Chapter 571 Lanqi's Invisible Guardian
They drove the streamlined magic speedboat across the bay. The lights on the bridge reflected a dim light through the water, and the skyline of the Demon King's city, Nakaris, was still not visible in the distance.
"The vampire envoy will arrive at the Demon King's City today. It is estimated that it will not be dawn until the morning."
Lysandra sighed as she looked at the night sky at six o'clock.
In order to welcome the visiting vampire envoys, the demons even opened a sky curtain barrier in the royal capital of Nakalis, blocking the sunlight like a solar eclipse.
Looking towards the bay of Naika Island in the distance, the dark buildings and short mansions on the opposite bank look as dreamy as if they were built with dark gold. The city of Naikaris is still full of mystery and beauty, just like the fascination at first sight at dawn.
The amber magic vehicle flew rapidly across the sea.
Just as they were speeding parallel to the viaduct, getting closer and closer to Naika Island, the sound of flapping wings was heard, and a small dragon cavalry officer caught up with them with difficulty.
"Stop! Get checked!"
The demon police officer shouted sternly above the wind and waves.
Today is the day when the vampire envoy comes to visit. Several traffic routes near the palace of Naika Island have been blocked and speed limits have been imposed. Unexpectedly, some demons would take the sea route and head straight towards the palace today.
"I work at the palace..."
Lysandra quickly turned around and said weakly.
Before she finished speaking.
"No need to worry, Lysandra."
Lanci's voice was loud and firm, and he showed no intention of slowing down.
He simply took out a document from the drawer on the driver's side, picked it up without looking back, and let the demon police officer chasing behind him see the content on it.
“It’s you!”
The demon police officer immediately saluted, his voice full of respect, and pulled the reins of the flying dragon and turned the direction instantly.
"I'll recognize you next time, Mr. McCarthy. I'm so sorry!"
“…”
Lisandra looked back at the demon police officer who was gradually moving away, and then looked at McCarthy beside her in surprise.
"I did their boss a small favor."
Lanci explained to Lisandra,
"Normally I wouldn't drive this fast, but today the situation is special and I need to make sure you get to the palace on time. But I promise I didn't exceed the speed limit. I never break traffic rules."
He threw the certificate back into the drawer, and saw a book of the current version of the laws and regulations of the demon world lying inside.
"oh."
Lysandra was stunned for a long time.
Only at this moment did she realize that the demon next to her who was as easy to get along with as a princess was actually a being from another world.
He is incredibly rich and powerful in the Demon King's City of Nakalis, and has friends everywhere who are willing to help him, just like how he easily charmed Miss Tia yesterday.
Soon, they successfully landed on the other side and got back on the road.
The closer you get to the Naika Island Palace, the more congested the traffic becomes.
"To be honest, this is my first time in the palace of Naika Island."
Lanqi looked at the time and turned off the Demon City radio program in the car.
In the center of this bustling city, you can hear the radio programs on speakers everywhere without turning on your personal equipment.
He was sure that driving slowly at this distance would not make Lysandra late, so he walked over alone without letting her get out of the car.
"After all, you just arrived in the capital city of Nakaris not long ago."
Lysandra stood up a little in her seat and looked out at the square outside the palace, which was full of demons on the streets.
Traffic was extremely congested today because some roads were blocked. She might have been late for work even if she had gone to work as usual. Fortunately, she chose to take the water route.
"Thank goodness you gave me a ride today, Mr. McCarthy."
Lysandra said with a rare hint of resentment.
In fact, she was somewhat dissatisfied with the arrival of the vampire envoy.
Why should they sacrifice half a day to provide convenience to the vampires when they come during the day? This kind of weak treaty makes them seem like they have to be subservient to the vampires in every way.
"I also think that blocking traffic like this is not very reasonable, and it is even more unreasonable to spend the tax revenue of the demon world to open the extremely expensive sky curtain barrier. The only thing that makes everyone happy is that maybe they can come here to watch a vampire show this morning."
Lanqi leaned back in his chair and drove slowly. The demons walking beside him walked past the convertible window.
"It is said that this Count Sergio is a top-notch detective among the vampires. Today, many powerful people in the demon clan want to see his reasoning process."
Lysandra agreed.
Although she and McCarthy agreed that they both wanted to scold the vampires, her position did not allow her to insult them in person.
For most of the demons who gathered here early to watch the fun, this was a unique detective show.
Of course, this is also related to Sergio's power.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He basically uses the results to prove the process.
Count Sergio can first find out who the murderer is based on his power. Of course, this cannot be used as direct evidence, because only his own perspective can see the murderer based on his power, and what he has to do is to prove it.
Since vampires prefer the dark night, today's visit should have started before she went to work.
Now, Lisandra and Lanci looked at the magic screen on the high building outside the window and saw how the vampire count was being received in the square in front of the palace.
"The princess is calmer than I thought."
Lysandra sighed.
I don’t know if the princess can really conclude that the murderer is not a demon, or if she has a backup plan to deal with the vampire detective.
She was not the only one who thought so. The walking demons passing by outside the convertible also made comments from time to time.
But McCarthy didn't respond.
Lysandra turned her head and saw McCarthy looking at Princess Hyperion on the giant screen, smiling slightly.
"The princess is beautiful, isn't she?"
Lysandra asked tentatively.
She seldom saw a princess in her best attire, but she did not expect Rocky McCarthy to be so engrossed in watching her.
The dancing steps in front of the palace were shining. She had an exquisite face and was extremely graceful. Her long silver hair fell like a waterfall, softly covering her light blue skirt. The hem of her skirt fluttered lightly on the steps as she walked down step by step.
"Um."
Lanqi hesitated for a moment and nodded in response.
"It's a pity that everyone only sees the princess's brilliance at the moment, but they don't know that she is the one who is truly being tested today."
Lysandra said regretfully.
On an occasion like today, she was not even qualified to accompany the princess. The only one who followed the princess was Lord Kaliera, the Fallen, who was protecting her safety.
"Don't worry, Her Highness Princess is obviously a lucky demon. Maybe this blood clan earl's reasoning show will be over soon, and the princess won't encounter any trouble."
Lanqi said with a very optimistic smile.
It feels like it's over before it even began.
"I hope so..."
Lysandra muttered to herself worriedly.
Mr. McCarthy made it sound too easy. How could one solve a problem instantly by simply paying some intangible price?
