“I see. So, we are compatriots.”

Antanas walked in the stairwell, agreeing with Xia Ya.

Regardless of whether the other party was a demon, spiritually, such reverence for the new king already made them compatriots.

Snowfield Province sounded very familiar.

Because the identities prepared by the new king for the three of them were all registered in the Snowfield Province in the northern part of the Protoss Empire.

Presumably, the new king was familiar with Viscount Cinston of the Snowfield Province, which allowed him to arrange their identities.

This young man was also a confidant of the new king, which was why the new king sent him to meet them.

What's more, this young man seemed to call the new king his teacher just now. His future was limitless. Even if he was weak now, he would definitely become a powerful force in the new generation of demons in the future. His magical talent seemed very high.

If the new king allowed it, the three of them could impart some unique demon magic to this young man to help him grow further.

In the corridor of the old building, everything around was immersed in the artistic depictions of history.

“You flatter me.”

Xia Ya heard the professor call him a compatriot, and his gaze towards the three of them became a little more sincere.

Soon they arrived on the fifth floor.

A group of demons stepped on the soft floor of the corridor. The deep red carpet under their feet was dark in color, thick in texture, and delicate in pattern.

The carpet silently told of the years of Redmont Building, like a long river of history flowing beneath their feet.

“Speaking of which, I was really amazed by the landscape of the school gate when I first arrived at this school.”

Antanas said to the other two archdemons while looking at the style of Redmont Building.

The gilded patterns decorating the wooden carved walls on both sides of the corridor were intricate, shimmering subtly in the light, just like their thoughts at the moment.

“Yes, I wonder whose hand the artistic style in the school comes from.”

Passing by a row of neat, connected large windows, these windows framed the outside world like exquisite paintings.

Through the windows, Planai could see the academy's courtyard, the ancient Herlum-style buildings in the distance, and the lush trees.

These views also included the newly renovated campus landscape. As a scholar who liked to study ancient relics of the demon world, Planai not only deeply loved the culture and art of the demon world but was also full of interest in human culture and art.

He never expected that there would be such a breathtaking master in this era.

After chatting for a few words, they arrived at the door of an office at the end of the corridor.

“Teacher, I have brought the guests for you.”

Xia Ya knocked on the door.

“Thank you, Xia Ya. Go back and keep Lili Si company. You can get off work at Redmont Building today.”

A gentle male voice came from inside the door.

“Yes.”

Xia Ya saluted the door.

“Professors, I will take my leave first.”

“Thank you, classmate.”

Then Xia Ya turned around and greeted the three professors before taking his leave.

“…”

Planai placed his hand lightly on the door, not pushing it open yet. The male voice coming from inside the door made the three archdemons exchange glances slightly.

Did the new king also invite other guests?

With no time to think more, Planai pushed open the heavy wooden door.

The door opened slowly, and the air mixed with the scent of coffee and candles rushed towards them, creating a quiet and warm atmosphere.

What caught their eyes was a spacious office of hundreds of square meters, and there was only one figure inside—

Behind the desk facing the direction of the door was an office chair facing away from them. The dark wooden desk against which the back of the chair rested was as smooth as a mirror.

The figure with his back to them seemed to be leaning on the chair, resting with his eyes closed, or perhaps looking out the window. The gaps in the half-closed huge dark curtains emitted a faint light. The sky outside the window had turned gray. Light winds howled from time to time in the Protoss Royal Magic Academy, and every gust of wind carried falling leaves.

The moment the three of them walked into the office, a solitary raindrop gently hit the edge of the windowsill.

Before long, the raindrops fell like dense strings, one after another.

The figure sitting opposite the window seemed to wake up from a dream, and the emerald green pupils reflected in the glass gradually became clear and bright.

He raised his fingers and gently stroked the dewy window glass.

No one knew what he was thinking, or whether he was simply enjoying the pleasant afternoon.

“…”

Planai led the two archdemons forward, but did not get too close, maintaining a relatively suitable distance.

They were all certain that there were no other living beings in this room, only the man behind the office chair.

The new king said that they could also arrive at 3:30.

However, they all arrived at 3:00 on the dot.

So it was possible that the new king hadn't arrived yet, and the person in the room was another guest the new king wanted them to meet.

Planai stared at Antanas, who quickly understood Planai's presumptuous but reasonable idea. She set up a barrier in the room.

Although the principal's office had devices to isolate detection magic, the barrier set up by Antanas, an eighth-order archdemon, was more reliable.

“May I ask who you are?”

After confirming that the room was completely isolated from the outside world, Planai politely asked the figure behind the chair.

Lan Qi leaned back in his office chair, quietly looking at the sky outside the window, then closed his eyes again.

He would rest for a while if he could.

He still had black hair and green eyes.

Due to the cooldown time of [Transformation: Human], he could only transform into Rocky McCarthy once more today.

So he simply maintained his original appearance all the way from the Batian branch's stronghold in the Protoss Royal Magic Academy back to the office in Redmont Building, without rushing to transform back into Rocky McCarthy.

Whenever he had free time in the afternoon, he would sit here. Even just closing his eyes for five minutes would relieve a lot of fatigue.

He didn't expect the time to be so short. He heard Xia Ya's knock when he was at his most sleepy, and then the three archdemons came in.

“Here, people call me Rocky McCarthy.”

He explained.

“!!”

On the other side of the office.

The three archdemons were all stunned by the words.

They had thought that the reason the new king wanted them to meet a big shot first was so they could get to know someone, but they never expected that the one sitting here was Rocky McCarthy!

Did the new king mean for them to talk to Rocky McCarthy?

Planai fell silent for a moment, obviously analyzing the new king's thoughts.

And Antanas didn't plan to talk nonsense on this occasion.

When it was time to be quiet, she needed to remain quiet. In this situation, she only needed to observe and let Planai, the smartest archdemon, deal with the humans.

Apart from the two archdemons with open eyes, only Xin Nola was very nervous.

She had long heard her brother say that this Imperial person named Rocky McCarthy was also someone their demons had to win over next.

But she was not good at dealing with men other than her brother. After arriving on the ground, she had been using magic to sense the surrounding terrain and creatures, and she dared not open her eyes easily.

At this moment, she was also a little curious and wanted to secretly take a look at what this mysterious man named Rocky McCarthy looked like.

No, it would ruin things, she had to resist.

She must not open her eyes in front of a man today!

Xin Nola warned herself in her heart.

She must not do anything extra today. She must not let the new king see that she was an embarrassing demon and then be greatly disappointed.

There is still one chapter being frantically written, and it will be posted as soon as it is finished! Xi Zhi is burning, and there will be four updates today!!
