Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chloris looked at Lanqi and was silent for a moment.
This conversation with Lanqi seemed to be the most surprising to her.
"Do you have any clues about the Duke's disappearance?"
Ranch asked.
"No, except that I was sure that he lost contact with me in the north. The clues were so clear that it was unbelievable. This is why I was able to conceal the Duke's disappearance."
Chloris shook her head.
Lan Qi nodded when he heard this.
In fact, theoretically speaking, Hyperion could have done the same thing when Duke Migaia disappeared, but any wrong step would lead to irreparable consequences, and Hyperion could never do such a thing.
She didn't even have a moment to mourn her father's disappearance, and she immediately took control of all the power in the family. It can only be said that Chloris is much more ruthless than Hyperion, and she has a courage that ordinary people do not have.
If you think about it carefully, this move by Miss Duchess Chloris may directly change the current situation of the Protoss Empire.
If Duke Morodian disappears at a very bad time, people will become more dependent on the Church of the Resurrection, and panic will be even worse, which is extremely easy to detonate.
Although it seems that Duke Morotian is one of the pillars supporting the war faction, in fact he is also a key pillar for maintaining the current balance of the Protoss Empire.
The fuse of this war in the Protoss Empire was caused by fear and resentment. Duke Morotian, as an existence that can suppress fear, cannot disappear.
"What are you going to do next?"
Lanqi looked at Cloris again and asked.
Her position is very clear, or even clearer, she must be against the war.
Truth cannot be hidden. Once the war really breaks out, the Duke's affairs will be exposed, and Chloris's actions will also bring her serious crimes and irreversible public backlash, and she will be doomed.
She chose to temporarily take over the power by deceiving the empire, which could bring her great initiative, but she also had to gamble that this initiative could give her a chance to defeat the person behind the scenes.
The person behind the scenes will naturally not expose her. If she tries to expose her in any way, there will be the risk of being caught and exposing herself. The person who has spent a lot of effort to control the situation would least like to see the situation suddenly come to light too early.
Cloris had calculated all of this accurately. This was both a game and a gamble.
I'm afraid even the person behind the scenes didn't expect that she would dare to play like this.
"Perhaps I can drag it out forever, but I believe someone won't let me. I guess it will take at most a month. Once the cooperation between the Resurrection Church and the Empire is completely completed, even if Duke Morodian is missing as a backbone, the gap will be filled and a war of equal strength can begin."
Chloris still looked heartless as before. She was obviously the person in the most dangerous situation, but she still looked like it had nothing to do with her.
"So what do you want me to do to help you?"
Lanqi was convinced that Cloris was an excellent partner.
At this point, they are on the same page and can benefit each other, so a deal can be done.
The good news is that her power is even greater than he imagined. She controls the entire Duke's family. The bad news is that if he cooperates with her, he will have to go all out with her.
Either you lose and become a sinner for the rest of your life, or you win and become a beacon of light for all eternity.
"There are not many directions for investigation at the moment... But since you firmly believe that those guys are not demons, I would like to ask you to go to the north to investigate. Although the hope is slim, as long as you can catch any evidence and bring it back, Associate Professor Xiduo and I can use all channels of the Duke's family to expose it. Correspondingly, our Duke's family will also be your backing in the future."
Chloris spoke slowly.
"The difficulty lies in that you need to find a way to get a pass to the northern defense line. Not only is the communication in the north blocked, but you also need a pass issued by the Imperial Defense Office."
Then she added.
Obviously, this was the only thing she couldn't help Lanqi with. If he got involved with the Duke's family when he set out, it would become quite dangerous when he went to the north.
In the imperial capital of Helrom, the great sage of the empire, Isis, and other eighth-level strongmen are in charge. Even if the enemy wants to cause trouble, they will only face greater risks. However, it is different in the north.
"I have a pass, no problem. I happen to have some official business to attend to in the north."
Lanqi leaned back in his chair calmly and said.
He has the calmness and dignity of a principal.
Despite this, Xiduo, who was sitting next to the sofa, had his eyes twitching.
Because at this moment Lanqi gave him a feeling that "he has all kinds of certificates on him". Often, such overly reliable people will make people feel that they are not doing a serious job.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Principal Lodge."
Chloris stood up, smiled and saluted Lanqi again.
Although she didn't have much expectation that Lanqi would be able to dig up anything big when he went to the north.
However, if he could really bring something back, he might soon be on the cover of Empire Weekly, and would have many interviews and speeches. Even the countries far to the north would pay attention to Rocky McCarthy.
It’s a pity that these reputations don’t mean much to him.
He seemed too selfless, or had no ambition at all.
Perhaps this is the loneliness in him. Even if he has accomplished great things, no one can share this joy with him.
Chapter 305 Lanqi only wants to be beaten to death by you today
On the platform level of the Magic Rail Station in the imperial capital of Helrom, the winter morning was stained by a faint ray of dawn light.
Although the sun has not risen completely, the light blue sky has begun to reflect light, giving a touch of warm comfort to this city-state with its clusters of tall buildings and ancient structures.
Today is the first weekend since March.
There was a faint white mist on the rails, caused by the evaporation of dewdrops caused by the drop in temperature last night. The magic train station nearby seemed particularly quiet, with only the occasional whistle and mechanical sounds to remind people.
On one side of the platform, near the station sign, Lanci was standing there. He was wearing a diamond-striped suit vest and a dark gray long coat. He looked up at the timetable on the crystal screen, then shifted his gaze to the distant end of the track in the fog, probably convinced that he would soon see a train arriving.
"Hi."
At this moment, a familiar voice broke the silence around him.
Lanci turned around.
He saw Sid standing in front of him.
She wore a flowing jacket over a slim white shirt and a black long skirt, which made her look capable and chic.
"Good morning."
Lanqi greeted Ba Catholic.
The two of them had already agreed that after he finished his week-long work at the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic, he could embark on the journey to the northern Silent Branch.
Of course, this was the task that the Imperial Capital's Silent Branch gave to these two newly promoted Silent Priests.
Although the two of them had never met each other at school, Lanqi was probably sure that Sid was pretending to be a student and keeping an eye on him.
The platform was not busy yet. In the distance, the clock tower rang the six o'clock bell. Only a few passengers who were catching the early train were in a hurry.
The two of them standing motionless at the edge of the platform seemed particularly quiet.
"Where's your cat?"
Sid looked at Lanqi's hands and then at his black scarf.
He was clearly still holding two pet tickets that he had just purchased, one of which had become his scarf, while the other was still hidden.
Lanqi said nothing, just looked down at his own shadow.
Then his shadow trembled.
It was obvious that the cat boss was scared to death.
Or it would never dare to stay with the Tyrannical Catholics.
Black Fox, on the other hand, had no idea of Sid's strength or weakness, and had no sense of vigilance towards her at all.
"It's too timid."
Lanqi turned his gaze towards Sid helplessly and said.
"That's normal. Normally, if I don't disguise myself or hide my aura, even powerful monsters will be scared away by me."
Sid didn't really care, as if he knew that he had the natural ability to repel animals.
"This cat is shy and might get closer to familiar elderly people."
Although it is not known whether Sid also wants to touch the little black cat, it seems that she does not have much hope of touching the cat owner unless she uses force.
"That's it."
During the brief exchange, the low hum of metal wheels rubbing against rails could be heard faintly in the distance.
The sound gradually grew louder, becoming clearer and clearer from the initial faint sound. Amid the roar, a golden high beam appeared in the thick fog in the distance. It was the magic rail train that was about to arrive at the station.
As the magic train slid into the platform swiftly and solemnly, the unique sense of magic vibration spread throughout the platform. After dozens of seconds of complete stop, a light smoke-like mist emerged above the train, and the door of the carriage slowly opened, revealing its luxurious interior decoration.
The Temple of the Knights of Annihilation bought tickets for the two of them so that they would sit next to each other, which was obvious without even looking.
After getting on the train, Lanqi and Sid walked through several carriages and quickly found their seats.
Thick curtains were drawn on the windows on both sides, but through the gaps in the curtains, one could still see the hazy scenery outside the window.
Lanqi looked out the window, seeming a little worried about his college in this imperial capital, while Sid picked up a magazine and newspaper and prepared to read it.
She rarely makes this kind of journey.
So now I feel extra free and even need to kill some time.
Finally, Lanqi seemed to let it go and decided to look forward to a new journey.
"Sid, you have to protect me. I'm just a fourth-level assistant."
Lanqi smiled slightly and said to Sigrid.
Sigrid was hell bent on returning to her teenage state.
However, even though Sid suppressed her strength back to the fourth level, she still had a sense of oppression towards those at the same level. It seemed that when she was at the fourth level, she could almost always defeat any opponent of the same level with one punch.
"I want to make it clear to you first. I am only your companion now. Although theoretically it is possible to save your life, I will not stop you from committing suicide. I know how to respect the fate of others. When I judge that you are going to do something that will kill you, I will no longer follow you."
Sid turned his head and looked at him, speaking bluntly without any sympathy.
"..."
Lanqi was still smiling politely, but his expression stopped changing dynamically for the time being.
It seems that it is impossible to infringe upon the enemy and then drive West Germany to help kill the enemy in seconds.
