Chapter 524 The Battle
Jacobin Opera House.
This is a landmark building in the capital and a performing arts center famous throughout the Owena Commonwealth.
It is a wonder known to all countries in the world.
The construction of this building started in 1886 AD and was not officially put into use until 1900, which lasted 14 years. According to rumors, a huge amount of manpower and material resources were invested in this building, and the designer is an extremely mysterious master in the field of architectural sculpture.
After the theater was completed, the man disappeared.
But Gillan knew clearly that this mysterious designer was the earthly alter ego of Anthony Rotti, the apostle of June.
The information came from the top secrets of the Imperial Council. He was only able to read such secrets after he became the chairman of the committee.
The Jacobin Grand Opera House covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, equivalent to one-third of the "Square Palace".
It has a 3,000-seat concert hall, a 2,000-seat opera house and two 400-seat small theaters, as well as about 1,000 large and small rooms such as exhibition halls, recording studios, bars, restaurants and dance halls. .
It can be called a castle integrating art and entertainment.
The exterior wall of the theater is smooth and white, with pink patterns. The shape is also very avant-garde, extremely innovative and artistic. Its top is staggered with two nested structures of arc-shaped ceilings, which look like rising waves. However, when viewed from the front, it looks like two swans crossing their necks expressing love.
At this moment.
There are dense crowds of people outside the Grand Opera House. There are local celebrities in the capital and wealthy people traveling from other places. They are dressed up and ready to enter the Grand Opera House to enjoy concerts, operas, dances, or other entertainment. project.
The extremely luxurious decoration spreads from the theater to the outside. The colorful lights bloom and twinkle, especially eye-catching at night, and can be seen from miles away.
Gilan wore a scarlet turtleneck trench coat, paired with a white shirt and a royal blue suit vest. He walked through the crowd carrying a white cane, but he was inconspicuous.
Because the clothes of the people around him were far more exaggerated and weird than his, this was the aesthetic atmosphere of the Owena Federation, known as the "Art Country".
His outfit was also made casually when he left the bar stronghold. But the purpose is not to blend in with the crowd, it's just a matter of spontaneity.
Gilan felt that since he came to the Federation to hunt in the name of the "Red Sage", he might as well dress in scarlet to suit the occasion.
He mixed in the queue, spent 5 gold knives (equivalent to the purchasing power of 10 Caesars in the Bremen Empire) at the ticket office at the entrance to buy a ticket, and then walked into the Grand Opera House.
As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a spacious hall that is magnificent and magnificent.
The shiny white patterned tiles reflect the twinkling chandeliers, sparkling and extremely luxurious.
From the moment he walked into the hall, Gillan had already used his gnosis and spiritual vision to search for the location of the members of the "Chorus".
However, what surprised him was that there were many mysterious people hidden among the thousands of people in the Grand Opera House.
Most of these guys are in the 1st and 2nd level, and a few are in the 3rd level mystic stage. They are not members of the "Chorus", but more like lone mystics.
Gilan secretly lamented that the mysterious atmosphere in the Federation was far stronger than that in the Empire. In the capital Jacobin, although mysterious people could not be seen everywhere, they were not rare either.
At this time, Gilan suddenly stopped.
Because of his gnosis, he captured the mysterious magnetic field emitted by the higher-order spiritual kingdom.
There are quite a few of these high-level mystics and they are gathering together.
‘I found you. ’
Ji Lan secretly thought, his eyes indifferent.
'In the innermost concert hall...'
After he found his target, he turned around and walked straight towards the aisle on the right.
But at this moment.
The crowd in front made bursts of uproar, accompanied by violent noises.
Ji Lan could vaguely see several colorful ladies in exaggerated clothes and makeup, wearing high-collared flared tutu skirts, quarreling with others.
Soon, another group of federal soldiers wearing tan military uniforms appeared. They were armed with live ammunition and drove away the crowd forcefully.
Along with the sizzling sound of electricity, a broadcast sounded throughout the opera house. It was a sweet female voice:
"Dear distinguished guests, here is an emergency announcement. According to the order of superiors, due to the song The concert hall, opera hall and many other facilities of the theater require urgent maintenance and repairs, so they are temporarily closed tonight.”
”Dignitaries are also requested to leave the venue in an orderly manner. Tickets and purchases can be made with the original ticket at the exit. The amount will be refunded... The Jacobin Grand Opera House expresses its sincerest apologies.”
"Huh?!"
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly close and stop opening?!"
"Hey! Call your person in charge to come out!"
"What? Will there be an army here?”
“Something must have happened, let’s go!”
The radio started to loop again, and the gentlemen and ladies in the crowd were making noisy noises, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the Grand Opera House's actions.
However, due to the appearance of the army and their forced eviction, many people realized that things were not that simple, so they left quickly, not wanting to stay in the opera house for a moment longer.
The crowd in costumes began to walk back.
But Jilan had no intention of stopping. He carried his cane, crossed with the crowd, and continued walking in with a calm expression.
'It seems... the top federal officials have finally come to their senses and know that after I have eliminated the "White Dove Tower" and the "Ascetic Sect", my next target will be the "Chorus", so Then they sent armed forces to surround the Jacobin Opera House. ’
Gillan guessed that a large number of people might have been ambushed outside the Grand Opera House at this time.
The Federation's high-end combat power must also be on its way, and has even arrived at the Grand Opera House, waiting for him to surrender.
His current situation is like that of his former teacher Parra, who was heavily besieged by the federation.
Kejilan didn't care.
If he wants to leave, no one can keep him.
And Gilan's goal is very clear, it is the secret society "Chorus" and the high-end federal combat power that comes to support.
How can we leave easily without a quick kill?
"Heh..."
Jilan chuckled lightly.
His behavior of walking in alone with a cane quickly attracted the attention of the crowd and the army.
Obviously the radio was still playing the "Closing and Retreating" notice in a loop, and the army was strictly guarding the front, but this purple-eyed young man still walked inside, and it was difficult not to attract attention.
"Sir, please go back."
A federal second lieutenant officer leading the team said coldly.
He raised his hand to signal with an indifferent expression.
“The Grand Opera House is under control and no one is allowed to enter.”
"..."
However, Jilan didn't even look at him.
It was as if this officer was the air.
His leisurely posture and movements remained the same, and he walked towards the army with his cane in hand.
“Sir, I’m warning you again!”
The second lieutenant frowned and stopped.
“If you continue to dissuade and continue to force your way in, we will use force to forcibly arrest you!”
Whoops!
The soldiers around the second lieutenant took a step forward with guns in hand, forming a human wall to block Gilan's front.
The officer's serious shouting echoed in the corridor, and many gentlemen and ladies stopped and looked at him with interest as if they were watching the fun.
However, no one saw that a palm-sized enchanting figure flew out from the young man's fingers.
“Get out of the way, everyone! Don’t block the master’s way!” Weiwei flew on Jilan’s shoulder, akimbo, scolding.
In a flash.
Dozens of soldiers, including the second lieutenant, suddenly looked confused, and immediately moved out of the way.
Jilan's expression remained unchanged and he silently crossed the army.
This strange scene immediately made the gentlemen and ladies stunned, wondering what happened.
On the contrary, several mysterious people hidden in the crowd saw the existence of the little familiar through their spiritual vision, showing surprise.
These people looked at each other and quietly left the crowd. After Gilan left, he also passed through the military blockade and entered the Grand Opera House.
Either they thought it was profitable, or they were curious, each with different motives, and planned to follow the purple-eyed young man to find out.
Several people entered another hall inside, which was originally a place for checking tickets, consulting, and selling snacks and drinks, but it was empty at the moment.
But soon, they discovered that several scattered waves of mysterious people had slipped in past the army's blockade.
These groups of people looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to talk to each other. Instead, they found the location of the concert hall and walked in one after another.
As soon as they entered, they were all stunned.
Because in the spacious but dark concert hall, a spotlight was shining on the huge stage. Thirty or forty men and women wearing white robes and silver-plated masks stood on the stage.
At the front, there was a tall, one-armed man wearing a military uniform and a high-collar windbreaker. The man had a cross sword studded with gems slung across his waist, and he faced the purple-eyed young man holding a white staff in front of the audience with an expressionless face.
"Ordinary soldiers really don't have a good way to deal with the mysterious person, allowing so many little bugs to sneak in."
The one-armed man on the stage spoke slowly.
He glanced at the dozen or so mysterious people standing at the door, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Ji Lan in the audience.
“After we deal with you, we’ll deal with these guys.”
After being glanced at by Hellman, the dozen or so mysterious people who quietly slipped into the theater felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave and felt chills all over.
They did not know the one-armed man on the stage, nor had they seen the purple-eyed young man below the stage, but at this moment, they all realized that they seemed to have broken into a place they shouldn't be.
Just when these people secretly thought something was wrong and were about to turn around and leave. They all froze again and did not dare to move.
Because the door behind him was closed at some point, and there were two more men and women wearing robes and masks.
This pair of men and women exuded a powerful aura that only existed for a long time, which frightened more than a dozen lone mysterious people.
The escape route is blocked and there is no way to escape!
Fortunately, the two senior executives of the "Chorus" did not take action against them. They only used their aura to intimidate them, and then looked at the purple-eyed young man in the audience.
"Herman, are you going to protect this group of 'Chorus' members?"
Gilan held his white cane, looked at the masked men and women behind the one-armed man, and said calmly.
“Asylum?” Hellman shook his head and said, “You seem to have made a mistake, student of Pala.”
"I'm not protecting the 'Chorus', I'm just here to hunt you, the new chairman of the empire."
"It seems that the death of your teacher has had a great impact on you, and you even risked it Are you going to come to the Federation to avenge him? Or even take a name similar to his, 'Red Sage'?"
"Oh, although I admire your behavior, I have to. "This is an extremely stupid thing to do, because you will definitely die, and after tonight, the empire will lose another high-end combat force with unlimited potential."
Hearing this, Ji Lan was in no mood. waves.
He said lightly:
"I will clean up all the people and forces that participated in the encirclement and suppression of the teacher one by one, including the 'Chorus'. And you, 'Colonel Blood' Hellman."
"Although, this is just It is a body you left behind in this world, but if it is destroyed, it will be considered as a physical injury, and it will make you feel pain, right?” Acting arrogantly and arrogantly... that's right, only that guy Parra can teach a student like you."
Heilman laughed.
He slowly put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"I remember he said before he died that you, this outstanding student, would make the Owena Federation frightened and in awe?"
"Then, let me see what you are capable of!"
After saying that, only a clanging sound was heard.
Heilmann had already drawn his sword and slashed at Jilan who was in the audience.
Oops! !
This sword struck out a bloody sword light that was several meters long.
And Jilan held the stick in his left hand and flicked it with his right hand.
In his right hand, a simple knight's sword appeared out of thin air. He swung out a bright silver sword and struck Hellman in the air.
Dang! !
The terrifying shock wave blew away the surrounding high-end leather seats, and the alloy frame and screws of the base were all pulled out and scattered in all directions.
The loud banging of ping-pong continued one after another.
"Huh?" Hellman recognized the sword in Gillan's hand, but he laughed. "Isn't that my former sword? It was also given to you by William? Are you planning to take over my position as Knight Commander?"
"But are you qualified?"
He said, and three sword strikes came in succession.
Miscellaneous! !
The intertwined curtains of bloody swords were crushing towards Jilan.
Jilan's expression was calm, and he still waved the knight's sword in his right hand, attacking with the silver sword light.
The deafening rumbling sound echoed endlessly in the concert hall, directly making the dozen or so mysterious people watching the battle standing at the door dozens of meters away turned pale and felt sick and dizzy.
“Ah!”
Someone covered his ears and fell to his knees, coughing up blood from his mouth.
"Just the aftermath of the fight has left me injured. The spiritual kingdom is trembling and about to collapse... We can't go on like this! We can't stay here any longer! Otherwise, I will definitely die!"
The rest of the people are waiting. With a look of pain on his face, he endured the pain and begged for mercy from the two senior executives of the "Chorus" guarding the door.
However, the masked man and woman were indifferent to their pleas and still stared at the fight between the two strong men in the field.
Boom boom boom! !
Heilman and Gillan were on and off the stage separated from each other, and they exchanged dozens of sword moves, but both sides were unscathed.
At this time, Gillan spoke lightly:
"Herman, stop playing these little tricks. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't act serious, you will have no chance."
< br>"Arrogant enough."
Heilmann grinned.
He immediately grabbed the hilt of the jeweled cross sword, jumped off the stage, and struck Jilan head-on with the sword. The squeaking windbreaker drove the blood mist like waves, and the momentum was terrifying.
Boom! !
Seeing this, Jilan still held the knight's sword in one hand and raised his head to attack fearlessly.
At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart:
‘Attribute reconstruction. ’
On the own panel, 10 points of agility and endurance were removed one after another, and 20 points of attributes were added, which was temporarily increased to strength at this moment.
when! ! !
The moment the two swords clashed, there was a loud noise, and dazzling sparks shone like rays of light, illuminating the entire concert hall.
And Hellman suddenly changed his expression.
