Chapter 304 Lan Qi obviously has no ambitions
When the sound of conversation pauses, the thoughts that originally flowed between the words are sealed, giving people the illusion that time has stood still.
The only sound left in the silent office was the slight ticking of the clock and the crisp sound of drizzle hitting the glass outside the window, which became particularly clear in this quiet principal's office.
The books on the desk seem to be immersed in this tranquility. The copper table lamp nearby trembles slightly, casting warm yellow light and shadow on the tabletop, which blends with the deep wood grain to create a tranquil color.
Chloris just stared at Lan Qi's desk and thought deeply.
“So, Croliss, is there something that's bothering you and do you need my help?”
Lanqi picked up the teacup that was still a little warm, put it to his mouth and sipped it slightly.
Chloris raised her head slightly.
“I want to form an alliance with Mr. Rocky McCarthy to prevent this war in the Empire.”
She answered straightforwardly.
"As far as I know, although Duke Morotian cannot be completely regarded as a militant, your family should be more inclined to the militant side, right?"
Lanqi was willing to believe Xiduo. After all, he didn't even have any ill intentions towards Zestila. More importantly, his disgust for war could be seen in his communication with him and between the lines of his works.
But as for the princess, Lan Qi is still not sure of her position.
“My father has actually disappeared a long time ago, and the Duke Molotian on the stage now is actually the medicine man controlled by me.”
Chloris sighed and said.
The showdown with Cloris.
This time even Lan Qi was stunned, the teacup hanging in the air.
He was not just shocked that Princess Cloris made such a shocking statement and directly revealed this matter to him, but that she dared to do this thing itself.
No wonder when Zestila and Zestila first came to the imperial capital of Herrom, they had already heard that Duke Morodian was now refusing any visits from the [Original Slate - Undead] and relied on credits from Protos Royal Academy of Magic. Points can only be found to find the [Original Slate-Light] of the great sage Isis of the empire.
It turns out that [Original Slate - Undead] does not exist at all.
"You are calmer than I thought. Don't you question how the Duke, the holder of the tablet, could disappear?"
Chloris observed Lan Qi's reaction, laughed, and asked.
Actually, she didn't need to joke at all. As for the authenticity, she could easily show it to Lan Qi as long as she went to the Duke's Palace with her.
“For a girl whose father is missing, I would choose to believe her first rather than question her. After all, she is the one who bears the most responsibility.”
Lan Qi put down the teacup, regained his composure, and spoke with conviction.
Chloris looked at Lanqi and was silent for a moment.
The conversation with Lan Qi seemed to be the most surprising one for her.
“Do you have any clues about the mystery of the Duke's disappearance?”
Lanci asked.
"No, except that I am convinced that he lost contact with me in the north. The clues are so clean that it is incredible. This is also the reason why I was able to conceal the fact that the Duke was missing."
Chloris shook her head.
Lan Qi nodded when he heard this.
In fact, theoretically speaking, Hyperion could have done this when Duke Milaya disappeared. If he made a mistake, he would be doomed, and Hyperion could not do such a thing at all.
Not even for a moment mourning the disappearance of her father, but taking control of all the power of the family immediately. It can only be said that Cloris is much more ruthless than Hyperion, and she has a kind of courage that ordinary people don't have.
Thinking about it carefully, this step taken by Princess Cloris may have directly changed the current structure of the Protos Empire.
If Duke Morotian disappears at a very bad time, people will rely more on the Church of Resurrection, and the panic will be even greater, which is extremely easy to explode. Although it seems that Duke Molotian is one of the emboldens supporting the war faction, in fact he is also a key pillar in maintaining the current balance of the Protos Empire.
The fuse of the war in the Protos Empire was originally caused by fear and resentment. Duke Morodian, as an existence that can suppress fear, cannot disappear.
“What are you going to do next?”
Lanchi looked at Cloris again and asked.
Her position is very clear, it can even be said that it cannot be clearer. She must oppose the war.
There is no way to stop the fire. Once the war really comes, the Duke's affairs will be exposed, and Crolis's behavior will be burdened with serious crimes and irreparable public backlash, and she will be irreversible.
She chose to temporarily deceive the empire to take over this power, which would bring her great initiative, but she also had to bet that winning this initiative would give her a chance of overthrowing those behind the scenes.
The person behind the scenes will naturally not expose her. If the person behind the scenes tries to expose her in any way, there is a risk of being caught and exposed. Going from darkness to light too early is the last thing that those who spend great efforts to control the situation want to see. .
Chlorisse has calculated all this accurately, it is both a game and a big gamble.
I'm afraid even the person behind the scenes didn't expect that she would dare to play like this.
"Maybe I can keep dragging it on, but I believe someone won't let me drag it on. I guess it will take more than a month at most. When the cooperation between the Church of Resurrection and the Empire is completely completed, even if Duke Morodian is missing, The backbone will also be filled in, and an evenly matched war can begin."
Chloris said with the same heartless look. Even though she was the one in the most dangerous situation, she still looked like the matter had nothing to do with her.
“So what do you hope I can help you with?”
Lanci is convinced that Cloris is an excellent partner.
At this point, if their positions are consistent and mutually beneficial, then the deal is likely to be concluded.
The good news is that her power now is even greater than he imagined. She controls the entire Duke's family. The bad news is that if you cooperate with her, you have to accompany her to make a desperate move.
Either you will be a sinner for the rest of your life if you lose, or you will be a light for all eternity if you win.
"There are not many directions for investigation at the moment... But since you firmly believe that those guys are not demons, I would like to ask you to go to the north to investigate. Although the hope is slim, as long as you can catch any evidence and bring it back, Xi and I will Associate professor Duo can use all the channels of the Duke's family to expose it, and accordingly, our Duke's family will also be your backing in the future.”
Chloris spoke slowly.
“The difficulty is that you need to find a way to get a pass to the northern defense line. The north is not only blocked by communications, but also needs a pass issued by the Imperial Defense Department.”
She then added.
Obviously, this was the only thing she couldn't do to help Lan Qi. If he had been involved with the Duke's family when he set out, it would have been quite dangerous to go north.
In the imperial capital of Herrom, there is the great sage of the empire Isis and other eighth-level powerhouses who are stationed there. Even if the enemy wants to cause chaos, they will only face greater risks, but it is different in the north.
"I have a pass, no problem. I just have official business to go to the north to do."
Lan Qi leaned back on the chair calmly and said.
He has the calmness and dignity of a principal.
Even so, Xi Duo, who was sitting next to the sofa, still had his eyes twitching.
Because Lan Qi gave him a feeling at this moment that "he has all kinds of documents on his body", often this kind of overly reliable person would make people think that he is not doing serious work.
“Then please, Principal Lodge.”
Chloris stood up, smiled and saluted Lanqi again.
Although she didn't have much expectation that Lan Qi would be able to dig out any big materials when she went to the north.
However, if he can really bring something back, he may soon be on the cover of "Empire Weekly", there will be many interviews and speeches, and even the countries far north will pay attention to Rocky Macca. This person in the west.
It's a pity that these reputations don't mean much to him.
He seems to be too wantless, or without any ambition.
Perhaps this is the loneliness in him. Even if he has accomplished great achievements, no one can share this joy with him.
