"So you need enough strong teammates to get through Blood Moon City. If you can't get through Blood Moon City, you can only try your luck and try to rescue Duke Milaya."
Lan Qi looked at the [Super Remote Communication Program-7] he took out.
Now he has tried his best to climb up in the empire, but he still needs time to ferment and wait for an opportunity before he can start to take power.
There may be people in this organization who are willing to solve the scourge of the empire.
Judging from the level of Landry, the former owner of this sacred communication magic, if he is a scientific researcher or a high-ranking figure in the empire, his rank may only be sixth level, but there may also be guys with quite strong combat effectiveness.
No. 1 is even more unfathomable, able to develop the pink sacred series of [ultra-long-distance communication programs], or at least the provider of its principles.
"No matter what, let's go through the Shadow World first."
Thalia patted his shoulder and comforted him.
Lan Qi must reach at least the seventh level, step into the realm of true transcendence, and undergo a qualitative change in physical and mental strength. Only then can he theoretically be able to withstand Rashaer.
Otherwise, even if Lanqi is immune to Rashal's mental magic, Rashal can kill Lanqi with her using ordinary magic attacks.
"Well, about a week later, mid-October, is the agreed time. I have asked Secretary Naila to apply for me to be a challenger in the Shadow World."
As a professor at St. Creation's Monastery, it was normal for Lan Qi to challenge the shadow world, and he would also get a holiday accordingly.
As long as the time in the Shadow World is not too long, we can catch up with the November Empire plan that Duke Dax said.
"Will we be able to see Xiubao in the Shadow World in a week?"
Thalia murmured, her expression softening.
When she thought of Hyperion, her heart was filled with throbbing. She hadn't seen Hyperion for two months, and Talia felt empty. She didn't know whether Hyperion was doing well or whether she was eating or not. Full, lifted quilt, unhappy.
"She must still be in your room now, listening to ditties and feeding the fox, leaning on the armchair and reading the newspaper."
Lan Qi sat on the seat and raised his hand with a confident smile and said.
Staying in Thalia's room, Lan Qi could already imagine what Hyperion would look like.
Just thinking about Hyperion's assimilation, Lan Qi couldn't help but laugh.
Talia felt that Lan Qi deserved a little bit, but she was too lazy to argue with Lan Qi just because of this level.
"It's a pity that we have to separate from Hyperion after spending the same shadow world together. I miss her."
Her golden eyes lowered, regretfully.
Although she knew that it was inconvenient for her to be tied to Lan Qi's soul and live with Xiubao, she still couldn't help but think about it.
Chapter 734: Hyperion is approaching
The car was traveling on the winding mountain road in the Knox Mountains.
Hyperion looked out the window quietly and found that every time the car was about to reach a dead end, a traffic sign would appear on the side of the road: "Turn ahead" or "Watch out for sharp turn", and after turning each corner, the road ahead would usually be bright and clear.
“The mountain road is winding and the peaks are winding.”
Hyperion, who had changed her outfit, said silently.
The big words at the turn ahead struck her eyes again and again, just like how Lanqi had once knocked on the door of her heart.
It turns out that it wasn't that the road had reached the end, but that it was time to step on the brakes and slow down.
Whenever she felt she was in desperate situation, Lanqi would appear like a hero and tell her that it wasn't the sky that was falling, but a turning point.
"Huprienne, you're thinking about Lanci again, aren't you?"
Antanas on the side suddenly poked Hyperion.
"No, no."
Hyperion came back to her senses and shook her head.
"..."
Antanas smiled helplessly and sighed, and said nothing more.
Everything was clearly written in Hyperion's eyes.
It's just that she is shy by nature and doesn't want to admit it.
Now they have arrived at the border of the Cretan Empire. Except for Hyperion, Florence has done his best to arrange identities for the four great demons so that they can protect her on the way.
It didn't matter at the border, the four of them wanted to keep a low profile and hide themselves so that no one could detect them. Only when they sneaked into a core city like Brillda, they needed to turn all the big demons into magic cards to conceal the overly intensive detection.
Antanas once again followed Hyperion's dazed gaze and looked out the window.
The Cretan Empire south of the Kingdom of Hutton.
In the north lies a city called Glen Waverley, one of the most prosperous cities in the northernmost border.
Whenever autumn comes, this city often shows its unique charm due to its natural scenery and humanities, and tourists flock to it in an endless stream.
The north of Glen Waverley is surrounded by towering mountains that rise into the clouds, like a natural barrier that separates the city-state from the Knox Mountains in the north. The city's upper reaches are built between several intersecting peaks, and most of the buildings are in dark gray or pure white classical style.
Stone arch bridges are built between the peaks, connecting the various buildings into a magnificent whole.
"Hyperion, have you been here?"
Shinora seemed to be able to read Hyperion's eyes, observing her cheeks and asked.
"I came here when I was a kid. You can get it from Nanwantina by boat."
Hyperion nodded.
To the east is the boundless sea, with waves beating against the rocks on the shore, making bursts of roars. During the peak season, merchant ships are always coming and going at the dock, their sails fluttering in the sea breeze, and seagulls circling above the masts, making incessant cries.
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 strict as a fortress.
"I heard that Master Noe's Wilford Chamber of Commerce was originally located in Glen Waverley."
Antanas sighed.
Compared to the city of Glen Waverley, the Kingdom of Hutton seemed a little far away.
The long Knox Mountains between the two countries blocked the communication between the two countries.
Even if a large amount of goods were to be transported from the southern border of the Kingdom of Hutton to the northern border of the Krewe Empire, one had to go around the east and arrive by sea and merchant ships, which undoubtedly increased the cost and difficulty of transportation.
However, it is this isolated geographical location that gives Glen Waverley a unique commercial advantage.
It is like a shining pearl, inlaid in the northern border of the Kremlin Empire.
The Wilford family became rich because of this. Even during the war, their family had a special freight channel, which was said to be left by a mysterious businessman more than ten years ago. He not only invested in the Wilford Chamber of Commerce, but also helped the Wilford Chamber of Commerce establish a route that could secretly travel between the Kingdom of Hutton and the Crane Empire.
The head of the family, Noe Wilford, did not even let Lanqi know this secret, because it was a guarantee for the Chamber of Commerce's benefactor and would not be exposed to anyone other than the head of the family. Apart from Noe, only Hans, the butler left behind by the mysterious businessman, knew about it.
It was not until the Wilford Chamber of Commerce was no longer viable that Butler Hans and Planai mentioned the past in casual conversation.
Shinora, who was sitting on the other side of Hyperion, twitched her eyes when she heard this.
She heard that Lanqi was considered a rich second-generation at the beginning.
After Lanqi's disdainful efforts, he finally succeeded in making the Wilford family almost bankrupt.
"It's okay. Don't worry about the money. I can give him all my money. When the war is over, if the Wilford Chamber of Commerce wants to resume business, the Duke's family will invest in Wilford Company."
Hyperion assured generously.
"Rich woman, please don't abandon us when you become a duchess."
Looking at Hyperion's confident look, Antanas couldn't help but hug her slender arms and looked at her pleadingly.
"Don't forget our two good friends."
Shinola also tilted her head and leaned towards her.
"You can stay as long as you want in the Duke's house."
Hyperion hugged herself left and right embarrassedly.
She always brought Antanas and Sinora back to the Duke's Mansion to play together. Now she feels that she may not be able to get used to living alone in the Duke's Mansion in the future.
As they chatted, the vehicle slowly approached the checkpoint guarded by the Third Division of the Seventh Border Defense Army of the Kremlin Empire.
When the vehicle slowed down and stopped for inspection, the Imperial Army soldiers immediately stepped forward for inspection.
The man in the driver's seat rolled down the window and showed the officer a document with the bright red seal of the "Chaos Chamber of Commerce" in Northwest Nicksassend.
"We are trade representatives of the Northwest Frontier Chamber of Commerce. We are taking inventory of the last trade goods on the east coast and are now preparing to go to the capital to discuss acquisition business with companies there."
He looked polite and his tone was calm and polite.
The soldiers carefully reviewed the documents and then asked several people in the car to get out for inspection.
A comprehensive search of the vehicle followed.
After a while.
"All right, sir?"
Pranay asked respectfully.
"You will have to stay here for 24 hours, re-declare and have your security information re-verified by us and the province before you can pass."
After everything was done, the soldiers took Pranay to a nearby sentry post and gave him some documents to fill out again.
Inside the outpost, a young officer with the rank of captain was reviewing documents.
"No problem, sir."
As Planai agreed, he glanced sharply at the officer who might be a "suitable" candidate and walked towards him.
Just as the captain looked up at Pranay in confusion.
Pranay took out an exquisite cigarette case from his briefcase and handed it to the officer.
"This is a feature of our northwest Nicksassend Territory. If you have been to the northwest, you will definitely be convinced that we are from there."
Pranay lowered his voice and said.
The captain hesitated for a moment, but still took the cigarette box.
The moment he touched the cigarette box, he was sure that the weight was wrong.
Too light.
