Chapter 462 The Duke of Lanci’s Visit

 More than an hour later.

 The hour hand has just turned five o'clock in the afternoon.

There was a heavy rain outside the principal's office in the Redmond Building. Every drop of rain made a loud note on the glass behind Lan Qi. The occasional lightning and thunder made the sky flicker, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness. In chaos.

Dark wooden furniture brings a calm atmosphere to the space. The bronze table lamp stands quietly on the desk, emitting warm and soft light, dispelling the chill of the thunderstorm outside the window.

Ranci was sitting alone in his office, with his back straight and his hands on the documents on the desktop. There was a cup of cold coffee left in his hand.

 His eyes were fixed on the documents on the desktop. Occasionally, he picked up a pen and scratched important parts on the paper or wrote comments on the margins.

 Generally speaking, their school gets off work at five o'clock.

But today is a bit special. According to the appointment, Duke Molotian should be arriving soon. This is why Lan Qi has not left the office to finish today's school work.

 The clock's gears chimed steadily.

Lanchi does not pay attention to time, he is focused and calm, and has nothing to do with the thunderstorms and storms outside. He is just immersed in his academic and administrative work, and everything around him is quiet and orderly because of him.

Until the office door was lightly knocked, the voice of the administrative staff of Hongmond Building came from outside the door:

“Mr. Lodge, Duke Berenhard has arrived.”

 “Please come in.”

Lan Qi raised his head and looked at the door facing him, his voice was calm and powerful.

The door opened slowly, and the school staff were seen standing respectfully at the door. Then, a tall man walked in.

This legendary figure of the Protos Empire is also the most powerful person in the world who holds the original stone tablet. He looks to be about thirty years old.

He was wearing a well-tailored dark coat, with the collar slightly turned up, revealing a hint of elegance. His face had clear lines, his jawline was firm and strong, and his temperament could be seen to be somewhat similar to Cloris's, except that he looked different. Compared to the more casual Crolis, Duke Morodian's eyes seemed to contain a profound thought that was difficult to detect.

"Actually, I have wanted to visit Mr. Rocky McCarthy for a long time. Unfortunately, we are all busy with official duties recently. There have been too many changes in the empire during this time."

Duke Morotian took off his hat, looked at Lanqi and said.

He was more approachable than expected, and did not have much sense of majesty or oppression from the strong. Although it was pouring rain outside, Duke Morotian walked into Ranchi's house with steady steps without a drop of rain on his body. Office, the carpet in the principal's office was not wet.

“Me too, I finally had the pleasure to meet Lord Berenhard today. I understand that this period of time has indeed been very busy and exhausting.”

Lanci put down the pen in his hand and raised his hand to signal the Duke to go to the meeting area on the left side of the office.

 He also stood up and walked over, inviting Duke Molotian to sit down on the sofa.

 Originally speaking, when you meet such a big shot for the first time, or the most powerful person in the world, you will feel somewhat uneasy.

 But Lan Qi was used to getting along with Loren, and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

 After simple greetings, the atmosphere was formal but not stiff. As the administrative staff brought black tea to the two of them on a tray, the administrative staff excused themselves again and closed the door for them.

"Mr. Berenhard came to see me today. Did he encounter anything worrying?"

Lanci smiled slightly at Duke Morotian and observed his face. "nature."

Duke Morotian picked up the tea cup on the sofa, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

“Actually, it has something to do with an associate professor at your school. It has been difficult for me to find him during this period, but I always feel that I have missed him.”

He inadvertently looked at the bookcase in the office, as if noticing a conspicuous book "Chronicles of Jihad", and beside it stood a lush demonic plant. The green leaves looked vibrant under the light. A quaint office adds a completely different color.

“Are you Associate Professor Xi Duo?”

Lanci also followed the Duke's gaze and was roughly sure who Duke Molotian was referring to.

Recent media news has been tracking and following up on the suspected treason of Princess Cloris and the missing associate professor Xiduo. Although this matter cannot yet be determined, it may be due to the influence of the Duke of Berenhard's family. , the charges against Princess Cloris are still very vague, and more public opinion is being directed towards Associate Professor Xi Duo.

It’s just that Lan Qi was not sure whether Duke Morotian already knew about the connection between Xiduo and Crolis.

 “He bewitched my daughter.”

Duke Morotian tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and his tone became more cautious.

 “It’s also my fault to say so.”

Lan Qi lowered his eyebrows, looked away, and apologized.

"No, Principal Lodge must not know about it. After all, my daughter Cloris has always been smart, and sometimes I can't understand her."

Duke Molotian waved his hands casually, as if he thought Lan Qi had misunderstood him. He did not want to blame him for this.

“Associate Professor Xi Duo was able to successfully deceive her. The only one who has a chance to save her is me. It’s a pity that I, as her father, couldn’t find out, let alone Principal Rocky.”

While the two were chatting, in the administrative office on the other side, Pranai crossed his arms and observed the situation in the principal's office with his magic eyes.

With the barrier prepared by Antanas in advance, even Duke Molotian, the strongest man in the Protos Empire, could not detect that in the room not far from the principal's office, there were three eighth-level professors observing the principal's office. .

“Pranay, why are you so silent?”

 Antanas patted Pranay on the shoulder and asked.

 She can also sense the situation in the barrier through her innate magic, but she feels that Pranay is carefully analyzing something at the moment.

 Previously in the principal's office, the new king had given them a general explanation of the situation of the Protos Empire in the past three months, the unrest in the north, and what they would face next.

"The new king is not sure whether Duke Morotian knows that he has been in contact with Chlorisse and Xiduo. There seems to be a hidden temptation in Duke Morotian's words."

Planai finally opened his mouth to explain to Antanas, or he was translating what the new king and Duke Molotian said.

"No, aren't they just chatting? I think the new king is very sincere. He even apologized like tea just now, which made Duke Morotian feel embarrassed."

Antanas rubbed his head in confusion.

Pranai glanced at Antanas and did not argue with her.

There will be a thousand new kings in the eyes of a thousand demons. Is the new king's behavior just now pure or stupid, naive or thoughtful? Each demon will have a different answer, and of course it may also have duality. , the new king possesses all the above attributes at the same time.
