Following.

The sunlight shyly pierced through the deep clouds, each beam unleashing golden restraints as it broke through the gloom, faintly reflecting the silhouette of the jumble of pedestrians and monsters on the streets of Herrom on Sunday.

Every window of the buildings on both sides of the street has become a small theater of life, and small magical pets or alchemy creatures gently put their tentacles and tails on the windowsill, curiously peeking into the outside world.

And in this early morning.

Ranchi has left his hotel near the Royal Academy of Magic in Protos.

Walked the path to the Temple of the Knights of Silence.

Tomorrow he will be in the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos for five working days.

Today is the weekend of the last day, and in the morning he needs to go to the Knights of Silence to meet with the Archpriest who gave him the certificate of resurrection of the Silenced Branch, and receive the future work arrangements.

Just as Lan Qi was taking a leisurely walk, the voice of the cat boss sounded in his ears again.

They are one person and one cat in a foreign country, and the cat boss will talk to him all day long.

"Meow, Ranch, you're now the head of the Protestant Church of the Extinction Branch...... You don't really want to see Bishop Asquesan......"

If it really comes to that point, it won't dare follow this kid to the cardinal!

As long as it appears in the field of vision of the incarnation of natural disasters, it has no power to resist, and if you are not careful, you will be gone.

"Don't worry, I've been working on the project seriously and I've never forgotten my original intention."

Ranch said calmly.

"Meow! Why don't you develop more of your career in the Empire? I feel like the Decepticon branch is safer than the Silence branch! ”

Boss Cat thinks he's lying to ghosts.

Who are you looking for to run like this to be an undercover agent in the resurrection church!

It saw that Lanchi had accidentally drunk fake wine and had fun.

Boss Cat had already heard Tata tell him that the kid had made some jokes about his drunkenness in the border city-state of Southern Vantina.

It was worried that Lanch would get deeper and deeper and that he would not be able to turn back, and that it would fully support and encourage him to do whatever he wanted to do in the Empire, as long as he didn't continue to be involved with the Resurrection Church.

"Don't worry, I've cut it clean over there in the Deceptive Branch, the Forerunner is the Pioneer, Rocky is Rocky, and the Imperial Journey will definitely satisfy you."

Ranch turned his head, looked at his shadow, raised his eyelids, and gave Boss Cat a smile.

“…… Meow. ”

Meow meow, trust him again.

The smell of the city was mixed with the peculiar smell of magical potions, and the faint aftertaste of rain.

Ranch walked along the pavement paved with regular rectangular stone slabs.

Every time he crossed a street corner, there were fewer passers-by on the street.

Even the windowsills of the tall buildings have become much deserted.

Then, a detail captures Ranchi's gaze.

Not far ahead, a woman was walking in the direction of the temple, her long hair swaying gently in the breeze, spread on her silver skirt armor, the thin skirt armor had an ancient design, every junction showed the craftsmanship of the craftsman, and the sun shone on her armor, emitting a faint white light, like flowing water.

Ranchi had an impression of the woman in the silver dress.

Their destination was clearly to the Knights of Annihilation.

And this woman named West Germany, she is also one of the reasons for the delay in the final assessment.

However, Lan Qi and her have no intersection, they will become colleagues in the future, and they will know each other sooner or later, so there is no need to take the initiative to say hello.

Lanchi thought so, and as he walked into the next street, he didn't feel any movement on his side at all, and a cold hand had already grabbed his upper arm!

The hand was so powerful that it seemed to crush his bones with ease, but the owner of the hand used his force precisely to make sure it didn't hurt him.

"You ......"

Lan Qi didn't have time to react, because he really didn't feel the hostility, or the opponent's strength was too much stronger than him, and his nerves were not qualified to keep up with the opponent's speed.

The moment he saw the other party's figure clearly, the wind whistled in his ears, all gravity seemed to disappear, the soles of his shoes lost all contact with the ground, and the oppressive feeling of the air made him sure that he was caught by the other party and came to the sky of the imperial capital.

The emerald green light in Lanch's eyes cut through the mist of the imperial capital of Herrom, streaking a clear trail, and the clouds quickly swept by his sides, bringing with it a cold and piercing feeling.

Buildings, streets, vehicles, and people, all of which are blurred in the eyes, and every detail is torn apart by speed, leaving only a chaos of color and light.

In the next second, everything began to accelerate, his eyes were almost blown away by the cold wind, this speeding roller coaster overlooking the city-state looked like a piece of stained glass that had been scattered, and in the deafening sound of the wind, Ranchi's mind was filled with buzzing sounds, and the cold air made it difficult for him to breathe, and every breath seemed to be inhaled from an ice cellar.

His vision was blurry, and his consciousness gradually moved away from him.

However, that hand still grasped him firmly, protecting his whole body balance with the power of magic that was like force, and became his only fulcrum in this high-altitude world.

As his consciousness blurred and he prepared to plunge into the endless darkness, his speed slowed suddenly.

It wasn't until he fell with Lanchi that he was placed firmly on a flat ground, and the strong impact made Lanchi's consciousness recover slightly.

“……！”

He covered his forehead and stabilized his shaking body, only to realize that he was already in a completely different place in just over ten seconds.

It is inside a building with an old and magnificent design.

"If there's a next time, can you please don't bring me over like this?"

Lan Qi put down his palm and shook his head, the feeling of detachment on his body had not completely disappeared.

He had a good heart, and this ten-fold roller coaster didn't stun him.

But he was tied up suddenly, even if the other party seemed to be as gentle as possible, but the gap between their strength and physical fitness was obviously too large, if Lan Qi's rank was lower, I am afraid that he would be unconscious by now.

The figure in the colored skirt that had brought him here ignored him, and walked to her main seat on its own.

In this space, the tall lintels, the delicate carvings, the mysterious objects and ancient paintings hanging on the walls, at first glance look like a private collection, presenting a deep and calm atmosphere, all of which tell Ranchi that it is home to sky-high collections from different regions and eras.

The floors are made of dark brown wood that has been worn out over time, and each board is slightly worn, with different textures and colours, but each has a unique story to tell, as if that is what makes it valuable.

In addition, the entire hall of hundreds of square meters is extraordinarily open, with only the main seat, which seems to be the only throne in this space, and behind it is filled with all kinds of bottles and jars, from amber wine glasses to clear spirits like water, all of which are quietly waiting for the moment of selection.

At this moment, Lan Qi's recovering gaze finally saw the figure that had forcibly brought him here.

Sid.

The outfit has changed.

Her figure was still tall, her long light hair scattered behind her waist, her eyes like stars shining in the night sky, and like violets blooming in spring, and her careerist aura was as strong as that of a queen on the land—she was not content to be in control of what she saw, but to conquer everything she could see.

"Most of the time I don't like to work with others, and some people think that I have a strong personality, like to interfere and provoke others, and I can't cooperate with people, but I just know that I will never let go of anything that is beneficial to me easily."

She introduced herself briefly, her domineering and calm eyes like a clear lake water mirror with a sharp sword that could pierce her opponent's heart.

"What is the purpose of your Excellency's invitation to come here?"

Ranch gave him a brief imperial salute, and he didn't intend to say anything more until he had judged the true identity and intentions of West Germany.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

His own life can be said to be in the hands of the other party, and if the other party has evil intentions, his hope of succeeding in resisting by force is obviously zero.

Sid was silent with her back to Lanch and slowly stepped onto her throne.

When she undresses up, she is an indifferent beauty who doesn't seem to care too much about Ranchi's feelings, only what she wants.

Previously, it was only disguised magic, and even the identity of West Germany was completely faked.

"You probably haven't heard the name Sigrid."

Sid held her chin with one hand and stared at Lanchi, but she obviously admired Lanchi's calmness.

"But there's another name you've surely heard."

I saw that a holy seal on her right thumb was tossed up like a coin.

Leaving a brief silver glow in the air, it fell into her palm again.

Even if it was just a flash, Ranch could see it.

At the center of the seal is the Crown of the Silver Moon, whose light casts a crescent moon as if all enemies would be reduced to pieces, and the stars scattered around the edge of the crown are shattered fragments of weapons, representing the defeat and sad fate of those who resist.

This style of holy seal, he is very familiar with it.

He had seen too much of the Decepticon priests in the Southwest Province.

The only difference is that-

What West Germany is shining with is an incomparably domineering and dazzling orange brilliance!
