Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 832 Lan Qi is almost overwhelmed by rumors

In a corner of the bustling banquet hall of the main hall, Landry stared at the two girls intently.

Ursula, who was usually arrogant and domineering at all times, looked extremely fragile at this moment. Even the soft-hearted Elsa looked stronger than her.

Staring at her, Lanqi recalled the time when he first met Ursula.

Ursula once wanted to cause trouble for him in class, but his skills were so solid that the students were more convinced of him.

At that time, she was not so uneasy at all, like a frightened bird.

Not far away, the air around the Ninth Military God, Amethyst Ryan, also became much heavier and colder.

"Excuse me, what do you want from my sister?"

Marquis Ryan looked directly at Lanqi and asked.

The aura coming from the God of War alone was enough to make the dignitaries watching the show around them feel weak in the knees, and they subconsciously avoided him as if they were escaping.

It seemed that Marquis Ryan was not only dissatisfied with the professor, but also tolerated the dignitaries around him who were watching the fun.

"According to the charter of Saint Cremon Monastery, today the professors of the monastery should send the Moon Goddess' blessing for the academic year to the students, so that they can be protected by the Silver Moon and the Goddess of Healing and complete their studies safely and healthily in the new year."

Only Landry was not affected by the Ninth Military God Ryan at all. He looked at Ryan again and saluted him after he finished talking to his students.

That was the standard imperial greeting for the Viscount to the Marquis.

"orchid……"

Ursula hadn't come to her senses yet. She had never thought that Landry was so brave that he dared to stand in front of the God of War and was not affected by the pressure of the eighth-level strongest man.

The most important thing is that Landry was not just caring about Elsa, but was actually standing in front of her and giving her the unattainable blessing.

But seeing her brother Ryan's chilling expression, Ursula nervously grabbed Landry's gray coat, signaling him not to interfere in the Roland family's troubles, so as not to involve both him and Elsa.

"You and Elsa can go over there and have some snacks and enjoy the Luna Festival school celebration. Don't be nervous. I will communicate with your parents about your academic performance and school performance."

Lanci said to her, while also telling Elsa to take Ursula away.

Elsa nodded in understanding, took Ursula's hand and walked away.

Ursula had always been protecting her, and now it was her turn to take care of Ursula.

"Okay, Marquis Ryan, if you have any questions about Ursula's time at St. Cremorne Monastery, you can ask me, the professor, instead of putting too much pressure on a minor."

Lanqi said to the Ninth Military God, Amethyst Ryan.

In fact, later, Lanqi talked to Elsa and learned about Ursula's family situation.

The Roland family was the most prominent family in the Seros Empire long before the birth of the Cremon Empire.

The creed of the old Seros Empire seemed to be aimed only at the people of the Empire, but in fact it contained the poison of racial discrimination.

They flaunted the superiority of the nobles of the Seros Empire, denounced the inferiority of other races, upheld the honor of the upper class, and despised the lowliness of the lower class.

All things are not created equal, the law of the jungle is the eternal law.

After the establishment of the Cretan Empire, which was based on the Seros Empire, it was precisely under the guidance of such underlying cultural beliefs that the Bloodbath Day broke out twenty years ago, when the angry people indiscriminately burned and killed the nobles who oppressed them.

The Roland family of the Ryan brothers and sisters experienced that riot, and their foundation was severely damaged and on the verge of bankruptcy.

Witnessing that horrific bloodbath undoubtedly left young Ryan with indelible psychological trauma, but Ursula, who was born later, did not experience all of this.

The brother and sister grew up relying on each other. As the eldest son, Ryan shouldered too heavy a mission. It was only with Ryan's personal ability and hard work that the family was brought back to life. This is why Marquis Ryan can become the head of the family now. For Ursula, Ryan is both a brother and a father, who has given her too much protection and a sense of security since she was a child.

Even though she was terrified, the memories inside her drove Ursula to face Ryan.

"I have no problem with a waste like her. Besides, no matter how useless she is, this is our Roland family's family affair. It is not the turn of outsiders to point fingers."

Marquis Ryan looked around and spoke grimly.

He had just returned from the front line and had not paid much attention to the professor who had recently become famous in the capital of the empire. He had only heard of him.

After hearing the other party claiming to be Ursula's teacher, Ryan also guessed the identity of the Gray Professor.

But this has nothing to do with Ryan Roland. No matter who the other party is, he cannot tolerate anyone interfering at this time.

"St. Clement's Abbey doesn't allow professors to help students?"

Lanqi asked,
"Besides, your eyes are clearly full of contempt. Can you be considered family?"

His words were rarely sharp.

"..."

Ryan's face changed slightly, and all the guests present shuddered.

"Ursula!"

He opened his mouth and shouted in the direction of Ursula who was running away.

Ursula's body trembled, she paused, and slowly turned her head.

"Why, do you want to marry this man? Or have you been brainwashed by him and regard him as your new brother? It seems that the last bit of your loyalty to the family has been exhausted, along with the shame you never had."

Marquis Ryan asked Ursula coldly.

"..."

Ursula's face turned pale instantly, and her trembling lips could no longer utter a single word.

She wanted to escape from this place of trouble immediately.

It seems my brother has really changed.

Ursula thought desperately.

Tears flowed uncontrollably, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto the hem of her skirt, leaving a trail of water marks.

"Ursula..."

Elsa looked at Ursula worriedly, just wanting to take her away quickly.

As Ursula sank into the mire, Landry's voice once again broke the silence.

"What did my students do wrong to be treated like this?"

Lanci asked Marquis Ryan.

"Lord Landry Wasington, if you continue to make trouble here, I will either accuse you of trying to control the families of high-ranking military officials in the Imperial Military Court, or simply challenge you to a traditional duel in Cyros for insulting the nobility."

Marquis Ryan did not make any movement, but his eyes seemed to have already seen the enemy on the battlefield and could execute him at any time.

Although the nobles around could see that Ryan would not really lower his status to challenge Professor Landry to a duel, if Landry did not surrender and beg for mercy at this time, then his life might really be at stake.

This is like a game. Ryan has unlimited chips, while Landry has only limited chips, so Ryan can force Landry into a dilemma as long as he keeps putting pressure on him.

"Have you heard of Pizza Hut in the South Continent? This is the first time I've heard of someone wanting to sue me."

When Lanqi heard Ryan's words, he became more excited.

As for the Ceros-style duel, although it may result in life or death, its essence is to stop at the right time. According to the tradition of the imperial aristocracy, if there is no winner after three minutes, it will end in reconciliation.

Professor Landry's uncompromising attitude obviously surprised the other dignitaries.

They knew that Professor Landry's rank might not be low, but compared with the Empire's God of War, there was still a huge gap in terms of the living beings.

In fact, many people want to see Professor Landry, the mysterious professor of St. Clement's Monastery, take action. But if the final battle happens today, it would be too sudden for people to be prepared.

"..."

Naira's secretary who came with Ranchi also looked sideways.

Landry has never been a person who likes to stir up trouble, and she could tell that the first time they met.

But he really values ​​his students, and he would never back down even if he had to challenge the God of War.

Generally speaking, even if it is for the sake of protecting students, confronting a powerful person like Marquis Ryan head-on is too rash and can easily lead to unnecessary trouble.

Finally, Naira discovered that although the professor seemed to be indifferent to the world, he had many secrets that were hard to guess, but his passionate and sincere heart was not fake, which was why Naira favored him during this period.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became tense.

The nobles could not help whispering to each other, expressing their confusion at Landry's behavior.

Ursula's reckless behavior has always been a disgrace to the Roland family, and even outsiders like them have never asked about it. Landry Wasington is just a declining nobleman. Even if he has made some achievements now, it is unwise for him to challenge the authority of the supreme Twelve Gods of War, Marquis Ryan Roland, in public.

"Could it be that Landry also has feelings for Miss Ursula?"

"After all, Landry doesn't mind anything. This kind of daughter with a bad reputation might be just what he wants."

"He already has so many fiancées, it wouldn't be surprising if he had more. Putting aside Ursula's terrible personality, she is a good choice in terms of both appearance and talent."

Malicious rumors spread, and most people present did not take Ursula seriously.

More and more eyes were attracted to them.

The lightning-fast confrontation between Marquis Ryan and Viscount Landry caused the sound of swallowing saliva to rise and fall.

If these two people really quarreled with each other, the situation might get out of hand and even alarm Duke Dax and Saint Bardo the Great.

"Ryan, don't do this!"

Just when the deadlock was difficult to resolve, the indigo-haired young man squeezed out of the crowd, staggered over and said to the Ninth Military God, Ryan of Amethyst.

"Professor Landry, don't mind this guy. He always says things that are not in line with his heart because he cares about his sister. Just leave him to me."

The indigo-haired young man waved at Landry apologetically.

"..."

Lanqi looked at the uninvited guest.

The man was tall and wore a long cloak that looked like wings. The cloak fluttered gently, emitting a faint light of light blue and white, as if it was a fragment peeled off from the clouds in the sky.

The ends of his cloak were shaped like angel wings, and every time the breeze fluttered, people would mistakenly think that he was about to fly. His light steps were almost unrestrained by gravity, and were as free as feathers drifting in the wind.

Her face is young and full of vitality, with a refreshing indigo short hair that gleams faintly and dances in the wind.

Secretary Naira beside Ranchi was very surprised.

Just like I didn't expect to see this person here -

The Diamond Seat of the First God of War, Hyacinthus.

If they were not acquainted with him, many residents of the empire who passed by him might not realize that he was the strongest hero protecting the country and the leader of the twelve military gods of the Krewe Empire.

"Hecintos...why are you here?"

Ryan frowned as he looked at Hecintos who came to stop him.

"Violet asked me to come. You know, I couldn't not come to Saint Creole's Monastery to bless Violet during the Luna Festival. She and I have known each other for almost twenty years."

Hecintos stared at Ryan and said seriously.

The entire sky seemed to be reflected in those clear eyes, deep and bright, revealing an indescribable firmness and confidence.

He was both trying to dissuade Ryan and telling him that if Ryan still wanted to embarrass the professor of St. Clement's Monastery and cause conflicts within the empire, then he would definitely stop Ryan.

"..."

Ryan, the Ninth Military God of Amethyst, knew that the appearance of Helicintos here basically meant that the dispute was over.

"Hacintos, why did you become the god of war?" Ryan was silent for a while and suddenly asked this question.

Just like Ryan was always confused about Hecintos's behavior.

"You saw me being scolded by Saint Bardo again earlier, and he asked me the same question."

Hecintos obviously didn't understand why Ryan asked him this.

"This is not the first or second time you've been reprimanded for your decision-making. You're not decisive at all."

Ryan questioned bluntly.

In his opinion, even if the ambitious and reckless Tenth God of War Julius of Ruby was the commander, he would be more like a god of war than a guy like Hecintus.

"…What? Is this a test from Saint Bardo? Oh, or are you looking for an excuse to get rid of me? "

Hecintos looked at Ryan with horror, as if he had realized something.

"Do not."

Ryan's expression changed slightly and he shook his head.

He felt a bit headache talking to Hecintus.

Sometimes I just wanted to satirize Hecintus, but Hecintus never felt attacked at all.

"I don't want to waste my energy on you. To be honest, apart from your character, your strength is unquestionable."

Ryan raised his hand slightly, no longer planning to compete with Professor Landry. He decided to just call it a day today and pretend that they had never met.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

Hecintos clapped his hands and laughed, also thanking Ryan for giving him face.

"..."

Seeing that Hecintus didn't understand the hidden meaning and was still happily expressing his gratitude, Ryan was silent for a while.

"Forget it. I can't reason with you. If I could beat you, I would definitely challenge you like Julius did. Unfortunately, I am not like Julius who has no clear understanding of my own strength."

Ryan didn't plan to talk to Hecintus any more, so he looked towards the exit of the banquet hall and prepared to leave.

"It's okay. It's my fault. I acted too unreliable, haha..."

Seeing the other party's speechless eyes, Hecintos smiled cheerfully.

Hecintos chatted with Ryan for a few more words, then took him goodbye, turning back to signal that Professor Landry and the other two were fine.

The blue and white coat was draped over Hecintus’ slender figure, the silver pattern looking like flowing water, and his trousers were also stitched in black and white, making them completely different from the other guests present.

"Thank you, Lord Hecintus."

Ursula and Elsa quickly bowed and thanked him.

Lanqi also bowed slightly in greeting.

"no big deal."

The First God of War Hecintus looked towards the distant second-floor corridor, where the figure of the High Priestess Violet had disappeared.
"Even if I don't take action, Violet won't just sit there and watch. I'm scared just thinking about the two of them arguing."

He explained to everyone.

"Was Principal Violet up there just now?"

Naira asked Hecintos.

"Of course, she came with me. If I didn't show up, she would definitely come down. She won't let Ryan go."

Hecintus said with a headache.

"So that's it."

Naira's gaze followed the direction of the second floor.

As the secretary of Principal Violet, Nara was very familiar with the friendship between the First Military God Hecintos and the Sixth Military God Violet. They had been friends from an orphanage for many years, and no one had expected that they would later become the hero and high priest of the empire respectively.

"Enjoy the festival! Forget about the troubles that just happened!"

Hecintus waved his hand and wished them well, as if he didn't want to stay and disturb them any longer.

"Goodbye."

"Thank you for your help today, Mr. Hecintos."

"Hum~"

Hecintus hummed a little tune and left in another direction, disappearing in the crowd.

The dignitaries who were watching around gradually dispersed, and people started moving around again, no longer sticking to one place. It seemed that it would be neither fun to watch nor polite to stay here.

The only thing they didn't expect was that it was Hecintus who came forward to solve the problem in the end. Fortunately, the first military god Hecintus was here today.

"Lord Hecintus is of such a character."

Secretary Nara said to Elsa and Ursula who were still a little dazed. This was probably the first time they came into contact with the legendary first god of war, Helicintus.

"But generally speaking he is an approachable person, yet extremely powerful, so everyone trusts him."

She preached to the three of them.

"It's really strong."

Lanqi nodded and agreed.

"Hey, Professor Landry, can you actually feel it?"

Ursula asked Ranch curiously.

At this moment, her expression seemed to be clearing up after the rain, and she returned to her previous heartless self.

Surviving a disaster unexpectedly made her feel refreshed, or perhaps after seeing it with her own eyes, she let it go.

Recognize the reality that your brother is under mental control and stop dwelling on lucky fantasies and past memories.

Anyway, she has Professor Landry to help her.

In this professor, she felt something she had not felt for a long time, something she had only felt in the former Marquis Ryan.

"Ah."

Lanci replied to Ursula.

He knew what Ursula meant, and the same was true for him. Due to the huge gap between him and the First Military God Diamond Seat Hecintus, he had no idea how strong or weak this man was.

But the aura that can be faintly felt from him is probably only comparable to that of Pope Saint Spirit in the shadow world.

Of course, this does not refer to Pope Saint Polante in his prime.

But apart from Pope Saint Polante, Lanqi couldn't think of any other creature with similar feelings.

"You kid, you are not very strong, are you? You always pretend to be weak."

Ursula squinted and looked at him.

Ever since she last went to the Brillda Mafia's territory, she saw Professor Landry fighting a sixth-level vampire viscount on equal terms as if it was a fake match. She guessed that Professor Landry's strength was unknown. This guy looked like a habitual offender who used to fight dirty and tease his opponents. How strong he actually is, perhaps only when he is really in desperate situation can we see.

Even though she had just heard some nobles spreading rumors about her and Professor Landry, she never cared about reputation and knew Landry's character very well, so she didn't mind what others said.

"As expected of Brother Landry."

Elsa exclaimed.

As Ursula said at this moment, her brother was a little too omnipotent.

She often had illusions, suspecting that the brother in front of her was an angel who had replaced her brother to protect her. He always felt strange, yet so trustworthy that it was hard to doubt his good intentions.

"Don't flatter me."

Lanqi quickly denied what they said.

"I'm sorry if I offended your family, Ursula."

But seeing that Ursula was acting as carefree as before, Lanqi still smiled.

She seems to have recovered.

"..."

Ursula shook her head and looked at Lanqi with complicated eyes.

"Thank you, Professor Landry."

She said in a light and sincere voice.

"I will make your brother return to his former self."

Lanci assured her.

Ursula pursed her lips and lowered her head, naturally understanding what Landry meant.

To others, it might sound like he was trying to help her repair the relationship between her siblings, but in reality, only she and Elsa could understand that Landry might be doing something very dangerous.

But Ursula had already thanked him once, and she was too embarrassed to say it a second time.

"I will also help you protect your sister."

Ursula could only respond as she held Elsa's hand instead.

"Thank you, Ursula. You are both the most worry-free sisters."

Lanci nodded in thanks.

With Ursula, a little bully of the same age, around, there is no need to worry about Elsa's safety or even her mood, and no one will bother her.

"I'm not your sister..."

Ursula muttered as if correcting Lankey's statement.

But as she spoke, she tried hard to suppress her smile.

"But professor, you have so many scandals. How many sisters-in-law do you have?"

Before Landry could notice her expression, Ursula changed the subject and whispered something.

Elsa also nodded solemnly, showing great concern about the issue.

"What the hell?"

Lanqi asked back in astonishment.

Could it be that the rumor that should have been self-defeating has started again?

"It's like this... They say you didn't even let your mother-in-law and sister-in-law go, and you wanted to turn their spouses into black, straight-haired beauties and include them in your harem. You didn't mind taking anyone from grumpy old ladies to young girls who were just beginning to fall in love, including women who were almost old enough to be your mother, and even married women..."

Elsa also lowered her voice and told her brother the story secretly.

"what?"

Lanqi was petrified after hearing this.
