Chapter 358 Silver Vase
Time flies quickly.
After lunch, the cook Paula walked to the table with a plate of prepared candied haws, and said respectfully:
"Master Jilan, this is the 'candied haws' you ordered" , please taste it.”
“Well, thank you for your hard work,” Ji Lan said with a smile.
He glanced at the seven or eight bunches of sugar-coated haws of apples stacked neatly on the plate. They were bright red in color and exuded a fresh and sweet fragrance.
Jilan picked up a bunch and tried to take a bite. He held a whole piece in his mouth and bit it into pieces——
Crack.
At this moment, the restaurant is a little quiet.
The cook, maid, bodyguard, old housekeeper Charles, and the female secretary Lenis on the side were all staring at the blond young man.
They had never seen this "peculiar" dessert before and were quite curious.
Jilan chewed the candied haws. The combination of the sweetness of the sugar coating and the sourness of the hawthorn burst out a long-lost taste.
“It’s delicious.” He praised and smiled.
Immediately, he picked up another bunch and handed it to Lenis's hand, indicating:
"Try it."
"Yes, sir!" Lenis was a little flattered and tried to take a bite.
Soon, she raised her eyebrows.
Although the taste in your mouth is not very delicious, it is still quite novel.
"It's delicious, sir." Lenis said.
“Then eat some more, there is still a lot in the kitchen.”
Gillan chuckled.
Soon, he made a gesture and called:
"Old Charles."
The butler standing not far from the table quickly stepped forward and walked away. He came forward and bowed:
"Young Master."
"You can ask the cook to fetch some more and share them with everyone... Also, if there is nothing urgent this afternoon, there is no need to go upstairs and ask me for permission."
"Yes, Master."
Old Charles nodded to express his understanding.
After giving the instructions, Ji Lan stood up, put a few bunches of candied haws on a clean plate, and carried them upstairs.
"Lenis, if you are tired, you can take a lunch break here. I have something to do, so I will go up first."
Ji Lan turned around and said to the female secretary.
"Please be busy. I will go back to the Triumph Building after a while. There are still some tasks that need to be handed over over there."
Lenice wiped the sugar stains at the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Said respectfully.
Jilan hummed and walked upstairs.
After returning to the master bedroom on the second floor, he locked the door and drew the curtains. Then he took out the real film "Silver Vase" given by the teacher and installed it on the projector.
After plugging in the mercury battery, I flipped the switch.
Click.
The shuttle starts to turn and the light box casts a beam of light.
Gilan held the plate and sat cross-legged on the floor. According to the teacher's instructions, he deliberately lowered his eyes and did not look at the movie screen on the curtain to avoid entering it.
He put down the plate, took out a bag of gold coins that he had prepared in advance, placed it on the side of the candied haws, and waited quietly.
An hour and a half passed quickly.
The movie came to an end, and the familiar bell rang at the right time:
When——
When——
When——
Jilan took a deep breath, then stood up, walked to the projector, and plugged in two more mercury batteries. Immediately, he turned to face the curtain that had already rolled out the credits and applauded.
Pa bang bang.
‘In this way, you should be able to meet the “director” apostle hidden in the film, the “recording assistant” Hera Nibal, right? ’
The applause lasted for nearly ten seconds.
Suddenly, Jilan noticed that the picture on the curtain changed... In just the blink of an eye, the screen went black, accompanied by flashing noise and vertical spots.
Slowly, a dark room came into view.
The four walls of the room are densely covered with thousands of display screens, playing different movie scenes in a loop.
In the middle is a single leather sofa, with a bumpy figure sitting on it.
Gilan recognized it at a glance, it was a lady.
He was wearing a blue plaid pajamas and a pair of plush slippers on his feet. But what shocked Gilan was that the lady's head was actually a square instrument.
The front of the instrument looks like a TV screen, and the back is covered with wires, and hung with sirens, bells, bells and other miscellaneous sound-producing objects.
Noticing Gilan's gaze, the woman turned her head and faced him with the square screen.
"'Ms. Hera, 'recording assistant'."
Gilan's pupils shrank and he quickly greeted politely.
He saw a woman's face displayed on the screen, with delicate features but an indifferent expression.
"I know you...your name is Gilan Iros. You awakened Mr. A's self-awareness and got a message from the 'director' from him."
Hera's screen face opens and closes her mouth, her voice It seemed to be coming from the speaker behind the instrument.
"'Director' also left some information with me, but the time has not come yet and you are still too weak. I cannot tell you the information for the time being."
Hearing this, Jilan Startled.
In addition to Mr. A, does Ms. Hera also have a message left by the "director" here?
From this point of view, as the "director" of the senior time traveler, it seems that he has known about his existence for a long time and tried to tell him some secrets...
'He is still too weak and is not even qualified to know the information. ’
Jilan sighed secretly.
He did not forget the purpose of looking for a "recording assistant", so he said:
"Ms. Hera, I want to watch the movie "The Silver Vase", can you please accommodate me and extend the time? The time I spent in the film?" As he spoke, Gillan picked up the plate of candied haws and held the bag of gold coins in his other hand.
"This is the thank you gift I prepared for you."
"Bring me?" Hera said coldly. "You are breaking the rules!"
"According to the 'director's' wish, I gave up my body and freedom and was trapped in the film forever, trying to maintain the normal operation of the film world."
"Kuze's kingdom imprint will cause interference to the film, and the mysterious power above level 4 is far more powerful than the mystic, which is likely to destroy the structure of the film."
"It is absolutely not allowed to allow Kuze to stay in the movie for a long time!"
"..." Gillan was stunned.
Why is there something wrong with the script?
According to teacher Parra, the "recording assistant" Hera Nibal should be easy to bribe, otherwise this kind of thing would not be able to become an unspoken rule.
Buzz——
The next second, the siren behind Ms. Hera's head whined, signaling the end of a movie being played.
He took the opportunity to look away, glanced at the screen in front of him, and said in an extremely low voice:
"Never again..."
If Jilan hadn't had sharp hearing, he might still have Lady Hera's voice could not be captured.
Suddenly, a ray of light bloomed from Ms. Hera's face, shone through the curtain into reality, and fell on the two things in Gilan's hands.
With a snap, Jilan suddenly felt his hands were empty.
The candied haws, the plate, and the bag of gold coins all disappeared.
Looking at the scene on the curtain, Ms. Hera was sitting on the sofa with these two things in her hands.
I saw him raising his hand to open the cover of the "top of the head", picking up a bunch of candied haws and throwing it in. Then he tipped the bag upside down, and the glittering gold coins jingled into it.
On the screen of the instrument, Ms. Hera took a bite of the candied haws with no expression on her face, followed by a sigh from the speaker behind her head:
"It really misses the taste... But it will definitely be better if you add some sesame seeds. Especially the fried white sesame seeds, sprinkle them before the syrup cools."
"I understand, Ms. Hera , I will definitely sprinkle sesame seeds on it next time."
Jilan said respectfully.
Unexpectedly, Ms. Hera’s face on the screen showed an indifferent expression, and she said righteously:
“There will be no next time!”
As he spoke, He threw another bunch of candied haws into his "head".
"Bribery is a bad habit, and the rules are broken by you people!"
Gilan noticed that Ms. Hera, who was sitting on the sofa, changed her sitting position and no longer He was dignified, but with his legs crossed and his plush slippers dangling.
He cursed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, saying:
"I am so ashamed, Ms. Hera."
"Okay, I'm busy, don't disturb me."
The lady waved her hand impatiently.
The next second, the curtain flashed and the screen went completely black.
Jilan was silent for a few seconds and suddenly chuckled.
For some reason, he felt that the apostle of the "director" was a little cute.
"Everything is ready, let's officially start."
Gilan reinstalled the real film "Silver Vase" and flipped the switch again.
Click.
The shuttle started turning and the movie started playing.
Jilan called out the emissary Mo Weiwei, and then looked at the curtain together.
In the center of the screen, a series of white subtitles first appeared:
"Dawn AD, 1139."
"The Kingdom of Sakya, capital Andea."
< br>Soon, an aerial view of a medieval city slowly appeared on the screen.
There are many stone and wooden buildings, and local residents shuttle through the streets. There are many stalls on the roadside, selling fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, furs, and even slaves.
Gillan noticed that the slaves were all men, stripped of their clothes and tied around the neck, and they were kneeling in wooden cages with numb faces.
Most of the guards patrolling the streets and the luxuriously dressed pedestrians are women.
'Yes, the historical Sakya Kingdom was a feminist society, and men had a very low status in this country...'
Jilan thought to himself.
He felt a flash of consciousness and his eyelids blinked unconsciously.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the environment around him had changed and he had entered the movie.
Jilan was standing on the side of the road, with people coming and going in front of him, and the sound of bustling noises in his ears.
He looked down at what he was wearing. He was only wearing a thin linen robe and a pair of wooden-soled straw sandals.
‘It seems that he is a third-class civilian with the lowest status. ’
Jilan secretly thought.
‘The purpose of this movie viewing is to find Mrs. McCalla Melasquez and learn mystical knowledge from her... Well, let’s find a place to stay first so that we can explore the information. ’
But before he had taken a step forward, two strong-backed women wearing leather vests and carrying short swords blocked his way.
Jilan frowned.
"Young man, come here."
One of the short-haired women grinned.
She raised her hand and grabbed Gilan's shoulder, and pointed her other hand behind her, signaling:
"The noble lady has taken a liking to you."
Gilan looked up and only I saw a carriage parked not far away, with a fat middle-aged woman sitting in the carriage.
The woman was staring at him with a wolf-like look, smiling maliciously.
Jilan nodded and smiled shyly:
"Okay."
