Chapter 667: Ranch discovers Hyperion's mother standards
After regaining their freedom, Ranch and Talia walked on the streets of the flower city of Paria at night, and the lights of the Paria Police Headquarters gradually faded away behind them.
They came to the open square across the street, and within half a minute, they stopped a magical vehicle.
Lanqi took a few steps forward and told the Huadu driver the destination. The driver nodded and motioned for them to get in the car.
They quickly shuttled through the night, and the street lights flickered past the car windows.
"You really have some face."
Talia was beside him, telepathically speaking.
Soon after he entered the Parriere Police Station, someone got the information and came forward to redeem him.
"I am indeed a researcher invited to the Person Kingdom. However, the Southern Continent Card Creators Association has arranged the trip to be more like a private tour for my information security reasons."
Lanqi answered silently.
Originally, Professor Bolao had agreed to meet the earl after arriving in the Kingdom of Person.
Countess Rosalinda did not want too many other people in the Person Kingdom to know that Lanqi would come to see her, so she did not arrange for anyone from the Earl's Mansion to pick him up, but asked Sheriff Zefa to tell him to come to the Earl's Mansion.
Of course, the Earl's Palace itself is not too far away.
Lanqi and Talia sat quietly. Perhaps they were a little sleepy, and they didn't say much to each other.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, it slowly stopped in front of the gate of a luxurious mansion in Pariel North.
The mansion is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Palieu, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
Lanqi paid the fee and got out of the car with Talia.
They looked up and saw that the main building of the Count of Asturias's mansion was still brightly lit, like a city that never sleeps.
The gate of the Earl's Palace was closed tightly, carved with a pattern of dark brown roses. Two guards in classical uniforms stood on both sides, solemnly guarding the courtyard.
Before Lanci and Talia could say anything, the door opened.
An old butler in uniform walked out. He had an upright posture and a handsome face like a carved knife, like a retired military officer.
"Good evening, Mr. Lanci, Ms. Tata, welcome to the Count of Asturias's palace. The Count is ready to welcome you."
The old butler's voice was quite gentle, not as deep and hoarse as one might imagine.
Lanqi and Talia looked at each other, nodded, and followed the old butler into the courtyard of the Earl's Mansion.
Passing through a winding garden, the spacious foyer suddenly illuminated them.
Famous paintings were hung on the surrounding walls, extending in front of them like a gallery. The floor was covered with long carpets, and every step they took could feel that the nobleman had decorated the mansion like a castle.
Led by the old butler, Lanci and Talia passed through several different doorways and finally arrived at the reception room of the Earl's Mansion.
The decoration here is even more luxurious. The entire wall that is several meters high is covered with floor-to-ceiling windows. In addition to the reliefs in the style of the Age of Gods on the stone wall, there is also a fountain connected to the interior. A mist diffuses from the edge of the pool. The soft candlelight and the noisy and enchanting light of the floor lamps bring a touch of warmth to the entire reception room and are filled with fragrant aromas.
In such a space, a gorgeous woman is sitting by the window. The moonlight outside the window shines on her, making her particularly dazzling and charming.
She was wearing a deep red evening gown. The rose pattern on the thin fabric gleamed and highlighted her graceful figure.
When Lanci and Talia walked into the reception room, the countess put down the wine glass in her hand, stood up and faced the two of them. Her smiling eyes showed curiosity, but also kindness and welcome.
"Welcome, Mr. Lanci, Ms. Tata. I am the owner of this mansion, the president of the Southern Continent Card Makers Association's Person branch, Rosalinda Asturias."
The Countess' voice was mature and magnetic. "I'm very sorry for not going to greet you two, but if I took the initiative to pick you up, I'm afraid it would be like telling others about my identity as the examiner."
Countess Rosalinda extended her hand and invited the two guests to sit down in a very elegant manner, and she herself sat down calmly.
"No, thank you very much for your care. I'm sorry to have been sent to prison right after I arrived."
Lanqi bowed slightly to the other party and thanked him.
This countess is not only the manager responsible for coordinating the Person Kingdom Card Creators Association branch, but she is also a platinum-level card maker herself, and will be one of the examiners who will supervise the exam with Lanqi.
"Mr. Bo Laao should have told you about me, right?"
Countess Rosalinda asked without any hesitation, as if she saw her junior classmates.
"About that. He said you were a very enthusiastic and steady student and hoped we would give you less trouble."
Lanci nodded.
Before setting off, Professor Bolaio briefly told them that the Countess Rosalinda who was assisting them was a Persian noble who was very close to the Kingdom of Hutton and had good relations with many people in the Kingdom of Hutton.
But she is too enthusiastic. If you don't want to talk to her, just ignore her.
Strictly speaking, Rosalinda is not Professor Bolao's student, but because she often asks Professor Bolao questions about magic engineering, she also calls Bolao her teacher.
In this respect, he is the same as Duke Migaia.
A magic craftsman who can make Professor Bolao willing to spend time to guide him must have good talent and skills.
"No way, why would it cause any trouble? Also, there's no need to use honorifics. We'll be colleagues from now on."
Countess Rosalinda smiled slightly and waved her hands.
“…”
Talia glanced at Lanqi. She remembered that Professor Bolao had never said this. It was completely interpreted by Lanqi.
But it does seem to make women happy.
"Alas, I originally thought that the Eastern Region Platinum Card Creator Examination would not be held this year, but luckily you suddenly appeared, Lanqi."
Rosalinda leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.
"What's going on with your Hutton Kingdom? Why do you always have talented new card makers?"
She looked at Lanqi again and asked with interest.
There are many kinds of geniuses.
Normally speaking, young people who can participate in the platinum-level card maker competition are already considered phenomenal newcomers. However, Lanqi and Migaiya are both dominant newcomers who do not need much precipitation and can overwhelm everyone as soon as they appear.
"I can't compare to Duke Migaiya who is the same age as me. At least if I were to participate in the Platinum Card Creator Competition, I could only win by chance, while Duke Migaiya passed with a crushing victory."
Lanqi shook his head and muttered to himself.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"You are too modest. Mr. Bo Laao mentioned that you are not a technical talent but a management talent. It is hard to imagine what your real talent is to be evaluated by Mr. Bo Laao like this."
Countess Rosalinda laughed, "But isn't little Hyperion here this time? I heard from Mr. Bolaio that the three of you have a very good relationship."
She picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then looked at Lanqi and Talia and asked.
"For safety reasons, it's better not to let her travel far in the near future. Even the Resurrection Church is targeting her."
Lanci replied.
"Oh, what a pity. I was hoping to have a rare chance to get along well with her."
Countess Rosalinda looked back and sighed.
"You have a bad relationship with her?"
Talia asked.
She looked calm, but obviously concerned about everything related to Hyperion.
"I've seen her when she was a child, but she didn't like me."
Countess Rosalinda helplessly raised her hand to indicate the height, which was roughly the height of Hyperion when she was only a few years old.
She was only in her twenties at that time.
"Why."
Talia's voice gradually became more distant.
If it's someone Hyperion doesn't like, then she probably won't like him either.
"Maybe I want to be her stepmother? But she doesn't agree with me?"
Countess Rosalinda replied without disguising herself.
Talia almost choked.
She hadn't expected the countess to be so straightforward.
Lanqi shook his head to himself.
I thought Hyperion would accept anyone who came to her mother, but I didn't expect that she was actually very picky.
The three mothers who are currently recognized by Hyperion seem to have something in common - they are cold, have a demonic aura, and are very old.
However, Miss Rosalinda, who looked very popular at first glance, obviously did not meet Hyperion's imagination.
“……!”
Talia seemed to have heard what Lanqi was thinking at the moment. She bit her lip, reached behind Lanqi, and pinched his waist hard.
Lanqi shuddered in pain, but tried to keep a straight face in order to remain dignified.
"By the way, do you like Mr. Mi Gaiya?"
Lanqi suppressed the pain and used words to divert Countess Rosalinda's attention so that she would not notice his and Talia's little actions.
"Yes, I hinted to him several times. I believe he understood my thoughts, but he refused."
Countess Rosalinda suddenly became sentimental, as if she had opened her mouth, and drank the wine in her glass.
"I don't know what kind of magic the woman who abandoned him had that could make him so obsessed. To be honest, she was a mysterious demon who wandered from the northern continent. She was lazy and had a bad temper, but he dared to take her in at home. This kind of special affection really makes people jealous. What's wrong with me!"
The count put the wine glass heavily on the table, as if she had found someone to talk to, and she said to Lanqi and Talia with reluctance.
