Chapter 177: Father Lanci's Travels, A Joyful Second Bl

ast.Lanche stood at the entrance of the shop, his expression a mix of curiosity and confusion. He looked up at the typical two-story wooden building, its facade bearing a sign that read "Cat Boss Rest...Chapter 178: Lan Qi's Father's Journey of Pleasure, Blooming Twice

The ward had a large, bright glass window on one side, decorated with dark brown wood, giving a feeling of safe and warm.

Lance walked up to the bedside and sat down in the chair beside the bed, smiling at his father.

Staring at Lance's smile, Noah didn't know what to say.

"I've been resting these two days, haven't gone out of the ward much. But I heard you did well academically, so I feel reassured...But..."

Noe couldn't even imagine what kind of trouble Lance could have gotten into, just thinking about the horrified expressions on those three priests.

At that time, I was browsing the newspaper near the open-air screen, my vision flickering in and out. I only glanced at the key images on the newspaper's columns and didn't really read the text before I fainted.

"It's fine, as long as you return safely."

Noah sighed.

Just looking at the photos of that world captured on film, you can tell it was very dangerous.

"I knew you, father, were worried about my studies. But you can rest assured, even though I may not necessarily succeed in academia, I will definitely do my best!"

Lanche vowed to his father.

"Lance, all I hope now is that you can walk the right path, develop steadily and peacefully. I don't expect you to be as stunning as Duke Mygal."

Noe should have been very pleased after hearing what Lance said.

But inexplicably, a strange feeling of unease arose in my heart.

Before, he was afraid that Lanchi wouldn't work hard.

Now he seemed a little worried that Lance was pushing himself too hard, so he patted Lance on the shoulder and advised him.

He also didn't want Lancy to lose himself and go astray because of unattainable goals he set for himself.

Although Noel initially wanted to enroll Lance in the Ecthelion Academy hoping he could learn from the illustrious graduate, Duke Mygaya, that was ultimately just a parent's wishful thinking.

"Lanqi was actually just as talented as Duke Migaya."

Hubley replied with modesty.

Before this, she would never admit that anyone was more talented than her father, until after spending so much time with Lance, she felt that Lance was even harder to evaluate.

"Hubert, don't flatter my boy like that."

Noé shook his head, giving Lance a disdainful look.

He's only good looking, how can he compare to Duke Micah

Does this kid even compare to the unparalleled genius of Duke Myriach, the pride of the Heton Kingdom

Although Noé could tell from Huberlie's words that she was genuinely impressed by Lance.

But Noah was a long-time admirer of Duke Mygaya, and a staunch Mygaya supporter.

Every time he saw news slandering Duke Myriad, he felt particularly angry.

"That's amazing, Lanchi is very talented."

Huberly repeated with certainty.

Although she always enjoyed hearing compliments about Duke Mihayla, she was also a pragmatic person.

Talking about achievements, Duke Mygaya entered the Iktherite Academy Knight Division as top of his class. But what about the Wise Division What rank did he achieve there

Noe pointed at Lance and asked.

He thought this little girl was a bit overconfident.

"First place."

Hubbell said.

"..."

Noah was shocked, staring at Lance,

"Really first"

Lance simply nodded calmly.

Noe's heart was pounding. At first, his expectations for Lance were even as simple as him barely passing the entrance exams to Chainlink Academy and that would be enough.

It feels like I'm dreaming now.

Although Noe could join the Shadow World after just two months of school at Ranch, can we deduce that Ranch's grades aren't bad Is he really first place

You should know that any chief of the academies in Ickert's Academy every year, a future achievement will not be bad!

Noah calmed himself down for a moment.

He finally spoke,

However, Duke Mihayla applied to the Knight's Academy, but what truly amazed everyone was his talent in magical engineering. He was not only proficient in magic and various academic disciplines, but also skilled in alchemy and card making. It can be said that back then, he would have topped the charts for any of the four academies. I presume that after spending so long in the capital city, you must have heard about Duke Mihayla's unprecedented feat of creating three pink sacred cards during the registered card maker exam

Noah is proud of Lance, but the more times like this happen, the more Noah should remind Lance not to be arrogant and complacent, not to let him get too carried away.

Lanche simply smiled and nodded.

>“……”

Huberly looked at Noah in confusion.

But she soon understood.

The registration card maker exam that Ranch participated in was only a few days before entering the world of film.

Only she and Anor Prince, who were resting at the time, along with members of the Card Master Association's Ecrithe branch and high-ranking officials from the Arcane Academy, including Dean Loren, knew about Randal's promotion to Platinum Rank. The news had yet to be made public.

The message circulating within the capital is that Lance has accomplished something epic, but the capital is currently overflowing with exaggerated stories about Principal Lance to the point where people are unsure of their truthfulness.

According to the chairman, Noel fainted shortly after arriving at Ikrithe Academy, so it's normal that he wouldn't know about Lance's registration for the Cardmaster exam.

"Ranch, although he wasn't a jack-of-all-trades, was the kind of person who truly loved what he did and would hone a particular skill to perfection...and his registered card maker exam grade even surpassed that of Duke Mihaya."

Huberli pondered for a moment, worried that Lanche was preparing a big surprise for Noe. Plus, Noe's boasting about Mihaela made her a little embarrassed.

To prevent Lance from causing more trouble, Huberlyan decided to expose him herself.

Noel was stunned for a moment, his brain overloaded with information, feeling like it had crashed.

The last time he had seen Lance in the study, at Nantaina's manor, he had heard Hans, the butler, assure him that Lance had a talent for making magic cards. Lance had also asked him for money claiming it was for "materials and tuition fees for making magic cards".

Noel initially thought Lance was just doing it out of interest, and that he would be happy to do something enjoyable for a while.

How could this kid qualify to take the registration and card making exam after only half a year

and so on.

"Higher"

Noah discovered the beacon, and calculated by his fingers.

>

Marquise de Milay should have been placed in the Gold tier, right

Higher.

Could it be platinum

Noe looked at Lance with disbelief, as if he were seeing a monster.

The butler Hans had told him once that Young Master Lance would surely be able to make some excellent magic cards.

I thought Hans was only maintaining the ranch, but I didn't expect you to be serious, Hans

"Hughberlian, you're not kidding me, are you"

Noah’s lips trembled as he spoke incoherently.

He wasn't quite sure, thinking that Huberlian was joking.

"It hasn't been officially approved yet, but informally it's being called 'near platinum level'."

"Hubert replied accurately."

Noah's eyes were a little dazed, looking at Lance, unable to speak for a long time.

He believes Huberly is an honest and good child who wouldn't lie to him like that.

This feeling is even more unreal than a dream.

Platinum-level card maker, a true big shot.

Noah had never thought that Lance could achieve such success.

"No, I was thinking that your position seemed a bit odd..."

Lanche whispered from the side, he never thought he would one day become a commentator.

Both of them are out with their elbows.

If the Duke of Myriad Galaxies heard his daughter suppress him like this, he would surely be heartbroken.

But Ranch seemed to think Noah hadn't realized that Huberlianne was the Duke of Magia's daughter.

Noé just stood there for a long time.

Finally, a smile of joy spread across his face.

"Well, even so, I still believe there's one thing this boy lacks compared to Duke Miyagya."

He was overwhelmed with joy, not knowing how to process it. As the conversation picked up steam, he seemed to be joking, but also trying to toughen up, and said.

What

Hupperts didn't know how to get Noé to admit truthfully that Rancher was really excellent.

"Can Duke Miyagi marry a demon woman Can Ranchi"

Noah laughed with schadenfreude, and asked.

"Of course!"

Huberly instinctively followed Noel's lead, but her expression quickly shifted.

"Excuse me for a moment."

She immediately averted her gaze awkwardly, pursed her lips and stood up, walking quickly out of the ward with her head down.

"Well, now you can't argue with that, can you"

Noah smiled triumphantly, as if he had just regained a lost battle.

"Father, she is..."

Lance sighed.

He was about to speak, but he was afraid of making his father faint again.

If he blossoms again, that might truly be dangerous. He hesitated, unsure whether or not to speak.

“Who is she Could she possibly be the daughter of Duke Mihga”

Noah was happier, thinking that Lance spoke clumsily.

"Where can you find such a gentle and kind demon I'm usually pretty good at judging people, and I'd rather believe you're a demon than that she has even a drop of demon blood in her."

…"

Lance was rendered speechless by Noah's single statement.

Never mind.

Stick to your own responsibilities and respect your father's fate.

Looking at Lancy's calm and composed demeanor, Noel couldn't help but marvel at how the boy had truly matured and become more stable.

“To those capable, if you have the ability, go marry a demon woman. If she is still as pureblood as Duchess Mihegia, then I shall call you the strongest.”

Noe was still laughing, patted Rance's shoulder and teased him, he was in a particularly good mood now.

The demon clan aren't good people. With Lan Qi's personality, he'd probably get killed before he even started pursuing her.

Entities like the Great Demon Tribe, disasters of that scale, would crush Lance as if he were an ant.

"...."

Ranch shook his head helplessly.

There is only one thing he can't do.

Pureblood demon wives are truly not suitable for marriage. Firstly, the way demons think is completely different from humans. After getting married, if there's an argument, it'll either end in the husband being murdered or the wife suddenly disappearing. A peaceful ending is basically impossible.

If he were to marry a pureblood demon, the only possibility would be that he was forced into it at knifepoint.

But obviously, this situation couldn't happen.

(The End)
