Chapter 306: Lanqi’s public and private affairs are clearly divided

Yanhezi Mountain is one of the transportation hubs in the northern part of the Protoss Empire.

Surrounded by rolling mountains, a winding river runs through the city, bringing endless vitality to the city when spring comes.

The architectural style is deeply influenced by mountain elements, using stone and wood as the main materials, cleverly blending into the surrounding natural landscape.

But the weather this year is weird and exceptionally cold.

Even the cities in the southern part of the empire, which are usually warm all year round, are said to have started snowing at the beginning of winter.

It is already early March, and there is still no sign of the cold wave receding. There is even heavy snowfall from time to time, dyeing most of the city's buildings white, blending perfectly with the surrounding snow scenery and icy mountains.

The Magic Train Station in Box Mountain is located on the westernmost side of the city-state. It is called "Rock Junction" and is one of the busiest transportation hubs in the entire city-state and even in the north. The building itself is a masterpiece of ingenuity, combining modern technology with traditional stone processing methods, making it both sturdy and able to isolate from the cold wind.

On the rails at the station, the sound of brakes and the friction between the wheels and rails gradually became louder.

A magic train coming from the south sped into the platform.

Inside the carriage, next to the front window seat.

"It seems that this is already a restricted area."

Lanqi closed the book in his hand with one hand, put it away, and muttered to himself as he looked out the window at the scenery that was gradually slowing down.

According to the itinerary, the two of them should get off in this city, and then transfer to the next train after passing inspection.

In other words, all passengers coming to this station have only two options after their passes have been checked for identity.

Continuing northwards is the northern border front.

Turning west, you will arrive at the Northwestern Province, which is also the province bordering the Kingdom of Aethertalan.

"To be honest, even I have never been here."

Sid yawned and covered his mouth.

When the three bishops chose to preach, the Catholic Bishop chose the relatively stable and conservative south bank, while the Bishop of Silence chose the most chaotic and close to the front line north-west of the imperial capital, and the Bishop of Mourning chose the richer east side of the imperial capital where the aristocratic forces were the most complex.

Almost one third each, with the imperial capital Helrom as the intersection point.

From the time Lanqi and Sid started heading north, they no longer saw the priests of the Silver Armor Tyrant branch. Instead, they saw the priests of Silence dressed mainly in dark grey and the priests of Mourning dressed mainly in dark blue. When they reached the restricted area a little further north, they saw only the priests of Silence.

"Why didn't you choose the east?"

Lanci asked curiously.

Although these are issues that should not be discussed casually in public, it is not a problem because other people will not understand what they are saying.

"The nobles in the east are very powerful and have many strong men. Their relationships and factions are very stable. If we go there, we either have to curry favor with the nobles or reach a number of cooperative relationships with them."

Sid said, crossing his arms.

There is still more than a month left before the public election in the imperial capital, and a large portion of the votes are in the hands of the nobles in the House of Lords and the officials in the House of Commons.

Although Vote East clearly has a big advantage in the total number of key votes.

But she was obviously not the type of person who was willing to talk nicely to the powerful people in the empire. If the other party dared to go too far, she might accidentally kill the noble.

Anyway, even if there is a family with an eighth-level guardian, she can kill them if she wants to, and no one can stop her.

But if she did so, her plan to become the person in charge of the Church of Resurrection in the Protoss Empire would almost certainly be ruined.

She would rather choose the north than the east.

“I see.”

Lanqi nodded, he thought so too.

At present, it seems that with the help of this pioneer, even if the Catholic Church does nothing, it can still gain the support of a large number of nobles and officials in the south.

The key is to understand the specific development of the Nirvana branch in the north and the Mourning branch in the east.

The situation in the east is relatively easy, as there are informants from the Tyrant branch who are investigating and reporting the situation in real time.

In the north where the news was blocked, even if the Tyrant Priest in charge of intelligence was sent over, the transmission of news was seriously delayed.

So Sigrid, as a Catholic hegemon, simply came to take a look herself.

More importantly, if the two of them could cause trouble, it could deal a serious blow to the reputation of the Silent Branch in the north.

"Speaking of those imperial noble forces in the east, what is their attitude towards the war?"

Lanqi was not sure whether what he had learned about the situation in the east was true. After all, some inside information could not be obtained just by asking.

After all, Sigrid chose the south, so she should be more aware of the differences between the three lands of the empire.

Lanqi also heard that some great nobles needed to rely on war to consolidate their status. After all, the status of some families was based on military force. He also heard that those great nobles wanted to trick each other, but in the end they all lost face. He also heard that some families had already been operating military industries and were just waiting for the war to start.

"Both, but once the war breaks out, most of the nobles in the east will be the kind that completely hold us back. For them, their own interests are always the most important, so it's not wrong to say that they are essentially anti-war."

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

“…”

"I don't want to deal with those nobles, so I might as well choose the more resolute conservatives in the south."

Sigrid obviously looked down on those powerful people in the east, and was not interested in their power and wealth.

But she thought about it again, and looked at Lanqi beside her with more spirit in her eyes.

"Logically speaking, after a while, the nobles in the east might know the name Rocky McCarthy."

"Why?"

"But many nobles want to enroll their children in the Protoss Royal School of Magic, the best school in the Protoss Empire."

If you heard that Rocky McCarthy is the current principal, you would give him some face.

"I have always kept my public and private affairs separate. Don't expect me to use my authority to help you do something convenient."

Lanci reminded.

He didn't want his sacred profession to be abused by Sigrid.

Public is public, private is private.

The Protoss Royal School of Magic is his personal property and should not be used for official business of the Tyrant branch.

"Tsk, the favorability has dropped."

Sid smacked his lips.

"Hey, didn't you say that the character of Sid is separate from you? Why did you lower Sid's favorability?"

Lanqi opened his eyes wide and said in surprise.

"Because Sid is a very willful girl."

“…”

Lanqi wanted to complain but stopped.

He actually wanted to ask about Ba Jiao's real age, but he was afraid that when he asked this question, Xi De would quit the team. —— ps: There is an Easter egg chapter in the front, Lanqi, Hyperion, An Frey, the cat boss, and the big love doll
