Chapter 361: Lanqi wonders why there is a lady who needs help here
The entrance to the Rock Junction Station concourse should have been in good order, but now it has fallen into a slight chaos for unknown reasons.
The Silent Priest's combat readiness actions were decisive and swift, and the alertness that flashed in his eyes revealed the importance of the mission at hand. Under the light, the cast iron and glass structure appeared particularly cold and hard in this sudden situation, reflecting the nervous faces of the passengers.
All eyes were focused on the two noble girls who were surrounded in front of the checkpoint.
"If you are not a suspect, Miss Miriam Milford, we promise not to harm you in the slightest, and we will release you as soon as possible after your innocence is proven."
The high priest who ordered them to stop bowed and said in a very polite manner.
“…”
The line of passengers at the rear stretched out in a winding path along the corridor, everyone was waiting, as if some kind of event was about to break out suddenly, and the mood of ordinary Imperial passengers, like the temperature in the station hall, was gradually dropping towards freezing point.
Not only Hyperion and Michela, but everyone in the distance knew that the promises made by the priests of the Silence branch were not credible at all.
In this silence, the air was broken by the sudden sound of fine wind, which was unusually clear.
The high priest did not raise his head, waiting for the two noble ladies in front of him to express their opinions.
"I will miss the opening hours of the Protoss Royal School of Magic, and you cannot arrest imperial nobles at will without evidence and an arrest warrant."
Even though Hyperion seemed to have no temper before, at this moment, the corners of her eyes tightened slightly, with a hint of resentment, and she could not accept the arrogance and unreasonableness of the Nirvana Branch.
"If we really have a problem, you can just bring legal documents from the Metropolitan Police Department and come to Helrom's school to arrest us. Regardless of whether we agree or not, the school will cooperate with you immediately."
Michela also took a half step forward, her voice even more forceful.
The two of them were scheduled to depart for the Imperial Capital Helrom at 11:00 noon. There was a gap of more than three hours between the two buses from Milford to Box Mountain Province and from Box Mountain to the Imperial Capital Helrom. Taking into account the time that might be spent on the transfer, Earl Milford left them enough time to rest and prepare.
However, if he was intercepted on a trip to the Knights of Annihilation, no matter what the result of the investigation was, he would definitely miss the originally booked train. In case he was detained for another day or two, and had to buy a ticket on the spur of the moment when he was released, he would most likely not be able to enter the Protoss Royal School of Magic for a week.
The school was a semi-closed school with strict rules. Students were not allowed to go out on weekdays. As a punishment and to maintain the credit assessment rules, students who did not return on time were not allowed to enter during the course.
"I'm sorry, we have priority in enforcing confidential matters related to the Northern War. If you need to sue us, please contact Earl Milford."
The high priest stared at Michela, his words still sounded polite, but his eyes had begun to suppress the coldness.
It was as if he was telling her that if she continued to make trouble, no matter if she was a countess or not, he would teach her a lesson she would never forget.
Hyperion immediately grabbed Michella's hand, tightened it a little, and pulled her behind her.
"Our Milford family has never offended your branch of Nirvana. Earl Milford will go to the imperial capital to participate in the election next week. Are you trying to drag Bishop Nirvana into the water by doing this?"
She no longer allowed Michela to respond to the high priest and questioned him personally.
“…”
There was a hint of hesitation in the high priest's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and became resolute.
"Even if Lord Milford will be disappointed in our Silent Branch because of this, I must keep her. It is my duty. Please forgive me."
He didn't give in at all.
If he had originally intended to take the power of the Earl of Milford's family into consideration, he was now ready to fall out with them.
“…”
Seeing the attitude of the Archbishop of the Nirvana Branch, Hyperion tensed up and grabbed Michela's hand.
If she wanted to run away now, it would probably be no problem for her to escape from Box Mountain Province by force, but this would definitely harm the Milford family who helped her forge her identity.
But if she followed their wishes and followed them into the temple of the Knights of Annihilation, if anything unexpected happened, she might not be able to escape. The more she was investigated, the more likely it was that something would be overlooked.
No matter what, it's a dead end.
"I'll go with you."
With her emotions extremely complicated, Hyperion finally sighed helplessly.
No matter what, no matter how important the mission she was tasked with, she could not abandon the Milford family for her own safety.
"I want to be with my sister."
Michela pursed her lips tightly, expressionless, and held Hyperion's arm, meaning she would never let go.
The high priest sneered. These two arrogant noble ladies had wasted so much of his time and energy. Now, even if Michela wanted to leave, there was no way he would let her go.
If these two people continue to maintain this attitude, then they must be properly tamed in the temple of the Knights of Annihilation. Even as hostages, Earl Milford can be made to vote for Bishop Annihilation without any mistakes.
By the time Bishop Annihilation was elected, the cooperation between the Protoss Empire and the Church of Resurrection was a foregone conclusion. Even if Earl Milford saw his two daughters being raped or killed, he had to swallow his anger.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Well, you two can go together."
The high priest signaled to the heavily armored knights behind him to take the two of them away, and many passengers queuing behind them consciously chose to temporarily step aside.
The passengers whose trains were leaving in a few hours had already left the waiting line and gone to other places, leaving only the passengers whose trains were leaving soon who were waiting with difficulty.
It should have been very anxious when encountering a traffic jam ahead during the transfer, but no one dared to say anything at this time.
In the quiet moment when the dust settled, what made Hyperion feel bitter was that she knew very well that she had not made any mistakes, and it seemed that this group of Silence Priests did not notice the omission, but caught her by accident.
Hyperion was too familiar with this kind of pure luck problem. No matter how she struggled, she could not eliminate the bad luck, and it would also affect the people who helped her. In the end, even her powerful father who had always protected her seemed to be affected by her bad luck and his whereabouts were unknown.
She always felt that she was a person condemned by God, and her luck in everything always leaned towards the worse side.
Until she met Lanqi, whose fate was a little too hard, all her bad luck seemed to turn into good luck, and this person seemed to carry all her luck.
Now that Lanqi is gone, that feeling of powerlessness comes over me again.
But it was no longer possible for her to shout Lanqi's name with all her might like she did at Purgatory Corridor Academy, and he would suddenly appear and come to save her.
My Goddess, what should I do now?
At this moment, the crowd that had huddled together dispersed again, as if a path had been cleared through them by the guards.
Hyperion's gloomy expression was attracted by the movement again, and she raised her eyes slightly.
"What are you doing?"
A leisurely voice tinged with confusion and impatience sounded.
It seemed that the checkpoint had been blocked for a long time, which made him feel that this was very unethical.
