Gilan returned to Miss Sparrow's door.
After the three people left Black City, they traveled a long way and stopped for a rest at this small hotel. Unfortunately, they found that there were only two rooms left.
In desperation, Gilan had no choice but to let old Charles live in one room, while he made do with the sofa in Miss Sparrow's room for the night and took care of her.
After waiting quietly for a few seconds, he used his excellent hearing to capture Miss Sparrow's steady breathing. After confirming that she had fallen asleep, he gently pushed the door open and entered.
Gilan touched the darkness and quietly sat on the sofa.
Then, he counted his belongings.
He took out five wallets from his alchemical leather pocket, one of his own and four of the Louis Family's direct descendants.
Open the four wallets of different styles, take out the belongings inside, and remove some Price and Melang coins, totaling 82 Caesar 159 Pfennig.
Louis Family's direct descendants are all young ladies, and they always carry large sums of cash with them to go out for fun, but now they are all owned by Gilan.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a stack and a roll of two large-denomination bills.
A stack of banknotes came from the Louis Family's safe, 1300 Caesar, neat, brand new and straight. A roll of banknotes came from Mr. Stork's leather bag, containing nearly 500 Caesar.
Gilan sums up all banknotes, totaling 2227 Caesar.
Pfennig has more than 200, as well as a handful of large and small coins, not counting.
This is a huge sum of money, and it is also the guarantee for Gilan's survival after arriving in the capital.
This money can provide him with many conveniences and avoid a lot of trouble.
It's just that there were a lot of banknotes, and the small wallet Gilan bought before couldn't hold them at all, so he chose a black rectangular plaid leather wallet to hold the money.
I don't know which of the four Louis siblings this belongs to.
After closing the wallet and putting it back inside Alchemy Pocket, Gilan took out other valuables, such as silver lighters, gold watches, gold bars, and some jewelry.
These are all things that were looted from the Louis Family's direct descendants, but there is no way to sell them for the time being. We can only wait until we arrive in the capital to find a way to sell them all.
Gilan packed these valuables in a small paper bag, and also put them into Alchemy Pocket and put them away.
When putting the paper bag away, his hand suddenly touched a few cold coins at the bottom of Alchemy Pocket. After a moment of hesitation, he took them out.
These are three gold coins.
Lying quietly in his palm.
The bird patterns of stork, Oystercatcher and Seagull are respectively carved.
Ding.
Gilan took out his own Snowy Owl gold coins, put them together, then put his fingers together and clenched his palms tightly.
There was a clanging sound outside the window, and the rain was pouring.
He was out of breath for some reason.
'Iridescence!'
Gilan's eyes narrowed, and his mind began to recall the contents of <Iron Thorn Meditation Method>.
The color number "63" in the corner of his sight dropped to "53".
The proficiency of the meditation method was immediately improved to the "Seven Thorns".
But Gilan had no intention of stopping.
'Iridescence, continue!'
The colored number "53" fell again and turned into "43".
'Go on!'
'Keep going!!'
Eventually, the colored numbers bottomed out, with only the single digit "3".
And Gilan also realized that the meditation method has reached the highest level of proficiency that can no longer be improved, "Twelve Thorns".
He let out a long breath, held the gold coins in his hands, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and closed his eyes in the darkness.
Gilan began to visualize the big black iron ball.
Watch it go from still to slowly rotating, then to squirming on the surface and bulging out small bumps.
In my ears, the noisy wind and rain gradually faded away.
The "pity" emotion in his heart reached its peak. It was at this moment that the big black iron ball squirmed as if it had accumulated infinite power, reached the threshold, and suddenly exploded!
Twelve black iron spikes bloom like this!
Like a sea urchin, it suddenly pierced into his mind!
Gilan's expression changed dramatically!
His eyes instantly glazed over, and the raging phantom pain directly overwhelmed his consciousness. His whole body felt nothing but pain.
Gilan began to twitch involuntarily, and veins bulged on his face. Even his facial muscles were beating, as if his face was constantly changing, which was strange and terrifying.
It hurts!
It hurts so much!!
This kind of phantom pain even exceeds the limit that ordinary people can bear!
After receiving such terrible pain, the brain instinctively cuts off Gilan's consciousness and makes him faint.
But while Gilan was in a state of confusion, he recalled the scene of the war.
Recalling that white dream.
The three figures walked straight into the fog and never came back.
The pain deep in my soul is superimposed on the phantom pain at this moment.
At this moment.
Gilan instead fell into a state of extreme emptiness and confusion.
All pain is gone.
He felt himself floating.
Look down.
His body was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, his head hunched, his expression dull, tears, tears and saliva flowing out, like a dementia patient.
Gilan turned to look out the window again.
The heavy rain seemed to have stopped, like a photo.
There was dead silence all around.
This state did not last long. After a few minutes, Gilan slowly fell and took control of his body again.
At this moment, the practice of meditation also came to an end.
He raised his head slightly and felt that his brain was extremely tired and he could hardly open his eyes. But at the same time, he could clearly feel that his perception had become sharper.
'Gnosis has improved a lot.'
Gilan took out a handkerchief and wiped the secretions from his face expressionlessly.
He sighed secretly.
I originally planned to use the phantom pain of meditation to suppress the pain in my soul, but I didn't expect that a combination of circumstances made the practice of "Twelve Thorns" so smooth.
'Go to sleep, you'll be fine if you sleep.'
Gilan took advantage of this tiredness to find a comfortable position, leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.
After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, six o'clock sharp.
Gilan opened his eyes on time.
He sat up.
The rain outside the window has stopped and the sky is bright.
Involuntarily, Gilan's mood also improved.
He first quietly observed Miss Sparrow and found that she was not awake yet, so he quietly went to the bathroom and washed herself briefly.
Immediately, he put on his felt hat and windbreaker and left the room.
As soon as I came out, I bumped into old Charles walking out of the next room.
"Master, good morning."
When old Charles saw Gilan, his expression changed.
"I also plan to go downstairs to have breakfast first, and then bring one up for you and Miss Aurora."
"No need to go to such trouble, let's go down together."
Gilan shook his head and said.
Old Charles heard this and didn't force it, so the two of them went downstairs together, ordered two ordinary breakfast packages at the front desk, and then sat in a corner to wait.
The set meal was mediocre, consisting of a bacon sandwich, a small bowl of mashed potatoes, and a cup of cheap coffee, worth 9 Melang.
The price is a bit expensive, but the hotel is located on the side of the main road, so the high price is understandable. After all, it is passers-by like them who are being ripped off.
While waiting for the meal, old Charles opened the cigarette case and handed over a cigarette. Unexpectedly, the young master who would accept cigarettes before raised his hand and refused.
Old Charles was startled, and then he took off the cigarette from his mouth and put it back into the cigarette case, not intending to continue smoking.
"Master, we have left Kawa Province and entered Best Province. We will probably arrive at the capital 'Muse City' in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."
Old Charles said.
Gilan nodded, thought for a while, and said:
"Tell me about the Fahan Family."
