"Meow meow meow, so what are your plans next"

The cat boss thought that Ranch couldn't continue developing like this.

If they keep going bigger and bigger, they won't be able to wash away the mess they make, people and cats included!

Lance thought about it.

"I want to get legal status, then go to the Imperial Capital, and defect to the Extinction Branch."

He held the cat and walked along, saying that the majestic and solemn temple in the distance was gradually being swallowed by other buildings behind them.

As long as one can reach the level of a paladin who possesses the purple [Rebirth Certificate - Oblivion], there is hope to meet the Oblivion Bishop and make a wish to observe the tablets.

Of course, one must also make outstanding contributions before being eligible to observe.

Lancy held a black kitten in his arms. Its eyes were like stars in the night sky, and it curled up in his embrace, occasionally extending its front paw to touch his hand.

Since you're planning to cut ties with the Batian branch anyway, are you not worried about angering the Batian Church now

The cat boss still thinks Lanchi should tone it down a bit.

It knows that Lance always plays on the edge.

But it followed Lan Qi at all times, afraid that Lan Qi would crash. After all, he almost got single-killed by Tata last time.

Now, in the imperial capital, the three archbishops are publicly recruiting followers among the citizens of the Empire. They are seeking talented individuals and have received permission from the Empire. As long as they pass the official assessment through designated channels, they can become followers. Even those who perform exceptionally well can receive preferential treatment and become elite followers in one step.

Lanci explains to the cat boss.

Of course he wanted to give it a try.

Once you obtain the legal residency of the Empire, you can openly participate in the assessment to join the Annihilation branch in the imperial capital.

"As a serious student, going to take the test for the Revival Church, are you sure that's okay"

The Cat boss felt that after Ranch came to the North Continent, he gradually forgot that he was still a student of the Iketorite Academy and his original purpose was to do the assignment.

>An excellent champion of justice naturally needs to understand the minds of criminals.

Lanchi spoke calmly and collectedly.

"Well, three months from now, will you really hope that Bishop Oblivion wins"

The cat boss just doesn't understand why Ranch is so fond of the Annihilation branch.

It's almost like they want to wholeheartedly pledge allegiance to Asksan, the Bishop of Oblivion, or perhaps have their sights set on him.

"Rest assured, whether I'm an undercover cop or a criminal pretending to be a cop, my core is still that of a police officer."

Ranch lowered his head and stroked the black kitten, his eyes clear and determined.

Although the current imperial version is complex, and sometimes it's hard to say who are the police and who are the bandits, I have always been mentally strong and will only act according to my beliefs, even if I don't have a direction, I won't lose my way.

"Meow, but if you go to the Extinction branch to make a name for yourself..."

The cat boss is now a little afraid of Lanchi's strange ability, especially when Xu Bao isn't around. He seems like a different person and doesn't hold back his energy at all.

I don't want the Bishop of Silence to win.

Lance said without hesitation.

"That's good, that's good."

The cat boss nodded repeatedly.

Once Ranch said that, he felt relieved.

In terms of harmfulness, the followers of the Baitian branch are far fewer than those of the Jiemi branch.

This group of people are at least mentally not deviant, because their creed "might makes right" although extreme, is more order-oriented and easier to communicate with. After proving strength and weakness, they are willing to listen attentively to Lance's words.

As long as it's a being capable of communication, Ranch seems to be able to manipulate it.

Like the Extinction Branch and Mourning Branch, if one's spirit isn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to blend in. The Cat Emperor couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if these two branches spread throughout the Empire.

If one absolutely had to choose an Emperor from the Dominators, the Obliterators, or the Mourners, the Cat-Lord would still prefer a Dominator.

Lan Qi walked on the cobblestone path, his steps light. From the large tavern beside the street, wafts of cooking smoke and the aroma of a prepared dinner had begun to emerge.

It's time to go eat.

Lancelot glanced at the sky. He had become a guest of Lord Francis's household for this period.

He is also the first family tutor who could stay in the Earl's house for a long time.

"Meow meow, buy me some dried fish on the way, the fish in this Lilom City are so delicious."

"Very good."

He walked across the bridge with his cat boss, the waves on the sea shimmering gold in the gentle sunset. Pedestrians stopped frequently to interact with the black cat in his arms, kneeling down and getting closer to the charming creature.

The cat boss is just pretending to be an ordinary cat.

In a small town where everyone is equal, if the cats could speak, it would surely frighten the residents.

On the other side of the bridge is a small park. If you walk three streets north, you can return to the lord's mansion.

Actually, I quite like this city of Liliom.

"Yes, meow."

In a few days, Zethira would have to return to the Imperial City and continue her pre-course studies.

And if Arlanche is to continue being employed, he will also have the opportunity to leave here together.

Every so often, he would lift his head and gaze at the water town that seemed to blend seamlessly with the sea. The whole town was enveloped in a soft golden glow. This moment of serenity and harmony was a rare and precious time.

It's a pity they always felt something was missing, just the two of them and their cat.

As the last rays of sunlight gradually faded, the city streets were enveloped in a faint purplish-red mist.

The outline of the lord's mansion gradually became clear, appearing before Lan Chi.

Before Lanci even reached the courtyard gate, a guard stepped forward and opened the ancient bronze door for him.

Lan Qi stepped into the manor's front yard. A butler in formal attire quickly walked up to him and bowed deeply.

Mr. Locke, Lord Francis is waiting for you in the dining room. He invited you to dinner.

Okay, thank you.

Lancelot nodded and, followed closely by his attendant, quickly arrived at the lord's mansion's main hall. After passing through a series of ornate wooden corridors, they reached a pair of massive double doors. The attendant gently pushed them open, revealing a luxuriously decorated dining room. A magnificent crystal chandelier hanging from the high ceiling illuminated the entire space, making it as bright as day.

On the table, silver cutlery and champagne flutes were neatly arranged. Sir Francis, seated at the head of the table, wore his usual air of authority and composure, but when he saw Lance, a hint of warmth and kindness flickered in his eyes.

But today was different from usual, there was an extra figure sitting beside the dining table.

Zestilla's dark hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she sat in silence, only glancing at Lance with her vertical pupils before falling back into her usual quietude.

Seeing that Zestilla was also summoned by Lord Francis to dine at the restaurant, Lance knew, tonight Lord Francis must be talking about going to the Imperial Capital.
