Chapter 128 The Cat Boss: "Become the Most Evil Imperial Lackey!"

"Today is your fourth day in the capital, Brilda."
"Just one day after you wrote the principles in the classroom on Monday, you have already caused a huge meow at the Saint Krete Seminary."
Far away in Brilda, the Krete capital, in the suburban school mansion district, in the living room on the first floor of a high-end mansion belonging exclusively to professors.
While eating bread, Lan Qi looked at the black bread on the table, which was broadcasting on time.
"Okay, Cat Boss."
Lan Qi was about to hold down Cat Boss's head to end today's broadcast.
On Tuesday, he would continue to give lectures on the fourth floor of Eliot Building. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday were his working hours at the Saint Krete Seminary.
Suddenly, he felt Cat Boss skillfully raise its front paw, using a Wing Chun-like technique to deflect his hand with extremely high skill.
Lan Qi: "?"
"Many professors from the Magic Institute of Technology came to discuss with you yesterday, and highly recognized your strength and the contributions you will make to the Empire."
Cat Boss continued to speed up its broadcast,
"Among them, friendly professors advised you with their experience as veterans that more and more Imperial figures may contact you in the near future. You need to protect your own safety and judge the purpose of each person contacting you, and be careful of Silver Moon Restoration Society and Allied spies."
At this point, it finally sat on the dining table with satisfaction, looking at the astonished Lan Qi.
The autumn sun of the Empire shone into the room from the floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a touch of lazy and comfortable mood to this classical two-story villa, and also illuminating Lan Qi's dazed and motionless appearance.
"Cat Master, you even know boxing?"
Lan Qi realized that since Cat Boss reached the eighth level, it could be considered a powerful magical beast comparable to the fifth level, and it seemed that the broadcast could not be turned off.
"Of course, I used to have a set of Meow Meow Fist back in the day. No wild cat dared to steal food from me!"
The whole-wheat sugar-free black bread said proudly, raising its head.
It also had times when it was at the zero and first level, and its combat power was weaker than ordinary cats. If it didn't have some skills, how could it fill its stomach?
You should know that its life as a restaurant owner before meeting Lan Qi was also built up step by step.
"I see..."
Lan Qi didn't expect Cat Boss to have such difficult days.
However, Cat Boss relied on itself to struggle for many years, drifted to Ikrit and became a restaurant owner, which can be said to be quite inspirational.
On the other hand.
"It's a good thing you didn't meet the one who would steal food from cats at the foot of the Nantina Territory city wall..."
Lan Qi was about to smile and sigh, starting a beautiful mood for the day, but he stopped halfway through his words.
It seemed that he couldn't say the second half of the sentence, so he could only continue to bury his head in eating.
Let's just finish breakfast quietly.
But if he didn't recall it, he would have almost forgotten that the first chat he had with Talia was about feeding cats.
Lan Qi casually put an oatmeal bread sandwich with ham, sour pickles, fried eggs, and cheese in his mouth.
Today's breakfast was also made by Talia early in the morning. Lan Qi knew it as soon as he took a bite.
Her cooking skills are obviously different from Cat Boss's. She doesn't pursue making gorgeous dishes, but rather delicious and home-style breakfasts.

"..."
After Lan Qi thought of this, he felt that he could speak again, which surprised him slightly.
It seemed that because he discovered that the breakfast maker was Talia, Talia suddenly became happy.
"Heh..."
Lan Qi shook his head and smiled.
How could he not taste who made the breakfast on the table?
Only Talia can make this kind of breakfast with a "mother's taste," which cannot be made without the accumulation of years.
Just when he felt a chill down his spine, he quickly stopped his thoughts.
"By the way, Cat Boss, if you evolve to the ninth level, wouldn't you be invincible below the seventh level?"
Lan Qi asked, focusing his attention on the little black cat.
"...That's right."
Cat Boss thought about it. According to its level of fighting three levels higher, the ninth-level it might really be a sixth-level strength. Plus, the ninth level can use ninth-level magic cards, which is simply invincible below the seventh level.
Not only does it have low race stats, but it is also the weakest individual among the Elf Cats, with no combat talent. But correspondingly, less cultivation and experience are needed to improve its weak body to reach the required promotion. Plus, its lucky talent drew a space-based life-saving skill, avoiding countless disasters, and sleeping its way to the seventh level with its lifespan.
Once it can pass through the high-level Shadow World that it was originally unable to participate in, plus Lan Qi helping it earn contribution points, its level may be the fastest rising in the team.
"The ninth level is the real Divine Spirit Beast. I haven't dreamed of that meow."
Cat Boss shook its head soberly.
To break through to the ninth-level Divine Spirit realm, it is not only necessary to reach the eighth-level limit, but also to meet two more difficult conditions.
One is the power of faith related to the true gods of the God Era, and the other is an immortal token that can carry its own legendary color.
This is also why Sigrid wants to become the Pope. Once she becomes the Pope of the Revival Church, on the one hand, she will have the power of faith of the entire Revival Church, and on the other hand, the Papal authority is also a tool sufficient to become an immortal token. After integrating and unifying all branches of the Revival Church, it will be enough for her to be promoted to the ninth level.
In addition to the Pope and Popes on the theocratic route.
Either take the royal route, becoming the king or emperor of a sufficiently large country can also bear enough power of faith.
Then there is starting a war and becoming a hero on the path of savior and protector of the country.
The difficulty of the three methods increases in turn. The most difficult is undoubtedly the hero route, because it must be in a sufficiently dark troubled world and be expected and recognized by enough living beings to reach the level of being able to aspire to the Divine Spirit realm through scattered power of faith.
"Have dreams, Cat Boss, don't you think a ninth-level kitty is super cool?"
Lan Qi put his hand on Cat Boss's small head and asked.
If he could take the cat and use world-destroying ninth-level magic, it would make the enemy suspect that Loren not only didn't die, but also suspected of breaking through to the ninth level and making a comeback.
That's what the royal road feels like.
"Meow..."
Cat Boss tilted its head, feeling that its usually peaceful heart had been aroused with a lot of desires recently.
Lan Qi always tells it things that it can't do, making it feel itchy.

Outside the window, red maples dotted the lush green courtyard, and the branches and leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds.
Beside the winding stone steps of the Great Abbey, towering ancient trees were like lined up guards, with lush branches and deep roots.
Cat Boss looked at the scenery, waiting for Lan Qi to finish eating the oatmeal bread, and their breakfast time was almost over in the blink of an eye.
"Cat Boss, I also have to work hard to reach the seventh level and become a real transcendent powerhouse in the Holy Realm, so that I won't be a small crispy skin."
Lan Qi flipped through today's *Krete Central Daily*, learning about the current battle situation, and muttered to himself.
At the seventh level, both his physical and mental strength will undergo qualitative changes. By then, with his magic resistance, it will be difficult to die.
After coming to the Krete Empire, he is full of ambition and motivation every day, feeling like he has been reborn. He will work hard together with Dean Loren's share.
"Meow meow meow, how is it?"
Cat Boss climbed onto Lan Qi's shoulder and leaned close to his face to read the newspaper together.
"Not optimistic."
The more Lan Qi read, the more his brow furrowed. From time to time, he would pick up his coffee and quickly take a sip, preparing to finish reading quickly and go to the Saint Krete Seminary to teach.
Originally, he and Nigel had agreed that if they wanted to contact the intelligence personnel of the Boson Kingdom in the Krete Empire, all contact methods should be through publishing poems, advertisements, and lost and found notices in the *Krete Central Daily*.
But now he has lost his identity as an old publisher, Lante, and Professor Landri's identity is more sensitive. Unless he needs help urgently, it is not suitable to take the initiative to find the special agents of the Boson Kingdom in the short term.
Even so, Lan Qi buys the *Krete Central Daily* every day. If he sees the coded messages of the Boson Kingdom's intelligence personnel, he will still try his best to contact the other party.
"Why do I feel that the Allied forces can't even last a month?"
The more Cat Boss looked at the battle report, the more afraid it became.
"In fact, the Krete Empire may exaggerate its achievements to increase the confidence of its internal citizens, while the Allied forces selectively report the Empire's offensive to reduce possible panic. Combining the reports from both sides will be closer to the truth."
Lan Qi replied.
In addition to the rapidly changing strategic deployments, blitzkriegs, and large-scale offensives at the beginning of the war, it is easy to enter a longer war of attrition and protracted war after both sides have established their strategic goals. Until a long time, one side's strategy collapses, which will quickly lead to an acceleration of progress and establish victory or defeat.
Now the Krete Empire, as the attacking party, has begun to digest the previously occupied strategic points, taking the initiative to slow down the pace of the offensive, preparing to fully digest the new territory before launching the second round of offensive, while the Kingdom Joint Council Alliance has also fully entered a defensive posture, launching counterattacks in some areas.
If this continues, it is very likely to last for several years, and both the Krete Empire and the countries of the Council Alliance will be greatly injured. If the Blood Clan continues to develop and erode the Empire in secret during this period, then the opportunity for the Blood Moon Bad World to reappear will come.
"I will spare no effort to do everything I can to oppose the war. I cannot tolerate every day being filled with suffering. Peace is the infinite responsibility of all living things. Only peace, only peace, can make the world bloom with beauty again."

Lan Qi put down the newspaper and clenched his fist, firmly believing.
"But we still have no clues about the Blood Clan, meow, right?"
Cat Boss felt that the Blood Clan was like it didn't exist in the Empire. After Lan Qi's investigation these past few days, there was no clue at all.
This made it feel even more terrified.
Obviously, the hinterland capital of the Krete Empire, Brilda, is the Blood Clan's lair, but they can't find the process even with the answer in their hands.
"Actually, in the timeline that the Goddess of Destiny allowed me to see, the Blood Clan will launch a war several months later, and at that time, the Blood Clan will dare to step out from behind the scenes to the stage. But now, the Blood Clan has chosen to hide inside the Empire, which means that the infiltration of the Empire is not yet complete, and many high-level officials may not realize the existence of the Blood Clan."
Lan Qi stroked Cat Boss, telling it not to be afraid.
Even if they can't find the Blood Clan right now, it doesn't matter. As long as they develop steadily in the Empire, that's all that matters.
"In simple terms, if it weren't for my interference, Hiberian would have been murdered by the Blood Clan. The Blood Clan would have been able to control Duke Migaya very early and save an additional troublesome Blood Clan progenitor. The speed of the Blood Clan's penetration may have been accelerated by almost half."
He continued to explain to Cat Boss.
Lan Qi's protection of Hiberian will not affect the overall strength of the Krete Empire. The only thing that is affected is the relative proportion of the Blood Clan's forces within the Empire.
Despite this, the Blood Clan is extremely cautious.
It can be seen from their strategy choices that they are afraid that they will only step out onto the stage when the degree of erosion is close to 80% or even 90%, and even if the degree of erosion is close to 50% or 60%, they will continue to lie dormant.
If they can't win steadily, they will never expose themselves, and can even wait for the next opportunity, because they have plenty of time.
Currently, the important thing for Lan Qi is to figure out which forces in the Empire already belong to the Blood Clan and which parts still have nothing to do with the Blood Clan.
If you want to win against the Blood Clan, it is best to borrow the power of the Krete Empire itself.
So, out of the need of the situation, he tentatively needs to climb up a little higher in the Empire.
"Then I'm relieved. It's good that it's within your plan."
Cat Boss felt that being Lan Qi's teammate, its heartbeat had never stopped, but Lan Qi was really strong.
In most versions, you can choose Lan Qi without thinking.
Lan Qi put down the newspaper at the dining table, put on his gray coat, and prepared to leave.
"Cat Boss, let's get in the car."
Lan Qi said to Cat Boss.
Cat Boss realized that since Lan Qi met his mentor in life, his dressing habits have also been subtly influenced.
It followed behind Lan Qi, taking a few steps.
"Lan Qi, you shouldn't have forgotten your mission, right?"
When Cat Boss saw Lan Qi's increasingly frequent deep sense of career and responsibility between his brows after coming to the Empire, it began to suspect that this kid was already thinking about problems from the Empire's perspective.
Once this kid starts working, he has a kind of obsession of not going crazy, not living.
At the beginning, he also agreed to sneak into the Revival Church to try it out, but later he really did his best to help the Batian Catholic Church win everything.
It can be said that he is half a step away from being the President.
"Of course, it's impossible to forget. I am now carrying out my mission. A true ace spy must be able to deceive everyone, whether it is the enemy or a friend. Only at the moment of victory will I let everyone know my identity."
Lan Qi turned around and replied firmly.
"Indeed... Ace has to play like this..."
Cat Boss thought about it carefully and felt that it was true.
The more Lan Qi acts like an Imperial lackey, the safer it actually is.
"Lan Qi, you must become the most evil Imperial lackey! You are different from others and shouldn't waste your time on the conventional path. You should deceive the world and steal fame to the end, meow!"
The more Cat Boss thought about it, the more it felt that it could do it.
It is now a qualified Lan Qi trainer. Since Hyberian isn't here, it can step on the accelerator a little to have its fun!
