Don't Confiscate My Citizenship Chapter 785

Chapter 785 Lan Qi returns to the Horning Empire

[Warning from the Hanged Lord Tiberius—]

[Every time you make a choice, you will get the staged deduction results of the upside-down future fantasy and jump to a new timeline. 】

[Personal intervention can only be used once per round to activate the upside-down future illusion. It requires a huge amount of energy to maintain an illusion that is closer to reality and conduct more complex future divination deductions. 】

[After using the personal intervention option, you may personally experience the illusion of death and pain, which will cause a great mental burden, so use it with caution. 】

Red fonts flashed in Lan Qi's field of vision.

"This magic weapon is a bit interesting."

He leaned back relaxedly, crossed his fingers with his hands, and leaned back on the office chair.

Sitting in the office, he felt strangely at ease.

At present, it seems that the illusion created by the Mirror of Tiberius is similar to the shadow world.

It's just that the Shadow World projects past history, while the Mirror of Tiberius projects the future.

While the Shadow World takes a long time to experience personally, the Mirror of Tiberius only requires a quick simulation to get the results.

"That is to say, once you select an option, you may fast forward to a few hours or even a day or two later? And then also quickly move to the next scene?"

Thalia asked in his mind.

Even in the illusion space inside the Mirror of Tiberius, Thalia still came with him.

Who told their souls to be connected?

But just like Lan Qi was unable to use his original power at this moment and completely turned into the Black Sun Qing, Talia, Lan Qi's life card, could not show up and could only speak in Lan Qi's mind.

"I think so."

Lan Qi paused and replied.

He was a little surprised that Thalia was still there.

But when I think about being trapped in an illusion of another time and space, with a close friend accompanying me, it's not bad at all.

"Now you know how to know your best friend."

Thalia hummed.

She admitted that she was cold to Lan Qi when she taught him how to make cards, but she also had her tenderness. After being together for so long, Lan Qi must have realized it.

"After all, it's an 800-year-old brand."

Lan Qi praised.

"Then thank you very much for your patronage..."

Thalia realized that she couldn't do anything to Lanqi at the moment, so her tone became frighteningly polite.

Lan Qi suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Thalia actually accepted his words?

Not only was she unable to appear at the moment, it seemed that she... couldn't control him with mental magic.

Then wouldn't it be possible to chat with her in the Mirror of Tiberius?

This kind of thing is so cool!

However, Lan Qi had just started to make a move when he heard Talia's heartfelt voice——

Just wait, Lanci.

I'll ride you when you get out.

Lan Qi concentrated on reading the information provided by the Mirror of Tiberius.

The most important thing is undoubtedly his current state.

From front to back, each held spell and equipment can be clicked to view the appraisal results of the Mirror of Tiberius—

【Immortality and eternal punishment】

[Category: Active Spell]

[Level: Epic]

[Attribute: seal]

[Level: 5]

[Effect: At the cost of sacrificing a certain amount of one's own life and mana, the target's health status will continue to be locked. This spell cannot be actively lifted. Excessive attacks on the sealed target will weaken the seal effect. Using wolf blood or demon blood as a medium can reduce the cost of life or mana. 】

The spell that Lan Qi cares about the most is also the spell that he is most likely to learn.

At the second Shadow World Temple Villain's Dinner, he found books related to this spell in the library of Lichtens Castle. At that time, he was too weak and could only understand and memorize the principles but could not learn them. master.

Later, Lan Qi himself figured out a replacement plan for sealing the vampires through experiments.

So I didn't spend a lot of time and energy learning this sealing technique that could hurt the enemy a thousand times and hurt myself eight hundred times.

Hei Riqing himself has wolf blood and demon blood, which can be used at a low cost, but Lan Qi does not. Let's not talk about how long it takes to learn an epic magic. Once you learn it, you may not be able to use it.

"After beating the vampire weak, can you use this spell to seal the vampire into a permanent dying state?"

Thalia also heard about this spell, and Hyperion told her about magic in the shadow world.

In the original history, the Son of the Sun obtained Wolf Heart and Demonic Blood in Lichtens Castle. From then on, the cost of using this magic was greatly reduced, and this expensive spell could also be used as a normal core spell.

Now she finally saw the complete version of [Immortal Punishment].

"Yes, this magic is specifically aimed at undead creatures. For super-recovery and unkillable enemies, lock their upper limit of life. Although it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it is still useful."

In the magic book of Lichtens Castle, Lan Qi only saw the helplessness of the creator of the sealing technique.

Later, after being learned and perfected by Lanclos, it became a more practical spell.

Lan Qi had seen a similar epic sealing technique in this world.

This is the ultimate state-locking move that Lao Sang used in the snowy fields on the northern border.

However, there are several differences between [Immortal Punishment] and Askosan's spell.

In addition to the different conditions for breaking the spell, Askosan's spell locks all states. This spell only locks the life state. Of course, the life state can also be radiated to certain other states. Overall, Askosan's effect is stronger.

Moreover, after Askosang's sealing technique is hit, the life can only decrease but not increase. You can further kill the sealed target. After this immortal punishment takes effect, the life can neither increase nor decrease.

Therefore, Asksan's spell is an extremely negative state, while Immortal Punishment is more of a neutral state.

"Lan Qi, you finally got to play Hei Riqing's trumpet."

Thalia also stood next to Lanqi like a ghost assistant and looked at the spell appraisal results. These were truly epic magics that she had never seen before.

Although Lan Qi assumed the identity of Pope St. Paulante when he came to the Immortal Punishment Finale in the Shadow World, his own sixth-level rank has not changed.

This magic device seems to input information based on its unique dimensional determination method, directly simulating the future of Pope Saint Paulante as interpreted by Lanci.

In other words, the judgment of the Shadow World is the highest, and then it is the turn of the Mirror of Tiberius to judge. The Shadow World says that he is Pope St. Paulante. Regardless of whether he is or not, the Mirror of Tiberius is in the Shadow World. He will be recognized as Pope Saint Paulante.

"After all, the Shadow World is a divine product that is above all else. The Mirror of Tiberius can interfere with the Shadow World to a certain extent, which has proven that the Mirror of Tiberius has reached the level of the Shinto realm. It's valuable.”

Lanci and Thalia chatted as usual.

Before making a choice, he had to take a closer look at Hei Riqing's state at his peak.

Only by understanding your basic information at this time can you make the best judgment.

[Immortal Punishment] The last particularly conspicuous spell is also of epic level.

【Chimera Edict】

[Category: Active Spell]

[Level: Epic]

[Attribute: seal/land]

[Level: 7]

[Effect: Seal incapacitated targets or targets far weaker than yourself into the chimeric stone pillar. The seal cannot be released until the chimeric stone pillar is broken from the inside or outside. 】

"I think I've seen it before."

Thalia murmured.

[Chimera Edict] The actual effect of this spell was seen in Kaliela's Shadow Weaver Gem previously.

This is the story in the original history corresponding to the third shadow world.

In the image left by Kaliela, Lanclos of the Black Sun and Sigre were sitting in the meeting hall of the Demon King's Palace, and Kaliela controlled the fourth ancestor Edua who was about to self-destruct at the critical moment. At the same time, all the big demons were dragged into the gentle land where they fell.

The first person to wake up was Marquis Ulisses, the tenth ancestor of the painter with a unique state of mind.

He was going to take away Sigre, the last and strongest wolf species.

Lanclos also overcame the calamity of his life here, broke free from the falling land of gentleness, became clear-minded, advanced to the eighth level, and sealed the tenth ancestor Ulises.

The spell used by Lord Black Sun to seal the tenth ancestor Ulises and the fourth ancestor Eduardo in the Demon King's Palace was a solar eclipse-like twisting vortex and interlocking rock pillars.

"Can you learn this spell?"

Thalia felt that since Lancross could learn it, Lanqi should also be able to learn it after the seventh level.

Continuous control of the finish.

It's much better than Lanqi's [Basic Etiquette].

Lan Qi often uses [Basic Etiquette] to collect the juice over a high fire.

There is nothing strong about him.

If you use [Chimera Edict], you will feel like a king.

Although it felt like a king to make the enemy kneel down... Thalia didn't quite agree with it.

"First of all, give me a magic book that records the learning method of [Chimera Edict]. Secondly, after practicing for three to five years, I might be able to learn it. To be honest, if I really have these three to five years, I will do other things. Isn't it more effective than learning skills?”

Lan Qi said angrily.

He was used to using magic cards to quickly master new skills, and it was basically impossible for him to spend time learning magic.

"Too."

Thalia had to admit that Lanqi's talents in other aspects were even greater than magic.

Looking further down, although Lan Qi has never learned the two epic spells, their effects are very familiar.

【Glow Corona】

[Category: Passive Spell]

[Level: Epic]

[Attribute: light]

[Level: 6]

[Passive effect: Greatly increases the power of light attribute spells, adding additional power of the sun to attacks. 】

"This is probably Hei Riqing's innate magic. He is the incarnation of the sun and the natural enemy of the vampires."

Thalia explained to Lanci.

As a demon, she could tell at a glance that the composition of this magic originated from the demon's talent.

The reason why Lanclos was able to give birth to the demon's innate magic is because he was transformed by the Horning Empire's testing ground and was already considered a demon between the demons and humans. In addition, with the great demon he passed, After going through the clan trial and becoming a great demon clan, he truly crossed the threshold of the demon clan category.

Just like many half-demons and even one-eighth of the demons in the Protos Empire may derive demonic talents, it is not surprising that Lanclos has his own demonic talents.

As a human being, Lanclos's best attribute is sealing. As a glow demon, his most affinity attribute is light. The natural magic of the demons born is of light attribute.

"It's a pity that my mark of the Great Demon Clan is strictly speaking on the Great Love Poet. Neither my blood nor my soul can carry the Demon Clan's talent. It's normal that I can't derive the Demon Clan's talent."

Lan Qi was quite relieved.

The demon's innate magic is equivalent to buying a white ordinary quality spell that is most suitable for itself. Then it can continue to evolve and strengthen this spell as it grows, and finally reaches the perfect form of an orange epic.

Whether it is [Falling Gentle Land], [Hopeless Heavenly Army], or [Road to Death and Life], they are all the top epic spells that Lan Qi has ever seen.

Of course, there are also Muggle-like innate magics, such as identifying whether the other party is lying.

"Um?"

Thalia had something to say.

Her innate magic is currently of pink divine quality. Once it evolves into orange epic quality of mind reading, it will be of great use. She can predict the opponent's movements in battle. Isn't that great?

"Indeed, I haven't seen you use it very often when beating enemies, but when you arrest me, you catch me accurately."

Lan Qi suspected that this magic was a special attack on him.

"When you are a spy in the Creation Empire, do you need me to tell you the truth? I'm already working hard to help you read other people's minds, okay?"

Thalia said a little aggrievedly.

Lan Qi was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, Master, you are the most useful."

He rarely saw the aggrieved Thalia.

It seemed that I had gone too far.

"Huhu."

Thalia let out a light laugh.

What Epatia taught her was indeed correct. As long as she pretends to be pitiful, men will be shaken.

Sure enough, it's no problem to handle Lan Qi.

"Is it really okay for you to think this clearly in my mind...?"

Lanci felt that Talia was hopeless.

One of these sisters dares to teach and the other dares to learn.

His attention returned to Lancros's spell.

Being familiar with Lanclos's spells, he could also understand it. Their compatibility was already very high.

If you can memorize it, you might be able to learn similar spells one day in this world.

This innate magic is easier to use than his little sun [Shining Virtue].

Because [Glowing Corona] is a passive magic, the attack is effective, unlike the summoned object [Glowing Virtue], which can be destroyed by the enemy.

The only advantage of [Glorious Virtue] is that it can seal sight and has an additional sealing attribute.

"The last epic spell I don't recognize is similar to your [Fusion Wolf]."

Thalia stared at the identification results and sighed.

【Eternal Glory Destruction】

[Category: Active Spell]

[Level: Epic]

[Attribute: light]

[Level: 8]

[Effect: Consume all your own mana and cause over-range and indiscriminate damage centered on yourself. 】

"This magic is placed at the end. It should be the destructive magic that Hei Riqing has learned all his life."

Ranchi could guess its origin.

He probably learned the ultimate magic after seeing the [Blood Destruction] used by the fourth ancestor Eduardo in the Demon King's Palace, and then studying it from the captured fourth ancestor Eduardo.

It does not require the use of consumables like the fusion wolf, and can trigger a world-destroying explosion using only Lancros's own mana.

It was from then on that Hei Riqing, who entered the eighth-level realm and learned ultimate magic, truly became a front-line combat powerhouse, able to change the situation on the battlefield.

Six years after the Pollant Empire declared war, corresponding to the timeline between the third shadow world and the fourth shadow world, the demon king city Nekalis was attacked by the vampires. Kaliela was defeated by the third ancestor La. Duke of Charles.

Because he obtained Kaliela's life soul, Hei Riqing also received the magic [The Last Gentle Land] given to him by Qing Luo.

The effect is no different from [Overflowing Tenderness], it is a weakened version of Kaliela's talent magic.

As for the [Immortal Glass Body], it is very similar to the epic necklace [Immortal Glass Tears] that Lan Qi exchanged for Frey.

The more buffs and debuffs you have on your body, the higher the damage reduction and all basic attribute enhancements you will get.

It can also be immune to one fatal wound and restore to full status. The effect will be restored every full moon night.

[Immortal Glass Body] is a characteristic and passive spell acquired after obtaining the heart of the wolf prince.

"Lancross spent his whole life and learned three epic spells, which can be said to be the limit of living creatures."

Thalia did not study the other spells mastered by Lanclos in detail. They were basically some commonly used ancient spells.

Most of the rest are gifts from friends.

Even Bishop of Destruction Ivanos has only two active epic spells he can master: [Great Destruction] and [Embers of the Other Side].

And Ivanos was already the most talented mage in Lanqi's time.

Lanclos's talent may not be as good as Ivanos's, but Lanclos has gone through too many hardships that would not have existed in this era, which made him almost use his life, unforgettable hatred, and will to go beyond his limits to become stronger. .

"It's a pity that Lanclos doesn't have the talent of Ivanos and Loren. He has been beaten all his life on the way to becoming stronger, experiencing losses, then getting stronger, losing again, getting stronger again, and he has almost never played a downwind game. "

Lanci commented.

Lanchitalia looked at Black Sun's spell column and accessories column for a long time before finishing them.

Most of the accessories are magic props, which may be very powerful at the fourth or fifth level, but for the current Hei Riqing, they are almost useless.

For example, the witch's warm companionship and this earring can withstand an eighth-level attack for him.

Hei Riqing, who is actually at the ninth level limit, has ridiculously high mental attributes, can't see the bottom of his magic power, and has magic resistance that can be easily picked up by eighth level spells without any problems.

He still carries these ornaments with him, and they are probably just commemorative ornaments.

"Now we can get down to business."

Ranchi turned his attention to the several options Tiberius gave for the future in front of his desk.

Continue to stay, go to the Demon King's Castle, and return to the Theocracy.

Divination spells have limitations, and it is impossible to create a complete future world for him to personally experience and evolve.

Every time he makes a choice, the Mirror of Tiberius will directly deduce it based on his choice and enter the next key node.

And once the last option is chosen, it may cause the Purgatory Corridor Academy to run out of energy.

Both the Halls of Purgatory and the Mirror of Tiberius share the power of the central chamber.

Now he is equivalent to using private energy for private use.

Lancros has five and a half days left in his lifespan. The next choice must be carefully considered before making one, otherwise the opportunity to simulate the Mirror of Tiberius will end.

"So what if I only have five days to live? It's okay to have invincibility written on your face. You can go wherever you want."

Thalia suspected that Lanqi would have similar effects when he reached the ninth level.

Because the strange path taken by Lan Qi is different from that of Lan Cross, Lan Qi's frontal strength is far less than that of Lan Cross, but the summons on Lan Qi are always somewhat similar to Lan Cross's spells.

It can be said that Lanklos is a pure Fatan with full strength, while Lanqi is a relatively different kind of shaman.

"Do you want such invincibility? Anyway, I don't want it."

Lan Qi asked casually.

If Thalia gets the Psalm of Compassion and starts her rise, it may indeed be an invincible path.

"I don't want it either."

Thalia looked back at Lancross's life in one second, and felt that it was better to forget about such invincibility.

The strength gained by losing everything means punishment.

"If I think about it, if you choose the first option - staying in Purgatory Corridor Academy, it is basically equivalent to waiting for destiny and resting here."

Lan Qi tapped his fingertips on the office desk and analyzed.

Even without divination magic, people still have the ability to infer and predict, and they can guess the general meaning behind each option.

By selecting this option, the simulation may end in one step.

"The second option is to go to the Demon King's Castle... What else can you do besides meeting the blasphemous Lord Melogas?"

Lan Qi continued to think, and his voice became more hesitant.

"Don't go see that crazy woman, I don't want to see her."

Thalia directly helped him eliminate this option.

She still finds the scorpion-tailed witch Melogas disgusting.

Whether he was beating her or humiliating her, she looked like she was enjoying herself, and even had an unexplained flush on her face.

Thalia's scalp went numb just thinking about it.

If she can't afford to offend, she can afford to hide.

"Then choose C."

Lanci concluded.

It just so happened that before he set off for the Theocracy, he had promised his confidant in the Church of Saint Paulante, Justice Elm, that he would go to Oberon, the headquarters of the Steel Fortress on the southern border of the Theocracy, to witness the peaceful restoration of Seville. Anniversary.

Knowing the destiny accurately, there is no time to survive until two weeks later.

Lanclos probably still didn't want to break his promise.

Therefore, we first set off for Oberon, the steel fortress on the southern border of the Theocracy, which could be regarded as fulfilling the last promise before his death.

As for the last option "personal intervention", there is no point in using the opportunity for personal intervention from the beginning, and there is no other place to go except staying or heading south or north. Personal intervention is a waste of time and energy.

"I think if it was Lancross, he would also choose to go south."

Thalia agreed.

After all, Lianlan Cross's hometown, a small town in the Horning Empire, is to the south.

Perhaps there is a feeling of returning to one's roots, which makes him want to return to his hometown for the last time.

"Return to the Islamic State."

Lan Qi nodded and gently touched the translucent light screen.

In an instant, the whole world in front of him changed instantly.

He felt like he turned into a polar shadow and flew south at a ninth level speed.

The surrounding scenery quickly receded, blurring into a mottled color.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky turned dim and bright again. He traveled through the Demon Realm, the Land of Eternal Night, and the Theocracy of St. Paulant. Perhaps after flying for tens of thousands of kilometers, a majestic fortress city-state appeared in his field of vision.

This is probably the southern border of the Theocracy of St. Paulante. The city walls are towering and majestic, as if to show the world that this city-state is invincible.

He was like a bird overlooking the world, observing the entire city-state from a high altitude.

You can have a panoramic view of the well-proportioned streets, quaint and heavy buildings, and the bustling crowds. [You have arrived at the southernmost part of the Theocracy of San Paulante, the Iron Fortress Oberon, where preparations are being made for the fourth anniversary of the peaceful restoration of the land of Seville with the border city-state of the Horning Empire. 】

[Continuing to the south, you enter the northern province of Herslein in the Horning Empire. 】

"Lan Qi, you are flying."

Thalia's voice echoed in Ranchi's ears.

The flight speed of ninth-level telekinesis magic is already exaggerated, and the Mirror of Tiberius even speeds up the process.

"At this rate, the simulation will probably be completed soon."

The cutscenes that Lan Qi saw in the middle felt like they were a hundred times faster, and they didn't need to be controlled by themselves.

After the war, at the border of the Horning Empire, the cold winter sunshine shone on the main city covered with white snow, glowing with crystal light.

Inside those high walls that were once torn by war, the wilderness has now been transformed into greenhouses. Even in the cold winter, you can see green vegetables and fruits. From time to time, children are playing and running around, and their innocent laughter is in the cold weather. The wind is particularly crisp and sweet.

The closer you get to the center of the city-state, the market and chamber of commerce square are bustling with people talking and laughing, and the winter festival is peaceful and joyful.

The renovated energy plant and hospital have now become important guarantees for the fortress, providing magic energy and medical services to local citizens. A school has been built in the original barracks area of ​​the fortress, where children from the Horning Empire study and prepare for a peaceful future. prepare for.

The war ruins were built into the Peace Memorial Park, where people in the empire commemorated history and hoped for peace.

[The wounds of the past war have been healed, and people are rebuilding their homes with hard work and hope. 】

[This land that was once baptized by the flames of war is now full of vitality, with a thriving scene everywhere. 】

[This is the Horning Empire, your long-missed hometown. It has become something you don't recognize. 】

[Remaining life: 4 days, 9 hours and 24 minutes]

[The poor health status has made you a little weaker. 】

The simulation results of the Mirror of Tiberius occasionally appear in Lanqi's perspective.

"Why didn't Lanclos return to his hometown for so long after the war?"

Thalia couldn't help but ask.

She speculated that Lanclos might not have returned to Horning for three years after winning the war.

"He's probably scared."

This hometown has long become an obsession for Lanclos. After decades, it has become so unfamiliar that he dare not get closer, and it is so familiar that he dare not get closer.

"oh…"

Thalia responded with a vague understanding.

Surprisingly, she understood a little bit of this feeling.

Although her situation was completely different from that of Lanclos, she was secretly resisting going back to the old land of the demon world, which would remind her of many things in the past.

[Looking at the little time you have left, you understand that this is your last chance. 】

[The hometown that you have been avoiding before is now standing here. If you don't fulfill your last wish, you will never be able to take a look at the appearance of your hometown, Brunswick. 】

【How can you be willing to give up the starting point of your life. 】

[This is both your original intention and your dream. 】

[You decided to go to the Horning Empire alone. Due to the inappropriate identity of Saint Paulante Pope Lanclos Saint Anastasius, you changed your name to a young businessman named "Randall". , unnoticed and penetrated deeply into the territory of the Huoning Empire, which is now divided into the southern continent. 】

[There is still a long way to go. 】

[Before going to your hometown, you passed a place. 】

The sky changes again.

Lan Qi seemed to have been marching silently in the Horning Empire for a long time. It was morning just now, and now it is dusk.

Then his vision stagnated.

He only saw himself wearing a casual vest, standing in the giant square of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the sunset sky with sparse clouds, there are birds flying in the distance.

Gorgeously dressed businessmen and energetic residents shuttled back and forth in an endless stream, surrounded by majestic buildings, many of which were simple statues decorated with legendary gods.

The winter breeze far away from the dense crowd gently caresses the cheeks, and the noise of children playing, musicians playing, and the laughter and singing of unknown people can all be conveyed here.

"Is this the Horning Empire today?"

Lan Qi gently raised his hand, holding the sunset and the petals flying in the wind.

Give the flower a little time, and it will dress up as a colorful butterfly for the coming spring.

Give trees and grass a little time, and they will turn the desert into a green field.

Lan Qi chanted the quiet and peaceful street scene of the Horning Empire in winter, which fell on him, as if he had forgotten the sorrow of the past.

"So no matter how unwilling Lanclos is, more than three years have passed and he has completely understood that the war is over and it's time to let it go."

Thalia sighed.

If the future in the Mirror of Tiberius looked like this, she would be relieved for the time being.

She could feel Lanclos's mood gradually calming down.

Lan Qi will not understand some very dangerous things.

Recognize that things are impermanent and that there will eventually be helplessness.

Lanclos's pain is all caused by love, but love is such a magical thing.

The more you try to catch it, the more it will make you fall, and the more you know how to let it go, the more it will gradually overflow.

Learn to let go and unload the burden, and Lanclos's heart will become more complete.

[Seeing this scene, you stood blankly in the square for a long time. 】

【When the sun sets in the west. 】

[You can slowly disappear into the sea of ​​people, you can let the memories of crying go away, you can believe that you are right, and you can welcome the next phase of your life, which is also your last day. 】

The scene in Lan Qi's eyes changed again.

Just like dreaming.

After a while, it turned into a new scene.

He continued to go south, and soon came to a lofty mountain range.

At night after sunset, he arrived at Hansabek, the north-central province of the Horning Empire.

Looking around, there are towering mountain peaks all around, and towering cliffs reaching into the sky.

The valley is filled with clouds and smoke, the mountain wind is howling, and a dark gray castle stands majestically on the top of the highest mountain.

"Originally, this was a kingdom called Hansabek, bordering the Horning Empire. After the Horning Empire fully invaded the north more than 20 years ago, Hansabek also became one of the territories of the Horning Empire. The province of Hansabek."

Lanci told Thalia about the geography of this era tens of thousands of years ago.

I still remember that during the second Shadow World Temple villain dinner, the young master of the Chamber of Commerce, who was a geographer, told them the geography knowledge around Lichtens Castle.

At that time, the Horning Empire had not fully expanded and occupied the entire southern continent.

The current timeline is already twenty-eight years later, and everything has changed.

"So, the castle we see on the cliff now is the Lichtens Castle on the northern border of the Horning Empire before it was expanded?"

The more Thalia looked at it, the more familiar the surrounding terrain became.

It was very similar to the scenery she saw in the video of Lan Qi's second movie world.

"Yes, it should be Lichtens Castle. For me, all the beautiful memories in that shadow world castle are there, but for Lanclos in the original history, that castle is the most unforgettable. It's understandable that he wants to take a look at his past before he dies.”

As a resident who has personally experienced five days and five nights in Lichtens Castle, Lanci is particularly familiar with this building.

The Horning Empire-style castle, with its tall stone walls and pointed battlements, each wall and tower is a testament to its standing standing after hundreds of years of wind and rain. The moonlight shines on the gray stone walls of the castle. The mottled traces of stones still cannot erase the vigorous texture.

In front of the door leafs on both sides, the shadow of the moon flows freely between the window lattice, passing through the colorful glass, making the outside of the building appear bright and dark.

After arriving at the castle, he walked around the castle briefly before returning to the outside of the castle again.

Gradually move away.

Heading towards the cliff.

Even if the line of sight has not touched the edge, the cliff nearly a thousand meters high and hundreds of meters wide has already brought a strong visual shock.

He jumped down from the cliff and came to a hidden stone staircase.

There is a collection of tombstones standing here.

His vision then became dim, as if his eyes were closed.

In the darkness, there were only subtitles in demonic characters.

[You found the witch's tomb, and spent the whole night leaning against her tombstone, closing and opening your eyes. 】

[In the early morning, you found the seal of the werewolf descendant prince at the foot of the cliff. You saw that he was slowly recovering his vitality after losing his heart. You were relieved. You strengthened the seal. Maybe in a hundred years, he will wake up again. , and the prosperous age that you and he talked about was also achieved for him. 】

When the vision lit up again, it was already the next day.

[Remaining life: 3 days, 13 hours and 33 minutes]

[Your life is about to end, and you become weak again. 】

"Is this the original historical line of the second Shadow World Temple Villain's Dinner?"

Thalia remembers a story recorded in the Shadow World rewards of Ranchi, Hyperion, and Frey.

If the stories are connected together, it should be the ending of the Son of the Sun, the Witch Lady, and the descendant Wolf King in Lichtens Castle for five days and five nights.

"It seems that the Mirror of Tiberius simulates the historical line where Lancross is located."

Ranch acknowledges and responds to Thalia.

Since it is read that his identity is Lanclos, then of course it is Lanclos's story.

This is more certain that the ending of immortal punishment in the fourth shadow world is not much different from the real historical line - the Paulant Empire really won, and later the birth of the Saint Paulant Theocracy and the Pope of Lanclos These are all facts that exist in history.

"That's it."

Thalia said happily.

Blood Moon Bad Times seems to have a happy ending so far.

Despite all the sacrifices.

But they succeeded.

The vision began to change again.

[You met your old friend again here, fulfilled another wish, and continued south, passing by a border town dozens of kilometers away from Lichtens Castle in Hansabek Province. 】

[Perhaps this town looks too much like your hometown, so you can't help but walk in and have a look. 】

[As the saying goes, the mountain road is winding and full of twists and turns. Your heart follows the road, and your heart is always broad. 】

[At this moment, you are no longer the pope who is as powerful as a god, but a young man enjoying the journey. 】

On a sunny day, a brown-haired and blue-eyed traveling businessman embarked on a winding path leading to a mountain town.

On both sides of the path, green trees swayed gently in the breeze, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and earth.

While admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, he was thinking about the destination of this journey—the rural town of Brunswick, located in the southern hinterland of the Horning Empire and surrounded by mountains.

The town in front of us, not too far from Lichtens Castle, is located among the staggered peaks.

The dark gray and white buildings complement the rolling terrain and blend into the mountains.

The warm morning light gilded the town with a golden edge, setting off the blue sky and white clouds, like a wonderful picture.

Lan Qi felt everything slow down.

The fragrant fragrance of flowers floats in the air, accompanied by the melodious and profound music, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

He was touring the town carrying the traveling merchant's suitcase.

Looking around, this is a seemingly affluent border town.

"What a beautiful town."

Thalia also praised.

She now thinks the Mirror of Tiberius is awesome.

It can take people on such a healing journey of appreciating the beautiful scenery.

“There's definitely a sense of understanding Lanclos' life path.”

Lan Qi just walked towards the end step by step.

It seems Lanclos doesn't have to be afraid.

There is nothing left to lose.

[You suddenly discovered this small town—]

With the new Tiberius Mirror Demon character.

Lan Qi felt like he was in this small town now.

It was the same as before in the principal's office.

He can briefly experience the illusion himself.

It seems that we are almost at the next point of making a choice.

Ranchi walks on the road.

He simply looked around.

The residents were looking at him inexplicably, and their eyes were wary of him, a foreign traveling businessman.

"Is that hostility, or fear...?"

Thalia muttered to herself in confusion.

"Probably both."

Lan Qi also discovered what the information given by the Mirror of Tiberius refers to.

"It doesn't make sense. Your current disguise is not that of Pope Saint Paulante. With your appearance, it's impossible for civilians to see through your disguise, right?"

Thalia was convinced that even a great demon like her would not be able to see through the disguise of the ninth-level Black Riqing.

Unless Hei Riqing reveals himself, no one will be able to recognize him.

"That only shows that the situation in this town is such that a strange traveling businessman would simply be intimidated."

Lanci gave the answer.

This is very strange.

If individual residents are afraid of traveling merchants, they still have to explain.

At the moment, the town is more like, but every resident will look at him as a traveling businessman.

【You realize that it's not right. 】

[The instinctive vigilance gained through many battles makes it impossible for you to ignore it. 】

[You decide that even if you stay in this town for a while, you have to figure out the reason for this sense of dissonance. 】

[Although the vast majority of residents are wary of you, there are some residents who are less likely to avoid you, and there are shops willing to trade with you. 】

[Soon, you used your affinity and communication skills to find out where the mayor is, the church in Lilem Town. 】

The new Mirror Rune of Tiberius appeared on the street that Lan Qi saw.

Only Lan Qi can see it.

[You go to the church and meet the mayor. 】

It's like the starting point of a dream rippling with ripples.

Lan Qi blinked, and what he saw was no longer the street, but rays of sunlight pouring in freely through the window lattice, making the interior of the church flicker brightly and darkly through the colorful stained glass.

The cross in the center and the god's image on the high wall are in the light and shadow of Lu Li, and the steps and floor tiles are decorated with clear water.

The masonry work of the craftsmen makes every detail extremely exquisite, and it may have withstood the vicissitudes of wind and rain.

There was also an old man in the church with undisguised vigilance in his eyes.

[You met the elderly mayor and sincerely showed your high-end goods and financial resources to the mayor and expressed your intention to trade. You really want to purchase the rare medicinal herbs unique to this town. 】

After a conversation that was so short that it was almost ignored, the old mayor looked at the young businessman in front of him, with a hint of surprise and apology in his eyes.

Such high-level businessmen registered in the "Prosperity Chamber of Commerce" can be said to be lucky to come to a small place like theirs. It is rude for them to treat the other party as a suspicious small businessman.

The old mayor happily invited Hei Riqing to sit down and became very interested in the deal he proposed.

During the conversation, Hei Riqing inadvertently brought up his identity as a mercenary during the war years, thereby expressing the possibility that he was also powerful enough to solve problems for the town.

When the old mayor heard this, his originally kind face suddenly became serious.

"Mr. Randall, how strong are you?"

the old mayor asked eagerly.

"Everything can be done if it's level seven or below."

Randall is the pseudonym of Lanclos, a traveling merchant who infiltrated the Horning Empire.

"That's it..."

The old mayor sighed, looking as if he had found a savior, but he was still a little worried.

"I think you have noticed that everyone is wary of you when you came to our town, but please believe that we have no intention of offending you. We are in trouble..."

[The old mayor believed in your strength and also felt your sincerity, so he began to reveal his current situation to you. 】

"In the central and southern parts of the Horning Empire, an evil creature has appeared recently. They are good at forgery, can perfectly disguise themselves as humans, and can even replace the people around them. Many victims have appeared in nearby city-states, including wealthy businessmen and All the dignitaries and even common people were wiped out overnight, and the residents of the town were very worried that they would come to our town next. "

The old mayor said with a sad look on his face.

"How could such a thing happen? Is this evil creature very strong?"

[You continue to ask. 】

[This matter sounds like a big problem. It can be seen from the fear of the old mayor and the panic of the residents that the evil creatures have harmed the residents of the Horning Empire on a large scale, and they are gradually unable to suppress the news. The hazards are beginning to ferment. 】

"According to the target's intelligence, those evil creatures may be strong or weak, and some may be hiding around you... Because that war brought too much harm to the people of the Horning Empire, many strong men died on the battlefield. Nowadays, in a small town like ours, the strongest are only second-level young knights.”

The old mayor continued to answer.

[You were silent about this. 】

[In that war, many powerful men from the Horning Empire died at the hands of the Allied Forces of the Saint Paulant Theocracy and the Demons. 】

[Although the initiator of the war is the Vampire Clan, most people still don't know this fact. 】

[In their view, the Theocracy of St. Paulante is the executioner, and the people of the Horning Empire are the injured party, that's all. 】

"Do you have more detailed information about that evil creature?"

[You still can't let go of any living thing in need of help. 】

"Demon."

The old mayor came closer and said firmly, with a hint of fear in his voice.

"Honing's capital city, St. Trike, has sent strong men of the blood race to help us. Maybe they will arrive in Hansabek Province in the next few days, but there are only a few adults of the blood race. They will definitely investigate in the city-state first, and finally It's our remote town's turn again, and once the devil appears in our town, what will happen to us…”

The old mayor's voice gradually became hoarse, the wrinkles on his face wrinkled, and he seemed to dare not speak anymore.

[In this church, the young man's eyes are filled with confusion. 】

[This familiar word echoes in your ears, Demon. It originated from the Horning Empire. It was a product of the Horning Empire's testing ground more than thirty years ago. It was also the Horning Empire's last means of self-rescue. 】

[However, many years have passed, and no one has understood this fact. 】

Lan Qi was confused for a moment when he was in this church.

Since the young Lancross accepted the transformation of the Horning Empire's testing site, his time has stopped at that moment forever.

This taboo product created by the transformation surgery at the Huoning Empire's experimental site is called a demon. Only many years ago, there was a group of successful experimenters. This group of troops was ordered to sneak into the demon world, learn the inherited knowledge of the demons, and seek to fight against the vampires. opportunity.

They are neither demons nor humans.

The mortality rate of the devil's transformation surgery is extremely high, and one has to go through countless devastation before there is any hope of success. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to abandoning one's own race and turning oneself into a monster that looks nothing like him. As a side effect, not only does it not The longevity of a true demon would be significantly shorter than that of a human being.

Perhaps for Lanclos, it was already a miracle that he could live to be in his forties. He might have to endure unimaginable pain every moment, relying entirely on the tenacity of his soul to resist death, dragging this body that was about to die at any time. Collapsed body.

This secret is only known to the few comrades of Lanclos who are still alive, like Queen Kesia.

"It's impossible. How could a demon appear in the Horning Empire?"

Thalia also realized that something was wrong, and her heart began to pound.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, the more frightened and angry she became, the more angry and frightened she became.

"Demon", a taboo product of acquired nature, should have been obliterated by the times and buried in history.

Except for the Blood Moon Bad World, no information related to "Demons" has appeared in the history of any other shadow world, and it has not been passed down among their demon clan. This means that the Demons must have become extinct in later generations, and the method of their transformation is certainly It was destroyed in the era of Blood Moon Bad Times.

Based on her experience in Parrieu, the flower capital of the Poisson Kingdom, if the Senate could no longer suppress the news and one or two crazy curse-wielding demon clans emerged, it meant that the city might be filled with crazy curse-wielding demon clans. of potential candidates.

So that night, the Huadu Incident suddenly broke out and almost overturned the entire Posen Kingdom.

But now in the Horning Empire, demons have not only caused one or two problems, but even this border town is afraid of demons.

Maybe something has been brewing invisibly to the critical point.

The sharp drop made Talia feel like she was falling into a nightmare.

"Before the Lord of the Blood Clan comes to help us, could you please help us investigate the demons and protect our safety?"

The old mayor looked at the traveling businessman disguised as Hei Riqing and begged.

On the contrary, the vampires will help them hunt down the demons, giving them a sense of security.

Strong human beings who have the ability to fight against demons are rare in remote places like theirs.

At this point, the issue of the Mirror of Tiberius also surfaced in the church's rose window.

[Facing the calls for help from the townspeople of the Horning Empire, what will you choose next:]

【A.Turn a blind eye】

【B. Torture the townspeople】

【C. Accept the commission】

[D. Personal intervention]

[Remaining life: 3 days, 11 hours and 51 minutes]

[You have become much weaker again. 】
