Chapter 708: Lanqi's Chosen Imperial Man

The autumn afternoon sun and golden leaves flew past the window. The slightly opened car window filled the air in the compartment with a light wood fragrance, like the smell of pine and cypress.

"I believe that the Crean Empire is in the midst of unprecedented changes. Since the National Renaissance became strong, many aspects have undergone earth-shaking changes."

Lan Qi, who looked like an old man, knocked on the table in a serious and deep tone.

"First of all, in the cultural field, the royal family vigorously promoted nationalism and heroism, reawakening the pride of the Creation nation, and writers and thinkers such as Julius Wolfe and Felix Roth received unprecedented esteem. , their ideas have become an important part of the national ideology. At the same time, "degenerate" art schools such as modernism and expressionism have been purged and suppressed, which is actually a bad phenomenon. "

"In terms of social life, St. Baldo Hoffmann-Temple the Great implemented a series of policies aimed at shaping the image of the Creation people. For example, he advocated a strong body and a tall figure, and advocated that women should return to traditional roles and give birth. More children. Some commoners such as the Estes and Roma whose ancestors migrated from many northern kingdoms are increasingly being excluded in the central city-state, which has once again divided the contradiction between the nobles and the common people."

"At present, we are vigorously developing the military industry and improving the employment situation, so that the Creation Empire has strengthened in the southern continent. Although we are in a turbulent era, under the banner of the empire's revival, the internal problems of the Creation nation have gradually spread outward. Spread, it should indeed show a vigorous attitude in the short term, but do you think this is really good..."

The magic rail train is still speeding on the horizon.

Lan Qi, who pretended to be an old publisher, chatted with the young man in the same cubicle about the empire's culture, fashion, the situation in recent years, and trade.

He sat back on the soft chair cushions, sometimes chatting, sometimes looking at the vast mountains outside the window to confirm roughly where they were.

They tower into the clouds and are so majestic that they make you feel insignificant.

This kind of magnificent scenery can always soothe people's hearts and gradually calm down their anxious and restless moods.

At present, it seems that they will reach Brilda, the capital of Creation, in less than an hour.

"That's right, Mr. Lovia, the hidden dangers of the empire actually exist. The disadvantages of this war are just selectively ignored by many people. I think we should not only study in this direction, but also study it seriously. "

Landry, a young man with black hair and blue eyes, agreed.

The two of them chatted all the way.

While chatting, Lan Qi also discovered that although Landry, a talented and talented Imperial man, held an opposition to the war, it was difficult to conceal his far-right thoughts.

He believes that internal troubles should be eliminated through non-war means, vigorously develop the imperial magic engineering, defeat the countries of the Southern Continent Alliance in the trade war, win over and gradually disintegrate the alliance, and let the Creation Empire be the leader, and also That is to restore hegemony through peaceful means.

However, if you think about it carefully, a young teacher who is directly employed by St. Creation's Monastery will not be comparable to ordinary people in terms of skills and knowledge in the professional field. Erudite.

Just when Lan Qi was about to continue talking about the empire's development strategy, a familiar female voice sounded in Lan Qi's heart.

"Lan Qi, don't be too selfless in your acting. I know you are a top-notch chuan, but sometimes you are so pure that people can't tell whether you are a chuan or a real member of the Iron-Blooded Empire."

Talia knew that Ranchi was good at quickly integrating into the environment.

Correspondingly, after he came to the Empire, he really looked too much like an Imperial person.

It was almost as if he had regarded himself as an Imperial person, and even thought from the perspective of an Imperial person.

She had some doubts that this guy was like this in the Protos Empire.

"Don't worry, when the time comes for my glorious return, you will be able to tell my identity at a glance. I am obviously a member of the Kingdom with upright roots."

Lan Qi promised in his heart.

It's just a matter of doing as the Romans do.

"That's good."

Thalia was afraid that she would become a spy if she followed Lanqi in the Creja Empire.

She is now an old Icerite, and her position is quite firm.

In this life, I hope to retire in the Hutton Kingdom.

Just when Lan Qi's thoughts were about to drift away, he clearly felt that the speed of the car was slowing down.

Gradually it stopped.

Lan Qi and the young man looked up at each other in unison, with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

"Will the magic rail train still stop?"

Lan Qi asked in confusion.

This was the first time he encountered this situation.

"It's rare that this happens."

Landry, a young man with black hair and blue eyes, also agreed.

They felt that the passengers in other compartments were also noisy and seemed confused about what was going on.

Just then, there was a buzzing sound and the sound of a microphone being raised.

A magnetic male voice came from the train announcement, attracting their attention.

"Dear passengers, I'm sorry to bother you. We have received news that there are extremely dangerous elements on this train. Our police are currently investigating the suspicious persons. Please stay calm, don't panic, and don't move around at will. We We have requested help from the Brilda City State, and Imperial Army reinforcements are arriving quickly. Thank you for your cooperation."

The voice of the announcement was slightly distorted, but still appeared calm to ensure the safety of passengers.

As soon as the voice fell, the originally quiet train suddenly became agitated.

Not long after, footsteps and whispers could be heard faintly in the corridor. The passengers were obviously panicked by the sudden news.

Talia's voice suddenly rang again in Lanqi's heart.

"Lanqi, why don't you run away? Your identity may have been exposed. It will be very dangerous to go to Brillda."

Talia didn't know what was going on, and she was ready to help Lanqi fight at any time.

The information in the broadcast just now was probably referring to Lanqi, the traitor.

At this distance, it should be possible to escape. At least the God of War would not be so easy to leave the capital Brillda and come to the remote mountains to capture criminals.

"Extremely dangerous elements, that obviously doesn't refer to me. I'm not extreme or dangerous at all."

Lanqi argued with reason and was very confident.

"..."

Talia didn't know how to continue talking to Lanqi.

She felt that Lao Sang would not object to Lanqi's words.

But she actually felt that Ranch's actions along the way were very rigorous, and there was no reason for him to be exposed.

Ranch's superior was only Nigel, and he had not even come into contact with other Person spies since he came to the Empire.

"I will continue to play the role of an Imperial and do what I should do."

Ranch gestured to Talia to rest assured and comfort her.

Before the dust settled, always maintain your identity and acting skills. If it is a psychological warfare, you must gamble to the end and never lose your composure first. This is Ranch's principle.

Once you take the initiative to reveal your flaws, you will be truly exposed.

"I listen to you."

Talia responded.

Ranch's consciousness also returned to reality from his mind.

He saw the black-haired, blue-eyed young man sitting opposite frowning, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Landry subconsciously leaned his hand inside his coat, as if he was ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

"Are there many extreme dangerous elements around the capital Blildah?"

Ranch asked in a low voice.

He felt that the young man opposite him seemed to have a deeper understanding of the internal situation of Brillda, and might even have some clues.

"The war has just been launched not long ago, and the entire empire is indeed at the forefront. The empire is very strict in screening and will never tolerate internal problems."

Landry shook his head and spoke cautiously.

Lanqi nodded in agreement.

The conflict between the nobles and the people in the empire has a long history. Although the two sides maintain a delicate balance on the surface, they have never stopped competing secretly, and even caused a large-scale civil strife many years ago, leaving behind many historical problems.

If the Kreihe Empire goes to war, it is a good opportunity for the internal rebels to take advantage of the fire.

But I didn't expect that their tentacles have already extended to the civilian train.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the compartment.

Orders, warnings, fighting, chaos, and the roar of explosions seemed to be mixed in, getting closer and closer to the fourth carriage.

Then, a shrill scream suddenly broke through the sky, as if someone had suffered inhuman abuse, but it soon disappeared, as if he had died.

Lanqi and the black-haired, blue-eyed young man looked at each other again, each other's eyes were full of shock and uneasiness.

"Mr. Lovia, I need to go out and see the situation. At this juncture, we can't let those internal cancers that want to harm the empire do evil."

The black-haired, blue-eyed young man gritted his teeth and spoke firmly.

It seems that he has long hated these people who provoked civil unrest.

"I'll go out and see the situation. You stay here and don't move. Be careful."

After saying that, he used the magic card to transform into a gun-like staff and rushed out of the box with big strides.

"Be careful, Teacher Landry!"

Lanqi watched him leave the compartment, with a little worry in his heart.

With the sixth-level strength of the black-haired, blue-eyed young teacher, most of the wind and waves should be able to withstand.

If it wasn't a last resort, Lanqi would never take action, because the old man Lovia he was playing was not of high rank and had little combat ability.

As expected.

Not long after the black-haired, blue-eyed young man left, the entire train trembled violently, and the train that had already stopped seemed to have hit something.

At the same time, a deafening explosion rang out, and part of the carriage was instantly engulfed in flames!

The violent vibration almost knocked Lanqi to the ground, his ears were buzzing, and his vision was obscured by the dazzling flames and billowing smoke.

At least a sixth-level fight appeared.

"Meow meow meow! Lanqi, you vehicle killer!"

The cat boss hid in the shadows and trembled.

It had enough!

Riding a boat with Lanqi, encountered a shipwreck.

Riding an airship with Lanqi, encountered a plane crash.

Riding a rail train with Lanqi, still encountered an accident?

Lanqi really has a grudge against vehicles, right!

Wait, it seems that it is there every time there is an accident.

Could it be a vehicle killer as well?

Meow.

Boss Cat fell into thought.

Thick smoke billowed outside compartment 404, pouring into the compartment through the crack of the door.

Lanqi crawled to the door and pulled it open, but was forced to retreat again and again by the heat wave.

Boss Cat used telekinesis magic to quickly open the compartment.

When the smoke cleared a little, he could see the tragic situation inside the compartment.

The corridor, which was once elegant and neat, was now in a mess. The broken furniture was tilted here and there, and there were charred marks and winding cracks everywhere. The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning, which choked him and made him cover his mouth.

Some of the bright ceiling lights had been shattered, while others flickered, and from time to time a few sparks burst out, illuminating the entire carriage flickering, like a ghost. There were several guards lying on the ground in a mess.

Almost all the imperial guards on the train were killed in one blow, and the bright red blood flowed out from their wounds, forming a horrifying pool of blood on the ground.

However.

What surprised Lanqi the most was that next to the pile of corpses, there was a figure in a navy blue coat that Lanqi was particularly familiar with.

His head had been cut off, and more than a dozen translucent magic cards flashing with purple and pink light appeared on his body.

The huge noise of fighting with the enemy just now was obviously transmitted by Landry's spell.

But so soon, he was dead?

How strong is the enemy?

Before Lanqi thought about it, he had already got the answer.

At the other end of the No. 4 carriage, a figure appeared in the smoke.

To be precise, it was a woman standing next to Landry's body.

She was tall and slender, with a black dress that outlined her beautiful curves. Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making the white porcelain mask even more eerie.

The masked woman's eyes were cold and expressionless, and the blade of the short knife in her hand was dripping with dark red blood.

The female killer looked at Lanqi who ran out.

Or rather, it was the compartment No. 404 where he was.

"Boss Cat, use black gas."

Lanqi immediately commanded Boss Cat.

Since he tied the seal of the original stone tablet, the little sun that was originally used to block the view would be forced to bring the obsidian special effect of the God Age Glory because of the seal attribute, so he added some cheap lower-level replacement cards to Boss Cat.

The thick smoke in the entire carriage was suddenly covered by black fog, blocking the view.

If he, Lanqi, had to take action, he couldn't let other passengers in the car see him take action.

The sudden appearance of the female killer on this train, her identity and motives are a mystery.

Lanqi couldn't infer the reason for the time being.

After all, there are inherent conflicts in the Kreihe Empire. Due to the unrest many years ago, some civilians and nobles hated each other, which created some extreme factions.

But now the only thing Lanqi can be sure of is that the so-called dangerous elements should refer to this female killer.

And his disguise is always perfect.

No matter which camp he is in, he can't stand by and watch innocent people die. There are also old people and children on the train, they are unarmed civilians.

The best strategy at present should be to continue to play the role of an imperial, solve this unrest, and then go to the capital Blierda safely.

"Teacher Landry should be a sixth-level magic profession. Although she is more of a research-oriented person, the fact that she was killed so quickly by this female killer shows that she is quite strong and a well-trained veteran."

Talia said in Lanqi's mind.

"Very good, that doesn't make much difference. Theoretically, Landry has a chance to win."

Lanqi has already determined the strategy.

He wants to fake a scene where Landry and the female killer die together - although she successfully killed the young teacher Landry, she also died of exhaustion due to the serious injuries left by Landry.

At that time, Lanqi can hide his merits and fame and continue to sneak into the imperial capital of the Cremon Empire, Brillda.

In his thoughts, seeing that the female killer had raised the dagger in her hand, a fierce killing intent came towards her. She obviously did not intend to let go of the old man of the empire who was in the same compartment with Landry.

No words.

The female killer took the lead in launching an offensive.

The dagger drew a sharp cold light in the air, and it flashed and chopped Lanqi's face in an instant.

Lanqi, who was possessed by Talia, just dodged to the side and perfectly avoided the fatal blow of the female killer.

"Lanqi, be careful."

Talia reminded.

This female assassin is probably close to the seventh level. No wonder Landry was beheaded so quickly.

When she was fighting in the Holy Silver Vine Arena, she had never seen such a strong sixth-level opponent except Yinoan.

Or it can be said that only such a professional assassin would have the courage to commit a crime on the way to Blildar, the capital of Cremon, to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The female assassin seemed quite surprised.

This old man who didn't seem to have the aura of a warrior could actually avoid her attack.

Lanqi didn't have time to sigh, because the female assassin's pursuit was already coming.

Her next knife had already dragged a cold light and came straight to Lanqi's vitals.

Seeing that fighting hard was not a solution, Lanqi jumped back to distance himself, and a small wind vortex formed in front of him. It rushed towards the female assassin with a whistle, stirring up the dust and debris on the ground along the way, and repelled her briefly.

The wind magic of the cat boss was obviously not enough to shake this fierce opponent by two levels.

But this was just to confuse the opponent.

The next second, dozens of spiritual magic powers followed one after another, turning into an airtight net, and caught the female killer.

The female killer seemed to have sensed this wrong magic power and had to face it.

This time she obviously misjudged the strength of this old man.

She began to lose control of her body, as if the nerves of her limbs were locked, and she let out a painful roar, and continued to burst out with strength to struggle.

The entire carriage was shaking violently, as if it would be torn apart by her huge force at any time.

Countless wreckage and debris were flying in the air, but she eventually calmed down, and when the smoke cleared, everything fell into an eerie silence.

The female killer was lying in the ruins.

This is the smallest magic that Thalia can use.

If seven or eight levels of magic were used to fight, let alone whether other passengers could survive, I am afraid it would be completely impossible to explain who did it afterwards.

The female assassin lying on the ground struggled stubbornly for a while, and finally she was convinced that the old man was at least level seven and she was definitely no match for him, so she gave up her struggle.

Lan Qi approached her.

Before the smoke cleared, he still had to investigate the cause and effect from the female killer's side.

Landry can't die so unclearly.

He was very sorry for Landry's death, but he had no choice. When a master like Landry was around, he, Lan Qi, couldn't take the initiative, otherwise he would be seen as a naughty person and his identity would be exposed.

In the end, Landry will become a hero who sacrifices to protect the passengers. This is the only thing Lanqi can do for him.

Lan Qi was also curious about the reason for this turmoil.

But before he could ask any questions, the female killer had already spoken to him.

"Who are you..."

The female killer asked reluctantly.

She couldn't figure out who this old man was.

And why there are seventh-order existences.

"The imperial power is unparalleled and the empire has faith."

Lanci imitated Landry's voice and said coldly,

"Anyone who offends our Creation Empire will be punished no matter how far away they are."

Perhaps there were other passengers in the compartment who were listening with trepidation at the moment.

But he just wanted these passengers to hear it so they could be witnesses.

It turns out to be a fight between Lady Killer and Landry.

"So you are..."

The female killer seems to have understood.

The Magical Agents of the Creation Empire are also the most difficult eagle dogs in the Creation Empire. A man with such ability is probably among the top three in the Magical Agents.

"..."

Thalia couldn't help but admire Lanci's self-cultivation as an actor.

Can you really get the words right?

Sometimes he can really fool himself, and then make everyone confused, and others will never guess that he is actually a member of the Kingdom.

Lan Qi slowly squatted down in front of the female killer and activated the soundproof barrier.

"Ah."

The female killer just smiled and seemed to tell the other person with her eyes that no matter how she was captured and interrogated, she would not reveal a word.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't interrogate you."

Lan Qi said softly like a kindergarten teacher coaxing a child to take a nap.

"?"

The eyes of the female killer were frozen under the white porcelain mask.

"Show me your memory."

Lan Qi said softly, while mentally asking Thalia to use the smallest range of [Overflowing Tenderness].

"no, do not want!!!"

The female killer suddenly seemed to realize something. Her cold eyes that would not waver even in the face of torture were shaken, as if she had encountered something she was truly afraid of.

The other party is a master of spiritual magic, and he can capture her like this. And the other party may also have a deeper spiritual exploration magic. If it falls into his hands, she can't even commit suicide!

"I'm going to kill you, kill you!!!"

she shouted angrily.

The eyes under the white porcelain seemed to want to eat Lan Qi alive.

However, she couldn't resist the sleepiness that made her mind go blank. Tears gradually overflowed from the corners of her eyes and she fell asleep.

"Lan Qi, I always felt that you really looked like a senior officer of the empire just now, and the most dangerous kind."

Thalia couldn't help but said in Lan Qi's heart.

"How is it possible? I have only been in the empire for a few days, and I just happened to maintain public order due to the situation. I did not intend to help the empire."

Lanci declared.

He closed his eyes and gradually immersed himself in a brand new world. The space around him seemed to be rippled by unstable ripples.

Like [Falling Gentle Land], [Overflowing Gentle Land] can also interfere with other people's dreams.

At this moment, Lan Qi felt as if he was freed from the shackles of the physical body and directly communicating with the spiritual space.

When he opened his eyes again, it was a completely different scene from the dilapidated train carriage.

Under the clear sky, you can see a blue and bright color when you look up.

The spring sunshine makes people's skin feel warm, and the sound of water by the river is clear and melodious.

This is a beautiful town.

In this season, wearing casual clothes will make you feel the temperature is moderate and everything is just right.

Lanqi and Talia shared their minds and descended into the dreamland of the female killer together. Their bodies were translucent like spirits, watching from a distance.

The female killer in the dream was standing in a trance on the busy street of a small town. The only sounds that echoed in her ears were the laughter of children chasing each other in the empty square and the clanging of hand bells.

She had an attractive appearance, and she subconsciously caressed her face and arms in front of the reflection on the glass of the shop on the street, but she didn't even have any scars on her body.

A girl, whose appearance and hair color are somewhat similar to the female killer, seems to be her younger sister, who is healthy and walking with her on the street.

"Sister Unity..."

The girl held the corner of her clothes, as if she didn't understand why she stopped, and she seemed lost.

"..."

Unity gradually came back to her senses and stared at the healthy girl.

She immediately cried and hugged the girl.

She kept mumbling vague words like "You must be safe" and "Sister will never leave you again".

Then, she was led by her sister to play in this town with a sense of relief.

There was no cruel battlefield, and her dead comrades would also meet her on the street and greet her.

And this landmark...

It can be vaguely identified by the text as the Kingdom of Canberra in the western hub area.

Lanqi and Talia looked at each other in her dream.

"Why did she dream of the Kingdom of Canberra?"

Talia asked with a translucent figure.

"It obviously means that she is from the kingdom."

Lanqi answered as a matter of course.

The two understood it instantly.

This female killer is one of us!

It turns out that the dangerous elements mentioned in the broadcast are indeed Allied spies.

Lanqi was still wondering how he could be exposed.

There are other people from the kingdom on this train besides him!

The empire wanted to catch this allied assassin named Unity.

Lanqi and Talia hurriedly ran out of Unity's dream like two children who felt they were in trouble, returned their consciousness to reality, and began to wake her up with the spiritual magic of enhancement.

Without the interference of the caster, Unity woke up quickly.

She looked at the old man who did not hurt her in front of her with a confused look in her hazy eyes.

However, she was still pinned to the ground by mental control.

"You damned empire hawk dog!!"

Unity recalled the dream just now and instantly realized the other party's mental interference ability.

Using this kind of dream to spy on her brain has undoubtedly violated her bottom line as a kingdom warrior!

There is such a master hiding on the train, which is considered her failure.

She didn't understand why she fell into the trap and who betrayed her.

But the mysterious man in front of her was definitely the culprit who set the trap to hunt her!

She couldn't imagine how much information this man would steal from her if he continued to dig into her consciousness!

The more she thought about it, the more humiliated and desperate she felt, but in the end, it all turned into resentment towards the Imperial officer in front of her.

"..."

Lanqi looked confused and innocent, pointing at herself, speechless and choking.

There was nothing wrong with his thinking, he didn't mean to help the Empire.

"She didn't lie, she really thought you were an Imperial."

Talia used her talent for detecting lies to add a sentence to remind Lanqi.

Maybe she did misunderstand Lanqi at the beginning.

Other spies need great awareness to work hard and perfectly disguise themselves as Imperials, but you, my friend, you are the chosen Imperial.
