NOVPUBA man who thought all day long didn’t want to think about anything else, so he began to detach from reality and lived in a world only visible to him—
He wore a neatly pressed purple suit with sleek lines, his soft brown hair shimmered under the light, and his emerald eyes looked like two unfathomable lakes, naturally filled with compassion and contemplation where one could see the entire universe in silence.
He just stood there.
"It’s been over half a year since we last parted at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy."
The Lanci resembling Rocky McCarthy stood in a room on the second floor of the Brielda Opera House, his face displaying nostalgia.
After accepting Miss Duchess Cloris’s northern investigation commission in Herram, Lanci and Sigrid headed to the Northern Border Province of Protoss.
After a series of dangers, by the time they returned, Xido had disappeared, and Cloris was imprisoned for treason; it was their most perilous moment.
Even though later, with the aid of three from the Great Demon Clan, they managed to bury Asksan in the Congressional Building, they couldn’t find a way to defeat Duke Morotian.
Fortunately, the critical evidence left by Associate Professor Xido to the military finally forced Duke Morotian to reveal his true form, helping them achieve a total victory.
"How are you here! And aren’t you the Saint of Hegemony? So even this identity of Rocky McCarthy is fake?"
Tolyado clasped his head, staring at Lanci, hopelessly confused,
"I must be dreaming! My Goddess of Destiny!"
He would not have been as surprised now even if he had suddenly seen those long-lost antique friends from years ago.
Rocky McCarthy shouldn’t be here!
This guy must definitely be Rocky McCarthy.
At a glance, Rocky, identification true.
"Why are you two chatting again?"
Abigail was puzzled by Tolyado’s reaction,
"Who is McCarthy?"
She looked at Tolyado, very shocked, as if he had seen a ghost.
"I’m bringing you to the Protoss Empire on the South Bank of the Northern Continent, where you just need to stop anyone on the street and ask who Rocky McCarthy is, and they will immediately tell you who the most popular next president is."
Tolyado turned to her and replied.
"Huh?"
Abigail, confused, stared at Lanci.
Being such an influential figure in the Northern Continent, what are you doing stirring up trouble in the South Crayney Empire?
"Do you know I am from the Hegemony Branch?"
Lanci squinted his eyes and asked Tolyado.
He believed Xido’s goodwill at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy was genuine, even his little disciple Zestira liked Associate Professor Xido; after all, Xido was valuable for not discriminating against the Demon Race under the traditional views of the Protoss Empire.
It was also for this reason that Lanci was interested in this Associate Professor of history at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy and decided to audit his classes, leading to their encounter.
"Of course, I also know how much favor Sigrid was willing to break the rule to accept a Saint. To her, you were a treasure. As a Cardinal, I can clearly feel the Resurrection Believers below the Bishop level. Even when I was disguised as Associate Professor Xido, I could sense the Resurrection Token on you, and it might even be high-level,"
Tolyado openly admitted.
As a Cardinal, he, Tolyado, quickly sensed the Resurrection Token on Rocky during their interactions. After seeing Rocky’s contact with the Hegemony Branch in the school and his past in the Xi Nan Province, Tolyado was convinced of Rocky’s true identity—
He had ties with the Bishop of Hegemony.
"Then I watched you and Sigrid play undercover at the Nirvana Branch, and I found it interesting, so I helped you and Miss Duchess Cloris form an alliance, enhancing your connections and power within the Empire, thinking maybe you could stand a chance against the coalition of Asksan and Duke Morotian,"
Tolyado shrugged and sighed.
But the power of Rocky McCarthy was beyond his imagination.
Initially, Tolyado thought that the unrest in the Protoss Empire would last a very long time, and a fierce competition would unfold between the Nirvana Branch and the Hegemony Branch.
Even if Rocky and Sigrid’s Hegemony Branch could win, it would likely be a pyrrhic victory.
And he, Tolyado, would not have the capacity to return to the Northern Continent to aid them soon.
Unexpectedly, the Hegemony Branch ended the situation within a single day.
News came from the Northern Continent that the harsh winter of the Protoss Empire had passed, and spring was full everywhere.
"So that’s how it was, I really owe you one..."
Lanci pondered, resting his chin on his hand and replied.
Now he understood all the things he hadn’t grasped in the Protoss previously.
"Why did you come to the Southern Continent? Isn’t Northern Continent and Sigrid appealing? I thought you two were married."
Tolyado was still thinking about forming a great bond in the Northern Continent so he could go untroubled to the South Bank as Associate Professor Xido.
He never dreamed that Rocky McCarthy would come south.
And even disguised as his little disciple, Landry.
"That’s a long story, I’m originally from the Southern Continent, just like you, I used a disguised identity to go to the Northern Continent."
Lanci shook his head.
"Ah? You’re from the Southern Continent?"
Tolyado never saw many normal people traveling to the Northern Continent choosing to land at Lilom City in the Xi Nan Province,
"So why would you start from Lilom City in the remote Xi Nan Province, acting like a local, not like a normal tourist from the south?"
