Chapter 712: Lanqi's Resurrection

After Nicholas' brief and powerful questioning, the chief of the Imperial Secret Service Section 1 seemed to temporarily put aside his suspicion of Lanqi.

He signaled to Lieutenant Colonel Burke to let the blue-eyed, black-haired noble young man leave the train compartment.

"Mr. Landry, thank you for your cooperation."

Red Falcon Nicholas nodded to Lanqi,

"As an important eyewitness and witness to this incident, our Imperial Special Operations Department may need to learn more from you in the future. However, time is tight and the task of hunting down Allied spies is more important, so I won't waste your time."

After all, he is an Imperial noble, and it is not good to continue to detain him.

"It is my duty to provide some clues for the investigation. If you have any other needs, I will do my best to help."

Lanqi humbly replied.

"Then please leave your information and contact information, Mr. Landry."

Red Falcon Nicholas said crisply, this is necessary content at the end of the investigation.

"I just arrived in Brillda. My place of residence in the capital should be arranged by my work unit. If you need to find me, you should be able to find me through public-to-public means at St. Clement's Abbey."

Lanqi replied.

"..."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke looked at Lanqi suspiciously.

"St. Clement's Abbey? Mr. Landry, where do you work?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke, who had not spoken, could not help asking.

"Yes, we arrived at the station just when we were about to talk about work on the train, and then Mr. Nicholas came."

Lanqi explained in one step, and at the same time took out the official letter from his suitcase and handed it to the two officers.

In order to prevent Red Falcon Nicholas from asking again.

Lieutenant Colonel Burke only took a quick look at the document with the official seal of St. Clement's Abbey, and gave it to Red Falcon Nicholas for detailed reading.

"Landry Wasington, the newly appointed professor of St. Clement's Abbey, is about to report for his appointment. His scheduled arrival date is September 30..."

Red Falcon Nicholas looked down at the official letter and said softly.

When St. Clement's Abbey was mentioned, the surrounding gendarmes immediately showed respect for Lanqi.

Red Falcon Nicholas pondered secretly, his face still calm.

"So that's how it is..."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke seemed to have a good impression of Lanqi, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful. He observed Lanqi again in surprise,

"No wonder you have the ability to easily solve the train accident. Fortunately, you have such an outstanding talent of the Empire on the train, so the criminals can't run rampant."

He smiled with surprise and admiration.

Originally, Burke was still wondering why such a strong man from the border came to the capital. Now that he is sure that he is the newly appointed professor of St. Clement's Abbey, everything makes sense.

"It's not a big deal. Everything is my responsibility and obligation."

Lanqi spoke every word with a loud voice.

"Sorry, Professor Landry, I was so negligent just now."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke said.

"It's okay."

Lanqi chatted casually with Lieutenant Colonel Burke, waiting for the moment when Red Falcon Nicola verified the information.

The capital garrison standing by could not hide their curiosity and admiration. They seemed to want to ask the professor something, but it was obviously inappropriate to interrupt the chat of the superior.

At this moment, this young man with black hair and blue eyes has become a mysterious hero with hidden merits and fame in their eyes.

"..."

Talia watched Lanqi and the commander of the military police brigade chatting and laughing, and felt that Lanqi had completely transformed into Landry Wasington.

Maybe even more like the real Landry than Landry.

The name of Saint Cremorne Monastery is indeed extraordinary. Even the imperial military and police look up to it.

Of course, this is reasonable.

After all, in Talia's understanding, Saint Clement Monastery is the most secretive supreme institution of learning in the southern continent. Even in the United Parliament Alliance of the Kingdom, there is no one who can surpass it, and there is very little relevant information.

Being hired as a professor by this school at such a young age is naturally highly respected.

In this brief moment, Nicholas has handed the official letter back to Lanqi.

"I almost offended you before, it's my fault, Professor Landry."

Nicholas the Red Falcon said,

"I did hear that Saint Clement Monastery has a new recruitment plan recently, but I didn't expect the inauguration to be right in front of me."

He looked at Lanqi.

Under normal circumstances, if there is no shortage of manpower, the school will give certain protection to such precious talents specially hired by Saint Clement Monastery, but the current situation is that there is really no way to go to the far northwest border to pick up this professor.

In other words, this professor himself has such strength, and there is no need to send someone to protect him.

The safest way is to keep his information confidential and let him come to the capital in a low-key manner. On the contrary, sending someone to escort him is more likely to bring him danger.

"I understand. As long as it is beneficial to the work of the empire, I can't have any complaints."

Lanqi knew that Nicholas was referring to the incident when he almost put his hand on his forehead.

Nicholas nodded with a smile, and suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, since we are all going to the station hall, why don't we go together and talk while walking? Maybe I can hear more of your insights on this incident."

He said.

"Of course, that's great."

Lanqi sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm and he readily agreed.

Just like trust does not require a reason, for the Imperial Secret Service Chief, suspicion also does not require a reason.

This falcon-like man never misses an opportunity to talk to important people.

"Lieutenant Colonel Burke, it seems that we have said goodbye. Although we have not known each other for a short time, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Before taking his leave, Ranch turned to greet Lieutenant Colonel Burke von Arnold.

"Goodbye, Mr. Landry, I hope we try not to meet again."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke also responded with imperial courtesy and said.

After all, it was not a good thing to see him, the gendarmerie brigade commander responsible for the outskirts of the capital.

He usually rushes to the scene only when an accident occurs.

And the one who often appears at crime scenes is a troublemaker.

After saying that, Lan Qi followed Nicholas the Kestrel and left the No. 4 carriage.

"He really didn't intend to let you go just like that."

Thalia was also chatting with Lan Qi in her mind.

"Just think of it as a free ride."

Lan Qi communicated with her.

Originally, the time might not be so tight. After all, compared to Magic Navigation, Magic Rail trains are rarely delayed.

However, due to the train accident, it was stalled for a long time in the Langar Mountains outside the capital, and the subsequent investigation by the Imperial Special Operations Division was unable to get off the train. Now if I look carefully, it is already past three in the afternoon.

He needs to report to school today, which means he needs to arrive at school before five o'clock.

Taking Nikola's car there, even though we still had to chat with him all the way, it was an added convenience.

However, Thalia no longer had the previous nervousness, and now her tone of mind was much more relaxed, as if she was lying on her side on the sofa watching a play.

While talking, the two of them had already passed through the door of the magic rail train and the bustling crowd, stepped onto the platform, and walked towards the station hall.

This first station in Brilda is one of the busiest hubs in the empire. It has a towering dome, continuous arches, and the marble floor reflects the hurried coming and going of passengers. In the windows on both sides, there are dazzling products and colorful billboards. The slogans are all enthusiastic to attract customers.

"Is this your first time at Brilliant, Professor Landry?"

Nicholas the Kestrel asked casually while walking leisurely.

"Of course, how did Mr. Nicholas see it?"

Lan Qi looked away from the top of the station and looked at the young special agent officer beside him and asked.

"Because you are very interested in this building. It seems to me that you have never been here before."

Nicholas replied,

"I saw that Professor Landry's employment letter stated that you are an expert in magical engineering. I didn't expect that you have attainments and understanding in architecture."

The station is located in the Duke of Osseta Square in the city of Brilda. It was built in 1664 of the solar calendar and was designed by the half-demon imperial craftsman Ulti Stezzini. Due to reconstruction and municipal planning issues at the time, it was fully used. It took more than ten years to complete and put into use.

Today there are 26 platforms, with about 300,000 passengers and 500 trains arriving and departing every day, and about 110 million passengers use it every year. Its huge steel structure vault is the largest steel structure vault in the southern continent, all in the continent. It is the only train station to be referred to as First Station, which shows that all train stations in the southern continent recognize the leadership and architectural influence of Brilda First Station.

Nicholas could probably understand that the young man with black hair and blue eyes had just looked at the engineer who had seen something of interest.

Of course, there is another kind of person who would also look at the central building of the empire like this, but not as straightforwardly and unabashedly as this young man with black hair and blue eyes.

"Indeed, I know a little bit about architectural design."

Lan Qi said with a smile.

Just like this, you and I were chatting back and forth, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them had passed through the wide central hall of the station and walked straight towards the exit.

The moment they stepped out of the station, the bright sunshine instantly shone on the two of them, like a long-lost warmth.

The footsteps of the crowd became melodious and brisk.

Lanci took a deep breath of the slightly dry and refreshing autumn air in the capital Brilda.

Finally arrived at the hinterland of the empire.

The first step of his work was successfully completed.

The tall buildings all around are looming in the hazy halo, and the towering ancient clock tower stands proudly in the distance, and the bells ringing the hour on the hour are melodious and long.

"Phew, I can finally breathe some fresh air. There are so many pests in the empire that I feel like everything under the building is dirty."

Nicholas raised his hand and gently pressed the brim of his hat, speaking in a relaxed tone.

"Chief Nikolay is humble. With a capable minister like you, the empire will one day sweep away all the dark corners."

Lan Qi praised from the side.

"I hope so."

Nicholas snorted meaningfully,

"I believe that with Mr. Landry's ability and awareness, we will have many opportunities to work together in the future. Well, please come with me."

He motioned for Ranch to follow him to their unit's vehicle bay.

Lan Qi didn't answer any more, but briefly looked at the ancient and prosperous capital of Brilda, with a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes, and followed him.

The bell tower behind seems to have become yesterday. With the low and long ringing of the bell, a new day begins.

Just as they had taken a few steps, a clear female voice suddenly sounded not far away.

"Is this Professor Landry Wassington?"

This sound attracted the attention of Lan Qi and Nicholas.

The two looked around and saw a girl in dark blue formal dress bowing to salute Lan Qi.

Her long black hair was pulled into a neat bun on the side of her head, and the corners of her mouth were curved in the right gentle way.

"That's right..."

Lan Qi replied slightly puzzled.

What surprised Lan Qi was that the woman's left leg and right arm were both mechanical prostheses made of metal, glowing cold silver in the sun, and her left eye was also covered with a delicate half-eye patch. Covered, the straps extend all the way to the back of the head, blending into the hair.

"I am Naila, Principal Violet's secretary. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The woman in formal attire introduced herself.

"The school actually asked you to pick me up. I'm really flattered."

Lan Qi pretended to be surprised.

"No, this is the etiquette that St. Creation's Monastery should do. Moreover, after hearing about the train accident, the college is worried about whether the information has been leaked. Seeing that you are safe and sound, the principal can rest assured for the time being."

Secretary Naira said with conviction.

"Of course you can rest assured."

Lan Qi said helplessly.

Although he said this, he already knew it in his heart.

——The news may have really leaked within the academy.

Otherwise, Allied spy Unity would not have received the order to assassinate and seize Landry's information.

But even if he knew, he could only pretend not to know, because according to his explanation to the military, he, Landry, and the Allied female killer were absolute enemies, and it was impossible to have any conversation.

"That is to say, in the academy, I don't know for what purpose, but maybe someone wants Landry to die?"

Talia listened to Lan Qi's heart and said to Lan Qi.

But how was the Allied spy Unity on the train exposed?

Is there anyone in the co-authored Allied Forces who wants to harm Unity?

She felt confused.

Now it seems that the "original Landry" young man does seem to be a bit unusual.

It turned out that not only the Allies, but also people within the empire wanted him dead.

Now for those people, the good news is that the real Landry is dead, the bad news is that there is a fake Landry.

"I can't deduce the cause and effect. I can only say that under the surface of the accident, there was a melee between multiple parties with different agendas."

Lan Qi couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he could only take one step at a time.

Fortunately, his goal is relatively pure.

Next, as long as you keep your integrity and be a good teacher, you can successfully carry out espionage work.

Although it deviates from the initial expectations, St. Creation's Monastery, as a very important institution of the empire, is also a good internal entry point.

If his journey to the empire is the last chapter of his journey of struggle, then it is naturally best to start with the academy and end with the academy, just like the beginning.
