Chapter 389: Lanqi's unexpected visitor appointment
Early morning three days later.
On the north side of the Protoss Royal School of Magic, there is a brick and stone building inlaid with dark gray reliefs. It is under particularly strict guard today.
The Redmond Building, built in 1728 and serving as the school's main administrative center, is one of the school's most representative and magnificent classical buildings. It has not been included in the renovation plan proposed by the new principal, Rocky McCarthy, and will remain in its original form for a long time.
Rocky McCarthy's office, as well as the meeting and reception areas for important off-campus visitors, are all on the upper floors of the Redmond Building.
Even if there were students passing by downstairs, they would just take a look and walk away quickly.
They roughly knew who Rocky McCarthy was going to receive today.
Once the "Campus Youth Prison Walk" plan proposed by Rocky McCarthy is successfully implemented, the implementation of school rules will be further consolidated in the future.
The school will retain the principle of taking care of students' life safety and change the punishment of students to a method that can create more social public value.
Of course, the school list was not enough to excite Warden Bacchus.
If it was just to discuss the plan, it was more that Warden Bacchus wanted to get to know Rocky McCarthy or do him a small favor.
However, with the large-scale cooperation plan of the Snowfield Province, things are different.
This was a wealth that was rolling in like an irresistible torrent. Just the tentative cooperation in the transfer of the first batch of Ghost Party prisoners from the Snowfield Province made Warden Bakas somewhat afraid to calculate the future value of the project.
Now it may be that Warden Bacchus has something to ask of Principal Lodge.
On the third floor of the Redmond Building, Rocky McCarthy, dressed as usual, and a man in his thirties walked slowly in the corridor of this ancient building. Everything around them was immersed in the solemnity of historical art paintings.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lodge, I'm a little late. The bishop election is approaching and there have been more unrest. The Imperial Police Department has too much work to do."
Warden Bacchus apologized politely to Principal Lodge.
Today he was not wearing the warden uniform of Helrom Prison, but a neat suit, with his hair combed neatly and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving people an impression of being serious, upright and well-educated. But in fact, his style was well known in the imperial capital of Helrom, and he was not someone that ordinary people dared to deal with.
He liked to treat prisoners and subordinates in a dignified, cold and unquestionable tone, and his smile was often hypocritical, sarcastic and mocking. However, when facing Rocky McCarthy, he would become so gentle.
Upon hearing this, Lanqi just nodded slightly and looked ahead, as if he was thinking about something.
The two of them walked on the soft corridor floor. The deep red carpet under their feet was deep in color, thick in texture, and delicate in texture, flowing slowly under their feet. The wooden carved walls on both sides of the corridor were decorated with intricate gilded patterns, which sparkled with a subtle luster under the light, just like their thoughts at the moment.
"With great power comes great responsibility, and I understand that."
Lanqi smiled politely and sighed,
"But it's true that when it comes to the bishop election in three days, I get a headache."
Then Lanqi seemed to have remembered something troubling him, and muttered to himself in a wavering manner.
For neutral figures like them in the imperial capital, if they do not have a clear preference, voting is like a bet, and they can only avoid offending anyone by voting for the winning bishop.
"If Mr. Lodge has heard anything, please share it with me."
Warden Bakas asked Lanqi for advice.
Since Rocky brought this up, he must have some ideas, otherwise he wouldn't have happened to discover the key point in Bakas's words.
Bakas had also been trying to gather information these days. He had originally intended to ask Rocky McCarthy for advice, but he had not expected that Rocky would understand what he meant so quickly.
Lanqi groaned.
"I only know that the nobles in the north and the Imperial Army all hold the Annihilation Branch in high esteem. In my opinion, Asksan is still my favorite."
Lanci looked back at the corridor, making sure that no one was around, and said to Warden Bakas.
“…”
Bakas stared into Lanqi's emerald eyes. It was a sincere look from the heart. He seemed to very much hope that Asksan could live a good life.
"It seems that everyone thinks the same way."
Bakas nodded slowly and gradually.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Rocky McCarthy is the governor of the Snowfield Province, and the north is the area guarded by the Bishop of Silence. It is not surprising that Rocky has some relationship with the Silence branch.
The two walked past neatly arranged large terraced windows that framed the outside world like exquisite paintings, showing the college courtyard, the ancient Helrom-style buildings and lush trees in the distance, as well as the newly renovated campus landscape under the Lanci plan.
When he arrived at the academy today, Bakas was surprised by the scenery.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He originally thought that Rocky McCarthy was just a manager and leader with unique skills, who liked to use his power to improvise some terrible works, but he didn't expect that his artistic attainments were truly amazing.
Even without considering Rocky McCarthy's current status in the empire, Bakas is very sure that Rocky McCarthy's works will be hard to find in the Protoss Empire in the future. In addition to the designs of these public facilities, if anyone can own a private piece of Rocky McCarthy's work, its value will definitely be so high that it can only be regarded as a legend.
This made Bakas even more convinced that he must make friends with the man next to him.
In this way, Bakas and Lanqi walked slowly for a while with thoughts in mind.
"Mr. Lodge, later today, an important person I know wants to talk to you alone. He also came up with it on a whim, and he happened to be sure to see you today. I wonder if you are free."
Warden Bacchus lowered his voice slightly and spoke to Lanqi, who was walking beside him with his hands behind his back.
"Oh? Who is it?"
Lanqi raised his eyebrows in confusion and looked at Warden Bakas beside him.
"Duke Morotian Berenhard."
Warden Bacchus mentioned his name quietly.
"Mr. Berendhard wants to see me. Do you need me to pass on the message?"
Lanqi looked at Warden Bakas seriously and asked.
As early as when he first came to the Northern Continent, he was just an unknown little figure in the Protoss Empire, but he had heard of the name of Duke Morotian Berenhard.
The father of Duchess Chloris, Duke Morodian Berenhard, is the holder of the [Original Slate - Undead] and one of the two most powerful men in the Protoss Empire.
I didn't expect that the Duke would find me today.
