Chapter 15 Preparing to Depart

At the True Midnight Magic Research Institute on the outskirts of Neca Island, Rance was still chatting with Fallen Sovereign Caliera in the depths of the central control room.

"Tell me first who you're planning to look for."

Rance sighed.

He didn't know who Caliera wanted as the negotiator from the Polent Empire, but he could arrange it.

"A madman whom the empire's higher-ups can't figure out, the new Prime Minister of the Polent Empire, but he's the only one who dares to take on this important task during wartime. I'm not sure how much it will cost to gain his trust. If he discovers that we demons have a stronger desire to form an alliance, he will definitely demand a high price. But if our sincerity is insufficient, he will doubt whether we truly want to help them fight against the Blood Clan."

Caliera pinched her brow and said. After she finished speaking, she paused for a few seconds, leaned forward, and lowered her voice slightly.

"You and I have only one task in the Polent Empire: find a way for me to meet Wilfort. If all else fails, we can work together to give him a therapy session, and he will become our slave."

Caliera smiled slyly, now that she had discovered that her combination skill with Nameless Sovereign was the strongest.

"..."

Rance choked.

Leaving aside whether Fallen Sovereign’s typical demonic thinking was correct.

First of all, it was simply impossible to implement.

"Is it really okay for you and me to loudly plot these things?"

He looked at Fallen Sovereign very seriously.

"What's wrong? Are you going to tell me that you have some connection with that Prime Minister and can't bring yourself to harm him?"

Caliera asked confused.

"No, is there any chance that I am the Prime Minister?"

Rance spread his hands and confessed.

"Hahaha."

Caliera leaned back in her sofa chair upon hearing this.

Rance's serious joking manner amused her.

He was clearly a Great Demon, and she knew it very well. Furthermore, Polent Empire's Prime Minister Wilfort had never left the Polent Empire, and had been extremely busy recently.

"Where do you think I get my intelligence about the Polent Empire from? I'm very clear about the Polent Empire's movements. According to the intelligence sent by the spies I've planted in the Polent Empire, their Prime Minister has been in the capital, Hershalem, for the past month and hasn't left."

Caliera opened her eyes slightly, her solemn and stern expression as if to say, let's skip this joke.

"You have spies in the Polent Empire?"

Rance raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Hmph, of course."

Fallen Sovereign Caliera proudly crossed her arms. Seeing Rance's rare surprised expression, she felt that this calm guy was finally looking at her in a new light.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network. I guarantee that no one in the Polent Empire can discover the demonic spies I've planted. I'm not only monitoring their Prime Minister, but their Prime Minister won't have the slightest awareness. Even if their Prime Minister digs three feet into the ground throughout the country, he won't be able to find a single clue."

She opened one eye and looked at Rance, her eyes as if asking, am I very powerful?

"..."

Rance's eyes seemed to be answering, then you are really powerful.

It was the first time he had seen Fallen Sovereign as such an rampant outlaw.

Now it seemed that unless he was willing to let Fallen Sovereign read his memories, Fallen Sovereign would not believe him at all.

"Okay, then, let's go to the Polent Empire together."

Rance finally nodded.

"However, I want to go with Hyperion. The official envoy is Her Highness the Princess herself, and you are an accompanying bodyguard. When I arrive in the Polent Empire, I will use my human identity in the Polent Empire to assist you."

Facts speak louder than words. Anyway, there was no difference between knowing sooner or later. On the way back to the Polent Empire, he was still Nameless Sovereign Rocky McCarthy. Only when he returned to the Polent Empire and had his double switch identities with him would he be Prime Minister Rance Wilfort.

"Of course, no problem. Then, I'll be counting on you when we get to the Polent Empire."

Caliera agreed, she knew that the two of them didn't want to be separated even for a moment.

"We can leave tomorrow, I've already arranged the itinerary."

She stood up and happily gestured for Rance to walk out of the central control room.

...

Afternoon.

In this windy but slightly warm dusk, Rance drove back to Lis Island, where the palace restaurant was located.

This pleasing, off-white mansion faced the bay.

The lush green lawn began at the beach, crossed one-third of a kilometer, came to the front door, passed sundials, brick paths, and several colorful gardens, and after reaching the corner of the wall, it seemed to use the momentum of the run to turn into vines and continue to climb up the wall.

A row of floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the front of the house sparkled in the golden sunset, opening to welcome the warm afternoon breeze.

Rance, wearing a shirt and vest, walked alone to the wooden harbor extending from his mansion, and looked out at the bay.

He saw a magic-powered vehicle moving fast and slow on the sea, drawing an arc of water reflecting the colors of the sunset, only the cheers never stopped.

"Sister, go faster!"

"Even faster?"

"I believe in your driving skills, even if we fall into the water, you'll save me, right?"

"Ugh... alright!"

"Meow meow meow! I don't want to fall into the water!"

Sigrid was sitting in Hyperion's arms in the driver's seat of the small magic-powered speedboat, directing Hyperion to drive with particular joy. If Sigrid's feet couldn't reach the pedals, she might have stepped on the accelerator herself.

Hyperion's expression was full of helplessness, but she seemed unable to resist Sigrid's cute offensive, so she could only carefully drive faster according to her request.

There was also a small black cat hanging on Hyperion's sleeve, drifting left and right from time to time, making a series of meows.

"Nekariss, the Demon King's Castle, is disappearing with every glance."

Rance leaned on the railing, facing the sea breeze, and sighed.

"It's a pity that I couldn't let you play on Lis Island for a longer time."

At this point, this Shadow World was also coming to an end.

Or rather, after solving the Tenth Progenitor Ulysess, this Shadow World was already nearing its end. When he returned to the Polent Empire and reopened the Shadow World broadcast to help Loren get redress in one fell swoop, the time limit would be about the same.

The subsequent full-scale southern campaign and the final battle with the Blood Clan in the heart of the Hoening Empire would probably be the content of the last Blood Moon Bad World Shadow World.

Rance didn't know how many years it would be until the next Shadow World, but by then, he and Hyperion probably hadn't seen Sigrid for a long time.

The adult Sigrid was likely to be a top-tier Rank 8 powerhouse, and her personality would definitely change.

He hoped that the three of them could still get along as harmoniously as they did now.

But after thinking about it carefully, Rance felt that it was fine. He couldn't imagine what it would be like for Sigrid and Hyperion to argue.
