Chapter 306: Lanqi Clearly Distinguishes Between Public and Private Affairs

Rock Box Mountain is one of the transportation hub city-states in the northern part of the Protos Empire.

It is surrounded by rolling mountains, and the meandering rivers in the mountains pass through the city, which will bring endless vitality to the city when spring comes.

The architectural style is deeply influenced by mountain elements, mainly using stone and wood, and cleverly blends with the surrounding natural landscape.

But this year's weather has been weird and extremely cold.

Even the cities in the southern part of the empire that are warm all year round are said to have snowed at the beginning of winter.

It's already early March, and there's still no sign of the cold wave fading away. Heavy snow will even fall from time to time, dyeing most of the city's buildings white, blending perfectly with the surrounding snow scenery and ice-capped mountains.

The magic train station in Box Mountain is located on the westernmost side of the city-state, known as the "Rock Intersection". It is one of the busiest transportation transfer stations in the entire city-state and even in the north. The building itself is an ingenious work of art, combined with modern technology. The building is built with traditional stone processing methods, making it both strong and insulated from cold winds.

On the railway tracks at the station, the sound of brakes and the friction between wheels and rails gradually became louder.

A magic train from the south quickly entered the platform level.

Inside the carriage, next to the window seat in the front row.

"It looks like it's already a controlled area at this point."

Lan Qi closed the book in his hand with one hand, put it away, looked at the slowly slowing scenery outside the window and muttered to himself.

According to the itinerary, the two of them should get off the train in this city, and then transfer to the next train after passing inspection.

In other words, all passengers who come to this station have only two choices after passing the identity check.

Continuing all the way to the north is the northern border front.

Turning to the west, you will arrive at the Northwest Province, which is also the province that borders the Kingdom of Estherland.

"To be honest, I've never been here before."

Sid yawned and covered his mouth.

When the three bishops chose to preach, the Hegemonic Catholic Church chose the south bank, which is relatively stable and conservative, while Bishop Annihilation chose the north and west of the imperial capital, which is the most chaotic and close to the battle lines. Bishop Mourning chose the relatively wealthy but most aristocratic city. To the east of the complex imperial capital.

Almost one third each, with the imperial capital Herrom as the intersection.

From the moment Lanqi and West Germany started heading north, there were no longer any priests from the silver-armored Overlord branch. Instead, there were priests of Annihilation who mainly wore dark gray clothes and priests of mourning who mainly wore dark blue clothes. Arriving at the control zone a little further north, there is only the Priest of Annihilation.

"Why don't you choose the east side?"

Lan Qi asked curiously.

Although these are issues that should not be discussed casually in public, it is precisely because other people will not understand what the two of them are talking about that there is no problem.

"The nobles in the east are very powerful and have many powerful people. Their relationships and factions are very stable. If you go there, you have to either please those big nobles or reach many cooperative relationships with them."

Syd said, crossing his arms.

In the public election that will be held in the imperial capital in more than a month, a large part of the votes will be in the hands of the nobles in the House of Lords and officials in the House of Commons.

Although choosing the east side obviously has a big advantage in the total number of key votes.

But she is obviously not willing to talk to the powerful people in the empire. If the other party dares to touch his nose, she may accidentally kill the noble.

Anyway, even if there is a family with an eighth-level guardian, she can still kill if she wants to, and no one can stop her.

But if she does this, her plan to become the spokesperson of the Resurrection Church in the Protos Empire will almost come to nothing.

She would rather choose the north than the east.

"That's it."

Lan Qi nodded, as he thought.

At present, it seems that with the help of himself as a pioneer, the Overlord Catholic Church can still gain a large number of support from nobles and officials in the south even if it does not have to do anything.

The key is to figure out the specific development of the Nirvana branch in the north and the Mourning branch in the east.

Fortunately for the east side, there are informants from the Batian branch investigating and reporting the situation in real time.

In the north where the news was blocked, even if the Tyrant Priest responsible for intelligence was sent over, the transmission of news was seriously delayed.

So as a Catholic hegemon, Sigrid decided to come over and take a look for herself.

More importantly, if the two of them can cause trouble, they may be able to deal a serious blow to the reputation of the Annihilation branch in the north.

"Speaking of those imperial aristocratic forces in the east, what is their attitude towards war?"

Lan Qi wasn't sure whether what he learned about the situation in the east was true. After all, there were some inside stories that couldn't be obtained just by asking around.

After all, Sigrid chose someone from the south. She should be more aware of the differences between the three parts of the empire.

Lan Qi also heard that some big nobles need to rely on war to stabilize their status. After all, the status of some families is based on force. He also heard that those big nobles wanted to cheat each other and were unable to step down in the end. There were also rumors that Some families have been running the military industry for a long time, just waiting for the war to begin.

"Yes, but once the war breaks out, most of the nobles in the east will completely hold back. For them, their own interests always come first, so essentially they are anti-war factions."

"..."

"I don't want to deal with those big nobles, so I might as well choose the more determined conservatives from the south."

Sigrid obviously looked down on the powerful people in the east, and didn't care about their power and wealth.

But she thought about it again, and looked at Lanqi beside her with more spirit in her eyes,

"Logically speaking, after a while, the nobles in the east may know the name of Rocky McCarthy."

"Why?"

"But many nobles want their children to enroll in the Protoss Royal School of Magic, the best school in the Protoss Empire."

If you heard that Rocky McCarthy was the current principal, you would give him some face.

"I have always been clear about public and private affairs. Don't expect me to use my power to help you do something convenient."

Lanqi reminded.

He didn't want his sacred profession to be abused by Sigrid.

Public is public, private is private.

The Protoss Royal School of Magic is his personal property and should not be used for the official business of the Tyrant Branch.

"Tsk, the favorability has dropped."

Cid smacked his lips.

"Hey, didn't you say that the character of Sid is separate from you? Why did you lower Sid's favorability?"

Lan Qi opened his eyes wide and said in surprise.

"Because Sid is a very willful girl."

"..."

Lan Qi wanted to complain but stopped.

He actually wanted to ask about Ba Jiao's real age, but he was afraid that when he asked this question, Sid would quit the team.
