The living room of the Ranchi dormitory.

On this rain-soaked afternoon, the world seems to be covered in a pale blue veil.

The sound of the rain outside was like a soft lullaby, banging on the windows and dripping from the eaves, and the white noise was clear and calm.

On the couch, Talia was leaning against it, and all the troubles of the world had nothing to do with her.

Her eyes fell on the newspaper in her hand, and she was intently reading the story and news of the day in the Hearton newspaper.

Suddenly, the door opened in the hallway, and Ranch walked out with his suitcase.

Talia glanced at Ranchi slightly.

Her figure is particularly elegant in the light, and a soft gray filament is draped over her shoulders, which is quite homely.

"I'm ready, we'll be able to leave later."

Ranch placed the box in the entryway and sat down on the other side of the couch.

"I've been ready for a long time."

Talia said without hesitation.

She had very little luggage, which she had already packed before coming to Ranchi's house.

Although Ranchi said that she could use the workshop where the Great Love Poet used to live, she thought that she would only need to stay at Ranchi's house for a few days, and most of the time she would be able to change back to magic cards to reduce power consumption, and there would be no need to make a room for her.

After all, she wouldn't really stay at Ranchi's house.

"Any news?"

Lanch asked, looking at the cover of the newspaper.

"It seems that the Dimensional Bishop and the Bishop of Destruction are fighting again."

Talia reads what she's watching.

Hearing this, Lanch sat down next to her with a little concern and looked at the contents of the newspaper.

"Toriado finally won once?"

Lanch said in surprise.

Although the newspapers did not explicitly state the victory, the Kingdom Federation's alarm was already searching for the Bishop of Destruction.

The first time was because the Bishop of the Dimension offered a bounty on the Son of Destruction, provoking the Bishop of Destruction to hunt him down, and as a result, he was beaten half to death.

The second time was when the Bishop of the Dimension fled, until he was chased to sea by the Bishop of Destruction, and was forced to let go of the battle again.

Later, the dimensional bishop disappeared in the Southern Continent for more than half a year, and only after recovering from his injuries did he reveal his whereabouts again.

This is probably the third time in recent years that the Bishop of Dimension and the Bishop of Destruction have fought.

"Looking at the analysis of experts in the newspaper, this time it seems that all the elites of the destruction branch have disappeared, the bishop of destruction has lost his intelligence network, and he was plotted by other bishops at a critical moment, and then he was surrounded and suppressed by the kingdom of Auroran and the Church of the goddess of fate, and finally he was seriously injured and intercepted by the bishop of the dimension."

Talia flipped through the newspaper and read.

She didn't have a crush on either bishop.

If they hadn't caused a magical storm when they fought with all their might at sea, Ranch and Hubertarian wouldn't have been shipwrecked.

Cat Boss: "......"

"Bishop of the Dimension, this guy really doesn't talk about martial virtues."

Lanch commented.

Although the dimensional bishop Toliardo is very trustworthy and says that he will give the money, this guy is indeed a strange bishop who does not fight head-on.

"You're not much better than him, okay, meow."

Boss Cat complained.

And why Bishop Ivanos became isolated, it starts with Ranchi again.

If this woman knew about the good things that Ranch had done, the cat boss couldn't imagine what she would become.

"But how can the Destruction Bishop be so terrible, he was conspired to be surrounded and suppressed, and then he was cut off by the Dimensional Bishop, and he can still survive."

Talia felt that if it was herself, she might not be able to escape with a few lives.

But she probably understands the strength of the bishopric level.

If she meets a cardinal, she will definitely run away without saying a word.

Last time, she found that her scalp was numb when she fought with the alchemy beast of the corrupt bishop Famer, and if there was a bishop himself, she really couldn't run away after hesitating for a while.

"Before I went to the Northern Continent, Abbot Loren emphasized to me that as long as I appeared in the cardinal's field of vision, the cardinal would be able to completely control me in just a moment, and only the eighth order could defeat the eighth order, and if you want to fight against the cardinal, you even need to count the eighth order. I didn't really understand it at the time, but then I really understood. ”

Lanch said with relief.

"You know a hammer meow!"

Boss Cat thinks Loren meant to warn Ranch to stay away from the Cardinal, not teach him how to defeat the Cardinal.

"Prison Sang is really strong, you let him put the cassette right, a fight in the whole state, who can withstand his last lock state sealing technique."

Ranch and the Cat boss argued.

Excluding the strange bishops like the dimensional bishops, normal bishops conservatively estimate that they have more than three towers of combat power.

If he could, Ranch really didn't want to fight the Bishop anymore.

"Huh?"

Talia frowned, although she didn't know who the "prison mulberry" was, and she had never heard of the "tower" unit.

But she could vaguely grasp what Lanchi meant.

Killing intent began to rise in the humid air of the summer rainy season.

Suddenly as if he realized something, Lan Qi suddenly stopped talking, gradually picked up the cat boss, and sat up quietly.

Talia shook the newspaper and continued reading.

The living room was quiet for a long time, only the sound of rain outside the window was clear.

"By the way, Tata, my platinum-level identity is undisclosed, except for a few people who know about it, such as Dean Loren and Professor Bolao, only the branch president of the Card Maker Association and several nobles in the Kingdom Senate know about it."

As if remembering something, Ranch said to Talia beside him,

"Therefore, this time our itinerary was arranged a little differently from other platinum examiners, although we also stayed in a high-standard hotel, but it was not booked for us in the official name of the Southern Continent Card Makers Association."

Since Lanqi got the platinum status, he has been kept secret, and even Karen of the Kingdom of Auroran has never found out.

Considering the recent uncertainty of the situation in the southern continent and the concern of Poson about Lanqi's safety, he decided not to disclose Lanqi's identity during this exam.

Have him put on a mask and act as a "Mystic Platinum Card Maker" proctor.

Posen Kingdom will not disclose his personal information unless necessary.

It is not until Ranchi is safely returned to the Hutton Kingdom that the information of the new Platinum Card Maker will be announced according to the normal process.

"So strictly speaking, you're really a tourist meow?"

Boss Cat asked.

"On the surface, this is the case, which is why Professor Borao wants us to keep a low profile on this trip, so as not to be drawn into the chaos that the undercurrents of all parties may have in the Posen Kingdom now."

Ranch admitted.

"You know, I've always kept a low profile, but someone is prone to causing trouble."

Hearing this, Talia sneered.

Ranch was about to retort, but saw Boss Cat looking straight at him.

Like it doesn't question who "someone" Tata is referring to.

Eventually, Ranch swallowed it back.

"A little worried about Hugh Bo Ann."

Talia put down the newspaper and muttered to herself as she looked out the window at the rain and mist.

Especially when the weather is getting cooler.

Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night in the winter to find that Huberian had lifted the quilt or had come out of it, and she had to re-cover it for Hubertion.

"It's okay, Cinora is now with Huberian every day, and Huberian and an Almis teacher have also come to Ecrita."

Since the last time Huber and Sinora went to the Duke's Palace, they seem to have been obsessed with cracking the secret chamber of the Duke's Palace, and it is said that there is a Duke's treasury that even Huber Brian has never seen hidden in it, and the goal of the two of them is to open it.

Ranch was a little worried about Duke Migaya now.

If it's not a treasure inside, the duke may come back and go numb directly.

"O ...... Artmis"

Talia muttered to herself.

She hadn't heard that name in a long time.

Previously, Huber Lian came back from the Northern Continent, and I heard that Huber Lian was taken care of by many ice witches, and it turned out that Almis had now come to the Hutton Kingdom.

"That's right, Huberian thinks it's not bad if Almis is a mother, so Hubertarian can be taken care of when you're away."

Ranch said from the side.

“……”

Talia suddenly became sad.

It was the first time Ranch had seen Talia like this.

"But Hubertarian thinks you are the favorite most, not even Callella."

He added.

"Really?"

Talia looked up at him.

"Of course."

Lanch's helpless smile meant that it was like saying, I can't fool you.

"Believe in it once."

The two chatted for a long time like this.

"Let's go, go to the station a little earlier."

That was until Lanch looked at the clock on the wall and stood up.

Although his tacit understanding with Talia is still in shambles, and it seems impossible to turn [Kaliella's Shadow Weaving] into a magic card, all he needs to know for now is -

Their brand new Posen journey has begun.
