Chapter 463: Lanqi is also a riddle man
The fifth floor of the Redmond Building, the principal's office meeting area.
The topic about Associate Professor Xiduo was not discussed much, and Duke Morotian avoided it.
Because every time Lanqi apologized, he seemed to be hiding a hint of grievance, which made the kind Duke start to feel a little embarrassed.
However, his intention in coming here today was obviously not to bring an army to hold someone accountable.
I just wanted to meet Rocky McCarthy and say hello, so that when we meet on the day of the bishop election three days later, there won't be any awkwardness.
"I won't disturb Principal Lodge's rest today, after all, Principal Lodge has already gone off work. But I am very interested in a question, which is also the main purpose of my visit today. I believe that Warden Bacchus must have asked Principal Lodge this question today."
Duke Morotian asked with interest, changing the subject, "Who does Mr. Lodge want to vote for in the bishop election in three days?"
"It must be Asksan, the Bishop of Annihilation."
Lanqi answered immediately.
However, unlike Warden Bacchus, this made Duke Morotian stunned.
"I see. It seems we have different ideas."
He shook his head and smiled.
"Who does Prince Berendhard want to vote for?"
Lanqi asked curiously, as if he wanted to seek advice from Duke Morodian.
Prince Morotian did not answer immediately, but leaned forward.
"Sigrid the Tyrant."
Duke Morodian replied in a low voice with a slight smile.
During the moment when Lanqi was confused, Duke Morotian observed Lanqi's expression.
"It depends on whether she dares to come out."
Duke Morotian added, with a slightly ambiguous look in his smile, as if asking Lanqi, "Do you think so too?"
“…”
But Lanqi did not respond. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and then he was relieved, as if he was a beat slow to understand what the Duke meant.
"Does Duke Berenhard mean that the Catholic Church is suspected of committing the serious crime of massacring civilians?"
Lanci asked.
"Of course, her recent dormancy is wise. If she appears in public earlier, the Imperial Military may be prevented from participating in the election on that day. If she appears directly on the day of the election, the Imperial Military cannot intervene in the election due to priority considerations. However, the premise is that she must be confident that she can win. If she loses, she may really be doomed."
Duke Morotian sighed.
What he meant sounded like: if Sigrid showed up with confidence, then it was likely that Sigrid felt she could win, so she had a good chance of winning. So he also hoped to see Sigrid appear in the bishop election that day.
"I see. I didn't think so much about it. I just simply hope that Asksan will be fine. A prodigal son who returns to the right path is more precious than gold. He rarely has a chance to be a good person. I also hope that he can walk on the right path."
Lanci replied.
In the administrative office on the other side, Antanas listened to the two riddle men talking and always felt that what Planai said seemed to make some sense. The two men were obviously negotiating in a friendly manner, but there was an inexplicable feeling that there was something else behind their words, but she couldn't figure out what they meant.
In the principal's office, the conversation between the two did not last too long. Duke Morodian looked at the clock and felt that it was probably time to leave.
"Mr. Rocky McCarthy, you have risen too fast. In the short time I was away from the imperial capital Helrom, a rising star like you appeared. It is even difficult to investigate your past record."
Duke Morotian stood up and looked at the rain outside the window and said, "But after seeing you today, I feel relieved. I am very pleased that the Protoss Empire has someone like you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency the Duke."
Hearing this, Lanqi just raised the teacup to his lips and replied with a smile.
"By the way, Principal Rocky, do you think we hit it off right away?"
Duke Morotian looked back at Lanci.
“…”
Lanqi sipped his tea, as if thinking.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Seeing that Lanqi did not respond, Duke Morotian did not intend to stay any longer. He saluted, walked around the coffee table, and walked towards the door of the principal's office.
"Who knows if we have met before? As the saying goes, every encounter is just a reunion after a long separation. Prince Berendhard, don't you think so?"
Lanqi put down his teacup and responded.
“…”
Duke Morodian, who was holding the door handle and preparing to leave, paused for a moment.
He slowly lifted the half-pressed door handle, then Morodian turned around with the same smile on his face as always.
"Mr. Rocky McCarthy, I have another question."
Duke Morodian opened the door, and the howling wind from the corridor rushed in, causing the temperature in the principal's office to drop by several degrees.
"Speaking."
"I personally feel that your style of doing things sometimes makes you make choices that are not optimal, but instead you take into account many people or things that have nothing to do with you, and therefore you may be in danger. I am very worried about you. I want to know what drives you, or why you do things that have nothing to do with you?"
Duke Morodian asked with confusion on his brow.
"That has nothing to do with me."
Lanqi stood up and answered lightly as if seeing off a guest.
“…”
Duke Morotian stared at Lanci as if he was considering something.
There were lightning and thunder outside the window, occasionally illuminating the figures of the two people in the dim office.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Do you need an umbrella, Prince Berendhard?"
Lanqi took out an umbrella from the drawer of the cabinet and asked.
"No, it's nice to meet you today, Mr. Rocky McCarthy."
Duke Morotian said goodbye to Lanci, and as he closed the door, the cold air in the office disappeared, as if he had just played a little joke on the principal.
…
On the other side of the office on the fifth floor of the Hongmeng Building.
Until Planai and Antanas, who were standing by the window, watched Duke Morotian completely leave the Protoss Royal School of Magic.
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
After Antanas took over the barrier authority of the Protoss Royal School of Magic given to her by Lanqi, she could use her innate magic to sense the movements of various parts of the academy at any time and provide rapid support. She also set up a barrier to shield the offices near the principal's office.
The thunder just now made them feel as if at any moment after a thunder, the undead might swarm around the Protoss Royal School of Magic.
Shinola had just been listening to Planai's explanation of the conversation between the king and Duke Morotian, and for some reason he had some guesses in his mind, but he had no substantial evidence.
The conversation between the king and Duke Morotian seemed dull, but in fact it was like a precursor to a major war.
If Duke Morodian had intended to fight the king just now, they would have dragged Duke Morodian into the battlefield immediately.
After waiting for Duke Morotian to leave, the three great demons continued to monitor the campus for a while, then left the office together and walked along the corridor to the door of the principal's office.
Pranay knocks the door.
"Come in."
Lanqi's voice was still so gentle, and it seemed very calm amid the fierce rainstorm.
The door opened and three great demons walked into the office.
"King, why didn't you keep him? Don't you think the Duke was suspicious just now? The Riddler deserves a beating!"
Antanas couldn't help but ask first.
She didn't know whether the king really didn't understand Duke Morodian's meaning, or had other considerations.
But when you think about it carefully, it seems that she also scolded the new king.
Antanas hated riddlers the most, and this Duke Morodian was obviously a senior riddler. Fortunately, the new king was also a riddler. According to the theory of riddle relativity, no one could riddle anyone else.
Correspondingly, except for Planai who might have understood something, she and Shinola could not understand at all the deep conversation between the new king and Duke Morodian, which seemed like a negotiation and a game.
“…”
Pranay remained silent.
He could probably guess that if Duke Morodian was really an enemy, with the interference of the ancient barrier of the academy, killing Rocky McCarthy would cause some disturbance. Killing Rocky McCarthy by Duke Morodian himself might cause unnecessary big problems on the eve of the bishop election, so even if Duke Morodian was an enemy, he would most likely not take action today.
Although Planai and his men have the home advantage when they fight in the Protoss Royal School of Magic, they will definitely cause great damage and casualties to the school.
The king's kindness was not feigned, for his actions were also full of kindness.
"School is not the place for fighting."
Lan Qi put his hands behind his back and looked out the window. Finally, he turned his head and looked at the three great demons. "The final battle will not be today."
No one knows what he saw in his emerald green pupils.
