Don't confiscate my citizenship

 Chapter 763 Lan Qi’s final shadow world challenge

  One week later.

 “Today is another day full of hope.”

“New weekend, Meow, it’s been 15 days since you arrived in Brilda, the capital of Creation. It’s October 14th in the solar calendar. In late autumn, the leaves outside are starting to turn yellow.”

“Winter is getting closer and closer. You know this will be the most difficult winter for the Allies... meow, meow, meow, meow.”

 In the middle of what it was saying, Lanqi put a small piece of dried fish to its mouth.

 The cat boss can only finish his favorite dried fish first.

Before he could finish eating, his head was held down by Lan Qi.

“Boss Cat, that’s it for today’s report.”

Lan Qi said to the astonished cat boss.

"Meow?!"

It didn’t expect Lan Qi to find out how to break the Meow Meow Fist so quickly.

 “You two are really boring.”

Wearing an apron, Thalia walked back and forth between the kitchen and the dining table with a plate in her hands. She was clearing the table after today’s breakfast. She couldn’t help but comment when she saw the daily interaction between Lan Qi and the cat boss.

　　　What Mr. Cat said is true. The climate in Brilda is very easy to get cooler in the coming days. The temperature difference between day and night is also large. There is often a cold wind at night. You need to pay attention to adding clothes to keep warm.

This morning on another weekend, Lan Qi sat leisurely on the soft off-white sofa in the first-floor villa, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

“Lanqi Meow, you are about to go from a budding professor at the St. Creation Monastery to the most talked-about new star of magic engineering in the Creation Empire today.”

The little black cat patted Lanqi with its paws on the sofa, encouraging him to drive.

　　The feeling I had in the Northern Continent is back again.

Sure enough, they, the blue cat combination, were killing each other indiscriminately.

After this week's hard work, with Abigail's active support, his theory of mana fission not only accelerated its fermentation in the Empire's magic engineering, but also became more and more important to the Allied countries, forcing the Creation Empire to Objections had to be overturned, the sources of intelligence leaks screened, and their actual research accelerated.

 Professor Landry gave many lectures in Brilda, and many officials from special departments of the empire and military experts visited him every day.

“Well, I also want a ninth-level divine beast to protect me. I am scared every day.”

There have been more people assassinating him recently. Whenever he leaves St. Creation's Monastery without disguise as Professor Landry, there will be Imperial military vehicles following him.

 On the one hand, it may be to monitor him, and on the other hand, it may be to protect him.

 Professor Landry is, to some extent, an excellent bait at this point in time.

As long as you follow him and catch anyone who wants to do evil to him, you will undoubtedly be suspected of being a spy for the enemy.

The Imperial Special Operations Department now has an important task, which was personally ordered by the Emperor Saint Bardo and executed by Duke Dax, which is to find the latest research results on the principle of magic fission that have been observed in Brilda and pass them on to Who were the Allied spies?

 “Damn it, are you really not guilty of being in the Imperial Special Operations Department?”

Boss Cat saw with his own eyes that this boy Lanqi was telling lies. He promised Duke Dax that he would do his best to pay attention to any suspicious person around him and would never tolerate anyone who harmed the empire.

Nicholas Kestrel, chief of the Countermeasures Section, and Captain Maguire of the action team were staring at Ranchi all day long. Nicholas seemed to really doubt Landry, while Maguire wanted to find Landry's side. Allied spies couldn't find any clues about Ni.

In addition to academic work this week, Lanci spent a lot of time in the Imperial Special Operations Department working with Dax, Nicholas, and Maguire.

"There is no way. There are now rumors that Duke Dax of the Imperial Special Operations Department intends to retreat behind the scenes. The successor to the director is either Nicholas or Maguire, but Nicholas is a lieutenant colonel and Maguire is Colonel, it stands to reason that Maguire should be chosen, but before Duke Dax officially finalizes the matter, if Nicholas accomplishes a great feat and is promoted to the same level as Maguire, Duke Dax will have Maybe give the opportunity to his protégé Nicola, so Nicola and Maguire are keeping an eye on me during this time.”

 Lanqi put down the newspaper in his hand and said to the cat boss.

 It would be a good idea to go to the Shadow World.

 At least the Imperial Special Operations Office can divert its attention from him.

"When the empire is about to recruit people, why doesn't Duke Dax not do it?"

 The cat boss asked Lan Qi puzzledly.

 It has been following Lan Qi these days and has never understood this problem.

"It may be that the Empire's Special Operations Office has been operating too frequently in Brilda recently, causing people to panic. It also has too much power and even has priority over the military. No matter whether it is the people or the dignitaries, they disagree. Less, Emperor Saint Bardo now wants to personally take charge of the Empire's Special Operations Office. On the one hand, it can eliminate some negative voices in the country recently. On the other hand, he will definitely put Duke Dax in a higher position around him to check and balance the current situation. Commander-in-Chief Hycintos, after all, Duke Dax’s voice in the military has always been obvious to all.”

Lan Qi folded the newspaper and picked up Boss Cat.

"It's not so much that Duke Dax doesn't want to be a leader anymore, it's better to say that he saw Emperor Saint Bardo's next thought, so he took the initiative to reveal his intention to retire, so that Emperor Saint Bardo would take over. He begged to come back, as you said, 'The empire is at a time when it is employing people, and you also ask Sir Dax to contribute to the empire again.' You will be justified in giving him greater power. Everything seems natural and also It’s not like Emperor San Baldo is deliberately suppressing Hyacinthus.”

 He told the cat boss his speculation.

 Not guaranteed.

"Meow meow…"

 The cat boss is just a cat.

These power games would be great if Lanci could just think about it, but it has a lot to do.

“Well, the Imperial Special Operations Division will wait until I come back to take a look. It will be time to set off to the Shadow World Gate of St. Creation Monastery later.”

Lan Qi looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes were attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the window, and said to himself.

 The colors of the season have quietly arrived in this courtyard, and the scenery in the garden is dyed orange and red by the autumn.

The lawn is covered with a layer of golden leaves, and the sound of gurgling streams in the distance can be heard faintly, blending with the chirping of canaries into the morning melody.

Lanci picked up the hot chocolate on the coffee table and took a sip, letting the aroma spread in his mouth.

 His mood also became warm and comfortable.

Thalia changed all the drinks to hot drinks during this time.

 As expected of a gourmet of the older generation, he knows what kind of food is best to enjoy in what season.

　　　…”

Thalia took off her apron in the kitchen and held it half tight in her hands.

Listening to Lan Qi’s inner voice, I just thought Lan Qi was pretty good, and then the time came.

 “It’s time to go.”

 She walked out of the kitchen and said to Lan Qi expressionlessly.

 The expected time was nine o'clock in the morning, and now it was past eight o'clock. It was time for them to leave for the location of the Void Gate.

 “Oh, okay.”

Lanchi stood up, stretched and answered.

 “Get ready to go, the whole journey is 3.5 kilometers.”

 The cat boss reminded.

Thalia turned into orange light and disappeared on the spot silently.

 Lanci was sure that the "Crazy Love Demon" was back, and then walked to the entrance, picked up the gray coat from the coat rack, put it on, left the mansion, locked the door, and walked along the courtyard path to the campus of St. Creation's Monastery.

“You’ve been wearing this diamond-shaped striped vest recently, meow.”

The cat boss lay on Lan Qi's head, watching Lan Qi walking in the garden, observing his clothes and asked.

In the early days of the Protos Empire, Lanqi's coat might be black, beige, or purple, but it was often paired with a white shirt and a light brown diamond-shaped striped vest.

Later, after a wonderful encounter, Lan Qi began to like gray coats, and his clothing style also changed significantly. He gradually abandoned the original diamond-striped vest and mostly used more formal dark shirts.

 “The weather is getting colder.”

Lanchi answered it.

 It’s just right to add some clothes inside.

 In the early morning of late autumn, chill is permeating the air, and it is not surprising even to breathe out white mist at night.

Today is a rest day. Due to the early time and the large area of ​​the monastery, there are few people on the road.

After taking the school bus inside St. Creation's Monastery, you can occasionally see one or two school workers and some students walking towards the school building early in the morning.

Lan Qi looked out the window and felt the silence. It seemed like Thalia hadn't spoken to him for a long time.

 “Master, are you in a bad mood today?”

According to Lanci's observation, Thalia still had a happy expression when she had breakfast this morning, and she shouldn't be in a particularly bad mood.

 “The fiancée from the Allied Forces has been found for you, please be happy.”

Thalia responded in Lanci's mind.

“I heard that they just arrived in Brilda today. Miss Unity still needs to ask for their opinions.”

Lanchi knew what Thalia was thinking,

“If someone refuses at that time, I won’t have to rely on you, Master Xiang.”

But he and Thalia didn’t have time to meet Unity today, and the scheduled time in the Shadow World had arrived.

“…Since you count on me so much, I won’t be able to help you when the time comes. Who am I to be your teacher?”

Thalia's thoughts softened a lot.

 “Yes, yes.”

Lanchi clearly felt that Talia became cheerful.

 The same goes for Toliado.

He said that his fiancée had been contacted through the Church of Resurrection. He had to travel far away to pick her up in person. He had to talk to her about the specific matters in person. The other party would not believe him just by communication. If the other party was willing, Lan Qi was guaranteed to do so. When the Shadow World comes out, the opponent will be able to reach Brilda.

"Their dimensional branch is really interesting. First, the dimensional saint scolded the dimensional bishop, and now the bishop has to interview a direct soldier."

Thalia smiled.

"It won't be in the dimensional branch. The status of the dimensional bishop is the lowest."

Lan Qi currently feels that other branches may be pyramid-shaped, but the dimensional branch is an inverted pyramid. At least the status of the Dimensional Saint is higher than that of the Dimensional Bishop.

It would be unthinkable for the Holy Son of Nirvana, Agnello, to yell at Asksan, the Bishop of Nirvana in his prime, on the Northern Continent.

“Your trip to the Northern Continent seems really interesting. I wasn’t very interested in it before, but now I’m a little curious. You can tell me about it when I get back and I’m bored.”

Since Talia learned that Lan Qi was Associate Professor Xi Duo, whom she met in the Northern Continent, she gradually felt that Lan Qi's story in the Northern Continent might be interesting.

But she was never in a hurry. She had plenty of time, so it didn't matter if she was five or ten years late.

 “I hope the shadow world won’t last too long this time.”

Lanchi chatted with Talia while looking out the car window.

 The flow of time may be different for him and Thalia.

But now the mission of the Crayon Empire was imminent, and he wanted to seize every day if he could.

“Eighth-level shadow worlds are generally calculated on a monthly basis. Some may take half a year. Of course, there are also eight-level shadow worlds that are less than a month old. There is almost a half chance of getting a shadow world that is less than three months old.”

Thalia has read many books on the Southern Continent.

The time limit of the Shadow World will increase significantly as the level increases, but the correlation is not so absolute. According to statistics from the Southern Continent Shadow World Association, the average time limit of the eighth-level Shadow World currently recorded in history is 107.5 days, but the variance is extremely small. Large, it is easy to have short or extremely long shadow worlds.

“Ifatiya is still waiting for you to get her the antidote.”

Thalia also hopes that Shadow World will be a short-term type.

 She felt that after meeting her sister again, Iphatia had turned back into a harmless and cute little bread.

Evatiya now borrows Barton's communication magic and calls Lanqi to chat with her every day. The two sisters chat for an hour or two.

“When the Shadow World ends, Principal Violet may come back. Even if she is only around the province of Botswana, the empire will not let her leave the capital for too long.”

 Lanci and Talia were communicating with each other, and the target location gradually appeared in the field of vision outside the window.

In the central area of ​​St. Clare's Monastery, a majestic and eccentric building stands here, standing quietly among various areas.

Its appearance is incompatible with the surrounding buildings, more like an indestructible fortress. The dark blue structure is shaped like a mechanical Rubik's Cube, surrounded by layers of enchantment techniques, emitting a clear lavender light. The protective barrier visible to the naked eye will The building is isolated from the outside world.

Even if you look at it from a distance of one kilometer, you can feel the invisible oppression brought by this building.

Only with the formal certificate of St. Creation's Monastery or the Empire National Challenger's License can one pass through the only main entrance and pass through several strict security checks before setting foot inside.

 Until the school bus arrived, Lan Qi got off the bus with the cat in his arms.

 He ​​walked through the door and walked into the building. In front of him was a wide and empty hall with a transparent floor. Only a giant void door stood at the innermost part of the underground area.

Its appearance is strange and beautiful, like a masterpiece of the Creator. The surface is as smooth as a mirror, with liquid starlight-like brilliance flowing on the edge. The color keeps jumping between black purple and silver white.

 “Professor Landry, good morning.”

The staff in front of the gate wearing the costume of the Moon God Priest registered him with the magic instrument at hand, and said hello to Lanqi with a smile.

"Good morning."

Lanchi responded politely.

Entering the Shadow World in the Crean Empire does not have to be as cumbersome as in many countries in the Southern Continent. The Crean Empire has a complete and independent supervision system.

 People like Professor Landry are whitelisted.

 The gate slowly opened.

 “The Moon Goddess bless you.”

The Moon God Priest motioned for Lan Qi to go in.

 “Bless us all.”

Lanqi took the returned certificate, thanked the priest, and then walked towards the Gate of the Void.

 The entire door was flowing with faint purple light, appearing and disappearing, and countless stars rotated gently in the vortex, reflecting his figure.

 Hundreds of steps away, he brought the nervous cat to the door of the void.

 “Are you ready?”

Lanqi lowered his head and asked the cat boss with a smile.

Although this is not the first time that Boss Cat has challenged the Shadow World, he feels that Boss Cat will still be scared in this strange environment.

Just by getting closer, you can feel an invisible pull. The Void Gate seems to be sucking the souls of the future into this unknown world.

"Meow!"

Just thinking about the temptation of the divine beast, the cat boss dispelled his fear and clapped his paws.

 “Where are you, Master?”

 This is his first time teaming up with Talia to enter the shadow world.

 I really didn’t expect that there would be a time to challenge the shadow world with Thalia.

Every time you enter the Shadow World, your teammates are different.

But in the end, the demon princess given at the beginning was finally able to be used once.

“What do you mean it’s given at the beginning? This makes me the chosen one and the only one.”

Thalia emphasized.

 “Huhu.”

Lanqi walked straight forward and stepped in as if walking through the water.

 In an instant, sound, sight, consciousness, and even time disappeared in this moment.

All that can be felt is the breath of the universe, the endless stars, and the bottomless void.

There are two worlds weaving together and forming each other. After everything is turned upside down, we finally come to a brand new world.

　　【The blood moon bad times, the final node of "eternal tears and rain", the historical projection has been solved. 】
