MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

Chapter 672 Lan Qi was asked about the pigeon

The two of them crossed a street and arrived at the bustling commercial area in the center of Posen Flower City.

 “Meow, this street is so handsome.”

The cat boss in Lan Qi's hand looked at the grand scene of the city in the morning and couldn't help but stand up with stars in his eyes.

“Indeed, just across this street is the Petras auction house.”

Lan Qi looked at Boss Cat and smiled.

 This Crystal Orchid Avenue is located on the central axis connecting the Platinum Son Palace and the New Xunli Gate. It is also known as Xunli Avenue. It is one of the three most prosperous central streets in the Southern Continent and is also known as the top ten charming pedestrian streets in the Southern Continent.

It traverses the east-west main road of Parrieu, the capital of Poisson, with a total length of 1,800 meters and a widest point of more than 120 meters. It starts from the Place de la Rose in the east and ends at the Place de l'Etoile in the west.

The Poisen National Day Military Parade is held on this avenue every August 24th.

“Hundreds of years ago, this was a field full of swamps. It was later transformed into a tree-lined avenue by the then queen of Poisson.”

 Lanqi pointed to the tall buildings and squares in the distance and said.

Before the cat boss could answer, Thalia snatched it away from Lanci's hand.

“It seems like you have good connections and you have a lot of skills.”

Thalia’s words fell softly on her ears.

　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　him so so so much.

 Noisy sometimes.

Lan Qi looked at the stacked eaves on the other side and the road terrain that was gradually rising towards the center of the city in this direction.

 It’s like asking her if you can’t afford it.

Taliyah’s words were cold as steel.

　　"You guys pull and pull, don't pull against me, meow."

  Came to the intersection.

"Its basic planning is actually very reasonable, which is why it took its current shape. The first section is dominated by natural scenery, with flat park-like lawns on both sides, quiet and peaceful, and the last section is a high-end business district, where famous brands of the Southern Continent are located. , clothing stores, and perfume stores are all concentrated here, and it is full of elegance and elegance."

Talia heard Lan Qi’s words, and the veins on her forehead trembled slightly.

The towering plane trees stand, their leaves shining in the morning light, like emeralds inlaid on the street.

 At least she approves of painting, and it makes her look so beautiful.

 He lowered his head and stroked the cat’s head.

 It was like understanding Thalia's thoughts.

 “Boss Cat, do you want to watch the sunset?”

　　　…”

 “How do you still know this?”

Lan Qi looked at her with empty hands in astonishment.

 Two people and one cat chat from time to time.

 Lanci started his story with a hint of mischief in his smile.

 She knew that Lan Qi did it on purpose.

 There is no opinion on whether “I want to go” or “I don’t want to go”.

Lan Qi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

　　Unless it is for training of tacit understanding, you have to go.

She has also read the "Modern History of the Posen Kingdom" given by Professor Borao. It has written about the construction of Crystal Orchid Street, but it is not as detailed as Lanci.

According to Poisson's historical records, the real beginning was three hundred years ago. In order to expand the vision of the Royal Rose Garden, the royal gardener extended the east-west central axis of the garden westward to Dot Square, and the prototype of the avenue was formed.

 Hence why Crystal Orchid Avenue was called the "Queen's Boulevard" in that era.

“If Tata doesn’t want to go, how about we go.”

 Compared with reading from books, most of the content is more like what he judged from on-site observations.

 “Boss Cat is with me.”

 The cat boss sighed helplessly.

Thalia just answered casually.

 The two of them watched the sunset together. She would not do such an ambiguous thing with Lan Qi.

“If you go to the Northern Continent, the latest municipal plan of Herom, the capital of Protus, will be written by me.”

The evolution history of Crystal Orchid Avenue is closely connected with the municipal development history of Parrieux.

"oh."

Lanchi will not be surprised at all in every aspect.

"Meow!"

“It is said that at five o’clock in the afternoon, if you walk to a high-lying park, you can watch the charming sunset disappearing on the western horizon along this road without any buildings.”

The sun has risen high at this moment, and the sky shows a soft light blue.

 A brief moment of waiting at the traffic light.

Lanchi noticed that Talia was looking across the road.

 He was slightly confused and looked in the direction of Thalia's gaze.

I looked back and forth at her face from across the road twice before I was sure what she was paying attention to.

On the opposite side of another street, I saw products displayed in the windows, from high-end fashion to exquisite jewelry. A well-dressed rich man slowly walked by, and each of his gentle steps was like a carefully choreographed dance step. .

Behind him, demons dressed in simple but clean clothes followed respectfully, holding several ornately decorated shopping boxes carefully with both hands, keeping their balance and following behind.

Although the weight of this shopping bag is not small, the demons have no complaints, only respect.

The bracelet on the demon's hand is exactly the symbol of his subordination.

Lanchi looked at Thalia again and found that she had moved her eyes away, no longer staring at this picture that made her feel that things were different.

 “Actually, this is not special in Huatuparieux.”

Lanchi looked at the traffic light and said to Thalia beside him.

ˆ As an international metropolis, Huadu Parrieux also faces challenges common to modern cities, such as immigrant integration and other issues.

"I know."

 She is well aware that times have changed.

 She had accepted this fact many times before coming to the Posen Kingdom.

 The work contract was fine, but if she saw the demons becoming slaves to humans, she would feel a little uncomfortable.

But there is nothing to complain about, because demons who sign slave contracts are either atoneing for their sins, or selling their time and labor in exchange for a lot of money for some reason.

 In the Kingdom of Posen, most contracts are fair.

The signal light changed, and the two of them walked forward with the little black cat.

"What's wrong? Tata, do you also want me to help you win a championship? Like Duke Milaya?"

Lan Qi seemed to have read her thoughts and smiled at her with some interest.

Although the basic purposes are different, Ms. Ifatia likes to watch the fun, while Thalia likes to give freedom to the demons. But as long as the goal is achieved, a demon with potential can be released. After he has a net worth, no matter how much money he has, , there will be powerful people willing to redeem themselves for the championship and sign a more equal business contract.

“I’m not the kind of woman who needs a man to please me. No matter how you please me, I won’t smile at you more.”

Thalia looked at him and answered calmly and slightly indifferently.

 On the one hand, seek truth from facts.

On the other hand, she couldn't bear to see Lan Qi testing her with the smell of tea.

“Yes, you are obviously very happy when I feed you food, but you don’t smile either…”

Lan Qi shook his head.

Before he finished speaking, he didn't dare to say anything anymore because Tata was already looking at him.

 “I’m really curious about something.”

Thalia frowned and looked at him for a while, then finally asked.

 She was not angry this time.

I don’t want to argue with him anymore.

 She just suddenly became really curious.

"you say."

Lan Qi replied with a sigh of relief.

 “Why didn’t you provoke me wantonly when I first met you?”

Thalia stared at him as if this question had troubled her many times recently,

"I feel that according to your character, you should have said something that I couldn't bear from then on. On the contrary, you seemed to have foreseen my danger and changed your mind to get familiar with me slowly."

 She finished speaking, her eyes still staying on Lan Qi's face.

"Meow."

 The cat boss is also very curious.

Having followed Lan Qi for so long, it has discovered that Lan Qi's love-seeking character is destined to make alcohol like poison to Lan Qi, but he will also become addicted to it.

Thalia is also like alcohol to Lanci, which makes him delirious, dangerous and addictive, and he obviously can't resist it.

　　It was hard to tell whether he was treating Thalia as a cure for his alcohol addiction, or whether he regarded Thalia as his new wine and a necessity in life.

“Perhaps it’s because I happened to break into the temple of the goddess of fate that day. The goddess of fate gave me a dream and foresaw how to approach you?”

Lan Qi thought about it for a while and met her gaze calmly.

Hans said that whenever he drank too much, he had no memory at all. The day before he met Tata, he accidentally broke into the Church of the Goddess of Destiny led by Nan Wantina, and accidentally knocked a stone from the statue of the goddess. The gems caused a lot of trouble for the priests.

 Fortunately, the noble and benevolent priests did not care about his fault and called it a kind of fate.

The divinity of the Goddess of Destiny that the priests believe is that as long as people pray to the Goddess of Destiny, she has the power to slightly interfere with destiny. The more pious and long the prayers are, the more voices of the heart will be transmitted to her. Go there, and never speak nonsense about the oaths made to each god. Regardless of whether these gods still exist and whether they can interfere in the world, it may cause cause and effect.

Therefore, according to legend, there is a kind of protective stone called Samsara Baoyu.

 It may be any stone related to the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. As long as it is used as a medium, the gods can weakly interfere with the world from the conceptual side.

The reincarnation gem is a gift from a destined person. If you pray sincerely to the goddess of fate, she may let you have a beautiful dream, maybe by chance, or maybe it is an old dream.

But this kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious after all, and cannot be proved, so it is more regarded as legends and fairy tales.

 According to Hyperion’s ideas.

She felt that she was Miss Witch in her previous life, and Lan Qi was the Son of the Sun in her previous life. Of course, it was possible that they would be reincarnated in other worlds two lives ago and experience a wonderful intermediate life. Everything was a gift from the goddess of fate.

so.

 It is possible that he accidentally touched the sacred stone of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, which allowed him to receive many revelations from the Goddess of Destiny, and gave him some information that was enough to change the future.

Of course, what all this looks like is not important to a person like him who does not believe in reincarnation.

He only thinks that the Son of the Sun is a flower similar to himself tens of thousands of years ago. They have no direct connection. The same is true for Miss Witch and Hyperion.

 The essence of reincarnation is the repetition of history, with the world constantly being annihilated and reborn. Similar people and stories will always appear after a long time.

 If you believe it, you have it; if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it.

 What you think - that's what it is.

　　　…”

Thalia was silent for a long time after hearing this.

"Is that so... No wonder you can know the disappearance of Duke Milaya like a prophet."

 She listened to Lan Qi’s thoughts and said to herself.

Hyperion and Lanqi had already shared information about Duke Milaya and the Vampires with her.

 She was sure that Lan Qi did not lie to them.

 At the same time, Lan Qi’s secret has not been explored.

 Prophets, diviners, and future visions are not strange in this world, but few creatures possess them.

 [Destiny] is the realm of gods that cannot be touched by living beings, while [divination] is the ultimate realm that living beings gifted by God can reach.

If the great divination-based demons like Pranai could grow for several hundred more years, maybe their demons wouldn't have lost in the first place.

If you get it from the goddess of destiny, everything can be explained.

"How do you do it, knowing so many secrets but being so indifferent to their deeper secrets? If Hyperion were you, she would probably think about it all day long and be so confused that she couldn't sleep."

Thalia asked again.

 She could hear Lan Qi's inner thoughts, and she could also see the fragments of stories recorded in "Kaliela's Shadow Weaving Record".

“I don’t have much interest in theology or history. I prefer philosophy, aesthetics, and ethics. The only thing that matters is the present. The past and the future are not worth delving into for me.”

 He explained with a smile.

　　　…”

Although this guy doesn't believe in God, he does act like a magician sometimes. This kind of thing is often called a pyramid scheme leader or a cult leader.

　　The period of time when I just came back from the Northern Continent was the worst.

 Now there are gradually signs of improvement, and I am becoming a bit more like a person again.

“Have you ever thought about going to the Church of the Goddess of Destiny again and asking for a gem of reincarnation?”

Thalia suggested,

 “Let’s see what our old dreams were like.”

 She spoke in an almost silent manner, like a whisper in the light morning mist, soft and elusive.

If it was the goddess of fate who guided the two of them together, then they might also have a special fate.

Her fate with Lan Qi is not necessarily worse than that between Hyperion and Lan Qi.

“I don’t believe in the goddess of destiny, and I don’t pray sincerely like Hyperion, so I feel that if I go to the temple with other purposes, it will be in vain.”

Lan Qi spread his hands indifferently.

 “You can go there on the way.”

Thalia said calmly.

　　The Parrieux Police Headquarters where they stayed last night was very close to the famous Notre Dame de Parrieux Church.

And near the Church of Our Lady of Parrieux, there are many temples and branches of the church in the capital.

Logically speaking, the Church of Our Lady of Parrieux is also a place they want to check in.

It’s just that it was too late yesterday, so neither of them thought about going.

“We can go to the Church of Our Lady of Parrieu, but the Temple of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny can be found anywhere. For example, there is actually one in Icerita.”

 Lanchi analyzed.

“If we could have a sweet dream, wouldn’t you wonder what it would be like?”

Thalia asked.

 “Not curious.”

Lanqi shook his head and told her with a calm smile.

　　　…”

 The cat boss listened to the two people talking.

It feels like Lanci did it on purpose.

The two of them started fighting again.

Tata wanted to go a little bit, but not particularly. She wanted Lan Qi to propose that they go together to seek the amulet from the Church of Destiny. Lan Qi knew that she wanted to go. Unless she directly invited Lan Qi to go with her, Lan Qi just kept pretending to be confused.

 In this way, neither Lanqi nor Talia expressed their opinions, leaving the atmosphere stagnant for half a minute.

“Don’t you think [Kaliela’s Shadow Weaving Record] also has the feeling of appearing and interweaving old dreams? I always feel that getting a piece of the Talisman of the Goddess of Destiny and adding it to the card making process can also be used as a material.”

Thalia finally said.

 As long as it is well blended with the formula, adding it will not increase or decrease the success rate, and gemstones related to the goddess of fate always make people feel lucky.

"Well…"

Lanqi thought for a moment and felt that it did make sense.

 “Then let’s go to the temple later.”

 He compromised.

"You two are totally...! You stop pulling every time when you reach the right place. You know exactly how much pulling can make the other person's mood become subtle without being disappointed or angry!"

Boss Cat finally couldn't bear it anymore and complained.

 “Boss Cat, what are you talking about?”

Both of them stared blankly at the sudden outburst of Boss Cat.

　　　…”

Boss Cat felt that it was over. Both of them seemed to be unconscious.

 They have no idea how other people look and feel.

 Just know how to have fun with each other.

“But I think we might just run away in vain, so don’t expect too much.”

Lanqi didn’t think he and Thalia would see any dreams similar to those of Son of the Sun and Miss Witch.

  In the first three Blood Moon Bad Shadow Worlds, no demons similar to Thalia appeared.

If I must say it, only the Mist Lord Orion and the True Night Lord Esmode have some shadows of Thalia and the Great Love Poet.

  However, assuming that these two great demons have descendants, they may not appear until the Son of the Sun dies.

 At the end of the third shadow world, the two great demons were still there as brothers.

Lan Qi got a headache after hearing this.

"It's okay. It's enough to understand from you that there was the Temple of the Goddess of Destiny when we met."

Thalia actually passed by the Temple of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny that day, and she did remember that there was some commotion inside, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She glanced at it silently and left.

　　The story between her and Lan Qi actually started that day.

"I remember that it was also that day when I lost a Dark Pigeon Familiar. But because I finally encountered an important job and a change in my wandering life, I temporarily put aside searching for its whereabouts. I don't know how it is still doing. OK."

 Thalia said to herself.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

 In the past, a year would have been a fleeting moment for her.

　　　…”

Boss Cat suddenly felt that Lan Qi's expression had changed, and his heart rate suddenly spiked to 180.

 He seemed to be trying his best to control his thoughts and not show any abnormality.

“That dark homing pigeon has been with me for many years. Even when I went through the most difficult period without eating for several days, I never thought about taking action against it.”

Thalia continued to tell stories about her past, with a look full of memories.

　　　…”

 Lan Qi began to sweat profusely on his forehead.

 “Why are you sweating so much?”

Thalia noticed that Lanqi was quiet for a long time and didn't speak to her.

“It’s really hot in the morning in Paris. I don’t feel it when I’m sitting at home. I only feel the temperature when I go out and walk around.”

Lan Qi took off his thin coat, put it on his hand and said with a smile.

"oh."

Thalia nodded.

 She took out a handkerchief from her small shoulder bag, lifted it up slightly, and then handed it to Lan Qi.

I couldn’t tell whether she wanted to help Lan Qi wipe her sweat, or whether she just wanted to lend her handkerchief to Lan Qi from the beginning.

"Thanks."

 Lanchi accepted Thalia's handkerchief.

“What if, I mean if, the pigeon was killed and you caught the murderer?”

 He asked further.

"hehe."

Thalia shook her fingers,

 “I will treat the murderer as the murderer treated my pigeons…”

Her words were so cold that they seemed to lower the surrounding temperature, making people shudder.

“Ah haha, that’s so scary. By the way, the dessert shop across the street looks good. Let’s go buy two ice creams.”

Lan Qi didn’t dare to mention it anymore as if her throat was blocked, and quickly changed the topic with a dry smile.

 “Which one?”

Thalia's eyes were instantly attracted to the direction Lanqi was pointing.

 The two began to chat attentively again.

"Meow."

The cat boss looked up at Lan Qi in confusion.

 Teacher Dalan, why are your hands shaking?

If this pigeon is really related to you, then sooner or later you will have to send it.
