Judging from his attire, he should be the Chief Justice of the Holy Court.
He is a clergyman in his forties. His face is weathered by time, but his eyes are bright and lively.
He was dressed in a black robe and wore the silver scale emblem of the Holy Tribunal on his chest.
A few strands of long hair hung down from under the crown, adding a touch of elegance.
Lanqi had seen him before in the Polant Empire.
When Lanci was still the Prime Minister, this young man was his secretary and also his most trusted confidant at that time. Even the contact with Sigler to be the coachman and the disguise of his identity were arranged by his secretary. Now, twelve years have passed, and Lanci is not surprised that the other party can enter the throne room in the deepest part of the Pope's Hall to continue to help him.
"Elm, how have you been lately?"
Lanqi didn't rush to ask him what he wanted to see her for, but asked with concern.
"..."
Elm was slightly stunned.
He didn't know what was wrong with the Pope today, why he suddenly asked him like this.
It was just like many years ago when the two of them were still in the Capitol of the Polant Empire.
Then a trace of sadness flashed across Elm's eyes.
There is only one possible reason why the Pope could have such a change.
"My Lord, is your time coming soon?"
He asked in a dry voice.
"……may be."
Lanqi hesitated for a moment and admitted it.
Elm obviously also knew Lancross's secret.
In today's St. Paul's Church, people should have no idea that the Pope is a dying man.
According to the hint from the Shadow World, if Lancros didn't have any special obsessions, he could probably live for another twenty days or so.
Next, Lanclos will fall into heaven in this peaceful dream.
"Well, birth and death are the natural laws of life. The same is true for the coming of day and the passing of night. There is nothing to be sad about."
Lanqi smiled at his trusted priest Elm.
This is his view on life and death.
Although the words that Miss Witch said to Lancross in Shadow Weaving Record were quoted here, he unexpectedly agreed with Miss Witch's idea.
"His Majesty."
Elm bowed and spoke in a low and solemn tone.
"I just received a secret letter in the Holy Court. Its origin is unknown, but the texture of the letter and the magical fluctuations are very special. I think it is for you."
As he spoke, Elm took out an ink-blue envelope from inside his robe and presented it with both hands.
"letter?"
Lanqi took the envelope and immediately felt a strange fluctuation.
He was indeed expecting a letter.
According to the description in the shadow world, Kaliela gave him a letter.
The surface of the envelope shone with a sea-blue sheen, like the ripples of the deep sea, reminding him of the boundless blue sea of Naikalis Island.
Faintly, there were whispers lingering in my ears, like the song of the waves in the demon world.
This magic.
It was undoubtedly Kaliera.
But now, after the war, the Holy Spirit Kingdom has been clearly separated from the Demon Realm.
On the one hand, it is to reassure other countries. On the other hand, there is an irreconcilable cultural gap between humans and demons, and most ordinary humans are afraid of demons.
The demarcation between the Holy Spirit Kingdom and the Demon Realm is the choice of both sides and is also an inevitable trend.
"Can you ascertain the identity of the sender?"
Lanci frowned and looked up to ask Chief Justice Elm.
"Your Majesty, after much investigation by the Holy Court, we are still unable to identify the sender."
Elm shook his head, his tone solemn.
"Okay, that's no problem."
Lanqi nodded and replied.
He remembered that Kaliela once said that she had placed spies in the Polant Empire to monitor Prime Minister Wilford.
So it is not surprising that she now has the means to send the letter through her spies to Wilford's confidants and then to the Pope.
"Your Majesty, a month later, at the Iron Fortress headquarters in Oberon, Seville's fourth anniversary of peace and restoration was sent to you. I hope you can attend and witness the post-war reconstruction of the border of the Horning Empire."
Elm spoke about the second incident for the Pope and handed him a file.
"..."
Lanqi glanced at the stone map that had transformed into the entire wall, took the file and opened it.
Three years ago, when the Polant Empire and the Honing Empire signed the "Oberon Treaty", it was at the southern border of the Saint Polant Empire.
Hundreds of kilometers away, all the city defense barriers on the northern border of the Honing Empire were taken over by the Holy Spirit Church. This was the clause required of the Honing Empire as the defeated party.
The files mostly consisted of reports, including arrangements for celebration activities, the latest situation on the border between the two countries, and plans for the next two years.
Everything is thriving and moving in a good direction.
"I see."
He gave Elm his answer.
This movie world only lasts 21 days, so what happens a month later has nothing to do with him.
In fact, no matter how you answer, it will not affect the outcome.
He can come anytime.
“Is it possible to achieve such a happy ending in history?”
Talia asked in Lanqi's mind.
She was almost certain that there was no place for her in this perfect shadow world.
The dossier also mentions the current status of the post-war reconstruction of the Khoning Empire.
The sinful vampires have been judged and will be punished with a long prison term.
The remaining vampires chose to coexist with humans. They carved out a piece of land belonging to the vampires on the border of the Honing capital, Trick, and signed a contract to never interfere with human politics again. The vampires also began to use their magical skills to help humans develop.
The peace is as beautiful as a dream, just like the land of fallen gentleness.
If Lanclos in the real historical timeline could see this miraculous victory at the end of his life, he would probably close his eyes without regrets.
"After all, no one knows how this era tens of thousands of years ago ended. Even if it is called the Blood Moon Destroying the World, there must be enough possibilities."
Lanqi thought back.
The history that can be traced in the present world is at most a few thousand years.
What lies beyond this are only uncertain inferences by historians and archaeologists.
The blood moon that destroyed the world is a lost history that dates back at least tens of thousands of years.
The only ones who know the answer are probably the top-level vampires who were sealed for ten thousand years before finally breaking free.
"Thank you for your hard work, Elm."
Lanqi waved his hand, signaling Elm to retreat.
"My lord, if you need anything, please call me anytime."
Lord Justice Elm bowed, spoke with extra emphasis, and quietly left the throne room.
The door closed again, and only Lanqi and the mysterious letter from Kaliela were left in the hall.
Lanqi walked slowly towards the throne. The setting sun shone through the stained glass windows, slowly fading from his white body and blending into the shadows.
After sitting down.
Lanqi stared at the envelope in his hand. The azure ripples looked particularly seductive under the pure light of the throne room.
He was relieved, just as Talia had said.
He was quite worried that the shadow world would have a kind of regression force - in the worst case scenario, facing enemies who were much stronger than him, the changes he had achieved before would be nothing, or by the final fourth shadow world, the advantages accumulated in the first three shadow worlds would be just a spark of fireflies, and these twelve years had made everything begin to return to the right track of history.
Now it seems that the worst-case scenario did not happen!
Although this timeline is as beautiful as a dream.
But everything he saw and touched was extremely real, and it was by no means the illusion created by the fallen land of gentleness. Lanqi was very clear about this.
Having walked one hundred and thirty-one steps in the Great Demon Trial, he can distinguish between reality and illusion more accurately than any other creature in the world.
People who are bound by the cage of dreams will not realize that they may be dreaming, nor will they maintain a clear suspicion like him at all times.
At least the Fallen Lord Kaliela is still alive and well.
With the protection and control of his strongest ally, the iron-fisted ruler Kaliela, the demon world must still be the same as he left it in the last shadow world.
Based on this, it can be inferred that the timeline he is in now is very different from the timeline that Lanclos was in in history.
"Alas, Lord Black Sun Lanklos has definitely never seen a wonderful world line where vampires and humans live in peace."
Talia sighed.
After she watched the sealed images in "The Shadow Weaving Records of Kaliera", she had always felt sympathy for their ancient compatriot.
"Lanqi, you are not planning to go to the south to catch vampires, are you?"
Talia inquired.
Theoretically, if they head directly south, it is possible that they can reach the heartland of the southern Horning Empire in 21 days and release his [Nuclear Fusion Wolf], which will definitely cause quite a stir.
