Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 286 - 274: The Person Sigrid Desires Most_1

After hearing Sigrid’s words, Lanci lowered his head to look at the cat boss.

The Cat boss was also looking at him.

Both human and cat stared at each other for a good while, their silence speaking volumes.

The cat boss seemed to have frozen.

Was the speed at which this kid’s teachings were spreading in Xi Nan Province a bit too outrageous? It was like an infectious disease!

"Alright, come see me again when the mission is complete."

Sigrid tapped the armrest with her fingertips, signaling Lanci that he could leave.

Having gained a rather satisfying subordinate, her mood was considerably good today.

Even if Lanci’s current reaction appeared a bit dull and slow, she wouldn’t blame him for it.

However.

Lanci merely stroked the cat boss who had turned into a black statue and looked up at Sigrid.

"Why aren’t you moving?"

Sigrid lightly pursed her thin lips, her eyes narrowing slightly as though she was hiding some displeasure.

"Contact Grand Priest Cain in Xi Nan Province."

Lanci, not intimidated by the Bishop of Hegemony, stared directly at her with an eye as calm as a deep pool.

"..."

Sigrid sat at the end of her private collection room and without saying much to Lanci, she turned to glance towards the side of the room and then quietly took out a card.

This semi-transparent card had a delicate silver line embellishing its edge, with an intricate magic sigil in the center that glimmered with a faint purple glow under the faint light.

The Sixth-order [Super Long-Distance Communication Magic]. Lanci had seen it before when he was at Ichrite Academy and in the act of Adams contacting Knight Commander Juliana.

Sigrid’s fair finger gently tossed the card. The card seemed to have its own life. It drew an arc in the air and crossed half of the room, finally landing precisely on an old cabinet on the side of the room. Unlike the other room decorations, it has a deep bronze color, and a magic equipment of an old style was placed on it.

This was a magic terminal for super long-distance communication. With its help, the stations set up in each province within the Protoss Empire could be contacted and switched, achieving real-time communication far beyond any spell distance.

The moment the card landed, the magic equipment on the cabinet was activated. It began to emit a faint blue light, like a star in the night sky, and a bronze microphone hung on its side.

Sigrid just kept watching Lanci like this.

Although she didn’t like to waste words and pursued efficiency in everything she did, her patience was not unlimited. He should be clear about the consequences of wasting her time.

Asking the grand priest of Xi Nan Province about the Pioneer was something the Bishop of Hegemony had already done. She didn’t think Lanci could ask for any key information through the communication.

Lanci, who was still standing near a cabinet in the distance, was still gently stroking the cat boss with a smile, and it had finally regained some composure.

Listening to the voice of Grand Priest Cain from the microphone, the cat boss felt that he was already beside himself with excitement, an almost irrational sense of euphoria.

It felt like something was about to go wrong!

Lanci had already gotten off to a staggeringly high start in the Hegemony Branch, and now the assessment given to him by the Bishop of Hegemony allowed them to see what efficiency truly looked like!

It didn’t want to become famous alongside Lanci on the Northern Continent!

The guy from South Continent was unknown for over ten years, yet once he came to the Northern Continent, it only took a few days for him to stir up trouble wherever he went!

After hanging up the communication, Sigrid took a helpless breath.

"I have misjudged you, I apologise."

She gently moved her hand, and the Purple [Proof of Rebirth-Hegemony], not yet withdrawn by Lanci, returned to the hands of the Bishop of Hegemony, and was crushed by her.

The cat boss nodded anxiously when it saw this.

It seems that the Bishop of Hegemony would treat this guy as her partner since he was the Pioneer, and wouldn’t let him act as a direct soldier anymore.

After all, a direct soldier has reached the top of his rank.

Any higher would be at the level of a Saint Heir or a Saintess.

For the Cardinal Bishops to accept a Saint Heir or Saintess was no small ceremony. It would bestow great prestige onto an individual, granting rights in the branch second only to the Cardinal Bishops, and granting them the same title as the Bishop himself.

The cat boss had once heard the Rebirth Priest talk about this in the Xi Nan Province. The Bishop of Hegemony had explicitly stated that she would not consider accepting a Saint Heir. Even if she did, she could only accept a Saintess. Moreover, her compatibility with Lanci was too poor. Since ancient times, the Bishop would never choose a disciple who was completely different from him, an untrainable young man.

However.

Sigrid stepped down from her throne. Holding the Proof of the Bishop, she imprinted a brand-new Holy Seal, which shone with a dazzling pink light.

[Certificate of the Saint-Hegemony]

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Grade: Pink Divine]

[Level: 0]

[Effect: Proof of the identity of the Hegemony’s Saint Heir. Up to one can be owned, and can only be issued by the Proof of the Bishop. If the holder slays the Cardinal Bishops, it will upgrade to the Proof of the Bishop, unlock Bishop’s authority, and can imprint Proof of Rebirth that is below the Blue Preciousness grade of Hegemony Branch.]

[Note: Holder, Rocky McCarthy.]

"You are the most perfect Saint of Hegemony that I wanted to meet. I’ve already decided, even if I have to change all my previous rules, I want you to be mine."

Sigrid handed it over to Lanci, without covering up how much she valued him.
