Chapter 255 The Birth of the Seven Gods and What Was Brewing in the Dark

With Laura completing her inheritance, the group returned to Enshia, where their month-long special training was about to end.

Sitting in the carriage, Laura waved vigorously towards the outside: "I'm home!"

"See you after school starts, Laura!"

Charlotte and the others waved their hands: "Have a safe trip!"

Olivia lay on Loran's back, too sleepy to keep her eyes open, but she still managed to raise her hand to say goodbye to Laura.

"Is Olivia really alright?"

Laura was a little worried, but Loran waved his hand and said, "Dragons hibernate during the last month of each year during their infancy to digest the magic they have absorbed throughout the year. Although many dragons sleep for almost a whole year, whether they hibernate or not is irrelevant to them. In short, it is a very normal phenomenon and there is nothing to worry about."

"Dragons also hibernate."

Laura couldn't help but exclaim that she had learned something. Dragons are a rather mysterious race, and very few dragons can leave Dragon Island and venture outside.

"Speaking of which, I used to want to raise a dragon too."

Kasna crossed her arms and floated beside Laura: "When I went to Dragon Island, I wanted to ask the Dragon King for one as a pet, but that old guy had a terrible temper and beat me up before I could even finish my sentence."

"It's a miracle you've grown this big."

Loran sighed. Dragons are a proud race. It's a miracle he wasn't killed after telling the Dragon King he wanted to keep a dragon as a pet—the old Dragon King probably realized that Kasna never thinks before she speaks.

"Are you worried that I won't take good care of Xiaolong? Honestly, I'm a loving person. All the cats and dogs I've raised before have lived to a ripe old age in good health."

"It's already a big problem to put dragons on the same level as cats and dogs."

Loran sighed, and even Olivia, fighting off sleepiness, whispered in Loran's ear, "How annoying humans are."

"Huh? Are you referring to me as the 'hateful human'? Really? Why?"

This person is completely oblivious.

Anyway, have a safe trip.

Loran shook his head and said to Laura. Kasna, hands on her hips, said smugly, "Don't worry, don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

"If something still happens while I'm around, you might as well dig a hole and bury yourself."

Loran said the same thing.

Although Kasna's strength was greatly weakened because she was only a soul, with Loran's help, her soul was at the sixth level. Not to mention in the small country of Antaya, even in Isnar, there were few things that could threaten her.

A seventh-tier being isn't someone you encounter easily. Even if there really is a seventh-tier being, seeing the Loran mark on Kasna and the highest protection mark of the Cartel Federation, no one would choose to provoke her.

Overall, Laura's current safety level is quite high.

"Bon Voyage."

Loran waved his hand and said, "Go back and say hello to your grandfather for me."

"Okay, I got it! Goodbye!"

The carriage bearing the Morganfleur family mark slowly disappeared from everyone's sight. Loran stretched and turned to leave: "Alright, alright, it's time to go back. Ugh, I'm so tired. I'm going to sleep for three days and three nights this time."

"What are you saying, Loran?"

Serena grabbed his arm: "We also need to start preparing for the Seven Gods' Birthday."

"There's still a month left..."

“No, Miss Victoria came to see me. The year is coming to an end, and she wants to hold a lively celebration of the Seven Gods’ Birthday. As nobles of Enshiya, we should participate as well.”

"Sigh, let whoever wants to do it do it. I'm too lazy to do these things..."

"Then, come with me."

Miss Serena knew exactly how to manipulate Lorraine. Lorraine sighed, "Fine, fine... I'm really defeated by you."

"Miss Serena and Loran still have such a good relationship."

Charlotte felt a pang of envy; she longed to experience that kind of mutual care between siblings. Unfortunately, her sister was far from being a loving mother; the two were practically sworn enemies.

Daisy nodded in agreement: "Yes, this kind of sibling relationship is really rare."

Her biological brother wasn't a good person either.

Anna chimed in, "Just like me and my sister."

Ah, there's actually a heretic here who's quite close to his sisters.

--------------

When Laura arrived in the capital of Antaya, it was nearing the end of the year. But for some reason, after stepping into the capital, Laura felt that the atmosphere around her was a bit off.

The capital of Antaya was also celebrating the birth of the Seven Gods, and the streets were bustling with activity. However, Laura keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere permeating the surroundings.

She was a little puzzled, but didn't think about it too much and obediently went home.

Laura's grandfather, Lantela, opened the door. Upon seeing Laura, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face: "Lola, you're back."

"Yes, Grandpa, I'm back! I'm starving!"

"Okay, ask your grandma to prepare dinner for you. I'll go buy groceries."

"What are you saying? I'll go."

Laura's grandmother, Caitlin, stopped Lantra. Seeing this, Laura was also a little confused: "Isn't it usually Grandpa who goes grocery shopping?"

"Oh, Grandma wants to go for a walk today."

"...That's fine."

Laura narrowed her eyes and didn't ask any more questions.

During dinner, Lantra inquired about Laura's life over the past six months, and Laura gave her a reply. It seemed like a normal dinner, but there was a pervasive sense of oppression.

There was a slight disturbance outside the door.

"what happened?"

Laura frowned, noticing something amiss outside the door, and carefully took out her staff.

The door was suddenly forced open.

"When the police are handling a case, bystanders should stay away!"

A group of people in patrol uniforms rushed in, led by a second-tier official. Laura recognized him; he was Mocha, the patrol chief. A little over a year ago, Mocha was just a candidate for patrol chief, but a year later, thanks to the Sicana case, he had become the chief and his strength had reached the second tier.

"What brings the inspection department to this old man's house?"

Lantra frowned, and Mocha said, "By order of His Majesty and Knight Commander Elisa, arrest the traitor Lantra!"

“A traitor, a murderer who killed the princess and fled, has now become the king and knight commander of Antaya… How ridiculous.”

Lantra showed no sign of backing down, his tone firm. Mocha sneered and waved his hand: "Arrest them!"

But before the inspectors could make a move, several ice-cold figures appeared in front of them.

"Hey you guys, don't treat me like I'm invisible."

Laura's staff gleamed coldly: "You just barge into someone's house, ramble on and on, and then try to arrest them. You...you really look down on people, don't you?"

Chapter 256 Laura Seems to Be Involved in a Major Event

The police officers and Laura were locked in a stalemate. As members of the lower ranks of this small country, they had not yet reached the extraordinary level. Among the police officers present, only Mocha, the director, was at the second level.

"Miss Laura."

Mocha frowned: "Can I take that as you want to protect the traitors?"

"What 'betraying the party'? I don't understand what you're talking about at all!"

Laura snorted coldly: "I just got home today and was having dinner when you all came to cause trouble!"

"I think Miss Laura is not yet aware of the current situation in Antaya."

Mocha paused for a moment, then continued, "Ten days ago, my king, the great Frederick I, broke through to the fifth rank. The tyrant Drew III was overthrown by my king, and now the only king of the Kingdom of Antaya is my king, the great Frederick I."

"Our king, mindful of the wise men of the previous Antaya royal family, has already shown mercy by retaining Antaya as the name of the country. However, there are still some stubborn rebels who attempt to overthrow Your Majesty's rule."

“Rantla behind you is one of the traitors.”

Frederick I?

Laura frowned. Where did this person come from? Wait, if she remembered correctly, the surname Frederick... is that of the Knight Commander?

He broke through to the fifth rank and then seized the throne? But wasn't the Knight Commander loyal to the Antaya royal family? How could he do such a thing?

"We are acting on the orders of Lady Knight Commander Elisa to arrest the traitors. Miss Laura, please step aside and do not go astray."

Alyssa?

The name sounded somewhat familiar. Laura rummaged through her memories and remembered that this was the fugitive who had assassinated the princess of the Antaya royal family two years ago, then slaughtered an entire noble family, and finally escaped.

She's back? And she's become a Knight Commander?

Seriously? It's only been ten days! How come so many things have happened in my hometown?

Laura was having a hard time.

No wonder she didn't receive any news. Ten days ago, she was still in the carriage. Even if Lantra wanted to write to Lorraine, the letter wouldn't have arrived in time.

Miss Laura sighed and rubbed her forehead.

She didn't really care who became king, after all, Miss Laura now associated with many learned people and had no dealings with the uncultured (just kidding).

During this time, Laura has been chatting and laughing with many nobles who are even beyond the reach of the Antaya royal family, and has even become the junior sister of the president of the Cartel Federation. In short, she is already an extraordinary figure.

Therefore, Laura wasn't too concerned about whether a coup had occurred in the Kingdom of Antaya. She wasn't a royalist, and who became king was none of her business.

only……

"I understand."

Laura sighed: "I don't care whose orders you're on, but you're dreaming if you think you can arrest my family right in front of me."

Although her opponent was also a Tier 2, Miss Laura was quite confident. Besides, if all else failed, there was always Teacher Kasna, wasn't there?

"Sigh, you little brat who only uses people when she needs them and ignores them when she doesn't."

Kasna complained in her mind, "You said you were afraid of scaring your grandparents and wouldn't let me come out, but now you might not be able to handle it yourself and are waiting for me to save the day... Humph, I'm really going to get angry."

"Teacher, please! You're the best, teacher!"

Laura immediately started to act coquettishly towards Kasna in her mind, without any restraint.

"Sigh, fine, fine, what can I do but take you as my disciple?"

Kasna shook her head, somewhat helplessly: "But it's really not a crisis right now. After all, you shouldn't be so bad as to be unable to defeat a second-tier opponent in a small place like this."

"As expected, Lady Laura is quite amazing."

Laura smugly narrowed her eyes. Although Kasnae had told her that Mocha couldn't beat her, he still had a lot of police officers behind him. She not only had to stop Mocha, but also those police officers—after all, her grandparents were just ordinary people.

"Lola".

Lantra suddenly spoke up: "Stop."

"what?"

Laura scratched her head: "Why?"

“I know you’re very capable now, but it’s still impossible for you to face the entire country on your own.”

Lantra sighed, "Alright, let's go find Mr. Loran, and then don't come back."

Laura was stunned.

After a long while, Kasna's voice rang in Laura's mind: "You didn't tell your grandfather just how strong that guy Loran really is, did you?"

"Um... because Loran, who's always been joking around and acting unreliable with me, is actually a seventh-tier saint or something, which is really hard to accept."

Laura was a little embarrassed: "Because I thought it would be too troublesome to explain, I always told my grandfather that Loran is a minor nobleman in Isnar, and he has some strength, but he is weaker than the Knight Commander."

After all, in Lantra's view, the Knight Commander was the ceiling he could comprehend.

"Fine……"

Kasna sighed and Laura sighed, "Alright, Grandpa, don't worry, you'll be fine."

As she spoke, her aura surged, her light gray short hair transformed into ice blue long hair, and her eyes also turned ice blue.

Everyone present looked surprised, and even Lantra and Caitlin, who were about to say something, were stunned.
