"Okay, don't worry, I will further investigate this person. Before everything is finalized, Professor Landry, please rest assured that we will not arrest any loyal minister by mistake, nor let any traitor go."
Nicholas the Kestrel nodded and promised the professor.
He thinks Landry is a smart guy.
Now that part of his academic results have been made public in the Empire, and these contents have also begun to ferment rapidly in the Imperial academic circles, perhaps everything is in Landry's plan.
By then, even if Lovia's information is really fabricated by Landry, someone from the Empire will come to protect Landry so that the Special Operations Department will not be able to easily touch such a magical engineer.
But Nicholas wants to arrest people, and he has many ways, but now the time has not come.
"So is there anything else?"
Lan Qi looked at the clock in the classroom and asked Nicholas the Kestrel nonchalantly.
Not only was Lanci very calm, Talia was not as nervous this time as she was last time.
Nicholas the Kestrel did not find out the identity of Lovia, a 62-year-old man, as an Allied spy. It was just that Lan Qi had not secretly leaked the information yet.
This kid seems to be deliberately trying to make Nicholas doubt him first, and then start to dispel Nicholas's suspicion when the suspicion reaches its peak, until it is completely reversed.
He left it here to play on purpose.
Talia even felt that even if Lan Qi had several girlfriends at the same time, he could coax each of them to good things, and even make them feel guilty and unwilling to doubt him.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, he can play with people's psychology.
What a born scumbag saint.
Playing with men and women.
"I would like to invite Professor Landry to serve as Honorary Advisor to our Imperial Special Operations Institute."
Nikolay the Kestrel bowed slightly to Lan Qi and handed over a gold-plated card with the emblem of the Creation Army and the unique logo of the Special Operations Division engraved on it.
The most corner of the card is also printed with the institute’s certification coating.
Lan Qi stared at the card, then raised his eyes again to look at Nicholas the Kestrel.
Even among the people, there have been rumors that the Imperial Special Operations Department also has a secret laboratory that develops various silent special weapons, such as poisons, alchemical organisms, high-performance explosive devices, etc. The research institute is also located in the capital Brill Da.
The honorary advisor is not a formal position, but he is nominally a member of their Empire's Special Operations Division. From now on, Nicholas will not need to go to great lengths to see Landry.
"Is Chief Nikolai inviting me to join the Imperial Special Operations Division?"
Lan Qi asked Nicholas with surprise and interest.
"of course."
Nicholas answered decisively.
"This job is completely free of charge. You would have to be crazy to agree to it."
Thalia said in Lanci's mind.
There is neither a formal establishment nor actual power, just a title. At the same time, they may be summoned by the Imperial Special Operations Office to help them with their affairs.
If anything happens, Nicholas the Kestrel will immediately suspect Lan Qi. At the same time, everything Lan Qi does in the Imperial Operations Department will be monitored to a very high degree.
And as long as Lan Qi agrees to him, Kestrel Nicholas can arrest Lan Qi at the Imperial Special Operations Office at any time, even if there is no conclusive evidence.
This is asking you to enter the urn.
It can be said to be a hundred harms without any benefit.
"But Tata, think about it, if you were a magic engineer who was truly loyal to the empire and wanted to make an irreplaceable contribution to the empire at this point in time, what would you choose?"
Lan Qi responded to the thought.
"…Then I might actually agree."
Talia put herself in the shoes of the character described by Lanqi and came to this answer.
"Then there's only one answer."
Lanci said to Talia in his heart, while smiling and holding out his hand to Nicholas in the classroom.
This is unquestionable loyalty, a stance that will not waver, and a determination that will not hesitate.
"Of course it would be my pleasure, Mr. Nicholas."
Ranchi said to Nicholas the Kestrel,
"Let us serve the Empire together."
Chapter 728 Lan Qi’s Promotion
The time of a class is fleeting.
Outside the classroom, in the bright black and white checkered marble corridor, golden particles float leisurely in the air.
As a sound of bells rang over the central building complex of St. Creation's Monastery, it marked the end of Ranchi's class today.
Even so, no students left the classroom, and some students who were eager for knowledge gathered at the desk and asked him questions.
It wasn't until a long time passed that the students with doubts initially understood the problem and no longer surrounded him. He quietly closed the lecture notes, carefully placed the heavy ancient books on the sandalwood podium, and greeted the students in the audience. With a friendly and sincere smile, he said goodbye and strode out of the classroom.
It was almost noon, and the Eliot Building was already bustling with people.
Groups of students held heavy book-shaped magic devices, chatting and laughing in the corridors. The laughter echoed in the empty corridors, and the aroma from the restaurant on the lower floor of Elliot Building was faintly heard.
Lan Qi walked alone in the corridor beside classroom 4-43, and the echo of his footsteps was swallowed up between the stone walls.
"The students at St. Creation's Monastery really have some unique ideas. Some of them really stopped me."
The sharp questions raised by the students in class just now are still lingering in his mind, and those opinions are worthy of his careful consideration. Sometimes Lanqi has to discuss it with Talia in his mind before making a decision. answer.
Fortunately, Thalia's eight-hundred-year-old knowledge base is not built up. It's really...
So beautiful and so powerful.
Lan Qi was halfway through his thoughts when he felt his heart being grasped by an invisible hand, so he sighed.
"Professor Landry! Please wait!"
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps and a young man's clear shout from behind, interrupting Lan Qi's thoughts in the corridor.
Lan Qi suddenly stopped and looked back, paused his confrontation with the spirit behind him, and returned his attention to the students of St. Creation's Monastery.
A few anxious-looking students quickly caught up with him regardless of their image, their eyes sparkling with a desire for knowledge and admiration for him.
The leading student spoke breathlessly, his excitement barely concealed in his voice.
"Professor, the new energy theory you explained in class today is really amazing, especially your idea of using the principle of oscillation and resonance of living magic to improve energy conversion efficiency. It is simply a genius inspiration! But I still have some ideas about this. Doubts, I wonder if you can see if our idea is feasible.”
As he spoke, he took out pages filled with notes and his own deduction formulas.
"That's right, Professor Landry."
Another young man with blond hair and blue eyes said immediately,
"I think it can not only be developed in the direction of new energy, but also in the direction of humanitarian torture instruments. In the future, the labor reform of criminals can be directly transformed into a one-click sweep. There is no need to worry about them being lazy. It is coercive, efficient, pure, and It can reduce the workload of prison guards and the difficulty of supervision.”
The students spoke to each other excitedly, scrambling to make inferences to Lan Qi, their eyes full of eagerness and enthusiasm for knowledge.
"Why are they like this?"
Thalia asked with confusion in Lanci's mind.
She suddenly recalled that Lan Qi only spent half of the class talking about magic engineering, and the remaining half of the time was talking about ethics, religion, and philosophy.
The more some students in the classroom listen, the more uncomfortable they become.
Only a small number of students with high resistance remained unmoved.
The students chased out in front of me were obviously the ones who had changed the most.
"It's a great idea, let me take a look."
When Lan Qi saw this, he smiled kindly and did not answer Talia first. He was about to answer the students' questions one by one.
He suddenly raised his eyes and saw a familiar figure standing at the corner of the corridor——
It was Nicholas, known as the "Kestrel", the chief of the Domestic Countermeasures Section 1 of the Imperial Special Operations Division.
He was still wearing a neat and neat black military uniform.
The military medal on his chest shone brightly in the sunlight, with his hands behind his back, he stood as straight as a green pine.
Seeing Lan Qi appear, Kestrel Nicholas nodded slightly.
It seems that Professor Landry has been waiting for a long time.
The students looked along Lan Qi's line of sight, and when they saw Nicholas's stern face and the uniform of the Imperial Special Operations Office, they immediately fell silent and said nothing more.
Lan Qi also greeted the officers and looked apologetically at the students beside him.
"I'm very sorry, Alexander, Benjamin, Christopher, Gregory... I suddenly have some urgent matters that need to be dealt with as soon as possible. The questions you raised are indeed very insightful. I will stay in the office to answer questions tomorrow afternoon, every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8 to 812 p.m. I’ll be in office on the th floor of the Great Monastery’s Spert Building. We’ll have a discussion then, okay?”
His tone was sincere but polite, and he called each student's name accurately.
"You are busy first, we will see you tomorrow."
The students nodded immediately, feeling as if their hearts were being filled with something. They thought that Professor Landry, who had just met for two days, would not have any impression of them, but they did not expect that Professor Landry was already so familiar with them, paid attention to them, and even could I could feel the unique sincerity and importance in his eyes.
"See you tomorrow."
As Lan Qi said this, he turned back, took long strides, and walked straight towards Nicholas the Kestrel.
"Professor Landry, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Is it convenient for you to come with me to the headquarters of the Imperial Special Operations Division now? I still need to confirm with you what we discussed earlier."
When Nicholas saw the professor approaching, his tone was as low as ever, and no emotion could be heard.
"Okay, my classes for today are over, and I can go with you now."
Lan Qi's face was calm and relaxed, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he nodded readily in agreement.
"I kept you waiting, Chief Nikolai."
He thanked Nicholas.
"My original job today was also to investigate and record the 4-21 classroom, which was just right."
Nicholas the Kestrel was a little surprised when he saw that Professor Landry had no objection to agreeing to the invitation, but he didn't show it.
