Chapter 534 Lanqi Is Obviously an Amateur

The night fell and the capital of Polant, Helsharem, was illuminated by the faint anti-aircraft lights. The shadows of people on the street were full of the urgent atmosphere of wartime.

The outline of the Parliament Building stood out more in the night sky, like a lighthouse that was about to go out.

Behind a bright window that always emitted a dim light between the high-rise buildings was Lanqi's solemn face in a diligent working state. He was negotiating with his secretary.

The secretary, who was originally full of awe and a little restrained, gradually began to relax his tense posture because of his words, and the distance between him and him began to close.

Outside the shadow world.

At Ikrit Academy, the clock just passed eight o'clock in the morning.

On the Jera Memorial Square, the open-air giant screen and the surrounding steps were bathed in bright light.

However, unlike usual, there were obviously many more students watching the screen on the open-air giant screen at this moment, and the noise and discussion were endless.

"Seventh-level shadow world?"

The picture just flashed by, and it was undoubtedly a map open-type shadow world with a level of seven.

They rarely see this level of shadow world.

Even fourth-year students may not be able to break through to the seventh level and encounter the seventh-level shadow world.

"How did Lanqi enter the seventh-level shadow world? Did he find a seventh-level team?"

After not seeing Lanqi for a semester, the students of the Sage Academy missed the joy he brought to everyone. They didn't expect that he would make a big fuss as soon as he came back.

"Oh my God, does Dean Loren know that he went to the seventh-level shadow world?"

What they are most worried about now is Dean Loren's condition.

If it were normal, the Sage Academy would have already started a meeting.

But Loren is out of town now, so I'm afraid he will know the news later.

I don't know who Loren is receiving now, but if Loren knows that Lanqi took Hyperion into the seventh-level shadow world, he must rush back to Ikerite as soon as possible.

As we all know, once the seventh-level shadow world fails, it will cause unimaginable natural disasters.

The shadow world is like a double-edged sword. It will gradually open up at regular intervals. The number is endless. The timeline and world view may also be different. Some are easy and simple, while others are extremely dangerous. They will appear at fixed or random entrances in this world without any signs. They are fragments of world history or projections of the history of another world. If the shadow world is left alone, it will automatically close after a certain time limit, which will also cause natural disasters to erode the present world.

Clearing the shadow world will get a lot of rewards, and failure to conquer it will cause natural disasters somewhere in the world.

The higher the rank of the shadow world, the more rewards or natural disasters it will cause.

Therefore, all countries are doing their best to cultivate talents who are good at conquering the shadow world, which is also the responsibility of Ikrit Academy.

If an accident occurs due to excessive mistakes of students, causing large-scale natural disasters in the present world, Ikrit Academy will also bear the primary responsibility!

Since the participants are Ranch and Hyperion, Loren is undoubtedly the first person responsible.

"Originally, regarding the incident involving Senior Sister Asna, I heard that many high-ranking officials in the kingdom, led by Duke Akares, were using this as an excuse to impeach Dean Loren. There have also been voices outside the Kingdom of Hutton fanning the flames. They don't want Loren to be too popular, nor do they want Ikrit College to continue to occupy too many resources and association support."

Many students from Ikrit College were analyzing this.

From this point of view, at this juncture, if Dean Loren is not self-destructing, then he is playing a big game by letting Ranch make such a fatal move to enter the seventh-level shadow world.

"On the bright side, the seventh-level shadow world has a much larger operating space, the duration and map are all free, and there are countless ancient figures that can be contacted. Ranch is Dean Loren's secret weapon, and perhaps everything is in Dean Loren's plan."

Although most people inside and outside the school expressed concerns in front of the giant screen, there were still students who had witnessed Ranch's first two shadow worlds and chose to believe first and then question.

"But... the theme of this time..."

Such a voice made many eyes look at the curtain again, and the voice became hesitant.

After not seeing Lanqi for half a year, he seemed to be a little bit more awkward in the challenge of the shadow world. In such a pressing situation, he chatted aimlessly with his secretary about many topics unrelated to the war. Only the secretary's eyes could be seen gradually changing. It was unknown what Lanqi was doing and what new skills this was.

After entering the shadow world, people will get an unexpected new identity to interpret historical fragments.

Sometimes it may be an identity that is very consistent with their own functions, and sometimes it may be a very bad identity position that requires special experience to master.

The higher the position, the higher the requirements for ability and the more difficult the task.

This is the first time they have seen someone so unlucky. The opening of the shadow world is a prime minister who is at the end of his rope!

Generally speaking, whoever gets this identity, the basic game is over.

...

Ikerite, the capital of Hutton.

Not far from the city hall, the Duke of Akares's mansion, which is in line with the family power.

The air is filled with a faint fragrance, which is the fragrance of flowers from a row of potted plants near the window of the reception room.

Dark blue tapestries hung on the walls, and the family crest of the Acares family depicted the integration of power, commerce, and humanity.

Two middle-aged men in luxurious clothes sat calmly on the sofa, discussing recent important matters of the kingdom across a low coffee table inlaid with rubies.

Suddenly, the visitor, Marquis Gasigus, seemed to have thought of something.

"Duke Acares, leave Loren to me. Although he was popular a few days ago, this cannot cover up his decline in education."

Marquis Gasigus moved closer, as if he was leading by example, and promised Duke Acares.

Giving up Asna was an absurd act that even His Majesty the King lamented. Loren obviously fell into the handle this time.

"..."

Duke Acares looked at Marquis Gasigus and nodded slightly.

He looked out the window, and his thoughts seemed to drift away, making it difficult for Gasigus to guess the joy and anger of Duke Acares.

Not long after.

In the Duke's mansion, accompanied by footsteps, a secretary-like servant walked into the reception room with a rigorous and elegant pace.

The servant walked to the side of Duke Acares, bent slightly, and spoke in a volume that only the three of them could hear.

The Duke listened to his words, and his expression, which had never been moved, began to show a little surprise.

Until the servant left.

Duke Acares silently recited Loren's name and clenched his fists.

"Loren... You indulged your students too much. Is it time for you to taste the bad consequences now?"

He said to himself, as if the new and old grudges finally found an opportunity to settle.

"Hahaha."

On the other side, Marquis Gasigus finally couldn't help but sneer when he saw Duke Acares' words.

Loren is so humorous.

Originally, he was worried that Asna alone would not be enough to impeach Loren. Now, even if the opposition does not add insult to injury, the Kingdom of Hutton will not be able to withstand the pressure from the United Parliament of the Kingdom of the Southern Continent and the Shadow World Management Association.

If the failure of the seventh-level shadow world triggers a natural disaster, it will have an extremely bad impact on the international reputation of the Kingdom of Hutton and Ikrit Academy!

"Lanqi, is it the student who always hangs out with Migaiya's daughter?"

Duke Acares asked.

He didn't know much about the new students in Ikrit Academy. He only heard that a new student in the Sage Academy named Lanqi defeated the Saint of Destruction, allowing Loren to pick up another young genius after Asna.

The impression of this young man named Lanqi was that he was very good at flattering the daughter of Duke Migaia's family. It seemed that he wanted to retire at the age of 20 and live off his wife.

"That's the guy."

Marquis Gasigus patted the armrest of the sofa and smiled gloatingly.

"It's easy now. No matter how the Kingdom United Parliament and the international community put pressure on us in the coming days, we will push Loren up and support him with all our strength. Anyway, he will not evade responsibility."

When the general trend is not in Loren's favor, there is no need to offend Loren openly. They can just act as a scapegoat and pretend to be Loren's supporters at this time to bring him bad luck.

For a period of time in the future, Loren may not be able to tell which people really want to help him or drag him down.

As the saying goes, "A righteous man has many supporters, while an unrighteous man has few." Without their intervention, various forces will naturally suppress Loren, and the public opinion will turn Loren into an extremely reckless and failed dean!

The seventh-level shadow world is still a hellish start. Even if Loren's students are more rebellious, they can't help their teacher reverse his reputation this time.

Even Loren doesn't understand politics, so what kind of prime minister can that kid named Ranch be?
