Chapter 491 Return
Aurora and Franco were also happy when they heard the praise from the head of state.
"Although you two are not affiliated with the imperial department, as mystical persons, I am very pleased that you are willing to help the empire fight disasters."
Caesar smiled.
"Miss Aurora, you are a nun of the 'Mother Church', and I will not begrudge the rewards you deserve. Including the 'Holy Sisters' you lead, there will be rewards, and the sacrificed members will also receive They deserve a decent burial, they are also heroes..."
"Thank you, Mr. Head of State."
Aurora lowered her head and said softly.
Caesar looked at the man again.
"Mr. Franco, although your 'Recording Society' is a secret society, as far as I know, there has been no bad behavior. This time, you responded to the call and came to help, which is good."< br>
“These are what an Imperial person should do.”
Franco replied quickly.
Although the head of state did not promise anything, he understood that this was a blessing for the "recording meeting".
Because the existence of the "Recording Meeting", strictly speaking, does not comply with imperial laws and will be brutally suppressed by the committee.
This time, I gained the favor of the head of state for resisting the disaster. From now on, as long as I don’t cause big trouble, it will be equivalent to acquiescence in existence.
Originally everything was peaceful, firstly because the "recording meeting" was low-key, and secondly because of the existence of Chairman Parra.
During his tenure, Paracelsus had friendships with many secret societies and was able to balance and control the situation that was originally undercurrent.
So I turned a blind eye to the "recording meeting".
But once the chairman of the committee retires.
It’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
"Okay, you two go to the reception room and wait for a while. I have something to explain to Jilan."
Caesar chuckled.
Aurora and Franco saluted quickly and excused themselves very wisely. A female guard quickly stepped forward and respectfully led the two of them out of the courtyard.
"Gilan, you did a good job."
Caesar's red eyes were deep and there was a smile on his lips.
“I’m in a good mood after the ‘poet’ was frustrated this time. What reward do you want?”
Jilan didn't hesitate. Following the advice of his teacher Parra, he stated his needs straightforwardly:
"Führer, in this battle, I used alchemy overclocked, which caused serious loss of the 'Philosopher's Stone' in my body, so I plan to refine one again..."
"Thank you so much."
Caesar's eyes softened and he sighed.
“This request is very reasonable, but even when I led the knights on the expedition, I would not get a new set as a reward because the equipment of my subordinates was damaged.”
"I will order someone to give you double the materials you need, but this is not a reward, just compensation..."
Jilan was startled, thought for a while, and said:
< br>"Führer, I need level 6 secrets."
"Secrets, right?" Caesar put his hands behind his back and nodded. "I know that the path you are taking, although it is the Sword of the Forge, is not the path of February where the 'director' is, but a brand new path. It is reasonable to need other secrets as a reference..."
"I will give you all the 6th-level secrets of the four spiral paths of the body. How about it?"
Caesar laughed.
Hearing this, Jilan was overjoyed.
Four copies of level 6 secrets, which will be of great help to the "Banlan" deduction, and will certainly significantly reduce the number of mystery points required for the deduction!
"Thank you, head of state."
Gilan crossed his arms and saluted.
But Caesar shook his head.
"Don't be too quick to thank me. These are not enough. You continue."
"Huh?" Ji Lan was stunned.
"You have made great contributions, and the impact of your feats is far-reaching, far beyond what this reward can compare with."
Caesar spoke softly and nodded.
"Tell me."
Jilan looked at the red curly-haired young man in front of him, who seemed to be "the same age" as himself, thought for a while, and then said:
"I want money... ..."
"Money?" This time, Caesar raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Gillan to make such a demand.
“Of course it’s no problem.” He smiled and said, “Go on.”
Seeing that he could still make demands, Gilan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"Führer, I want to collect fragments of a real film called "Curtain Call"."
Hearing this, Caesar's eyes paused for a moment, and then he lowered his eyes.
A pair of red eyes were caught in endless thoughts, seeming to be reminiscing and feeling, extremely complicated.
Gilan noticed the abnormality of the head of state, but did not dare to ask questions, just bowed his head silently.
"...Okay."
Caesar spoke.
“A friend of mine happens to have a fragment in his hand, but you may need to wait a little longer.”
“Yes, Mr. Head of State.”
Gilan He saluted again, feeling happy in his heart.
Caesar smiled and nodded.
But those deep red eyes still hide thoughts that are difficult to fathom.
…
…
When leaving the Sifang Palace, Aurora and Franco still felt unreal.
They stopped for a moment on the steps in front of the gate of Sifang Palace and looked back.
“I never expected that this is the true face of the Head of State, and that he is so young...” Franco sighed in a deep voice.
Aurora nodded repeatedly and smiled.
"The Head of State is indeed as Mr. Gillan said, very approachable. Although I am still a little in awe when facing him, I am not as nervous as I imagined."
Ji Lan smiled silently.
He did not tell the two of them the true identity of Caesar's head of state. This was not distrust, but a kind of protection.
Because it involves the secret history of the "Crippled King", everything is so sensitive and dangerous. When the time is right, he will naturally inform the four members of the "Hand of Dawn".
But not now.
“Let’s go, I’ll see you off.”
Ji Lan raised his hand to indicate the key in his hand and smiled.
Aurora and Franco looked at each other and nodded.
The two of them have been staying in the capital for more than half a month. Now that Gilan has woken up, it is time for them to leave and return to their respective forces to resume their lives.
Although I am a little reluctant to leave, it is a blessing to be together.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Gillan."
Aurora lowered her little head and said softly.
Jilan took two steps closer, pushed a messy strand of hair from her forehead behind her ears with her own hands, and then put her hands on her shoulders.
"Don't be sad, there will be a day in the future when we can all be together in this world."
"Yes!" Aurora blushed and nodded heavily.
…
…
On the same day, Gilan sent his two companions to the station and waved goodbye until the train disappeared from sight.
After night fell, as soon as he drove back to his apartment on Morales Street, the old housekeeper Charles and his maids came to greet him excitedly.
It has been more than half a month since the young master left. The housekeeper and servants also learned about the terrible disaster that occurred in Cockburn City through neighbors and even newspaper broadcasts.
They knew that Ji Lan was busy with this matter and couldn't help but worry about his safety.
Of course, the empire blocked most of the relevant information, and only announced to the outside world that a cult organization carried an emerging virus developed by the federation and carried out a terrorist attack in Cockburn City.
Even some esoteric societies, and even the upper class and empire leaders, do not know the truth behind Cockburn City.
No one except Ji Lan knows about the game involving superiors and the "Spirit King"'s attempt to ascend to the gods.
Gilan was surrounded into the apartment.
He managed to comfort Old Charles with a few words without causing him any futile worries.
Life seems to be back on track again.
The next morning, Sifang Palace sent two men and women in black clothes to hand over all the rewards promised by the head of state to Ji Lan.
A large, sophisticated and sturdy alchemy black box contains dozens of large and small silver metal pots, four parchment scrolls, a stack of white cards and a stack of golden Caesars.
Gilan took a careful inventory in the alchemy room in the attic and found that the materials for refining the "Philosopher's Stone" even included a high concentration of "Sand of Evil".
This means two things.
First, the head of state knows the formula and refining method of the "Philosopher's Stone" very well.
Secondly, Jilan does not need to use the glass beads he has accumulated as materials, which greatly saves a lot of potential points.
"Caesar, the head of state, is really generous, and he has nothing to say about his own people."
Gilan said with a smile.
These materials can completely refine two "Philosopher's Stones", and there is still a surplus.
As for the white cards, there are 50 of them!
Including the 10 cards Jilan has on hand, there are 60 cards!
This is a huge amount of mysterious wealth.
If you put aside the purchase difficulty and premium, the market value alone is at least more than 60,000 Caesar!
There are also 5 stacks of "100" large denomination Caesar gold foil banknotes, which is 50,000.
It can be said that Gilan will not be short of money for a long time to come.
After careful reading of the last four sheepskin scrolls, Jilan learned the name of the sixth-level original substance of the four spiral paths of the body.
They are:
The Sword of the Body, the "Devil" of March's "Gladiator" Way.
The Holy Grail of the Body, the "perfect man" of June's "Mrs. Ya" way.
The body star coin is the "cuckoo" of the "Remnant King" in December.
The Body Scepter, the "Lord" of the "Blind General" Way in November.
Jilan spent the whole morning and half of the afternoon repeatedly pondering the secret contents on the parchment before he understood them thoroughly.
After all, level 6 is the limit of the world, and the depth of the secrets is unprecedented. In addition, the paper-based secret transmission was far less easy to understand than the oral secret transmission, so it took a little more time.
Jilan tried to "feed" them to "Bailan", and then conducted an original 6-level deduction based on the "background" secret.
"Banlan" gave the requirements for the required points:
"8000."
Originally, the "Player" level 6 was deduced out of thin air, and the required points were 20,000. Adding the "scenery" esoteric alone, the number is reduced to 12,000.
Now coupled with the four-way secret transmission of the body spiral, the number is reduced by 4000 again, and 8000 points are needed.
Gilan was not in a hurry to deduce.
He wanted to try to achieve his goal, which was to collect all the sixth-level secrets of the twelve paths, so that "Banlan" could deduce an extremely powerful essence.
This can also significantly reduce the number of points required.
For the next period of time, Gilan did not go out.
He got a month's leave, so he simply took advantage of this time to practice hard and strive to advance to level 6 as soon as possible.
At the same time, he also took the time to go to the "Chessboard Garden" and try to refine the "Philosopher's Stone" alone.
With his current alchemy skills, he made almost no mistakes and perfectly crafted a brand new "Philosopher's Stone" to replace the one in his body.
Time changes.
The end of May soon came.
