In the imperial capital of Herrom, the northernmost part of the Royal Academy of Magic and Magic of Protos, stands the Red Mondstadt Administration Building.

The windows are lightly covered with an almost transparent film of leaves, through which the morning sun shines softly and warmly like golden threads.

The whole office is filled with the fragrance of spring flowers wafting from the window, which is the gift of time and nature.

At this moment, the room seemed much more empty than before.

Many of the shelves were emptied of many documents, like an office where the owner was about to move out.

Ranch sat alone in his spacious office, staring at the Protos books.

The conscientious principal is rarely seen in the laid-back way he spends time in the office.

More than ten days have passed since the election of Bishop Protos, which caused great unrest.

These few days will also be his last days in the Protos Empire.

"Hello."

With a slight knock, the door slowly opened, and a scent poured in.

Dressed in a neat Protos-style suit and holding a tray in his hand, Planai gracefully walked into Ranch's office.

"Helrom's linden flower tea, please use it."

He gently placed the teacup with a classic pattern in the right place in Lanchi's hand.

Ranch closed the heavy tome in his hand, placed it on his desk, and raised his teacup to savor.

It seems that a little honey, salt and lemon juice are added to the linden flower tea, which does not bring sourness, but only leaves a fresh taste, which is just in line with his state of mind at the moment.

"Pranai, thank you, obviously we will leave in two days, and I still trouble you to accompany me."

Ranch replied softly, a relaxed expression on his face, and leaned back in his office chair.

The three Great Demons have also had less work recently, and only one of the Great Demons needs to be the principal's secretary at the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos every day, and the other two can freely play the imperial capital of Herrom.

In a few days, Ranch will be taking them out of the Northern Continent, so in their opinion, this is a rare Northern Continent vacation.

If it was the Guardian Antanas who accompanied Lanchi, he would have been chatting with him all the time, as if he had a sparrow by his side.

Synora the Breaker, on the other hand, will be fairly quiet, but extremely reserved, and the sudden call of her name may scare her into taking two steps back.

Only Pranais the Truth is the most natural, both in terms of work ability and etiquette, it is impeccable.

The person in charge of being the secretary today happens to be Pranai.

"Nope."

Planai shook his head,

"No matter how long I'll be with you, I'd love to."

There was a slight smile on his handsome face.

That's how the smile of the demon is often done.

I can't tell if it's a real smile or a fake smile.

But no matter what, it's more comfortable to get along with a demon who can laugh than with a demon who never laughs.

"King, who do you remember?"

Pranay asked as he observed Lanchi's satisfied expression as he sipped his tea.

"Guess what."

Ranch was idle today anyway.

"Talia?"

Pranay replied.

“……？”

Lanchi was stunned, he didn't know why Pranay guessed correctly, and looked up at Pranais.

"You might think that there should only be three women, but the expressions on the three are different, and if there is a hint of mockery in the smile, it can't be the second princess you respect the most, and secondly, it's not Miss Sigrid, it's probably Talya."

Pranay explained for Ranchi.

In fact, he found that if his inference was correct, then the frequency of Wang remembering Talia was really high, and he thought about Talia once or even several times almost every day.

Although it may not be love, it always feels like Wang and Talia are like a pair of enemies.

The only thing that worries Pranay is that, according to Talia's temper, Wang may be a little dangerous like this, and sooner or later she will understand what Wang is thinking.

But it should be fine.

Wang is very strong and is unlikely to play with accidents.

Pranay couldn't imagine the scene where Talia and Wang exploded together.

“……”

Lan Qi drank flower tea and was silent.

He didn't think that Pranay could deduce this.

Ranch quickly adjusted his thoughts, decided to think of something pleasant, coughed lightly twice, and asked Pranay:

"Who do you guess I'm thinking about right now?"

"Miss Sigrid?"

Pranay thought for a moment and asked.

"How did you deduce that?"

Ranchi looked at the glass of the bookcase, looking at his own expression in the reflection, not understanding what was the flaw.

"It's actually obvious this time, but there's no need to reason because you're smiling naturally."

Pranay replied with a smile.

Sometimes people's smiles are not noticeable by themselves.

It's just that Pranai hadn't thought that Wang would also show such an expression that looks like a human.

"Is that so?"

Ranch continued to sip his tea.

Pranay did guess correctly both times.

Of course, it's also possible that Talia and Sigrid are too obvious in comparison.

No matter what Sigrid thinks, she is a woman who will be extremely popular.

Ranch hadn't seen Sigrid in over a week.

The day of the bishop's vote ended with the defeat of Duke Morodyen.

Several powerful men worked together to intercept and kill Duke Morody.

Although the pursuit of Duke Morotien that day brought some damage to the city, it was smaller than expected.

Duke Morotian didn't want to give the Protos Empire any chance to capture him.

Correspondingly, if he had to try to forcibly capture Duke Morotyan, an eighth-order supreme powerhouse with the primordial stone slab, put aside the unpredictable success rate, and drag the battle line long, Helrom would probably be gone.

After Duke Morodian's death, Sigrid assisted the Protos Imperial military in initiating a series of urgent northern investigations at the request of the Grand Sage Isis.

In addition, Sigrid has become a true partner of the Protos Empire as a tyrant Catholic, and the future affairs are even more busy.

The last time Ranch saw her was on the afternoon of the episcopal vote, when she approached Ranchi and asked her to wait for her, and then left with Isis, the Great Sage.

And then for a while.

The news of the Protos Empire is flying all over the sky.

But at this time of the limelight, Ranch refused all interviews, and expressed his attitude that he wanted to gradually fade himself on the stage of Herrome.

So he resumed his daily job at the Royal Academy of Magic in Protos.

However, the great priest Loren became the object of people's praise of merit......

Even the Helmrom radio company appeared in the voting session for the Bishop of Protos, and Loren, the archpriest who broke in, became the only person to rate hundreds of thousands of citizens and received a 10 rating, and many began to describe him as the reincarnation of the Holy Emperor of Benevolence.

Lanch remembered that Loren admired the ancient emperor as well, and he would be happy to hear someone describe him like that.

At present, the Protos Empire still chooses to cooperate deeply with the Resurrection Church, or more accurately, with the Overlord Branch.

But this country has also strangely become not exclusive to the Church of the Goddess of Fate, and everyone from the people to the powerful have the highest respect for the priests of the Church of the Goddess of Fate.

"You don't seem to have any work today?"

Pranay saw that Ranch had finished his tea, and poured him another cup.

"Yes, the work that needs to be done is basically done, and we can prepare our trip back to the Southern Continent."

Ranch took the teacup and put it in his hand, thanked him and replied,

"After returning to the Southern Continent, your main job is to protect Hubertian who lives in Boss Cat's restaurant, for example, if you see someone coming to the restaurant to make trouble, you can help stop it, of course, eating overlord meals is absolutely not allowed."

There was a time before when a killer chased after Boss Cat's restaurant, and was stopped by Talia.

Both the Bloodlines and the Resurrection Church in the Southern Continent seem to have a reason to kill Huberian, and her death omen will only grow stronger each time.

Although she took her to the Northern Continent for half a year, she may have avoided one or two death crises for the time being.

But the backlog of Death Omen will not disappear, it will only hit in one go.

Ranch still didn't feel at ease after thinking about it.

In the future, there are four big demons in the Cat Boss's restaurant, which should be able to protect Huber Ann.

and to give her a sense of home.

Huberian had already taken the Magic Rail back to Milford Territory in the Northwest Province a few days ago.

Before returning to the Southern Continent, she will first go to Gedaria, the royal capital of the Ethertelan Kingdom, to report the process and results of this mission to her teacher, the Ice Witch, and then the Church of the Goddess of Fate will arrange a return route for her.

Even if Antanas was not able to bring it back to the Kingdom of Ethelan, correspondingly, the Protos Empire now has no tendency to go to war, and the two giant kingdoms on the southern coast of the North Continent are preparing for peace talks.

In about a week, Huberian would sail from the borders of the Ethertelan kingdom to the southern shores of the Protos Empire.

And Lan Qi will also take the cat boss and the big demons to meet with Hubertian at the appointed time, and take a boat back to the Southern Continent together.

It seems like a little bit of time......

Ranch looked at the calendar and thought.

By the time he and Hubrian returned, the semester at Ixerita House would probably be over.

When Dean Loren approved the stamping of the project, he said that the two of them could delay their return for a maximum of two months, and if they exceeded this time limit, they would be at risk of being withdrawn from the university.

The two-month extension time, plus the three-and-a-half-month vacation, makes a total of five and a half months of project permits, which is normally enough to go to the Northern Continent for a search.

Actually counting the round-trip journey, they expect it to take more than half a year.

However, he and Hubertian have slightly overfulfilled the task this time, and Dean Loren should be able to understand.

"Got it, the restaurant's security, you can reassure the restaurant owner."

Pranay saluted and responded.

"Anyway, will there be a day when the seven big demons will gather in the Cat Boss Restaurant, this is more than half of it."

Lanch held his chin and couldn't help but think.

It is said that there were a total of seven great demons who survived the Demon Realm back then, and now four of them are living a comfortable life.

If he could, Ranch would like to get all of Taria's friends back.

She'll be happy.

"First of all, it is unlikely that the Ice and Snow Armis will come to a cafeteria next to a school, that guy is already the Chosen Saint of the Goddess of Fate Church, she should not be idle enough to put down her official duties and make a special trip to the Southern Continent for a tour."

Planai shook his head,

"As for the remaining two Great Demons, there are no clues at all."

"Who is the last Great Demon Clan?"

Lan Qi asked thoughtfully, taking a sip of tea.

The Ice Witch says that she herself is an anti-war, that Talia and her sister Evatia are a war-resistant, and that in addition to the three conservatives in the Imperial Prison, there is also a Lord's Surrender.

"He was the weakest general of the year, mainly responsible for intelligence work in the rear, although his relationship with us is not bad, but his body is unknown, no demon has seen his true face, and even his name may be fake."

Pranay seemed to have a headache just thinking about that demon.

"Then isn't he the strongest of all the Great Demon Clans who survived?"

Lanch was surprised.

It's a general, not a civil servant.

"If Princess Evatia doesn't mess up, she may be better than him, the second princess is very talented, but if you want her to study or work, it will be more uncomfortable than killing her."

Pranay sighed.

“……”

Ranch thought it was cruel.

The second princess is not interested, and the eldest princess is not talented.

But it doesn't matter!

Celestia still has merit.

Her appetite is good, which means that she is healthy and will definitely live a long life, some time ago I inquired with Antanas about Taria's real age, and found that her eight-hundredth birthday is approaching, and she must be celebrated at that time.

“……”

Pranay was about to say something, but he forgot about it.
