Chapter 462: The Duke of Lanqi will visit

More than an hour later.

The clock has just passed five in the afternoon.

It was raining heavily outside the principal's office in the Redmond Building. Every drop of rain made a loud note on the glass behind Lanqi. The occasional lightning and thunder made the sky flicker, as if the whole world was shrouded in chaos.

The dark wooden furniture brings a calm atmosphere to the space. The bronze table lamp stands quietly on the desk, emitting warm and soft light, dispelling the chill of the thunderstorm outside the window.

Lanci sat alone in his office, his back straight, his hands on the documents on the desk, and a cup of cold coffee beside him.

His eyes were fixed intently on the documents on the desk, occasionally picking up a pen to mark important parts of the paper or write notes in the margins.

Generally speaking, their school ends at five o'clock.

But today is a little special. According to the appointment, Duke Morotian should be arriving soon, which is why Lanqi has not left the office to finish today's school work.

The clock's gears whirred steadily.

Lanqi didn't pay attention to time. He was focused and calm. He didn't care about the thunderstorm and storm outside. He was just immersed in his academic and administrative work. Everything around him was quiet and orderly because of him.

Until there was a gentle knock on the office door, and the voice of the administrator of Hongmeng Building came from outside the door:

"Mr. Lodge, Duke Berenhard has arrived."

"Come in."

Lanqi raised his head and looked at the door in front of him, his voice calm and powerful.

The door slowly opened, and I saw a school staff standing respectfully at the door. Then, a tall man walked in.

This legendary figure of the Protoss Empire is also the most powerful person in the world who holds the original stone tablet. He looks to be around thirty years old.

He wore a finely tailored dark coat with a slightly turned-up collar, revealing a hint of handsomeness. His facial features were distinct and his jawline was tight and strong. His temperament was somewhat similar to that of Chloris, but compared to the more casual Chloris, Duke Morotian's eyes seemed to carry a subtle and profound thought.

"In fact, I have wanted to visit Mr. Rocky McCarthy for a long time, but unfortunately we have been busy with official duties recently, and there have been too many changes in the empire during this period."

Duke Morodian took off his hat and looked at Lanqi and said.

He was more approachable than expected, without much majesty or oppression of a strong man. Although it was raining heavily outside, Duke Morotian was not wet by a drop of rain. He walked into Lanqi's office with steady steps without getting the carpet in the principal's office wet.

"Me too. Today I finally have the honor of meeting Prince Berenhard. I understand that this period of time has been very busy and exhausting."

Lanqi put down the pen in his hand and raised his hand to signal the Duke to go to the meeting area on the left side of the office.

He also stood up and walked over, inviting Prince Morotian to sit on the sofa.

Normally, when meeting such a big shot, or the most powerful person in the world for the first time, one would feel somewhat uneasy.

But Lanqi was already used to being with Loren, and didn't feel uncomfortable.

After a simple greeting, the atmosphere was formal but not stiff. As the administrator brought a tray of black tea to the two of them, he took his leave again and closed the door for them.

"Prince Berendhard came to see me today. Is there something worrying you?"

Lanci smiled at Duke Morotian and observed his face.

"nature."

Duke Morodian picked up the teacup on the sofa, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

"Actually, it's related to an associate professor at your school. I've been trying to find him for a while, but I always feel like I've missed him."

He inadvertently glanced at the bookcase in the office, and noticed a conspicuous book, "Chronicles of the Holy War", and next to it was a lush demonic plant. The green leaves looked vibrant under the light, adding a completely different color to this quaint office.

"Excuse me, is this Associate Professor Xiduo?"

Lanqi also followed the Duke's gaze and roughly confirmed who Duke Morotian was referring to.

Recent media news has tracked and followed up on Miss Duchess Chloris, who is suspected of treason, and Associate Professor Sido, who is missing. Although the matter has not yet been determined, it may be due to the influence of the Duke of Bernhard's family that the charges against Miss Duchess Chloris are still vague, and more public opinion is being directed towards Associate Professor Sido.

However, Lanqi was not sure whether Duke Morotian knew about the relationship between Xiduo and Chloris.

"He bewitched my daughter."

Duke Morotian tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and his tone became more cautious.

"In that case, it's my fault too."

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

Lanqi lowered his eyebrows, looked away and apologized.

"No, Principal Rocky must be unaware of this. After all, my daughter Cloris has always been very smart, and sometimes I can't understand her."

Duke Morodian waved his hands casually, as if he felt that Lanci had misunderstood his meaning. He did not want to blame him for this. "Associate Professor Xiduo was able to successfully deceive her. I was the only one who had a chance to save her. Unfortunately, even I, her father, failed to discover it, let alone Principal Rocky."

While the two were chatting, in the administrative office on the other side, Planai folded his arms and observed the situation in the principal's office with his magic eyes.

With the barrier prepared in advance by Antanas, even the most powerful man in the Protoss Empire, Duke Morotian, could not find that there were three eighth-level professors observing the principal's office in the room not far away.

"Praanai, why are you so silent?"

Antanas asked, patting Pranay's shoulder.

She could also sense the situation inside the barrier through her innate magic, but she felt that Pranay was seriously analyzing something at the moment.

Earlier in the principal's office, the new king had roughly explained to them the situation in the Protoss Empire over the past three months, the unrest in the north, and what they would face next.

"The new king is not sure whether Duke Morotian knows that he has contacted Chloris and Sido. Duke Morotian's words seem to contain a hidden temptation."

Planai finally spoke to Antanas, explaining, or perhaps translating, what the new king and Duke Morodian were saying.

"No way, aren't they just chatting normally? I think the new king is very sincere. He even apologized with a hint of tea just now, which made Duke Morodian feel embarrassed."

Antanas rubbed his head in confusion.

Pranay glanced at Antanas and did not argue with her.

There will be a thousand new kings in the eyes of a thousand demons. Whether the new king's performance just now was pure or tea, innocent or scheming, each demon will have a different answer. Of course, it is also possible to have duality. The new king possesses all of the above attributes at the same time.
