MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

Chapter 4 The way Lan Qi studies law is scary

The road paved with stone slabs in the border city-state of South Wantina looks quaint and peaceful under the soft light of the morning.

 Lanqi walked slowly, with a sunny and cheerful smile on his face.

Thalia's murderous intention was solved in this way.

　　It is not difficult for him at all.

 Next, he is going to the planned destination today—the library of the border city-state.

This place that his predecessor would never go to is like an endless treasure world to Lan Qi at this time.

Although the libraries in border city-states are far inferior to those in large cities or the well-known royal libraries in the kingdom.

 But many rare books that cannot be found at home are collected in libraries in towns and cities.

 Lanci has many interesting books that I urgently need to read.

 At the thought of being able to live a peaceful life again, Lan Qi felt full of expectation.

As long as he is not killed by Thalia and does not let her get the crucial start-up funds for the restoration plan, it seems that the world has been saved from chaos and become better in disguise.

 As for the mere 3 pounds a day promised to her.

 Even if she stayed by his side until she died, there would be no talk of restoring the country.

By the time she has earned enough money to no longer have to sleep in the open air, she will probably be tired of this ordinary town and will soon choose to leave.

 After all, she is different from him. He just wants to be a commoner who can live freely, while she has the ambition not to fall into the clouds.

Lanqi thought to himself, and went to a bakery highly recommended by the maid. After buying today's breakfast, he held the paper bag and continued walking on the street to the library.

 The library is not too far from his home.

Even if you walk like this, you can reach the library in about thirty minutes.

  In the early morning, the shops on the street have already opened their doors to welcome the day's business. Along the stone slabs of the road, there is an alluring aroma of bread and coffee.

Morning glow and mist drift around the buildings on both sides, and green moss covers the end of the winding road, seeming to tell the heaviness and glory of history.

As we get closer and closer, the church bells echo in our ears, and the melodious music is holy and pious.

As far as the eyes can see, every building is magnificent.

 Lanci bites into a black truffle cheese croissant and breathes in the fresh morning air.

 Unknowingly, I arrived in front of the Border Library.

 The next few days.

 He who is thirsty for knowledge will definitely become a frequent visitor here.

On the front of the huge building, a row of majestic stone pillars stand on the wide steps, and the outer walls are covered with stones that have accumulated over time.

 Step inside.

 Only the edge of the long arched window can be seen inlaid with intricate patterns, reflecting a soft halo.

 Go straight to the counter and quickly apply for a library card.

Lanchi then walked into the large reading area.

Following the instructions on the indoor map, he found the books in the legal literature area, tapped the spines of the books with his fingers, and scanned them quickly like running water.

 Soon, Lan Qi took out a heavy book from the bookshelf—

 《Code of the Kingdom of Hutton》

He took the book with him, sat down at the long table with satisfaction, and began to read.

 Since we have come to such a fantasy world.

 In addition to understanding the situation and intelligence of this world.

Then most people will be eager to start exploring their own talents or try the possibility of learning magic.

But Lan Qi didn’t.

 He wants to study the Dharma.

Magic and power are certainly important in this world. Magic cards, for example, can bring people unimaginable wealth and extraordinary power. Lanqi is probably convinced that he has good card-making talent.

However, becoming an excellent card maker does not happen overnight.

 He also needs a lot of magical engineering knowledge as well as hard practice and practice.

 Looking at the present, knowledge and wisdom are the foundation for his livelihood.

  Sometimes, knowing the law can make your opponent lose a life sentence and win a death sentence on the spot.

 So he is not in a hurry to study magic cards for the time being.

 He felt that whenever he arrived at a place, the most important thing was to fully understand the laws of the country.

  —or “ground rules.”

So today Lan Qi came to the town library early in the morning, found a copy of the latest revised version of the "Code of the Kingdom of Hutton", and began to study it word for word carefully.

 He has always abided by the law and would never do anything prohibited by law.

 …

 Until sunset.

 The setting sun shone warmly into the library through the windows, and a quiet atmosphere filled the air.

Lan Qi was at the desk, his eyes lingering on the books. While reading, he gently brushed the thin pages.

The orange-red sunlight passed through the glass window and shone on his face, which was focused on reading, adding a bit of softness and elegance to his face.

 “Isn’t that literary boy super good-looking?”

"Yes, he is serious and focused. He has been sitting there reading law books all day. He is a super academic at first glance."

“Wait a minute, isn’t he a **** from the Wilfort family? That Ranchy Wilford who has a very bad reputation?”

“Well...but it can be seen that he really respects the law. Maybe the rumors are not so true!”

　　The girls sitting behind the counter were whispering to each other and peeking at Lan Qi from time to time.

His soft black hair and clear emerald green pupils complemented his innate temperament of a poet and painter. Once he was no longer so dandy, his whole person seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

However, Lan Qi, who was concentrating on reading, seemed to have ignored the time and did not notice the irrelevant movement in the library at all.

It wasn’t until the light outside the window gradually became dimmer that he realized that it was almost time for the library to close.

 After looking away from the page, I finally felt a long-lost sourness in my eyes.

 Looking up, I found that the people in the library had become sparse.

“Let’s study a little bit about the basics of magic engineering in this world tomorrow.”

Lanci muttered to himself, put a bookmark in the codex, and then closed the codex.

 It’s time to go home.

In addition to borrowing the unfinished code of law, he also probably made a list of his own books to borrow.

 For example, he was very interested in several books that he accidentally glanced at while searching for the Codex:

  "Basic Characteristics of Cults"

 "How to prevent brainwashing based on mental magic"

　　"Anti-fraud case of Hutton Kingdom's Department of Magical Engineering"

 After studying the laws and regulations of the kingdom, the next step is to study magic cards.

A person with a clear heart like him must have a thorough understanding of how to deal with those dirty magics of the spiritual and curse types!

Just thinking about the possibility of others using these magics against him in the future made him feel uncomfortable.

 And just in case.

 Just in case.

 If I have to use these efficient magics someday in the future.

Then you also need to know how to bypass these precautions.

 As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be able to fight a hundred battles without danger!

  Double updates at 9pm every night!
