NOVPUBThe gentle breeze brought signals of spring, as if telling everyone—
We finally see each other, everything in the world will be reborn, and the wind will forever caress this land.
The next second.
The entire Congressional Hall saw a barrier composed of a current of air envelop the seating area.
Even though it was just a seventh-order wind-attribute magic of the purple rank --- [Sacred Wind Protection].
But the radiant light that lingered on the surface of the barrier, declaring the formidable power that constitutes everything in the world, the brilliance of the original slabs from the divine era was interpreted upon it!
At this very moment, above the Congressional Building, the accumulated clouds that had previously come to a standstill seemed to start moving again, changing the appearance of the sky with the shifts in the wind. The power that penetrated the clouds was the unique aura of the wind, gently caressing the sky and the earth as the clouds dispersed!
On the horizon of Herram, the dazzling sunlight finally broke through the clouds, illuminating the top of the Congressional Building.
In the Congressional Hall, astonishment filled the faces of everyone as they kept looking at each other, trying to find the person who had cast this magic spell.
Although they could not find where the caster was hiding in the seats, he kept his abilities and name well concealed.
But everyone knew that there was only one person capable of using this magic—
The Church of the Goddess of Destiny, the Great Priest, Loren Clarel!
"High Priest Loren, thank you!!"
As if wanting to let out all the emotions in their hearts, the imperial dignitaries in the seats all let out cheers of victory!
"¿¿¿"
Duke Morotian’s spell suddenly stopped, his lips trembling, his face pale from the scheming joy of impending success to utter fear. The intense panic in his suddenly constricted pupils seemed like a beam of black light, the appalling shock ravaged his mind.
He did not understand why High Priest Loren would appear here, even infiltrating the highest point of the Protoss Empire, the Congressional Building, deceiving everyone!!
Not only was it the top of the Congressional Building.
In the royal city of Herram in the Protoss Empire, the mood of the entire city’s residents was influenced by the dangerous situation in the Congressional Hall.
All the giant screens between the buildings were broadcasting this moment live.
When High Priest Loren appeared on the screen, the entire city seemed to be set on fire.
The crowd’s mouths dropped open, and in an instant, they were filled with excitement, and cheers and shouts were heard. They called Loren’s name, thanking him for his appearance at this critical moment.
"Loren!!!"
At this moment, the entire royal city of Herram was in an uproar!
Loren’s name echoed in every corner of Herram, becoming the savior of supreme kindness, benevolence, and strength!
On the other side of the remote Aestheland Kingdom.
In the capital, Gedaria, at the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, the Bingxue Witch was staring at the screen, her mouth wide open, but her throat trembling and unable to speak for a long time.
"What the hell!"
The Bingxue Witch couldn’t help but shout.
At the Franklin Congress Hall of the Protoss Empire, the focus of the Northern Continent.
Loren, who suddenly extended a helping hand at this critical moment, undoubtedly gave everyone in the venue a surge of hope!
His intentions were clear.
The Church of the Goddess of Destiny would take action. The Grand Sage Isis and the Bishop of Hegemony, Sigrid, could go all out against Duke Morotian!
The cat boss under Lanci’s shadow was almost in tears.
It felt guilty for High Priest Loren.
But in order to save the Protoss Empire, it was forced to help Lanci impersonate Loren and release wind magic again!
At this worst and best moment—
On an afternoon that even Loren himself hadn’t expected, he became the initiator of the story in the Northern Continent!
On the other side, the composure and arrogance that once filled Morotian’s face were now replaced by panic. His deep eyes, like the sea, were now fully turbulent. His original cool, almost controlling aura, was shaken the moment Loren made his move.
It was clear that High Priest Loren was the least likely, the person who should not have appeared here at this time.
And for that reason, he is also the most dangerous person!
Who can anticipate the jest of the Goddess of Destiny!!
Continuing to stay here would only lead to one outcome - capture.
Making the best judgement in an instant, Morotian charged out of the window at the fastest speed, racing away into the distant horizon from the top floor of the Congressional Building in the skyline of Herram.
What he feared was not just Loren’s combat power, but the "logic" of Loren appearing here!
Even if he died during the escape, he could not be trapped by Isis, Sigrid, and Loren working together!
In an instant, Sigrid and Isis charged out of the top floor of the Congressional Building and pursued Duke Morotian in the high skies of Herram.
In the center of Franklin Hall, confirming Lanci’s gaze, Pranay and Sinola also chased after him.
They would consider using Innate Magic if necessary, even if their identities would be uncovered by Isis, they definitely would not let Duke Morotian escape today.
All potential danger must be eliminated at all costs!
Today, there is no possibility for Duke Morotian to leave alive.
"Escaping after causing a scene, that’s unreasonable."
Lanci still calmly leaned back in his seat, watching the sporadic bursts of intense light and air waves in the distant sky.
And the moment it became safe in the Congressional Building, everyone’s hearts were finally at ease.
They are full of victory cries, relief in the wake of a disaster, and hopeful shouts.
This seemingly endless upheaval had finally ended and their excited hearts were filled with joy.
The Imperial Army immediately began to evacuate the dignitaries inside the hall in an orderly manner.
There is no need to continue the bishop’s election today to determine the result.
One person withdrew, then another, leaving only the Bishop of Hegemony.
Even if the other two could return, everyone knows that the result would still be the victory of the Bishop of Hegemony.
Her stance, together with the Grand Sage Isis, to jointly protect the Protoss Empire, has been recognized by the people of the Empire.
This indicates that the Protoss Empire will enter a new era.
With the orderly evacuation, all the dignitaries were cleared in a few minutes.
In the empty Congressional Building, the dim light of the story’s end filled the hall.
Lanci let others leave first, being the last one himself, with only Antanas by his side.
"Ah, the journey is always full of surprises."
As the last person to leave Franklin Hall, Lanci leisurely turned back to look at this sightseeing spot that was initially not a part of his plan.
Perhaps each glance he takes would be one less.
But it is enough.
He gives a relieved smile, puts his hands in his overcoat pockets, and strides away.
The long-awaited spring sun shines on the high windows of the Congressional Building, filling the entire hall with golden sunlight, adding a touch of solemnity and sacredness from the wartime a hundred years ago to this moment.
Here, the future of the Protoss Empire seems to be rewritten, full of unlimited hope and possibility.
