Chapter 368 Lanqi's Business Ability
In the living room of Gloria's mansion, the dark floor-length curtains had been drawn. It was a little dim and quiet in the afternoon. The only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the wall clock in the corner.
Lanci and Sigrid didn't say anything, but just exchanged glances. Gloria became even more nervous and remained silent, waiting for them to speak.
"I have to leave for the Helrom Broadcasting Company in about fifteen minutes. When I come back, I will go to see Princess Cloris Berenhard. She can provide us with a lot of help."
Lanqi finally looked at the clock in the living room and spoke again to Sigrid and Gloria.
The talk show is coming up tonight, which will help expand his influence in the Protoss Empire and allow more Protoss people who have only heard of him but have never had any specific contact with him to get to know Rocky McCarthy better.
Before setting out from the Protoss Royal School of Magic to the north, Lanqi had formed an alliance with Miss Duchess Chloris.
She provided him with intelligence and assistance, and he needed to help her investigate intelligence from the dangerous north.
Although the intelligence that Lanqi captured in Bandera City in the northern border province was not necessarily what Cloris wanted, the true situation of the city and the figure of the mysterious man in black robe alone were already heavy enough.
This was an impossible commission. Even if Major General Van Reku's investigation team could find some clues, there was no hope of escaping the city of Bandera, let alone running back to the imperial capital Helrom through the blockades and pursuits in the north.
Therefore, accordingly, no one knows the exact value of the mission materials that Lanqi has obtained.
Next, it is time to discuss with Chloris the plan to further delay the war with the Protoss Empire.
“……!”
Hearing this, Gloria's expression became even worse.
"What's wrong?"
Lanqi noticed the change in Gloria's expression.
"Chloris was suspected of treason not long ago and has been confined to the Duke of Berendhard's mansion. She is forbidden to travel and cannot contact anyone else until the investigation is complete."
Gloria said quickly.
Although she should have been happy to hear the Son of God say that he could seek help from the Duke of Berendhard's family, it would be better not to get involved with Chloris now.
"When did it happen?"
Lanqi frowned slightly.
"About two weeks ago."
Gloria replied.
Lanci and Sigrid glanced at each other.
Two weeks ago, that was probably shortly after the two of them encountered Asksan and the black-robed man in Bandera City in the northern border province.
So, could it be that their raid and escape at the northern border caused the enemy behind the scenes to change their plans and take countermeasures, which led to Chloris being targeted at the same time? "What about Duke Morotian?"
Lanqi asked again.
In his cooperation with Chloris, one of the most crucial pieces of information as a testament to Chloris's sincerity was the mystery of the disappearance of Duke Morotian.
Lanci also promised Cloris not to reveal this information to anyone else.
The real Duke Morodian had long disappeared in the northern part of the empire. The Duke Morodian in the public eye today is a medicine man controlled by Chloris. She now controls all forces related to the Berendhard family and can almost directly influence the tilt of the bishop's election a week later.
"Duke Morotian was not affected, and at this juncture in the Empire, he has stated for the sake of his family's reputation that if treason is ever proven, he will never shield his daughter. Please ask the Empire to execute him."
"?"
Lanqi finally showed an expression of confusion on his face.
According to the imperial laws, the imprisoned Chloris must have had her magic power and actions restricted by the empire, and she should no longer be able to control the puppet Duke Morodian, so Duke Morodian should no longer be able to be active.
If it wasn't Chloris who was controlling him, then who was the Duke of Morodian on the stage now?
"Is there something you haven't told me?"
Sigrid looked into Lanci's eyes without any blame. She knew that Lanci was a man who kept his promises. He must have promised Chloris not to tell others certain key information.
The Son of God had dealings with Miss Duchess Chloris, and Lanqi had not hidden this from her. The large number of rare purple packaged magic cards he had previously obtained were obtained by Chloris with her help.
Sigrid had paid attention to every potential student when she sneaked into the Protoss Royal School of Magic, and she also knew something about Miss Duchess Chloris.
Although this young duchess has the qualifications to become the Tyrant Saint, she is too scheming and cannot be truly loyal to her. Sigrid does not want a saint who cannot be tamed.
"In fact, Duke Morodian disappeared not long ago. The Duke Morodian in the past was a puppet controlled by Miss Duchess Cloris. One of the main contents of the deal between Cloris and I was to help her go to the north to investigate the mastermind behind the war in the empire. In fact, I was also saving her."
There was no need for Lanqi to worry about anything at this point, so he answered honestly.
If we want this cooperation to continue, the Tyrant Branch has become an indispensable force.
He had originally planned to make the Berenhard family form an alliance with the Tyrant branch after returning from the north, so this information must be shared.
Sigrid processed the information in a daze, while Gloria almost crashed for a moment.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"No way, this Duke's daughter is so cruel? I almost admire her."
Sigrid said to herself.
She had understood the whole situation, but she was also glad that she had not considered letting Cloris become a saint. If the bishop was in trouble, Cloris, the saint, would probably kill her mother first.
"Normally, all the votes controlled by their family would be cast for us, but now it's a little uncertain."
Lanci sighed.
The concurrent situation in the imperial capital was ultimately somewhat counterproductive.
In other words, the partners behind Asksan who are in the real dark are the most difficult enemies to deal with and who control the situation.
"Did you even help me win the votes of the Berendhard family?"
Sigrid's lips parted in surprise.
She thought that this guy had laid a foundation for her in the south and won over an entire province in the north. As a result, he had even negotiated with the Duke of Berendhard's family in the imperial capital.
He promised to help me win, and he really wasn't lazy at all, he was just doing real work.
The happiest thing in the world is that when she knows nothing, someone has already helped her complete her ambition.
“…”
Gloria looked around at Lanci and Sigrid. Her brain was in a state of confusion as she was receiving and processing information. She finally understood how powerful this Holy Son of Tyrant was.
His work rate was a little too explosive.
It is hard to imagine how far he could go in the Empire if he were given another year.
Even Gloria was a little worried that if this continued, her bishop would fall in love with the Son of God. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the Son of God was the bishop's ideal type, except for age and strength.
But Gloria soon breathed a sigh of relief.
The strength factor is directly rejected.
Gloria was very sure that the arrogant and domineering Catholic Church would never look down on a man weaker than her. At most, she was just raising the Son of God as her own boy.
Unless one day this man becomes strong enough that the bishop needs to rely on him, there is a possibility that the bishop will have the slightest romantic interest in him.
