It was already afternoon when Gilan returned to the Assembly's apartment.

He first went upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes, and then returned to the restaurant to eat something. Old Jerry warmed up the dinner for him thoughtfully, and Gilan ate every last bit of the meal.

As for those Louis Family dead soldiers, they were all chopped up by him.

Then I randomly found an open space and buried them all.

It's just that the heads are separated, so it takes a little more time to process.

Under the influence of "Bloodthirst Curse", the strength of those dead warriors has indeed been improved. They were temporarily transformed from apprentice-level fighters to Instructor-level fighters in one fell swoop.

But for Gilan, it is still vulnerable.

After dinner, Gilan sat on the sofa to rest.

At this time, most of the Assembly members left and were not in the apartment. After Mr. Stork heard the noise, he walked out of the room, limped downstairs while holding on to the handrail of the spiral staircase, and sat in front of Gilan.

"Why don't you take a good rest?" Gilan poured tea for Mr. Stork.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, but it's still a little difficult to walk."

Mr. Stork shook his head, took the tea cup and thanked him.

He glanced at the blond young man in front of him and didn't ask how the battle was going, because the fact that the other man was sitting here unscathed already explained a lot.

"Mr. Snowy Owl, this is 300 Caesar, the reward for your actions promised to you."

Mr. Stork took out three "100" denomination gold foil banknotes that he had prepared, stacked them neatly, and pushed them in front of Gilan.

"Thank you." Gilan raised his eyebrows. "But, isn't it 200? Why is it 100 more?"

"It's only me who wants to thank you. You saved my life, Mr. Snowy Owl. You deserve this."

Mr. Stork smiled, shook his head and said:

"If you need anything in the future, just ask me and I will do my best to help."

Gilan looked at the three brand-new Gold Caesar on the coffee table and put them away without refusing.

He doesn't have much money left and just needs it.

In addition to the 300 Caesar, the deposit has reached 345 Caesar, and the money has become abundant.

"Exactly, Mr. Stork, I do need your help with something."

Gilan spoke at this time.

"Say." Mr. Stork took a sip of tea and nodded.

"Can you help make arrangements and send me away Black City."

Gilan Put it bluntly.

Mr. Stork was startled and slowly put down the tea cup.

"Are you planning to go somewhere else?" He seemed a little confused.

"Yeah." Gilan lowered his eyes.

"I am wanted here and am not living freely. Moreover, I plan to do one thing before I leave. I am afraid I will not be able to stay here anymore... I might as well go somewhere else to avoid getting into trouble for you."

Hearing this, Mr. Stork was shocked.

He suddenly remembered that Mr. Snowy Owl had a grudge against the Louis Family.

Now that the opponent has the strength of a master fighter, he will definitely want to take revenge on him. This matter will definitely anger the local council and the city police department and cause an uproar.

Layton·Louis is the Baron of the empire, and was once a high-ranking official of Imperial Chamber of Commerce. Once something happens to him, the hunting force used by the authorities will never be comparable to what it is now.

Even "Purification Department" will take action directly!

Mr. Snowy Owl The only option is to escape.

Having guessed all this, Mr. Stork also knew that Gilan had already decided to leave, and his own persuasion was useless.

And he didn't want to persuade.

After all, this is someone else's hatred. If I have never experienced it, who am I qualified to offer advice?

Mr. Stork respects Gilan's choice.

"Do you need me to help you?" He asked in a deep voice. "I have many friends who are willing to sacrifice their lives for me... When I recover from my injuries, I can take action."

Gilan glanced at Mr. Stork and fell into silence.

With Mr. Stork's wisdom, there is no way he could not figure out what he wanted to do, let alone the danger hidden behind it.

But even so, she was still willing to help him.

Gilan feels something in his heart.

In his previous life, no one had ever treated him like this.

After traveling to this different world, the members of the Assembly treated each other sincerely. Gilan didn't get along with the members for long, but they lived very comfortably.

Even warm.

This, maybe, is a friend.

"Thank you, but no need." Gilan smiled and shook his head in refusal. "This is my trouble, so I won't burden you."

"In this case, be careful."

Mr. Stork nodded and said solemnly.

"Just tell me in advance when you want to leave. I will prepare your identity certificate, train ticket and accompanying supplies. Then you only need to follow the route and process I have arranged for you to enter the train station, board the train, and you will be able to go to other places smoothly."

"Thank you."

Gilan took a deep breath and smiled.

The two drank tea and were silent for a moment.

Mr. Stork suddenly proposed:

"Before you leave, let's watch the movie with everyone one more time. I also have a True Film Reel in my hand, which you haven't seen yet."

"What film?" Gilan became interested.

"<Rongdeng Great Plague#2>." Mr. Stork said slowly.

"This is the second episode in a series of movies, and its level of danger is much higher than the <Black Lake> we watched before, or even the <Moon-Scorched Village#1> in your hands."

"The background of the movie story took place three hundred years ago at the end of the Middle Ages. At that time, the two most powerful countries on the mainland, 'Rongden Kingdom' and 'Sakya Kingdom', went to war. The war spread to the entire continent... This war, which lasted for an entire century, was also called 'War of Rongsa' by later generations."

Mr. Stork seems to have done a lot of research on this and told Gilan:

"Rongden Kingdom originated from the ancient 'Hiru' civilization in Dawn Era BC, which advocated force and longed for glory; Sakya Kingdom originated from another ancient civilization 'Romei', which was a matrilineal society that respected nature and longed for reproduction."

"The residents of the Bremen Empire all call themselves descendants of 'Hiru people', because our ancestors may all be people of the Rongden Kingdom... Of course, this is just my speculation, because the stories in the movie are not necessarily true history, and may have been artistically processed... But there must be some connection between the two."

Mr. Stork said, lifting the small teapot and refilling the cup for the two of them.

Gilan nodded.

He also had the same feeling about this.

The stories in the movie seem to have a vague and paradoxical connection with the real world.

He still remembered that when he was having breakfast in a cafe, he heard the gentlemen discussing current affairs calling the head of the empire the beacon of the "Hiru nation".

This can also corroborate Mr. Stork's point of view.

Because the Bremen Empire high-level officials blocked historical records from a hundred years ago, the people did not know much about the past.

Many things can only be guessed.

At this time, Gilan couldn't help but think of <White Cross Body-Forging Technique> that he had practiced.

In the secret notes of Scribe Espi, there are detailed records:

"Healing Knights" was a mysterious armed force active at the end of the Middle Ages, that is, in the seventeenth century.

This knighthood intervened in "War of Rongsa" with a strong attitude and laid an important foundation for the future pattern.

'So, is there some kind of connection between different True Film Reel?'

Gilan guess.

'Or, like the description of <Moon-Scorched Village#1> in the text "Iridescence", these True Film Reel actually record some real "secret history"?'

"Mr. Snowy Owl."

Mr. Stork saw that Gilan was very interested, so he continued:

"I and other members have watched the movie <Rongdeng Great Plague#2> once, so we know the general situation... At that time, we will enter a small town in the Rongden Kingdom as a third party force, that is, as a 'mercenary' of the Northern Merchant Alliance 'Bosi Alliance' in addition to Rongsa and Rongsa."

"A plague broke out in that town due to unknown reasons. Cults are raging in the city, riots are rampant, and the people are in dire straits. It is very dangerous. I speculate that the main line of the story should be that we need to help the local city lord suppress the chaos and control order, so that we can obtain certain rewards."

Gilan nodded, Mr. Stork's words really aroused his interest.

"Okay, before I leave, I will participate in one more group viewing."

"How about 'Movie Day' is set in three days?"

Mr. Stork smiled.

With the fighting master Mr. Snowy Owl accompanying you, the movie-watching process will be much smoother.

"Okay." Gilan nodded.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, Mr. Stork, does the town you mentioned have a name?"

"Yes."

Mr. Stork recalled it.

"It seems to be called 'Leia' city."
