Chapter 723 Lanqi's Leisure Time After Class

The sun is shining brightly on an autumn morning.

The stained glass windows of the arched corridor of Eliot's Building at St. Clement's Abbey are filled with golden light.

Just a few steps after he walked out of the classroom, a heated discussion broke out in classroom 4-21.

"I'm sure someone from Imperial Special Operations will be at the school tomorrow to document this classroom."

"No, you underestimate those spies. They might be here this afternoon."

"It's okay. The Special Operations Department still has to give face to Principal Violet. Even if those agents come to the school to arrest people, they have to follow procedures. It is estimated that they will not be able to arrive at the school until tomorrow at the earliest. We don't have to worry about being disturbed. We can just concentrate on our research."

All he heard was that dozens of students in the classroom seemed to have gathered at the long table in front of the podium, recording and analyzing the principles he left behind.

They talked one after another, either asking questions for verification or directly sharing their own interpretations of the content.

Some students were so excited that they kept expounding on their own insights into magic. Their excited voices could be clearly heard in the corridor through the heavy oak door.

After finishing the course, Lanqi walked with his left side bathed in glow and his right half clad in shadow. His gray robe drew a deep arc behind him.

"Duoduoduoduodu..."

The little black cat poked its head out from his shadow and then retracted it.

As a fairy beast, it is not surprising that it appears in the school.

When it saw what Lanqi said and did in the classroom at St. Clement's Monastery today, it recalled some memories of the Northern Continent that it might never forget in its lifetime.

Whenever it saw Xubao's frightened look, it felt sorry for her - she was so cautious as if she had lost something before.

But as the saying goes, the smaller the ability, the smaller the responsibility.

Keeping an eye on Lanqi was beyond its capabilities.

"Be brave, Boss Cat. In ancient times, you would be a guardian beast worshipped by thousands of people."

Lanqi noticed the cat boss's condition and encouraged him.

"The guardian beast of the country, meow..."

Boss Cat suddenly froze and raised his head.

Originally, it had never dared to imagine being worshipped, but after following Ranchi, it obtained pink sacred cards, orange epic cards, and even turned into an eighth-level elf cat.

Now is the time of chaos.

Just establish merit.

The guardian beast of the country seems to be right before its eyes, and it must consider whether this is its only chance in this life.

"Do you have such a dream?"

Lanci whispered softly.

"I want meow!"

Boss Cat answered subconsciously.

"Right, Boss Cat, it's you and me, let's do it together!"

Lanci said confidently.

He cannot guarantee that Boss Cat will become the guardian beast of any country, but he will definitely do his best to help Boss Cat realize this dream.

"Meow! Come on! I'll work hard too, meow!"

The cat boss suddenly became much more excited, no longer afraid, and went back into the shadow.

Although the brake was not there this time, the accelerator was also gone, leaving only a useless clutch.

Think positively.

There was no way that Xiubao could come to the Kreming Empire, so it was impossible for him to be scared by Lanqi again.

Boss Cat immediately felt relieved, and even looked forward to being admired by thousands of people.

“…”

Talia watched silently in Ranchi's mind.

She didn't know why Boss Cat was so panicked just now.

Just a Ranchi who is not even a fraction of her age.

It seems that the start is a bit fast at the moment, but the actual difficulties are still to come.

Magic engineers only have the right to research and develop, but not the right to decide how to use it, just like magic engineers cannot influence politics.

As a princess of the demon clan, she was once a top magic craftsman in the demon world. In the past eight hundred years, she has seen too much and knows too much. She doesn't want to comfort Lanqi as a person who has experienced it. Magic engineers seem glamorous and admired by everyone, but many of them are helpless.

This is the fate of magic engineers.

In the field of magic, they are amazing.

In the political and military fields, they are just tools.

Since Lanqi has chosen to take this path, he must be prepared to be drawn into the vortex.

"The political shadow behind the research of magic engineering is indeed terrible, but Tata, believe me, I have always been a politician."

Lanqi heard Talia's thoughts and said to her.

"?"

She remembered that Professor Bolao had said that Lanqi had never been a genius in magic engineering, but a genius in management.

"Forget it, just do it as you like. Anyway, I will comfort you if you fail. I am the only one who can comfort you."

Talia sighed slightly with a hint of complacency in her mind and stopped chatting with Lanqi.

Lanqi is a typical example of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. He needs a mother-like teacher to help him understand the complexity of the world. Without any successful experience, it is impossible for him to not need her guidance.

She is now waiting for Lanqi to suffer a setback one day and then realize her irreplaceable value and status.

"I hope I can have less work to do these two days. I just got here and I may have lost track of my work list."

Lanqi also looked at the fourth-floor corridor of Eliot Building of St. Clement's Monastery again.

His current duties include searching for Miss Ifatia, handling the Duke's disappearance, investigating illegal buildings, forming a professional team, arresting lone vampires, conducting research and teaching at school, contacting intelligence personnel of the Person Kingdom, trying to take over the legacy left by Bishop Ivanos of Destruction in the Cremon Empire, attracting the attention of the Imperial Military, providing cover for Allied spies, and dealing with secret gatherings involving Landry's identity.

Fortunately, he has excellent time management skills, and some of his work has begun to be processed in parallel through multiple threads.

Talia: “…”

Aren't you tired?

Young people really have so much energy that she feels fulfilled just by shopping for groceries, chatting and taking a walk every day.

As Lanci made his plans, he paid some attention to the architectural structure of the fourth floor of the Elliott Building.

I will still have to attend classes here tomorrow, but I may receive a notice from the school and need to change classrooms temporarily.

This kind of thing has happened in the history of many schools, and it is necessary to preserve the blackboard writing for research, so as to slightly adjust the normal teaching location.

"teacher!"

At this moment, a clear female voice came from behind, interrupting Lanqi's distraction.

A girl with black hair and purple eyes came chasing after him in small steps. Her long tassel-like hair fluttered slightly and her cheeks were flushed from running.

Lanci, who was originally planning to leave Eliot Building, stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and had to turn back.

Elsa Wassington, Landry's sister.

He was also someone he had to face.

"Elsa, long time no see."

Lanqi looked at her with gentle eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said.

"Brother, are you free this afternoon?"

Elsa's tone was full of youthful shyness, but it was hard to hide the longing in her heart.

When they stood together, others could almost tell that they were brother and sister.

It’s just that the brother’s eye color is lighter, closer to azure blue, while the sister’s eye color is darker, closer to purple.

"Elsa, I'm so sorry. You can probably tell that I can't stop working lately."

Lanqi shook his head. His complicated eyes seemed to tell her that he had a lot of troubles and didn't want to implicate her.

He knew that Elsa wanted to invite him to stay with her in the afternoon, but he couldn't agree to Elsa's request, and he really didn't have much time to spend with her.

“…”

Elsa opened her lips slightly and murmured in her throat, "Let's go, brother."

She was about to say something, but swallowed it back.

If Brother Landry doesn't leave, more students might come to surround him.

He will become an instant hit in this school.

Not only the best students of the Magic Engineering Academy, but also other professors might come to Landry, those hound-like spies and reporters, even if they have nothing to do with academics, will keenly smell the scent of value and try every means to get the first information through students.

She was genuinely happy for her brother, even more so than the loneliness she felt at the moment.

Perhaps once what my brother wrote in the classroom today becomes a matter of fact, the imperial military will immediately pay great attention to it and take action.

Even she could see that her brother was researching extremely pure imperial military industry.

He had demonstrated his wartime worth to the Empire.

“…”

Lanqi saw that Elsa was so easy to deal with.

Instead, I feel a little guilty about it.

This child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. You can tell from her expression that her mind is always thinking about others.

"Elsa, have you been in any trouble lately?"

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

Lanqi paused for a moment and asked.

It would have been best to minimize communication with Elsa.

But he felt he should ask her.

Otherwise I will feel guilty.

"Lanqi..."

Although Talia was clear-headed and thought that Lanqi should not be soft-hearted and ask this question at this time.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you will make.

This will greatly increase the risk of exposure.

But she now had an instinct that made her unable to let go of this child, so she could only stop thinking about it and let Lanqi do whatever he wanted.

She inexplicably felt that this child looked a bit like Xiu Bao.

"It's okay, I just had a lot of nightmares recently. It might be my illusion. Brother, just focus on your work."

Elsa hesitated briefly, but still shook her head firmly and answered with a hint of a smile.

"Have you ever been bullied or wronged?"

Lanci inquired.

"No, no."

Elsa waved her hands repeatedly.

While Lanqi was talking to Elsa, he asked Talia in his heart, and Talia told him that it was indeed true.

"If you need psychological counseling, you can come to me at any time. I will take care of you outside of work. If you encounter any danger, please contact me at any time. Don't be afraid to cause trouble for me."

Lanqi instructed seriously.

He is now using Landry's identity, and seeing that the relationship between the siblings is indeed very good, he doesn't know how to tell Elsa the truth about Landry's death.

The only thing he could do was to protect Landry's sister as a way of repaying Landry's kindness.

"Thank you, brother."

Elsa whispered.

"See you tomorrow."

Lanqi did not stay in Eliot Building any longer. He waved goodbye and slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor.

Elsa still watched her brother worriedly for a long time before turning around.

Suddenly she noticed a familiar figure——

Watching the brother and sister from a distant corner, the griffin daughter Ursula shook her head and clicked her tongue.

She had left the classroom a while ago and did not pay much attention to the blackboard notes left by Professor Landry at this point in time. Instead, she watched the conversation between the Wasington brothers and sisters from a distance.

"Ursula, do you want something from me?"

Erza frowned slightly, took small steps back to the classroom, and asked the girl with purple hair and green eyes.

As a great noble of the Roland family and the younger sister of Marquis Ryan, the Ninth God of War, Amethyst Seat, she should not be a lady from the same world as herself.

Their relationship can't be said to be good, nor bad. They have just known each other for a long time, and often meet each other because of their talents beyond their age, so they have some intersections.

Because Ursula liked to tease her, she hated Ursula a little.

But Ursula inherited the fine traditions of the Roland family and had a strong sense of justice of a griffin knight. She would appear out of nowhere to help Elsa when she was in trouble, and Elsa couldn't hate Ursula.

"Just tell him directly. There's no need to hide it. Why are you so soft-spoken? You know, he just looked like a scumbag who was skilled at rejecting women. I feel like he has a lot of experience in this kind of thing."

Ursula spread her hands and criticized Elsa bluntly.

She could vaguely hear some of the conversation between Elsa and Landry, but she didn't need to hear it clearly to know what Elsa wanted to say.

"No, you can't talk about my brother like that."

Elsa looked a little angry for a rare moment and said to Ursula.

"I just said something bad about him, what can you do to me?"

Ursula asked, moving closer and puffing out her chest.

"I……"

Elsa gradually turned her eyes away, unable to speak.

He began to take a half step back to avoid Ursula.

"Your brother doesn't look like he doesn't care about you, so why should you worry about him?"

Ursula stopped and stared at Elsa and asked.

The reason why Elsa is so valued by Principal Violet is because Elsa has signs of atavism, which gives her the potential to be a Moon Priestess.

And this potential brings with her unique abilities and dangers.

There were many times when Principal Violet, who held an important position in the Empire, was away and Elsa might be in danger.

Ursula is one of the few people who knows Elsa's secret. It is precisely because Elsa is too considerate of other people's feelings that only to her, who is willful and heartless, can Elsa open her heart and speak without scruples.

"Forget it. If there is no trouble, then everything will be fine. If there is really trouble, I don't want to involve my brother."

Elsa whispered.

She knew the relationship between her brother and the gods, so it was normal that the goddess of fate would not favor him.

“Tsk tsk.”

Ursula no longer planned to instruct Elsa. "I haven't seen you for many years. How is your brother doing?"

Ursula put her hands behind her back, leaned against the wall, and asked the girl next to her in a casual conversation.

"Although I feel that my brother has become a little different, he looks a little strange, and in my eyes he has become much colder, as if he has lost the emotions that humans should have. I inexplicably feel that my brother is like a humanoid creature whose brain has been taken away by an evil parasitic beast..."

Elsa answered, with worry in her eyes at first, but finally a hint of relief, "But I feel that his heart is still so gentle, which makes me feel relieved."

She covered her chest and spoke softly.

"You are such a person, your mind is always thinking about your brother."

After hearing this, Ursula's expression became a little complicated, but she quickly concealed it and showed the frivolous smile she always had towards Elsa, as if she was mocking Elsa.

"What?"

Elsa's cheeks suddenly turned red and she didn't want to talk to Ursula anymore.

She said goodbye angrily and walked away quickly.

Ursula would never understand her. She was different from Ursula. She never caused trouble for her brother, nor did she deliberately make her brother angry.

Only Ursula would go to such great lengths to make enemies for the family without considering the feelings of her family members at all.

It wasn't until Elsa left the fourth-floor corridor for a long time.

“…”

Ursula was still leaning against the wall.

His eyes were lowered, with a hint of self-mockery.

"Alas, I don't know how lucky I am. How nice it would be to be noticed."

Ursula spread her hands, sighed, and walked away.
