Chapter 172: Lanqi's Farewell to Friends

Lichtens Castle, border of the Horning Empire in the shadow world.

Four days passed in a flash, and it was already the morning of the day when the shadow world ended.

The moon has set, and the morning glow begins to rise in the sky, like a piece of delicate silk, covering the sky.

At five o'clock in the morning, a picture of autumn morning mist is quietly unfolding in the field of vision at the top of the tower of Lichtenstein Castle.

The top of the castle tower soared into the clouds, piercing through the mist in the sky. Several young men and women stood quietly on the top of the tower, their figures looming in the dawn light.

The three people from the Civilized Model Team and the Chamber of Commerce were standing on the top of the castle tower, admiring the tranquility and beauty that was becoming less and less visible.

"Mr. Lanci, I hope to see you again."

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce has become an ambitious young man, just like a confused person who has found his direction and understood what kind of life he wants to live.

And Lanqi is his mentor and helpful friend.

"I don't know how long I have to wait."

Lanqi smiled lightly, standing on the top of the tower overlooking the forest under the stone railings, as if he could feel his connection with the earth. This was an experience brought about by a sudden enlightenment and a wonderful journey that was different from his daily life.

Although the young master of the Chamber of Commerce did not contribute much during the battle, he was the one who took the lead in cooperating with Ranch and Frey in the early stage of screening for traitors.

Since the distance between the Kingdom of Canberra and the Kingdom of Hutton is extremely far, the Kingdom of Canberra is in the western part of the southern continent, and the Kingdom of Hutton is in the easternmost part of the southern continent, so the ultra-long-distance communication magic between the two countries needs to transfer stations in several countries, and it would be difficult to contact each other normally.

"Maybe in two years?"

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce thought for a moment and said.

The United Kingdom Parliament holds its anniversary celebration in the Kingdom of Canberra every year, as well as a small celebration every five years and a large celebration every ten years. Two years later is the next ten-year celebration, which will be an extremely grand and large-scale celebration.

In addition to the large number of tourists from various countries in the Southern Continent, royal families, great nobles, leaders of the academic world, platinum-level magic crystal challengers registered with the Southern Continent Association, and card makers will all receive official invitations from the United Parliament of the Southern Continent Kingdoms to participate in the event as guests.

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce believed that Lanqi would not miss an event of this level, and they could meet again in the real world at that time.

"See you then."

Lanqi patted the young master of the Chamber of Commerce on the shoulder and said.

Two years later, if all goes well, he will retire.

It would be nice to travel to the Kingdom of Canberra at that time.

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce nodded.

After a moment of silence, he spoke again and asked, "Mr. Lanci, is there anything else you can teach me?"

He cherishes every opportunity to communicate with Lanqi.

"Pay more attention to the people around you. If you like her, don't keep her waiting for too long."

Lanqi just looked at the distant skyline, not looking at the young master of the Chamber of Commerce, and said.

Hearing this, Hyperion on the side suddenly felt a little stressed.

The last time I met Prince Enor and Sophia at the Card Creators Association, Lanqi said the same thing.

The result was that Enol almost hugged Lanqi on the spot, leaving Sophia there!

Just when Hyperion was worried.

The young master of the Chamber of Commerce turned around and looked at the guard sister.

Just looked at her quietly, saying nothing.

The guard sister was also stunned.

At this moment, on the high tower surrounded by morning mist, silence is louder than words.

The sun shines through the clouds onto Lichtens Castle, casting a golden glow on everything.

The mountains in the distance showed distinct layers of colors in the sunlight, and dewdrops sparkled on the nearby trees.

"Bye-Bye."

Lanqi said goodbye with a smile, and walked back to the fifth floor of the castle from the tower with Frey and Hyperion, leaving this fairy-tale environment to the two of them.

As we walked into the corridor, the temperature was noticeably warmer. The brisk footsteps bounced and echoed in the stone corridor, and a sense of joy filled the air.

Everyone moved carefully as they left, fearing to disturb the two men in the tower.

"This young master is not a piece of wood. He understands your words very well!"

Hyperion lowered her voice in surprise and said to Lanci.

Could it be that.

Is this guy really a little angel who likes to help others find marriage?

"I am best at mediating conflicts and disputes. Helping with matchmaking and socializing is not a problem. All kinds of civil issues are my strengths."

Lanqi smiled proudly, he just liked to give candy to others.

"……?"

Hyperion felt that Lanqi was a good young man no matter how she looked at him.

What went wrong?

"Mr. Lanci, thank you very much for taking care of us."

The Chamber of Commerce's male guards also followed them out of the tower and escorted them to the fifth-floor staircase, where they stopped and expressed their sincere gratitude to Lanqi.

"Goodbye."

"See you next time."

After saying goodbye.

Lanqi and the other two walked down the spiral staircase inlaid with mirror-like copper railings. Their relaxed footsteps echoed in the castle's stairwell, contrasting with the hourly bells coming from the church in the distance.

When passing the corner of the floor, the occasional bird calls from the distant window form a symphony of morning light.

Soon, they arrived at the foundation level of the castle.

At the end of the stairs, a solemn gate stood before them. The gilded patterns inlaid on the huge door shone with a sacred light under the reflection of the glazed windows.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by the faint scent of candles in the sanctuary.

In the church, three clergymen were performing morning prayers.

They knelt side by side in front of the altar under the rose window of the church, bowed their heads deeply, clasped their hands together, and recited prayers softly.

Every breath of air in the sanctuary is filled with a sense of peace and harmony. The huge chandelier hanging from the high ceiling appears even more solemn in the quiet environment. It is filled with natural light and illuminates the entire church.

The whispers of clergy, devout prayers, and the occasional flickering of candlelight make up the tranquility of this morning.

The three Lanci stood quietly by without disturbing their morning prayers. They watched the clergy praying attentively.

Until the end of morning prayer.

Three clergymen also walked towards them.

"It would be great if I have the chance to see you in the Northern Continent in the future."

The leading priest saluted and spoke.

They have important responsibilities.

And now that the northern continent is in turmoil, they cannot leave their posts without permission.

Only if you settle down in the future, there is a chance of being sent to the southern continent.

"Who knows, fate will guide everything."

Lanqi spread his hands and smiled.

“…”

Hyperion said nothing.

In fact, in three months, she and Lanqi will really go to the Northern Continent.

She just hoped not to meet these three people in the Northern Continent.

At that time, they will conceal their identities and disguise themselves as bandits. If the police and bandits meet, it will surely be very embarrassing.

Everyone was saying their final goodbyes.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There are only a few minutes left, and at 5:30 in the morning, the shadow world will end.

This dreamlike five-day vacation will finally come to an end.

"By the way, I'm going to go see the princess."

Lanqi looked at the clock and said.

"Go ahead, we'll see you in the critical space."

When the shadow world ends later, all challengers will return to the entrance of the void gate when they entered the shadow world according to their teams, and each team will enter a separate critical space to complete the settlement and reward distribution of the shadow world.

…

Bedroom 201, second floor of the castle.

Princess Alexia sat quietly on the bed, looking out the window.

The golden leaves were blown by the breeze, bringing the rustling sound of falling leaves. The morning mist was lingering around the castle, casting a mysterious veil over the valley and forest.

If possible, she actually didn't want this shadow world to end.

Because she didn't want to go back to that nightmare world full of vampires.

Even if she would be locked up in this room forever in this shadow world, she would be willing to do so, because this is where she feels safe.

Hearing the sound of the door being locked, she looked in surprise at the door that opened and Lanqi who walked in.

"Your Highness Alexia, I have to say goodbye to you for now."

Lanqi greeted her and also said goodbye.

"You came here alone?"

Alexia asked.

"I think if there are fewer people coming, it will make you feel more relaxed."

Lanci said with a smile.

“…”

Alexia hesitated for a moment.

Deep down, she really hoped that Lanqi would come alone, because Lanqi would see her crying the most.

"Actually, I usually look like a very cold princess. I only acted so casually because you saw me looking embarrassed."

She asked, spreading her hands, like a childish girl revealing a little secret.

"So if I still look indifferent when you meet me in private next time, it means there's danger."

When saying this.

Alexia seemed to have regained her aura of a superior princess, and even her expression became a little more stern.

Because she was also telling Lanqi—

If you have become a puppet of the vampires when we meet next time, don't trust her anymore.

"Princess Alexia, do not expose yourself, and do not submit to the vampires."

He answered immediately without a moment's hesitation.

This silenced Alexia.

It was like she couldn't speak.

a long time.

"Lancy Wilford."

"What's wrong?"

"I'll wait for you in the Kremlin Empire."

in other words.

It means praying for him to come.

But Alexia couldn't say "Please come and save me".

When you open your mouth, you have already expressed other words.

"I will definitely come."

The white shadow, Lanqi's back, had disappeared outside the door.

But this light and unhesitating voice could be heard clearly.

At the same time, as the hour hand of the cathedral clock pointed to half past five, time seemed to slow down in an instant, waiting for some kind of change to occur.

The princess of the Cretan Empire sat there in a daze.

She gently stretched out her hand toward the hazy shadow emerging in the white world, as if asking for help.

"This time, there is obviously no demon that affects my emotions, why..."

Although she was still imprisoned in a caged tower.

But there was already a glimmer of fragile hope in her heart.

Alexia murmured, desperately wiping away the tears that kept flowing from her blind eyes.

A clear light permeated the mist, and the entire castle began to rise like a bubble.

A tiny glimmer of dawn light, delicate and silent, slipped into the sanctuary through the dissipating walls.

This five-day and five-night [Temple Evil Dinner] has also reached its final settlement moment.

This chapter corresponds to the plots of the following volumes. The third volume is about the Cardinals of the Northern Continent.
