Chapter 354: Ranciere grew bolder with each passing day

ted Lawrence and Lance onto the third-floor corridor.They stepped onto this pathway imbued with the artistry of magic engineering, within the guildhall of cartographers. A profound silence permeated t...Chapter 3: Rancilio was growing more and more reckless each day.

Two people continued walking along the road, gradually disappearing into the shadows at the end of the corridor. Only patches of light were left scattered on the empty road.

Until they reached the ground floor, they walked out of Kinsston City Prison together under the watchful eyes of the guards.

Beyond the fortress walls, made of ironclad grey stone, lies the picturesque town of Kingston.

It is afternoon now, and the sun is high in the sky, radiating a warm light. The sky is a pale blue-white, that clean and bright clarity unique to spring in snowy regions.

After nearly a month away, they returned to this quaint town of Qin's Town. The sense of familiarity and warmth instantly enveloped them, making their steps lighter.

This snowy region, besides the windswept roads, always spends the most time and is the most comfortable resting in Quenton City.

"I think you're really a good principal now."

After thinking for a moment, West Germany said.

He can teach good students like Xia and discipline bad students like Aniele.

"Oh You seem to know a lot."

Lance's eyes lit up.

Of course.

West Germany smiled proudly.

Now they were to return to Lord House in Quintston for a night's rest before continuing south the next day, towards the Box Mountain province, a transportation hub in the northern part of the Protos Empire. Only then could they board the aether-powered rail train and return to Herlohm, the Imperial capital.

Previously, in Quinsston Town, they resided in Lord Leven Quinsston's manor. This time, Lord Quinsston had prepared rooms in the manor for them again.

The two people walked down the street, their eyes occasionally meeting during their conversation.

The cat boss, listening to Lan Chi and Sid chatter away as they always did, couldn't help but feel a pang of worry and raise its head in Sid's arms.

"Next is the blockade line for He Box Shan province, meow. How are you going to bring Xi De back"

It looked at West, then at Lanch, and asked.

He had heard from Lan Qi and Xi De in the inn before that once they reached the Box Mountain Province, no matter what disguise Sigrid took on, the seal masters there would sense the power of the curse mark on her body and immediately find her.

The main high priests of the Extinction Branch are all in the Box Mountain Province, it's not a hurdle that can be forcibly broken through by Ranger with the power of the Tundra Province.

However, now that Sieglinde is completely carefree, she has a feeling of just lounging around and waiting to die like a cat!

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Rance looked at the cat boss and answered calmly,

I'll need to make a card in a little while, then we can leave.

Lord Quinston's mansion had a room suitable for card making, and the tools were complete. After a long time, he wanted to pick up his old profession again.

Regardless of what happens, he needs to take Sigrid back to the imperial city of Helrom as soon as possible.

First, he has a major interview on KIRO Radio. As the headmaster, he can't let down people who have scheduled an interview with him.

Next, the election for Archbishop of Siegried is imminent. As a high-ranking member of the Reborn Church, if she wins, she will become the sole voice of the Reborn Church in the Protos Empire. From then on, control of the Reborn Church within the empire will be held by only the two of them.

Then I want to see your card-making, but would it affect you if someone else is waiting around

West Germany was invigorated.

Since she wasn't busy at the moment and had been curious about Saint's artificer abilities for a while, she figured she might as well take a look.

"No problem, I do need a sense of direction when making cards."

Although the assistant loves poets, he's not worried about this card. It's a piece of cake!

And if there was an older woman watching him, the success rate of making the card would probably increase significantly.

"For that moment just now, did you ever think something impolite"

West Germany raised his head and stared into Lynch's eyes, observing him carefully. Then he asked with disdain:

"Absolutely not, only respect."

Lane replied confidently.

"Really"

The voice of West Germany dragged on.

"I really respect you."

Ranch's eyes looked at her in a way that felt incredibly natural.

"…"

"Well, you've always been like this, whether I was at my peak or now that I'm weak. I guess that makes you consistent, in a way. Here's a chance to avoid losing favor."

West Germany helplessly closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"So what's the point of favorability now"

The more Lance thought about it, the more he felt that his favorability rating wouldn't be much different even if West withdrew from the team.

"Even West Germany would be willing to die with you. Don't you feel moved having such a girl by your side"

West Germany, after a moment of thought, described the scene from that morning on the snow field where they had faced the desolate Holy Child like a little girl telling a fairy tale.

"… "

Lan Qi gazed at Xi De, his desire warring with restraint.

This boss is so incompetent, even drawing pie charts feels like a perfunctory effort.

Seeing Lance's helpless expression, Sid smiled again.

"Keep it up, Saint Son."

West Germany patted Lanchi's back contentedly, a happy look on his face.

Even though she may have lost her power now, she is not at all worried about the future.

As they made their way, the familiar manor gradually came into view.

The imposing building seemed to greet them, and the familiar red brick walls and roof stood out especially prominently.

Before the lord's manor gate, guards in uniform immediately opened the door upon seeing the two of them and offered the most respectful courtesy.

The courtyard scenery remained unchanged, flowers, greenery, and fountains all glistening in the sunlight. Every few steps one could hear the creak of melting ice and snow. The frost on the roofs of the buildings, which had been hard and brittle, became damp and softened, resembling crystal embedded within.

As the two chatted, Meow Boss's brow furrowed. He suddenly realized something odd.

Over the past two months, being alone with Ranchi on the northern continent made her realize that he possessed a terrifying ambition, one he couldn't even perceive himself. Sometimes he was gentle, almost like a wife, with a hint of caring maternal instinct. Coupled with his bizarre talents, it all mixed into a concoction of unparalleled danger.

Tata seemed to resist this poison, always unconsciously keeping a distance from Lance.

Not only can Xuebao remain conscious in this poison, but it can also inhibit its toxicity.

And West Germany had the monstrous quality of being able to drink this poison without limit.

So she not only indulged Rancy but also continually intensified his madness. Rancy, feeling affirmed and supported, grew complacent, viewing West as a female counterpart to himself. "Hey," he thought, "This makes me seem pretty normal."

The more the cat owner thought about it, the more he felt something was strange.

A typical love story between teenagers is about a boy meeting a girl, healing and redeeming each other...

One person compares themselves to a bird flying in the sky, while the other is like a drill encountering an energy source and going straight to hell.

It's strange, so strange... Let me take another look.
