Chapter 371 Lan Qi stood in the most conspicuous position waiting for her to come back
"No problem. I also want to see the brightly lit Helrom that is rumored to be so bright."
Hyperion looked at the time. It was only about seven o'clock. She could buy some daily necessities in advance before moving into her new home, instead of waiting until tomorrow morning to buy everything in a hurry. She also wanted to follow Michela to get familiar with the city-state of Helrom.
Moreover, although Michela's face was a little stiff, her eyes were very passionate, and it was obvious that she wanted to go shopping in Helrom's commercial district with her before going home.
It is said that Helrom's skyscrapers are filled with conspicuous giant screens spanning the facades of the buildings, which is completely different from Ikerit's style of integrating magical screens into the glass curtain walls of buildings.
Hyperion has also been curious about this psychedelic city-state for a long time.
"Let's go, Michela."
She rose gracefully from her seat, her movements smooth and measured, checking her clothing before reaching for the small handbag that lay beside her seat.
Michela also stood up. She was not in a hurry at all. She checked whether the two of them had left any personal belongings in a calm manner and left the box.
The train's final deceleration was accompanied by a series of mechanical loosening sounds, and the carriages shook slightly until they finally came to a smooth stop on the platform at Helrom.
The car door slowly opened, and the cool night wind mixed with the scent of magic mineral springs and metal poured into the car.
The passengers moved towards the exit in an orderly manner, and Hyperion and Michela also walked towards the door.
In this station filled with unique orchestral music, a transparent mirror screen came into their sight. It began to capture the expressions of the passengers who had just arrived in the imperial capital, retaining them for a few seconds before disappearing.
"It's okay. This is a barrier spell to check for camouflage magic. The one on the ground is for checking ID."
Michela explained to Hyperion while walking on the platform.
The road beneath their feet was occasionally lit up, emitting a faint azure glow and rippling as if they were walking on water.
"Then it might be a little late for us to return to school. In the sky garden that floats overhead at night, there will be singing flowers and astral ghosts. We must not casually step into the old neighborhood that looks very weird, and we must stay away from the Helrom Alchemy Zoo..."
Michela continued counting on her fingers to remind Hyperion.
This city is magical but also full of dangers. Many prosperous areas of the city-state are maintained in absolute order by powerful people and ancient barriers, while places far away from these areas often experience chaos, violence and crime.
"In fact, I was frightened several times when I first came to Helrom, and was laughed at..."
Michella grumbled, as if she was a little aggrieved.
Traveling in this city without a tour guide can be a dangerous thing in itself.
Although she has a blank expression on her face most of the time and seems to be indifferent to everything, she actually has rich emotions inside.
"Don't worry, Michela, I won't be scared, don't worry about me."
Hyperion said, looking at Michela with a smile.
She is not only a princess of the demon clan, but also the daughter of the Duke of Hutton Kingdom and a clergyman. Now she is disguised as the daughter of an earl. She has to be elegant and polite at all times, and remain calm no matter what happens.
This is the only thing that Hyperion is confident about.
…
at the same time.
In the heart of Helrom, a city that never sleeps, a towering skyscraper stands in the bustling downtown area. Its appearance is inconspicuous, but its presence cannot be ignored. Its top is equipped with rows of marquees, and the beams of light that cut through the darkness announce its identity as a media giant to every corner of the city.
This is the famous studio building of the Protoss Empire, the birthplace of Helrom Broadcasting Corporation programs, and the place where countless dreams and art converge.
The exterior of the studio building features a cool, dark glass curtain wall that reflects the light of the sky during the day and, at night, becomes a huge projection screen displaying the station's emblem signed with the Royal Charter of Helrom and clips of the programs being broadcast.
The entrance on the ground floor was crowded with people who wanted to be part of the live audience of the show. They held tickets in their hands, waiting for the uniformed guards at the door to let them in. The extra police officers assigned by the guard hall today had serious expressions and flashing badges on their chests, maintaining order in the Helrom Broadcasting Corporation building.
After tonight's show is over, they will have the task of further evacuating the crowd and escorting celebrities away from the congested downtown area.
But in the dressing room behind the scenes on the 21st floor of the Helrom Broadcasting Corporation building, the atmosphere was completely different.
Lanqi stood in front of the makeup mirror, quietly stroking the little black cat in his hand, waiting for the staff to invite him in.
At this moment, the lights in the dressing room seemed particularly dazzling, and Lanqi's figure was almost split into countless afterimages in the mirror, each of which carried a calm smile.
The air was filled with a heavy smell of foundation and perfume, which made the little black cat feel a little uncomfortable, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with him. His eyes penetrated the prosperity of Helrom outside the window, staring at the deeper meaning that only he could see.
“Meow…”
The cat boss fidgeted in Lanqi's hands and kept turning over and over.
"Boss Cat, don't you want to join me on the show later?"
Lanci asked with a smile.
He felt that Boss Cat actually wanted to see the world or see what's going on.
It is timid but very curious.
If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The show he is going to participate in later, "The Helrom Late Show", was originally broadcast by the Helrom Broadcasting Company in 1754. Under the leadership of the first host, the program set the basic format of late-night talk shows, including opening stand-up comedy, celebrity interviews, comedy sketches, musical performances, etc.
Subsequent hosts added more personal style and emotional elements when they took over the show, making the show more focused on interviews and conversations, and bringing the show into its golden age. With the hosts' unique sense of humor and affinity, the show has also become a cultural symbol of Helrom's evenings.
The program content is wide-ranging, covering a variety of areas including social issues, current politics, mental health, life stories and cultural topics.
The talk show will start on time at eight o'clock. Looking at the clock in the dressing room, the studio should be ready.
“Meow…”
The cat boss still looks like a crying cat.
For some reason, the makeup artist even tied a little bow tie on it.
The more it recognizes the current situation, the more it feels that it is irreversible. It has indeed never seen such a situation before.
Before coming to the Northern Continent, it never dreamed that one day it would reach this point.
It actually foolishly thought that this kid was just a little abnormal and wouldn't cause much trouble after leaving Ikerit Academy.
After more than two months, it finally understood what Lanci was without Hyperion tying him up.
There was a feeling of guilt that was about to kill the cat owner. Whenever he thought about how Xubo had told him the importance of keeping an eye on Lanqi, but the cat turned a deaf ear to his words, he felt that he had committed a serious sin.
"Don't worry. Didn't Hyperion tell me that if we get separated in the Empire, I can just go to a conspicuous place and wait for her. She will find me soon. I might even be able to meet her today."
Lanqi, always optimistic, gently stroked the cat boss over and over again.
“…”
The cat boss raised his head and stared at Lanqi with tearful eyes in silence for a long time.
Is it possible that she meant being prominent in a geographical sense, rather than making you so prominent?
In the end, it chose to be an ostrich cat and buried its head.
At this moment, its mentality has changed from praying that Xiubao would come back soon to praying that Xiubao would not come back.
Fortunately, the blockade in the north is strict. With Xiu Bao's strength, there is a high probability that he will not be able to escape back to the Protoss Empire!
Let's meet again in the southern continent! ! I couldn't handle the four chapters yesterday, so I'll take it slow today and update tomorrow to finish the meeting between Ranch and Hyperion (end of this chapter)
