Chapter 716: Lanqi only has eyes for the vampire base
The autumn evenings come early in Cremorne.
The red sun visited briefly and then left quietly after a short while.
The sky seemed to be dyed with a layer of light ink, and star sand and the white moon were hanging in the night sky.
After meeting with Principal Violet, Ranch left Violet's office and, led by Secretary Naira, went to his residence in St. Clement's Monastery.
"Did Professor Landry's interview with the president go well?"
Naira's secretary's car took Ranchi away from the area where the main temple was located.
"No problem."
Lanqi replied, looking out the window at the monastery view.
"Originally, I thought you, professor, would be a little nervous when you meet a god-level figure in the Empire's military. After all, that kind of realm can be called close to a god. Some professors might prefer to deal with me rather than go directly to the principal."
Naira talks.
Many people have an instinctive fear of Principal Violet.
"Professor, have you ever seen an eighth-level expert in the north before?"
In her opinion, there should be no local extraordinary and powerful people in the northwest border where Landry was.
Not to mention creatures like the God of War who are at the top of the eighth level.
Someone like Landry, who can reach the sixth level on his own, is almost at the pinnacle of the human realm.
If you want to go further, you can only come to the imperial capital from the remote border, or most of the border residents will never see an eighth-level existence in their lifetime.
"Yes, that is a man I will never forget."
Lanqi's eyes couldn't help but be filled with nostalgia.
"It seems that the professor has had many adventures."
Secretary Naira was aroused by his words. This professor really had many stories.
"What kind of man are you talking about?"
It would be unreasonable to say that Professor Landry had an ordinary past behind the mysterious aura that could not be dispelled. Instead, his generous admission made Naira even more curious.
"He always liked to wear a grey coat. He was an absolutely strong man, which caused him a lot of loneliness. Fortunately, I taught him how to love in the end."
Lanqi clenched his fist slightly, looked down at his hand, and said with relief.
"You taught him a fucking lesson about love. He'll probably hate you to death!"
Talia, who had been silent in Lanqi's heart for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.
At first she thought Lanqi was talking about Loren, and was about to comfort Lanqi.
It turns out he was talking about Lao Sang.
"Being hated by him to this extent is no different from being in love with him."
Lanqi responded to Talia in his heart.
“…”
Talia was speechless.
Although she didn't quite understand love, she felt that Lanqi's love was a bit distorted.
The vehicle stopped in front of a fancy mansion.
She stopped hesitating and looked outside through Lanqi's gaze.
Talia couldn't believe that the residence assigned to Landry by St. Clement's Monastery was a two-story villa.
You should know that although the accommodation at Ikrit College is hotel-level, it does not directly provide villas.
This shows the wealth of St. Clement's Monastery, as well as the treatment and respect it gives to professors.
But after thinking about it carefully, Talia thought it was not bad.
Originally, given Lanqi's identity, the publisher Lovia was not a very wealthy man. After coming to the capital, he certainly could not rent a place that was not in line with his financial ability, otherwise it would certainly arouse suspicion, so he might live a more simple life.
But now that Lanch has taken over Landry's job, it won't be a problem for him to become rich and powerful. It's also quite comfortable for her to live here with Lanch.
"Professor Landry, we're here. This is where you'll be living from now on."
Secretary Naira got out of the car very quickly, opened the door for Ranchi in advance, and handed him his keys.
"Thank you, Miss Naira."
Lanqi took it, picked up the suitcase and got out of the car.
What comes into view is a two-story building in classical style. The milky white walls glow softly under the monastery street lights. The azure blue tile roof and slightly dark brown window frames make it look like it has a history of several decades.
"Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Naira asks him.
"Can you ask the school to send some fresh food? Probably enough for a week, uh, two weeks."
Lanqi thought about it and estimated that the ingredients for him, Talia and the cat boss should be just enough for one meal for two weeks.
"Professor, are you used to cooking at home? You can use the monastery's intelligent magic system to buy what you need in the mansion. Generally, daily necessities and food and drinks will be delivered within a few minutes after you place an order. But it's late today, and I'm sure the professor is very hungry. I'll order it for you this time, and a school worker will deliver it to you soon."
Secretary Naira took out a portable magic device from her pocket and said to Lanqi while contacting the school construction department,
"If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time using the communication magic device. Professor Landry will officially take office the day after tomorrow. Please rest well and get familiar with the new environment of the monastery in the next two days."
Secretary Naira said, bowed and returned to the car.
"It seems that the academy has taken great pains, so I have to work hard as well."
Ranchi watched Naira's secretary's car disappear into the night.
Even when leaving, she was still polite and a model of a lady, but correspondingly, it was easy to get to know her and she didn't feel distant.
“How is it that every time you arrive in a new place, you immediately find a bunch of jobs?”
Talia asked him with her mind, confused.
“Maybe everyone needs me.”
Lanqi recalled that when he was in the Northern Continent, he had just arrived in Helrom and had four jobs.
"It's not impossible for you to retire at 20. You've experienced enough in life."
Talia sighed, and if she could show up at this moment, she would pat Lanqi on the shoulder.
Maybe for a guy like Lanqi whose talent is almost overflowing, it is not him who is looking for a job, but the job that is looking for him.
Lanci walked into the courtyard carrying a small suitcase.
The architectural style of St. Clement's Abbey is very unique, with marble towers and flying buttresses everywhere.
The main area of the campus is traversed by verdant tree-lined paths, with a clear stream gurgling through it. Even standing in the courtyard, you can hear the sound of the stream not far away.
Lanqi didn't feel much tension about being a spy.
The start of his arrival in the Krei Empire was much better than when he was in the Northern Continent.
After a tiring journey, nothing is more important than getting a good rest.
From now on, he is Landry Wasington.
Whether it is Landry's work or his interpersonal relationships, let him, Landry, handle them.
Lanqi pushed open the heavy door of the mansion and stepped into the villa that would belong to him from now on.
"Meow meow meow! There has never been such a wonderful start, meow!"
The cat boss suddenly emerged from the shadows and couldn't wait to help Lanqi check the mansion. He had been curious about what the new home looked like.
Compared to Tata who can't show up easily, there is no problem for it to appear as a spirit beast.
It makes sense for Level 6 Professor Landry to have a contracted spirit beast that is weaker than him.
A bunch of Phalaenopsis orchids was placed on the coffee table next to the off-white sofa, adding a touch of vitality to the living room. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a well-tended garden, and the warm yellow floor lamps were still on the path where Lanqi had walked earlier.
Lanqi took a quick look at the kitchen, dining room and laundry room on the first floor, then climbed the stairs and followed Boss Cat to the second floor.
Except for the relatively smaller living room on the first floor, this floor is more living.
The first thing the man and the cat saw was the study room, which was surrounded by bookshelves. In front of the table was a leather chair that looked very comfortable, and the view outside the window was also unobstructed.
"Why do I feel like you're living a better life since coming to Brillda than before, meow."
The king-size bed in the bedroom was covered with soft bedding, bathrobes were neatly hung in the closet, and there was a bathtub by the window. When the cat owner curiously turned on the faucet, hot water gushed out.
"This is necessary. After all, we have to take good care of the old..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When Lanqi had just said a few words, he stopped talking and couldn't say the next words.
"Old what?"
Talia has condensed from an orange light into a solid entity, standing beside Lanqi and asking him.
"Teacher, dear and respected teacher, teacher among teachers, king, master."
Lanci answered immediately.
"Heh, I've basically checked this mansion, and there's nothing wrong with it. It will be safer if we set up some isolation and detection magic devices to open a barrier. I'll write you a shopping list, and you can buy them tomorrow and I'll modify them before you can use them."
Talia said, crossing her arms.
These things may not be available in the monastery.
"good."
Lanci nodded.
Boss Cat's inspection is mainly for fun. If he really wants to check the safety, he has to rely on the eighth-level Queen Card.
In other words, when Talia is willing to show up, it proves that she has determined that the internal environment of the mansion is safe.
"By the way, what are you going to do next?"
She finally had a good chat with Lanqi, so she asked him.
So many things happened today that Lanqi's infiltration plan was significantly deviated.
"First, take root in this Saint Cremon Monastery, seek truth from facts, be a good teacher, and be a good citizen in the Cremon Empire. Give me some time, and I will definitely find the whereabouts of Duke Migaia and Miss Ifatia."
Lanci replied.
Finding people has always been his best job.
In other words, his purpose of coming to the Cretan Empire, to deal with the vampires, was closely related to the civil commission to find Migaia and Ifatia.
"By the way, do you know someone from the Krelian Empire named Alexia?"
Talia remembered Hyperion telling her.
At the second Shadow World Temple Villain Dinner, they encountered a team of three women, namely Adalis, the Saint of Destruction who was lurking in the Saint Cremon Monastery, Stysera, a direct soldier of the Destruction Branch, and the third princess of the Cremon Empire.
They were both third-year students at St. Clement's Abbey.
"Indeed, but it is not appropriate to look for her now. She should have graduated. Moreover, her status in the palace is quite sensitive. Going to look for her rashly will definitely arouse suspicion. The only way is to find someone who knows her and is trustworthy and get in touch with her first."
Lanqi promised to come to the Krelian Empire to rescue Alexia, and naturally he would not forget his promise.
This important anti-vampire ally could provide him with a lot of information, but her situation itself was very dangerous, and improperly asking Princess Alexia for help might end up harming her instead.
In addition, Sticera, a soldier directly under the Destruction Branch who had defected to him, is probably still in the prison of the Krewe Empire.
Since the Kremer Empire and the Resurrection Church have now started to cooperate, there should be a way to rescue Stysela through legal means. We just need to find a middleman from the Resurrection Church to help him get Stysela out in the name of other branches.
Such a well-trained local soldier from the empire can help him a lot. After all, he is a talent trained by Ivanos himself.
"What's important now is to create a presence in the empire. The three of us are too weak right now. We need to expand our business in the empire and make it stronger. This way, we will have the convenience, channels, and confidence to do whatever we do."
Lanci added firmly.
His biggest realization in the Northern Continent was that he had to have reliable accomplices to back him up, otherwise he would end up like Lao Sang.
It's really miserable to be a commander alone.
It is a truth that those who are in the right will have many supporters, while those who are in the wrong will have few.
“…Come on.”
Talia waved her hand. She had never seen Lanqi's entrepreneurial ability.
However, we have to admit that being ambitious is a plus for men, but of course they also have to take care of their family. It is best to strike a balance between the two.
It is too extreme for a man like Hyperion to only want him to take care of the family and not have any career ambition at all. Talia has never been able to understand Hyperion's thoughts.
"Just live peacefully in Brillda and don't worry about anything else. The only thing that might bother you in the future is taking you to the Shadow World."
Lanci assured Talia.
Although Talia's eighth-level strength can help him, there are few places in the urban areas in the heart of Kremer where force can be used. Most of the time when Landry acts as such, he only needs to behave at a normal sixth-level.
As for the challenge of the Shadow World, two months have passed since the last time, and the cooling down of the Shadow World has also been mostly over. Before setting out for the Kreming Empire, Lanqi contacted Hyperion through communication in the Person Kingdom, and at the agreed time in October, they entered the Void Gate in both places to challenge the final Blood Moon Destroying World Shadow World.
There is also a large void gate in the Saint Cremon Monastery that can lead into the Shadow World. With Landry's identity, it is very easy to use the right to enter the Shadow World, and there is no need to carry additional recording programs in the Cremon Empire.
In addition, small temporary void gates can occasionally be found in the wild, and illegal challengers often enter the shadow world through this channel.
Logically speaking, in a shadow world like the Blood Moon World that is bound to them, even if Hyperion does not need to go to Ikerita's fixed void gate, as long as Ranch enters, a temporary small void gate will appear on Hyperion's side. But to be on the safe side, it is better to enter together.
"Then Boss Cat and I will go make dinner. You can rest for a while and then come down to eat."
Talia picked up the little black cat on the ground and said to Lanqi.
"no problem."
Lanqi watched Talia and the cat boss leave, and felt like there was another cat in the house. As we all know, cats can cook.
Not to mention, if Talia could turn into a little gray cat, she would probably be pretty cute.
However, as soon as Lanqi thought of this, Talia turned around and stared at him. Her golden eyes made the air around them start to feel cold, and Lanqi quickly stopped thinking.
Her death stare, filled with shame and anger, seemed to be telling Lanqi that she could never turn into a cat.
If what happened before was exposed, she would choose to die with Lanqi.
Soon, Talia withdrew her gaze and continued to walk downstairs, leaving Lanqi alone on the second floor.
“I really want to retire, but my work is not done yet.”
Lanqi leaned back on the soft and comfortable sofa in the living room on the second floor.
As he was getting closer to realizing his retirement plan which he had planned more than a year ago, the whereabouts of Mi Gaiya became clear.
I'm afraid Duke Migaia is somewhere in this city of Bridal, but trying to find him without any clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But it doesn’t matter!
As a municipal planning expert, if given some time, he would sooner or later help the vampires find the coordinates of the illegal building in Blood Moon City and demolish it in one go.
