Chapter 361 Lanqi Wonders Why There Is a Lady Who Needs Help Here
The entrance to the Rock Junction Station should have been in good order, but now it has fallen into a slight chaos for unknown reasons.
The Silent Priest's combat readiness was decisive and swift, and the alertness in his eyes revealed the importance of the task at hand. Under the light, the cast iron and glass structure looked particularly cold and hard in this sudden situation, reflecting the nervous faces of the passengers.
And all eyes were focused on the two noble girls surrounded in front of the entrance.
"If you are not suspected, Miss Miriam Milford, we promise not to hurt you in the slightest, and we will release you as soon as you prove your innocence."
The high priest who ordered them to stop them looked polite, bowed and said.
"..."
The queue of passengers behind them stretched out in the corridor, and everyone was waiting, as if some kind of event was about to break out suddenly. The mood of ordinary imperial passengers was like the temperature in the station hall, gradually decreasing and heading towards the freezing point.
Not only Hyperion and Michelle, but everyone in the distance knew that the promises of the priests of the Branch of Destruction were not credible at all.
In this silence, the air was suddenly broken by the sound of fine wind, which was extremely clear.
The high priest did not raise his head, waiting for the two noble ladies in front of him to express their opinions.
"I will miss the opening hours of the Royal School of Magic of Protoss, and you cannot arrest imperial nobles at will without evidence and arrest warrants."
Even though Hyperion seemed to have no temper before, her eyes tightened slightly at this moment, with a little resentment, and she could not accept the arrogance and unreasonableness of the Branch of Destruction.
"If we really have a problem, you can bring the legal documents of the Metropolitan Police Department to the school in Helrom to arrest us. At that time, regardless of whether we agree or not, the school will cooperate with you to carry out your work as soon as possible."
Michelle also stepped forward half a step, and her voice became more powerful.
The two of them were scheduled to depart for the imperial capital Helrom at 11 noon. There was a gap of more than three hours between the two trains from Milford to Box Mountain Province and from Box Mountain to the imperial capital Helrom. Earl Milford took into account the time it might take to transfer and gave them enough time to rest and prepare.
But being intercepted to go to the Knights of Annihilation, no matter what the investigation results were, they would definitely miss the originally scheduled train. If they were detained for another day or two, and bought a ticket when they were released, they would most likely not be able to enter the Protoss Royal School of Magic for a week.
That strict and semi-closed school prohibited students from going out on weekdays. As a punishment and to maintain the extreme of the credit assessment rules, students who did not return on time were not allowed to enter halfway.
"Sorry, we have priority in executing confidential matters related to the Northern War. If you need to sue us, please contact Earl Milford."
The high priest stared at Michela, his words still sounded polite, but his eyes had begun to suppress the coldness.
It was like telling her that if she made trouble again, she would be taught a lesson that she would never forget, regardless of whether she was the earl's daughter or not.
Hupriyan immediately held Michela's hand and tightened it, pulling her behind him.
"Our Milford family has never offended your branch of annihilation. Earl Milford will go to the imperial capital to participate in the election next week. Are you trying to drag the Bishop of annihilation into the water by doing this?"
She no longer let Michela fight back against the high priest and asked in person.
"..."
The high priest's eyes flashed with a little hesitation, but soon stabilized and became resolute again.
"Even if Lord Milford will be disappointed with our branch of annihilation because of this, I must keep her. It is my duty, please forgive me."
He did not give in at all.
If he had originally planned to take into account the power of the Earl Milford family, he would be ready to tear his face off now.
"..."
Seeing the attitude of the high priest of the branch of annihilation, Hyperion's nerves were tense and he grabbed Michela's hand.
If she wanted to run away now, it would probably be no problem to forcefully escape from Box Mountain Province, but this would definitely harm the Milford family who helped her forge her identity.
But if she followed the other party's wishes and followed them into the temple of the Knights of Annihilation, she might not be able to run away if anything happened. The more she was investigated, the more likely she would make mistakes.
It was a dead end anyway.
"I'll go with you."
Hyperion sighed helplessly in her extremely complicated mood.
No matter what, even if she had an important mission, she would never abandon the Milford family for her own safety.
"I want to be with my sister."
Michelle pursed her lips tightly, expressionless, and held Hyperion's arm, meaning that she would never let go.
The high priest sneered. These two arrogant noble ladies had wasted so much of his words. Now even if Michelle wanted to leave, he would not let her go.
If these two people always have this attitude, then they must be properly tamed in the temple of the Knights of Annihilation. Even as hostages, Earl Milford can vote for Bishop Annihilation without any mistakes.
When Bishop Annihilation is elected, the cooperation between the Protos Empire and the Church of Resurrection will be a foregone conclusion. Even if Earl Milford sees his two daughters being abused or killed, he can only swallow his anger.
"Well, you two can go together."
The high priest motioned to the heavily armored knight behind him to take the two of them away, while many passengers in the queue behind them consciously chose to retreat temporarily.
Passengers whose train was to depart a few hours later had already exited the waiting queue and gone elsewhere. Only those passengers whose train was to depart soon were left struggling to wait.
I should have been anxious when I encountered a traffic jam ahead, but no one dared to say anything at this time.
When the dust settled in silence, what made Hyperion feel bitter was that she knew very well that she had not made any mistakes. It was not as if these priests of Annihilation had noticed any omissions, but had caught her by mistake.
Hyperion is too familiar with this kind of pure luck problem. No matter how hard she struggles, she can't get rid of the bad luck, and it will also affect the people who help her. In the end, even the powerful father who has been protecting her seems to be affected by her. This misfortune has spread, and his whereabouts are unknown.
She always felt that she was a person condemned by God, and her luck would always go to the worse side in any matter.
Until she met Lan Qi, whose fate was a little too tough, her bad luck seemed to have all turned into good luck. This man seemed to bring all her luck.
Now that Lan Qi was gone, that feeling of powerlessness came to my mind again.
But she can no longer call Lan Qi's name with all her strength like she did at Purgatory Corridor Academy, and he will suddenly appear and rush to save her.
Goddess, what should I do now?
At this moment, the huddled crowd dispersed again, as if a road had been evacuated by military guards.
Hyperion's dimmed expression was once again attracted by the movement, and she slightly raised her eyes.
"What are you doing?"
A leisurely voice sounded with confusion and impatience.
It seemed that the pass had been blocked for a long time, which made him feel that this was very unethical.
