The warm light in the bedroom seemed to keep all the shadows and late autumn chill out of the door, and the moonlight softly sprinkled on the knight-patterned carpet and luxurious furniture.
Across the long table, Alexia, the third princess of the Cretan Empire, was still sitting there. Her brown hair fell naturally on her shoulders, her eyes were like a deep lake, but they were already drowsy and lacked luster, and her cheeks looked pale and transparent in the moonlight.
It was as if after struggling with all her might, she was met with utter despair, and her hope was finally shattered and could never be put back together again.
"So in your opinion, Princess Alexia, is it true that the Krelian Empire has not shown any signs of being eroded at all?"
Lanqi confirmed it again with Alexia, looking relieved.
"No."
Alexia's voice was short and firm.
However, when Lanqi said this, she felt like she was being tortured repeatedly.
Although Alexia knew Lanqi didn't mean it because he knew nothing.
But if he asked again on purpose, then this person's character is really bad.
pity.
She would not dream of "an omniscient and omnipotent patriotic hero who would save her and her country", because that was a story that only appeared in fairy tales.
"..."
Hyperion didn't dare to speak, she remained tense and paid close attention to every possible piece of information.
She could see that Princess Alexia was particularly stubborn.
Under the influence of the great poet of love, the princess's mood swings were obvious.
At this moment, Hyperion's mind was also full of calculations.
She didn't want Ranchi and Princess Alexia to notice anything.
Only she knew that the disappearance of her father, Duke Miaia Alansar, was related to the Cretan Empire.
As a princess, Miss Alexia may know some crucial information!
But Hyperion was unwilling to drag Lanci into the water, so she could only listen, hoping that Lanci could inadvertently help her get some information that would help find Duke Migaia.
however.
Even though Hyperion behaved as usual, Lanci still looked at her.
He smiled but said nothing.
This shocked Hyperion!
She felt that there was nothing wrong with her acting skills.
Why did Lanqi's sudden gaze make her feel inexplicably that he could see through her thoughts?
"Huprienne, don't worry. We subjectively believe that she is a suspected accomplice of the Church of Resurrection. Therefore, it will not violate the international laws of the Southern Continent if we remain vigilant or even restrain her before confirming her identity."
Lanqi just said gently.
His words made Hyperion feel relieved.
It turned out that I was just worrying too much.
"..."
Lanqi smiled and turned his head away without saying anything.
He seemed to be laughing at Princess Alexia's stubborn attitude.
In fact, Hyperion didn't know that he already knew many things. Even when Lanqi told her before that he would rescue Migaiya, she still treated it as a joke.
To retrieve Duke Migaiya, we must do so before the ninth ancestor, Marquis Bernhard, lifts the seal, kills Duke Migaiya and obtains the [Original Slate - Dark].
[Original Slate - Dark] is an irresistible top-level magic card for every vampire, as they are naturally friendly to the dark attribute.
In the era when the vampires were sealed, it seemed that the [Original Slate] series of props had not yet been born in the world, so none of the newly unsealed vampires possessed the [Original Slate]. Even in the main story a year and a half later, the vampires launched an action to hunt for the holders of the slate.
The [Original Slate] series has the characteristic of "dropping upon the holder's death", but for the vampires who possess immortality, obtaining the [Original Slate] is almost equivalent to possessing it permanently.
Since the [Original Slate - Dark] will be obtained by the Ninth Ancestor Marquis Bernhard in the future, and Lanqi knows that the Third Ancestor, the Seventh Ancestor and the Eighth Ancestor have all unlocked it earlier but did not get Migaiya's [Original Slate - Dark], it is highly likely that Migaiya is still alive.
According to Lanqi's plan, after returning from the northern continent after searching for the [Original Slate-Seal] and preparing to challenge the Shadow World again, he will go to the vampire nest of the Kremer Empire with Hyperion to conduct an ecological balance survey.
It would be best if we could get a helper from the Kremer Empire before that.
As long as Princess Alexia is the enemy of the vampires, they have the same goal.
So Lanci decided to test her a little.
"Your Highness Alexia, based on your answer just now, I would like to make a bold guess that the current predicament of the Krelian Empire is not the Resurrection Church, but rather that there are creatures far more terrifying than the cultists that are causing you so much fear."
Lanqi put down the teacup and turned his gaze away from the princess while speaking. His eyes were calm, but his tone was firm.
"...I don't understand what you are talking about. Besides, the Krei Empire is not in any trouble at the moment. There is no need for you to have such wild thoughts!"
Alexia's shoulders trembled slightly. Although she was still refuting Lanci, even Hyperion could see that she was being stubborn.
Lanqi's words seemed to be able to accurately break her defense.
"With the twelve generals protecting the country here, why are you afraid? Can't you tell which of them have been manipulated?"
Lanqi chuckled and spoke to himself.
"Every word you say now is a felony. Stop it. I can forgive you for what you have done."
Alexia lowered her voice in a short and cold tone, trying her best to suppress her emotions that were about to go haywire.
She could have maintained her acting skills and answered Lanqi from the very beginning, but in the end, she was unable to control herself under the influence of the great poet of love!
She didn't know why Lanqi kept testing her again and again, as if he could see through all her inner thoughts!
"Is there anyone in the palace that scares you recently?"
Lanqi didn't give her a chance to pause, and new words came out.
"I'm warning you, don't ask any more questions!"
There was something clearly wrong with Alexia's voice, and she was shaking like a little lion.
"There is at most one and a half years left..."
Lanci tapped the table lightly, as if giving Alexia the final answer.
His voice was as firm as the sound of the clock tower of fate in the dark night.
"The blood moon will completely cover the entire Kreihe Empire. Your Highness, your country is going to perish."
The brief words exploded in Princess Alexia's ears like thunder.
"!!"
With the sound of tables and teacups knocking against each other, Princess Alexia finally stepped back half a step in panic and stood up.
In the dark night, she was like a girl frightened by thunder.
She stared at Lanqi, trying to find out something from his eyes, but she could not find any answers from those natural emerald green eyes.
Even though Lanqi could detect some clues from her behavior and words.
But looking at the current north and south continents, no one in their right mind would believe that a behemoth like the Kremer Empire would be destroyed by the vampires in just a year and a half!
"What on earth do you know..."
There was resentment and unwillingness in her eyes, as if the tears that had dried up began to flow again.
Chapter 149: Lanqi saw all the secrets of the vampire clan
Late at night in the second-floor bedroom of Lichtenstein Castle, it was so quiet that only the faint sound of the breeze passing through the ancient window frame could be heard.
The moonlight from outside the window seeped into the room, covering the old carpet and furniture, casting a cold silver light.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, and every corner was filled with mystery.
"Your Highness Alexia, please calm down for a moment. We can talk slowly."
Lanqi's words were still so calm.
Although Hyperion, who was sitting next to him, had not spoken a word from beginning to end, she was stunned at this moment as if the computer had frozen. She opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Lanqi.
She originally just hoped that Lanqi could ask for some information about the possible relationship between the Cremona Empire and Duke Migaia, and she would listen from the side.
I didn't expect that Lanqi's few words would create such a big hole!
Just now, Lanqi said in front of the princess that the Cretan Empire would be destroyed, and Hyperion almost went to stop Lanqi.
What Hyperion never expected was.
Look at Princess Alexia's reaction.
Is that really true???
How did he know this? And how much secrets does he know about the Kremer Empire?
Hyperion had mixed feelings.
She was delighted by Lanqi's surreal reliability, but also confused as to why Lanqi knew everything. She also felt a sense of unreality, as if in a dream.
At the moment when Ranchi was the only one who remained calm among the three people in the room, Princess Alexia finally sat down on the chair again in a daze.
Although she didn't know what secrets Lanqi had, she could no longer ignore his words.
"Who controls the Kreihe Empire now? The third ancestor, Duke Lachar, the seventh ancestor, Marquis Helitier, or the eighth ancestor, Marquis Somerset?"
Ranchi asked when he saw Princess Alexia concentrate again.
What he values is openness and honesty.
There are many details to discuss, and we will have several days to discuss them in detail.
Now all we need to do is to find out the information he cares about most as quickly as possible.
"?"
However, Princess Alexia showed a puzzled expression, obviously she had never heard of the names that Lanqi mentioned.
"Hold on."
