Chapter 161: Ranchi's Plan of Limitless Merit
e.In the history of Icterite Academy, it's almost unheard of for two freshmen to team up and venture into the Real Shadow World on the very first day of school!You know, the vast majority of first-yea...Chapter 162: Lan Qi's Plan of Boundless Merit
In the brightly lit bedroom, the two people looked at each other. [The updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, with error correction being the most timely. Due to caching reasons, it is recommended to browse the official website.]

It is indeed so...
But Huberlian felt that if Viscount Augustine were to be controlled by Ranchi, that would be the truly serious problem!
She has already understood Ranch's slang.
This guy wants to personally go and save Sir Augustine.
Then, seize control of Lord Augustine.
Obtain a level 6 blood race experiment subject at your disposal!
You are not a traitor, but what you've done surpasses even the traitors!
"Stissera, you'll have to stay in this room for the next few days. We can't reveal that you've become our comrade during our live streams. On the surface, we are still enemies, but we will bring you three meals a day. Just let us know if you need anything."
Ranch said to the Goddess Stisera.
Steisela nodded obediently.
Although she knew the challengers couldn't possibly trust her outright, Ranchi's words made her feel very comfortable and secure.
"Hubert, let's talk as we walk."
Lanche had already walked to the bedroom door with his notebook, his fingers gently gripping the doorknob on the frame. With a light pull, the ancient hinges creaked softly, and the thick door swung open silently. A wave of bone-chilling night air from the castle corridor rushed in.
"Hmm."
Two figures walked out of room 203. The door closed slowly behind them and latched shut. The carvings on the back of the door were illuminated by the corridor lights, casting mottled shadows that seemed to speak of the passage of time in this era.
On the second floor corridor, wall lamps cast a warm yellow light, bathing them in a soft glow and stretching their shadows long.
"What on earth are you trying to do... "
Hepherlyan walked down the hallway on the second floor of the castle and asked Rance.
They walked side by side, the black wooden floor beneath them a vast silence where they could hear their own heartbeats.
"Don't you think sealing a blood clan duke once would be considered a great deed"
Lanrick turned his head, smiling and looking into Huberlia's eyes.
"... "
Huperlian's eyes widened slightly,
"Yes, that's right."
She knows that, generally speaking, completing such a key turning point in this more convoluted process will result in an achievement being awarded in the final rating of the Shadow World, and the overall score will be correspondingly increased.
Compared to the last time Purgatory Corridor Academy achieved an outrageous SSS rating, Lance accomplished a number of extraordinary feats that normal challengers couldn't even dream of.
This time their team must have also accomplished some extremely strange achievements, but even Huberlian isn't sure what the final rating will be, S or S .
Under normal circumstances, an A or S rank is already the highest possible rating. Anything higher would only occur if the entire world of movies was made incredibly absurd.
Huperlian probably wants to make one last push and score a big win, securing an SSS rank.
But compared to what Lancy and Fray have already accomplished, even if there are still some scoring points to be excavated in Objective 2, how much impact could it have on the overall rating, which is already extraordinarily high
"You know about the Hubertians, right Vampires hide in a safe place during the day, sealing themselves inside coffins to sleep. This ensures they aren't exposed to sunlight or dug up by enemies."
Lanche and Huberlian explained carefully.
"Understood."
Huperlyan thought for a moment and nodded.
This is indeed common knowledge that was mentioned at the very beginning of the Shadow World.
The blood race inherently possesses sealing techniques, capable of defensively sealing themselves.
"So, if we could train the Marquess and coffin combination into a fully automatic sealing cycle machine, making him repeat the process of 'unseal' - 'seal' - 'unseal' under my command for four days, wouldn't that be like me sealing the Marquess tens of thousands of times"
"Lance spread his hands with a smile, proudly explaining."
Every time a Blood Duke is sealed, even if it's considered one good deed, then in these four days he must have accumulated immeasurable merit!
"..."
Hueberlian gazed at Lanche's emerald green eyes, her own widening in surprise.
Her lips were slightly parted, but her throat was unable to produce any sound for a long time!
Seeing the pure smile on Lance's face, Huberleyan was certain that Lance had come up with a way to gain merit points by performing crazy sacrifices!
Originally, all their achievements in this shadow world were just paving the way. The real scoring package is just beginning now.
That's it, the corridor was awfully quiet.
They passed by a row of bedrooms, glancing through the windows to see the moonlit forest outside, like sleeping giants, mysterious and tranquil.
A row of portraits lining the wall, the landscapes and faces within them seemed to dance with their steps, their gazes carrying curiosity, leisure, and even solemnity.
After arriving in this Shadow World, Huberli never feared for long because Lance was always by her side.
Now that Lance is around, she's very scared.
"Ranch..."
"Huh"
It's nothing...
As the two reached the top of the stairs, their palms ran over the carved handrail, tracing the rough and cold marks of time etched into the stone.
After finding the traitor, the focus shifted to confronting the Destroyer Saint and Count Palocas. Everyone else stopped caring about the identities of the werewolves and witches.
Now, besides the known witch Huberliane, to unlock the seal of Lord Augustine, one must also find a werewolf.
Huberly increasingly felt that in just five minutes, Ranchi had walked the paths of betrayal in the lives of two historical figures.
Stay quiet.
Stepping onto the stairs paved with solid stones, each step down produced a faint echo, like the heartbeat of this castle in the dead of night.
Soon, the two of them arrived on the third floor. A gentle breeze wafted in from the windows open along the hallway, carrying the fresh and cool air of the night from higher up.
"Lance, I always feel like this isn't karma..."
Hesperian, who had been lingering on the verge of speech, finally conveyed her thoughts in a roundabout way.
"Shall we really make Lord Augustine do sit-ups for a whole four days..."
Huperly murmured softly.
She was doing everything she could to save Lance's humanity.
She remembered the first time she saw Lance, he was at least human.
Even in the third round of entrance exams, their first collaboration, Lanchi was still within the realm of animals.
Since his harrowing journey through the Purgatory's Hallway academy, Lance began to run blindly in an unknown direction.
It seems like the condition has worsened again.
She couldn't imagine what he would become after Lan Qi infiltrated the Revival Church and experienced the remaining two shadow worlds of the Blood Moon Apocalypse series...
"Don't worry, the specific work will be left to the great poets and priests when the time comes. Our job is simply to rescue Sir Augustine and deliver him to the priests. The priests will handle the rest, and the divine rewards will be directly bestowed by the Goddess of Fate – officially certified, you see."
Ranch explained rationally and logically.
Although the merit might be marked up by three clergymen as intermediaries, the official channel and genuine products are trustworthy.
"Once our fully automated Augustine Duke Cycle Device is developed, we can also record it in the 'On Ecological Balance and Vampire Governance' report."
Lanche even rubbed his hands together excitedly, feeling that this trip to the shadow world was truly rewarding.
""
Huberley was taken aback again upon hearing this.
She covered her face with both hands and gradually began to sob softly.
She had worked for over ten years to be recognized as a person by the people of Icteris, but her dream was shattered all at once when she met Lance.
