Don't Confiscate My Citizenship Chapter 484

Chapter 484: A few things after the decisive battle in Herrom

In the imperial capital of Herom, on the northernmost side of the Royal Academy of Magic in Protos, the Red Mondstadt Administration Building stands tall.

 The windows are lightly covered with an almost transparent film of leaves, and the morning sunlight shines through them, softly and warmly falling on the interior like thin golden threads.

 The whole office is filled with the fragrance of spring flowers coming from the window, which is a gift from time and nature.

The room at this moment seems much emptier than before.

 Many documents on many bookshelves have been cleared, like an office whose owner is about to move out.

 Lanchi sat alone in his spacious office, staring at the ancient book of Protos.

 The principal is a conscientious person, and it is rare to see him spending time in the office in a leisurely manner.

More than ten days have passed since the election of Bishop Protus, which caused great turmoil.

These few days will also be his last days in the Protos Empire.

"Hello."

With a slight knock on the door, the door slowly opened, and a wave of fragrance poured in.

Wearing a regular Protos-style suit and holding a tray in his hand, Pranay walked elegantly into Ranchi's office.

　　"Please use Helrom's linden flower tea."

  He gently placed the tea cup with a classic pattern in the right place beside Lan Qi.

 Lanqi closed the heavy book in his hand, placed it next to his desk, and raised his tea cup to taste it.

It seems that Pranay added a little honey, salt and lemon juice to the linden flower tea, which will not make it sour, leaving only a fresh taste, which is exactly in line with his mood at the moment.

“Pranai, thank you. We are leaving in two days, so why bother to accompany me?”

Lan Qi responded softly, with a relaxed expression on his face, and leaned back on the office chair.

The three big demons have also had less work recently. Only one big demon works as the secretary to the principal at Protos Royal Academy of Magic every day, and the other two can freely play in the imperial capital of Herom.

In a few days, Lan Qi will take them to leave the Northern Continent, so in their opinion, this is a rare Northern Continent vacation.

If the guardian Antanas was accompanying Lan Qi, he would chat with him non-stop, just like having a sparrow by his side.

Hinola, the lawbreaker, will be quite quiet, but extremely reserved. Calling her name suddenly may scare her into taking two steps back.

 It is most natural to get along with the Pranay of truth. Whether it is work ability or etiquette, it is impeccable.

The person in charge of being the secretary today happens to be Pranay.

"No."

Pranay shook his head,

 “I'd be happy to stay with you for however long it takes.”

His handsome face had a slightly half-smiling expression.

 The smiles of demons are often like this.

It's hard to tell whether it's a real smile or a fake smile.

 But no matter what, it is more comfortable to get along with a demon who can laugh than with a demon who never laughs.

“King, are you thinking of someone?”

Pranai asked as he observed Lanqi's satisfied expression while drinking tea.

　　　　guess it.”

 Lanqi is very free today anyway.

 “Thalia?”

Pranay replied.

Lanchi was in a daze. He didn't know why Pranay guessed it correctly. He looked up at Pranay.

"There are only three women you may be thinking of, but the expressions when you think of the three are different. If there is a hint of sarcasm in your smile, first of all, it cannot be the second princess you respect the most, and secondly, it is not the second princess you respect the most. If it's Miss Sigrid, then it's most likely Thalia.”

Pranay explained for Ranchi.

 In fact, he discovered that if his inference was correct, then Wang thought of Thalia very frequently. He would think of Thalia almost once or even several times every day.

 Although this may not be love, Wang and Thalia always feel like a pair of enemies.

The only thing that worries Pranay is that according to Thalia's temper, Wang's behavior may be a bit dangerous. Sooner or later, she will understand what Wang is thinking.

But it should be fine.

 The king is very strong and is unlikely to cause any trouble.

Pranay couldn't imagine the scene where Talia and Wang exploded together.

 Lan Qi drank scented tea and remained silent.

He never thought that Pranai could reason out this.

 Lanchi quickly adjusted his thoughts and decided to think of something happy. He coughed twice and asked Pranai again:

 “Guess who I'm thinking about right now?”

 “Miss Sigrid?”

Pranai thought for a while and asked.

 “How did you reason it out?”

Lan Qi looked at the glass of the bookcase and looked at his expression reflected in it, wondering where the flaw was.

“This time it's actually obvious and no reasoning is needed because you smile so naturally.”

Pranay replied with a smile.

 Sometimes people's smiles are invisible to themselves.

It's just that Pranay had never thought before that the king would show such an expression that looked very human.

 “Is that so?”

Lanqi continued to sip the tea.

Pranay did guess right both times.

Of course, it is also possible that the comparison between Thalia and Sigrid is too obvious.

  No matter what Sigrid thinks, she is a woman who will be extremely popular.

 Lanci has not seen Sigrid for more than a week.

 The day of the episcopal election ended with the defeat of Duke Morotian.

 Several strong men worked together in Helrom to successfully intercept and kill Duke Molotian. Although the pursuit battle of Duke Molotian that day caused some damage to the city, it was less than expected.

  Duke Molotian did not want to give the Protos Empire any chance to capture him.

Correspondingly, if we must try to forcibly capture Duke Morotian, the eighth-level strongest man with the original stone tablet, regardless of the unpredictable success rate, and extend the battle line, I am afraid that Herrom will no longer be there.

After the execution of Duke Molotian, Sigrid assisted the Protos Empire military in starting a series of urgent northern investigations at the request of the Great Sage Isis.

 Coupled with the fact that Sigrid, as the hegemonic Catholic Church, has become a true partner of the Protos Empire as she wished, the future affairs will be even more busy.

The last time Lan Qi saw her was in the afternoon when the bishop election ended. She found Lan Qi and asked Lan Qi to wait for her, and then left with the great sage Isis.

 The period of time that follows.

News about the Protos Empire is everywhere.

But during this period of great success, Lanci refused all interviews and expressed his intention to gradually downplay himself on the stage of Herrom.

So he resumed his daily work at Protos Royal Academy of Magic.

On the other hand, the great priest Loren became the object of praise...

There was even a scoring session for Bishop Protus on the Helrom Broadcasting Company. The intrusive high priest Loren became the only character rated by hundreds of thousands of citizens and received a 10-point rating. Many people began to use the idea of ​​​​the reincarnation of the benevolent and righteous Holy Emperor. Describe him.

Lan Qi remembered that Loren also admired this ancient emperor. If he heard others describe him like this, he would definitely be very happy.

At present, 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 has also strangely not rejected the Church of Destiny. Everyone from the people to the powerful have the highest respect for the priests of the Church of Destiny.

“You don't look like you have much work to do today?”

Pranay saw Lanchi finishing his tea leisurely and poured him another cup.

“Yes, the work that needs to be done is basically done, and we can prepare for our trip back to the Southern Continent.”

Lanqi took the tea cup 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 was a situation where a killer chased him to the Cat Boss restaurant and was stopped by Talia.

The vampires in the southern continent and the Church of Resurrection seem to have reasons to kill Hyperion, and her death star will only become stronger each time.

　　Although I brought her to the Northern Continent for half a year, I may have temporarily avoided one or two death crises.

 But the backlog of Death Stars will not disappear, they will only come in one fell swoop.

 Lan Qi still felt uneasy after thinking about it.

From now on, there will be four big demons in Mr. Cat's restaurant, so they should be able to protect Hyperion.

 And give her a homely feeling.

Hyperion took 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 tendency to go to war, and the two giant countries on the southern coast of the northern continent are preparing for peace talks.

About a week later, 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's been a while…

Lan Qi looked at the calendar and thought.

 By the time he and Hyperion go back, the semester at Icerite College may be almost over.

 When Dean Loren approved the project, 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 the school.

 The two-month extension, plus the three-and-half-month vacation, gives a total of five-and-half months of allowed time for the project. Normally, even a search trip to the Northern Continent would be enough.

　In fact, including the round trip, they expected it to take more than half a year.

However, he and Hyperion slightly overfulfilled their task this time, and Dean Loren should be able to understand that.

“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.”

Lanchi 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's 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 shouldn't be free enough to put down her official duties and come to the Southern Continent to visit.”

Pranay shook his head,

“As for the remaining two great demons, there are no clues at all.”

“Who is the last great demon?”

Lan Qi sipped her tea and asked thoughtfully.

The Snow Witch said that she herself was a war resister, and Thalia and her sister Ifatia were war resisters. 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."

Pranai 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.

 At any rate, he is a general, not a civil servant.

"If Princess Ifatia doesn'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 sighed.

Lan Qi thinks it's 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.

She has a good appetite, which 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 not to.
