MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

 Chapter 551 Familiarity between Lan Qi and Sigre

 In the temple, under the rock and the idol of the sheltering god.

“You are a true craftsman, we don’t know how to thank you!”

The High Lord of Argom came excitedly and held Lan Qi's hands.

“How on earth were you able to complete the missing divine characters and even give it a new magical effect?”

Algom was puzzled. Although he had invited scholars from many races before, no one told him that it was possible to repair these ancient writings.

“Some craftsmen are good at painting, some are good at engraving, and some like to study academics. If you know a little bit about ancient relics, you may still be able to make up for it.”

Lanci explained modestly.

 “So what are you best at?”

The High Lord of Argom looked at the rock and the statue of Shelter again. For a moment, he couldn't tell what kind of craftsman Lanqi was.

　　The voice of Lord Argom was deep and powerful, and his eyes were full of respect.

 “I know a little bit about everything.”

 “Haha, as expected of you.”

"Mr. Lodge, the skills and professionalism you showed today deeply moved us all. You not only restored our statues, but also repaired our trust in human craftsmen. I will definitely write a personal letter for you Several other great lords, please ask them to provide you with the best care."

"Won't you find it troublesome? After all, in my opinion, you don't necessarily believe in gods."

"Don't be so heavy-handed, Mr. Algom. I just want to make friends with you. Don't put too much pressure on me. Even if there is no reward or no matter how dangerous it is, I will actually do my best to repair the statue for you during this trip to the Land of Eternal Night." , if there are any items related to the Rock and the God of Sanctuary that need to be repaired in the future, you can send someone to Helsalem to find me at any time, or contact Queen Kesia."

"The work you have just done is not only an art, but also a sacred contribution. We are deeply grateful, Mr. Lodge. Please remember that whenever and wherever you need help, we will not hesitate to support."

"…Yeah."

 At this moment he was full of interest in this great human craftsman.

 He has never seen such clear eyes.

 He added, seeming to feel that these basic help were unrewarded.

　　Ranci replied with a smile.

The High Lord of Argom and Lan Qi looked at each other for a long time and smiled in relief.

 Because craftsmen with such skills are willing to help them repair them for a negligible reward, it can only be said to be purely a favor.

 He ordered a group of temple guards and priests to temporarily evacuate and entertain the crowd in the temple, and accompanied the imperial craftsman alone, chatting with him.

The applause and cheers of the bear orcs filled the entire temple, and in this festive atmosphere, the High Lords of Argom continued to express their most sincere thanks to Lanqi.

The High Lord of Argom said with sincerity.

Lan Qifeng smiled calmly and waved his hands, looking into Argom's eyes.

 He wanted to believe that there was no impurity in the craftsman's heart and that all of this was a spontaneous act out of his sense of responsibility.

The High Lord of Argom walked beside Lan Qi and said to him.

 He took Lan Qi away from the noise and walked to the inside of the temple. He and Lan Qi were walking and chatting.

He has seen many human beings, whose souls are endlessly surging, vast and dazzling, and can carry themselves out without relying on any faith. This human being in front of him gave him a particularly strong feeling.

"no, I can not."

Lanqi shook his head and waved his hands.

 He thought for a while, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The thoughts that come to my mind are like lovers standing in front of me. I admire your spirit very much. You believe in gods, protect the land, and regulate yourself. It is really surprising that you can have such good faith in this world. Praise from within.”

Lanchi replied.

Next, he humbly shared his thoughts and experience in maintaining idols, and chatted with Algom about his interpretation of the Rock and Shelter chapter in the Book of Genesis. His words revealed his love for craftsmanship and cultural diversity. Sexual respect, suggesting how Algom should ask his men to clean the idols regularly.

The High Lord of Argom listened with great interest, expressed his agreement from time to time, and became fascinated unknowingly.

The sky gradually turned white, and the temple in Little Rock looked purer in the morning light.

"Mr. Argom, I have to go to the next city-state. We should have many opportunities to meet in the future, if you are willing."

When the time came to say goodbye, Lanci looked at the clock and apologized for Algom's warm reception.

 “Of course, I look forward to meeting you next time.”

The Lord of Argom held Ranchi's hand tightly, reluctantly wishing him all the best in his upcoming journey, and presented him with a commemorative badge representing friendship.

Soon, after saying goodbye, Lan Qi left the temple along a less conspicuous backup passage.

 At the end of the passage, he stopped and changed his attire.

Lanchi took off his craftsman's uniform, put it in his suitcase, and returned to his Protos empire-style formal suit.

When leaving the temple, Lan Qi looked up at the sky and found that the morning light had begun to rise on the horizon.

The air is filled with the breath of a new day, but also mixed with the unique coldness and freshness of Little Rock.

Lanqi took a deep breath and felt the breath of this land.

“Hey, I remember Sigre left halfway before.”

 He looked around the entrance of the temple, but did not see Sigre.

Walking alone through the stone square and neatly arranged stalls.

 Lanqi looked around and finally spotted Sigre's figure in a corner outside the temple. She was sitting under a prominent stone pillar, surrounded by several young orcs.

They were playing cards together, and there were a few banknotes on the ground. The atmosphere seemed quite relaxed and happy.

Sigre looked focused on her face, sitting on the ground and placing bets with a group of gangsters.

 And seeing the banknotes in her hand, it seemed that she had just won a small amount of money.

It is very likely that they just made a bet that Lanqi could successfully complete the repair work.

Lan Qi slowly walked over and stood beside Sigre.

He didn’t rush her, he just frowned slightly.

Sigre looked up and glanced at Lanqi.

The silence made her a little uncomfortable.

 It’s like being picked up from school by your parents.

　　“It’s okay, you finish this game.”

Lanci reminded.

　　The surrounding orc gangsters looked at Sigre in surprise. This dirty-looking girl actually had a well-dressed rich man pick her up.

 “No, it’s boring.”

 Sigre stood up from the ground, patted his pants, and motioned for Lan Qi to leave together.

 Two people were walking on the road in Little Rock.

 They are going to the inn to get back the Snowfield Deer.

Lanchi remained silent for a long time.

 “I didn’t waste my time, why do you look unhappy?”

Sigre glanced at Lan Qi and asked bluntly.

 “I’m not unhappy.”

Lanci replied naturally.

"Farewell, if you say you are angry, then you are not angry. If you say you are not angry, then you are a little angry."

 Sigre spread her hands and said.

The nun in the orphanage was like this too. When the priest made her angry, she would say this.

　　　…”

Lanqi was silent for a moment,

"Although I won't tell you what hobbies are good and bad at this age, or say something like 'what should a girl do at your age?', after all, my best friend always likes It’s a small gamble, but I think it’s necessary to say a few words.”

Lan Qi's eyes were calm, as if he was saying - you asked me to say it, so no matter what I say, don't get angry in return.

"you say."

 Sigre nodded.

　　I was already scolded by this man for drinking before. This time he caught me gambling, so he will definitely scold me again.

“Good people will not go to bad places, but bad people will come to good places. You have to know how to draw a clear line.”

 Lanqi tilted his head slightly and looked at Sigre with great concern.

 Sigre was stunned for a long time.

 She has never heard anyone preach to her like this.

“Tsk, you actually look down on me in your heart, right?”

Sigre thought for a while, then turned her head and clicked her tongue.

　　　…”

 Lanqi didn’t answer, just looked ahead,

“You could have entered the elegant hall with me just now, but you stayed outside voluntarily.”

Lan Qi walked towards the city gate, minding his own business.

“Sometimes the choice is always yours.”

 Everyone has the opportunity to change for the better, but it may be difficult to notice without being reminded.

He stated a fact calmly, as if telling her that she had the qualifications of a king, but she might also be willing to perish.

Maybe Lan Qi quickened his pace a little, or maybe Sigre's steps became hesitant for a short time.

Sigre was silent for a long time, and then trotted to follow him.

"oh."

 Sigre responded.

 The little black cat sat on Lan Qi's shoulder.

 Looking at Sigre's small figure.

It didn’t expect that these two people would get along so smoothly.

Although Sigre appears to be bohemian, she is surprisingly able to listen to Lan Qi’s discipline.

ps: The next chapter will jump directly to several city-states. As we approach the end of the Demon Realm, I said that I will not write about one city-state at a time. The reason for the six city-states is because they have to correspond to six days, which is easier to understand and remember. There are still people there. Questioning my six city-states in this chapter will take a long time ()
