Chapter 468 Heating up
Jilan continued to sit on the swing in the courtyard of the apartment for a while before going back upstairs to his room.
He felt sticky, so he took a cold shower and changed into clean clothes.
As soon as I came out of the bathroom and wiped my wet hair, I heard a slight vibration coming from the pocket of the coat hanging on the coat rack.
‘It’s the news from the Alchemy Hotline. ’
Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.
He put down the towel, walked over, took out the hotline and connected it. With a click, Ms. Crow's mature and beautiful voice came from the microphone:
"Mr. Gillan, good night."
"Good night, ma'am."
Gilan held the hotline microphone in one hand, showing off his upper body with perfect muscle lines. I walked to the window and breathed in the cool evening breeze.
Her gradually long hair is spread around her shoulders, swaying in the wind, giving people a lazy look.
"Is it the cooperation we discussed before? Has there been any result?" he asked softly.
“Not bad.” Ms. Crow smiled. "After discussion at the 'Screen Round Table' meeting, we agreed to your proposal. From now on, you and I will exchange clues about the real film of "Curtain Call" and search for the whereabouts of its fragments together."
"Ru Ruo Min Okay, then share the usage rights.”
“That’s good news.” Jilan smiled and changed the topic: “But since it is cooperation, we must first set the rules...if the film is gathered together. , which party has priority? ”
"Well..."
Ms. Crow on the other end of the phone pondered and thought for a few seconds.
"Mr. Gillan, otherwise... to express our sincerity, we are willing to sell you the 6th-level 'set' secret, but we have priority in using it."
"We might as well Let’s talk about the price first.”
Jilan said lightly.
"You only need two 'Saar cards'."
Ms. Crow said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.
"Sal Card", also known as "White Card", is a high-level mysterious currency created by the ancient secret sect "Tiangong Dawn".
It is a high-polymer energy alchemy in itself. A mercury battery is not worthy of holding a shoe in front of it, so its value is not low, and it is only circulated on a small scale in the upper reaches of the mysterious field.
It is an exclusive item of equivalent exchange between strong people, and ordinary people have no access to it.
Although the market price of a "white card" is around 1,000 Caesars, it is often impossible to buy it even if you have the money, causing the price to be inflated, reaching at least 1,500 Caesars.
But even so, the price proposed by Ms. Crow can indeed be said to be full of sincerity.
After all, the value of a secret secret of level 6 essence is obviously much higher than two "white cards".
"Sorry, Ms. Crow."
Gillan said calmly.
"I value priority more."
"..." On the other end of the phone, the lady took a deep breath and was silent for a few seconds. "What if we only need a 'white card'?"
Her tone was extremely solemn and sincere.
"Mr. Gillan, we attach great importance to our cooperation with you, but after all, the 'Record Society' has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this film... I just hope that on the day when the remaining pieces are collected, Can be viewed first”
"Please rest assured that I will only watch it once, and I will hand it over to you for use in the future."
Hearing this, Ji Lan showed a thoughtful look.
"I can see that you are indeed very sincere."
He thought for a while and said slowly.
If it is a rotation where both parties watch the movie once, this would be acceptable. And Ms. Crow may have pushed the price of the secret "set" to the bottom line.
"If that's the case, yes."
He agreed to the other party's request.
On the other end of the phone, Ms. Crow finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you." the lady said. "Then let me convey the secret information of 'setup' to you through the hotline."
"Okay."
Gillan agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Ms. Crow brewed her emotions for a while, and then used the clearest words and words to narrate:
"The secret teaching of 'Scenery' says: Build a platform in your mind, read Polarized cloth. The bright eyes are the lamp, and the falling cloth is the curtain."
It is still a neat sixteen-meter rhyme, which contains the secret secret.
Immediately afterwards, Ms. Crow explained it to Jilan in detail to make it easier for him to understand.
"Scenery" is the spiral sword of the melting pot, the sixth-order essence of February's "director". Its most important ability can be summed up in four words, which is -
Constructing the scene.
Using real-life scenes as a reference, by borrowing the strong consciousness honed on one's own path, we constantly recall, imagine and redesign in our hearts.
When this kind of imagination accumulates and imprints over a long period of time, it will become a reality deep in the soul.
Finally, it can be embodied in reality and retained for a short time.
In the most popular terms, it means spending a lot of time and energy in advance to build a "stage" that is absolutely beneficial to oneself, and then releasing it into reality at a specific time, placing both the enemy and ourselves in this scene at the same time.
In the end, relying on the geographical advantage, they unilaterally crushed the enemy.
It can be said that if a "set designer" is fully prepared, he can rely on the "scene" he constructs to face the attacks of multiple enemies of the same level at the same time.
Not to mention victory, at least we can be invincible.
Of course, this essence is not without its weaknesses.
In fact, all physical attacks can destroy the "scene" constructed by the "scenic artist".
Once a certain threshold is exceeded, the "scene" will be completely destroyed. The "set decorator" himself will also suffer corresponding backlash, his consciousness will be damaged, and his spirituality will even regress.
About ten minutes later.
Ms. Crow told Gillan the secret of the "set" and its detailed explanation without reservation.
And Jilan also sent a "white card" to Ms. Crow's hands through the long-distance teleportation alchemy array that came with the hotline.
"I have written down the secret information. Thank you very much for your patience in telling it, Ms. Crow." Gilan put the microphone to his ear and smiled.
"Happy transaction."
"Happy transaction, sir."
Ms. Crow's tone was also quite relaxed.
Click.
The alchemy hotline hung up.
Jilan was in a very good mood.
‘In just one day, not only did my strength greatly improve, but I also got the sixth-level secret of the "director" as I wished. ’
He was leaning against the window sill, looking sideways at the night scene outside with a smile on his lips.
‘Today is the 25th, and there are only 5 days until the end of April... Although I don’t know which day the “Eclipse Society” will choose to take action, no matter what their methods are, I am not afraid anymore. ’
Jilan’s eyes were like water, deep and quiet.
This strong self-confidence stems from his current strength.
…
…
late at night.
Through the "Letter Comb", Jilan once again came to the Black Castle deep in the Dream Sea.
This visit was to deliver the second negative of Windmill Cat to Miss Torina.
After learning about Tolina’s true identity as August Sichen’s “Mourn of Sorrow”, Gilan’s mentality did not actually change much.
Even though he knew that the other party was one of the gods in this other world and represented the law of truth operating in the world, in Gillan's eyes, Miss Torina was still the helpless and lovable one. girl.
Moreover, during the last visit, Torina took the initiative to give a girl a kiss that was ignorant of love, causing Gilan's long-suppressed emotions to explode.
It can be said that the relationship between the two has become no longer as simple as "ordinary friends".
"Mr. Gillan..."
Not long after Gillan stepped onto the stairs, he heard a familiar clear female voice coming from above.
He stopped and looked up.
I saw a girl wearing a simple tan dress with a white background and a waterfall of black hair, sitting quietly in a wheelchair.
She was holding the gray rabbit plush doll given by Ji Lan, with a slight smile on her lips. He seemed to be sincerely happy for Jilan's arrival.
"Miss Tolina, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting."
Gilan took off his hat and saluted.
Immediately, he strode forward and walked to the platform at the top of the steps.
Torina was sitting alone in a wheelchair, and there was no sign of Jorah, the Black Castle butler, around her. I don’t know if he went out for something or if he was deliberately pushed away by Torina.
"Nothing presumptuous, sir."
Tolina raised her head and smiled at Gillan.
"Originally, I thought I would have to wait for a long time before you would come... I didn't expect to see your husband again so soon. I am very happy."
"This Come here this time, I have a gift for you.”
Gilan chuckled, took the initiative to go over and push the girl's wheelchair, and together they walked towards the garden deep in the castle.
His movements were very skillful, and the girl seemed to be used to it, and neither party was polite anymore.
“A gift?” Torina sat in a wheelchair, letting the young man push her behind her. There was a hint of surprise on his fair face, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't Mr. just give me a gift..."
Jilan didn't answer, just smiled and said The girl pushed her to the edge of the stone table in the garden.
Then, he silently took out a small negative and handed it to Torina.
"This is..."
The girl couldn't help but look at the film in a daze.
Soon, she was not as surprised as Jilan expected. Instead, he lowered his head slightly and said rather uneasily:
"Did Mr. Gillan take risks for me again..."
She turned her head sideways, quickly raised her hand, and grabbed Gillan's wrist.
“I can clearly feel that there is a lot of damage to Mr.’s consciousness, and even his spirituality has been stained.”
“Tolina is very sad and doesn’t want to see Mr. I was injured."
"..."
Gilan did not expect that the girl in the wheelchair would react like this. After a moment of silence, he said bluntly:
"Miss Torina, there is no need to bear any burden. This injury is nothing to me...and it's not all because of the 'Windmill Cat'."
"This negative is just It’s just one of my trophies. I thought it would be of greater help to you, so I sent it to you at Castle Black.”
Although Gilan was speaking from the bottom of his heart, it was obvious to Torina. Don't think so.
She seemed to regard Gilan's relief as an excuse not to make her feel guilty, which made her even more moved.
This also made Tolina's inner emotions become stronger again and difficult to suppress.
"Hug..." The girl raised her head, her dark eyes flashed, and she looked directly at the young man.
“Huh?” Ji Lan was startled.
“Hug!” Torina emphasized her tone, and even took the initiative to open her arms.
Jilan understood now.
He took a deep breath, then gently leaned down and held the girl in his arms.
"It's very warm, thank you."
Tolina leaned her side against the young man's chest, closed her eyes, and said softly.
