Chapter 728 Lanqi's Promotion

The time of a class passed in a flash.

Outside the classroom, on the shiny black and white checkered marble corridor, golden particles floated in the air.

As a deep bell rang over the central building complex of St. Clement's Monastery, it marked the end of Lanqi's class today.

Even so, no students left the classroom, and some students who were eager to learn gathered at the desk and asked him questions.

It was not until a long time later that the students with questions initially understood the problem and stopped surrounding him. He quietly closed the handouts, carefully placed the heavy ancient books on the sandalwood podium, gave a friendly and sincere smile to the students below, and strode out of the classroom after saying goodbye.

It was almost noon, and the Eliot Building was already bustling with people.

Groups of students holding heavy book-shaped magic devices walked through the corridors in a lively manner. Laughter echoed in the empty corridors, and there was a faint aroma from the restaurant on the lower floor of the Elliot Building.

Lanqi walked alone in the corridor next to classroom 4-43, and the echo of his footsteps was swallowed up by the stone walls.

"The students of St. Clement's Monastery really have some unique ideas. Some of them really stumped me."

The sharp questions raised by the students in the class just now still lingered in his mind, and those opinions were worth his careful consideration. Sometimes Lanqi had to discuss with Talia in his heart before answering.

Fortunately, Talia's 800-year knowledge base is not covered, it's really...

Too beautiful and powerful.

Lanqi's thoughts were just halfway through when he felt his heart being grabbed by an invisible hand, so he sighed.

"Professor Landry! Please wait a moment!"

A burst of hurried footsteps and a young man's clear shout suddenly came from behind, interrupting Lanqi's thoughts in the corridor.

Lanqi suddenly stopped and looked back, pausing the confrontation with the spirit behind him, and returned his attention to the students of St. Clement's Monastery.

I saw several anxious students chasing after him without caring about their image, their eyes flashing with the desire for knowledge and admiration for him.

The leading student spoke breathlessly, and his voice could not hide his excitement.

"Professor, the new energy theory you expounded in class today is really amazing, especially your idea of ​​using the principle of living magic oscillation and resonance to improve the efficiency of energy conversion, which is simply a genius inspiration! But I still have some doubts about this. I wonder if you can see if our idea is feasible."

As he spoke, he took out a page full of notes and his own deduced formulas.

"That's right, Professor Landry."

Another blond and blue-eyed young man followed up,

"I think it can not only develop in the direction of new energy, but also consider the direction of humanitarian torture. In the future, the labor reform of criminals can be directly changed to a one-click sweep, and there is no need to worry about their laziness. It is compulsory, efficient, and pure, and it can also reduce the workload and supervision difficulty of prison guards."

The students were excited and talked to each other, scrambling to draw inferences from Ranch, their eyes full of desire and enthusiasm for knowledge.

"Why are they like this?"

Talia asked Ranch in confusion.

She suddenly recalled that Ranch only spent half of the class on magic engineering, and the remaining half was spent on ethics, religion, and philosophy.

The more some students in the classroom listened, the more they felt wrong.

Only a small number of students with high resistance were still unmoved.

The students chasing out in front of them were obviously the ones with the biggest changes.

"Very good idea, let me see."

Lanqi smiled kindly when he saw this, and did not answer Talia first, just about to answer the students one by one.

He suddenly looked up and saw a familiar figure standing at the corner of the corridor-

It was Nicholas, known as the "Red Falcon", the head of the domestic countermeasures section of the Imperial Special Operations Department.

He was still in a neat black military uniform.

The military honors on his chest shone in the sunlight, his hands were behind his back, and his posture was as straight as a pine tree.

Seeing Lanqi appear, Nicholas, the Red Falcon, nodded slightly.

It seemed that he had been waiting for Professor Landry for a long time.

The students followed Lanqi's line of sight and saw Nicholas's cold face and the military uniform of the Imperial Special Operations Department. They were immediately silent and said no more.

Lanqi also greeted the officer and looked at the students beside him apologetically.

"I'm very sorry, Alexander, Benjamin, Christopher, Gregory... I suddenly have something urgent to deal with as soon as possible. The questions you raised are indeed insightful. I will stay in the office tomorrow afternoon to answer questions. I will be in Office 812 on the 8th floor of the Spert Building in the Abbey from 2 to 5 pm every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Let's discuss it in detail then, okay?"

His tone was sincere and polite, and he called out each student's name accurately.

"You go ahead and see you tomorrow."

The students nodded immediately, feeling as if their hearts were filled with something. They thought that Professor Landry, who had just met them for two days, would not have any impression of them, but they did not expect that he was so familiar with them and paid attention to them. They could even feel the unique sincerity and attention from his eyes.

"See you tomorrow."

Lan Qi turned around while speaking, took a big step, and walked straight towards the red falcon Nicholas.

"Professor Landry, I'm sorry to bother you. I wonder if it's convenient for you to go with me to the headquarters of the Imperial Special Operations Department? I need to confirm with you about what we talked about before."

Nicholas saw the professor approaching, his tone was as low as always, and no emotion could be heard.

"Okay, I have finished all my classes today, and we can go together now."

Lan Qi looked calm, with a smile on his lips, and nodded readily in agreement.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Chief Nicholas."

He thanked Nicholas.

"My original job today was to investigate and record the 4-21 classroom, so it just happened."

Red Falcon Nicholas was a little surprised to see that Professor Landry did not refuse the invitation, but he did not show it.

He made a "please" gesture.

"The Special Operations Department's car is parked not far from the Elliot Building."

Nicholas walked briskly, and Lanqi walked side by side with him through the magnificent and deep corridor of the Elliot Building.

The students watched the two people's backs go away, whispering constantly, and the doubts in their hearts were gradually replaced by curiosity.

What is the connection between the mysterious Professor Landry and the Empire Special Operations Department?

Countless conjectures swirled in the students' minds, and they even couldn't help asking Landry's sister Elsa, but she just clenched her sleeves in front of her chest and shook her head.

On the other side.

"It seems that you are very popular with students."

Red Falcon Nicholas seemed to be more familiar with the environment of the Elliot Building than Teacher Landry, and was slightly half a step ahead of the professor, as if he was leading the professor.

He just noticed the students chasing out of classroom 4-43, but when those students saw him, the officer, Nikolai the Falcon, they all chose to retreat.

"After all, I like dealing with students very much."

Lan Qi lowered his eyes and smiled.

"Do you have a special talent for emotional communication? Can you quickly get along well with the people around you?"

Nikolai the Falcon looked at the man again and asked him.

"Maybe this is not a talent, but a kind of knowledge - a knowledge of studying what people or society should be like. Even if there is no talent, it will not affect the current life, but one day, when you encounter a major obstacle in your life, if you know what to do, you may have the clue to overcome the obstacle."

Lan Qi looked out the window and answered.

"Your sister seemed to be looking for you just now, why are you so indifferent to her?"

Nikolai the Falcon nodded, and did not continue the topic with Lan Qi, but said instead.

His voice was half-joking, and there was also an obvious temptation.

Just now, when I looked towards the door of classroom 4-43, I could tell at a glance that there was a girl who looked very much like Landry among the students.

Nicholas had investigated Landry in advance, and he knew all of Landry's household registration information.

Elsa Wassington, Landry Wassington's biological sister, grew up with Landry in a small town on the border of Nicsassend in the northwest of the Kremlin Empire. She was sent to the capital Brillda a few years ago. The siblings had not seen each other for a long time, and they should have missed each other.

She seemed to have wanted to talk to her brother, Professor Landry, but when she saw that her brother was being targeted by the Imperial Special Operations Department, she no longer planned to approach him, as if she knew that approaching him might cause trouble for him. After meeting her brother's eyes, she nodded and turned away.

"Time is like a wild donkey, it never stops when it runs, and my sister has grown up in the blink of an eye."

Lan Qi sighed as if he was recalling the past,

"I can come back to deal with family affairs at any time, but the official business of the Empire cannot be delayed for a moment. I think besides Section Chief Nicholas, there are people waiting for me in the Special Operations Department."

He looked at Nicholas, otherwise they could just find a place nearby to talk, and Nicholas didn't have to wait outside the classroom so punctually to take him to the headquarters of the Empire Special Operations Department.

"Of course."

Red Falcon Nicholas did not deny Lan Qi's statement.

Indeed, he was responsible for taking Professor Landry back.

"Elsa is a sensible and distressing child. I have had little contact with her in the past few years. If Section Chief Nicholas has any doubts about me, just come to me for a talk. Please don't disturb her, okay?"

Lan Qi rarely said in a straightforward manner.

"... No problem."

Red Falcon Nicholas smiled lightly with relief and nodded.

Soon the two of them walked down from the maze-like Elliot Building and came to the street next to the square.

"Lanqi, why did you let him know that Elsa is your weakness?"

Talia asked in Lanqi's mind in confusion.

She felt that Nikola was still suspicious of Lanqi all the time, and Lanqi's answer to Nikola just now was very dangerous.

"In fact, if I didn't care about Elsa, Nikola would be suspicious. Besides, it's good to sell him a flaw. Not only can it make him sure that I care about my sister, but it can also make him feel that I am easier to control. I am a person with weaknesses and a family. Often those real spies are alone and have no worries."

Lanqi responded to Talia.

"... You are very smart."

Talia thought for a while and agreed with Lanqi.

This kid is really skilled in being a spy. He doesn't blush when encountering problems. He can jump out of all traps and find the best solution in an instant. He is simply a natural lurker.

In a short time, the black magic vehicle parked on the other side of the square road quickly moved to the road after seeing the red falcon Nikola and Professor Landry.

"Hello, sir."

The secret service personnel in formal clothes saluted Nikola through the window.

Nicholas put one hand behind his back and opened the back door for Lanci with the other hand. He watched him get into the car and then sat on the other side of the back seat.

Until the agent in the driver's seat quietly started the engine.

With a slight hum, the car drove away from the Eliot Building of St. Cremorne Monastery and headed towards the central area of ​​the capital Blild.

The Imperial Special Operations Department was established more than a hundred years ago. It was originally organized to deal with the threat of demon spies during the holy war. It played an important role in the holy war and later gradually transformed into intelligence activities against neighboring countries and the Kingdom United Parliament Alliance.

Its mission is to secretly collect secrets inside and outside the empire to protect the national security interests of the Cremorne Empire. The threats it focuses on include terrorism, organized crime, regional conflicts, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, etc. There are at least three thousand well-trained agents, with multiple regional special service stations and professional departments. They are independent of the Imperial Military Staff and Command led by the First Military God Hecintos, but they also cooperate.

Duke Dax Reynolds, the current director of the Imperial Special Operations Department, is one of the most mysterious figures in the Empire. His official position as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Director was kept secret for more than 20 years until a few years ago.

The headquarters that Nicholas the Red Falcon was going to take Ranch to was located at the Hallworth Crossroads in the center of Brillda, so he was nicknamed "Hallworth Cross Claw".

Ranch had not been to such a downtown place since arriving in the capital.

"Who will we meet later?"

Ranch asked Nicholas beside him.

In the back seat, Ranch leaned on the soft leather seat, waiting for the journey to the headquarters of the Imperial Special Operations Department.

The fragrance of flowers, wind and midday sun from the window filled the car, adding a bit of laziness to Landry's handsome face. He seemed a little tired when he got in the car after class.

Nicholas the Red Falcon still sat upright like a chess player.

"The highest commander of our Imperial Special Operations Department, Director Dax."

Red Falcon Nikolai glanced at Lanci and answered.

He found that the professor was not nervous at all when he was around him. He didn't know whether it was psychological quality or natural.

After that, he looked at the Imperial Building passing by the car window.

"Did Duke Dax ask Section Chief Nikolai to take me to the Imperial Special Operations Department?"

Lanci was slightly surprised and smiled.

"Yes, the position of honorary consultant of the Special Operations Department is not something I can decide."

Red Falcon Nikolai nodded.

"That's really flattering."

Lanci agreed to Nikolai.

"..."

Talia felt a little worried now.

The research results of Lanci's stay in the Saint Cremorne Monastery have obviously attracted the attention of many high-level officials of the Empire, and Dax is one of the big figures among them.

For a true imperial lackey, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to display talents, show value, and gain power, but for an Allied spy, this will be a dangerous place, any flaws on the body will be magnified without limit, and you may not even know when you will die.

The new environment that Lanqi is about to encounter seems to be a happy and harmonious one, but in fact, it hides countless pitfalls, which makes her heart beat uneasy all the time.

"Tata, you just do your best to be a cook, don't think about anything else, leave the work to me."

Lanqi chatted with her in his heart,

"I will definitely let you live a good life in the Empire, you can rest assured."

He added.

"Then you do your best..."

Talia didn't care about Lanqi calling her a cook, because she really helped Lanqi cook every day, and Lanqi remembered her kindness.

Hearing that Lanqi was so enthusiastic about his career, responsible and responsible, she felt that it was not bad to live with this guy. If he was not called Lanqi, he would really be an ideal partner.
