NOVPUBCorrespondingly, if they were to forcefully attempt to capture Duke Morotian, an Eighth-Order Powerhouse possessing the Original Slabs, disregarding the unpredictable success rate, if they were to prolong the battle, Herram would probably cease to exist.
After Duke Morotian was slain, Sigrid assisted the Imperial Army of Protoss Empire in a series of urgent investigations in the north at the urging of Grand Sage Isis.
In addition, Sigrid, as the Bishop of Hegemony, became a genuine partner of the Protoss Empire, which made future tasks exceptionally busy.
The last time Lanci saw her was in the afternoon of the day when the bishop’s election ended. She found Lanci and asked him to wait for her, then left with Grand Sage Isis.
In the time after that,
The news about Protoss Empire was all over the place.
Yet, during this prosperous time, Lanci rejected all interviews, expressing with his behavior his desire to gradually remove himself from the stage of Herram.
So he returned to his daily work at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.
On the other hand, High Priest Loren had become the object of people’s praise…
Even the Herram Broadcasting Company featured a scoring segment for the election of the Protoss bishop, with Loren, an unexpected participant, becoming the only figure to receive a score of 10 from hundreds of thousands of citizens. Many began to describe him as a second coming of the Benevolent and Holy Emperor.
Lanci remembered that Loren admired that emperor from antiquity, so he would certainly be delighted if he heard people describe him that way.
Although the Protoss Empire still chose to cooperate deeply with the Rebirth Church, or more accurately, cooperate with the Hegemony Branch,
Nevertheless, this country has also strangely become more accepting of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, from the public to the powers, all treat the priests of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny with the highest respect.
"You don’t seem to have any work today?"
Pranay noticed Lanci leisurely finishing his tea and poured him another cup.
"Indeed, I’ve mostly completed my tasks, we can start preparing for our return to the South Continent."
Lanci took the teacup placed beside him, expressed his thanks and replied,
"Once we return to the South Continent, your main job is to protect Hyperion who’s staying at the Boss Cat Restaurant. For instance, if someone makes trouble at the restaurant, just help stop them. Of course, eating without paying is absolutely not allowed."
There had been an incident where an assassin tracked them down to the Boss Cat Restaurant, but was stopped by Talia.
The Blood Clan and the Rebirth Church in the South Continent seemed to have a resolute desire to kill Hyperion, her threat of death would only grow stronger each time.
Although she had come to the Northern Continent with him for half a year, she might have temporarily evaded one or two crises of death.
But the pending death threat won’t disappear, instead it would all come at once.
Lanci thought about it and still felt a little uneasy.
In the future, the Boss Cat Restaurant will have four members of the Great Demon Clan, this should be able to protect Hyperion adequately.
Also, to give Hyperion a sense of home.
Hyperion left a few days ago on the Magic Power Rail Train, heading back to Milford Province in the Xi Bei Province.
Before she returns to the South Continent, she needs to report to her teacher, the Bingxue Witch, in the Capital Gedaria of Aestheland Kingdom on the proceedings and outcomes of this mission, after which the Church of the Goddess of Destiny will arrange a return route for her.
Even if Antanas wasn’t brought back to the Aestheland Kingdom, correspondingly, the Protoss Empire no longer has any tendency to go to war. The two giant countries of the northern coast of the Northern Continent are preparing for peace talks.
About a week later, Hyperion will embark on a ship from the border of Aestheland Kingdom, heading to the southern coast of the Protoss Empire.
While at the same time, Lanci will bring the Boss Cat and the Great Demon Clan members to join Hyperion, and they will return to the South Continent together.
It seems like they are running out of time...
Lanci looked at the calendar and pondered.
By the time he and Hyperion return, the academic term at Ichrite Academy will probably be close to an end.
When Dean Loren approved their topic at that time, it was stated that they could delay their return by up to two months. If they exceed this limit, they run the risk of being expelled.
Adding the two-month extension to the three and a half months of vacation, they have a total of five and a half months for topic approval. Under normal circumstances, even a visit to the Northern Continent should be sufficient.
Actually, taking into account the journey to and fro, they estimate that it will take more than half a year in total.
However, they slightly exceeded the scope of their topics this time, so Dean Loren should be able to understand.
"Understood, you can rest assured about the security of the restaurant, " Pranay bowed and replied.
"Speaking of which, can we expect a day when all seven of the Great Demon Clan gather at the Boss Cat Restaurant? We already have more than half."
Chin in hand, Lanci started pondering.
It was said that there were seven survivors of the Great Demon Clan from the Demon World. Now, four of them have begun to live a relaxed life.
If they can, Lanci hopes to find all of Talia’s friends.
She would certainly be delighted.
"Firstly, Almis of Ice and Snow is unlikely to go to a restaurant near a school. That fellow is already the Lady of Divine Choice of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, she would not have the leisure to put down her public duties to come down from the South Continent for a visit."
Pranay shook his head,
"As for the remaining two Great Demon Clan members, there are no clues."
"Who exactly is the last member of the Great Demon Clan?" Lanci sipped his tea and asked as he pondered.
The Bingxue Witch said she was a member of the anti-war faction, while Talia and her sister Isatia belong to the surrender party. Besides the three conservative members of the Imperial Prison, there’s one more that was part of the surrender party.
"He was the weakest general back then, primarily responsible for intelligence work in the rear. Although we were on good terms with him, his true form is unknown, no demon has seen his true appearance, even his name may be fake."
Just thinking about that demon seemed to give Pranay a headache.
"Wouldn’t he be the strongest among all surviving members of the Great Demon Clan?" Lanci asked in surprise.
After all, he is a general, not a civilian.
"If Princess Isatia doesn’t slack off, she might be stronger. The second princess has outrageous talents, but asking her to study or work is even more painful than killing her."
Pranay sighed.
"..."
It felt cruel to Lanci.
The second princess is not interested, while the first princess doesn’t have the talent.
But that’s okay!
The First Princess has her merits too.
She has a good appetite, which indicates good health, is bound to have a long life, and Lanci previously inquired about Talia’s real age with Antanas, and found out that she was almost eight hundred years old. By then, they should celebrate it properly for her.
"…"
Although Pranay prepared to say something, he decided against it, in the end.
