Chapter 304 Lanqi Obviously Has No Ambition

When the voices of the conversations stopped, the thoughts that originally flowed between the words were sealed, giving people an illusion that time had stopped.

The only sound left in the silent office was the ticking of the clock and the crisp sound of the drizzle hitting the glass outside the window, which became particularly clear in this quiet principal's office.

The books on the desk seemed to be immersed in this silence. The copper desk lamp next to it trembled slightly, projecting warm yellow light and shadow on the desktop, blending with the deep wood grain, creating a peaceful color.

Chloris stared at Lanqi's desk and pondered.

"So, classmate Chloris, is there something bothering you, do you need my help?"

Lanqi picked up the teacup, which was still a little warm, and put it to his lips and sipped it.

Chloris raised his head slightly.

"I want to form an alliance with Mr. Rocky McCarthy to stop this war in the empire."

She answered directly.

"As far as I know, although Duke Morodian cannot be completely regarded as a pro-war party, your family should be more inclined to the pro-war side, right?"

Lanqi is willing to believe Xiduo. After all, he has no ill will towards Zestila. More importantly, in his communication with him and from the words between the lines of his works, we can see his disgust for war.

But for this duke, Lanqi is not sure of her position at present.

"My father has actually disappeared a long time ago. The Duke Morodian on the stage now is actually a medicine man controlled by me."

Crolis sighed and said.

"..."

Facing Chloris's showdown.

This time, even Lanqi was stunned, and the teacup was suspended in the air.

He was not only shocked by the shocking words of the duke Chloris and directly revealed this kind of thing to him, but also by the fact that Chloris dared to do this thing itself.

No wonder when I first came to the imperial capital Helrom with Zestira, I had heard that Duke Morodian now refused any search for the [Original Slate-Undead]. With the credits of the Protoss Royal School of Magic, I could only search for the [Original Slate-Light] of the Great Sage Isis of the Empire.

It turned out that the [Original Slate-Undead] was gone at all.

"You are calmer than I thought. Don't you question how the Duke, the holder of the slate, could be missing?"

Chloris observed Lanqi's reaction, laughed, and asked.

In fact, she didn't need to joke at all. As for the truth, as long as she went to the Duke's Mansion with her, she could easily show it to Lanqi.

"For a girl whose father is missing, I will choose to believe her first, rather than question her. After all, she is the one who bears the most."

Lanqi put down the teacup, regained his calmness, and said with confidence.

"..."

Chloris looked at Lanqi and was silent for a moment.

It seemed that this conversation with Lanqi was the most surprising for her.

"Do you have any clues about the Duke's disappearance?"

Lan Qi asked.

"No, except that I am sure that he lost contact with me in the north. The clues are so clean that it is unbelievable. This is why I was able to conceal the Duke's disappearance."

Crolis shook her head.

Lan Qi nodded.

In fact, in theory, Hyperion could have done the same when Duke Migaia disappeared. If she made a wrong step, she would be doomed, and Hyperion would never do such a thing.

She did not even mourn for her father's disappearance for a moment, and took control of all the power of the family at the first time. It can only be said that Chloris is much more ruthless than Hyperion, and has a courage that ordinary people do not have.

If you think about it carefully, this step taken by Miss Duke Chloris may directly change the current situation of the Protos Empire.

If Duke Morotian disappears at a very bad time, people will rely more on the Resurrection Church, and the panic will be even worse, which is extremely easy to detonate.

Although it seems that Duke Morotian is one of the pillars supporting the war faction, in fact, he is also a key pillar to maintain the current balance of the Protos Empire.

The fuse of the war in the Protos Empire was originally caused by fear and resentment. Duke Morotian, as an existence that can suppress fear, cannot disappear.

"What are you going to do next?"

Lanqi looked at Cloris again and asked.

Her position is very clear, and it can even be said that it cannot be clearer. She must oppose the war.

The truth cannot be hidden. Once the war really starts, the Duke's affairs will be exposed, and Cloris's behavior will also bear serious crimes and irreversible public opinion backlash, and she will never recover.

She chose to temporarily take over this power by deceiving the empire, which can bring her great initiative, but she must also bet that this initiative can bring her a chance to defeat the person behind the scenes.

The person behind the scenes will naturally not expose her. If the person behind the scenes tries to expose her in any way, there is a risk of being caught and exposing herself. The person who spends a lot of time to control the situation is the last thing to see.

Chloris had calculated all of this, it was both a game and a gamble.

I'm afraid even the person behind the scenes didn't expect her to dare to play like this.

"Maybe I can keep dragging it out, but I believe someone won't let me drag it out. I guess it will take more than a month at most. When the cooperation between the Resurrection Church and the Empire is completely completed, even if the backbone of Duke Morodian is missing, the gap will be filled, and a war of equal strength can begin."

Chloris said with the same careless look, even though she was the one in the most danger, she still looked like it had nothing to do with her.

"So what do you want me to do to help you?"

Lanci is convinced that Cloris is an excellent partner.

At this point, if their positions are consistent and mutually beneficial, then the deal is likely to be concluded.

The good news is that her power now is far greater than he imagined. She controls the entire Duke's family. The bad news is that if you cooperate with her, you have to accompany her to make a desperate move.

Either lose and be a sinner for the rest of your life, or win and be a light for all eternity.

"There are not many directions for investigation at the moment... But since you firmly believe that those guys are not demons, I would like to ask you to go to the north to investigate. Although the hope is slim, as long as you can catch any evidence and bring it back, I and I will Associate Professor Xi Duo can use all the channels of the Duke’s family to expose it, and accordingly, our Duke’s family will also be your backing in the future.”

Cloris spoke slowly.

"The difficulty is that you need to find a way to get a pass to the northern defense line. The north is not only blocked in communications, but also needs a pass issued by the Imperial Defense Department."

Then she added.

Obviously, this was the only thing she couldn't do to help Lan Qi. If he had been connected with the Duke's family when he set out, it would have been quite dangerous to go north.

In the imperial capital of Herrom, the great sage Isis and other eighth-level warriors are stationed in the capital. Even if the enemy wants to cause chaos, they will only face greater risks, but it is different in the north.

"I have a pass, no problem. I just have official business to go to the north to do."

Lan Qi leaned back on the chair calmly and said.

There is quite a calmness and dignity of a principal.

Despite this, Xi Duo, who was sitting next to the sofa, still had his eyes twitching.

Because Lan Qi gave him the feeling of "having all kinds of documents on his body" at this moment, often this kind of overly reliable person would make people think that he was not doing serious work.

"Then please, Principal Rocky."

Crolis stood up, smiled and saluted Lanqi again.

Although she didn't have much expectation that Lan Qi would be able to dig out any big materials when he went to the north.

However, if he can really bring something back, he may soon be on the cover of "Empire Weekly". There will be many interviews and speeches. Even the countries far north will pay attention to Rocky Macca. This person in the West.

It's a pity that these reputations don't mean much to him.

He seemed too wishless, or without any ambition.

Maybe this is the loneliness in him. Even if he has accomplished great achievements, no one can share this joy with him.
