Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 712 Lan Qi’s Resurrection

 After Nicholas’s brief and powerful cross-examination, the chief of the Imperial Secret Service Section 1 seemed to have temporarily put aside his suspicion of Lan Qi.

He motioned to Lieutenant Colonel Burke to let this aristocratic young man with blue eyes and black hair leave the train carriage.

 “Mr. Landry, thank you for your cooperation.”

Nicolas the Kestrel nodded to Lanci,

"As an important eyewitness and witness to this incident, our Imperial Special Operations Division may need to learn more from you in the future. However, time is running out right now, and the task of tracking down Allied spies is more important, so I won't waste your time anymore. ”

  After all, he is still an imperial noble, so it would not be good to continue to detain him.

"It is my duty to provide some clues for the investigation. If you need anything else, I will wholeheartedly help."

Lanqi returned the greeting humbly.

“Then please leave your information and contact information, Mr. Landry.”

 Nicola Kestrel said simply and neatly that this is what is necessary at the end of the investigation.

 He looked at Lan Qi.

　　　…”

 “I’m sorry, Professor Landry, I was so careless just now.”

 At this brief moment, Nicholas had already handed the official letter back to Lanci.

Thalia watched Ranchi chatting and laughing with the military police brigade commander, and felt that by now, Ranchi had completely transformed into Landry Wassington.

“I have just arrived in Brilda, and my place of residence in the capital should be arranged for me by my workplace. If you need to find me, you can find me at St. Creation Monastery on a business-to-business basis.”

The name of St. Creation's Monastery is indeed extraordinary, even the military and police of the empire look up to it.

 “So that’s it…”

Lest Nicholas the Kestrel ask again.

　　　…”

At this moment, this young man with black hair and blue eyes, in their eyes, has become a mysterious heroic existence with deep merit and fame.

Kestrel Nicholas thought to himself, his face still calm.

“Landry Wassington, the newly appointed professor at St. Clare’s Abbey, is about to report before taking office. The scheduled arrival time is September 30th…”

 “It was rude of me to nearly offend earlier, Professor Landry.”

Under normal circumstances, if there is no shortage of manpower, the school will provide certain protection to this precious talent specially hired by St. Creation Monastery. However, the current situation is that there is really no way to pick up this professor so far from the northwest border.

Kestrel Nicholas looked down at the official letter and muttered softly.

 The safest way is to keep his information confidential and let him come to the capital on his own in a low-key manner. On the contrary, sending someone to **** him is more likely to bring danger to him.

The capital guardsmen standing aside could not hide their curiosity and admiration in their eyes. They seemed to want to ask the professor something, but it was obviously inappropriate to interrupt the superior's chat here.

Maybe even more like the real Landry than Landry.

Nicholas Kestrel said,

“I did hear that St. Creation’s Monastery has a new recruitment plan in the near future, but I didn’t expect that the inaugurated person would be right in front of me.”

“Yes, we arrived at the station just as we were about to talk about work on the train, and then Mr. Nicholas came.”

Lanci replied.

Lieutenant Colonel Burke, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but ask.

After all, as far as Thalia knew, St. Creation's Monastery was the most secretive institution of higher learning in the Southern Continent. Even in the United Kingdom Alliance, it was unrivaled, and there was very little relevant information.

Lieutenant Colonel Burke said.

Lanchi chatted casually with Lieutenant Colonel Burke, waiting for Nicholas the Kestrel to verify the information.

 Lieutenant Colonel Burke seemed to have a good impression of Lan Qi, but he did not expect him to be so powerful. He looked at Lan Qi repeatedly in surprise.

“No wonder you have the ability to easily solve the train accident. Fortunately, with the outstanding talents of the empire like you on the train, gangsters can’t continue to run rampant.”

 In other words, since the professor himself has such strength, there is no need to send anyone to protect him.

  Lieutenant Colonel Burke looked at Ranchi suspiciously.

Lanqi's every word is striking and resounding.

Lanci explained step by step, and at the same time took out the official letter from the suitcase and handed it to the two officers.

Lieutenant Colonel Burke only briefly looked at the document with the official seal of St. Creation's Monastery, and then gave it to Nicholas the Kestrel to read in detail.

 Being hired as a professor by this school at a young age, he is naturally highly respected.

 At the mention of St. Creation's Monastery, the surrounding gendarmes immediately stood in awe of Lanci.

 He smiled with surprise and admiration.

Of course this is reasonable.

“Understood, as long as it is work that is beneficial to the empire, I cannot have any complaints.”

"fine."

 “It’s not a big deal, everything is my responsibility and obligation.”

“St. Creation’s Abbey? Mr. Landry, where do you work?”

Originally, Burke was wondering what a man with such a powerful border was doing in the capital, but now that he was convinced that he was the newly appointed professor of St. Creation's Monastery, everything made sense.

Lanci knew that Nicholas was referring to the incident where he almost put his hand on his forehead.

Nicholas nodded with a half-smile, but suddenly the conversation changed.

“By the way, since we are all going to the station hall, why not let’s walk together and chat while walking. Maybe we can hear more of your insights on this incident.”

 He said.

 “Of course, that’s perfect.”

Lan Qi sighed secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm and he readily agreed.

Just like trust does not require a reason, for this Imperial Secret Service Chief, suspicion also does not require a reason.

This falcon-like man will never miss an opportunity to talk to important people.

"Lieutenant Colonel Burke, it seems we have said goodbye. Although we have not known each other for a short time, it is a pleasure to meet you."

 Before leaving, Ranch turned to greet Lieutenant Colonel Burke von Arnold.

 “Goodbye, Mr. Landry, I hope we try not to meet again.”

Lieutenant Colonel Burke also responded with imperial courtesy and said.

After all, it was not a good thing to see him, the gendarmerie brigade commander responsible for the outskirts of the capital.

 Generally he will rush to the scene only when an accident occurs.

And the one who often appears at crime scenes is a troublemaker.

After saying that, Lan Qi followed Nicholas the Kestrel and left the No. 4 carriage.

 “He really didn’t intend to let you go just like that.”

Thalia was also chatting with Lan Qi in her mind.

 “Just take it for a ride.”

Lanqi communicated with her. Originally, the time might not be so tight. After all, compared to Magic Navigation, Magic Rail trains are rarely delayed.

However, due to the train accident, it was stalled for a long time in the Langar Mountains outside the capital, and the subsequent investigation by the Imperial Special Operations Division was unable to get off the train. Now if I look carefully, it is already past three in the afternoon.

 He needs to report to school today, which means he needs to get to school before five o'clock.

Take Nikolai's car there, even though you have to chat with him all the way, it is also more convenient.

But Thalia no longer had the previous nervousness, and now her tone of mind was much more relaxed, as if she was lying on her side on the sofa watching a play.

While speaking, the two of them had already passed through the door of the magic rail train and the bustling crowd, stepped onto the platform, and walked towards the station hall.

This first station in Brilda is one of the busiest hubs in the empire. It has a towering dome, continuous arches, and the marble floor reflects the hurried coming and going of passengers. In the windows on both sides, there are dazzling products and colorful billboards. The slogans are all enthusiastic to attract customers.

 “Is this the first time Professor Landry comes to Brilliant?”

Kestrel Nicholas asked casually while walking leisurely.

“Of course, how did Your Excellency Nicholas see it?”

Lanqi looked away from the top of the station and looked at the young secret service officer beside him and asked.

 “Because you are very interested in this building. It seems to me that you have never been here before.”

Nicholas replied,

“I saw Professor Landry’s employment letter saying that you are an expert in magic engineering. I didn’t expect that you have attainments and understanding in architecture.”

The station is located in the Duke of Osseta Square in the city of Brilda. It was built in 1664 of the solar calendar and was designed by the half-demon imperial craftsman Ulti Stezzini. Due to reconstruction and municipal planning issues at the time, it was fully used. It took more than ten years to complete and put into use.

Today there are 26 platforms, with about 300,000 passengers and 500 trains arriving and departing every day, and about 110 million passengers use it every year. Its huge steel structure vault is the largest steel structure vault in the southern continent, all in the continent. It is the only train station to be referred to as First Station, which shows that all train stations in the southern continent recognize the leadership and architectural influence of Brilda First Station.

Nicolas could probably understand that the young man with black hair and blue eyes just looked at him as if he had seen something of interest.

Of course, there is another kind of person who would also show such a look at the central building of the empire, but he would not be as straightforward and unabashed as this young man with black hair and blue eyes.

“Indeed, I know a little bit about architectural design.”

Lan Qi said with a smile.

Just like this, you and I were chatting back and forth. In a blink of an eye, the two of them had passed through the wide central hall of the station and walked straight towards the exit.

The moment they stepped out of the station, the bright sunshine instantly shone on the two of them, like a long-lost warmth.

 The footsteps of the crowd became melodious and brisk.

 Lanci took a deep breath of the slightly dry and refreshing autumn air in the capital Brilda.

 Finally arrived at the heart of the empire.

 The first step of his work was successfully completed.

The surrounding high-rise buildings are looming in the hazy halo, and the towering ancient clock tower stands proudly in the distance, and the bells ringing the hour are melodious and long.

“Phew, I can finally breathe some fresh air. There are so many pests in the empire that I feel like everything under the buildings is filthy.”

Nicholas raised his hand and gently pressed the brim of his hat, speaking in a relaxed tone.

“Chief Nikolai is humble. With a capable minister like you, the empire will one day clear away all the dark corners.”

Lan Qi praised from the sidelines.

"I hope so."

Nicholas snorted meaningfully,

“I believe that with Mr. Landry’s ability and awareness, we will have many opportunities to work together in the future. Well, please come with me.”

 He motioned for Ranchi to follow him to their unit's vehicle parking area.

Lanci didn't answer any more, but briefly looked at the ancient and prosperous capital of Brilda, with a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes, and followed him.

The clock tower behind seems to have become yesterday. With the low and long ringing of the bell, a new day begins.

Just when they had not taken a few steps, a clear female voice suddenly sounded not far away.

 “Is this Professor Landry Wassington?”

 This voice attracted the attention of Lan Qi and Nicholas.

The two of them looked around and saw a girl in a dark blue formal dress bowing to salute Lan Qi.

Her long black hair was pulled into a neat bun on the side of her head, and the corners of her mouth were curved in a gentle and gentle way.

 “That’s right…”

Lan Qi replied slightly puzzled.

What surprised Lan Qi was that the woman's left leg and right arm were both mechanical prostheses made of metal, glowing cold silver in the sun, and her left eye was also covered with a delicate half-eye patch. Covered, the straps extend all the way to the back of the head, blending into the hair.

“I am Naila, Principal Violet’s secretary. I have been waiting for you for a long time.”

 The woman in formal attire introduced herself.

“The school actually asked you to pick me up. I’m really flattered.”

Lan Qi pretended to be surprised.

"No, this is the etiquette that St. Creation's Monastery should do. Moreover, after hearing that there was an accident on the train, the college is worried that the information has been leaked. Seeing that you are safe and sound, the principal can rest assured for the time being."

Secretary Naira said confidently.

 “Of course you can rest assured.”

Lan Qi said helplessly.

Even though he said this, he already knew it in his heart.

 —The news may have really leaked within the academy.

 Otherwise, Allied spy Unity would not have received the order to assassinate and seize Landry's information.

But even if he knew, he could only pretend not to know, because according to his explanation to the military, he, Landry, and the Allied female killer were absolute enemies, and it was impossible to have any conversation.

“In other words, there may be people in the college who want Landry dead, I don’t know for what purpose?”

Thalia listened to Lan Qi’s heart and said to Lan Qi.

 But how was the Allied spy Unity on the train exposed?

Co-author There are also people in the Allied Forces who want to harm Unity?

She felt confused.

Now it seems that the "original Landry" young man does seem to be a bit unusual.

It turned out that not only the Allies, but also people within the empire wanted him dead.

 Now for those people, the good news is that the real Landry is dead, and the bad news is that there is a fake Landry.

“I can’t deduce the cause and effect. I can only say that under the surface of the accident, multiple parties with different agendas started fighting.”

Lan Qi couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he could only take one step at a time.

 Fortunately, his goal is relatively pure.

Next, as long as you keep your integrity and be a good teacher, you can successfully carry out espionage work.

 Although it deviates from the initial expectations, St. Creation's Monastery, as a very important institution of the empire, is also a good internal entry point.

If his journey to the empire is the last chapter of his journey of struggle, then it is naturally best to start with the academy and end with the academy, just like the beginning.
