Chapter 536 Negotiation
Two days later.
Bremen Empire, Triumphal Building.
Da da da...
The high heels collided with the smooth and polished floor, making a crisp sound that echoed in the silent corridor.
Wearing a black and gray uniform, the pretty lady with short hair walked out of the elevator and went straight to the committee archives at the end of the corridor.
Alevia tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her favorite silver cross earrings.
The sparkling earrings, paired with her tender ears, white cheeks, and slender neck, are like the finishing touch, highlighting her mature charm and unique temperament.
Because she had just become the head of the special operations team, Aleviya needed to know more about the mysterious side of the empire, so she planned to come to the archives to read it.
Today she also made an appointment with Aurora and three others, so as soon as she walked into the file room, she saw them gathered in front of a metal filing cabinet, discussing something in a low voice.
"Miss Alivia, you are here."
At this time, Aurora, who had also changed into uniform, turned around and smiled.
"Come and take a look at this."
"What?" Alivia was a little curious and quickly came over. "Did you find anything interesting?"
"Another big event happened in the Federation!"
Weiner handed a file to Aleviya and said in a deep voice.
"Since the last time the Federal General Assembly was massacred by the 'White Sage', the twelve families and representatives of all walks of life have been in commotion for a long time. They hurriedly elected new members within a month, but they were attacked again two days ago. Attack!”
Alevia raised her pretty eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were surprised. She took the file and browsed it carefully, her red lips slightly opened.
This file is the latest information collected and compiled by the committee. It clearly records the "New Auditorium Thunderstorm Incident" that occurred in Jacobin, the federal capital of Owena.
The four new chairpersons, plus more than a hundred new second-seat members, as well as hundreds of military security guards and occultists present, were all destroyed in a thunderstorm.
The characteristics of the thunderstorm were clearly stated in the intelligence, marked in scarlet font.
Such as:
"Swirling clouds", "sudden arrival", "silver thunder", "material decomposition" and so on.
These keywords immediately reminded Alivia of a person.
In other words, in today's world, only this person can do this.
That is the Chairman of the General Assembly, "Red Sage" Gilan Iros!
Alivia raised her eyes and looked at the three friends, and found that they all had expressions of understanding on their faces.
Everyone thought of this.
"No need to guess, this must be Mr. Gillan's doing..."
Franco said calmly.
Alevia's beautiful eyes were dancing, and she said with a smile:
"If this continues, he will drive the federation crazy, haha..."
"Mr. Gillan attacks the Federation so frequently, isn't there any danger?"
Aurora said worriedly.
However, the two men, Weiner and Franco, looked at each other, and the latter shook his head and explained:
"Don't worry, Miss Aurora. Mr. Gillan's strength has already reached an unpredictable level. I'm afraid no one in the world can threaten him... As for higher-level enemies, we don't need to worry. I'm afraid that Head of State Caesar may We have already made arrangements.”
In fact, just yesterday, during the lunch break, Gillan informed them of Caesar's true identity and asked them to keep it secret.
After learning this secret, the most surprised people were Franco and Aurora.
After all, the fact that the true God's alter ego in the mortal world turned out to be the head of the empire was really shocking.
That's Si Chen!
It is the supreme existence at the end of mystery!
Being able to have such close contact with a god, even if it's just another person, is exhilarating.
Aleviya and Weiner had remotely watched the entire process of Gilan's attack with the head of state, and also heard his conversation with Speaker Leonidas and made some speculations.
So after learning the truth, my inner emotions were far greater than the shock.
"Ahem, you guys look for other files first, I'll go to Jilan's place to have a look..."
At this time, Aleviya whispered something, then turned and left.
Weiner chuckled, shrugged and said nothing, while Aurora's eyes were a little complicated.
"Go ahead, but Miss Maiev might be angry again."
Franco was rummaging around in front of the filing cabinet and said calmly without looking back.
"After all, making coffee for the Chairman is her job as a secretary. You are taking her job."
"What the hell..."
Alevia rolled her eyes coquettishly, twisted her waist and walked away.
It turned out that Franco was right.
When Aleviya made a cup of hot coffee and walked to the chairman's office, Maiev, who was sorting documents in the hall, immediately cast a hostile look at her and said in a nonchalant manner:
"Sir Aleviya, the chairman of the committee is out for business and is not in the office for the time being."
"Thanks for the reminder, Secretary Maiev."
Alevia returned a charming and polite smile, still holding coffee and knocking on the door.
Tuk Tuk.
But no one answered.
Alivia pushed the door open and found that the office was empty.
She walked in, put the coffee on the curved desk, looked around, her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of doubt and speculation, and murmured:
"Is it possible that he went to the Federation again?"
…
…
At this moment.
Owena Commonwealth.
A secret meeting was being held on the top floor of a certain building.
In the center of the closed and spacious conference hall, there was a round table, and six or seven men and women with mysterious temperaments sat beside it.
The leader was none other than Speaker Leonidas, who was wearing a military uniform, with a golden back and his eyes closed.
"Two days ago, the 'Red Sage' Gilan Iros sneaked into Jacobin again and attacked the General Council venue using unknown means such as alchemical storms and lightning. In a very short time, all people and the venue were destroyed."< br>
At the round table, a man also wearing a military uniform, but wearing a closed helmet like an inverted iron bucket on his head spoke.
On the face of his strange helmet, only a small hole was exposed for his right eye, and his dark and profound gaze was revealed.
The sound of the urn is loud and indifferent.
This is the mortal alter ego of the November Apostle "Saber Chief" Edwin Holment, the highest officer of the "Elephant Guards".
"Before this, the 'Red Sage' had used the Duke Martin family as a mouthpiece to threaten the twelve major families of the Federation, and even representative groups of all walks of life, so that these forces did not dare to send people to participate in the General Council anymore..."
"I didn't expect that the famous 'Red Sage' would be so insidious. He didn't have the slightest bit of magnanimity that a strong man should have."
At the round table, a gentleman wearing a white suit and a white bowler hat chuckled.
This person is the other person of June's apostle "White Hat" Panthesy Mullins.
"Actually, if you look at this person's growth history, you can easily find that he is not a kind person to begin with, and he is extremely murderous."
Another weirdo wearing a gray sacrificial robe, his face obscured by a paper crane, spoke.
He is the other person of October Apostle "Paper Bird" Ander Holland.
"Although it is a bit unscrupulous, it is undeniable that it is very effective... After this attack, coupled with the previous threatening statements, the Twelve Families and other representative groups may no longer dare to participate in matters related to the General Council in the short term. .”
"I haven't finished speaking... Just half an hour ago, the Golden Army was also attacked. A sudden thunderstorm occurred in the entire military region, and thousands of dormant biochemical soldiers evaporated in an instant, including thirty officers. .”
Edwin said calmly. "Even though I rushed to the scene as soon as possible, I couldn't detect the presence of the 'Red Sage'... This person can run away at a touch. He is extremely arrogant and confident. With his strange ability to come and go freely, he can't catch him at all. Shadow.”
"If this continues, in just a few years, Owei Na will be so overwhelmed by this person that he will be self-defeating and even risk disintegration..."
After that, the scene fell into silence.
Everyone present is the superior Bime, the manipulator behind the Owena Federation.
But now that they were forced into such a situation by a mortal, they couldn't help but feel ridiculous.
Although he wanted to peel off the "Red Sage"'s skin and cramps, he couldn't do anything to him.
Not to mention whether he can be caught or not, Speaker Leonidas has no choice but to ignore the lock and escape in an instant.
Even if you catch it, you may not be able to defeat it... This is the biggest problem.
After all, the "Red Sage" once fought against five, killing five people, and even faced Speaker Leonidas directly, and had a terrifying record of retreating after being severely injured.
If you really want to take action, you have to think carefully.
"Then how to deal with him next?"
Ander shook his head.
"Let him continue to wreak havoc? Isn't this ridiculous?"
"To deal with this person, you don't have to kill him, you just need to make him leave this world."
Edwin said calmly.
"Send a representative to negotiate with it. The path taken by the 'Red Sage' is February, and the ascension gate of this path happens to be occupied by your art camp, which can be used as an important bargaining chip."
Hearing this, several people looked at the man in military uniform in the first seat.
Leonidas still had his eyes closed and his face was expressionless.
After a few seconds of silence, he said:
"Miss Avril, please come forward."
The person he named was a petite woman with a cute face. Her feet could not even touch the ground while sitting on the chair.
He was wearing a loose beige robe, an octagonal beret, and his long black hair was tied into a slender braid.
She looks like a young girl secretly wearing adult clothes.
And this girl is the alter ego of Avril Lilith, the April Apostle "Girl of the Painted World".
"Well..."
The girl half-closed her eyes and seemed very sleepy. After thinking for a while, she said:
"Since Mr. Leonidas has requested something, I will be the envoy on your behalf."
…
…
A few more days passed.
night.
Gillan comes home from get off work.
As soon as he parked the car in the courtyard of the apartment, he noticed something.
After turning off the engine, Gillan turned to look under a tree in the yard, eyes narrowed.
There was a rattan swing hanging there, with a cute and delicate beret girl sitting on it.
The girl was minding her own business on the swing, her loose robe swaying in the wind. She seemed to be immersed in it, not caring about Gilan's arrival.
Bang.
Gilan opened the door and got out of the car, and walked slowly over with a white cane.
Until it stopped in front of the girl.
"Miss Avril Lillis?"
Ji Lan spoke calmly and expressed his guess.
His perception was already at the top of the world, and he easily realized that the girl in front of him was extremely powerful. She was not comparable to ordinary sixth-level long-term people, but she was probably the alter ego of a higher-ranking person.
Among the many apostles, only the "Girl of the Painted World" fits this image.
Hearing his call, the girl raised her sleepy eyes and glanced at him with empty, emotionless eyes.
"Mr. Gillan, first meeting."
The girl's hands hidden in her wide sleeves grasped the vines on both sides of the swing and spoke softly.
"I was entrusted by someone to come here to visit you, sir, just to convey a message... We allow you to cross the 'Gate of Black and White' and ascend on the February path. The premise is that you will no longer stay in the earthly world, no later than next month. Complete the Ascension Ceremony”
"Oh, I see."
Gillan nodded.
"Thank you Miss Avril for making the trip in person."
Immediately, he turned around and left.
The girl looked at his retreating back, her lovely and delicate face showing confusion and confusion.
It seems that he didn't expect Jilan's reaction to be so dull.
Crunch, crunch...
As soon as the swing swayed, the girl's figure disappeared, leaving the swing empty.
And Gillan suddenly stopped.
Because the girl suddenly stood in front of him, blocking his way.
"You really don't want to ascend?"
Avril frowned slightly and said.
Ji Lan looked down at the petite girl in front of him and grinned.
"I can live for hundreds of years, why should I rush to ascend?"
"But our conditions are only given once. If you miss this opportunity, you will never want to pass through the 'Black and White Gate' in the future."
Avril said lightly.
Gillan shrugged.
"It doesn't matter, I don't have to follow the old path of 'directing'... January, March, May, August, September and December, I have many choices. I really bother you to worry about me."< br>
"..."
After hearing this, the girl's frown deepened, and her empty eyes revealed deep confusion.
Is the "Red Sage" so capable?
How could he be recognized by so many Si Chens and be able to choose the path to ascension at will?
"Okay, if there's nothing else, Miss Avril, please go ahead and play on the swing. I won't charge you... I just came back from get off work. I'm very tired. I need to go upstairs to take a shower and rest."
Jilan yawned at the right time, with tired tears hanging from the corners of his eyes. He waved his hand and walked around the girl into the apartment door.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Avril's face.
What does this guy mean?
Teasing her, right? !
Snap!
Avril grabbed the corner of Gilan's clothes and said coldly:
"Just tell me your conditions. What do you need to be willing to ascend?"
Ji Lan lowered his eyes, looked at this cute girl, and chuckled twice.
"If Miss Avril had asked me to make some conditions earlier, it would be over. Why do you have to do that? I won't accept it..."
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the girl's octagonal beret, and with Avril's disbelieving expression on her face, he rubbed her head.
Immediately, Gilan pinched the girl's face and squeezed her tender, round and cute face like a flattened pastry.
Looking into each other's beautiful eyes, they said:
"It's not impossible for me to ascend. I have to go through all the gates you control."
