Chapter 515 - 490: Lanci’s Travelogue - Joy to the Royal Capital_1

One month later, in the Hutton Kingdom.

As the Magic Power Rail Train came to a stop, the scenery outside the window gradually came to a standstill. The doors opened to reveal a station, its roof constructed from reddish-brown bricks.

"We’re here!"

Antanas’s cheerful voice and footsteps echoed across the platform of Ichrite Central Station.

Two towering towers at either end made the Central Station a spectacular sight. The marble pillars, murals, and stained glass windows all showcased a thick sense of history. This was a style they had never seen in the Protoss Empire.

After a long journey of over a month, they had traveled to the southern coast of the Protoss Empire by train, then met up with Hyperion to cross the sea by boat. Afterwards, they traversed several nations on the South Continent, finally arriving from the northern border of the Hutton Kingdom into Capital City Ekrite.

She couldn’t wait to see her friend Talia.

"Alright, you’ve all worked hard on the journey, let’s get you back to your accommodations."

Lanci counted the number of people on the platform and said to them.

"...."

Hyperion didn’t find the journey tiring at all. In fact, she had been on vacation for half a year, but she just didn’t dare to say it out loud.

Moreover, the trip back was even more enjoyable for her.

They started as two people and a cat, but now they were two people, three demons, a cat, and a fox.

Most of the time, Mr. Pranay would accompany Lanci, while Antanas and Sinola would play with her on the cruise ship. Even though the two Great Demon Clan members were a generation older than her, there was no generation gap or distance when they interacted. They treated her more like a close friend than a niece.

"Meow meow meow, I miss home!"

Cat boss tumbled around in Antanas’s hands.

Cat boss got along best with Antanas and spent most of his time being held by him.

Looking at his three friends from the North Continent who had already become familiar, Cat boss felt incredibly satisfied and happy.

Lanci had brought back three elites from the Protoss Empire, the enthusiastic and diligent Antanas, the dignified and gentle Sinola, and the steady and talented Pranay. Cat boss loved each one of them!

The key was that they all respected him, treating him like a National Guardian Beast, which surprised him!

Though he was indeed powerful as a Seventh-order, he didn’t think he deserved such treatment!

The more Cat boss thought about it, the more delighted he felt.

"Phew."

Seeing Cat boss this happy, Lanci also felt happy.

The Hutton Kingdom was too peaceful and stable. Antanas felt that the king had become lazy since returning. No wonder he told Huberian that he would definitely help her save Duke Migaya and then rely on the Duke’s family to support him in his old age.

She then looked out the window again. Vehicles drove across the winding canal with the spring breeze, and the rippling water reflected the shadows of swaying branches.

"..."

Huberian lowered her head, bewildering the demons around as to what she was thinking or observing.

She felt that Lanci’s words were mainly a joke back then. But thinking about it now, it seemed he really didn’t have any desire for power and could readily give up the achievements of the Protoss Empire.

If Lanci wanted a tranquil life, then she wouldn’t mind supporting him. But she felt somewhat unseemly changing their cordial relationship into something that sounded akin to patronage.

However, the more she recalled her first encounter with Lanci in the Northern Continent and how he was led around by the nose by the bad woman from the Hegemony Branch, the more she felt that she would rather support Lanci herself than let him have contact with those women who might lead him astray.

During the minutes of silence, the scenery outside the car window involuntarily changed into a bustling commercial district. They passed various cafes, restaurants, bars, and shops, with the broad avenues increasingly filled with the bustling atmosphere of people’s daily lives.

"Is the public order in ’Ekrite’ so stable?"

Pranay had been observing that this place was particularly civilized and friendly. Vehicles would automatically take the initiative to yield to pedestrians and maintain order to such an extent that one could hardly find any police on the streets.

In contrast, in Herram City humans and all kinds of mixed races lived together, full of uncertainties. They might run into an out-of-control Alchemical beast on the underground magic power rail, and chaos, crime, and violence could erupt at any moment.

"Pranay, do you know how good the security is around Ekrite?"

The Cat boss raised a paw, its expression that of a senior questioning him.

"What’s the matter?"

Before Pranay could speak, Antanas who was holding the Cat boss, asked confusedly.

"Take the wild wolves outside the city as an example. Many years ago, they were always starving and it was common for them to attack passing merchant caravans."

The Cat boss quoted an example.

"And now?"

Antanas remembered that they also didn’t see any high-security barriers set by the farmers on the outskirts of Ekrite when they were on the magic power rail train. There were only ordinary fences, not at all a preparation against ferocious wild wolves.

"Nowadays, residents of the city often go out to feed the wild wolves various delicacies. They are practically fattening them up."

The Cat boss shook his head as if lamenting the state of the world.

"Consequently, they’ve completely lost their aggressiveness towards humans and will even approach them affectionately for food."

"Pfft."

Lanci couldn’t help laughing from the side.

Pranay was the first to glance at Lanci and then instantaneously shifted his gaze elsewhere, pretending not to understand anything at all.
