Don't confiscate my citizenship

 Chapter 734 Hyperion is approaching

The car is traveling on the winding mountain road in the Knox Mountains.

Huberly looked out the window quietly and found that whenever the car was about to reach a roadless point, a traffic sign would appear on the side of the road: "Turn ahead" or "Pay attention to sharp turns", and after turning each corner, As usual, there is a darkness ahead, and it suddenly becomes clear.

 “The mountain road is winding and full of twists and turns.”

Hyperion, who had changed her appearance, muttered silently.

The big characters "Turn Ahead" hit her eyes again and again, just like Lan Qi once opened her heart.

 It turns out that it’s not that the road has come to an end, but that it’s time to apply the brakes and slow down.

Every time she felt that she was in a desperate situation, Lan Qi would appear like a hero and tell her that it was not that the sky was falling, but that a turning point had come.

 “Huberlian, you are thinking about Lan Qi again, right?”

 Antanas on the side suddenly poked Hyperion.

 “No, no.”

Hyperion came back to her senses and shook her head.

　　　…”

Antanas smiled helplessly and sighed, saying nothing more.

Hyperion’s eyes have everything written clearly.

 It's just that she is shy by nature and doesn't want to admit it.

Now that they have arrived at the border of the Creain Empire, except for Hyperion, in order to make it easier for them to protect her on the road, Florence also tried her best to help the four big demons arrange their identities. .

It doesn't matter at the border. The four of them want to keep a low profile and hide themselves. No one can detect them. Only when sneaking into a core city like Brilda, they need to turn all the big demons into magic cards to hide the excessive density. detection.

Antanas once again followed Hyperion's dazed gaze and looked out the window.

 The Empire of Creain to the south of the Kingdom of Hutton.

In the north, there is a city called Glen Waverley, which is one of the most prosperous main cities in the easternmost border territory in the north.

 Whenever autumn comes, this city often shows its unique charm due to its natural scenery and humanities, and there is an endless stream of tourists.

The city of Glen Waverley is surrounded to the north by towering mountains. The mountains stretch into the clouds, like a natural barrier, isolating the city-state from the Knox Mountains in the north. The city's mainstays are built suspended between several intertwined peaks. Most of the buildings are built in dark gray or white classical style.

 There are stone arch bridges between the peaks, connecting the various buildings into a magnificent whole.

 “Huberlian, have you been here?”

 Sinola seemed to be able to read Hyperion's eyes, observed her cheeks, and asked.

 “I came here when I was a child. You can get it from Nanwantina by boat.”

Hyperion nodded.

To the east is the endless sea, with waves lapping at the rocks on the shore, making waves. In the peak season, merchant ships are always coming and going on the pier. The sails of the ships are hunting in the sea breeze, and the seagulls are hovering on the masts of the ships, emitting a roar. The chirping is endless.

 But now, Glen Waverley, which is close to the front line of the eastern theater, has become the main city strictly guarded by the imperial army, as tight as a fortress.

“I heard that Mr. Noe’s Wilford Chamber of Commerce was originally located in Glen Waverley.”

 Antanas said with emotion.

 Compared with the city of Glen Waverley, the Kingdom of Hutton seems a bit far away.

The two countries are separated by the long Knox Mountains, which blocks communication between the two countries.

Even if a large amount of goods is transported from the southern border of the Kingdom of Hutton to the northern border of the Kraiju Empire, it must be detoured to the east and reached by sea and merchant ships, which undoubtedly increases the cost and difficulty of transportation.

 However, it is this isolated geographical location that gives Glen Waverley its unique commercial advantage.

It is like a bright pearl, embedded in the northern borderland of the Creja Empire.

The Wilford family made a fortune because of this. Even during the war, their family had special freight channels. It was said that they were left behind by a mysterious businessman more than ten years ago. He invested in the Wilford Chamber of Commerce and also Helped the Wilford Chamber of Commerce to establish a secret path to and from the Kingdom of Hutton and the Empire of Creja.

This secret, the head of the family, Noe Wilford, did not even let Ranchi know, because it was a guarantee for the benefactor of the Chamber of Commerce and would not be exposed to anyone other than the head of the family. Apart from Noe, there was only Han, the butler left by the mysterious businessman. Si understands.

 It was only now that the Wilford Chamber of Commerce was closed down that the butler Hans and Pranay mentioned the past during a casual chat.

 Sinora, who was sitting on the other side of Hyperion, twitched her eyes slightly when she heard this.

 She heard that Lan Qi was considered a rich second generation in the beginning.

 After Lanci’s disdainful efforts, he finally succeeded in making the Wilford family almost bankrupt.

"It's okay. Don't worry about money. I can spend all my money on him. When the war is over, if the Wilford Chamber of Commerce wants to resume business, the Duke's family will invest in the Wilford Company."

Hyperion assured boldly.

“Rich lady, don’t abandon us when you become a duchess.”

Looking at Hyperion's confident look, Antanas couldn't help but hugged her slender arms and looked at her pleadingly.

 “Don’t forget our two good friends.”

 Sinora also tilted her head and leaned against her.

 “You can stay at the Duke’s house as long as you want.”

Hyperion hugged her sheepishly.

 She always takes Antanas and Sinora back to the Duke's Mansion to play together. Now she feels that she may not be able to live alone in the Duke's Mansion in the future.

As they chatted, the vehicle slowly approached the checkpoint guarded by the 3rd Division of the 7th Border Guards of the Creation Empire.

 When the vehicle slowed down and stopped for inspection, the Imperial Army soldiers immediately stepped forward to investigate.

The man in the driver's seat pressed down the window and showed the officer a document stamped with the bright red seal of the "Chaos Chamber of Commerce" in the Northwest Nyksasend Territory.

“We are the trade representatives of the Northwest Frontier Chamber of Commerce. We are taking stock of the last trade goods on the eastern coast. Now we are going to the capital to discuss acquisitions with companies in the capital.”

 He looked polite and his tone was calm and polite.

 The soldiers carefully reviewed the documents and then ordered several people in the car to get out for inspection.

 A comprehensive search of the vehicle followed.

  After a while.

 “Is that all right, sir?”

Pranay asked respectfully.

“You have to stay here for twenty-four hours, re-declare and re-verify the safety information with us and the province before you can pass.”

 After everything was done, the soldiers took Pranay to a nearby post and gave him several documents to fill out again.

 In the post, a young officer with the rank of captain was reviewing documents.

 “No problem, sir.”

While Pranay agreed, he glanced sharply at the officer who might be a "suitable" target and walked closer to him.

Just when the captain looked up at Pranai in confusion.

 Pranai took out an exquisite cigarette case from his briefcase and handed it to the officer.

"This is the characteristic of our northwest Nixasend Territory. If you have been to the northwest, you will be sure that we are from there." Pranai lowered his voice half a minute and said.

The captain hesitated for a moment, then took the cigarette case.

 The moment he touched the cigarette case, he was convinced that the weight was wrong.

 Too light.

The officer gently opened a corner of the cigarette case with one hand and found several rolls of large bills inside. He closed it naturally.

"Our chamber of commerce is always grateful for the military's contribution. Please accept a box of cigarettes."

 Pranai said sincerely.

The officer nodded with understanding and took the document out of Pranay's hand.

“At first glance, he is a good businessman who can help the world. Don’t waste your time serving the empire. I wish you a safe journey.”

The officer said in a businesslike tone, with a hint of tacit understanding in his eyes.

Pranai saluted the officer, turned around and walked steadily out of the post.

 After a while, the vehicle started again, slowly passing through the checkpoint and heading towards Glen Waverley Station.

“Pranay, why do you know so much?”

 In the car, Antanas, who was in the back seat, leaned forward and asked with interest.

 Supposedly, there is no problem with their documents, but they may be stuck for a long time, which will delay them a little longer.

 With Pranay, the journey became much smoother.

"It's very simple. If you can't understand the thoughts of ordinary humans, it will be difficult to understand Lan Qi's heart."

Pranay drove the car and replied without looking back.

As the owner of a special magic eye, he could tentatively see that the officer was someone who could be impressed in this way.

If he didn't have this ability, he would not have agreed to let Hyperion go to the Creja Empire. Instead, he would have used the safest decision to fulfill Lanci's request and keep Hyperion in Icerita.

Of course, there are dangers around Lan Qi. Lan Qi always likes to play to the extreme. In order to be safe, Pranai had to learn to understand Lan Qi's thoughts.

“Pranay, you have really changed a lot. You have actually learned to observe human beings carefully instead of just doing research.”

The Ice Witch said while sitting in the passenger seat.

 Or in other words, in the Northern Continent, it was a miracle that someone could bring Pranai out of the Hellrom underground prison.

"Now I think it's good to stay in human society. The reason why we can become the surviving great demons is also a selection process of natural selection? Maybe we are the most suitable demons to coexist with humans. clan.”

　　Pranai looked at the road ahead and muttered to himself.

 Having passed the border customs and completed the transfer procedures to the capital Brilda, we are now heading to the train station.

Pranay was driving, while the Ice Witch sat in the passenger seat and read maps and newspapers.

Huberli was still sitting in the middle in the back row, with Antanas and Sinora accompanying her on the left and right.

Hyperion silently listened to the conversation between Pranay and the Ice Witch.

 In her opinion, Pranay and the Snow Witch are more like her elders, while Antanas and Shinola are more like her contemporaries.

However, there is no discussion of seniority among immortal species like demons, otherwise it will become quite confusing. It is possible that demons who are much younger than you are actually older than you.

 Hence, the first thing to do when getting along with immortal species is to abandon the usual human concept of seniority and get along with each other naturally.

Logically speaking, being surrounded by four big demons is a very scary thing. She would have been scared to tears if she had not tried Purgatory Corridor Academy a year ago, but now the big demons seem to have become her family and friends. .

“Teacher, how is the situation on the front line?”

Hyperion still couldn't help but ask.

 She worries about it every day.

 Even worried that Lan Qi was on the southern front of the Posen Kingdom.

Lanchi's last previous contact was that he would join the army and he lost contact for a while.

Of course, according to Pranay's guess, Lanqi may have joined the army to join the opposite side.

 But Hyperion was still worried about Lanqi.

“Originally, the battle for large-scale energy strategic points in the west was about to enter a white-hot stage, and then it was shot down by the Tenth Army God Ruby Seat. One more history book may have to be written.”

 The Ice Witch shook her head and said,

 “But these are all okay and are barely acceptable to both parties.”

Her expression now became much more solemn.

　　　…”

There is no need for the Ice Witch to say anything more. Hyperion followed the newspaper in the Ice Witch's hand and saw the huge potential threat to the empire.

  At the beginning of October, the outbreak of a full-scale war in the southern continent attracted the imperial military's rapid attention to the potential of mana fission weapons.

 Landry Wassington, a magician from the Creation Empire, demonstrated the fission phenomenon of magic cards mixed between matter and magic through a magic energy bombardment experiment in Brilda.

They observed that the magic cards split into lighter divine elements, which are homologous to the natural magic cards in the shadow world. In other words, this is some origin of the shadow world. This discovery revealed the possibility of magic fission.

He explained this phenomenon at the Monastery of St. Creation and proposed the term "magic fission". He also calculated and estimated the huge energy released during the fission process.

The spies of the Kingdom United Council Alliance in the Crayon Empire quickly reported the situation back to the countries.

 At the beginning, countries did not pay too much attention to this research.

　　followed by.

 Magic engineers such as Borao and Alex Wolson sent a joint letter to Rosemont, Speaker of the Western Hub Kingdom United Council Alliance, warning him that the Creation Empire may be developing an extremely dangerous and destructive weapon.

 Significantly prompted the Allied Parliament to pay attention to this research.

In the Kingdom of Canberra, magic engineers began to conduct preliminary research on magic energy fission.

Magic engineers including Alex Woolson, Quentin Hayes and others have carried out important experimental work at Western Hub University and the University of Slovenia.

"Fortunately, the Allied spies are very reliable and can always get the core research results of the empire very quickly. According to the current intelligence control, the research progress of the Creation Empire is still very slow. It seems that there are serious internal differences. This The cake is big enough, and we can’t decide on the leader yet.”

The Ice Witch flipped through the newspaper and preached.

 Until her eyes stopped on a photo.

Under the administrative building of the Imperial Special Operations, several special service officers cordially received a young Imperial professor in a gray coat. They looked collusive and powerful, and everything seemed to be written on that face: "Loyalty and bravery come first; On the banner of "Iron-blooded Protector of the Country".

 And he was proud of it, with his back straight and a thumbs up.

 “This Imperial Eagle Hound…”

Hyperion felt her teeth tingle.

Everyone in this photo may be harboring ulterior motives, but this professor’s warlord temperament doesn’t look like he was acting.
