Chapter 478 Moran
Gilan did not let go of the mysterious energy contained in the bodies of these cultists. He shuttled through the bloody square and patiently corrupted all the corpses into points.
Not long after, the mysterious points on the panel showed:
“4567.”
Ding!
At this time, a prompt sound came from "Golden Sigh".
“Mission completed: rescue.”
“Select reward: slight improvement in gnosis, spirituality, and physical body (choose one of three).”
‘Physical body. ’
Jilan secretly thought.
His whole body began to feel slightly warm, but the heat did not stay for long and soon disappeared again.
‘Probably only improved by less than half a percent...’
He was a little disappointed.
But when I saw on the panel that the three-dimensional attributes of my body had increased by 1 point, I felt that I was being greedy.
This improvement is actually not small!
The corners of Jilan's mouth curled up.
He looked up at the sky.
The battle just now started and ended quickly, but the momentum caused by the machine cannon was not small, attracting many devils.
At this time, forty or fifty red-skinned devils were hovering in the sky above the square, each with a fierce look in their eyes and a sinister smile.
These demons flap their bat wings and communicate in tiny whispers. Sometimes he looked at Gilan, sometimes at the cathedral, as if he was ready to make a move.
Ji Lan was not used to these bastards, so he called out his cane and shook it gently.
Dingle bell!
“Come here, everyone!” He sneered.
The devils suddenly screamed and struggled continuously, but still under the influence of the terrifying ringtone, they were dragged into Jilan's spiritual kingdom one after another.
It won’t take a while.
In Jilan's pocket, there was a large handful of glass beads.
He counted all the "marbles" he had accumulated on his body, and found that there were nearly 200 of them, among which there was one particularly gorgeous one, which came from the "Dog Uncle" Schnauzer.
Gilan stored them all in the "ether bubble", which is the crystal ball.
In the palm-sized crystal ball, light spots formed by marbles suddenly floated. Shake it gently and it will be dazzling.
“Now I understand somewhat why Teacher Parra likes to disassemble and reconstruct enemies into miniature collections.”
Gilan looked at the crystal ball in his hand and murmured.
…
…
East End of Cockburn.
On the messy and silent streets, not a single human figure could be seen, only the red-skinned devil passing by from time to time, accompanied by sharp laughter.
After a while, a thin man carrying a travel bag cautiously looked out of the alley to make sure there was no devil nearby, and then he quickly jumped out.
He moved quickly and ran across the street with his body bent.
Soon, the man stopped in front of an inconspicuous small bookstore on the roadside, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
This bookstore has a signboard with red background and gold pattern, which reads "Molan Bookstore" in gorgeous fonts.
Tuk Tuk, Tuk Tuk, Tuk Tuk.
The rhythm of two short, one long, and two short again is like some kind of agreed upon code.
After a few seconds, the wooden wooden glass door of the bookstore opened a palm-long gap from the inside to the outside. There was no sound during the whole process because the bell above the threshold had been removed in advance.
"Come in quickly." Inside the door, a mature woman with short golden ear-length hair urged.
The man glanced left and right, then ducked in.
Entering the bookstore, the lights on the wall were not turned on, only a kerosene lamp lit on the table emitted dim orange light.
But it was also necessary to avoid attracting the attention of the devil.
A few bookshelves near the door were moved elsewhere, freeing up a medium-sized area, and a carpet was randomly laid on the floor.
In addition to the female shopkeeper who opened the door, there were two men and two women sitting on the carpet. One of them was a young couple, hugging each other, and the other was an older, middle-aged woman, smoking a cigarette. , frowning.
There was also an old man who was meditating with his eyes closed. Even when the man came in, he never looked at him.
Click.
The bookstore door was carefully closed.
The female shopkeeper led the man with the backpack back, handed him a glass of water, and asked:
"Mr. Rangel, did you find anything when you went out this time?"
< br>The man took the water glass and took a swig.
Gulu……
He took a long breath, looked at everyone, but shook his head:
"The situation is not good. The roads leading to other neighborhoods are basically blocked, not to mention the train station and the port. They are all full of corpses. , the devils gather, going there is basically going to die."
"Huh?" the young woman among the couple exclaimed. "The train station and port are paralyzed, so how do we escape from Cockburn... If we go directly through the city and leave from the suburbs, we will definitely be discovered by the devil outside along the way, and there is no way to escape!"
< br>"Don't worry, Amy."
Her boyfriend hugged her and comforted her in a deep voice.
"Store manager Moran is a level 4 long-time practitioner. Mr. Rangel, Ms. Brando and Mr. Ugo are also level 3 spiritual mystics. Plus the two of us who are level 2, it shouldn't be a problem to stay in the bookstore temporarily. ”
Her boyfriend’s name is Bogado. He is a tall and sturdy man with strong muscles.
Bogado's words somewhat calmed the woman's mood, and she bit her lip and nodded.
“This is not the way to go.”
The store manager with short blond hair named Moran said.
"Food and water are not a problem. We take turns going out and can find some supplies nearby... But the number of devils is increasing and they will find this place sooner or later."
"Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. .”
“Manager Moran, do you have any plans?”
The smoking middle-aged woman exhaled a puff of smoke and raised her head.
Molan thought for a while.
"Let's hold on for a while and see if the empire will send a rescue... If nothing can be done, we can set off together to the Atonement Church in the next block."
"Presumably they will not refuse our joining, After all, with more strength comes more protection."
After hearing this, everyone felt depressed.
"This is the only way..."
But at this moment. There were bursts of devilish screams outside the bookstore.
There is also a faint crisp sound unique to bells.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone in the bookstore was shocked.
Molan and Rangel rushed to the window first, opened a gap in the curtains, and peeked out.
Both of them were startled.
I saw a team of more than a dozen people walking from one end of the road. This group of people didn't hide anything and just walked through the road unscrupulously.
The leader, a young man in a suit and leather shoes, held a black cane with a pair of bells attached to the handle. As he rang the bell, all the demons hovering in the air screamed and were sucked in until they disappeared.
“Who are they?!”
The couple, the middle-aged woman and the old man also came over.
Shopkeeper Moran's eyes passed over the group of people, and finally fell on the young man who led them.
"They are all level 3 mystics, and there is also a level 4 long-term practitioner... The young man in the lead is very strong, very strong!"
She said in surprise.
Soon, the shop owner’s beautiful eyes condensed again.
“Wait, that’s Mr. Guillan Iros, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Reich?!”
"Gilan Ilos..."
Rangel was stunned, as if he remembered something, his mouth gradually opened wide.
“The Crazy King?!”
The rest of the people were shocked.
They may not have heard of "Crazy King", but they know the name "Gilan".
The famous foreign minister of the empire is also a high-ranking member of the mysterious investigation committee, a real big shot!
“We are saved!”
Among the couple, the young woman named Amy looked happy.
She was about to open the door, but was immediately pulled back by her boyfriend and store manager Moran.
"Amy, what are you doing?!"
Her boyfriend Bogado's face changed slightly and he asked eagerly.
Amy was a little innocent and said:
“Since it is Foreign Minister Gilan Iros, he will not leave us alone, right?”
“But Don’t forget, we are all mysterious people who can’t see the light..."
A trace of worry flashed in Store Manager Moran’s eyes.
"You also know the empire's attitude towards the mysterious man, not to mention that he is a high-ranking member of the Investigation Committee. If he discovers us, who can guarantee that we will be saved safely or be captured and imprisoned in the committee's prison?"
Just finished speaking.
The ringing of the bell outside the door suddenly stopped.
No one dared to speak anymore, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Next second.
Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the bookstore door!
Everyone’s heartbeats stopped.
After the scene was quiet for a few seconds, a young man's plain voice came from outside the door:
"My dear, Gilan Iros, I have no ill intentions towards everyone in the bookstore."
< br>
Everyone looked at each other.
Molan knew that it would not help even if he did not open the door, because the other party had obviously discovered them.
She took a deep breath and put her hand on the doorknob.
Click.
The door of the bookstore opened slowly.
Everyone looked nervously when they saw the upright young man with purple eyes standing at the door.
Gilan glanced at them, stamped his cane on the ground, took off his hat and nodded:
"I think you should be the lone mysterious person who failed to escape from Cockburn in time."
"Yes, Mr. Gillan."
Molan cast an awe-inspiring look and said solemnly.
Ji Lan looked at the female shopkeeper, with a hint of surprise and doubt in her eyes.
Because the other person looks exactly the same as the "Ms. Moran" I have seen before, but has a completely different spirituality.
They are not the same person.
Based on the name of this bookstore, Gillan had a guess. So, he couldn't help but ask:
"I don't know this lady's name?"
"Sir, my name is Moran Yazi, and I am the owner of this bookstore."
The woman with short blond hair answered honestly.
Hearing this, Jilan raised his eyebrows.
"There is also a 'Moran Bookstore' in Muse City, the capital. The shop owner there is named Moran Cecilia. What is your relationship?"
"That's me ”
Moran was also surprised.
She seemed to be aware of Gilan's doubts, so she explained in a low voice:
"There are nine sisters in our family, and we have opened bookstores all over the empire... However, we The last name and first name were exchanged, so everyone was called 'Molan'."
"That's it."
Jilan realized this.
When he first met Cecilia Moran, his strength was still weak and he failed to discover the identity of the mysterious person.
But now, he saw through Yaz Moran's strength at a glance.
The spiral of the furnace scepter, the way of the "Snow Lady" in September, the 4th level "Judge".
Nine mystical sisters opened a bookstore in the empire with the common name "Molan"...
Gilan had new doubts about this and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you related to the 'Ningli Bookstore'?"
