Chapter 485 Lanqi's Leisurely Morning

The antique clock in the office made a soft and regular ticking sound, and the hands just passed nine o'clock.

Lanqi didn't pay attention to the time. He was completely out of tune with the spring sunshine outside. He just spent the morning leisurely. Everything around him seemed peaceful and orderly because of him.

Until there was a light knock on the office door, and Planai's voice came from the other side: "Mr. Rocky, Miss Cloris, please come and see me."

"Come in."

Lanqi raised his head and looked towards the door, his voice calm and kind.

The door slowly opened, and Pranay was seen standing respectfully at the door. Then, a woman with extraordinary temperament walked in.

She was still wearing an aristocratic hunting dress and slim-fitting trousers, with her finely braided long hair draped over her shoulders, but it was more formal than before.

"Principal Rocky, I haven't seen you for over a month."

Miss Duchess Cloris took off her hat, sat opposite Lanqi's desk, and sighed.

Her bright aura seemed to bring a breath of fresh air and the scent of flowers, and even though it was a bright spring day outside, her presence seemed to make the entire office brighter.

"It's really hard to be locked up in the Duke's Mansion during this period of time."

Lanqi stood up with a smile and raised his hand to signal Miss Duchess Cloris to go to the meeting area on the left side of the office.

In the past, as principals, they could sit at their desks and talk slowly with students, but this is not appropriate now.

"Yeah, every day I don't know if I can live to the next day, it all depends on whether I bet right, but fortunately, judging from the result, I can be considered a big winner."

Chloris spread her hands and said.

You can't tell at all that she is a woman who has just spent dozens of days on the brink of life and death.

After the two of them sat down on the sofa in the meeting area, Planai turned around lightly and walked to the cabinet beside him. He opened the drawer, took out a small bag of selected tea, and began to prepare tea for Chloris.

Lanqi quietly watched Pranai making tea, and couldn't help but sigh at this peaceful and pleasant daily life.

After several months of intensive work, he finally had some free time and felt very relaxed.

As Pranay brought the two of them freshly brewed floral tea, he took his leave again and gently closed the office door for them.

"When did our school have such a great teacher?"

Chloris felt that she had been under house arrest for more than a month, but she did not expect that there would appear a professor whom she had never seen before and whom she could not understand at all.

"Maybe he's always been there, but no one noticed."

Lanci replied with a smile.

“I see.”

Chloris seemed to have figured something out, but she would not speak out. "I heard that His Majesty Franklin III invited you to dinner yesterday."

She picked up the teacup, looked at the principal with interest, and asked.

"It is true."

Lanci nodded.

In fact, the emperor of the Protoss Empire was also very scared on the day of the bishop election.

Or rather, Franklin III has never felt at ease in the past few months.

Until Rocky McCarthy showed up and helped him sort everything out.

This dinner also had some hidden meanings, such as the emperor hoped that he would not care about public opinion and continue to lead the Protoss Empire.

Lanqi talked for a long time with the Emperor of the Protoss Empire.

Although many imperial dignitaries are not willing to see Rocky McCarthy hold too much power because he is too close to the Catholic Church, he should not actively seek too much power in order to avoid suspicion.

But the emperor still expressed his trust in Lanci, hoping that he would not mind the prejudices of other political parties in the empire.

Lanci knew that this meeting might have been partly instigated by Isis, and the emperor was quite nervous when he had dinner with him.

However, after gradual communication, Emperor Franklin III slowly opened his heart to Lanci.

Franklin III admitted that he was also afraid of Rocky McCarthy. Many people felt that Rocky McCarthy was an existence that ordinary people could not understand.

But instead of betting everything on the unknown, it is better to bet everything on a capable person.

According to the information that has not been made public yet, the investigation results show that Duke Morodian and Bishop Asksan of Annihilation led such a conspiracy, wanting to start a war that would cause massive deaths and help Morodian absorb the souls of living beings in order to advance to the ninth level.

If Duke Morodian's conspiracy succeeds, not only will the northern provinces of the empire be devastated, but the northern countries will also become a place for the two inhumane masterminds to feast after their carnival.

However, the appearance of the northern demons and the changes in the Duke still have not been explained.

It may be related to the disaster-stricken land in the far north of the northern continent. No one knows whether the Church is involved.

After all, the Protoss Empire is only a country on the southern coast of the northern continent, and there are still many unknown mysteries in the north that are difficult for contemporary humans to understand.

Perhaps one day in the future, a deeper danger will come back, and Franklin III hopes that he, Rocky McCarthy, will still be in the Protoss Empire at that time.

"So that's how it is."

Chloris nodded.

In fact, she could probably guess what the conversation between the principal and the emperor was about.

In the end, Rocky McCarthy gained the emperor's trust and agreed to continue in office.

"What does Miss Duke Cloris want to see me about today?"

Lanqi stared at Chloris and asked, "No, I think I should call you Duchess Chloris now."

He thought about it and slightly amended his wording.

[Original Slate - Undead] is the national treasure of the Protoss Empire and also the treasure of the Duke of Berenhard's family. After killing Duke Morodian, it is currently kept by the great sage Isis.

Isis said that she would return the stone tablet to the Berendard family after Chloris reached the seventh level, also out of protection.

Now Chloris has been acquitted and will inherit the leading position of the Berendhard family and become the Duchess of the Empire.

Although this news has not been made public yet, it is expected to be announced soon, and the top leaders of the empire are well aware of it.

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

"No matter what has happened to my identity now, the Berendhard family will still be your ally. Thank you for trusting me until the end."

Chloris thanks you.

Every move she makes is risky. Without the trust of her allies, everything will collapse.

"Need not."

Lanqi looked away, lowered his eyes and smiled.

"Why?"

Chloris asked, staring at him.

She didn't know why Rocky McCarthy rejected her.

"I'm ready to retire."

Lanqi leaned back in his chair and spoke with a nonchalant look in his eyes, as if he was ready to retire tomorrow.

“…”

Chloris couldn't understand this man.

He was clearly just one step away from taking control of the Protoss Empire, but he wanted nothing more.

So what was the purpose of all this? "I have no interest in fame, fortune or success. I just want to go back to my hometown and live a stable life."

Lanqi showed a relaxed smile.

"After I retire, the Protoss Royal School of Magic will resume its previous operation without a principal. The post of governor of the Northern Snowfield Province will be handed over to Viscount Kingston. As for the Tyrant Branch, if possible, I hope Duchess Chloris will take care of it."

He knew that the Duchess before him was somewhat similar to her father, Duke Morodian, in some ways, but was essentially different and was a more trustworthy partner.

"Naturally, we have always been allies."

Chloris nodded, her voice firm.

She paused for a moment and looked at the clock on the wall, seeming to feel that she had been delayed for a little too long.

"Then I won't bother Mr. Lodge any more."

Cloris stood up and said goodbye to Lanqi.

She moved gracefully and calmly, walking lightly towards the door of the principal's office.

The moment she grasped the door handle, she turned around with an indescribable smile on her face.

"By the way, Principal, just now at the foot of the Redmond Building, a girl with light hair asked me to tell you that she is waiting for you by the lake. She asked you to change into some casual and handsome clothes before going to see her."

Chloris said, then she nodded slightly and gently closed the door, leaving a quiet space.

Lanqi's gaze lingered for a moment as the door slowly closed.

He didn't continue to move, and was a little dazed.

Then he smiled with relief.

"Is it really okay for the Bishop to date the Son of God?"

Lanqi stood up and muttered to himself helplessly.

Originally, that night was just to give Sigrid an example and tell her what not to say before the war, but they didn't expect that it would become a real date.

Although he said so, he did not stay here for a moment and walked out of the principal's office with energy.
