Chapter 319 - 306 Lanci Begins to Let Go of Himself_1

With a light jolt, the passengers in the carriage understood that they had arrived at Rock Intersection Station, and the Magic Power Rail Train was slowly coming to a halt.

Outside the window, the grand auditorium of the station gradually loomed into view.

The station’s hall was spacious and brightly lit, with a transparent glass ceiling that let in the faint natural light. On the walls hung the works of local artists, depicting the history and culture of Rock Box Mountain.

Each platform was supported by gigantic stone pillars, which perfectly blended with the body of the station. In the past, trains from the north would often shuttle through the station, connecting the northern city-states with the central and southern parts of Protoss. But now, there were oddly few trains coming into the station, making this bustling station a bit desolate.

Lanci and Sikder stood up from their seats in the carriage, carrying their suitcases.

As they walked down the carriage aisle, they saw several imperial soldiers in uniform patrolling the platform. They were dressed in black uniforms, all holding gleaming weapons in their hands.

Each soldier had an expressionless face, as if they were part of Rock Intersection Station, solemn and resolute.

The merchant passengers seemed a bit uneasy, carefully stepping off the train, trying not to make too much eye contact with the soldiers.

There were two passages from the platform level to the hall level of the station.

Either they transfer to the interchange side or exit the station.

The vast majority of passengers headed for the exit.

Lanci and Sikder walked down the passage of the interchange, noticing fewer and fewer people around them.

Only when they nearly reached the checkpoint did they see the empire soldiers guarding it.

In front of the inspection table, a medium-built military officer with a firm face, the medal on his left chest probably indicating that he was a captain, stood guard. His eyes were sharp, and he was vigilant of every citizen of the empire who appeared.

Lanci and Sikder looked at each other and continued towards the inspection table.

As they approached the captain, he glanced at them with a stern look.

"Name, identity, and destination."

The captain’s voice was low and strong.

"Rocky McCarthy is my companion, Sikder Novia. We are priests from the capital Herram, responsible for assisting the northern division in performing official duties."

Lanci maintained his calm, handing over his and Sikder’s travel documents and credentials, stating nonchalantly.

Although he was prepared for a lack of welcome, he spoke the truth, and the captain should not cause them too many difficulties.

The captain nodded and picked up a magical instrument from the table to check their credentials.

Lanci’s eyebrows furrowed.

"Not only that, a special investigator from the capital came here a few days ago. I don’t know what happened, but the governor of Hezishan Province also dispatched an investigation team to go north for field investigations."

"If the two of you plan to continue north, it would be better not to proceed after reaching Chinston City. The weather is terrible and the terrain is extremely complicated. Without the help of locals, let alone all the other dangers, you could be buried by mountain snow or freeze to death."

The captain seemed to want to avoid touching too deeply on this subject, quickly changing the subject and asking whether the two needed help contacting a place to stay in the city tonight.

He could tell that these two elites from the capital were not weak, and in their locality, they would already be exceptionally excellent and powerful talents.

However, the area ahead on the map was not something that young people could handle.

...

Not lingering at the checkpoint for too long, the two men bid farewell to the captain and walked back towards the hall.

"Scared yet? Be careful, we might get kidnapped together."

Seeing Lanci had been quiet for a while, Sikder joked.

Originally, going north was just Lanci’s whim. Sikder didn’t mind accompanying him according to the original itinerary to catch the infiltrated agents of the Aestheland Kingdom and believers of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny in the Saint of Nirvana’s Xi Bei Province.

Going further north was obviously very dangerous, while the Xi Bei Province was much safer.

Lanci stroked his chin, his expression serious as if contemplating deeply.

"The more chaotic the place, the more it needs me."

Lanci muttered to himself.

"?"

The cat boss lurking in the shadow frowned at Lanci’s words.

Lanci was saying something very righteous.

But to it, it sounded very scary.

It had heard about the things this guy had done in the Cathedral Shadow World.

This guy was a kidnapper himself!

He was always ready to extract people’s organs from the Blood Clan!
