Although the Protos Empire still chooses to cooperate deeply with the Church of Resurrection, or more accurately it should be called cooperation with the Tyrant branch.
But this country also strangely does not reject the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. Everyone from the people to the powerful have the highest respect for the priests of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.
"You don't look like you have much work to do today?"
Pranai saw Lanchi finishing the tea leisurely and poured him another cup.
"Yes, the work that needs to be done is basically done. We can prepare for our trip back to the Southern Continent."
Lan Qi took the teacup and put it in his hand, thanked him and replied,
"After returning to the Southern Continent, your main job is to protect Hyperion who lives in Boss Cat's restaurant. For example, if you see someone coming to the restaurant to cause trouble, just help stop them. Of course, eating the Overlord meal is absolutely not allowed. Allowed."
There had been a situation where a killer chased him to the Cat Boss restaurant and was stopped by Talia.
The vampires and the Church of Resurrection in the Southern Continent seem to have reasons for killing Hyperion, and her Death Star will only become stronger each time.
Although I brought her to the Northern Continent for half a year, I might have temporarily avoided one or two death crises.
But the backlog of death omens will not disappear, they will only come in one fell swoop.
After thinking about it, Lan Qi still felt uneasy.
From now on, there will be four big demons in Boss Cat's restaurant, so they should be able to protect Hyperion.
As well as giving her a homely feel.
Hyperion had taken the magic rail train back to Milford Territory in the Northwest Province a few days ago.
Before returning to the Southern Continent, she will first go to Gedaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Estherland, to report the process and results of this mission to her teacher, the Snow Witch, and then the Church of Destiny will make arrangements for her. Return route.
Even if Antanas cannot be brought back to the Kingdom of Estherland, the Protos Empire has no intention of going to war, and the two giant countries on the southern coast of the northern continent are preparing for peace talks.
In about a week, Hyperion will take a boat from the border of the Kingdom of Estherland to the southern coast of the Protos Empire.
Lan Qi will also take Boss Cat and the big demons to join Hyperion at the appointed time and take a boat back to the Southern Continent.
It seems like it took a while...
Lan Qi looked at the calendar and thought.
By the time he and Hyperion return, the semester at Icerite College may be almost over.
When Dean Loren approved the project and stamped it, he said that the two of them could delay their return for up to two months. If they exceeded this time limit, they would risk being dropped from school.
The two-month extension, plus the three-and-a-half-month vacation, gives a total of five-and-a-half months of allowed time for the project. Normally, even a search trip to the Northern Continent would be enough.
Including the round trip, they expected it would take more than half a year.
However, he and Hyperion slightly overfulfilled their task this time, which Dean Loren should be able to understand.
"I understand, you can reassure the restaurant owner about the security of the restaurant."
Pranay saluted and responded.
"Speaking of which, will one day all the seven great demons gather at Boss Cat's restaurant? That's more than half of it."
Lan Qi held her chin and couldn't help but think.
It is said that there were seven great demons who survived the demon world back then, and now four of them are living a comfortable life.
If possible, Lanqi hopes to get all of Talia's friends back.
She will be very happy.
"First of all, it is unlikely that Artemis of Ice and Snow would come to a restaurant next to a school. That guy is already the chosen saint of the Church of Destiny. She should not be so free that she would put down her official duties and come to visit the Southern Continent."
Pranay shook his head,
"As for the remaining two great demons, there are no clues at all."
"Who is the last big demon?"
Lan Qi sipped her tea and asked thoughtfully.
The Ice Witch said that she was an anti-war faction, and Thalia and her sister Ifatia were anti-war factions. In addition to the three conservatives in the Imperial Prison, there was also a surrender faction.
"He was the weakest general at that time. He was mainly responsible for intelligence work in the rear. Although he has a good relationship with us, his identity is unknown. No demon has seen his true face. Even his name may be fake. of."
Pranay seemed to have a headache just thinking about that demon.
"Then isn't he the strongest among all the surviving great demons?"
Lan Qi said in surprise.
After all, he is a general, not a civil servant.
"If Princess Ifatiya didn't show off, she might be better than him. The second princess's talent is exaggerated, but if you ask her to study or work, it will be more uncomfortable than killing her."
Pranay sighs.
"..."
Lan Qi thought it was quite cruel.
The second princess has no interest, and the eldest princess has no talent.
But it doesn’t matter!
The eldest princess still has merit.
Her good appetite means she is in good health and will surely live a long life. Some time ago, Antanas and I found out about Talia's true age and found that her eight hundredth birthday was coming soon, so we had to give her a good celebration then. .
"..."
Pranay was about to say something, but decided against it.
Chapter 485 Lanqi’s leisurely morning
The antique clock in the office ticked slightly and regularly, and the hands had just crossed nine o'clock.
Lan Qi didn't pay attention to time, and was completely out of tune with the spring sunshine outside. He just passed the morning time leisurely, and everything around him seemed peaceful and orderly because of him.
Until there was a gentle knock on the office door, and Pranay's voice came from outside: "Mr. Lodge, please see Miss Crolis."
"Please come in."
Lan Qi raised his head and looked at the door, his voice was calm and kind.
The door slowly opened, and Pranay was seen standing respectfully at the door. Then, a woman with extraordinary temperament walked in.
She was still wearing an aristocratic hunting dress and slim trousers, and her long, finely braided hair rested on her shoulders, but it was more formal than before.
"Principal Rocky, I haven't seen you for more than a month."
Princess Cloris took off her top hat, sat across from Lan Qi's desk, and sighed.
Her bright aura seemed to bring a breath of fresh air and floral fragrance. Even though it was a sunny spring day outside, her arrival seemed to make the entire office brighter.
"Being locked up in the Duke's Palace during this period of time is really hard."
Lan Qi stood up with a smile and raised his hand to signal Princess Cloris to go to the meeting area on the left side of the office.
In the past, as principals, they could sit at their desks and talk slowly when talking to students, but now it is not appropriate.
"Yeah, every day I don't know whether I can survive to the next day. It all depends on whether I bet correctly. But luckily, judging from the result, I have won a big victory."
Cloris spread her hands and said.
It was completely impossible to tell that she was a woman who had just experienced the edge of life and death for several decades.
After the two sat down on the sofa in the meeting area, Pranay turned around lightly and walked to the cabinet on the side. He opened the drawer, took out a small bag of selected tea leaves, and began to prepare tea for Crolis.
Lan Qi quietly watched Pranay making tea, and couldn't help but sigh at this peaceful and pleasant daily life.
After these few months of relatively intensive work, he was free and relaxed.
As Pranai brought freshly brewed scented tea to the two of them, he excused himself again and gently closed the office door for them.
"Since when did our school have such a great teacher?"
Cloris felt that she had been under house arrest for just over a month. She did not expect that such a professor, whom she had never seen before and could not understand at all, would appear.
"Maybe he was always there, but no one noticed."
Lan Qi replied with a smile.
"That's it."
Cloris seemed to have figured out something, but she wouldn't tell her if she saw through it.
"I heard that His Majesty Franklin III invited you to dinner yesterday."
She picked up the tea cup, looked at the principal with interest, and asked.
"It's true."
Lan Qi nodded.
In fact, the Emperor of the Protos Empire was also frightened on the day of the bishop's election.
In other words, Franklin III has never felt at ease in the past few months.
Until Rocky McCarthy appeared and helped him settle everything.
This dinner also had some hidden meanings. For example, the emperor hoped that he could ignore public opinion and continue to lead the Protos Empire.
Lan Qi talked for a long time with His Majesty the Emperor of the Protos Empire.
Although Rocky McCarthy is too close to the Hegemony Catholic Church, many imperial dignitaries are not willing to see Rocky McCarthy hold too much power anymore. To avoid suspicion, he should not Actively seeking too much power.
However, the emperor still expressed his trust in Ranchi and hoped that he would not mind the prejudices of other political parties in the empire.
Lanci knew that this appointment might be partly at Isis's request, and the emperor was quite nervous when he had dinner with him.
However, after gradual exchanges, Emperor Franklin III slowly opened his heart to Lan Qi.
Franklin III admitted that he was also afraid of Rocky McCarthy. Many people felt that Rocky McCarthy was a being that ordinary creatures could not understand.
But instead of betting everything on the unknown, it's better to bet everything on a capable person.
Among the information that has not yet been made public, the investigation results are that Duke Morotian and Bishop Asksan of Annihilation led such a conspiracy, hoping to trigger a war and cause a large number of deaths, helping Morotian to absorb the souls of living beings. Promoted to ninth level.
Once Duke Morotian's conspiracy succeeds, not only the northern front provinces of the empire will be devastated, but the northern countries will also become a place for feasting after the carnival of the two inhumane masterminds.
