Hyperion said, looking at Michela with a smile.
She is not only a princess of the demon clan, but also the daughter of the Duke of Hutton Kingdom and a clergyman. Now she is disguised as the daughter of an earl. She has to be elegant and polite at all times, and remain calm no matter what happens.
This is the only thing that Hyperion is confident about.
……
at the same time.
In the heart of Helrom, a city that never sleeps, a towering skyscraper stands in the bustling downtown area. Its appearance is inconspicuous, but its presence cannot be ignored. Its top is equipped with rows of marquees, and the beams of light that cut through the darkness announce its identity as a media giant to every corner of the city.
This is the famous studio building of the Protoss Empire, the birthplace of Helrom Broadcasting Corporation programs, and the place where countless dreams and art converge.
The exterior of the studio building features a cool, dark glass curtain wall that reflects the light of the sky during the day and, at night, becomes a huge projection screen displaying the station's emblem signed with the Royal Charter of Helrom and clips of the programs being broadcast.
The entrance on the ground floor was crowded with people who wanted to be part of the live audience of the show. They held tickets in their hands, waiting for the uniformed guards at the door to let them in. The extra police officers assigned by the guard hall today had serious expressions and flashing badges on their chests, maintaining order in the Helrom Broadcasting Corporation building.
After tonight's show is over, they will have the task of further evacuating the crowd and escorting celebrities away from the congested downtown area.
But in the dressing room behind the scenes on the 21st floor of the Helrom Broadcasting Corporation building, the atmosphere was completely different.
Lanqi stood in front of the makeup mirror, quietly stroking the little black cat in his hand, waiting for the staff to invite him in.
At this moment, the lights in the dressing room seemed particularly dazzling, and Lanqi's figure was almost split into countless afterimages in the mirror, each of which carried a calm smile.
The air was filled with a heavy smell of foundation and perfume, which made the little black cat feel a little uncomfortable, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with him. His eyes penetrated the prosperity of Helrom outside the window, staring at the deeper meaning that only he could see.
"Meow meow……"
The cat boss fidgeted in Lanqi's hands and kept turning over and over.
"Boss Cat, don't you want to join me on the show later?"
Lanci asked with a smile.
He felt that Boss Cat actually wanted to see the world or see what's going on.
It is timid but very curious.
If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again.
The show he is going to participate in later, "The Helrom Late Show", was originally broadcast by the Helrom Broadcasting Company in 1754. Under the leadership of the first host, the program set the basic format of late-night talk shows, including opening stand-up comedy, celebrity interviews, comedy sketches, musical performances, etc.
Subsequent hosts added more personal style and emotional elements when they took over the show, making the show more focused on interviews and conversations, and bringing the show into its golden age. With the hosts' unique sense of humor and affinity, the show has also become a cultural symbol of Helrom's evening.
The program content is wide-ranging, covering a variety of areas including social issues, current politics, mental health, life stories and cultural topics.
The talk show will start on time at eight o'clock. Looking at the clock in the dressing room, the studio should be ready.
"Meow meow……"
The cat boss still looks like a crying cat.
For some reason, the makeup artist even tied a little bow tie on it.
The more it recognizes the current situation, the more it feels that it is irreversible. It has indeed never seen such a situation before.
Before coming to the Northern Continent, it never dreamed that one day it would reach this point.
It actually foolishly thought that this kid was just a little abnormal and wouldn't cause much trouble after leaving Ikerit Academy.
After more than two months, it finally understood what Lanci was without Hyperion tying him up.
There was a feeling of guilt that was about to kill the cat owner. Whenever he thought about how Xubo had told him the importance of keeping an eye on Lanqi, but the cat turned a deaf ear to his words, he felt that he had committed a serious sin.
"Don't worry. Didn't Hyperion tell me that if we get separated in the Empire, I can just go to a conspicuous place and wait for her. She will find me soon. I might even be able to meet her today."
Lanqi, always optimistic, gently stroked the cat boss over and over again.
"..."
The cat boss raised his head and stared at Lanqi with tearful eyes in silence for a long time.
Is it possible that she meant being prominent in a geographical sense, rather than making you so prominent?
In the end, it chose to be an ostrich cat and buried its head.
At this moment, its mentality has changed from praying that Xiubao would come back soon to praying that Xiubao would not come back.
Fortunately, the blockade in the north is strict. With Xiu Bao's strength, there is a high probability that he will not be able to escape back to the Protoss Empire!
Let's meet again in the Southern Continent!!
I was a bit overwhelmed by the four chapters yesterday, so I will take it slow today and add more chapters tomorrow to finish writing about the meeting between Ranch and Hyperion.
Chapter 372 Sigrid's Change of Mindset
At night, the streets in the northern area of the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic were surrounded by tranquility.
In the living room of Gloria's mansion, the heavy curtains next to the floor-to-ceiling windows were still closed, separating the night scene of the garden outside from the living space inside the house.
“Watch his show.”
Sigrid looked relaxed, leaning back on the sofa with anticipation as she turned on the projection screen on the wall of Gloria's living room.
"Your Excellency, he didn't do anything to you along the way, did he?"
Gloria asked worriedly and with a hint of timidity.
"what are you thinking about?"
Sigrid looked at Gloria coldly, causing her to shrink her neck and not dare to ask such questions again.
Gloria always felt that the relationship between the Bishop and the Son of God was a little different from before they set out for the north, or perhaps the Bishop had changed a little, but she couldn't tell what was different.
It was obvious that the last time the bishop sat here to watch the Son of God's monthly assessment day, he felt like he was standing aside and watching a show.
Now she sat in front of the screen waiting for the Son's show, more like she simply wanted to watch it.
Gloria also looked at the screen, which was still showing the preview of this episode, as well as the character introduction of Rocky McCarthy and some pre-interview content edited by Helrom Broadcasting Company about celebrity interviews.
In the video, Rocky McCarthy talks about how he built the educational model that achieved a 100% approval rate at the Protoss Royal School of Magic, and his success in the education industry.
Next, in a brief interview, he expressed his views as Governor-General on the current state of the Protossian Empire, especially regarding trade policy and foreign relations.
"Wait, how did he become a provincial governor?"
Gloria in the living room asked in astonishment.
“…It’s hard to describe in words.”
No matter what Lanci talked about in the interview today, Sigrid would not be surprised. He was now a political figure in the empire, not just a principal.
Rocky McCarthy's appointment was previously through unanimous nomination and local temporary recognition by the Snowfield Province, and all official letters and procedures were submitted by the Snowfield Province to the imperial capital. It had just passed the certification of the royal family and parliament of the Protoss Empire a few days ago. The official appointment letter is expected to arrive in the next few days.
So after receiving the news, Helrom Broadcasting Company immediately modified his character information.
Gloria stared at the screen blankly, feeling that it was all over.
This man seemed to be completely in the bishop's good zone. He seemed to have a real hope of helping the bishop realize the Catholic Church's long-cherished wish to control the Protoss Empire.
The more Gloria thought about it, the more worried she became. It was inevitable that it would rain and her mother would get married. But now, as she was waiting for the moment before the show began, Gloria had something even more worrying.
She sat down next to Sigrid and asked in a lowered voice:
"But what on earth was he thinking about the prison break?"
Gloria was already filled with worries about the current situation and didn't understand why the bishop could believe in the Son's words so much.
She heard the ridiculous conversation between the Son of God and the bishop when he left in the afternoon, and was so frightened that she dared not say a word.
Even if the principal could send a student into the prison through the cooperation project between the Protoss Royal School of Magic and Helrom Prison, there were few students in the school who had the ability to reach the deepest level of the prison.
It was an underground prison with no bottom. There had been only a few prison breaks in the hundred years since the founding of the Protoss Empire. Each floor was covered with ancient magic barriers and guarded by powerful wardens. The three great demons should have been imprisoned in the bottom three floors.
As a third-year student at the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic, Gloria knew much more about the school's optional subjects than Sigrid.
Students who have chosen the difficult graduation project "Herrom Prison Guard Assessment" will face huge life threats every minute and every second in Helrom Prison. If they want to go all the way down and get permission, they must constantly cross the barriers of life and death and face increasingly dangerous prisoners and wardens.
Moreover, the most difficult part is not just reaching the destination, but communicating with the demons.
There are almost no humans in this world who have the experience of dealing smoothly with orthodox demons. If the principal thinks that real demons are as gentle and harmless as his student Zestira, he is very wrong.
The brain and thinking patterns of every demon are completely different from those of humans. If you try to contact the demons with human thinking, you will only die miserably!
Even the Protoss Empire couldn't reach a cooperation agreement with the three arrogant demons. Even if Lanqi really had a way to impress any of the three demons, it would be extremely difficult to get them out of prison.
"I don't know either, but if he says it can be done, then it must be done."
Sigrid just stared at the screen and answered Gloria.
"Lord Sigrid, he won't want you to sneak in then, will he?"
Gloria became even more worried when she saw Sigrid's unconcerned look.
In Sigrid's current condition, she is definitely not suitable to go to such a dangerous place, and there is even a great risk of losing her life.
In other words, even if Sigrid in her prime went to the depths of that prison, one mistake could result in her being locked up there forever.
"Logically, I'm the best candidate, because he has to stay in the school to hold the warden back."
Sigrid thought for a moment and said.
She remembered that Lanqi had said before in the Snowfield Province that he had invited the warden of the Helrom Prison to come to the Protoss Royal Magic Academy to discuss the campus plan and the cooperation project with the Snowfield Province Prison, which was just enough to keep track of the warden's movements.
This made Gloria stunned.
"No, absolutely not. You can't take this risk. The demons won't listen to you."
Although Gloria knew that if the Protoss Royal Magic Academy could get three eighth-level great demons to join, no matter which level of the eighth level they were at, the Protoss Royal Magic Academy would be as powerful as any branch of the Resurrection Church. Even if the Tyrant branch was now exhausted, the Son of God would have enough cards to fight against Asksan.
But the problem was that this plan made her see no possibility of success.
"Let's see how he arranges it. For now, I just need to listen to him."
Sigrid spread her hands, as if she had given up thinking and got used to the ease of sharing a mental network with Lanqi.
"Oh? The show has started."
When Sigrid caught a glimpse of the show's opening, she immediately forgot about the serious conversation she was having with Gloria and focused all her attention on the screen.
Gloria, who was standing by, looked at Sigrid's profile with a smile on her face, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
If this man really has the ability to do what he says and defeat Asksan, then she will support the Bishop and the Son of God to be together, and she will even find a way to lead the great priests of the Tyrant branch to bring the two together.
