After several treatnt regins, Lanci and Fallen Lord Calila finally left the circular enclosed space located at the deepest part of the research institute.
Passing through a long streamlined corridor and a phantasmagoria corridor, they stepped out from the black illusion door and returned to the Central Control Room.
"I’ve taken care of the Fourth Ancestor. The ’Trinity Experint’ can continue,"
Lanci said, waving to True Night Sir McCarthy, who was bustling about the laboratory.
When he left the Palante Empire, he had left behind the "Shalem Project" there.
The ’Trinity Experint’ was, in fact, the core of the main entry of the "Shalem Project".
"Understood,"
True Night Sir Esmod didn’t say much, nodded to both Lanci and Fallen Lord Calila, and started his busy work again.
"By the way, why is this experint called the Trinity?"
Lord Calila asked.
She knew that the project combined many Demon World engineering principles, including the technology of the Huo Ning Empire’s testing grounds to transform humans into mbers of the Demon Race, and the Forbidden Curse Seal of the Great Love Poet. Now, with the patient’s consent, their transformation of the Fourth Ancestor, Eduado, was making smooth progress.
And this vampire transformation trial was personally nad "Trinity Experint" by Lord Unknown.
"It has to do with a church within the human realms. Do you know about the secret Church of Ceremony?"
Lanci stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Calila.
"I’ve heard of it. I rember the princess was also involved in this esoteric church, but it was never large in scale, and was throttled in the cradle by the Blood Clan several tis,"
After a mont of thought, Fallen Lord Calila nodded.
"Recently, there has been a leadership change within the church, and many of the doctrines have been revised. In the new doctrines of the Church of Ceremony, there is a section on the concept of the Trinity, which is a core concept of the doctrine,"
Lanci said, placing his hands on his chest and speaking to Fallen Lord Calila,
"According to the concept of the Trinity, the God worshipped by the Church of Ceremony is a unique being, but also exists in three persons or hypostases: the Heavenly Father, the Son of Man, and the Holy Spirit."
"These three persons make up the entirety of God."
The Heavenly Father represents the hypostasis of God as creator, sustainer, and ruler.
The Son of Man represents the hypostasis of God incarnated as a human, that is, the current church leader.
The Holy Spirit represents the supre divinity of God at work and in revelation within the world.
"The concept of the Trinity emphasizes that the three personas of God are of the sa substance and indivisible, but they manifest in different aspects and roles,"
"..."
Calila listened with slightly furrowed brows.
"God is not just an abstract idea but a being with profound existence, beyond full comprehension by living creatures,"
Lanci explained patiently to Calila, with a hint of a smile,
"This is the gap between human finitude and divine infinitude."
"Perhaps the na ’Trinity’ is a warning to us that creatures now possess tools capable of destroying the world, becoming the Death God,"
he said.
"After seeing how you convinced Eduado, and hearing what you’re saying now, I’m inclined to believe that if you went to the human realms, you’d likely end up a cult leader involved in brainwashing and pyramid sches,"
Calila murmured, shaking her head.
She felt that while Lord Unknown was knowledgeable, his expertise always seed to converge on so rather peculiar areas.
Calila did not hurry to leave the Central Control Room but instead had Lanci take a seat on the sofa as she had sothing to discuss with him.
The remaining work here could be handled by True Night Sir and the Great Love Poet, and the Fourth Ancestor, Eduado, no longer required the personal control of Fallen Lord Calila.
Finally, she could free up her hands to talk business with Lanci.
"I heard you lived in the Palante Empire for so ti before?"
Calila sat opposite Lanci and inquired.
There were many rumors about McCarthy in Naikarisu City, but most of them were more fiction than fact.
Fortunately, Lord Raeming and Lord Unknown had a close relationship, so Calila was able to learn so things about McCarthy from Lord Raeming.
"Indeed."
After settling in, Lanci nodded.
A decade or so was indeed just "so ti" for mbers of the Demon Race.
So much so that at the age of several hundred or even a thousand, a mber of the Demon Race might still feel young, not realizing that they might be past the age of marriage.
"..."
Calila frowned once more.
She always felt that Lord Unknown seed to be thinking about sothing slightly impolite.
But she couldn’t put her finger on the specifics.
After so thought, Calila decided not to dwell on it.
"Our Demon World is going to the Palante Empire next, and we need a mber of the Demon Race with clout, and I am best suited as a bodyguard,"
she told Lanci.
The Palante Empire didn’t have any Ninth-order humans, unable to confront her head-on, certainly wouldn’t allow a Ninth-order Great Demon to penetrate deep into the capital, Hershalraym.
Although in Hershalraym, the heartland of the capital, if Fallen Lord Calila truly wished to take action, there would still be the city defense barrier and ancient relics to contend with her, along with the Palante Empire’s Eighth-order Martial God. She might not be able to leave unhard.
But if the visit were indeed just for negotiations, the Palante Empire would likely only allow her to stay in a border city, under the arrangents of the Palante Empire, to et with important figures of the empire.
The problem with that was, she wouldn’t necessarily be able to et the people she wanted to see.
"If my movents in the Palante Empire are limited, then I can only wait for their people to co to , and it’s likely that I’ll et soone like the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke Moriarty."
Calila continued.
According to the customs of the Palante Empire, the first priority in communicating with our Demon World would be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Duke Moriarty, who would then relay the ssage to the cabinet.
But whether Duke Moriarty would interfere with the transmission of the Demon Race’s intentions was another matter.
As the leader of the conservative party, Duke Moriarty had his own judgnts and interests.
"..."
Lanci went quiet for a mont.
He probably understood what Fallen Lord intended; if she, a Ninth-order Great Demon, traveled to the Palante Empire with the intention of being a bodyguard rather than acting as a personal envoy, it would be less likely to arouse the suspicion and vigilance of the Palante Empire.
"Do you plan to let Hyperion go to the Palante Empire in person?"
Lanci asked.
"Initially, yes, but now I think it’s more appropriate for you to go. After all, she is to marry you, and it wouldn’t be quite in keeping with our Demon Race’s traditions for a princess to et another man in a foreign country during her honeymoon,"
Calila slightly opened a slit in her eyes, observing Lanci’s expression, as if assessing his intent.
Her eyes had a natural allure, so she usually kept them closed to avoid disrupting her allies.
"..."
"Do you have any concerns?"
Calila asked softly, not wanting to force the issue.
She sensed sothing peculiar in Lanci’s expression, as if it might be inconvenient for him to undertake a mission to the Palante Empire.
