"New skin?"
The poet of great love looked at him in confusion.
"Yes, except for your facial features, I can probably change your entire look. You don't need to buy extra clothes. You can just use a magic card to change your outfit."
Lanci explained.
The effect of the third-level white ordinary equipment card [Cartoon Mask] that I made in the registered card maker exam last time is that it can equip summoned creatures, harmonize the ferocious image, make it cute, and change the appearance of the summoned creatures. If Lanqi combines it with the principle of [Transformation: Demon], he should be able to make an exclusive shape change card for the Great Love Poet.
Although it is useless except for looking good and will take up more space for Lanqi, it can reduce the recognition of the Great Love Poet. When he goes to the Northern Continent, even if he does not allow the Great Love Poet to openly use the ability of magic sound easily, having an extra stand-in who can communicate with the poet telepathically will still be of great use.
In addition, Lanqi is not sure whether this new type of magic card that adds exclusive skins to summoned creatures will be popular. Since each card will be customized, the price will definitely be very expensive. Unless you are a fan of the summoned creatures, you probably won't come to him to buy this kind of card.
"Hurry, hurry, go back and start working!"
The Great Love Poet immediately walked up to Lanci and patted his desk, then disappeared at his words and turned back into Lanci's card.
She was obviously very excited about the possibility of cross-dressing proposed by Lanqi, and she wished that her own exclusive card would fill up all of Lanqi's card slots in the future.
"You two..."
Hyperion felt uneasy.
Lanqi and the poet of love are playing dress-up games with Tata's appearance. If Miss Tata knew...
After the great poet of love disappeared.
Phoenix finally emerged from drowning like a man, breathing in fear and palpitations.
He stared at Lanci behind the table.
Seeing that Lanci was able to control this incredibly powerful and extraordinary summon, Phoenix became increasingly confused about how strong this man was and how many secrets he held.
Now he even felt that in that demon academy, Lanqi might really be as terrifying and evil as he and his sister had seen.
Lanci first turned on all the lights in the warehouse, then uncuffed Phoenix, handed him a cup of steaming hot tea, and sat back down at the table.
"I'm sorry, Phoenix-san, my summons may have been too aggressive."
Lanci said to Phoenix with a little apology.
Hyperion silently recorded Phoenix's confession. She knew that Lanci was indeed a conservative and he always felt that the radicals were too conservative.
"..."
Phoenix lowered his head and listened quietly, not daring to interrupt Lanqi's speech.
Although the environment at this moment has undergone a simple change, the atmosphere seems to have changed from an interrogation room to a meeting area in the student union room.
But Phoenix's heart was still cold, and the words of the great poet of love still seemed to echo in his ears.
"First of all, I assure you that none of the situations mentioned by the great poet of love will happen."
Lanci looked at Phoenix with a gentle expression. In stark contrast to the great poet of love, his words and actions were exceptionally upright and dignified.
"!"
Phoenix couldn't understand whether Lanci was speaking seriously or speaking in slang.
Because to him, this sentence seemed to have another meaning: "If you don't cooperate, then what the great poet said will happen."
"I believe you are ready to change. So, do you have any thoughts of turning from evil to good?"
Lanci finally finished his opening remarks and asked.
In fact, by now, Lanqi and Hyperion both had some understanding in their hearts.
For example, every teammate they met in the first Shadow World [Purgatory Corridor Academy] had a little bit of inevitability by chance.
If Phoenix's sister was not a believer in resurrection, he would have brought her with him when he was in Purgatory Corridor Academy, and he also brought her with him on this trip to the Kingdom of Hutton. Obviously, she was very important to Phoenix, and he would never be willing to leave his sister alone in the Kingdom of Alolan.
Just look at Phoenix's expression now.
"…Do I have a choice?"
Phoenix asked in a hoarse voice, lowering his head.
He knew that this group of demons would use the fact that he did not harm his sister as a bargaining chip like the Bishop of Destruction, so that he would work wholeheartedly for the church.
At that time, he was facing the Bishop of Destruction who burned their town like a god. The young boy gambled his soul and made a deal with the Bishop of Destruction, so that the Bishop of Destruction would spare him and his sister who was dying and fainted.
He was ready to sell his soul to the devil again. Even if he would be doomed, he would protect his sister until the last moment.
"Of course, I am not one of those inhumane and evil cardinals of the Church of the Resurrection. I am obviously a good young man from Ikerite, law-abiding, and full of love. I am completely different from those people of the Church of the Resurrection. You can open your heart to me."
Lanqi replied with a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
This made Phoenix feel cold all over.
Phoenix didn't dare reveal his deep doubts about Lanqi's words.
Because Lanci didn't look like he was joking.
If he denied Lanqi's words, he might get angry and claim that Lanqi, as a prisoner, "is not ideologically aware enough" and give him another course of treatment.
"No matter whether you repent in the end or not, as long as we are sure that your sister is innocent, we at Ikerita Academy will ensure that she will no longer be harassed by the Resurrection Church. She is her, and you are you. You are not involved with each other, that's all."
Lanqi added in a calm voice,
"I am willing to help everyone who needs help. Even if you feel that you have no chance of salvation, as long as you sincerely repent, I will give you a chance to start a new life and return to the right path."
"You are also very important to your sister. You are the only one she trusts and can rely on. Just think of it for Phyllis's happiness."
After saying this, Lanqi covered his teacup and remained silent, giving Phoenix time to think slowly.
"..."
Phoenix knew that Ranch was incomprehensible, dangerous and mysterious.
But it is also at this moment.
Phoenix inexplicably felt that this demon, who seemed to have a glowing light and a pair of emerald green eyes that could see through his mind, was the only one who could give him salvation.
It was just like when she and her sister were protected by him in the principal's office of Purgatory Corridor Academy.
He is scary though.
But Phoenix actually began to hope that they were from the same force as him.
You will get his protection.
More reassuring than anything else.
Chapter 198 Lanqi said that good people will be rewarded
"You, what do you want me to do?"
Phoenix asked with a trembling voice, staring at Lanci.
Since there is still a chance, he will try his best even for his sister Phyllis.
"I have to tell you first. You have colluded with the Resurrection Church, attempted murder, and tried to cause a large-scale accident. You will inevitably spend the rest of your life in prison. However, if you actively plead guilty and behave well, you can make up for your crime and strive for a reduction in sentence... When you are in prison, just ask me and I will personally help you with the lawsuit."
Lanci clearly told Phoenix the shortest sentence he could get. If he committed a crime, he would go to jail. It had nothing to do with whether he was willing to join Lanci.
"As for your sister, if she is truly innocent, after a strict examination by the Church of the Goddess of Fate, she can seek refuge with High Priest Loren. I will have her transfer to Ikerite College, so you don't have to worry about anything. Of course, your sister will also receive extra attention and protection from Dean Loren at that time."
"..."
Phoenix listened to Lanqi's words, pursed his lips tightly and clenched his fists.
The plan proposed by Lanqi is undoubtedly the best situation for them at the moment.
Even compared to the scenarios previously described by the poet of great love, Phoenix couldn't think of how Lanci could be more merciful.
Anyone with normal skills would know which one to choose between High Priest Loren and Bishop of Destruction Ivanos.
But Phoenix was worried.
After being arrested and thrown into prison as a serious criminal.
My sister will be criticized in Ikrit Academy and live a very unhappy life.
When he thought of this, he could only blame himself deeply.
"The above is all official business. As long as you don't lie to Dean Loren and sincerely admit your mistakes and repent, these things will happen."
Lan Qi didn't finish speaking, and was still talking to Phoenix.
Ivanos actually has a rather evil mind.
Lanqi knew that if this attack plan was really successful, Phoenix's sister would most likely be protected by the kind-hearted Loren after undergoing a series of inspections in King Hutton's capital.
However, having a brother who is a cultist, murderer, and terrorist, and who also killed students of the Sages' Academy and innocent civilians, will brand and label Phyllis for life, making her lonely and helpless in Ikerit, unable to hold her head up and live a life isolated from happiness, suffering only from people's malice and accusations.
Perhaps this was one of the little endings Ivanos had hoped for.
Lanqi disagrees, he hopes for a happy ending.
So he would not let Ivanos get what he wanted.
"Phoenix, please rest assured. No matter what crime you have committed, I promise you that your sister will not be treated unfairly in Ikrit Academy. Our school will never allow any bullying of classmates to happen."
Lanqi said in a serious voice.
"...!!"
When Phoenix heard Lanqi's words, he raised his head in surprise, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Originally, this kind of assurance was just empty talk from a leader, and even if it was made by Loren, Phoenix could not let go of his worries about his sister.
After all, no one can guarantee that other students will not bully his sister in private. Some discrimination that comes from the bottom of the heart and is accompanied by malice cannot be erased.
But if I get a promise from the person in front of me...
That is indeed extremely trustworthy.
Because no irrational student would do anything that Lanqi would feel was "incorrect", "unfriendly", or "needs to be corrected".
Although his love is chaotic and twisted, it embraces everything.
He can provide shelter even to those aliens who are rejected by the human group and need to be eliminated.
Treat them all equally.
