Chapter 730 Lanqi starts the fiancée matching mode

The top floor of the Imperial Special Operations Agency, a circular floor-to-ceiling glass atrium office.

"Lord Dax, I will never waver in my future work. I will closely unite around the Imperial Special Operations Department with you as the core, and follow your orders and remain committed to my mission."

Lanci assured.

"Be neither arrogant nor impatient, be down-to-earth and steady."

Dax listened with great interest and spoke highly of the young and promising magic engineer. "It's really worry-free to talk to you about work. I have to say that you and my student Nicholas are very similar in this respect. I think you two can become good friends."

Duke Dax praised with satisfaction.

The two talked about the development of the empire, Landry's research prospects, and personal ambitions.

Nicholas the Kestrel was listening nearby, and his expression became a little strange.

He also didn't know whether Director Dykes was praising or insulting him.

In fact, he knew how many people in the Empire called him, for example, Naira, the secretary of the principal of Saint Cremorne Monastery, the woman with prosthetic limbs and eyes, almost shouted the word "hawk dog" to his face.

"Although there are some people in the Empire who are opposed to your research results, I hope you will not be affected."

Dax looked at Lanci meaningfully.

"Leave those nobles who are holding us back to me. As long as you can contribute to the empire, I will pave the way for you. I don't care about your political stance, your true thoughts, or your private life."

At this moment, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the phenomena and see many essences.

But he wouldn't doubt Landry all the time like Nicola did.

A smart boss will play dumb, which is also a way of trusting people when employing them and not employing people if you don’t trust them.

"I will do my best."

Lanci replied firmly.

He guessed correctly that there would be resistance within the empire.

In addition to some conservative people who are afraid of changes in the world, there are definitely vampires who are afraid that humans will gain sudden and uncontrollable power.

And Duke Dax has always been a super radical. He will do whatever it takes to benefit the empire, which is why he was able to sit in this position.

The two of them almost finished their conversation.

Before leaving, Dax patted Lanci on the shoulder and watched him leave accompanied by the red kestrel Nicholas.

Lanqi and Red Kestrel Nikolai walked side by side in the corridor on the top floor of the Imperial Special Operations Building, heading towards the helicopter.

"Your mental state really makes me feel more and more like you are an agent, but not like an agent. Duke Dax invited you to have afternoon tea, and you really ate a lot."

Nicholas the Kestrel lamented Lanqi's mentality.

This kind of mental quality is not like that of ordinary people. It is somewhat wrong that he can remain calm no matter who he meets.

But he seemed a little greedy and ate all the snacks sent by the royal family.

“…”

Lanqi could only smile foolishly.

In fact, it was Talia who saw the snacks and asked to try them.

Feeling Talia's greedy look, Lanqi couldn't bear it, so he promised her to give her his body so that she could taste the royal afternoon tea specially provided for the Kremer Empire.

As a result, after Talia ate a mouthful of snack using Lanqi's body and knew the taste, she became even more greedy. The sound of her swallowing saliva could be heard in Lanqi's ears from time to time.

Finally, he softened his heart and compromised with her again and again, asking her to have another piece, until there was no food left on the coffee table as she had eaten it all.

Only then was Talia finally satisfied.

Lanqi now felt that he didn't need to eat lunch, and his stomach was full. Talia had already helped him eat.

"That's great! You've improved your work efficiency, and I've enjoyed the delicious food. Why don't you let me handle the meals as much as possible in the future? I'll help you fill your stomach."

Talia suggested in Lanqi's mind.

"No, that's too weird. Every time you eat my body, there's still a little taste of food left in my mouth, like something chewed up. Do you know that feeling? It's just like chewing sake..."

Lanqi spoke to her in silence.

"Stop talking!"

Talia interrupted Lanqi's words. She originally thought that there was nothing wrong with using Lanqi's body to eat, but when she heard him say that, she almost blushed.

She only now realized how Lanqi felt every time she returned control of her body to Lanqi after chewing the food! Lanqi and Red Falcon Nicola took the helicopter to the first floor.

Go through layers of levels.

Once again, we returned to the bustling lobby of the main building of the Imperial Special Operations Agency.

The clear blue sky outside is in full view.

As they stepped out of the gate, what came into view was a majestic staircase. The wide steps extended all the way to the end of the square. Lanqi walked down the steps slowly, followed closely by the red kestrel Nicholas.

"How about this, Professor Landry, our Imperial Special Operations Division."

Nikolai the Kestrel returned the visit.

"I am very satisfied. I am deeply encouraged by Duke Dykes' words. I will work harder to live up to his expectations."

Lanci replied.

"Then I'll have my men take you back. I have official business to attend to, so I won't be accompanying Professor Landry back to school."

Kestrel Nikolai nodded.

He would then take Landry back to St. Clement's Abbey and then back to the Imperial Special Operations Division.

"no problem."

Then, a brand new magic vehicle stopped in front of the two of them. Nikola opened the door for Lanqi. Lanqi nodded slightly to Nikola and got into the car.

The car door closed, the magic vehicle started smoothly, and soon disappeared into the streets in the center of Brillda city, blending into the endless flow of traffic.

In the car, the non-commissioned officer of the countermeasures department sitting in the front driver's seat did not dare to talk to the professor in the back seat without permission.

For now, the other party is considered his superior.

Nicholas the Kestrel also warned him not to say anything to Professor Landry except politely.

Lanqi didn't care as he sat in the back seat. He just quietly looked out the window and passed the time.

He had a lot to consider.

His fiancée was indeed a problem he had never expected.

Fortunately, there is no rush.

It doesn't mean that Landry's beloved will come over from the border right away, but there will be some preparation time.

First of all, the journey is long, and secondly, an engagement is no joke. My fiancée's affairs in the northwest border territory of Niksasen must be settled before she can come to the capital to settle down.

According to Duke Dax's overt and covert revelations and Lanqi's inference, the plan will be implemented as early as early November.

Therefore, it would be best if his fiancée could be in place by the end of this month. At the same time, Landry needs to demonstrate his upright beliefs in the empire, make more achievements, and gain more recommendations in the near future. By then, he will have a good chance of making up for his weaknesses in qualifications and being selected as the leader of this plan.

Before anyone knew it, the magic vehicle slowly stopped on the street opposite a building inside Saint Cremorne's Monastery.

The driver sergeant got out of the car first and walked around to the other side to open the door for Lanqi.

Lanqi thanked the sergeant for his courtesy and stepped onto the cobblestone road of the monastery illuminated by the midday sun.

Although Nicholas did not follow him, his every move in the short term would most likely be under the surveillance of this agent.

Only in the Monastery of Saint Cremona could Nicholas the Red Falcon and his men not easily see him.

In order not to reveal any flaws, Lanci went straight to his office, the Spurt Building east of St. Clement's Abbey.

The building is obviously much older, having been built decades ago, but the interior has been renovated several times and still looks comfortable. Today, the lower floors are used for small tutoring courses, and from the seventh floor onwards it is more of an office area.

Lanqi went up to the eighth floor with ease and came to his office.

The green campus scenery can be seen outside the window, and a comfortable breeze blows in from time to time.

“No matter where you are, you must work hard.”

Lanqi relaxed his eyes only slightly, then sat down at his desk and began to deal with the pile of letters and handouts.

In this tranquility, Lanqi soon immersed himself in busy teaching and research work.

In the afternoon, several professors visited Lanqi and had in-depth discussions with him on academic issues.

Several professors from the School of Magical Engineering have already made appointments with Lanci. They are all experts in a certain field. If the plan mentioned by Duke Dax comes true, professors from the School of Magical Engineering of St. Clement Monastery and even other departments may also be selected to become members.

They sat around on the sofa, regardless of age, moving between their seats and the small whiteboard in the office from time to time, discussing the feasibility of the theory.

It was not until the sun set and the sky gradually turned red that the professors ended the brainstorming session with reluctance, and Lanqi sent them away one by one.

After saying goodbye to the professors, Lanci sorted out some documents, locked the office door, and walked out of the Spert Building.

Taking a deep breath of the fragrant autumn air, he seemed to relax.

Lanqi walked aimlessly to an open-air cafe in the outer area of ​​St. Clement's Monastery, sat down outside the store and ordered a cup of mint tea.

The afterglow of the setting sun, the maple trees in the distance, and the wooden table in front of Lanqi were reflected in similar colors.

The evening breeze is mixed with the fragrance of soil and the coolness of stream water. In the distance, the Abbey of St. Clement is covered with colorful trees, and the colorful autumn scenery is in full view.

Lanqi leaned back in his chair, sipped mint tea, and took out his work log again, like a professor who was aimlessly enjoying his leisure time but couldn't give up his research.

The dusk deepened.

There were only a few customers in the café, mostly faculty and staff from the monastery, who came to take a short break and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet.

As dinner time approached, many people had already left, leaving only a few guests strolling in the garden or chatting in low voices.

Just as Lanci seemed lost in his own thoughts, a woman in a black dress quietly came to the table behind him and sat down.

She has a good figure and her black hair is draped over her shoulders, shining softly in the setting sun.

The woman's arrival did not seem to alarm Lanci. He continued to sit there quietly, staring at the work log in his hand.

And just at this moment, the surroundings seemed to be quiet.

Whether it was the sound of the autumn wind, the sound of the stream, or the slight crisp knocking sounds in the coffee shop, they all disappeared in Lanqi's ears.

An invisible small soundproof barrier quietly unfolded, blocking out all the noisy sounds around, leaving only Lanqi and the woman behind him.

Lanqi did nothing. The soundproof barrier was triggered by the magic device carried by the other party.

“You’re finally here.”

Lanqi didn't move his mouth. He was already wearing the mind-voicing ring that Professor Bolao made for the poet of great love.

He picked up the glass and took a sip, seemingly not surprised by the arrival of the woman in the black dress.

"I thought you would be more cautious, Professor Landry Wassington."

The woman in the black dress said coldly.

"This location is quite safe. Isn't it a testament to your willingness to show up?"

Lanqi didn't look back at the other person, but the voice was very familiar to him.

It was Unity, the Allied female spy whom he met on the Brillda train that day.

She was wearing a white porcelain mask that day, and even if she wasn't wearing a mask today, her appearance must have been disguised.

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

“…”

Unity, who was wearing a black dress, did not speak for the moment.

She picked up the coffee cup without hesitation.

The other party obviously guessed that she was looking for him, so he deliberately waited for her here. This feeling that everything was anticipated made her particularly uncomfortable.

She really wanted to find this guy as soon as possible, because according to the information from her colleagues, this guy disguised as a professor had revealed something extremely incredible in the empire.

After confirming that the other party had been to the Imperial Special Operations Department today, Unity was even more certain that this guy was the Empire's lackey, the number one lackey among all the lackeys.

Even if he interacted with the Allies for unclear purposes, his evil nature is beyond doubt.

While she was thinking.

"When you go to check out later, pay attention to the coffee cups sold in the store. I will hide an invisible video crystal inside. You can find it by sensing the magic power up close. Buy the coffee cups together with the coffee cups."

Lanqi suddenly spoke so that Unity behind him could hear his words.

"…What's inside?"

Unity remained calm, but her voice was tinged with suspicion.

She didn't need to use any magic props, as she was a well-trained agent and was good at ventriloquism.

"What you want is the result of my research."

Lanci told her bluntly.

"Why are you giving these to me?"

Unity couldn't understand it for a moment.

While she was still considering how to make a deal with this man, he had already proposed to give her what she wanted?

She felt uneasy because the task was completed too easily.

"Because this power cannot be possessed by the Empire alone."

Lanci answered briefly.

He found it difficult to explain the concept of "balance of terror" in a few words.

Often people don't understand until the world has truly changed.

"Then I'll take it."

Unity didn't hesitate and walked around the cafe, found the coffee cup that Landry mentioned, and bought it to prevent other customers from buying it at the time of the conversation.

indeed.

Without the Allies as competitors, the Empire would not have realized the urgency and would have taken Landry more seriously.

This guy's ambition is truly terrifying. For the sake of his own status and power, he is willing to sell out the empire.

Unity paid the bill very naturally and was about to leave when she heard Landry's voice again.

"Do me a favor."

Lanqi's speech made Unity sit back down in the seat behind Lanqi.

"What?"

Unity asked with her back to him, her expression grim.

Professor Landry's research is still in its infancy. If she wants to successfully obtain research-related information, she needs to cooperate with him for a long time. If the other party needs something, she must also put forward the corresponding bargaining chips.

"I need a fiancée, who must be from the Northwest Frontier, Nicksassend. It would be best if there is a smart Allied spy who can play this role well. If you are not sure, I only want the identity and not the person."

Lanci said.

“…”

This caused Unity to remain silent for ten seconds.

She was analyzing whether this man really had a mission requirement or was simply lustful.

This kind of imperial bureaucracy made her increasingly disgusted.

After all, given the other side's powerful strength, it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of Allied colleagues if they really lived in the same house.

The woman in the black dress tapped her fingers on the table, seeming to be still considering it.

Lanqi didn't turn around to look at her. At this moment, they were strangers who had no communication with each other in the eyes of everyone.

The sun sank half an inch further.

finally.

"I can't guarantee success, and even if there is an identity, I still need the other party's consent. But I will try my best to help you find a suitable identity. You also have to maintain your identity as Landry and continue to cooperate with me."

Unity said in a deep voice, then she stood up and left.

On principle, she would never cooperate with anyone from the Imperial Special Operations Division.

But compared to the brutal front line, espionage is also a battlefield that carries the lives of countless people, and she has to weigh some things.

One piece of information, one hour, may determine the fate of an entire division.

The war situation on the front line now makes her unable to sleep or eat well every day. Even her nightmares are about her hometown being engulfed in war, which wakes her up in cold sweat.

Even a careless word in her sleep could expose her identity and kill an entire line of colleagues.

She didn't know when she would die, or whether nothing would be left of her body. She was only afraid that her death would be worthless.

The intelligence in the mind of the ambitious man behind him is irreplaceable. Collecting his information from other channels is equally risky, or even riskier. It is uncertain how complete the information can be obtained through several channels. Seeking intelligence directly from him is undoubtedly a dream option.

After a long time.

Outdoor seating at an open-air cafe.

"…I seem to have been misunderstood a little too deeply."

Lanqi felt relieved that the Allied spies had gone far away, and thought bitterly.

With Unity's response, he could be considered to have achieved his goal.

Now he was no longer bothered by his suspicions about Unity.

If everyone regards him as an imperial lackey, it is actually a recognition of his acting skills.

If we can even deceive our own people, then deceiving the enemy will be no problem.

He bears and carries all the misunderstandings.

"Is it possible that you are misunderstood, and a large part of the blame lies with you?"

Talia felt that Unity was not to blame.

If she were Unity, she would find it hard to believe that Lanci was on the Allied side because he acted so professionally.

"Impossible. There must be a loneliness behind the glory. That's how Dean Loren survived."

Lanqi denied it immediately.

"Do you want to ask Loren? Why was he so questioned in the first place?"

Talia almost laughed out of anger.

She now had to admit that Loren was a truly honest and loyal man. What kind of saint could be so gentle to Lanqi all the time?

"I came out of the Dark Eclipse Demon Realm of the Seventh-Level Shadow World and really asked him about it. He just smiled and didn't say anything. This shows that he thought the same as I did."

Lanqi answered confidently.

“…”

Talia choked.

It seems that Loren really has no objection.

"Call it a day and go home."

Lanqi put away his work log and pushed his chair back under the iron table.

It is obvious that the intelligence scale of Person's comrades is not as large as that of the Allied spies representing the Kingdom of Canberra. It will take time to contact Person's intelligence agents. As for the matter of finding a fiancée, Unity should be asked to do it first.

As long as the allies can establish their identities, whether they come directly or he asks Talia to change her clothes, everything will go smoothly.

Even though this old Deng might not be able to play the role of his fiancée well, but full of flaws is the same as no flaws, and playing up Talia's own foodie characteristics makes it less likely to be questioned.

"……?"

Talia felt that Lanqi was becoming more and more outrageous.

"Traitor, I may not be willing to be your fiancée."

She muttered to herself.
