Chapter 888 - 703: Lanci Wants to Be a Pest Now
The dusk hung low, and the streetlights on Pari Street glowed dimly.
After finishing his official duties, Nigel, accompanied by Lanci and Talia, walked through the quiet alleys, their footsteps swallowed by the night.
Originally, he had merely entrusted Lanci and Tata with the matter, intending Countess Rosalinda to arrange the follow-up, but since Lanci had brought up a more important matter, they needed to discuss it in detail again.
Before long, the elegant sign of the Valentine Gallery came into view.
The three of them bypassed the main entrance and quietly entered the gallery through an inconspicuous side door.
"What did you say about the Blood Clan, Lanci?"
On the way, Nigel had also heard some alarming information from Lanci.
From what he understood, there had indeed been sightings of mysterious races, such as a powerful Eighth-order Undead appearing in Lanci’s homeland, the Nanwantina.
The three of them passed through one exhibition hall after another until a hidden black door appeared before them.
"Actually, the root cause of the turmoil in the Cerryti Empire is the Blood Clan. Of course, there might be some power-hungry individuals within the Cerryti Empire itself. The Blood Clan has dealt with the Anti-War Faction, aligning instead with the War Party’s interests. It seems now that the Cerryti Empire possesses a high war cohesion force, but if I’m not mistaken, the Blood Clan is planning to eliminate the uncontrollable War Party in a clandestine struggle. The War Party will eventually find a way to retaliate against the Blood Clan."
Lanci gently pushed open the door, explaining to Nigel as he followed him down a long corridor leading to Nigel’s office.
The awakening of Rashar, the Third Ancestor Duke, in the depths of the Cerryti Empire was essentially the driving force behind all this.
Duke Rashar’s Blood Control Heart power, although difficult to use in direct combat, was the most troublesome Blood Clan Authority, at the pinnacle of Spiritual Magic and Illusion Technique. The darker the enemy’s emotions, the easier it was for Duke Rashar to find mental flaws, achieving Mind Control and forced domination.
"I knew it... How could the Cerryti Empire have unified so quickly? Although the Kingdom Joint Council Alliance has many theories, they are all just speculations..."
As the three advanced further, bright light gradually emerged at the end of the corridor.
When they finally stepped out of the gallery, a majestic and solemn government building stood before them.
Nigel led the two up a spiral staircase, the surrounding night scene expanding with each level they climbed.
When they finally reached the office door at the end of the third floor, Nigel used his key to open the heavy oak door.
The door opened with a click, and the light instantly filled the entire room, dispelling the chill of the late autumn night that had enveloped them.
"Please, take a seat."
Nigel invited, gesturing for Lanci and Talia to sit on the leather sofa on one side of the room.
Looking around, Nigel’s office hasn’t changed much since his promotion to major general, the dark brown walls still neatly lined with old maps and yellowed clippings, those yellowed papers and manuscripts meticulously organized.
Nigel walked to the back of his desk, took off his black military coat, revealing the crisp suit underneath.
He activated the office’s sound barrier barrier as quickly as before, poured three cups of coffee, and took a seat opposite the two.
"Thank you."
Lanci placed his cat on the sofa and expressed his gratitude.
"In addition to the rare unity of the Cerryti Empire, they have also gained the membership of top-tier combatants and neutral forces such as the Withered Bishop Nedodichka, the Archbishop of Decay Fa Mo, and Dimension Bishop Toriyado."
Nigel lifted the coffee cup from the table and took a sip.
