I once existed in a virtual world where my objective was to lead the demon race and help them through a crisis. In interacting with the demons, I gained a deep understanding of their culture and traits.

As a principal, I always have the responsibility to guide students.

This is Lanchi's consistent professional attitude.

If Duchess Cloris were to engage in intelligence trading and negotiations with him as a high-ranking noble of the imperial capital, she perhaps wouldn't say much.

But she chose to ask questions as a student.

Then Rance would simply tell her the answer.

"Is that so"

It's a reason that sounds arbitrary yet surprisingly logical.

The only problem is this absurd shadow world... What kind of even more absurd history could possibly give rise to such a situation

Unfortunately, like they had an answer sheet in front of them, Lanci could only write down the answers for them, but couldn't convince everyone by using subjective inferences as evidence.

"I understand. I would also like to ask for your opinion, Mr. Loch, on the current state of the Protoss Empire."

Countess Croly continued to ask.

She was certain the man before her possessed unique intelligence, talent, and charisma, but those qualities alone were insufficient to earn her support.

Because she's also gambling, wanting to become someone who can influence the situation right now. Vision and foresight are both indispensable.

The answer to this very difficult and vague question reveals a person's courage and vision, and will also determine how much they are willing to bet on Rocky McCasi.

However.

Faced with Cloris's question, Ranche remained unfazed.

Your overt enemies are the Aestelran Kingdom and the Northern Nations. Those who openly declare themselves your foes are often not as dangerous as they seem. If you truly want to fight, the combined power of the Revenant Church would be difficult to defeat.

He leaned back in his office chair with his fingers interlaced, making the creaky sound of worn hinges.

As for his understanding of the current state of the Northern Continent, he mainly began to research it after arriving in the Protoss Empire. More importantly, it stemmed from his understanding of the Northern Continent a year later, which had already erupted into war.

The key is that the Kingdom of Jiao in the north currently has an ambiguous attitude, and even regarding the unrest on the southern shore, they act as if it's none of their concern. They appear neutral on the surface, but in reality, they are more dangerous than all the northern countries and the Kingdom of Aitheria combined. They are the true behemoth waiting to capitalize on the chaos.

To the north, regardless of whether it belonged to the territory of ancient beings or the several nations that split from the original demon realm, they were all extremely powerful. However, due to their geographical distance from the Protoss Empire and the isolation caused by natural disasters and terrain, they posed little threat in the short term.

If the demonic creatures threatening the Empire's northern borders were artificially created, then it can be certain who wants to ignite war on the Northern Continent. The true threat should be those unseen hands manipulating the situation in North Continent, seeking to deplete the strength of humans and other beings until they have conserved enough power to seize complete control at the end.

Upon hearing this, Cloris nodded. She clearly understood it herself, or could have deduced it from the information she already possessed, making it a perfect match.

But shouldn't this be more of a hypothetical More like an imaginary enemy

Carol asked.

They returned to the crux of the matter.

How can we prove existence and convince more people

"Human lifespan is too short, and relying on history to limit the future is inherently limited. If we don't broaden our horizons, we may face horrors beyond comprehension. We don't actually need to prove their existence; we just need to figure out right from wrong."

Lanche continued to say,

I personally feel that if the Protoss Empire truly wanted to conquer the Northern Continent, they got the initial strategy wrong from the start.

"Actually, the northern countries and the religious state governed by a closed force have no good relationship. The existence of the religious state itself is very strange. At the beginning, we should blame the religious state and bypass the northern countries to launch a surprise attack on the religious state. First, drag them down, so that we can advance or retreat. Besides, there are the northern countries as a buffer."

"It's now quite clear that someone wants to deplete Protos' national strength for their own gain, and use this as a catalyst to incite even greater chaos."

He was analyzing it seriously.

"Hold on, hold on, we can't say this any further."

Corliss raised her hand and spoke.

"……"

Even Sid on the sofa sat up straighter, looking at Lance.

No, she didn't want to ask you how the Protoss Empire should correctly conquer the Northern Continent. You're being a bit extreme!

But Cloris apparently smiled with interest.

Ranch's insights appeared to be somewhat different from what she had envisioned.

It is true that this discourse also points out from another angle that this war brings no benefits to the Protoss Empire.

He actually sees things very clearly, he just thinks differently from most people.

So, does Principal Loch think that the Protoss Empire truly has a chance of unifying the Northern Continent

It seems that Cloris still wants to hear Lance's final answer before ending this topic.

That's impossible.

Lance closed his eyes and shook his head.

Why is that

Coralis seems to care more about Lance's last turn.

His previous words were full of conviction, but his conclusion now contradicts them.

"Because I am a pacifist, this kind of thing won't happen."

When Lancy opened his eyes again, the emerald-green surface of his pupils remained as clear and serene as ever. His natural gaze held a depth of thoughtfulness and compassion, a characteristic belonging to saints who witnessed the suffering and pain of all living beings.

Even without words, he seemed to be telling Cloris —

What he wants is world peace.

Although Cloris thought this person's definition of peace was a bit psychotic, he was already on the fringe.

..."

She pondered for a long time, hesitating.

Actually, what she believed was the answer lay in the vast unknowns of the far north. If the Empire and the North were engaged in a war, suddenly an ancient being, having lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, so long that its name had been lost to history, might appear. A hero from a bygone era, capable of turning any situation around at crucial junctures.

North America does indeed have such an existence.

Like the ancient blood tribes of the Southern Continent.

There is no evidence, and there's no way to prove it, but they just exist.

However, for the current North Continent, these immortal beings as a huge random factor, the real threat is those behind-the-scenes figures who want to control the situation in the North Continent. So before they step onto the stage, they will try to manipulate the situation as much as possible in the dark, forcing out all the uncertain factors.

But currently, it seems that this young man named Rocky Macassi is before us.

Its existence itself.

It is no less than the randomness that those ancient heroes lurking in the world might bring.
