This time, both Lan Qi and the young lady of the Milford Earl's family naturally stopped paying attention to each other, only briefly making eye contact.

Lan Qi was certain that the Earl's daughter had seen him, but it was clear that she was very wary of the Silent Saint's identity, her eyes showing a hint of avoidance.

Lan Qi smiled and sighed.

He and those two students would probably meet again at the Protos Royal Magic Academy in Helrom, the Imperial Capital, but he wouldn't scare them so much then.

Although they hadn't interacted much before, there was something vaguely familiar about the unfortunate state of the young lady when she encountered trouble.

Many times when he saw Hyperion, either someone was trying to kill Hyperion, or someone was on their way to kill Hyperion.

But Lan Qi couldn't sense the Great Poet's presence on this Earl's daughter, and her appearance was completely different from the disguise Talia had given Hyperion before they set off.

He was probably overthinking things.

But on second thought, if Hyperion wanted to disguise herself as an Earl's daughter and infiltrate the Protos Empire, she would probably change her face, but she would need a card maker proficient in Demon magic writing to remake [Transformation: Human], and the [Great Poet] card, which didn't belong to Hyperion and couldn't be stored in her soul space, would need to be sealed and disguised as something else to pass through the security checkpoint in the Box Mountain Province of the Protos Empire.

Sid secretly poked Lan Qi, interrupting his thoughts.

Lan Qi turned to him, surprised and confused.

"Why were you staring at that girl for so long?"

It seemed that because Lan Qi was dressed as the Silent Saint, Sid particularly disliked Lan Qi's new look, and poked him with more force, not caring about him at all.

"Was I?"

"See? There were clearly two girls on the platform just now, but your first question wasn't 'which girl?'"

"..."

Lan Qi was a little speechless.

But then he smiled,

"I was reminded of an old friend, but it's probably not that coincidental."

He answered frankly.

On the other side.

On the empty platform, Hyperion watched the train opposite pull away.

She had accidentally looked at a dangerous person!

She also realized that the Silent Saint had left.

But in that instant, she saw the faint smile on that figure's lips, that calm and steady demeanor as if good luck would always surround him, and for a moment she felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

"It shouldn't be..."

Hyperion murmured, watching the departing train.

She didn't dare to imagine this overly surreal and absurd situation. It was impossible that Lan Qi had replaced the Silent Saint and then helped her at this intersection.

But.

She didn't know whether to believe logic or intuition...

Hyperion stood quietly on the platform, her skirt swaying in the light breeze. The wind brushed past her, silently stroking her long, silky hair. She gently held down the strands of hair caught by the wind.

The train roared, leaving her sight, heading towards the distant end with rolling mist and fading sound.

If it's him/her, we'll definitely meet again in Helrom.

The two figures, one on the train and one on the platform, thought separately.

...

...

The next day.

Central Protos Empire, Imperial Capital Helrom.

As the afternoon sun slanted onto the tracks, the magical energy rail train slowly came to a stop at the South Helrom Station.

Lan Qi and Sigrid retrieved their luggage from the shipping area, stood out from the crowd in the station hall, and walked through the heavily guarded checkpoint.

They hurried through the afternoon crowds of Helrom at four o'clock.

Stepping out of the station, a burst of air mixed with natural fragrance rushed to his face. Compared to the cold north, Helrom felt more like spring.

On both sides of the street, vibrant plants intertwined with ancient and towering buildings, connecting the illusory realm with reality.

"Helrom always has a psychedelic feel to it. Even I think it's a pretty good place to live,"

Lan Qi said, dragging his suitcase with one hand and holding a cup of afternoon red tea in the other.

No matter how many times he came to this city, he would be attracted by the increasingly bizarre architectural scenery after entering the city, which couldn't be found in paintings.

"I think you'd be suitable for municipal planning. Maybe you can make it better,"

Sigrid chatted with him from the side.

The two transferred to another train midway and changed their appearances during the transfer.

Amidst the skyscrapers shining with golden-orange sunlight, flowers bloomed like tides in the floating gardens, colorful and vibrant. The two walked beneath them, and could hear the singing of the plants from the aerial gardens and see the shimmering light of the astral bodies, adding a bit of leisure to the afternoon.

Boss Cat hid in Lan Qi's shadow without saying a word. It hadn't stopped listening to the two of them chatting all the way.

Tata had clearly said that she and Lan Qi had barely spoken a few words on the way from South Wantina Territory to the royal capital Ikerith.

Boss Cat now recalled the way Lan Qi and Tata got along, and then looked at the way Lan Qi and Sid got along.

Using the method of controlling variables, was Tata really the problem?

"After resting at the school for a while, I have to go to Helrom Broadcasting Company,"

Lan Qi said to Sigrid.

The interview program was tonight, and he had to get to the Helrom Broadcasting Company's headquarters building a little earlier.

It was still early for the time being, but later he had to leave Sigrid alone at the Protos Royal Magic Academy.

"No problem, just send me to Gloria,"

Sigrid nodded.

"Is she okay?"

Lan Qi asked after hearing the name and thinking for a moment.

He remembered seeing this direct subordinate named Gloria in Associate Professor Siddo's history class. She seemed to be a little bored at the time, so she came to see him. She was also Sigrid's confidante who stayed at the Protos Royal Magic Academy.

But Lan Qi helped the Silent Bishop test loyalty along the way, and Lan Qi felt the existence of a large number of rebellious people, and he felt that the Silent Bishop was not worth it.

So he was now a little worried whether loyalty would be tempted by villains when faced with real and huge temptation.

"Don't worry, I practically raised her. I know her inside and out,"

Sigrid said confidently.

When she played the role of a student at the Protos Royal Magic Academy, she mostly lived in Gloria's house. She was one of Sigrid's most trusted subordinates.

Gloria was a powerful student. As the tenth seat of the third grade, she owned a detached mansion in the school. Later, Lan Qi thoroughly investigated the potential Resurrection cultists in the school, and because Gloria was one of his own, he acquiesced to her stay.

However, Lan Qi didn't reply and fell into thought. Sigrid looked at Lan Qi and prepared to explain Gloria's credibility to him again.

Then she saw the puzzled look in Lan Qi's eyes.

As if thinking about whether she was under thirty or over thirty.

This made Sigrid laugh angrily. She sped up and walked forward, ignoring Lan Qi.

I tried my best to write, but I can't finish it today. There will be at least three updates tomorrow
