Chapter 235: Loren Believes Lanchi Now Understands the Gravity of the Situation

After Lanchi's response, the office fell silent for a moment, the only sound coming from the ticking hands of the antique wooden clock hanging on the wall.

"..."

After a brief silence, Loren leaned back in his chair, the high-backed executive chair exuding both authority and a sense of warmth.

"Then I shall look forward to it."

Loren said with a smile, directing his words towards Lanchi and Shubellyan.

Even without asking further questions, Loren had a good idea of what Lanchi was planning.

Lanchi wanted to venture further north in search of the strongest member of a different race.

Only such a challenge would be truly stimulating for someone like Lanchi.

It would be a good opportunity for him to gain some much-needed experience. That young man needed a wake-up call.

Though Loren couldn't bring himself to be harsh with him.

However, once he sets foot on the Northern Continent, he won't have that luxury. They won't coddle him there.

"Due to the complex racial dynamics and historical factors unique to the Northern Continent, the conflicts between races run deep. Some races harbor intense hatred towards humans, and some humans feel the same towards other races. Unlike here, where it's mostly prejudice, over there, merely mentioning your race could be enough for someone to try to kill you. So, remember, the Northern Continent is nothing like the Southern Continent."

Loren pulled open a drawer and took out an ancient book with a cover bearing the emblem of the Church of the Goddess of Fate. He handed it to Lanchi, indicating that he expected him to read it during his journey.

"That's not good..."

Lanchi accepted the book and expressed his gratitude to Loren, his lips still murmuring in a soft voice.

"Once you reach the Protoss Empire on the coast of the Northern Continent, try to avoid venturing further north. Locating the [Primal Tablet of Light] or the [Primal Tablet of Undead] would also earn you significant credits, as the holders of those tablets are extremely dangerous figures on the Northern Continent as well."

Loren continued, providing more insights.

Even the Protoss Empire, in Loren's opinion, was a rather sinister nation, but at least it had a sense of order, albeit a harsh one.

"Just how dangerous are they?"

Lanchi asked.

"Using your understanding of the strength of tablet holders... if the Destruction Saintess were to appear within my line of sight, how long would it take for me to capture her?"

Loren chose to answer Lanchi's unspoken question by posing a hypothetical situation.

After all, the strongest opponent Lanchi had faced so far was the Destruction Saintess.

And the Seventh-rank vampire count, whose power had been weakened by more than ten times and who had been ambushed and ganged up on, wasn't a good comparison.

"A few seconds?"

Lanchi ventured a guess after some thought.

In the game, levels beyond 60 were not accessible, so he had no idea about the actual differences in power beyond the Sixth-rank.

The Sixth-ranked Destruction Saintess was practically the ceiling for the younger generation in the Southern Continent.

Even with his and Shubellyan's current abilities, they still wouldn't be able to defeat the Destruction Saintess in a head-on confrontation.

Hearing Lanchi's answer, Loren simply smiled.

He didn't elaborate further on the specifics, but instead, he lifted his fingers lightly from the table.

Instantly, Lanchi and Shubellyan wore expressions of astonishment.

Their bodies were immobilized, not just by some ordinary control, but by an unseen force that seemed to freeze the very air around them! It was a restraint from which they knew they wouldn't be able to break free, even if their strength were suddenly increased tenfold.

And yet, Loren, who was watching them, seemed utterly relaxed, his magical power not even stirring the slightest bit. He clearly hadn't exerted any effort.

"It would be the same even if you were hundreds of meters away."

Loren said nonchalantly.

Then, he released Lanchi and Shubellyan from their paralysis, allowing their stiffened bodies to relax once more.

Although Loren hadn't caused them any pain, they were now certain that if he had wanted to, he could have torn them apart with the wind just by thinking about it.

"I understand now. No wonder they say that only an Eighth-rank can defeat another Eighth-rank..."

Lanchi nodded, his expression solemn.

The difference between the Eighth-rank and the lower ranks was indeed vast.

The Ninth-rank was even more incomprehensible to Lanchi at his current stage.

Based on Loren's demonstration, Lanchi could surmise that if he and Shubellyan were to come into the line of sight of the Destruction Bishop, the latter could end their lives in an instant.

Shubellyan might be able to withstand a few more hits with her shield and invincibility, but it wouldn't make much difference in the end.

Unwilling to discuss their mastery of spells and the tiers of their magic cards, the gap between them was still in the hundreds of fold in terms of basic attributes alone.

Even with their current strength, if they somehow managed to contrive an opportunity to face an eighth-rank vampire marquess in an enclosed terrain, death would still be inevitable.

"Also, Shubellyan, you must not reveal your demonic bloodline while in the Protoss Empire."

Loren knew that Shubellyan currently possessed a transformation spell that could bypass any detection method in the Kingdom of Horton, perfectly disguising her as a human, which was why he offered this reminder.

"Why?"

Shubellyan asked, confused.

Due to the blockage and delay of information, many of the books and intelligence about the Northern Continent that were circulating in the market were actually questionable in terms of authenticity.

Only someone like Loren, who had personally been to the Northern Continent, could be relied upon to provide accurate information.

"In the latest legislation enacted in the Protoss Empire in recent years, disguising one's race is punishable by death, and the punishment is severe as a warning to others. This is because different races and bloodlines are treated very differently in the Protoss Empire, with some being considered far superior to others."

Loren explained.

"What if I reveal myself as a half-demon?"

Shubellyan asked after some thought.

Since the risk of being found out was not zero, perhaps being honest was the best policy.

"In that case, if you can't prove that you're a free person, you might be captured and treated as a demon slave. In the Protoss Empire's class system, demons are considered a sinful race and are placed at the bottom of the hierarchy, with almost no rights."

Loren shook his head.

While half-demons were slightly stronger, they were mostly offspring born to demons who were purchased by nobles and wealthy merchants for their attractive features. In reality, they did not enjoy noble treatment and could only hope for a slightly better life than that of a commoner.

"Is that so?"

Lanchi furrowed his brows.

"Just pretend to be humans, and you shouldn't run into any trouble unless you actively cause trouble."

Loren said seriously, "Of course, you also need to be aware that on the Northern Continent, the dangers aren't limited to tablet holders. Not all tablet holders are stronger than non-holders; some of the strongest individuals simply have more compatible attributes. For them, the fixed five-tier card slots of the Primal Tablets may not be worth the consumption, so even if they have the opportunity to obtain a Primal Tablet, they may choose not to use it themselves or they may not have obtained a suitable tablet. All I can say is that to obtain a tablet, one must not only have strong abilities but also a good deal of luck."

"I understand, Dean Loren," Lanchi replied.

"There are places outside the Royal Capital that I can't protect you. You need to remember that not everywhere is as stable as the Kingdom of Horton. Since you've made enemies with the Church of Resurrection, there may be greedy individuals who will target you for the bounty on your heads. So, be careful and keep your identities hidden."

Loren paused for a moment, his expression solemn as he imparted this advice.

Hearing that Lanchi and Shubellyan intended to travel so far, he was still somewhat surprised.

While he hoped that they would spend more time touring the Northern Continent, he always placed their safety as the top priority.

"You can delay your return by up to two months. If you exceed this deadline, you risk being expelled."

After affixing three different official seals, Loren returned the documents to them.

Including the three and a half months of vacation, they would have a total of five and a half months, which should be more than enough time to visit the Northern Continent.

With the current turmoil in the Southern Continent, the balance that had been maintained for many years among the dozens of large and small nations might be gradually breaking down. Loren also hoped that in recent years, the Kingdom of Horton would produce pillar-like strong individuals once again.

With the vast world before them, it was a perfect opportunity for Lanchi and Shubellyan to gain new experiences and catalyze their growth into stronger individuals.

After all, they had already survived the 'Hell Corridor Academy' and the 'Saint Evil Banquet', two shadow worlds that seemed deadly for newcomers. Loren didn't have much to worry about when it came to them.

As long as they didn't actively seek death, with their talents, they were already considered outstanding young powerhouses.

Having given them so many instructions, Loren believed that Lanchi, with his intelligence, would not have any foolish thoughts of recklessness.
