Chapter 576: The painting that Lan Qi wanted to show to Hyperion
Six days later.
On the west side of Demon King City, in the magnificent manor of McCarthy on the Isle of Leith, when the sky was still dark blue, Lan Qi started his new day.
His bedroom is on the top floor of the mansion, a gorgeously decorated and well-furnished room. In addition to the sound of the waves outside the window, there is also the childish voice of the bedside cat boss.
“Today is the twenty-eighth day since you came to this shadow world.”
“The news from the neighboring Bliss Kingdom front and the Paulant Empire is not optimistic.”
“And as a little Lanqi, the only thing you can do is to use your attraction to complete your mission in the devil world.”
The cat boss started today’s broadcast again.
“Okay Boss Cat, I understand.”
Lanci gently pressed Boss Cat’s head, walked on the carpet, passed through the spacious bedroom, and came to the closet near the entrance.
Choose clothes carefully.
Finally, he chose a dark gray Protos-style suit, with a silver pattern embroidered on the tie. It was perfectly tailored and looked both formal and solemn.
“Salute to the legendary seal master Askosan, this dark gray coat is really nice.”
Lan Qi’s slightly smiling face was reflected in the mirror, and his eyes shone with determination and desire for today’s goal.
“Meow, he probably doesn’t want to be greeted by you.”
The cat boss jumped to Lan Qi's feet and looked at his appearance. He felt that Lan Qi's glowing demon posture and Askosang's style of dressing really looked like a cardinal.
It's a pity that Lan Qi is still too far away from a true cardinal-level figure.
“He has no problem with it.”
Ranchi commented.
…”
The cat boss didn’t want to take Lan Qi’s words anymore.
It only cared about the scoreboard of the three of them again, poking at it from time to time.
【Popularity: 276→565/1000 (popular support rate and cohesion)】
【House: 227→176/1000 (support rate of high-level officials within the Pollant Empire)】
【Military strength: 124→182/1000 (using the Horning Empire as a reference)】
【Finance: 236→323/1000 (the current productivity status of the Paulant Empire)】
【Diplomacy: 115→232/1000 (diplomatic relations with the demon world and surrounding countries that have not yet surrendered)】
【Comprehensive odds of winning: 0.0013%】
The cat boss has to stare at it several times every day for fear of falling.
With Lan Qi’s unremitting efforts, the odds of winning have finally come to numbers.
But it is still far away from 1%, and even this distance makes it feel desperate.
Since Lan Qi left the Polante Empire, the [popular sentiment] is still rising, and the rate of growth is getting faster and faster.
The item [House of Representatives] is still falling slowly.
Perhaps because of the extremely successful diplomacy of the orc city-states, each city-state added a full [Diplomacy] of about 20.
At the same time, it seems that due to diplomacy and the formation of a concerted alliance, the alliance's [Military Strength] and [Finance] have been improved.
Since Lan Qi himself has not yet revealed in the Demon World that he belongs to the Paulante Empire and the anti-vampire forces, the connections he has obtained in the Demon World are not yet settled in [Diplomacy].
Twenty-eight days have passed in total of forty-five days in the Shadow World. This progress makes Boss Cat worried.
Success or failure can be said to be today!
“Lan Qi Meow, we must rescue Xiubao!”
The little black cat warned.
Today's royal ceremony will be about Hyperion's freedom.
In addition to the large demons in the current demon world who will compete for the royal family's fiancée, the tenth ancestor of the blood clan, Marquis Ulisses, also wants to intervene and want to marry off the remaining royal family of the demon clan.
The grand ceremony does not require painting on the spot. The time and performance of painting on the spot are difficult to predict. Qing Luo wants the great demons to choose the occasion they like to paint on their own and just hand it in before the grand ceremony is finalized. Submit the paintings to the Regent Hall of the Royal Palace. The sealed gold cabinet on the first floor was opened and faired by her fallen minister in today's ceremony, allowing the princess to openly choose her favorite paintings. Now it can be said that the sound has been finalized, and the ceremony will come to an end just waiting for the results to be announced in a ceremony.
When the princess looked at the painting, she did not know who painted it.
This is a blind audition.
At that time, Lord Fallen will naturally determine who the magic power on the painting belongs to, and determine the time when the painting will be completed based on the nature of the magic power.
“Don’t worry, I will try my best to draw this time.”
Lanqi picked up the little black cat on the ground and said to it confidently.
"Meow meow."
The cat boss knew that Lan Qi had locked himself in his room most of the time this week, except for necessary meetings with the powerful figures in the demon world.
But it did not see what Lanci drew specifically.
After the painting was completed, he sealed the painting and, with the help and guidance of the ministers with whom he had a close personal relationship, he sent it directly to the sealed gold cabinet located in the Regency Hall on the first floor of the palace.
According to what he said, he wanted Hyperion to see it first.
Although the cat boss has seen Lan Qi's paintings, he was taken away by Lan Qi before he could examine them carefully in the Northern Continent. In the Southern Continent, he didn't even dare to authenticate them and ran away. This time he wants to take a good look at Lan Qi's creation. What grade is the artwork?
If it is a work of art, it is full of confidence in the evil boy Lan Qi. In such a short construction period, as long as the big demons and the tenth ancestor do not create a sacred-level work of art, it believes that Lan Qi will win!
One person and one cat walked downstairs. In the huge dining room, breakfast in the McCarthy Palace Restaurant was already ready.
Lanci sat down at the dining table next to the floor-to-ceiling glass, thinking about his upcoming schedule. He occasionally looked through the window at the deep purple sky of the eclipse and the dull sea.
Today, due to the visit of the ancestor of the blood race, the Demon King City Nekalis also opened the barrier sky.
Of course, the main venue for royal ceremonies is held in the Nekalis Palace. For the vampires, even in the daytime, there is no difference in a solid indoor, let alone the Demon Realm Palace with a protective barrier.
Not long after, Lan Qi finished his breakfast. He put down the tableware, wiped the corners of his mouth with a square towel, straightened his tie, stood up and took the coat handed to him by the butler.
Before dawn outside the window, the sun's path has been blocked by the blood moon, the light on the eastern horizon has become hazy, and the entire Demon King's City seems to have fallen into twilight.
Just as Lan Qi walked to the door of the palace lobby and was about to open the door and leave, he heard the sound of soft footsteps behind him, and Lan Qi turned around.
Sigre, still wearing a nightcap and bleary-eyed, ran over to see him off.
“Bon voyage, Rocky.”
She rubbed her eyes and shook her little hands.
Sigre has turned into a demon using a card-like mysterious magic prop that Lan Qi gave her.
Looks like a pure wolf demon.
“Can you please help me look after the house?”
Lanci said to her.
Sigre was silent for a while.
"I feel that today is very dangerous... Two terrible vampires have come to the Demon Realm King's capital... You have to be careful."
Sigre's sleepiness gradually dissipated, and her eyes became obviously uncomfortable and worried. Although she didn't want to wrinkle Lan Qi's ironed coat, she still gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Cunning vampires often don’t just come here for a visit.
They have unlimited and sufficient capital to gamble and fill their pride and desires that can never be satisfied.
She remembered that last time, on an ordinary and comfortable day, she said goodbye to her father early like this. She thought that her father would come back very early, bring her gifts, play with her, and tell her stories.
That was also the last time she saw her father.
“I understand, thank you.”
Lanqi squatted down, looked at her and said.
"come back earlier."
She nodded.
Lan Qi smiled at her, waved goodbye to her, and walked out of the mansion.
There is still a chapter to be finished, so try to finish it before twelve o'clock
(End of this chapter)
