Chapter 275: The Person Sigrid Wants Most
Chapter 275: The Person Sigrid Wants Most
After Lanchi finished listening to Sigrid's words, he bowed his head and looked at Boss Cat.
Boss Cat was also staring at him.
The man and the cat stared at each other in silence, the unspoken tension filling the room.
Boss Cat seemed a bit taken aback.
Was the spread of the doctrine this boy left behind in the Southwest Province a bit too outrageous? It's like an infectious disease!
"Alright, come see me again when you've completed your mission."
Sigrid tapped her fingers on the armrest, signaling that Lanchi could leave.
Having gained a rather satisfactory direct subordinate, she was in a good mood today.
Even if Lanchi's reaction now seemed a bit slow, she wouldn't blame him for it.
However.
Lanchi merely stroked Boss Cat, who had turned into a black statue, and lifted his head to gaze at Sigrid.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Sigrid pursed her thin lips slightly, her eyes narrowing imperceptibly, as if hiding a hint of displeasure.
"Contact the Grand Priest Kane in the Southwest Province."
Lanchi remained unfazed by the dominance of the Tyrant Sect Church, his gaze steady and calm as a deep pool.
"..."
Sigrid sat at the end of her private collection on a stone-carved chair, not questioning Lanchi further. She glanced to the side of the room and gently took out a card.
This translucent card had intricate silver threads along its edges, and at its center was an intricate magic seal that emitted a faint purple light under the soft light.
It was a sixth-rank [Ultra Long-Distance Communication Magic] that Lanchi had seen before when he received Adams at the Academy of Hecate and helped him contact Knight Captain Juliana.
Sigrid flicked her pale fingers lightly, and the card seemed to come to life, drawing an arc in the air and crossing the room before landing precisely on an ancient cabinet on the side of the room. The cabinet stood out from the room's other decorations with its deep bronze color, and upon it rested an ancient-style magical device.
This was a magical terminal capable of ultra-long-distance communication, which, with its help, could be used to contact and transfer calls via the sites set up in various provinces within the Protoss Empire, achieving real-time communication far beyond the reach of any spell.
As the card landed, the magical terminal on the cabinet was activated, emitting a soft blue light like the stars in the night sky, with a bronze-colored microphone hanging by its side.
Sigrid continued to gaze at Lanchi.
Although she disliked small talk and valued efficiency, she wouldn't rush things unnecessarily.
However, her patience wasn't infinite, and if he failed to satisfy her, he should consider the consequences of wasting her time.
Inquiring about the forerunner with the Grand Priest in the Southwest Province was something the Tyrant Sect Church had already done, and she doubted that Lanchi would be able to extract any crucial information through this communication.
The boy was clever, using the bishop's communication terminal to let Kane understand their relationship and clarify his task as a direct subordinate to avoid any lack of cooperation when he arrived in the Southwest Province.
But if that was all he had to offer, she would be disappointed.
She preferred individuals with strength, not those who needed to put on an act of borrowed power.
Lanchi walked up to the cabinet with the little black cat in his arms and picked up the receiver.
Soon, a deep voice came from the other end, an answer from the Church headquarters in the Southwest Province:
"Your Eminence of the Tyrant Sect Church, how may I assist you?"
The other party's attitude was extremely respectful.
"It's me."
Lanchi's voice was indifferent.
"This voice..."
Grand Priest Kane of the Southwest Province was initially startled, then murmured in disbelief, his confusion instantly turning into shock. He took a deep breath, his heart racing.
He wanted to say something but dared not speak out of turn!
"Your Eminence, the Forerunner?"
"Are you with the Tyrant Sect Church?"
Grand Priest Kane finally asked, his voice a mixture of surprise and excitement.
"I am now a partner of the Tyrant Sect, by her side." Lanchi replied, still gazing at Sigrid as he held the receiver with one hand.
With Sigrid's physical prowess as an eighth-rank physical occupation, it was impossible for her not to hear their conversation.
By this point, a frown had formed on her face as she pieced together this sudden turn of events.
Although it was absurd...
It also made sense.
Many things suddenly fell into place.
The way she looked at Lanchi gradually changed, shifting from bewilderment to intense focus.
Sigrid lifted her hand from the armrest, and the receiver floated into her palm.
"Kane, do not tell anyone else about me being the forerunner's person," she said, her voice still cold and commanding.
There was no warning in her tone, as she trusted the loyalty of her followers.
"Yes, yes! I will definitely follow Your Excellency's and the forerunner's great leadership, firmly implementing each of your instructions and every aspect of the church's development..." Grand Priest Kane hurriedly responded.
Standing by the cabinet, Lanchi continued to smile as he gently stroked Boss Cat, who had finally regained some of its wits.
Hearing Grand Priest Kane's voice through the receiver, Boss Cat felt that he was so excited that he was speaking incoherently, as if their shared dream had come true.
It felt like things were about to go wrong!
Lanchi's start in the Tyrant Sect branch had been outrageously impressive, and now, with the test given by the Tyrant Sect Church, he had shown them what true efficiency meant!
Boss Cat did not want to become famous alongside Lanchi on the Northern Continent! After remaining unknown for over a decade on the Southern Continent, Lanchi had only needed a few days in the north to stir up trouble everywhere he went!
After the communication was cut off, Sigrid heaved a sigh and shook her head.
"I misjudged, and for that, I apologize." She raised her hand slightly, and the purple [Resurrection Certificate-Tyrant] that Lanchi had not yet put away returned to the Tyrant Sect Church's possession, crushed to pieces in her grip.
Boss Cat nodded, still feeling a sense of lingering fear.
It seemed that the Tyrant Sect Church had decided to work with this boy as the forerunner, and there was no longer a need for him to be a direct subordinate.
After all, there was no higher position than that.
The next step up would be the level of a saint or a saintess.
The ceremony for a cardinal to accept a saint or saintess was no small matter, and it would bestow upon the individual a prestigious reputation, authority second only to the cardinal within the branch, and a title similar to that of a bishop.
In the Southwestern Province, Boss Cat had heard the resurrected priests mention that the Tyrant Sect had clearly stated that they would not consider accepting a saint, and even if they did, it would only be a saintess. Additionally, her compatibility with Lanchi was terrible, and throughout history, a bishop had never chosen a successor who was completely different from them and lacked any potential for cultivation.
However...
Sigrid descended from her throne and held the Tyrant Sect Church's artifact, imprinting a brand new saintly seal that shone with a dazzling pink light.
[Saint's Certificate-Tyrant]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
[Attribute: Link]
[Rank: 0]
[Effect: Proof of identity as the Tyrant Saint's Son. Only one can be held at most, and it can only be issued by the Tyrant Sect Church's Certificate. If the holder kills a cardinal, it will be upgraded to the Cardinal's Certificate, unlocking the Cardinal's authority and allowing the imprinting of the Tyrant Branch's blue precious-grade Resurrection Certificates and below.]
[Note: Holder, Loki McCassy.]
"You are the perfect Tyrant Saint's Son that I want to see. I've decided that even if I have to change all my rules, I will make you my person." Sigrid presented it to Lanchi, not hiding her high regard for him in the slightest.
