Chapter 491: Lanqi's Travels to the Capital

One month later, Hutton Kingdom.

As the magic rail train came to a stop, the scenery outside the window slowly became still. When the door opened, a station with a roof made of ochre-red bricks appeared.

"We've arrived!"

Antanas' cheerful voice and footsteps echoed on the platform of Ikerite Central Station.

The towering towers at both ends make the entire central station very spectacular. The marble columns, murals and stained glass windows all reflect the weight of history. It is a style they have never seen in the Protoss Empire.

After a long journey of more than a month, they traveled all the way from the Protoss Empire to the south coast, where they met up with Hyperion and crossed the sea by boat. They then crossed several countries in the southern continent and finally arrived at the royal capital of Ikerite from the northern border of the Kingdom of Hutton.

She couldn't wait to see her friend and family member, Talia.

"Okay, you've worked hard on the journey. I'll take you back to your residence first."

Lanqi counted the number of people, stood on the platform, and spoke to the people in front of him.

“…”

Hyperion felt that it wasn't hard at all. She really just went traveling for half a year, but she was embarrassed to say it.

And on the way back, she had even more fun.

When we first went there, there were two people and a cat, but now it has become two people, three demons, one cat and one fox.

Most of the time, Mr. Pranay would accompany Lanci, while Antanas and Shinora would play with her on the cruise ship. Although the two great demons were older than her, there was no generation gap or sense of distance when they got along with each other, or they treated her as a close friend instead of a niece.

"Meow meow meow, I miss home so much!"

The cat boss rolled over in Antanas's hands.

It gets along best with Antanas and is held by Antanas most of the time.

Boss Cat looked at the three friends from the Northern Continent with whom he had already become familiar, and felt extremely satisfied and happy.

Lanqi brought back three elites from the Protoss Empire, the enthusiastic and diligent Antanas, the dignified and gentle Shinora, and the steady and virtuous Pranai. It likes each of them very much! The key is that they all respect themselves very much, as if they were the guardian beasts of the country. It is flattered! Although it is indeed very powerful at the seventh level, it is not that bad! The cat boss is more and more happy as he thinks about it.

"call."

Lanqi was happy to see that the cat boss was so happy.

If everyone is satisfied, his goal will be achieved.

They passed through layers of gates and left the platform.

Lanqi's luggage has been checked in and will be delivered directly to the dormitory building of Ikerit College. Hyperion and the others have to go back to Cat Boss Restaurant, so the luggage has to be put in the car and taken back.

The group walked through the concourse of Ikerite Central Station. The noise gradually faded away. They found the reserved magical vehicle at the edge of the wide square and began their long-awaited journey to Ikerite.

The spring afternoon sunshine brings leisure and comfort, making the city look particularly beautiful.

Not long after we got on the bus, the brick-red walls, pointed roofs, and the tulips and calla lilies in the royal botanical garden came into view from afar. The colorful plants were like gauze and mist, exuding the fragrance of a sea of ​​flowers in the wilderness.

"Is this Ikerit? No wonder Talia likes this city so much. It really is beautiful."

Antanas held the cat boss and looked around.

Compared to Helrom, the style here is much fresher and brighter.

There are more dark and gray buildings in the Protoss Empire, and the city is full of a psychedelic feeling, while here there are more beige and white buildings, and the fusion of ancient style and modernity is clearly planned.

"As expected, identity is very important. As a citizen of the Protoss Empire, if you come to the Hutton Kingdom, you are an international friend. Otherwise, even if you sneak in, you are still an illegal resident."

Shinola, who was sitting quietly on the other side, couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the cumbersome inspection process when registering his identity and entering the country at the northern border of the Hutton Kingdom.

Fortunately, the second princess was the duke's daughter of this country, which saved them a lot of trouble. Otherwise, even if the three of them entered the country, they would have to stay at the border for an observation period of several months before they could pass through the confidential city in the central area.

Now they are all treated as guests of the Duke's family, and with Miss Hyperion as a guarantor, they can go directly to the royal capital Ikerit.

"Huprienne, it's great to have you here."

Shinora said to Hyperion beside her.

"Yeah? It's just a small matter."

Hyperion said, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly.

This was the first time she had been praised like this. She had always been a half-demon who was secretly despised in Ikerite since she was a child...

"Hyperion, please become a duchess soon. Then even the boss will cling to you. Let him fall at your feet."

Upon hearing this, Antanas immediately put his arm around Hyperion's shoulder, encouraging her with an expression of urging her to study.

"What are you talking about?"

Hyperion was startled and looked up and asked.

"Didn't the boss say that his goal in the southern continent was to cling to Duke Migaiya and then retire at the age of 20 in his hometown? Then, if you become the duchess, shouldn't the boss cling to you?"

Antanas asked back with a sly smile.

The Kingdom of Hutton was too peaceful and stable. Antanas felt that the king had become lazy since his return. No wonder the king had told Hyperion that he would help Hyperion rescue Duke Migaia and then rely on the Duke's family to support him in his old age.

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

After saying that, she looked out the window again. Vehicles were passing over the bridge on the winding canal. With the spring breeze, ripples appeared on the water, reflecting the shadows of tree branches gently brushing the water.

“…”

Hyperion lowered her head, leaving the demons beside her wondering what she was thinking or looking at.

She thought Lanqi's previous words were more of a joke at the time, but now that she thought about it carefully, he really didn't have any desire for power, and he could let go of the achievements of the Protoss Empire easily.

If Lanqi is willing to live a stable life, then she is willing to support Lanqi, but she always feels that it is not good for her and Lanqi's gentlemanly friendship to turn into a relationship that sounds a bit like keeping a mistress.

However, the more she thought back to when she first met Ranchi in the Northern Continent and saw him being led by the nose by that bad woman from the Tyrant Branch, Hyperion felt that she would rather raise Ranchi herself than let him come into contact with the kind of girl who would lead him astray.

After a few minutes of silence, the scenery outside the car window unknowingly turned into a bustling commercial district, passing by various cafes, restaurants, bars and shopping malls. The spacious avenue was increasingly filled with the atmosphere of life with people coming and going.

"Is the security of this 'Ikrit' so stable?"

Planai has been observing and found that the people here are extremely civilized and friendly. Vehicles will actively give way to pedestrians and are very law-abiding. There are no police on the road at all.

On the contrary, in the city of Helrom, humans and various hybrids live together in a crowded environment, which is full of uncertainty. There is a possibility of encountering an out-of-control alchemical beast escaping in the underground magic track, and chaos, crime and violence often occur.

"Pra'nai, meow, do you know how safe the area around Ikerit is?"

The cat boss raised his paw and tested him like a senior.

"What's wrong?"

Before Pranay could speak, Antanas, who was holding the cat boss, lowered his head in confusion and asked.

"Take the wild wolves outside the city-state for example. Many years ago, they were hungry and full, and they would probably attack passing caravans."

Boss Cat gave an example.

"And now?"

Antanas remembered that they did not see any high-standard barriers set up by farmers on the outskirts of Ikerit on the magic rail train. There were only ordinary fences, which did not look like they were guarding against ferocious wolves.

"Now, the residents of the capital often feed the wild wolves with all kinds of delicacies. They are almost fed to the point of having high cholesterol, high blood sugar and high blood pressure."

The cat owner shook his head, as if lamenting the world, "Correspondingly, cats have no intention of attacking people when they see them, and will even approach us affectionately to ask for food."

“Puff.”

Lanqi laughed out loud.

Pranay was the first to look at Lanqi, then instantly looked away, pretending not to understand anything.
