appointment and dismissal of your position. Next, you will serve as the executive minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Parra said.
“You know the public opinion in China during this period, right?”
"Yes, it's clear." Gillan paused for a moment, raised his eyes and said: "There were three final explosions sent by the Federation that night... Bosivalia was destroyed because of this, and the people in the country were very vocal about war. . ”
“Aren’t you curious why the capital Muse was not damaged at all by the final explosion?”
Pala asked with a smile.
Gilan was startled, but said calmly:
"Curious...but I think it has something to do with the Head of State."
"Yes." Parra said solemnly. "Although the head of state is also limited by his body, due to the threshold of the world, he cannot exert strength beyond the sixth level limit...but he can leverage the legal power that originally belonged to Si Chencai, so it cannot be defined by common sense. "
"The 'Elephant Guards' commanded by 'Saber Chief' Edwin Holment is the ace of the 'Blind General'... The number of its members is unknown, but they all have the ultimate ability. The power of explosion is the force we are most afraid of. "
"Fortunately, they are also limited by the world and lack the ability to move their bodies, so it is impossible to launch the 'final explosion' on a large scale."
Jilan was shocked to hear such secret information.
He was also curious why Chairman Parra would elaborate on this information with him.
"Gilan, after you take office as the Executive Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tomorrow, I need you to do something."
At this time, Parra suddenly changed the subject.
Gilan nodded and responded:
"Please tell me."
"I hope that you will come forward in person, as the new executive minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to tell the whole world People of the Empire, the whole world declares that the Bremen Empire will officially declare war on the Owena Federation! "
Parra's expression was extremely solemn and her tone was solemn.
Jilan was stunned.
He personally came forward...
What is the meaning of this?
"Gilan."
Parra folded his hands, stared at the blond young man opposite the curved desk, and said solemnly:
"I don't have much time left."
"?!" Gilan's pupils flashed. shrink. "You...how could this happen?"
Para Celsus, as the most famous occultist, the great scholar of the empire, and a powerful figure recorded in the secret history... must have reached the mortal world. The pinnacle, but also unable to escape the shackles of lifespan? !
“It’s time for everyone, Jilan.”
Parra seemed very calm and smiled calmly.
“On the day I understood the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, everything was doomed. I used the power of such a miraculous thing, and therefore lost the chance to take any further steps on the ‘Path of the Fire Sword’. The hope... cannot ascend. This is God's will and a part of 'equivalent exchange'."
"Perhaps dying as a mortal is my destiny."
“Everything exists, and existence has traces. This is the unchanging truth of the world... The so-called soul and the so-called nightmare tablet are all appearances, and I don’t agree with it.”
“I think knowledge The inheritance of will is the most powerful proof of human existence.”
"So Gilan, I plan to leave traces of my existence before I die, and also leave my hope for the Knights, the Empire, and the world..."
Pala asked solemnly Said:
"Would you like to be my student...the only student of Para Celsus?"
Gilan opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.
It is a huge surprise to be accepted as the only student by such a legendary figure.
How unwilling he is!
But pie will not fall from the sky, and the gift of fate will definitely be marked with an overweight, waiting for the day of repayment.
"I will do my best to entrust you with the alchemy, physical training, meditation, mystical knowledge, and even all the human resources I have mastered."
Paracelsus said calmly.
“But I have a condition.”
"Please speak." Jilan took a deep breath and said.
"I want you to take my place in the future, help the Knights, and help the empire continue to realize that great dream... Let the world be free of war and strife, and enter an era of peace and tranquility."
“This is a heavy responsibility that no one can bear.”
“Please think carefully before answering me.”
Gilan fell into silence.
He could boast about the promise made by Haikou, and then learn from Parra with peace of mind, thereby mastering more powerful power.
But Gillan wouldn’t do that.
He has never been a treacherous person.
From beginning to end, he had faith and perseverance that others could not understand.
Just like at the beginning of time travel, he inherited this intact body and promised to realize his dream and buy a decent tombstone for his deceased mother.
No matter what, he will fulfill his promise.
The same is true at this moment.
If he agrees to Parra, then Gilan will definitely not break his promise.
But this commitment is too heavy.
An outstanding figure like William Gerald, even if he ascends to become a Si Chen, is still hampered by other Si Chens.
Even with the help of a talented team like the Healing Knights, they were still surrounded and suppressed by all forces.
As the overlord, the Bremen Empire still failed to achieve its dream after three hundred years of conquest and management. At this moment, it was forced to the final decisive battle. Can he, a mystic who is only at level 4, do better than Parra?
Gilan was not confident.
But he was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity, an opportunity to become stronger in a short period of time!
'I have "beauty" and I also have determination. Although I, Mo Xing, was an ordinary person with disabled legs in my previous life, my heart is by no means weaker than others! '
'Mr. Clark Smith is also a time traveler. He can become the "director" of February Sichen. Why can't I ascend to the throne of God? ’
‘If you can’t become a god, how can you live freely and freely as you want? ’
Jilan lowered his eyes and thought to himself.
A long while.
He took a long breath, raised his head solemnly, and said:
"Mr. Parra, I am willing to become your student, inherit your dreams and will, and try my best to realize it in the future!"
"Very good."
Para stared at the young man.
The eyes were full of relief.
"I read you right, Gilan."
"So do you understand now why I want you to stand in front of the stage and personally announce the war against the Owena Federation?"
"Well, I probably understand." Gilan nodded. "Are you planning to train me to be a person who can stand alone from this moment on?"
"That's right." Parra smiled approvingly. "Letting you come to the stage so early is actually a helpless move. If I had more time, I would have asked you to keep a low profile until the day when you become a blockbuster. It's a pity..."
He didn't do it again. Continuing to speak, he ordered:
"Remember, from the moment you become my student, Pala, you will definitely become the target of public criticism... But I believe that with your talent, you can withstand all this, and adapt to and control it in a very short period of time. The situation."
"Palawe...Teacher, I understand."
"Hmm." "In addition, the second group of gravediggers suffered serious casualties. Teresa died in the line of duty, and there is a lack of a person in charge... I plan to let you temporarily take her place and continue to lead the second group."
"Okay." Gillan No excuses.
“After tomorrow’s events are over, the Head of State will personally host a dinner for you at the Sifang Palace... At that time, members of the ‘Knights of the Cross’ representing the center of imperial power will be present to witness you. Become an official knight ”
Parra described the subsequent process and arrangements.
"After that, there will be a 'Midnight Rose' initiation ceremony that requires your presence. I will introduce some of my friends in the field of occultism to you, so that you can gradually enter their field of vision."
< br>"This is an immeasurable wealth."
"I will follow your arrangements, teacher."
Gilan lowered his head and said softly.
"Very good." Parra nodded with satisfaction. "When everything gets on track, both countries will inevitably take action to prepare for the third war... I don't have much time, so I don't have much time left for you."< br>
“In view of this, I will spare no effort to teach you everything I have mastered, and I hope you can try to absorb them in this limited time.”
“Okay, Teacher."
Jilan said solemnly.
Pala nodded and waved her hand.
"Well, go back and don't be late tomorrow."
"Yes." Gilan stood up, took off his hat respectfully, then turned and left under the calm eyes of the white-haired old man.
When the door clicked shut, Parra turned to look out the window, her eyes far away.
…
…
The next morning.
Before dawn, Jilan got up early to wash up.
He did not feel nervous because of the upcoming inauguration ceremony, and continued to practice in the room as usual.
After being promoted to the fourth level of Kusei, he found that his progress gradually slowed down.
Whether it is gnosis or physical body, it is difficult to grow through meditation or physical exercise. Spirituality cannot make any progress through this conventional means.
'It seems that in addition to relying on the original ability of "Golden Sigh", I can only use higher-level potions to assist in practice... Perhaps Teacher Pala can answer this confusion for me. ’
Jilan wiped his sweat with a towel and put on the high-end suit that he needed to attend today.
Thinking in his mind, he used scented hair wax to neatly comb back his shoulder-length blond hair, which finally gave him an extremely handsome and mature look.
‘Well, let’s finish what we are doing first…and then we will officially study with Teacher Parra. ’
Gilan put on a black silk top hat and walked out the door holding the staff of laughter.
Downstairs, there were already ten black cars waiting quietly, surrounded by official personnel and bodyguards in black suits.
The surrounding residents were quite surprised by this, wondering which big shot this was for. Even Mrs. Marsland from the grocery store across the road and the young men and women from the bakery gathered together at the door to watch the excitement.
It wasn't until a young man in black clothes with a straight posture and extraordinary temperament walked out of the corridor that the group of officials who had been waiting for a long time gathered around him and respectfully sent him to the car.
Soon the convoy formed a long queue and drove away from Price Street, leaving the surrounding neighbors in awe.
“That’s Mr. Guillain Iros from Building 32?!”
"Oh, my God!"
"Who is that young man?"
"I don't know..."
"Who is he?" The nephew of a big shot? "
"Don't make wild guesses. Mr. Gillan is a senior agent of the Prohibition Bureau. He has made many meritorious deeds and was once an earl. "
"So, I seem to have an impression."
"Your news is out of date!"
"Oh? Secco, tell me..."
< br>The crowd was chattering, but Gilan couldn't hear it, and he didn't care.
As the motorcade gradually drove into the central area, Gillan sat in the back seat and saw through the car window that more people gradually appeared on the street.
In the neighborhood near Sifang Palace, the density of crowds on the streets reached its peak, and many police officers were still maintaining order. This was the first time Jilan saw so many people outside after the miasma disaster broke out.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, most people had smiles of excitement and anticipation on their faces. Some people held up signboards saying "Start War", others carried cloth banners with bloody words such as "Revenge, Downe the Federation" and others organized to shout slogans in unison.
They seemed to have heard some rumors and knew that today, the official empire would make a statement.
The atrocities committed by the Federation against Bosvia will also have a result.
"Mr. Gillan, Sifang Palace has arrived."
At this time, the short-haired woman sitting in the passenger seat turned back and whispered to Gillan in the back seat.
"The induction ceremony has been prepared. After getting off the bus, someone will be responsible for receiving you."
"Got it." Gilan nodded.
The motorcade slowly drove into the Sifang Palace compound. On the spacious lawns on the left and right sides, nearly ten hundred people's honor guards were lined up early.
They were all dressed in gray-blue military uniforms, wearing berets on their heads, with solemn expressions, carrying guns and flags, and played magnificent war songs to the convoy.
"Salute -"
chanted by ten school-level officers.
Whoosh!
The honor guard saluted the motorcade in unison.
When Jilan saw this scene, his calm mood suddenly became unstable.
‘What will my future be like? '
He looked at the approaching Square Palace building, the wall reliefs on the four corners, and the "X" flag of the Bremen Empire, and couldn't help but ask himself questions.
The next second, his eyes gradually became firmer.
‘No matter what, I will rely on my strength to reach the top of the world step by step! ’
