Chapter 731 Lan Qi's wonderful plan to bring peace to the world

As night fell, Lanqi returned to the residence arranged for him by St. Clement's Monastery.

This two-story building in classical style has milky white walls that appear particularly warm under the soft light of street lamps, contrasting with the azure tile roof and dark brown window frames.

“Autumn is here, but it’s still a long way from home.”

Lanqi looked towards the north and sighed.

As far as the eye can see, the unique architectural style of the monastery is fully reflected here. Marble towers and flying buttresses are dotted here, verdant boulevards meander through it, and a clear stream gurgles inside the monastery. The sound of the stream is particularly pleasant in the quiet night.

After arriving in the Kremer Empire, every day is very fulfilling.

But this chaotic world made him feel unhappy.

"I know it will be hard for you to shoulder such a heavy mission alone in a foreign country, but I will be with you. You can tell me anything you have in your heart."

Talia felt Lanqi's loneliness, so she told him in her heart.

Whenever she saw Lanqi in high spirits, she wanted to torment him, but whenever she saw Lanqi down, she couldn't help but be nice to him.

"Can you really say anything?"

Lanqi's mind immediately became active, and he was even a little nervous and eager to try.

“…”

Talia felt her blood pressure rise. "You'd better stop talking."

She was afraid that after hearing this, she would not be able to control herself and would drag Lanqi into the entrance and beat him to the ground.

"Then I won't say anything."

Lanqi was enveloped by the cold and immediately became much more obedient, quickening his pace in the courtyard.

"When I was in Nanwantina, I watched you make those two cards and I found that they were both very suitable for you. One can make you kneel down and admit your mistakes, and the other can make you say less."

Talia thought back to the cards [Basic Etiquette] and [Friendly Communication] and felt that she hadn't realized at the time that they were cards that were perfectly tailored for Ranci.

"Then why didn't you use it on me?"

Lanqi was not afraid, but asked curiously.

"Do you think I would bother to use your magic against you? Sooner or later my own spiritual magic will be enough to tame you to the point where you will willingly obey my orders."

Talia warned him with particular pride.

She is the strongest demon king as she has the ability to read minds and have a magical voice.

"Talia, you are really beautiful."

Lanci responded.

"…Why are you suddenly going crazy?"

Talia didn't know what Lanqi meant, she just felt a little confused.

"You have a nice idea."

He burst out laughing.

A mere loan devil, yet he said he wanted to tame him.

"You just say that I have you under my control, so do those six marks belong to me? Is something that doesn't need to be repaid called a loan? That's called net profit."

Talia was stunned for a moment, then she understood the situation and asked him back with a bit of shame and anger.

"What kind of bandit logic is this?"

Lanqi seemed unable to refute it.

"This is called demon logic."

Talia corrected.

“…”

Marry a genuine demon wife and enjoy the life of Duke Migaiya.

Therefore, it would be safer to find a reasonable human female to play the role of a fake fiancée.

Lanqi pushed open the heavy door of the mansion and stepped into what was now his home in the Kremer Empire.

A bunch of delicate Phalaenopsis orchids is placed next to the off-white sofa, adding a touch of vitality to the living room.

"Meow! The divine beast appears!"

The cat boss called happily, and was the first to come out from the shadow, rolling on the sofa, eager to enjoy home life.

After staying in Lanqi's shadow for a whole day, it felt suffocated, but now it is very excited every day. Lanqi told it about the guardian beasts and the divine beasts, which made it full of expectations.

Of course, before that, it has to make dinner.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the carefully tended garden outside. The path was dotted with warm yellow floor lamps, like a string of bright pearls. It was the path they had taken earlier.

"Lanqi, meow, buy some food. I remember that the supply at home is running low."

The cat boss rested for a while, lay comfortably on the sofa, and waved his paw at Lanqi.

It got up from the sofa again and strolled to the kitchen to prepare.

"OK."

Lanqi took a quick look at the direction where the Kitchen Cat Boss was going, then climbed the stairs.

Except for the relatively smaller living room on the first floor, the layout of the second floor is more life-oriented. He walked into the study room with bookshelves on all sides. There was a very comfortable leather chair in front of the table. Through the window, he could see the night view of St. Clement's Abbey outside.

After Lanqi sat down, he began to operate the faculty and staff ordering system on the magic crystal screen embedded in the wall, which showed the on-campus branch of the food chain store Brilda Box Fresh.

It has been four days since he came to St. Cremorne's Monastery. He is no longer as unfamiliar with this school as when he first arrived, and he still needs Secretary Naira to make the order for him.

“…”

Before she knew it, Talia had appeared behind Lanci, with her arms folded as she watched his skillful selection of ingredients.

Every time she was about to say something, her lips paused and she watched again.

Lanqi is like a worm in her stomach. He knows exactly what she wants to eat tonight.

This is actually very abnormal.

If it was Xiu Bao, having lived with Talia for a long time, he would naturally know her food preferences.

But Lanqi not only knows all this, he can even accurately guess her preferences at different times and in different situations.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master. I have made you hungry for a whole day."

Two minutes later, Lanqi, who had finally completed the order, looked back at Talia and said.

"Please don't feel bad for me about this kind of thing, okay?"

Talia crossed her arms over her chest and looked away uncomfortably.

Lanqi always cares about whether she has eaten enough, which is a bit nice and a bit damnable. If he had been a little nicer or a little more damnable to her, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

"I'm going to make dinner."

After saying this, Talia prepared to leave the study and go to the first floor to cook with Boss Cat.

"Wait, Tata, let's study Landry's communication magic card first."

Lanqi called out to Talia.

She also stopped hesitantly.

"Which organization are you going to contact?"

Talia returned to his side and sat in the other chair in front of the desk.

"Miss Unity from the Allied side only said that she would try her best to help me find him, but she didn't say anything for sure. I'm unfamiliar with the capital of Cremorne, so the only person who can help me find the leader of Niksasende in the northwest border is this organization or the contact person Nigel left behind in the Person Kingdom."

Lanqi took out a stack of magic cards and answered.

In his hands are Landry's relics. In order to play Landry perfectly without leaving any flaws, he now carries Landry's own magic cards every day.

The most obvious one among the glowing magic cards was the pink translucent card—the sacred-level communication magic [Ultra-Long-Distance Communication Program-7] that even he and Talia had never seen before.

"Is it okay for you to find this organization?"

Talia looked at the magic card from the side and still felt that the pink sacred quality communication magic was too luxurious. This organization must be extraordinary.

"I won't look for it in the group chat. I'll go find number 1 to help me."

Lanqi remembered that No. 2 said that everyone in the organization would try their best to help each other.

Except for group chats, only No. 1 and No. 2 have the right to private chat.

That is to say, the purpose of this organization is to conduct some mutually beneficial transactions without revealing their identities as much as possible. From the pink sacred-level special communication magic card, it can be seen that the resources of this organization may be quite rich, and many things can be exchanged. It may be possible to get the identity of a woman from the Northwest Border Nicksassend Territory.

When it comes to matters related to your fiancée, if you go to No. 1 you don’t have to worry about other people knowing his identity.

No. 1 should be the only person in the organization who knows Landry's identity clearly.

Without much explanation, No. 1 will definitely understand his situation.

Just as the two of them were chatting leisurely, pink ripples like breathing suddenly appeared on the translucent card.

"What's wrong?"

Talia's gaze also shifted from Lanqi's face to the magic card in his hand.

"It seems like someone in the organization is talking."

Lanqi tapped the sacred communication card.

This time it wasn't No. 2 messaging him privately like last time, but a message in the group chat.

I have never seen any messages in group chats before. It seems that they would not disturb others by chatting during the day on weekdays, or they are all very busy. No one's real identity in the empire is a vagrant who can be idle and do nothing during the day.

The information gradually flooded into their minds.

[Mercy (No. 3): Can anyone get the information about the principle of magic fission from Saint Clement's Monastery? My boss is interested and can help you out later.]

Just one piece of information like this appeared before their eyes, visible only to them.

"Isn't this a living thing?"

Talia was surprised.

As Talia who inherited the characteristics of the Great Love Poet, she can share Ranchi's magic cards after Ranchi gives them to her.

"Number 3, I see this person for the first time."

Lanqi also scratched his head.

This No. 3, code-named "Mercy", should be a veteran who joined the organization quite early.

In Landry's mysterious communication magic card, the contact person was not marked with a real name, only a title.

Landry's title is "Justice", and his default number is 7. This communication magic card can also add notes to contacts, but Landry has not changed the notes for any contact.

The communication card of the person who just spoke should have the suffix -3, and judging from his speech, he is also working for other forces and has his own boss. This behavior is actually condoned by No. 1.

The organization was more flexible than Lanci had expected.

"Do you want to sell this intelligence? You have already given a copy of the intelligence to the Allies. The more smoke screens, the better for you."

Talia asked Ranci.

"I'll think about it. After all, if I send it out, it will make it easier for other people in the organization to associate me, No. 7, with the Monastery of Saint Clement."

Lanqi groaned.

He currently doesn't want this mysterious organization to find out too much about himself.

Except for No. 1 and No. 2, no one can have private chats. Even if someone can provide information, if they do not want to expose their offline identity, they can only post it online in the group and everyone can see it.

Since he was a fake Landry, the more he spoke before he figured out the rules of the organization, the more mistakes he would make, so even if he wanted to participate in the organizational dialogue, he decided to do it later.

The magic card lit up with a translucent pink light again.

[Qiwang (No. 9): I am also interested, although it is of no practical use to me. ]

Someone immediately replied.

【Compassion (No. 3): Even you don’t have it? 】

[Prayer (No. 9): Please, if I dare to inquire about this thing and then sell it, the Imperial Special Operations Department will probably come to my door within two hours. ]

"Number 9 is an information dealer?"

Talia looked at the messages that flashed by quickly and started chatting with Lanqi.

"He seems to be a neutral type. If the principle of magic fission is of no practical use to him, then it means he is not on the Allied side. And since he is afraid of the Imperial Special Operations Department, he is probably not on the Imperial side either."

Lanci deduced.

"Then this guy's business ability is not that good."

Talia spread her hands.

[Prayer (No. 9): Unless you offer a very fair price, I will get you the complete version today.]

Soon No. 9 sent another message.

“…”

It seems that the business ability is indeed good.

But it costs extra money.

Then No. 3 was silent for a long time, probably going to ask the boss.

Lanqi thought about it and added notes to No. 3 and No. 9.

After a while.

[Fiery (No. 4): Is your boss planning to resell it or research it himself? ]

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

Someone sent a message in the group again.

[Compassion (No. 3/Buyer of Intelligence): For my own use. Can you get it? No. 4.]

No. 3 replied immediately.

Obviously, No. 9 will be very expensive.

Moreover, it seems that it is not convenient for No. 3 to use funds.

If you want to buy it directly at such a high price, there is no need to ask for help in the group.

[Fiery (No. 4): I can't get it. I'm just curious about what your boss wants that thing for. Please don't blow up the capital.]

[Compassion (No. 3/Buyer of Intelligence): Don’t worry, we are not a terrorist organization.]

"No. 3 and No. 4 seem to know each other?"

Talia asked Ranci.

"It's possible. They seem to be quite familiar with each other when they speak."

Lanci felt the same way.

The smaller the number, the earlier you join.

As the older people, those with lower numbers may know each other a little bit, so they chat like acquaintances.

But I think so.

I heard from No. 2 before that everyone in the organization except No. 4 is in Brillda, and No. 4 is not in the capital at all, so even if there is a channel, there is no way to operate.

Lanqi added a note to No. 4, [Hot (No. 4/the person who did not return to the capital)].

The two of them were chatting in the study, and the messages in the communication magic card were still active.

[Struggle (No. 5): I can try to help you, but there are risks. ]

Another new member has joined the conversation.

[Compassion (No. 3/buying intelligence): No, no, don’t go if there’s a risk.]

No. 3 replied quickly.

[Struggle (No. 5): If it’s particularly important to you, I’ll definitely give it a try.]

"How come No. 5 is so nice? He looks like someone who is easy to talk to."

Talia rested her chin on her hand and analyzed.

And he actually had the authority to enter the Monastery of St. Chrysanthia.

But perhaps he was a very conspicuous person. Once he came to Cremorne Abbey and went to Classroom 4-21 of the Elliot Building, his certificate would be stolen immediately, and he would be easily tracked down by agents like Red Falcon Nicholas.

Even so, No. 5 still wanted to help his companions and make the entire mysterious organization friendly.

"The atmosphere in this organization is really good."

Lanqi marked the note after No. 5 as [Struggle (No. 5/Little Angel)].

"It seems that this organization is really capable of helping you get a fiancée. The information about the principle of magic fission has been blocked by the bigwigs in the empire, but there are still people who can go against the wind and commit crimes."

Talia felt that this organization's approach was indeed promising.

At this time.

【Loyalty (No. 6): Wait for me to upload the information. 】

Along with this message, there is a document recording the crystal results.

“…”

Lanci and Talia looked at each other.

Are there any experts?

The record that came into view was the original version from the Elliot Building classroom, which was different from the one Lanqi gave to the Allied spy Unity.

The version given to Unity was more concise and had some additional annotations.

"This number 6 won't be with us, right?"

With the name of "loyalty", but doing things like decisively selling out the empire's confidential intelligence, it can be called loyal.

Based on this inference, No. 6 is most likely also in the Monastery of Saint Clement, or at least someone who has the authority to enter the monastery.

"The timing of his answer was actually very subtle. He was probably lurking like us before... No. 6 might be trying to do No. 3 a favor, or he might be trying to stop No. 5 from doing something stupid."

Lanci muttered analytically.

Nowadays, interpersonal relationships are all based on inference.

But in the near future, their offline encounters may be inevitable. After all, today's conversation has made him realize that the members of the organization are all in this city, constantly trying to touch the core of the empire's operations, and there will always be inextricable connections and intersections.

"What are you going to label him?"

Talia knew that Lanqi was thinking about how to add a note to number 6.

"Let's do this."

Lanqi made a decision quickly and labeled No. 6 as [Loyalty (No. 6/Loyalty!)].

“…”

Talia is not easy to judge.

[Compassion (No. 3/Buyer of Intelligence): Thank you. ]

[Qiwang (No. 9/information dealer): It turns out that there really is one. ]

[Struggle (No. 5/Little Angel): Now I feel relieved. ]

Then No. 6 stopped talking and seemed quite aloof.

The others chatted for a while and didn't send any messages.

Lanqi leaned back in his chair and thought for a while.

It was the first meeting he had witnessed since joining the organization as Landry's replacement.

It is true that the organization is quite free, and it is also true that everyone wants to stir up trouble in the Empire. The latest confidential information of the Empire is exchanged so blatantly, and each of the participants has been around for at least eighty years.

Lanqi didn't think too much about it. He sat up straighter, put his hands on the desk, and started using this communication magic to send a private message to No. 1.

This is what this evening is all about.

Even if you just lurk and do nothing in this organization, there are still significant benefits. It is an excellent natural source of intelligence.

[Justice (No. 7): Can you do me a favor? I went to see Dax today. My research may be supported by the Empire, but I need a fake fiancée. She must be from the Northwest Frontier, Nicksassend. It would be best if there is a smart woman who can play this role well. If you are worried, I only want the identity and not the person.]

Lanqi sent a message to No. 1 using [Ultra-Long-Distance Communication Program-7].

【Friendship (No. 1): This is really a difficult question. 】

No. 1, code-named "Friendship", did not let Lanqi wait long before replying.

When the group was active just now, No. 1 was definitely lurking, watching the conversations of the members.

Of course, No. 1 knew that Professor Landry Wassington, the creator of the magic fission principle, was in the group, and that was No. 7.

But No. 1 will not expose the truth and will maintain fair rules of the game.

If I ask in the group, there may be more members who can get the identity of this female from Nicksassend Territory in the Northwest Frontier, but Lanqi doesn't want to reveal his identity yet, so option No. 1 is the only option left.

As the most mysterious founder and organizer, his connections must be very powerful.

[Friendship (No. 1): I'll go find one for you. I'll get you one in about a month at the latest. You don't mind a woman from the Resurrection Church, right?]

After a while, No. 1 sent another message.

Lanqi and Talia were both surprised.

Number 1 is actually related to the Resurrection Church.

"As expected of a veteran team... The Church of Resurrection is everywhere."

Lanqi said to himself.

"Have you thought it through? The female spies from the Allied Forces are still okay, at least they are essentially our own people. But I think it's best not to touch the female cultists from the Resurrection Church."

Talia grabbed Lanci's wrist and persuaded him.

"There are also good women in the Resurrection Church. As long as they can help, the Resurrection Church is the same as the Allied Forces."

Lanqi shook his head and entered the information again.

Seeing how determined he was, Talia had no choice.

[Justice (No. 7): As long as she is well-trained and can act well with me, I won't touch her.]

【Friendship (No. 1): Don’t worry. 】

No. 1 left this nonchalant reply and stopped talking.

Lanqi put away the Holy Communication Magic Card, and the conversation with the mysterious organization ended.

A few minutes later.

Study on the second floor.

"Meow meow, it's time to eat."

The cat boss knocked on the door and asked Lanqi and Talia to come downstairs.

But after it gently pushed the door open, it saw Lanqi and Talia were still talking, so it sat obediently on the carpet beside them and listened.

"I don't know if No. 1 is reliable, and I always feel like I need to make another preparation."

Lanqi preached to Talia seriously, and he was very confident in his overall planning.

"Then go find the operator at Person and see if Nigel can help you get a female spy identity. If the Allied Forces and the organization don't work, at least I can help you out."

Talia nodded.

If the spies from the Person Kingdom wanted to find them, they could easily contact them by sending a notice in the "Crewe Central Daily News". As long as Lanqi was sure, he would use the intelligence support personnel prepared by Nigel for them.

There is no need to meet offline with Person's liaison officer, information can be transmitted through secret reports. Unless it is necessary, it is not suitable for them to take the initiative to meet with the Person Kingdom's liaison officer.

"Wait a minute, meow..."

Boss Cat tilted his head.

It probably understood that Lanci had just approached Landry's organization to seek a fake fiancée as a backup.

The fiancée is more afraid of less than more.

Lanci's goal was to get at least one candidate who could play his fiancée.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Don't end up with three wives, or there will be fights at home!"

One is from the Resurrection Church, one is from the Allies, and one is from the Person Kingdom.

Boss Cat is afraid that Lan Qi's clever plan to pacify the world will end up costing both his wife and his army!

"It's okay. We are all hiding for our faith. How can we fight over a play? Do you really think that the wives they find for me are real wives?"

Lanqi bent down, reached out and stroked the cat boss's head, smiling happily.

He felt that this wave was really stable. With three parties asking for help, there would always be one party that could help him, and the probability that all three parties could send a wife to him was not high. According to the probability, it would be good enough to be able to arrange a suitable person.
