Chapter 381 Fulla
“Sorry, Mr. Gillan, my husband Stavin is still busy at work in the Sifang Palace and may not be back until night.”
Wait until Gillan is on the sofa in the living room After sitting down, Mrs. Norma said to him apologetically.
Soon, she ordered the servant to bring the brewed tea, and then poured a cup for the distinguished guest herself.
Jilan took the tea cup, thanked him, said a few polite words, shook his head and smiled:
"It doesn't matter. It's just a wall and a few steps away. I'll just come and visit Mr. Stavin when he's free next time... Besides, this time I'm here just to reciprocate the gift and take a seat."
As he spoke, he handed over the gift bags he had brought.
The female secretary Lenis explained at the right time:
"Mrs. Norma, these four gifts were carefully selected by Chief Gillan for your family."
< br>"Oh?" The lady looked surprised.
She took the gift bag, handed the children's gifts to Cordell and Furla, and then opened her and her husband's gifts.
"Oh! This is the latest three-color silk scarf from 'Isabella'. I just heard Mrs. Thackeray and others talking about it two days ago!"
Mrs. Norma praised it. Wearing a silk scarf gift box and smiling happily, he said to Ji Lan.
"I like this gift very much. Thank you, Mr. Gillan."
Gilan smiled politely and responded with a "you are welcome".
The lady opened her husband Stavin's gift bag again, which contained a dark blue shiny silk tie.
"Staven has always been irresistible to dark blue things. He will definitely like this tie."
As he said this, his son Cordell also opened it. His gift box contained a cane handle, gilded and carved, like a work of art.
The young man played with the handle and liked it quite a lot.
As for Fulla, her gift was a sealed and framed specimen plate. There are colorful butterfly specimens such as swallowtail swallowtail butterfly, red-necked birdwing butterfly, glasswing butterfly, dead leaf butterfly and blue morpho butterfly.
Seeing this gift, her originally pale face turned a little rosy. She admired the specimen intently and raised the corners of her mouth.
It seems to have struck a chord with her.
"It seems that both Cordell and Furla like Mr. Gillan's gift."
Mrs. Norma covered her mouth and smiled.
The brother and sister heard their mother's hint, so they looked at each other, smiled at Jilan and thanked her.
"As long as you like it." Gillan smiled.
He drank tea and chatted with Mrs. Norma for a while. During this period, I also had a few casual conversations with the young brother and sister.
About ten or twenty minutes later.
Jilan did not intend to stay long, so he stood up after saying goodbye and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Gillan, won't you sit down for a while longer?"
Mrs. Norma and her family also stood up politely.
Jilan made an excuse and declined:
“No, I have something else to deal with later.”
“So that’s it, that’s really it. It's a pity, I originally wanted to invite you to have dinner with me at home."
Mrs. Norma looked regretful.
She greeted her children again:
"Cordell, Furla, give Mr. Gillan a gift."
"Okay, mom."
Brother and sister The two agreed, and then sent Gilan and Lenis out of the courtyard all the way.
After saying goodbye, Gillan left Stavin's house.
But when he almost reached the door of his single-family apartment, Fulla chased him from behind alone.
"Mr. Gillan, please...please wait a moment."
Fuura said nervously.
Gilan was not surprised by this and just smiled politely.
In fact, his sudden visit to Stavin's house was prompted by Fulla's phone call.
"Miss Furla, what else can I do?"
He smiled.
Fura smoothed her slightly messy hair on her forehead and glanced at Lenis, a mature woman beside the blond young man, with a worried look on her face.
Seeing this, Jilan signaled the female secretary with his eyes. The latter immediately understood the meaning, left first, and walked into the single-family apartment.
After Lenis left, only Gillan and Fulla were left. The girl was relieved and whispered:
"Mr. Gillan, I have recently encountered some mysterious dangers... Several friends and I have been cursed by the devil, and our bodies have become increasingly weak and painful."
"The devil is extremely powerful, and we cannot We are unable to resist. It is torturing us in this way, forcing us to sign a contract with it and become its slaves."
Fura's eyes were quite uneasy, and she said in a pleading tone:
"I. I know that in addition to being the Minister of Foreign Affairs, you also serve as the head of the mysterious investigation committee... Please help us."
"Devil? Curse?" Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.
He looked at the girl and asked:
"But why didn't you tell your father about this? Instead, you called my secretary privately?"
"Dad Because of the death of the eldest brother Leno An, I have always had a hatred for the mysterious power...I, I secretly studied the mysticism, and got into this matter. If he knew about it, he would be very disappointed in me."
Fuura lowered her head and said, then raised her eyes, full of expectation and pleading.
“We hope you can help us.”
"Well, okay." Gillan nodded, made a phone call gesture, and said: "I will contact my colleagues on the committee later and ask them to help you exorcise the demon and eliminate the curse on you."
< br>After hearing this, Fulla did not show joy. Instead, she looked embarrassed and said:
"Mr. Gillan, can...can you not let others know about this?"
"Why?" Jilan stared at the girl.
"I...can I not say it?"
Fulla gritted her teeth.
Jilan took a deep look at her and knew that there must be some unknown secret hidden in this girl.
He did not ask further questions, just shrugged and said:
"If that's the case, then it may be difficult for me to help you."
"Mr. Gillan, I I know that the mysterious field adheres to the principle of 'equivalent exchange'... If you are willing to help us privately, I can pay for it."
Fulla said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Jilan couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the girl's serious expression. This girl has entered the mysterious field for the first time, but she doesn't know where she learned these rules, which makes Gillan find it interesting.
"Oh? Tell me what your reward is."
Jilan asked jokingly.
Fulla looked around and found no one, then carefully took out a small wooden box as big as a palm from her body.
She opened it and presented it to Gillan.
Inside the wooden box, there is a rather worn piece of parchment stacked up, which looks to be old.
Jilan took it out and gently spread it out to take a look.
On the parchment, there is a short sentence written in ancient Xilu script:
"Use your body as bait and your heart as strength. Play with yourself and play with powerful enemies."
This passage seems inexplicable and unintelligible.
But Jilan’s eyes narrowed.
Two words popped into his mind:
Secret!
With this format and rhythm, it is probably a secret biography. I just don’t know which path it belongs to, which secret of the essence...
Gilan directly uses the ability of "guidance prompts".
In an instant, a flash of light flashed in his eyes:
“Secret biography (text medium).”
“The secret biography recorded by an ancient astrologer in ancient Xilu language, It seems to point to the spiral of body stars, the path of December Sichen's 'Remnant King', and the fifth-level 'doll' essence."
‘The fifth-level secret of the road to the “Crippled King”...’
Jilan was quite surprised.
‘The essence of “doll”? ! ’
He didn’t expect that the girl in front of him could obtain such a high-level secret.
And it is an extremely rare paper secret biography.
'It seems that she also has her own opportunities. '
Jilan folded the parchment back to its original shape according to the folds, put it in the wooden box, pointed at it and asked the girl:
"Do you know what this is?"
“I don’t know.” Fulla shook her head, but her expression was very serious. "But I know it must be very precious, because it is one of the relics of the great astrologer Jordan Phoebit."
"Jordan..."
Ji Lan chewed the name for a while, but had no impression.
But since he can be called a "great astrologer", he must also be a person who has lived in the body spiral for a long time, and is a legendary figure with a name in history.
The three spirals of the "Path of the Fire Sword" correspond to the three fields of astrology, alchemy and magic.
Astrologers generally follow the body spiral.
No wonder the remaining secrets belong to the path of the "Crippled King". Perhaps this is the path Jordan is taking.
"The value of your reward is indeed very high."
Gilan said frankly without deliberately deceiving the girl.
"It is a level 5 'secret'... Do you know what the 'secret' is?"
"Yes." Fulla was startled at first, then nodded quickly. "Level 5...Level 5?!"
Only then did she realize how valuable the things she had gained from exploring that mountain range were.
"Now that I have seen the specific content of the secret, I will follow the principle of 'equivalent exchange' and help you in private."
Jilan said lightly.
Hearing this, Fula looked happy.
But she heard the blond young man say:
"But before that, you must tell me what happened to you, otherwise I will not be able to prescribe the right medicine to help you solve the problem completely. This matter.”
"Mr. Gillan, I..."
Fura opened her mouth, took a deep breath at last, and continued:
"We found the two of him through a suicide note from Master Jordan. The hermitage more than a hundred years ago..."
The girl briefly told their experience.
Just two days ago, she and four of her friends set out for the Dugarte Mountains, more than 600 kilometers away from Museciti.
There, they found the ruins of a hidden cave, the deepest part of which was where Jordan Phoebe had once lived in seclusion. Most of the books and supplies inside have decayed, but there are also some relatively intact items that have been acquired by everyone.
But one of the dog skull sculptures brought unimaginable horror to the five of them.
"Then...the dog skull sculpture was assigned to Zelens, so he was the first person to suffer the curse."
Fura's face became paler as she recalled it.
“We were still in the car returning when Zelens screamed, and the bone sculpture in his arms began to ooze blood... We all heard the devil’s voice, and it first attacked Zelens. He cursed us and then forced us to sign a contract.”
As she narrated, Fulla's speaking speed became more and more rapid.
Jilan listened quietly.
Soon, he understood what was going on.
Among the relics of the great astrologer Jordan Phoebe, the dog skull sculpture is actually a collection pointing to the devil.
The strength of the devil should not be underestimated. Most of them belong to the high-level devil nobles.
But because it is far away, they can only use bone sculptures as a medium to cast spells.
“Are there any details you want to add?”
Gilan asked again.
Fula thought for a while and said with a thoughtful look on her face:
"I remember... the blood seeping from the bone sculpture formed a triangular inverted cross pattern. And that devil, It claims to be called 'Dog Uncle' Schnauzer..."
