MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

 Chapter 670 Lanci and Talia feel like they had a date

 The next day.

 “Today is the second day that you have arrived at the capital of Paisen Kingdom, Parieu.”

“Early in the morning, you started dating Tata…”

The cat boss’s immature voice was stopped halfway by the death stares of Lan Qi and Talia.

　　The little black cat shrank its head and turned back into a quiet pure black sugar-free whole wheat bread.

　　In the early morning on the streets of Parrieux, a man and woman walked through the old-era style streets on the north bank of Parrieux.

 Their pace was slow, as if the whole city was playing a leisurely tune for them.

The aroma of coffee exudes from the street cafes, while the phalaenopsis, viola, and begonias in the brown-brick flower shops are particularly bright in the morning light, with dewdrops sparkling between the petals.

Ranci was wearing a simple gray shirt jacket today, looking casual and casual.

 Lan Qi hugged Boss Cat and said.

The accommodation arranged for them by Countess Rosalinda, the Hotel Spirit of Palais des Platinum is located in the Parrieux 2 district. It has an excellent location, just walking distance from Palais des Platinum and the Pont des Arts.

With the summer breeze of Parrieux caressing his face, Lan Qi couldn't help feeling sleepy and yawned lazily.

Overall, the Platinum Palace Spirit Hotel perfectly combines the traditional Poisson-style living experience with modern comfort facilities, making it an ideal accommodation choice when visiting Parrieux.

They seem to have no other way to increase the tacit understanding of cooperative card making. Instead of doing some useless exercises, they might as well listen to Professor Pollao and give it a try.

Lanchi lowered his head and asked Thalia beside him.

Lan Qi had no choice but to obey her.

 Originally led by Nan Wantina, Lan Qi would get up early and go out on time every day. Unexpectedly, this guy actually had difficulty getting up.

Since the hotel is very close to two special attractions, they did not plan to go there in a hurry. Anyway, they can pass by at any time.

He also plans to sleep until ninety o'clock before going out, and occasionally wants to be lazy.

After going out today, we unanimously decided to go to the downtown area of ​​​​the North Bank.

"I do not know."

As for why he wore gray, he said it was to pay tribute to the legendary mentor.

One of the features of this hotel is that breakfast can be enjoyed in a "cave"-like space. In addition, the hotel also provides a 24-hour reception service to ensure the comfort and convenience of guests.

 Lan Qi shook his head, his words were rather weak.

Either escorting Lan Qi, or teaching Lan Qi how to make cards.

 This caused her to wake up and when she regained consciousness, she would basically wake Lan Qi up too.

As a crossroads of multiculturalism, the downtown area of ​​Huadu Parrieux not only contains the traditional art and food of the Poisen Kingdom, but is also influenced by the Poisen Demonic World and other parts of the world.

　　　…”

As always, she looked extraordinarily beautiful without any makeup. Thalia was wearing a light white dress. The hem of the skirt swayed gently with her steps. Her long gray hair was gently blown by the morning breeze in the old neighborhood. Like an elf coming out of a painting, pure and beautiful.

But Thalia summoned herself from the magic card state at seven o'clock, and woke him up by the way.



 Last night, it was already early in the morning when we returned to their hotel from Countess Rosalinda's house.

“Speaking of which, if we travel together like this, can it really enhance our tacit understanding?”

Now the two of them are a little idle.

Thalia felt that when she and Lanqi were in Nanwantina, they would set off together every morning and send him home after sunset.

 Thalia said to herself.

Thalia was silent for a while,

 The reason is that she wants to go downstairs for breakfast.

 “But that’s how Professor Pollao teaches.”

They were casually looking at the morning bouquets on the street. They didn't feel like a couple at all. They both seemed to find it boring to go out with each other.

“I didn’t expect you to sleep in.”

Since Thalia and the Great Love Poet merged into one, she will return to the magic card state and sleep every night, staying in Lanqi's soul space to reduce Lanqi's mana consumption and give him time to recover mana. .

Thalia asked.

 It can’t be a date.

  The museums, art galleries, theaters and concert halls in the city are further witnesses of this cultural integration. The literary scene is also extremely rich. Many cafes and bookstores were once gathering places for famous writers and thinkers.

“I know, I’ll use your magic power sparingly in the future.”

　　　…”

In other words, she couldn't find out the specific purpose of their trip today, and whether the "increased tacit understanding" they pursued could be realized.

"Have you ever thought about who it is because of that? I have consumed so much mana recently. It can be said that I am very tired every day, and I feel much more sleepy than before."

 It's just that their purpose was clear at that time.

 She said.

  Consumption of a large amount of mana will indeed produce a sense of fatigue.

She never thought that she had greatly increased Lan Qi's fatigue by using his magic power. On the contrary, she unexpectedly found this state of maintaining the body of a demon king and still being able to move around freely very comfortable.

 “What shall we have for lunch?”

Thalia walked with Lanqi, and the surrounding building scenery kept changing.

 If it’s a date, this is the right thing to ask first.

　　　…”

Lan Qi was slightly stunned.

It was like she didn't expect Thalia to ask this question so early in the morning, and it was also like she heard an overly familiar question.

“Le Jourvina, located on the second floor of the Parrieu Rose Tower, offers a unique location and panoramic view of the center of Parrieu as well as haute poisson cuisine, making it not only a place to enjoy gourmet food but also to experience the iconic landscape of Parrieu Excellent location.”

 Soon he came to his senses and spoke,

“Or the Selection of Lastrance Poisson, a restaurant helmed by Poisson chef Pascal Barrieux, famous for its innovative Poisson cuisine, especially the careful selection and magic of ingredients. The creative presentation of the dishes has won high praise from many foreign customers.”

“Of course, there is also the option of Le Meurisse Restaurant and Bar. This highest-star restaurant located in the luxury hotel of the same name is famous in the southern continent for its classical decoration and delicious food. Customers can experience the palace-style atmosphere of the Poisson Kingdom while enjoying delicious food. luxurious."

 He listed them carefully.

 “Okay, you make the arrangements.”

 Thalia nodded.

  It has always been like this, she followed Lan Qi.

This guy always knows his way around and is very particular about choosing restaurants. Don't worry that he hasn't planned what they will eat for lunch today.

More importantly, he really takes the time to plan lunch and dinner arrangements in advance, which makes people feel that he cares about it.

but.

Obviously this is the first time you have gone out with him for something other than official business, so why does it feel like the two of them have already gone on a date?

The two of them strolled along the cobblestone road in the early morning until they passed through the streets, and their field of vision gradually broadened. The buildings, streets, and even passing pedestrians of Parrieu became the background embellishment of their story.

"By the way, although we have to investigate the curse of resentment of the great wizard Parroni, Master Chief Nigel may be a little busy these two days, and we may not be able to find him. We can only go elsewhere during the period. Let’s investigate first.” Lan Qi conveyed his thoughts to Thalia beside him.

Unlike vacation travelers like them, Nigel the Executioner has a busy military job every day and has almost no private time outside of vacation time.

 “Did you contact him this morning?”

Thalia asked him in her mind.

"Yes, he said there are some things that need to be discussed in person. Let's go find him in two days."

Ranchi replied.

Both of them have now discovered that sometimes mental communication is quite convenient, secretive and efficient.

“Before this, the executioner Nigel mentioned to me that there was an incident where demons went berserk some time ago. Not only may there be some clues, but it may also be an accident-prone area.”

Lan Qi continued to preach to her.

The Petras Auction House that Countess Rosalinda recommended them to yesterday had an incident where a cursed demon went berserk not long ago.

According to the information informed by Countess Rosalinda, the current internal investigation results of the Poisson Kingdom show that [The Resentment of the Great Wizard Parroni] is more likely to be forcibly contaminated by the curse of slave contracts and work contracts, while the safety of public citizens Contracts are actually a type that is more difficult to pollute.

Petras sometimes trades more than just precious props and materials. Sometimes there are also contracts for auction, where rich people can buy the contracts of demon servants and employees.

“Then let’s drop by the Petras Auction House next, look at the materials, do some research, and then go have lunch?”

Thalia asked Lanci.

 The weekly auction happens to be in the morning.

 The schedule for the first half of today suddenly became clear.

 Sure enough, it was still some official business, and doing it with Lan Qi would make her feel more natural.

 She didn't know how to spend just hanging out and having fun.

“No problem, going to the Petras Auction House in the Flower Capital is also a good choice recently. There are many festivals and projects in the Posen Kingdom this month, and the auction house has become particularly active.”

Lanci replied.

　　Many shadow world challengers and adventurers in the real world are not willing to sell the precious materials they obtain to the Southern Continent Card Makers Association.

 The reason why this happens is mainly because certain card makers would rather buy certain rare materials at a much higher price, but whether they can meet such a buyer requires time and luck.

Although the Southern Continent Card Makers Association can often purchase cards quickly, the prices are also relatively fair.

 However, the value definition for particularly treasured materials is often very formulaic and no premium will be given.

 If you are not in a hurry for money, you may be able to sell it at a much higher price by consigning it to a chamber of commerce or an auction house.

Therefore, there are some materials that Countess Rosalinda cannot quickly allocate for them at the Southern Continent Card Makers Association, so she can only go to other institutions to look at them.

“Why don’t you two talk anymore, meow? Don’t use your private channel, okay meow?”

 The cat boss noticed that the two of them were looking at each other for a long time, but without saying a word, so he knew that the two of them were chatting privately again.

"The two of us were discussing where to go in the morning, and now we have decided to go to the Petras Auction House in Huadu."

 Lanqi touched the cat boss and explained to him.

 “Don’t get addicted to talking like this, meow.”

 The cat boss looked at the two of them and ordered.

It doesn’t like this feeling of being excluded.

"How can it be."

 They both said to it.

"Meow."

The cat boss is relieved for now, he still likes to hear the daily chatter of these two people.

And if they are used to communicating with each other through their minds, they may not notice it when they return to Boss Cat Restaurant. From the perspective of others, they may look strange, as if they are performing a pantomime. It can be seen at a glance that they are in public again. He was doing something ambiguous underneath.

“By the way, isn’t this auction house only for members? If you don’t have a reservation, can you enter directly today?”

 The cat boss raised his head and asked.

 “No problem, have you heard Huberian talk about the Petras Chamber of Commerce?”

Lan Qi gently stroked Boss Cat.

“I’ve heard of it, isn’t this chamber of commerce quite famous? But it’s mainly in the western hub area, and in the eastern area there are only branches in the capital of Posen Kingdom.”

 The cat boss thought for a while and replied.

"Back then, Hyperion, Frey, and I met three friends from the Canberra Kingdom at the Templar Villain Dinner in the second shadow world. Among them was a young master from the Chamber of Commerce who headed the meeting. The relationship between the three of us finally changed. Very good, do you still remember the name of that young master’s chamber of commerce?”

 Lanqi asked as he drew a small circle on Boss Cat's forehead.

 At that time, in addition to the three gods, the Saint of Destruction, the direct soldiers of the Destruction branch, and the little princess of the Creation Empire, there were three other teammates: the young master of the Chamber of Commerce and the guard brother and sister from the Kingdom of Canberra in the west.

　　…"It seems to be really called Petras."

 The cat boss was shocked.

“His family holds a large share of the shares in the Petras Group. When we were saying goodbye to the film world, he told me that he would help us register as members and then go to the branch of the Petras Chamber of Commerce.”

Lanci answered.

"not bad."

Thalia commented from the side.

 She found that Lan Qi always had some connections, not just in his hometown of Nanwantina. No matter where he went, he could always quickly integrate into the environment and build good relationships with the locals.

Perhaps he has met a lot of people in the Northern Continent, and it will be more convenient for him to revisit his old place in the Northern Continent in the future.

 Although she is definitely more familiar with the Northern Continent.

But after so many years, some places may have changed. Perhaps the ruins of the old demon world have been occupied by humans and transformed into restricted areas. It is not easy to set foot in the homeland.

 “Want to go to the Northern Continent?”

 Lanchi read Thalia's thoughts.

“I haven’t been back home in a few years, and I’m a little curious about what it’s like there.”

Thalia nodded.

“If you want to go back to the northern continent someday, just go back and have a look. I’m already familiar with the Protos Empire on the south coast.”

Ranchi said.

“I guessed it. After all, you were able to rescue Antanas and the others from Herrom Prison, so you have some connections.”

Thalia said nonchalantly.

 But now she is used to and likes the life of Icerite.

 Let the smoke of the past between the demon clan and the demon world dissipate.

 She will have no intention of returning to her homeland for a long time in the future.
