367.Chapter 361 – Ranqi thought about how there was a person here who needed help.

Chapter 361 – Ranchi wonders why there’s a lady in need of help here
What should have been a well-organized process at the Rock Junction Station concourse level gate was now in a state of mild chaos for unknown reasons.

The Silent Cleric’s warlike movements were decisive and swift, the flash of alarm in his eyes revealing the importance of the task at hand, the cast iron and glass structure under the lights looking cold and hard in this unexpected situation, reflecting the nervous faces of the passengers.

And all eyes were focused on the two noble girls who were surrounded in front of the gate.

“If you are not suspected, Miss Miriam Milford, we promise not to harm you halfway, as well as to release you at the first opportunity after your innocence has been proven.”

The Grand Cleric who gave the order to hold them back acted as if he had a fluttering and courteous demeanor as he owed and said.

“……”

The line of rear passengers snaked down the corridor passageway, everyone waiting as if some event was about to suddenly erupt, the mood of the average Imperial passenger dropping as much as the temperature in the station hall, towards freezing point.

It wasn’t just Huberian and Myrcula, anyone who had been at the far end of the Ren knew that the promises of the clerics of the Silent Branch had no semblance of credibility.

In the midst of this silence, the air was pierced with the sudden, thin sound of wind, unusually clear.

The Grand Cleric did not raise his head, waiting for the two noble ladies in front of him to make a statement.

“I will miss the opening hours of the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic, as well as the fact that you cannot arbitrarily arrest Imperial nobles without evidence and a warrant.”

Huberian, even if she seemed to be temperless earlier, the corners of her eyes were slightly tightened at the moment with a slight huff, having a hard time accepting the brashness of the Silent Branch.

“If we really have a problem, you could have brought the legitimate documents from the police department and come to Helom’s school to arrest us, and at that time, not to mention whether we agree or not, the school authorities will be the first to cooperate in executing your work.”

Myrcella took a half step forward as well, her voice stronger.

The departure of the two of them to the imperial capital of Helom was expected to leave at eleven o’clock at noon, and with more than three hours between the two trips from Milford Collar to the Box Hill Province and from Box Hill to the imperial capital of Helom, the Earl of Milford had taken into account the time that the changeover might take, and had given the girls plenty of time to rest and prepare midway through the trip.

However, if they were stopped to go to the Silent Knights, regardless of the outcome of the investigation, they would surely miss the originally scheduled train, and in case they were imprisoned for a day or two, and when they were released and purchased the tickets temporarily, the probability would result in a week of not being able to enter the Proteus Royal Academy of Magic.

That school with harsh and semi-closed rules, the state of banning students from going out on all weekdays as a punishment and upholding the rules of credit assessment as the ultimate in punishment and maintenance, also does not allow students who do not return on time to enter in the middle of the day.

“I’m sorry, confidential matters related to the War in the North, we have the priority to enforce, if you need to sue us, please also contact Earl Milford.”

The Grand Cleric stared at Myrcula, his words still sounding polite, but the coldness had begun to press into his eyes.

It was as if he was telling her that if she made any more trouble, she would be left with some lessons she would never forget for the rest of her life later on, regardless of whether she was an Earless or not.

The first thing Huberian did was to take Mishoula’s hand in hers and grip it a few times tighter, pulling her behind her.

“Our Milford family has never offended you Silent branch, next next week Earl Milford has to go to the imperial capital to participate in the voting election, are you doing this, do you want to pull the Silent bishop down?”

She stopped letting Michaula dislike the Archpriest back and questioned him personally.

“……”

The Archcleric’s eyes were half hesitant, but they soon stabilized again and became determined.

“Even if Lord Milford will be disappointed in our Silent Branch because of this, I must leave her behind, duty calls, please forgive me.”

He did not give half a concession.

If he had originally planned to take into account the power of Earl Milford’s family, he was now prepared to tear his face off.

“……”

Seeing this attitude of the Silent Branch Grand Cleric, Huberian’s nerves tensed and she grabbed Mishoula’s hand.

If she wanted to run now, forcing her way out of the Box Hill Province was probably not a problem, but this would definitely harm the Milford family who helped her forge her identity. However, if she complied with the other party’s wishes and followed them into the Silent Knights’ temple, and any changes occurred, she might not even be able to run if she wanted to, and the more she was investigated, the more likely there would be oversights.

The more she was investigated, the more likely there would be oversights.

“I’ll go with you guys.”

Huberian finally sighed helplessly between a million mixed emotions.

No matter what, even if she had an important mission on her shoulders, it was impossible for her to turn her back on the Milford family for her own safety.

“I want to stay with my sister.”

Mishoula’s mouth pursed at the corners, her face expressionless, and she took Huberian’s arm, meaning to never let go.

The Grand Cleric sneered, these two unbeatable noble ladies had wasted so much of his words, now it was Mishoula who wanted to leave and it was impossible to let her go.

If these two keep this attitude, then when the time comes, the two of them must be properly domesticated in the temple of the Silent Knights, even as a hostage, they will be able to make the Earl of Milford obediently vote for the Bishop of Silence without half-heartedness.

When the Silent Bishop is elected, the cooperation between the Protoss Empire and the Church of the Resurrection is finalized, even if the Earl of Milford sees his two daughters spoiled or killed, he can only obediently tolerate his anger.

“Well then, the two of you will be together.”

The Grand Cleric signaled the heavily armored knights behind him to take the two of them away, while many of the passengers in the queue behind them consciously chose to back away for the time being.

Passengers whose train was departing on a schedule that was hours away had long since exited the waiting line first to go elsewhere, leaving only those passengers on the schedule that would be departing just a short time later to wait with difficulty.

No one dared to say anything at this point, even though they should have been very anxious when they encountered a traffic jam in front of them during the transfer.

When the dust settled in the silence, what made Huberian’s heart feel bitter was that she knew very well that she had not made a mistake, and it seemed that this group of Silent Clerics did not see the omission, but rather caught themselves in a crooked way.

This kind of pure luck problem, Huberian was all too familiar with, no matter how much she struggled, she could not eliminate the bad luck, but also affected the people who helped her, and in the end, even the so powerful father who had always protected her was like being affected by her bad luck, and his whereabouts were unknown.

She always felt that she was a person of the wrath of God, and that her luck in everything would always fall on the worse side.

Until she met Ranchi, whose fate was a little too hard, it was like all her bad luck turned into good luck, and it was as if this person carried all her luck with him.

Now without Ranchi, that feeling of powerlessness came over her again.

But it was no longer possible for her to call out Ranchi’s name with all her might as she had done at the Purgatory Cloister Academy, and he would suddenly appear and rush to her rescue.

O Goddess-sama, what should I do now?

Just then, the shrunken crowd dispersed once again, as if a path had been evacuated from it by the military guards.

And Huberian’s dimmed complexion once again raised her eyes slightly because she was attracted by this movement.

“What are you doing?”

A leisurely voice with confusion and impatience rang out.

It seemed as if the pass had been blocked for a long time, causing him to find this ungentlemanly.
