Lanqi did not nod, but signaled with his eyes to the high priest to walk and talk. After taking a step forward, the handcuffs gently dragged Sid, causing Sid to start walking forward like a puppet.
"..."
The high priest quickly caught up with the Son of Annihilation and walked towards the wide platform road behind the checkpoint.
Even the high priest could clearly feel the terrifying extent of the cursed magic on the woman next to the Son of God. It was obvious that she had been educated and adjusted by the Son of God into a state where she could not resist, and her own spiritual will was almost sealed.
"There is a more important task that needs to be assigned to you. I have already gathered the other high priests. You can go back to the temple first and prepare to set off today."
Lanci gave brief and clear instructions.
He came from the city-state's Temple of the Knights of Annihilation and met many high priests at the Rock Junction Station. He finished his work with them, and this was the last one.
Soon Lanqi will go to the platform to board the magic rail train that is about to arrive at the station and head to the imperial capital Helrom.
The interview is imminent and there is no time to lose.
His talk show would appear on screens all over Helrom, including being screened simultaneously on the largest skyscraper screen in the Helrom Plaza commercial district. If Hyperion had been to the imperial capital Helrom during his northern journey, there was a high probability that she would have been able to see him.
Just like the most common sense saying - if you get separated from your companion, you must stand in the most conspicuous place and wait for her to come back.
Lanci and the archpriest walked through a wide hall. The huge clock on top of the Rock Junction station ticked softly. The sound echoed and spread under the high dome, and each sound seemed exceptionally clear.
In the station hall where the new order has been established, the further you go forward, the sparser the number of people becomes.
Until they entered a passage, away from the noise, the sound was like the tiny water marks left after the tide receded, and their slender shadows were projected on the walls on both sides, swaying back and forth with their steps.
"In addition to me, Asksan has also summoned all the direct soldiers and high priests in the north. We need to go to the northern border province as quickly as possible."
At this point, Lanqi finally officially began to talk about the mission content.
"Lord Asksan may be seriously injured now, and I have a more important mission to go to the imperial capital, so I cannot go to rescue him personally."
When he said this, his voice was lowered a little, and his usually calm expression also revealed an unspeakable sense of crisis.
"Lord Asksan is injured?"
The high priest looked surprised. He obviously didn't expect that Bishop Silent still needed support. It seemed like he was in big trouble.
"Don't tell anyone."
Lanci warned.
"clear."
The high priest nodded repeatedly, but even so, knowing the seriousness of the problem, a ripple inexplicably began to arise in his heart.
Asksan gave the Son of Annihilation other tasks and sent him to the imperial capital of Helrom, far away from the northern border, and called many high priests to the north for support.
If the Bishop of Silence is now so weak that he needs to be on guard against the Son of Silence...
If he joins forces with other high priests, is it possible to kill Bishop Annihilation?
However, when the high priest raised his head again, he found that the Son of Nirvana was staring at him blankly. This look, as if it could see through his thoughts, shocked him from the bottom of his soul.
"I advise you not to have any thoughts. Since Lord Asksan has decided to send you over, he will definitely not let you take advantage of the situation. If he finds out that you have any ulterior motives, he will immediately treat you as his mortal enemy and wipe you out."
Lanqi reminded him affectionately, and it also sounded like the most severe warning.
"Of course, of course."
The high priest replied with cold sweat on his back.
The sound of footsteps was particularly clear in the passage, and occasionally one could see the itinerary on the magic crystal screen, its outlines and words flashing in the dim light.
Few people have ever walked this passage. With every step you take, you can feel the hustle and bustle from the main station hall gradually fading away, eventually settling into the gloomy darkness of an uninhabited area.
"Okay, let's go back."
Lanqi's clear instructions were particularly clear in the corridor.
The high priest saluted Lanqi, then turned and walked towards the end of the dim corridor, until his figure gradually faded away and merged into the light and shadow in the distance.
Lanqi watched the high priest for a while, then led Sid and continued forward.
"I reminded him with good intentions, but I don't know whether he listened or not."
Lan Qi shook his head.
Although Bishop Asksan of Annihilation was seriously injured, there were no seals on him. It should be no problem for him to recover to the level where he can deal with seventh-level enemies after so many days. Even if one wants to form a team to fight Asksan, sending more high priests will only lead to their deaths.
"..."
Sid, who was walking beside him with his head lowered, still remained obedient like a puppet.
But she was almost unable to hold back.
She heard the newborn say this to every high priest along the way.
She dared to guarantee that Lanqi's information had been revealed to this extent. Combined with a series of previous situations, it was impossible for these high priests not to doubt Asksan's current true condition, and it was impossible for them not to want the [Original Slate-Seal] that could explode from Asksan, as well as those seventh- and eighth-level pink sacred and purple rare items. If they could upgrade their own resurrection certificates to bishop certificates, they would even have a great opportunity to break through to the seventh level.
In particular, every time he met a priest, Lanqi would first criticize their work.
For example, now that the high priest sees that Milford’s affairs have gone wrong, he himself may be in great trouble.
Instead of doing this, he might as well try to win over other high priests and see if he can seize the opportunity and find a chance to backstab Asksan.
If these high priests with their own ulterior motives formed a team and went to the northern border province to find Asksan...
But Asksan, who was recuperating in the northern border province, never gave any order for anyone to come find him.
As soon as Asksan saw this group of great priests chasing after him for no apparent reason, he would definitely be on high alert towards them immediately!
In the eyes of the high priests, this was Asksan's reaction to their disloyalty.
These high priests were already guilty, and they all knew that Asksan would never let go of any traitors once they were discovered, so they had to rebel without hesitation.
The entire process is almost locked, and Asksan will kill all the high priests under his command one by one with his own hands.
In the end, Asksan might not even know why all his high priests rebelled. He had never even told the Son of Annihilation about the injuries he suffered in the north. Even if the Son of Annihilation betrayed him, it shouldn't have been like this.
This will weaken Asksan a little bit.
Just thinking about this, Xi De just smiled.
As the two of them were walking handcuffed down the corridor, Sid finally tugged at Lanqi's handcuffs.
"To be honest, I have discovered another shining point in you, which is of irreplaceable value to me."
Sid whispered.
"Oh? Tell me."
Lanqi also moved a little closer, listened to her words, and answered without changing his expression.
He still likes others to praise him sincerely.
"In the future, if I want to do something bad and feel a little guilty, I will talk to you and find that I am still a human being and can do it freely."
Sidhe told Lanqi his thoughts in a voice so low that it was barely audible, as if he was whispering to his deskmate in class.
"..."
Lanqi's expression became just a polite smile, as if he didn't hear Sid's words, and he took her to the platform.
I will probably update two to three chapters every day in November, and three chapters most of the time. I'm working hard to pay off my debts. Now I'm hungry and dizzy. I've finally finished coding and can go have dinner.
Chapter 364: The End of the Journey to Northern Lanqi
Rock Junction Station Base Layer.
Lanqi led silently, holding the handcuffs in his hand, the other end of the handcuffs tightly locked on a woman's slender wrist.
They walked through the secluded staircase, the metal parts of the handcuffs occasionally colliding and making crisp sounds, which were in perfect rhythm with the pace of their steps.
At the end of the passage is a slope leading to the platform level where sunlight shines.
Lanqi narrowed her eyes slightly, while Sid beside her lowered her head slightly, making it difficult to see her eyes at the moment.
The glass curtain wall canopy on the platform cast beams of natural light, which flashed in spots on the ground like scattered gold coins, and were occasionally stepped on by the two people's footsteps.
At this time, there were few passengers waiting on the platform. Some were sitting on the benches looking a little uneasy, while others were standing on the edge of the platform, looking into the distance in the direction of the tracks.
Before the two of them could stop completely, in the distance, the magic rail train at the end of the track had already entered the station with a roar and a series of carriages.
The shining metal texture of the car body and the reflection outside the window complement each other, and the steel seals on each carriage that quickly pass by in front of the eyes are the emblems of the Protoss Empire.
Lanqi and Sid stood in front of the painted line on the ground and waited.
Until the train gradually slowed down and stopped steadily, the door opened, and a faint transparent mist floated out from the inside of the carriage. The residual heat released by the magic energy regulator when working gradually dissipated.
"boarding."
Lanqi gave the order in a slightly cold voice.
Next, even without Lanqi using handcuffs to guide Sid, she naturally followed Lanqi's steps and stepped into the carriage.
She was silent and obedient like a puppet. Passengers in the distance dared not even glance over here, and could hardly imagine what the fate of this prisoner girl would be.
The two walked into the special carriage at the end of the magic rail train.
Unlike other carriages in front, this section is designed to be more solid and closed, with unique protection and privacy. The internal space, including the crew members, need to ask for permission before entering.
After entering an interior space in the carriage, the door behind you closed, making a heavy metallic collision sound that echoed in this wide space.
"Huh - off work!"
The two men came to the chairs and sat down, both of them leaning back quite loosely as if they had just finished a tiring journey.
Lanqi didn't want to move at all. He was really tired after working for Asksan for the whole morning.
"When will this be untied?"
Sid raised his right hand, which was resting on the armrest, and pulled up the handcuffs, making a jingling sound.
"We can untie it once the flight attendant brings us lunch. We need to do a good job on the surface."
After all, they were still officers carrying out their duties and escorting prisoners, so they had to pretend to be flawless until they could change to the next train and change their appearance back to normal.
However, having arrived here, I have finally ended my investigation trip in the northern part of the empire and can easily return to the familiar imperial capital of Helrom.
"Oh, it's been a rough road."
Lanqi sighed as if recalling what he had experienced over the past month.
