Chapter 714: Lanqi's Imperial Dream

In the car, Lanqi leaned back on the soft leather seat, waiting for the journey to St. Clement's Abbey.

"If possible, Professor Landry, please try to reduce your contact with the military while you are teaching at St. Clement's Monastery. You are a talent carefully selected by the principal. If you mistakenly join the military, it will not be a good thing for you or the school."

Secretary Naira glanced at him in the rearview mirror and whispered to herself.

Principal Violet is already too busy with her work in the capital to spare any time. If she had to negotiate with the military leader, the First God of War, Hecintus, about issues concerning her subordinates, that would be a huge trouble.

"Don't worry, Section Chief Nicholas just had some misunderstandings about me at the beginning. I think once he investigates the cause and effect of the accident, he will soon clear up the misunderstanding."

Lanqi nodded calmly, took out a thick history of the Cretan Empire from his suitcase and spread it out on his knees.

"But Miss Naira, why do you dislike the Secret Service so much? I can see that you dislike them not only for official reasons, but also from a personal point of view."

He thought for a while and then asked again.

During the next period of time at St. Clement's Monastery, I'm afraid there will be a lot of school affairs. When I can't see Principal Violet, I will have to deal with the principal's secretary.

"Would you like the dogs kept by the nobles in the capital?"

Naira snorted and asked back.

"Ahem, is it really okay to say that, Miss Naira?"

Lanqi couldn't help but cough lightly. He didn't expect that the principal's secretary, who looked dignified and polite, would speak so bluntly.

"No problem. You can speak freely in Saint Clement's Abbey. It has been a holy place since ancient times."

Naira smiled.

"To me, small animals are small animals, no matter whether they are wild or raised by someone, or who raises them."

Lanqi finally answered this way to Naira's secretary's previous question.

"It seems that Professor Landry is a centrist."

Naira looked ahead at the road and came to a conclusion.

"Isn't this supposed to be normal?"

In Lanqi's hometown, the difference between nobles and commoners is not that big. Apart from being richer, the nobles do not have many privileges. Even the duke's daughter suffers from discrimination all day long.

His current identity, Landry, is a remote noble who may not necessarily be familiar with the capital, Brildae. After all, this is Landry's first time coming to the capital from the border, so he can just play himself.

"When Professor Landry arrives at St. Clement's Abbey, he will understand the clear divisions of factions. Most of the people who appear to be neutral actually have their own ideas in mind, but they just won't show them easily."

Naira tapped the steering wheel with her fingertips and said lightly,

"I really hate those dignitaries in the capital, and I hate those who serve them like dogs even more. Of course, Professor Landry, this doesn't include you, because you don't seem to have that kind of worldly air."

She will speak more clearly, which will further improve her work efficiency.

As a fallen noble from a remote region of the empire, Landry is eligible to join either side, depending on which side he considers himself to be.

Lanqi smiled without saying anything and turned another page of the book on his lap.

As the principal's secretary, Naira should have been neutral, but because she expressed her ideas more directly, the principal felt at ease and kept her by his side.

Outside the car window, this ancient capital with a thousand-year history shines with its former glory in the setting sun.

"Lanqi, why are there so many conflicts between nobles and civilians in the Empire?"

Queen Card Talia seemed to have taken a nap and now woke up again. She asked questions when she didn't understand anything in Lanqi's mind.

After she came to the Kreming Empire, she did not need to show up and did not have an identity. Most of the time, she served as Ranchi's magic card and summoned creature, so she did not need to do too much homework. Before, when Ranchi was reading materials every day in the Person Kingdom, she lay on the sofa, eating snacks and occasionally taking a nap.

After arriving in the Krei Empire and hearing about the actual situation within the country, she became curious again.

Originally, Lanqi would not be involved in the issue of civilians and nobles in the capital so quickly. Originally, Lovia was a civilian in the northern border who did not have a clear position.

But Landry's identity is very delicate.

It seemed that he would be unable to avoid this problem after he went to St. Clement's Abbey.

To help Hyperion rescue Migaia, they must find what Lanqi said, the underground city of the vampires hidden under the capital of Cretan, Brillda, the Blood Moon City.

If one wants to obtain the exact coordinates of Blood Moon City, one must first investigate the people within the empire who are connected to the vampires. In the process, one will certainly have to interact with many important figures in the empire, among whom there may be both aristocrats and the masses.

"Many years ago, the nobles of the Kreihe Empire had too much power. They could even cover the sky with one hand. Most of the power, wealth, and even media resources were in the hands of the nobles."

Lanqi flipped through the book in his hand and explained to Talia in his mind, "In addition to oppressing and exploiting the people, some nobles even began to treat civilians as no longer human. They killed and robbed whenever they wanted."

Lanqi didn't know why there was a book "History of the Cretan Empire" in Landry's suitcase, but the content written on it did overlap with what he was talking about at the moment, but the history book had beautified these parts accordingly.

"Will that not cause any trouble?"

Talia thought that the demons would not be so cruel. Although they wanted to kill, they would kill when necessary, but they would not care about your identity or status, they only cared whether they could kill you or not.

This can also be called a kind of equality unique to the demon race.

"At that time, the most extreme aristocrats were able to disregard human life and continue to escape punishment, which finally triggered emotions."

Lanci continued to preach:

"By the way, Tata, do you know that the conflict between the nobles and the common people in Cremorne is very intense nowadays? It is said that in addition to some common people who hate the nobles, there are even nobles who hate the common people."

Lanqi suddenly turned the topic back to the present and asked her.

"why is that?"

Talia didn't understand why Lanci mentioned the past accident and the current conflict at the same time.

"Because many years ago, a large-scale riot really occurred in the Botswana Province of the Cretan Empire. Many nobles were killed, and that day was called 'Bloodbath Day'."

Lanci explained.

"The angry civilians, who had nowhere else to go, armed themselves and rushed into the nobles' mansions in an organized manner, burning, killing and looting. In the nobles' homes that were captured, the men were killed directly, and the women were tortured to death."

"And those noble descendants who managed to escape and survive inherited the family. The psychological trauma still remains in their memories, and they place hatred on all the common people."

It was not until later that the emperor established a charter to restrain the nobles, appease the common people, investigate the nobles involved, and punish the mob that the conflict that had completely erupted at the time was resolved.

For a long time afterwards, the conflict between the nobles and the common people of the Kremlin Empire improved.

But that's only temporary.

As the huge disaster left over from the "Bloody Day" slowly fermented - the seeds of hatred began to take root and sprout, the internal conflicts of the Kremlin Empire have rapidly intensified in recent years.

Lanqi closed the history book and roughly told Talia about the current conflicts between the nobles and the common people in the Kremlin Empire.

"Then wouldn't it be better for us if the conflict was bigger? After all, we are here to cause trouble within the empire."

Talia asked tentatively, tempting him like the demon that lived in his heart.

She believed that Lanqi was very good at fanning the flames, and with her magic voice and gentleness, she could also perfectly help Lanqi do bad things.

“This is not the best way to solve the problem.”

Lanqi showed a look of compassion for the first time in a long time.

It’s like seeing the people suffering and not wanting to make them suffer more.

"…Then what do you want to do?"

Talia was puzzled.

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

"I want to make the Kreihe Empire great again and a sacred country that does not need war."

Lanqi looked thoughtful and said.

“…What the hell.”

Talia sometimes couldn't understand Lanqi's mumbling.

But she didn't bother to care about it. Now she just loved the poet and followed Lanqi to complete the mission of secret spy in the empire. She would return to the kingdom with glory when the time came. She thought that she would be very happy if she could receive the commendation.

When the special car finally slowed down after driving for dozens of minutes, Lanqi knew that he had finally arrived at St. Clement's Monastery.

The setting sun in autumn dyes the sky a brilliant orange-red. The maple leaves dance lightly in the breeze, swaying and undulating, with mottled shadows of the trees. The air is filled with the dryness and mellowness unique to autumn, mixed with the faint fragrance of osmanthus and soil.

The vehicle had unknowingly driven into a vast land. Trees were neatly arranged on both sides of the road. From a distance, the buildings, which were layered like mountains, were very large in scale. It was difficult to estimate the actual area of ​​the school with the naked eye.

The most praised thing about Saint Cremorne Monastery is the attached magic school, where the elites of the Cremorne Empire receive a comprehensive education, practice military training, study knowledge, temper their will, and eventually grow into the pillars of the empire.

The towering spire pierces the sky, with intricate window lattices. The walls are covered with colorful ivy, and monks in white robes stand by the door from time to time.

Lanqi passed through many places along the way. The monastery itself was composed of buildings such as the church, the cathedral, the knights' residence, the park, and the library, while the school building occupied another corner. The teaching building, villa, training ground, restaurant, and auditorium all had several areas.

It can be said that it has become a small but complete city-state.

Until the vehicle driven by Naira's secretary stopped in front of a building.

As if to confirm Lanqi's idea, the car door was opened by the guards of the academy.

The unique sense of tranquility and peace of the monastery hits you in the face.

"Professor Landry, we have arrived at our destination."

Naira's secretary's words made Ranchi look out the window.

The Saint Cremon Monastery has a long history of thousands of years. Its predecessor is the ruins of the Temple of the Goddess of the Moon, an ancient building that existed before the founding of the Cremon Empire.

It has extremely high historical value and research significance in terms of the changes in the southern continent.

Hundreds of years ago, the giant Kreming Empire did not exist in the southern part of the Southern Continent.

There used to be three major territories on this land, namely the Seros Empire, the Elsaya Sanctuary, and the Winwest Free Federation.

The Cyros Empire was named after its founding emperor, Cyros I. It was an absolute monarchy with a long history and a strong military. It advocated the use of force, the divine right of kings and the supremacy of imperial power. It was also the predecessor of the Cretan Empire.

The Sanctuary of Elsaya believes in Elsay, the goddess of the moon, and believes that this land is blessed by the moon goddess. Therefore, the devout people named the country the Holy Kingdom of Elsaya, and the royal power and theocracy are inseparable.

The Wenxi region, where the Wenxi Free Federation is located, has fertile land and rich resources, and is known as the "granary" of the southern continent.

For the common interests, local lords formed a relatively loose alliance and acted independently.

The Brildal region, where the Abbey of St. Clement is located, is at the center of these three forces.

The neutral holy land of Brildha is not only a stage for the struggle among countries, but also an important weight to maintain the balance of power among the three countries.

The Brillda Moon Monastery has always been neutral, following the duties of the priests of the Moon Temple. No matter what the conflicts among the three countries are, this will be a place to stop the war. However, in secret, several forces are vying to infiltrate it, intending to bring it into their own sphere of influence.

The Seros Empire covets the monastery's solid defenses and abundant resources, the Elsaya Sanctuary hopes to use the monastery's religious influence to consolidate its own rule, and although the Wenxi Free Federation is slightly weaker, it is also secretly trying to win over the monastery to balance the other two countries.

Finally, the war broke out.

The flames of war even reached Blildar, but the priests of the God of Healing and Silver Moon were always compassionate and helped the homeless.

After a long war, a hero finally ruled the entire southern part of the continent, ending the disaster and creating the Krewe Empire, the largest empire in the history of the southern continent, occupying nearly two-fifths of the entire southern continent.

Therefore, during the integration and revival of the Krewe Empire, many countries in the northern part of the Southern Continent began to fear this country, thus creating the prototype of the alliance of the United Parliament of the Kingdoms.

Fortunately, both the rulers and the people of the Krewe Empire remembered the pain brought about by that long war and actively established diplomatic relations with the kingdom in the north, which led to a hundred years of peace in the southern continent.

The Luna Monastery has witnessed the change of dynasties, the battles of heroes, and the arrival of peace.

The long-lasting disputes among the three kingdoms also came to an end here and a new chapter of the Cretan Empire was opened. The capital was chosen in the Blildah area where the three territories previously intersected, and was named the present-day Blildah City.

In order to commemorate the great unification battle and the nobility of the Moon Temple, the Moon Monastery located in the capital of the new empire was renovated and expanded to become the Saint Cremon Monastery, and continued to train talents for the Cremon Empire.

Despite this, this has led to the nobles of the Kreming Empire being divided into three ideologies later and even today: the imperial faction that inherited the will of the Seros Empire, the theocratic faction that inherited the will of the Elsaya Sanctuary, and the democratic faction that inherited the Wenxi Free Federation.

The Monastery of Saint Clement is led by the high priest, and each generation is headed by the high priest's direct descendants.

The current high priest and principal is Violet. She is powerful and is the sixth military god of the empire who is also conferred the Water Jade Throne.

"Please follow me. I will show you around the main hall of the monastery first, and then I will introduce you to Principal Violet."

After getting off the car, Secretary Naira put her hands on her abdomen, returned to her original standing position, bowed slightly to him and said.

Lanqi nodded slightly, and Secretary Naira turned around and led the way.

Since everyone asked me to write a long story, I will try to write more. However, the Empire/Blood Clan chapter is indeed the final chapter, and the Demon Clan Restoration chapter is actually a rather nonsensical plot that will only exist in the extra chapters. As for the Disaster Land and the Lost Continent, they are obviously not stories with Ranch as the protagonist, and this has been hinted at many times in previous articles.

(End of this chapter)
