Chapter 597: Lanchi's Trinity Experiment
Chapter 597: Lanchi's Trinity Experiment
After several sessions of treatment, Lanchi and Kaliella finally left the circular enclosed space located in the deepest part of the research institute.
They passed through a long, streamlined corridor and the Hall of Illusions, exiting through the black illusionary door, and returned to the Central Restriction Room.
"I've taken care of the Fourth Progenitor, so the Trinity Experiment can continue."
Lanchi waved to the busy Lady Esmod in the laboratory as he spoke.
Before leaving the Pholant Empire, he had left behind the "Salem Plan" in the empire.
The Trinity Experiment was the core of the "Salem Plan".
"Understood."
Without saying more, Esmod nodded to Lanchi and Kaliella and resumed his busy work.
"By the way, why did you name this experiment Trinity?"
Kaliella asked.
She knew that this project incorporated many demonic engineering principles, including the technology from the Honing Empire's experimental field to transform humans into demons, the forbidden curse seal of the Great Poet, and now with the patient's consent, their modification of the Fourth Progenitor, Eduardo, was proceeding smoothly.
And this bloodline modification experiment was personally named the "Trinity Experiment" by the Nameless Lord.
"It has something to do with a church in the human realm. Have you heard of the secret society, the Holy Rite?"
Lanchi stopped and turned to look at Kaliella inquiringly.
"I've heard of it. I remember the princess participated in this secret society years ago, but it wasn't very large and was crushed by the bloodline several times,"
Kaliella replied after a moment's thought, nodding.
"Recently, there was a new change in leadership within this church, and the doctrine has also been revised. In the new Holy Rite doctrine, one of the core concepts is the Trinity,"
Lanchi continued, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, as if lecturing Kaliella.
"According to the Trinity doctrine, the god worshipped by the Holy Rite Church is a unique existence, but at the same time, it exists in three persons or aspects: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."
"These three persons make up the completeness of God."
The Father represents the creator, sustainer, and ruler of God.
The Son represents the incarnation of God as a human, specifically the current leader of the church.
The Holy Spirit represents the supreme divinity of God, working in the world and revealing Himself.
"The concept of the Trinity emphasizes that these three persons are of the same substance, indivisible, but manifest in different aspects and roles."
"..."
Kaliella listened, her brows furrowing slightly.
"God is not just an abstract concept but a being with depth, beyond the complete understanding of mortals,"
Lanchi explained patiently, a slight smile on his face.
"This is the gap between the finitude of mortals and the infinity of God."
"Perhaps the name 'Trinity' is a warning to us. Mortals, having acquired the power to destroy the world, have become harbingers of death,"
he added.
"After witnessing your persuasion of Eduardo and hearing your words now, I believe it. If you were in the human realm, you'd likely be the leader of a brainwashing cult,"
Kaliella shook her head, muttering to herself.
She felt that while the Nameless Lord was erudite, his knowledge tended to focus on rather peculiar areas.
Kaliella did not rush to leave the Central Restriction Room. Instead, she asked Lanchi to sit on the sofa as she had something to discuss with him.
"The rest can be left to Lady Midnight and Lord Poet," Lanchi said, "and Kaliella no longer needs to personally control the Fourth Progenitor, Eduardo."
With that matter settled, Kaliella could now turn her attention to more important issues with Lanchi.
"I heard you lived in the Pholant Empire for a while?" Kaliella inquired as she sat down across from Lanchi.
There were many rumors about Mackasy in Necaris City, but most of them were largely exaggerated.
Fortunately, Lord Thunder had a close relationship with Lord Nameless, so Kaliella was able to learn some accurate information about Mackasy from him.
"Indeed," Lanchi nodded in confirmation. "Several decades are indeed just a 'while' for demons."
To demons, who lived for hundreds and thousands of years, even a few centuries could still be considered youthful, though they might find themselves past their prime marriageable age.
"..." Kaliella frowned slightly once more.
She always felt that Lord Nameless tended to think about things that were less than polite. Though she couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly he was thinking.
After some thought, she decided not to dwell on it.
"For our demon world's upcoming trip to the Pholant Empire, we need a weighty figure from the demon race, and it would be best if I went as a bodyguard." Kaliella explained her plan to Lanchi.
The Pholant Empire had no ninth-rank humans and thus couldn't directly oppose her, but they certainly wouldn't allow a ninth-rank demon to enter their capital, Helsalalem.
Even within the depths of the capital, Helsalalem, if Kaliella truly wanted to act, there were defensive barriers and ancient treasures that could be used against her, in addition to the Pholant Empire's eighth-rank martial gods. It would not be easy for her to escape unscathed.
However, if the visit was truly just for negotiations, the Pholant Empire would likely only allow her to stay in a border town and arrange for her to meet with important figures of the empire.
The problem with this was that she might not be able to meet the person she wanted to see.
"If my permission to act in the Pholant Empire is limited, then I can only wait for them to come to me, and I will most likely meet with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke Moretti," Kaliella continued.
According to the Pholant Empire's conventions, the first point of contact for communications with the demon world would be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke Moretti, who would then convey the demon world's intentions to the cabinet.
However, it was uncertain if Duke Moretti, as the leader of the conservative party, would act in their favor or obstruct their message to serve his own interests and judgment.
"... " Lanchi remained silent for a moment as he considered the situation.
He seemed to understand what the Fallen Lady was implying—that it would arouse less suspicion and vigilance from the Pholant Empire if she, as a ninth-rank demon, went as a bodyguard rather than as an envoy herself.
"Do you intend to send Lady Sybillian to the Pholant Empire personally?" Lanchi asked.
"At first, yes, but now I think it would be more appropriate for you to go. After all, she is going to marry you, and it wouldn't be in line with our demon world's traditions for the princess to visit a foreign land to meet another man right after her wedding," Kaliella explained, opening her eyes slightly to observe Lanchi's expression, as if gauging his reaction.
Her eyes held a natural allure, which was why she usually kept them closed to avoid affecting her allies.
"... "
"Do you have any concerns?" Kaliella asked softly, not wanting to force him. She sensed that Lanchi's unusual expression suggested he might not feel comfortable going to the Pholant Empire as an envoy.
