Six days later.

On the west side of Demon King's City, in the magnificent manor of McCarthy on Leth Island, when the sky is still a deep blue, Ranch begins his new day.

On the top floor of the mansion, his bedroom, a richly decorated and elegantly furnished room, in addition to the sound of the waves outside the window, there was also the childish voice of the bedside cat owner.

"Today is your twenty-eighth day in this shadow world."

"The news from the front of the neighboring Kingdom of Bliss and the Turant Empire is not optimistic."

"And the only thing you can do as a little Lanqi is to exert your attraction and complete your mission in the Demon Realm."

Boss Cat started today's broadcast again.

"Okay, boss cat, I got it."

Ranch tapped Cat Boss's head and walked down the carpet, through the spacious bedroom, to the closet by the entrance.

I carefully selected my outfits.

In the end, he chose a dark gray Protos-style suit with a tie embroidered with silver patterns, which was perfectly cut to look formal and solemn.

"Hats off to the legendary sealer Asquesan, this dark gray coat is really nice."

In the mirror, Lanchi's face was slightly smiling, and his eyes shone with determination and longing for today's goal.

"Meow, he probably doesn't want to be saluted by you."

The cat boss jumped at Lanchi's feet and looked at him, only to think that Lanchi's glow demon posture and Asquesan's style of dressing were really a bit of a cardinal.

It's a pity that Ranch is still too far from a true cardinal-level figure.

"He's fine."

Lanch commented.

“……”

Boss Cat doesn't want to take Lanch's word anymore.

It only cared about their scoreboard again, poking it every now and then.

[People's heart: 276→565/1000 (popular support and cohesion)]

[House: 227→176/1000 (support rating of the top brass within the Pyrant Empire)]

[Military: 124→182/1000 (based on the Honin Empire)]

[Treasure: 236→323/1000 (Current Productivity of the Empire)]

[Diplomacy: 115→232/1000 (Diplomatic relations with the Demon Realm and the surrounding countries that have not yet surrendered)]

【Overall odds: 0.0013%】

Boss Cat now has to stare at it several times a day, for fear of falling.

Thanks to Lanch's tireless efforts, the odds are finally numbered.

But it was still so far from 1% that it was hopeless.

Since Lanchi left the Alien Empire, the [people's heart] is still rising, and the rate is getting faster and faster.

And the [House] item is still slowly falling.

Probably because of the extreme success of the orc city-states' diplomacy, each city-state added about 20 [Diplomacy].

At the same time, it seems that because of the alliance formed by diplomacy, the alliance's [military power] and [finance] have been improved.

Since Lan Qi himself has not yet revealed in the Demon Realm that he belongs to the Alien Empire and the anti-blood forces, the veins he has obtained in the Demon Realm have not been settled in the [Diplomacy].

Twenty-eight days have passed in a total of forty-five days in the Shadow World, and this progress has made the cat boss worried.

Success or failure can be said to be today!

"Lan Qi Meow, you must rescue Hugh Bao!"

The little black cat admonished.

Today's royal ceremony will be about Huberian's freedom.

In addition to the great demon clan of the demon world today who will compete for the marriage contract of the royal family, the tenth ancestor of the blood clan, the Marquis of Ulises, also wants to intervene and want to marry the only remaining royal family of the demon clan.

The ceremony does not need to be painted on the spot, the time and play of painting on the spot are unpredictable, and the falling Qing wants the big demons to choose their favorite field paintings, and they can hand in the paintings before the ceremony finalizes the string tone, and submit the paintings to the sealed golden cabinet on the first floor of the palace regency, and in today's ceremony, she will be opened by the falling Qing and fair, so that the princess can openly choose her favorite paintings.

Now it can be said that the string tone has been finalized, and only waiting for the results of a ceremony to be revealed, the ceremony will usher in the end.

When the princess looked at the painting, she did not know who made it.

It was a blind audition.

At that time, it is natural for the Fallen Qing to determine who the magic on the painting belongs to, and determine the time when the painting will be completed according to the nature of the magic.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best this time."

Lanchi picked up the little black cat on the ground and said to it with confidence.

"Meow meow."

Boss Cat knew that Lan Qi had locked himself in his room most of the week, except for the necessary meetings with the powerful of the Demon Realm.

But it didn't see what Ranch had drawn.

After the painting was finished, he sealed it up, and with the help and guidance of the ministers with whom he had close personal relations, he sent it directly to the sealed gold cabinet in the regency hall on the first floor of the palace.

According to him, he wanted Huberian to be the first to see.

Although the cat boss has seen Lanqi's paintings, it was taken away by Lanqi before it was carefully identified in the Northern Continent, and it ran away in the Southern Continent without daring to identify it, this time it wants to take a good look at what grade the artwork created by Lanqi is.

If it is a work of art, it is full of confidence in Lan Qi, the evil boy, as long as the Great Demon Clan and the Tenth Ancestor do not make a sacred-level art work in such a short construction period, it believes that Lan Qi will win!

One man and one cat walked downstairs, and in the huge dining room, breakfast was ready for the McCarthy Palace restaurant.

Ranch sat down at the floor-to-glass dining table, contemplating his upcoming agenda, his gaze occasionally peering through the window at the eclipse of the deep purple sky and the dull sea.

Today, due to the visit of the ancestor of the blood clan, the Demon King City of Nekaris also opened the enchantment canopy.

Of course, the main venue for the royal ceremonies was held in the palace of Nekalis, and for the blood clan, even during the day, there was no difference in the sturdy room, let alone the Demon Palace with a protective enchantment.

It didn't take long for Ranch to finish his breakfast, he put down his dishes, wiped the corners of his mouth with a square towel, straightened his tie, and stood up to take the coat that the butler had handed him.

Outside the window, the path of the sun was obscured by the blood moon, and the light on the eastern horizon became hazy, and the entire Demon King City seemed to fall into twilight.

Just as Ranch walked to the door of the palace lobby and was about to push the door to leave, he heard a small footstep behind him, and Ranch turned around.

I saw a sleepy-eyed Seagrid running over with a nightcap and wanting to see him off.

"Rocky, have a nice trip."

She rubbed her eyes and shook her little hands.

Sigrid has turned into a demon using a card-like mysterious magic item handed to her by Lankey.

It looks like a pure wolf demon.

"I'm sorry to help you take care of the house."

Ranch said to her.

Sigrid was silent for a moment.

"I feel like it's dangerous today...... Two terrifying bloodlines have come to the Demon King Capital...... You have to be careful. ”

Sigrid's sleepiness faded, and her eyes visibly became a little uncomfortable and worried, and although she didn't want to crumple Ranchi's ironed coat, she gently tugged at the corner of his coat.

The cunning blood clan is often not as simple as a simple trip.

They have an infinite amount of capital to gamble on to fill their never-satisfying pride and desires.

She remembered that last time, on an uneventful and comfortable day, she said goodbye to her father early in the morning, and she thought that he would come back early, bring her back gifts, play with her, and tell her stories.

And that was the last time she saw her father.

"I see, thank you."

Ranch crouched down and looked at her as he spoke.

"Come back early."

She nodded.

Ranch smiled at her, waved goodbye to her, and walked out of the mansion.

There is still one chapter left to finish, so strive for it before twelve o'clock

(End of chapter)
