Chapter 343 – Ranchi’s Classic Skin
With the lingering scent of lunch still hovering in the room, Sigrid stood up and gently smoothed the hem of her skirt.
She walked over to the mirror and checked her grooming, her brightened up purple pupils glittering with satisfaction and relief.
Ranch did not walk, still sitting at the small round table, seemingly lost in some sort of thought.
Mist drifted from the teacup in his hand, and his fingers gently tapped on the tabletop, that gaze seeming to look through the window and see the snowy plains in the distance.
And between the two of them, Boss Cat walked back and forth, his tail high in the air, like a vibrant flag, urging the two of them to leave on time.
“Boss Cat, don’t separate from me again for the rest of the way.”
Ranchi reminded as he gazed down at Boss Cat on the ground.
It wasn’t that far away from the Snow Plains Province now, but it was getting more and more dangerous accordingly.
Ranchi’s next attempt to use the [Ultra Long Distance Communication Magic] that Boss Cat was carrying to directly contact those lords in the Snow Plains Province was still far from enough, and he would have to go over the mountain ranges and travel a bit further in the direction of the Snow Plains Province before he could do so.
The limit of [Ultra Long Distance Communication Magic] is only a few tens of kilometers when there is no relay.
If one wanted to communicate over longer distances, one would need to use a terminal with a switching facility set up.
As in the case of Ikarite Academy, when Adams from the academic visiting team of the Kingdom of Aroland wanted to contact Knight Commander Juliana in the Kingdom of Aroland from the Sage Academy, he needed to put the [Ultra Long Distance Communication Magic] card into the terminal provided by Ikarite Academy, and then go through the many relay stations set up by the Kingdom Joint Council in the southern continent before he could complete the cross-country communication.
The terminals erected in the northern part of the empire nowadays were highly controlled by the military hierarchy, and could not be used even by nobles and officials.
“Okay meow.”
The cat boss nodded its head, it understood that the way south after leaving Dandelion City would be very dangerous.
Trying to pass through the Snowy Plains Province, the Box Mountain Province, and then breaking through the blockade barrier to the imperial capital of Helom could be difficult.
The main force of the Silence Branch was from the Northwest Province, and the Silence Saint Son would bring the Silence Grand Clerics to the transportation fortress of Box Mountain Province, and then due north, they could reach the Snowy Plains Province, and a little bit further north, it was this Dandelion City where they were.
It circled the ground, growing a little restless.
According to the conversation it heard from Ranqi and Sid in the past two days, the Silent Saint Son should probably leave most of his main forces in the Box Mountain Province first, as long as he guarded this one gate, no one would be able to forcibly break through the northern blockade that was under the control of the empire, so that he could make sure that everything would be safe and sound.
The further north the snowy plains, the more like a needle in a haystack.
If the Catholic Church wants to return to the imperial capital before the election in late April, it must use the magic energy rail transportation in the Box Mountain Province, and the Silent Branch knows very well that the Catholic Church and the Holy Son of the Heavenly King will definitely go to the Box Mountain Province.
Once they arrived at the “Rock Junction” station, no matter how to disguise their appearance, it was useless, the Catholic Church has a strong sealing magic, it is impossible to avoid the detection of the mage within a certain distance.
“Cid, how much power have you regained now, meow?”
Boss Cat asked as he looked up at Cid.
Cid had changed back to that glorious and beautiful appearance, her lithe posture couldn’t be seen to be the slightest bit shriveled, but even Boss Cat could feel that the dangerous aura on her body had vanished.
“It’s probably a little weaker than the state that I disguised myself as on the way to the northern border before, but now I’m counting on my holy son.”
Cid sighed helplessly.
Even though it was unlikely that the always haughty and domineering Hegemony Catholic would say such words, she was now Cid.
And since this was the holy child she had handpicked with her own vision, it was considered her power, and relying on her own power was apparently nothing to be ashamed of.
“Meow ……” The cat boss thought this state of harmless Cid was fine, or at least better than it had made it feel earlier, but it couldn’t help but be scared in the face of the danger that lay ahead.
Even if Ranch, in his capacity as the Governor of Rocky McCarthy, wanted to take Sigrid through the Box Hill Province to the Imperial Capital there was no possibility that the Silent Branch’s main force in the Box Hill Province would pounce on them at all costs!
By virtue of the snowy plains province gathered strength, far from being able to fight against the main force of the Silent Branch, is the gap of orders of magnitude, not to mention the stationed in the box mountain province of the imperial army is currently will assist the Silent Branch of the state of the box mountain province, in the box mountain province, once the fight, they will be the first to help the Silent Branch!
“Don’t worry, I have a way to bring her through the Box Hill Province.”
Ranchi put down the glass of water in his hand, his straight spine pressed against the back of the chair.
Boss Cat looked over, only to see Ranch’s sideways cheek, looking out the window in a manner that seemed to be thinking about something.
“Escorting me back to the Imperial Capital, counting you a big credit.”
Cid clasped his hands and nodded, growing more and more pleased with his saintly son.
“Also it’s not a good idea to have the Silent Saint Son clogging up the Box Mountain Province, just in case there are other kind-hearted residents of the empire who want to travel to the imperial capital of Helom through the Box Mountain Province, and get embarrassed by them.”
Ranch muttered to himself as he looked out the window sill.
“……!”
The cat owner felt a sudden rush of familiarity come over him, and a strong, vicious chill ran through his body.
Once this first born rose to public morality, absolutely nothing good would come out of it! Definitely at least one wrongdoer was going to suffer heavily!
Earlier, in the Hedonian capital of Ichorite, there was still a normal person around him at all times who could serve as a reference for him, and since he had strayed into the empire, he had completely thrown off the brakes and started to run amok!
Boss Cat had now gone from looking forward to meeting Huberian to dreading meeting Huberian.
It was guilty! No face to face with Hubert!
At the very moment when Boss Cat was struggling in agony, Ranch stood up from his chair, hung his coat with one hand, and looked over at Sid.
“Let’s go Cid, but the rest of the way is getting more and more dangerous, you’ll have to change your appearance again.”
He pulled a [Change Art: Human] out of his pocket and handed it to Sigrid.
There were additional modifications, added on hair color and appearance fine-tuning [Change Art: Human], Ranch had no more of them.
There was still the last one left that Sigrid hadn’t used, only the one she had used at the very beginning when she came to the Northern Continent-
It could turn her into a brown-haired girl with green pupils like Rocky McCarthy.
Simply accepting the spell card Ranch lent her to change her appearance, Sigrid looked up at Ranch.
Since she woke up and opened her eyes, Ranch had changed his appearance, and only she knew that he was still him.
“How come I haven’t seen you use this disguised appearance?”
Cid asked in confusion.
She looked at the youth in front of her with this black hair and green pupils, like trying to reject people while appearing harmless at the same time, and it looked better than any of the previous disguises.
I wonder why he had to become so conspicuous this time.
“……”
Ranch just lifted his jacket and smiled without saying anything.
