Don't confiscate my citizenship

In the imperial capital of Herom, on the northernmost side of Protos Royal Academy of Magic, the Red Mondstadt Administration Building stands majestically.

Its windows are lightly covered with an almost transparent film of leaves, and the morning sunlight shines through them, softly and warmly falling on the interior like thin golden threads.

The entire office is filled with the fragrance of spring flowers floating outside the window, which is a gift from time and nature.

The room at this moment seemed much emptier than before.

Many bookshelves have been cleared of documents, like an office whose owner is about to move out.

Lanci sat alone in his spacious office, staring at the ancient book of Protus.

A hard-working principal, it is rare to see him spending time in the office in a leisurely manner.

More than ten days have passed since the election of Bishop Protus, which caused great turmoil.

These few days will also be his last days in the Protos Empire.

"Hello."

With a slight knock on the door, the door slowly opened, and a wave of fragrance poured in.

Pranay wore a neat Protos-style suit and walked elegantly into Ranchi's office with a tray in his hand.

"Helrom's linden flower tea, please use it."

He gently placed the classically patterned teacup in the right place next to Lan Qi's hand.

Lan Qi closed the heavy classic in his hand, placed it next to his desk, and raised his tea cup to taste it.

The linden flower tea seemed to have been slightly added with a little honey, salt and lemon juice by Pranay, which did not bring any sourness, leaving only a fresh taste, which was just in line with his mood at the moment.

"Pranai, thank you. We will leave in two days, so why bother to accompany me?"

Lan Qi responded softly, with a relaxed expression on his face, and leaned back on the office chair.

The three big demons have also had less work recently. Only one big demon works as the principal's secretary at Protos Royal Academy of Magic every day, and the other two can freely play in the imperial capital Herom.

In a few days, Lan Qi will take them to leave the Northern Continent, so in their opinion, this is a rare Northern Continent vacation.

If Antanas, the guardian, was accompanying Lan Qi, he would chat with him non-stop, just like having a sparrow by his side.

Sinora, the lawbreaker, will be quite quiet, but extremely reserved. Calling her name suddenly may scare her into taking two steps back.

It is most natural to get along with the Pranay of truth. Whether it is work ability or etiquette, it is impeccable.

The person in charge of being the secretary today happens to be Pranay.

"No."

Pranay shook his head,

"I'd be happy to stay with you for however long it takes."

There was a slight smile on his handsome face.

The smiles of demons are often like this.

You can't tell whether it's a real smile or a fake smile.

But no matter what, it is more comfortable to get along with a demon who can laugh than with a demon who never laughs.

"Wang, are you thinking of someone?"

Pranay asked, observing Lanchi's satisfied expression while drinking tea.

"Guess what."

Lan Qi is very free today anyway.

"Thalia?"

Pranay replied.

"...?"

Lan Qi was in a daze. He didn't know why Pranay guessed it correctly. He looked up at Pranay.

"There are only three women you may be thinking of, but the expressions when you think of the three are different. If there is a faint sarcasm in your smile, first of all, it cannot be the second princess you respect the most, and secondly, it is not the second princess you respect the most. If it’s Miss Sigrid, then it’s most likely Thalia.”

Pranay explained for Ranchi.

In fact, he discovered that if his inference was correct, then the frequency of Wang's thoughts about Thalia was really unusually high. He would think about Thalia almost once or even several times every day.

Although this may not be love, Wang and Thalia always feel like a pair of enemies.

The only thing that worries Pranay is that according to Thalia's temper, Wang's behavior may be a bit dangerous. Sooner or later, she will understand what Wang is thinking.

But it should be fine.

Wang is very strong and is unlikely to get into trouble.

Pranay couldn't imagine the scene where Talia and Wang exploded together.

"..."

Lan Qi drank scented tea and remained silent.

He never thought that Pranai could reason out this.

Lan Qi quickly adjusted his thoughts and decided to think of something happy. He coughed twice and asked Pranai again:

"Guess who I'm thinking about right now?"

"Miss Sigrid?"

Pranay thought for a moment and asked.

"How did you reason it out?"

Lan Qi looked at the glass of the bookcase and looked at his expression reflected in it, wondering where the flaw was.

"It's actually very obvious this time. No reasoning is needed because you smile so naturally."

Pranay replied with a smile.

Sometimes people's smiles are invisible to themselves.

It's just that Pranay never thought before that the king would show such a human-like expression.

"Is this so?"

Lan Qi continued to sip the tea.

Pranay did guess right both times.

Of course, it is also possible that the comparison between Thalia and Sigrid is too obvious.

No matter what she thought, Sigrid was a woman who would be extremely popular.

Lanci has not seen Sigrid for more than a week.

The day of the episcopal election ended with the defeat of Duke Morotian.

Several strong men joined forces with Helrom to successfully intercept and kill Duke Morodian.

Although Duke Morotian's pursuit battle that day caused some damage to the city, it was less than expected.

Duke Morodian did not want to give the Protos Empire any chance to capture him.

Accordingly, if we must try to forcibly capture Duke Morodian, the eighth-level strongest man who possesses the original slate, regardless of the unpredictable success rate, and extend the battle line, I am afraid that Herrom will no longer be there.

After Duke Molotian was executed, Sigrid assisted the Protos Empire military in starting a series of urgent northern investigations at the request of the Great Sage Isis.

In addition, Sigrid, as the Catholic Overlord, has become a true partner of the Protos Empire as she wished, and the future affairs will be even more busy.

The last time Lan Qi saw her was in the afternoon when the bishop election ended. She found Lan Qi and asked Lan Qi to wait for her, and then left with the great sage Isis.

And then some time.

News of the Protos Empire is everywhere.

But during this period of heyday, Lanci refused all interviews and expressed his intention to gradually downplay himself on the stage of Herrom.

So he resumed his regular job at Protos Royal Academy of Magic.

On the contrary, the great priest Loren became the object of praise...

There was even a scoring session for Bishop Protus on the Helrom Broadcasting Company. The intrusive high priest Loren became the only character rated by hundreds of thousands of citizens and received a 10-point rating. Many people began to use the idea of ​​​​the reincarnation of the benevolent and righteous Holy Emperor. Describe him.

Lan Qi remembered that Loren also admired this ancient emperor. If he heard others describe him like this, he would definitely be very happy.

Although the Protos Empire still chooses to cooperate deeply with the Church of Resurrection, or more accurately it should be called cooperation with the Tyrant branch.

But this country also strangely does not reject the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. Everyone from the people to the powerful have the highest respect for the priests of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.

"You don't look like you have much work to do today?"

Pranai saw Lanchi finishing the tea leisurely and poured him another cup.

"Yes, the work that needs to be done is basically done. We can prepare for our trip back to the Southern Continent."

Lan Qi took the teacup and put it in his hand, thanked him and replied,

"After returning to the Southern Continent, your main job is to protect Hyperion who lives in Boss Cat's restaurant. For example, if you see someone coming to the restaurant to cause trouble, just help stop them. Of course, eating the Overlord meal is absolutely not allowed. Allowed."

There had been a situation where a killer chased him to the Cat Boss restaurant and was stopped by Talia.

The vampires and the Church of Resurrection in the Southern Continent seem to have reasons for killing Hyperion, and her Death Star will only become stronger each time.

Although I brought her to the Northern Continent for half a year, I might have temporarily avoided one or two death crises.

But the backlog of death omens will not disappear, they will only come in one fell swoop.

After thinking about it, Lan Qi still felt uneasy.

From now on, there will be four big demons in Boss Cat's restaurant, so they should be able to protect Hyperion.

As well as giving her a homely feel.

Hyperion had taken the magic rail train back to Milford Territory in the Northwest Province a few days ago.

Before returning to the Southern Continent, she will first go to Gedaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Estherland, to report the process and results of this mission to her teacher, the Snow Witch, and then the Church of Destiny will make arrangements for her. Return route.

Even if Antanas cannot be brought back to the Kingdom of Estherland, the Protos Empire has no intention of going to war, and the two giant countries on the southern coast of the northern continent are preparing for peace talks.

In about a week, Hyperion will take a boat from the border of the Kingdom of Estherland to the southern coast of the Protos Empire.

Lan Qi will also take Boss Cat and the big demons to join Hyperion at the appointed time and take a boat back to the Southern Continent.

It seems like it took a while...

Lan Qi looked at the calendar and thought.

By the time he and Hyperion return, the semester at Icerite College may be almost over.

When Dean Loren approved the project and stamped it, he said that the two of them could delay their return for up to two months. If they exceeded this time limit, they would risk being dropped from school.

The two-month extension, plus the three-and-a-half-month vacation, gives a total of five-and-a-half months of allowed time for the project. Normally, even a search trip to the Northern Continent would be enough.

Including the round trip, they expected it would take more than half a year.

However, he and Hyperion slightly overfulfilled their task this time, which Dean Loren should be able to understand.

"I understand, you can reassure the restaurant owner about the security of the restaurant."

Pranay saluted and responded.

"Speaking of which, will one day all the seven great demons gather at Boss Cat's restaurant? That's more than half of it."

Lan Qi held her chin and couldn't help but think.

It is said that there were seven great demons who survived the demon world back then, and now four of them are living a comfortable life.

If possible, Lanqi hopes to get all of Talia's friends back.

She will be very happy.

"First of all, it is unlikely that Artemis of Ice and Snow would come to a restaurant next to a school. That guy is already the chosen saint of the Church of Destiny. She should not be so free that she would put down her official duties and come to visit the Southern Continent."

Pranay shook his head,

"As for the remaining two great demons, there are no clues at all."

"Who is the last big demon?"

Lan Qi sipped her tea and asked thoughtfully.

The Ice Witch said that she was an anti-war faction, and Thalia and her sister Ifatia were anti-war factions. In addition to the three conservatives in the Imperial Prison, there was also a surrender faction.

"He was the weakest general at that time. He was mainly responsible for intelligence work in the rear. Although he has a good relationship with us, his identity is unknown. No demon has seen his true face. Even his name may be fake. of."

Pranay seemed to have a headache just thinking about that demon.

"Then isn't he the strongest among all the surviving great demons?"

Lan Qi said in surprise.

After all, he is a general, not a civil servant.

"If Princess Ifatiya didn't show off, she might be better than him. The second princess's talent is exaggerated, but if you ask her to study or work, it will be more uncomfortable than killing her."

Pranay sighs.

"..."

Lan Qi thought it was quite cruel.

The second princess has no interest, and the eldest princess has no talent.

But it doesn’t matter!

The eldest princess still has merit.

Her good appetite means she is in good health and will surely live a long life. Some time ago, Antanas and I found out about Talia's true age and found that her eight hundredth birthday was coming soon, so we had to give her a good celebration then. .

"..."

Pranay was about to say something, but decided against it.
