Chapter 533 Disbandment
Time has quietly come to the end of July.
During this period, the incident gradually fermented and its influence expanded. But Jilan, the person involved, did not deliberately inquire about it, and was not very interested.
He still went to and from get off work as usual.
Be a conscientious chairman.
That night, after finishing the tedious business, Gilan drove back to the apartment, intending to talk to Weiner and Aleviya.
The two of them took advantage of this leisurely time to have a good rest. Since breaking away from their respective secret societies, they have regained their freedom and no longer need to disguise themselves.
My body and mind were relieved of all burdens, both inside and out, and I lived very freely. So the two of them walked around the capital, Muse City, to experience the local culture and taste the delicious food.
"Weiner, Alevia, would you mind joining the Bremen Mysterious Investigation Committee?"
In the living room at night, while drinking tea, Gillan made suggestions to two friends.
"Of course, this is just a proposal, it's okay if you don't want to."
"Committee of Investigation?"
Weiner was stunned as he held the tea cup.
He and the woman in the white dress next to him looked at each other and saw the surprised expression on the other's face.
"Mr. Guillen, are you planning to make us members of the committee?"
"Yeah." Jilan put down the teacup and nodded. "You two are quite capable. You have also served as high-level officials in the three major secret societies. You have a good understanding of the mysterious field. If you become a member of the committee, you will have a unique advantage."
He paused briefly, raised his eyes again, looked at the two friends opposite the coffee table, and said:
"In today's world, headed by the three major overlords, the two countries of Austria and Austria are at war, and the situation is not clear... You are now long-term beings with extraordinary lifespans, and you will have more opportunities to come into contact with higher-level things in the future."< br>
"As the highest body of the Bremen Empire on the mysterious side, the committee is a good choice."
Hearing this, Aleviya suddenly laughed and said:
"The more important reason is because you, Jilan, are the chairman of the committee! Arranging for us to join the committee is just a matter of words!"
"That's right."
Gilan did not deny it and smiled.
"However, even if you don't choose to join the committee, but plan to go to any mysterious force in Bremen, I can still handle it with just one sentence... It all depends on your own wishes."
Listening to this domineering speech, Weiner and Aleviya couldn't help but sigh.
The "Red Sage" is now in the empire. It can be said that he stands at the top of the dual pyramid of reality and mystery. His words can make any mysterious force tremble.
"Since you said so, Jilan, of course I will not refuse."
Alevia smoothed her hair and said with a smile.
Immediately, she put her chin on her hand and joked:
"However, we are also long-term people after all. You won't arrange for us to start from the grassroots level, right?"
"Of course not."
Gillan laughed.
"Committee members are generally level 2 mystics, and the team leader is a senior level 3... As Kuze people, you can definitely serve as the leader of the special operations team."
"That's great."
Alivia chuckled.
Weiner, a bald man on the side, also said cheerfully:
"This can be regarded as the return of our undercover agents, and they have been gloriously promoted... Before, I never thought that I could become the head of the committee's special operations team."
"It's just a pity that Mr. Franco and Miss Aurora are not here, otherwise our small team would be together again."
"Yes." Aleviya looked at her fondly. "I haven't seen the two of them in real life for a long time."
Hearing the two people talking about this matter, Gilan couldn't help but look thoughtful.
At the beginning, he proposed that the members of the "Hand of Dawn" should be dispersed and develop independently, helping each other and watching over each other when needed.
But now, the significance of this plan seems to be less important. After all, each has a certain level of strength, and Jilan is at the pinnacle of the world.
Franco is currently a senior member of the "Recording Society", but the purpose of this secret society is to explore the secrets of "director" Yue Sichen through real film.
Ms. Crow and other senior officials of the "Screening Round Table" did not know the truth that the "director" had died.
'It's time to tell them about it...'
Gillan thought.
Whether it was his friendship with Ms. Crow or the collaboration on the "Curtain Call" remnant, he felt that he needed to tell the secret history of the "director's" death.
Otherwise, the "recording meeting" will be in vain.
As for the future of the "recording meeting" after learning the truth about this matter, Gillan doesn't know, and there is no need to know.
"I will contact Franco and Aurora tomorrow to ask for their opinions."
Ji Lan retracted his thoughts and said to the two of them.
"If they also agree to join the committee, then the 'Hand of Dawn' will be considered to have gathered together in reality."
"In this case, great!"
Aleviya and Weiner were very happy.
…
…
The next day, Gillan took the two of them to the Triumph Building to arrange for them to join the company.
The process was smooth.
After all, the chairman of the committee holds the power to appoint and remove personnel, and it is indeed just a matter of words. After giving simple instructions to Maiev, she arranged all the procedures.
However, a small episode occurred during this process.
That was Alevia's temporary change of heart. She was not planning to take up the position of head of the special operations team, but planned to become the chairman's personal secretary.
This incident immediately aroused dissatisfaction with Miss Maiev.
However, the role of secretary to the chairman is not something that can be done casually. He needs to be familiar with all matters of the committee and have sufficient experience.
Obviously, Aleviya does not have it.
Although she was stronger than Miss Maiev, the final result was that she unfortunately "lost the election" and had no choice but to accept the original arrangement with a proud face.
After arranging Weiner and Aleviya, Gillan asked Maiev to familiarize them with the environment and duties, and then returned to the office.
He made a cup of hot coffee, sat on the leather chair, and directly called "Ms. Crow" the alchemy hotline.
After a pleasant sound of wind chimes passed.
Click.
"Hello, Mr. Gillan?"
A familiar female voice came from over there, with a somewhat uncertain tone.
Jilan held the microphone and said with a smile:
"It's me."
"Is there anything important, Mr. Gillan?"
Ms. Crow sounded quite surprised.
In her opinion, the "Red Sage" just made a big fuss in the Federation not long ago, so he should be very busy now.
But I didn't expect to call the hotline for myself.
"That's right." Gillan said. "Ms. Crow, regarding the previous real film "Curtain Call # Part 2", unfortunately, I destroyed it."
"This..."
Ms. Crow was shocked, but didn't know what to say.
Blame him?
Let’s not say that Ms. Crow doesn’t have the guts. Furthermore, this film is a collaboration between the two parties, and the other party also has certain rights to dispose of it.
Ms. Crow just feels deeply sorry.
At this time, Jilan said again:
"I'm very sorry, Ms. Crow. I will give you a satisfactory compensation for your 'recording meeting'. In addition, I have finished watching this video and can inform you of some of its contents."
"Huh?" After hearing this, Ms. Crow was quite surprised. "If that's the case, that would be great."
Immediately afterwards, Gillan used the teleportation alchemy array attached to the hotline to send a total of 10,000 gold Caesars.
Ms. Crow was very surprised by this. "Is it too much, Mr. Gillan?"
"This film deserves so much."
Gillan sighed.
"I can't reveal too much about the content of the film, because it involves Si Sui and some dangerous secrets. It would be harmful and useless for you to know too much... I can only say that the 'director' Si Chen in February has actually fallen. ”
“‘Director’ has fallen?!”
Ms. Crow's voice rose, appearing in disbelief.
"Yeah." Jilan said solemnly. "On the midsummer night of 1916, He was jointly assassinated by three art ministers, 'Miss Elegy', 'Mrs. Ya' and 'White Dove Poet'."
"That murder was called the 'Night of Exposure' because since then, real film reels have appeared around the world. This is the truth about the secret history... and "Curtain Call" is the film that the 'director' created for himself. The filmed autobiography summarizes his life.”
"..."
There was silence on the other end of the hotline for a long time.
Ms. Crow took a deep breath and said in a daze:
"No wonder...no wonder the Bremen Empire issued an 'Art Decree' eleven years ago, banning the dissemination of films and videos, and closing major theaters. And our 'Record Society' was founded in that year. ”
"I just didn't expect that the great 'director' was dead and was killed by the three major art directors!"
Ms. Crow's tone was quite disappointed.
Even a little frustrated.
Because most of the members of the "Recording Club" are taking the path of the "Spiral of Swords" and "directors" in February.
They are all believers in "directing".
But now I know that the supreme god in my heart has long since fallen, and the sadness can be imagined.
"Thank you for sharing this secret history. It is very important to us, very important!"
Ms. Crow took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
"You're welcome." Gillan said. "Well, Ms. Crow, I want to acquire the fragment of 'No. 2' that your 'Recording Society' has, what do you think?"
"Allow me to inform the Screening Roundtable and I will give you a reply after discussion, okay?"
Ms. Crow said in a low tone.
"In fact, after experiencing the tragic loss of the last movie viewing, the secret society also came to the conclusion that that film was not something we could explore at all... So Mr. Gillan wanted the remaining fragment of 'No. 2', There should be no problem.”
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After Gilan finished speaking, he hung up the hotline.
…
…
The reply from the record meeting was very quick.
That evening, while Gilan was sitting in the office annotating documents, the metal microphone on the table vibrated and lit up with a golden alchemical array.
He raised his hand to pick up the hotline and answer it.
"Hey, Mr. Gillan, the meeting passed... We agree to transfer the 'No. 2' fragment to you, but the price may be a bit expensive."
Ms. Crow said straight to the point.
Her tone was rather uneasy, as if she was worried about offending Gilan.
Ever since Gillan became the Chairman of the Imperial Council, especially since he went to the Federation alone some time ago and caused the "Grand Opera House Terrorist Attack" that shocked the world, Ms. Crow understood that the status of the two sides was no longer equal.
Their "recording meeting" seems to be a weak party. They cannot easily offend the "Red Sage" and can only please them respectfully.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gillan, we are not raising prices on the ground, but because... we plan to disband the 'Recording Society' and need a large amount of money to accommodate members."
Ms. Crow quickly explained.
Gillan was a little surprised.
"The 'recording meeting' will be disbanded?"
"Yeah." Ms. Crow said. "After learning the fact that the 'director' was dead, the atmosphere within the secret society fell into a low ebb. Everyone seemed to have lost their faith and continued to explore the meaning of the film..."
"And there is another important reason. That is that a few days ago, we suddenly discovered that all the real films had expired, and we could no longer watch the movie."
"There is such a thing?!"
Ji Lan was quite surprised.
"Yes, for some unknown reason, all the real films we collected were scrapped by an invisible force, making it impossible to watch movies..."
Ms. Crow said solemnly.
Ji Lan thought about it and suddenly realized that this was probably his fault.
After he watched "Curtain Call #Part 2", in February, the "chief photographer" Ms. Clos Melanie personally visited him and had a showdown with him, telling him what the "director" had arranged. hand.
Those real films were actually a tool left by the "director" for him to use for rapid growth.
Now, it is obviously no longer needed.
Therefore, the "recording assistant" Hera and the "queen actor" Mr. A who were in the film would naturally destroy the real film.
After thinking about all this, Jilan let out a sigh of relief.
He was silent for a few seconds and asked:
"Ms. Crow, what price do you plan to offer for the fragment of 'No. 2'?"
"How about 8,000 Caesar?"
On the other end of the phone, Ms. Crow said cautiously.
"If you think it's too expensive, you can make it cheaper. After all, we don't know if the fragments are the same as other real films... maybe even if they are all together, they won't be able to watch the movie normally."
"It's okay, let's go with 10,000 Caesars. The compensation I'll give you is the same amount."
Gillan Road.
This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for his "recording meeting", but there is no need to elaborate on it with Ms. Crow.
Moreover, he believes that "Curtain Call" will not be invalid because he has not watched the first part, and it contains secrets left to him by the "director".
Ms. Crow was surprised by Jilan's words.
Instead of lowering prices, they actually raised them.
She took a deep breath and said gratefully:
"Praise for your generosity, Mr. Gillan. On behalf of all the members of the 'Recording Committee', I would like to express my gratitude to you... Then, I will pass the fragment over."
Immediately afterwards, the two parties once again conducted transactions through the alchemy array.
Gillan sent over the 10,000 gold Caesar note, and he got the fragment of "No. 2".
"A pleasant transaction, Mr. Gillan."
Ms. Crow breathed a sigh of relief and said in relief.
"However, this should also be my last transaction with you on behalf of the 'Recording Conference'... From now on, I may only have the identity of a member of 'Ye Mei'."
“Happy transaction.”
Gillan laughed.
"Even if the 'Recording Meeting' is disbanded, it will not affect the friendship between you and me, Ms. Crow... When I was still weak, you helped me a lot, and I will keep it in my heart."
"That's what I'm thankful for, Mr. Gillan."
Ms. Crow smiled.
The two chatted for a few more words.
Gilland Road:
"By the way, Ms. Crow, please tell Mr. Franco for me that when he is free, he will come directly to the capital city of Muse City. There is an old friend who wants to see him."
"Okay, of course no problem."
Lady Crow responded.
