Chapter 424 Breakthrough

"do what?"

Gillan grinned.

"Of course I am saving you, Lord Duke Planck."

"What are you talking about..."

Plank looked at the purple-eyed young man who was gradually approaching him, and instinctively stepped back.

At the same time, he glanced under the guardrail with his peripheral vision and noticed that the servants downstairs were completely oblivious and remained sluggish, as if they were affected by a mysterious force.

The old man's heart sank.

Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, he saw the purple-eyed young man making a gesture and saying as if talking to himself:

"Get this old guy under control."

Immediately, in the mid-air where Plank couldn't see it, the enchanting little man flapped his bat wings and raised his hands toward him.

Buzz——

An invisible mysterious force enveloped him.

Plank was stunned for a moment.

His expression fell into a dull state, and his eyes were blank.

Gilan walked slowly to the old man and took out a brass pocket watch.

Click.

He pressed the switch of the pocket watch with his thumb, and the dial cover popped open, pointing at Planck.

Immediately, the pocket watch seemed to sense some kind of force, and the citrine pendulum hanging from its tail began to rotate clockwise.

'I was indeed hypnotized...'

Ji Lan secretly thought.

"This creation of the "Pendulum Maker" can indeed be regarded as a "special attack prop" of the "White Dove Tower". It is very easy to use... 1500 Caesar is really not in vain. ’

He smiled and pressed the mechanical knob on his pocket watch again.

Click.

This time, the three hands for hours, minutes and seconds began to move.

But soon, the speed of rotation gradually slowed down. It was as if there was an invisible force preventing them from gathering.

"Huh?" Jilan narrowed his eyes. "The original level of the person behind the scenes is above level 5, exceeding the limit of the 'Hangry Pointer'..."

Fortunately, the three hands finally overlapped with "difficulty" and pointed in the direction of 10 o'clock.

At the same time, the brass pocket watch made a crisp sound, and its dial was completely cracked and completely destroyed.

'pity……'

Ji Lan sighed secretly.

This alchemical creation had helped him a lot, but it was ruined like this, which made him feel a little sad.

‘Fortunately, I have found the location where the mastermind behind the scenes is hiding, so I can make the most of it. ’

He put away the damaged brass pocket watch and left Gangplank's villa with the little messenger Mo Weiwei.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, head straight to the direction pointed by the "hungry pointer".

…

…

Gilan was walking in King Klein's city at night.

His speed is not slow.

After deliberately avoiding the sight of local residents, Gilan shuttled through the dim alleys and jumped dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye, making it undetectable by ordinary people.

The night is getting darker.

Bathed in the moonlight, he arrived at an ordinary residential area seventeen or eighteen kilometers away from the palace.

Most of the people here have gone to bed, and only a few of the windows of the houses are still lit.

A bit of dog barking and chatter and laughter faintly reached Gillan's ears. He held his cane and held on to the brim of his hat, and slowly stopped on the street.

Across the street, a church much smaller than the "Scar Cathedral" stands on the corner of the street.

The direction pointed by the "hungry pointer" is in a three-story house behind the church.

"Huh..." Gilan let out a long breath and stared at the dark church and the building behind it.

‘If we don’t get rid of the people behind the scenes, the hard-liners within the royal court will become the biggest stumbling block to negotiations between the two parties. ’

Thinking to himself, he took steps forward.

The figure flashed and then disappeared.

But when Gilan walked through the narrow alley on the side of the church and was about to go straight to the house behind, he suddenly noticed a white dove sitting on a big banyan tree in the church through the iron fence.

The pigeon stared straight at him with its red eyes.

'It can escape my gnosis detection. This pigeon is the spy left here by the people behind the scenes...'

Ji Lan's heart sank.

While sighing that the other party was very cautious, he did not hesitate to take out a Pryce coin and flicked it with his finger.

call out--

Gilan's current physique is quite powerful, and his inhuman finger strength can eject metal coins. Its power is almost equivalent to the power of a small-caliber pistol.

Immediately, there was only a muffled sound, and the white dove on the banyan tree was instantly pierced by a coin the size of a fingernail, and a handful of blood mist was sprayed out, and it fell from the tree.

Gillan wasted no time and rushed towards the house at full speed... because he knew that from the moment the pigeon spotted him, the people behind the scenes were probably aware of his arrival.

Snap.

His figure flashed in a straight line, he kicked on the wall, stretched out his hand to grab, and climbed over the three-meter-high wall and landed in the courtyard of the building.

However, at the entrance of the corridor directly in front, two middle-aged men wearing waiter's clothes seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

They had expressionless faces, and each held a long sword and a box pistol.

Seeing that Jilan had broken in, one of them did not hesitate, raised his gun and shot.

Bang bang bang! !

Three shots in a row.

Muzzle flashes flashed in the night.

The moment the opponent raised his hand, Gilan made a dodge movement and easily avoided three bullets.

But Jilan's face looked quite ugly.

Because the sound of gunshots was very loud, especially in this silent night, it seemed very harsh.

The other party probably never thought that Gilan could be killed with just a pistol. The purpose of shooting was just to attract the attention of surrounding residents and confuse the situation.

‘The reason this guy is hiding here is probably because he wants to use the “Scar Church” as a cover! ’

Ji Lan secretly thought.

Almost the next second after the gunshot, he heard the warning bell ringing in the small church next to the house.

In the surrounding houses, the windows lit up one after another, and noisy exclamations continued.

Obviously, the other party's purpose has been achieved.

As the leader of the foreign envoy, Gilan walked alone at night and caused fights and riots. This kind of thing cannot be exposed on the table.

Otherwise it is a diplomatic incident.

He and the envoys will be sent back to the country and even held accountable, which will cause the diplomatic plan of this trip to come to nothing.

Gillan seemed to have foreseen the subsequent development.

But he didn't retreat.

Because the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired. If the person behind the scenes is not caught tonight, he will fall into an even more passive situation from now on.

After all, the enemy will not miss this opportunity.

Bang bang bang! !

There were several more gunshots.

As the fireworks burst out, Gilan's figure dodged left and right, moving a long distance in the blink of an eye, like an animation.

The expressions of the two male waiters changed slightly.

Gillan is close.

They gave up shooting and raised their swords.

Both of them are attendants controlled by the "Winter Snake". They are third-level spiritual mystics, primeval "warriors", and have strong close combat capabilities.

They were ordered not to kill or repel Gilan, but only to slow him down a little.

However, Jilan's strength still exceeded the expectations of the people behind the scenes...

Clang! !

A bright silver sword light flashed.

With a cold face, Ji Lan struck out with the killing move "Universal Sword·Silver Plate". The sword body disappeared and turned into little bits of cold light.

Just a few tinkling sounds were heard, and sparks flew everywhere.

The long swords in the hands of the two male waiters broke with a sound, and were cut into several pieces by Gilan's terrifying slashes.

The sword wind faced each other, and before the two of them could dodge, the flowing silver light passed over their necks in the next second.

呲呲——

Blood spurted out, and the two men who were killed waved their arms randomly and fell down.

Gilan had already passed the two corpses and rushed up the corridor.

But as soon as he reached the second floor, he heard a slight sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Ji Lan snorted coldly, pushed open the window in the corridor, jumped down, and chased in the direction of the sound.

Passing the house, he saw a man wearing a high-collar trench coat, carrying a cane and running away along the alley without looking back.

His movements are extremely fast and his physical fitness is excellent.

"Nobbs Sulu (Winter Snake)."

"Male, 90 years old."

"The secret society 'White Dove Tower' is currently one of the 'Three Fables', code-named 'Winter Snake'. In order to carry out important tasks in the tower, he came to Stuttgart three years ago, operated in hiding, and infiltrated the 'Iron-Blooded Royal Court' The aristocratic power..."

"Got you." Gillan sneered.

He moved his feet, holding the Sword of Laughter, and chased after him.

The man in the trench coat turned around while running wildly, glanced at Jilan indifferently with his green eyes, and said:

"I don't know how you found me, but it's obvious that you made a mistake, Gilan Yiros."

Gillan didn't answer.

He speeded up, and with the terrifying physique of the "crazy owl resident", he caught up with the man in the trench coat in just a few breaths.

Immediately, he struck the head with a sword and cut out silver light.

Clang! !

Winter Snake twisted around, swung his staff with one hand, and clashed with the flower basket cross sword.

Dazzling sparks shot out, and there was a clanging sound.

Trembling continuously, the winter snake's green eyes crossed the cane and looked at Jilan.

"Do you think I evacuated because I was afraid of you?"

he sneered.

"If you weren't worried about being exposed, you would definitely die here tonight..."

"You might as well give it a try." Gilan said calmly.

He moved his hand again and changed his moves directly.

The attacking "silver plate" instantly turned into the enemy-defeating "silver halo". The sword blurred for a moment and then disappeared.

The shining silver light spread out and surrounded the winter snake. Immediately, they turned into sharp silver lines, stabbing straight towards him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! !

Dong Snake's eyes were focused, and the emerald on the top of his cane instantly burst into light.

There was a constant popping sound.

Jilan's dense silver slashes were all blocked and absorbed by the green light.

Zheng!

Dong Shen shook her hand and used her cane to pry open Jilan's sword. Then she used her strength to leap up like a big bird and distance herself.

In mid-air, he made an abrupt snap of his fingers.

Snap!

Green light emanated from the gem at the end of the staff, twisting like a veil and surrounding the winter snake for several weeks.

"Mirage." Dong She said softly.

The green light gathered again and exploded suddenly.

Like a flash bomb, a dazzling light like daylight bloomed in mid-air, instantly engulfing Jilan.

The strong mysterious magnetic field, accompanied by hypnotic power, constantly washes away Gillan's consciousness.

At this moment, Gilan saw the ocean, the clock tower, the carriage, and all kinds of people.

They laugh, they cry, and they interpret daily life vividly.

'The power of level 5 "illusion"...'

Gillan remained conscious.

He shouted in his heart:

‘Lordland! ’

Deep in his eyes, the cross sword bonfire burned brightly.

The light and heat of the fire dissipated the magnetic field and power, firmly guarding his mind.

Snap.

The man in the windbreaker landed lightly and waved his staff.

With a cold face, he thrust out his staff, preparing to stab the purple-eyed young man in the throat.

But the next second.

Clang! !

Jilan, who was originally affected, was only in a daze for a moment, and then regained his consciousness under Dong She's stunned gaze. He raised his sword and threw out the silver sword light, blocking his staff blow.

The two sides were bounced away by the huge force and stood still more than ten meters away.

"Incredible psychic strength..."

Dong She narrowed her cold eyes and said in a deep voice.

After being promoted to level 5 for decades, he has developed his original power to an extremely high level.

He had never seen a fourth-level Kuze who was almost unaffected after being hit by his own illusion move.

And the other party's actual combat level exceeds that of intelligence, and can compete with him on a equal footing...

This is incredible.

The winter snake felt in trouble.

He realized that it was impossible to kill the opponent in a short period of time, so he made a prompt decision and changed his strategy.

I saw him swinging his cane.

More than a dozen green light strips emerged from the tip of his staff, and snaked like a swarm of snakes, scattering in all directions.

Almost the next second.

There was a sound of dense footsteps.

Ji Lan started his spiritual vision and found that a large number of nearby residents, patrol guards and church personnel were all heading this way.

These people were obviously affected by the illusory power of Winter Snake and became "chess pieces" used by it to stop Gilan.

Ji Lan's heart sank.

He wouldn't go crazy and kill them all.

As a result, the difficulty of killing the winter snake will be greatly increased.

'After turning on "King's Coming", can you kill the winter snake before the crowd comes...'

Ji Lan secretly thought.

But he wasn't sure.

"Gilan Iros, please keep the 'Farmer's' disk stone. I will come and get it soon."

Dong She sneered, jumped back, and jumped onto the low wall beside the alley.

After saying that, his figure was covered by a burst of green light and disappeared without a trace.

Ji Lan had no expression on his face, stepped on his feet, and tried to catch up. But he suddenly raised his sword midway and slashed towards his side.

Clang! !

A strong man covered in black armor and a spiked steel helmet suddenly appeared. He held a scimitar and chopped off Jilan's head, then struck with the cross sword.

A harsh clang sounded.

Jilan held the sword and threw out another silver arc, forcing the black-armored man back.

When the opponent landed, Jilan's face turned stern.

Because there is more than one black-armored warrior.

More than ten or twenty figures wearing black armor came one after another and surrounded Jilan.

"Wangting Temple, Blade Hall Warrior..."

Jilan said solemnly.

The strength of these black-armored warriors is quite good, all of them have reached level 4, and their essences are all the same body and sword spirals, the "beasts" of March's "Gladiator" journey.

They seemed to be more or less affected by the illusion of the winter snake. They focused all their attention on Jilan and ignored the winter snake's departure.

"Mr. Guillain Iros."

One of the men in black armor spoke, with a look of indifference under his spiked steel helmet.

"As a foreign guest, you killed people wantonly in King Klein City and caused quite a commotion... Please come with us."
