MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

 Chapter 683 Lanci will not date Talia

 “The four days in Huaduparieu flew by.”

"You worked hard at Baptiste's house. Apart from the cost of buying materials, you fed her with the little money you saved. But rarely, she may think that your work is hard and she will start making breakfast for you. "

 “Her craftsmanship is surprisingly good.”

“Today is the second round of the Posen Kingdom’s platinum-level card maker exam, and you were brought to the Holy Silver Vine Arena by the Baptiste family.”

“It’s almost evening now and the exam is almost over.”

 The little black cat floating in the air broadcast to Lan Qi the day of Master Lan.

Maybe it’s because it couldn’t come out while Lan Qi was working at Baptiste’s house. Now that it’s Lan Qi’s rest time at the Saint Silver Vine Arena, it’s come out of the shadows.

The setting sun shone on the Holy Silver Vine Arena, rendering the entire oval venue a brilliant orange-red color.

Under the high open movable dome, there are layers of arched audience seats. The sandstone walls have warm tones. From time to time, you can hear a few noises from the audience and the examiner's instructions.

In the Tianyu Hall, in the sitting area of ​​the Baptiste family, behind the wide modular sofa, a dark elf cat began to surround the butler.

 “Wucao, how can this cat talk?”

Christina turned back to look at the little black cat floating in the air and exclaimed.

The last time she saw this cat in the Posen Demon Realm, she felt it was very magical. This time she found that the cat actually started talking, which surprised her even more.

"Meow meow meow."

 The cat boss looked at the blond lady with a speechless expression.

Isn’t it an eighth-level beast worthy of speaking?

You must know that some fifth- and sixth-level monsters can speak human words.

"I'm sorry, what I told it is that it can come out after 5:30 in the afternoon."

Lanci stood behind the sofa and said apologetically to Christina.

"it's okay no problem."

Christina was just curious about the cat.

After this once-bloody super-ancient empire arena was integrated into the flower capital Parrieu, it was replaced with another soft and warm fairy atmosphere. It is difficult to connect it with the **** and cruel gladiator fights, but more like A silvery hideaway where even the cats look relaxed.

 She then turned back and looked at Inoan beside her.

“Well, if the Aquitaine Territory in the south is not very dangerous, I would like to take you to the Baptiste family’s winery, but I feel that I will have a chance to take you there in the next period of time.”

Christina continued chatting with Inoan.

 In the South Asia Quidan Territory on the southern border of Posen Kingdom, their Baptiste family has a large industry, including agriculture, wine industry, and processing industry, and the local lord is a relative on her mother's side.

 “You don’t need to go, it’s the adults’ job.”

Baptiste’s eldest son Kyle, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, emphasized to her.

 “I know, brother.”

Christina lowered her head helplessly.

There will be a period of time in the future, in case of a war between the south and the Creation Empire, for example, the frontline commander needs to requisition their local inventory on the spot, but does not discuss it with the capital, or the war breaks out suddenly, and the caravan is If she is stuck at the border and needs to come forward to negotiate with the local army, she may need someone with a say from the Baptiste family to go to the south to take charge of coordination. Once a similar situation occurs, Kyle will definitely not let her go, but Kyle, who was already responsible for part of the family business, went there himself.

 “But actually I am better than my brother.”

Christina muttered.

Her brother has never practiced at all, he is just a zero-level ordinary person.

  She has a second level after all, and is a first-year official student who has passed the examination of Aloran Royal Academy.

 “It’s true.”

Kyle muttered to himself angrily, not wanting to deal with this heartless sister anymore.

 When other people encounter this kind of situation, they all want someone to go to dangerous places for them.

Only Christina, who is fearless, helped her take over all the responsibilities of the family, but she still didn't appreciate it.

Christina secretly made a face at her brother, looked at Inoan, and found that Inoan seemed to have not spoken for a long time.

 I saw Enoch's brows furrowed and he shook his head from time to time as if he had a headache.

 “What’s the matter? Inoan?”

Christina asked her with concern.

"I seem to be... a person from Aquitaine, on the southern border of Poisson."

Inoan muttered while covering his forehead.

 Although she was not sure whether her identity document was authentic or not, the gray fragments flashed through her mind, as if she had lived there as a child.

“There…is there a big mountain that is covered with snow in winter, connecting the mountains…”

she asked, still unsure.

 “Yes, Mount Aquidance has always been famous in our Kingdom of Posen.”

 Christina nodded frequently,

“Hey, if I take you there, is it possible to help you get your memory back?”

She was suddenly startled.

 Because I heard Butler Rocky say before that it is possible to retrieve memories only when you see something familiar or receive strong stimulation.

Although Christina doesn't really hope that Ino'an can really get his memory back, selfishly speaking, she would rather want Ino'an to stay with her forever, but getting her memory back is a big deal for Ino'an. For important things, she will still help Ino'an.

 “You are not allowed to go, at least wait until it calms down a bit before going.”

　　　When the young master Kyle of Earl Baptiste’s family heard his sister’s words, he immediately ordered.

"Know it…"

Christina pursed her lips.

"It's okay, miss. I'm not in a hurry to get my memory back. It's fine now. Please don't embarrass Mr. Kyle."

 Inoan quickly said to Christina and cast an apologetic look at Kyle.

“It seems we can’t go there for the time being, but I promise you that I will definitely take you to the southern border to see the Aquidance Mountains!”

Christina’s face burst into a smile, she hugged Inoan and assured her.

"Um…"

Innoan may have felt that the lady's intimate behavior was a bit inappropriate, and he anxiously wanted to break away from her, but was unable to hold Christina away. He could only observe the reactions of other nobles in the distance with his eyes, and agreed softly.

Lan Qi looked at the two of them and smiled slightly.

With Ino'an here, even if Christina fires him, he doesn't need to worry about the Baptiste family.

　　Although the time was short, he was very happy while working at Baptiste's house, or in other words, he had a good time at Huadu Parrieux.

 Immediately, he raised his head and cast his gaze on the giant holographic screen of Tianyu Hall again.

 I saw a great battle going on in the picture.

The Broken Temple simulated in the artificial shadow world is surrounded by towering stone colonnades, crisscrossed with reliefs of battle formations of gods and creatures. On the central altar square, two figures in full armor are engaged in a desperate duel.

A brave and fearless fighter figure is covered in a red battle armor as hot as lava, wearing a flaming iron horn helmet, holding a scarlet spear high in his right hand, while another three-headed and six-armed demon wearing gun armor holds his hand. Holding several weapons, his entire body seemed to be made of pure steel.

As many spectators watched with bated breath, the warrior in red armor suddenly waved his spear, and in an instant, dazzling streams of molten hot water poured out from the tip of the spear and threw it towards the demon clan. The ax whizzed upwards, instantly condensing countless sharp air blades on the blade, and actually split the path of the air wave.

The fighter did not stop there. The ground around him instantly began to melt with countless magma. The hot lava kept spewing out from the surface. In the blink of an eye, a red giant statue about three people tall was formed at his feet. The demons had already waved their battle axes and flew away. He stood up and slashed straight at the head of the giant statue, causing a burst of molten lava to fly!

The second round of the platinum-level card maker exam is currently underway, and it is also the highlight of the [Deck Test].

The deck test is the most direct test of the overall level of the card maker. Under the given conditions, the card maker is asked to make a set of countermeasure cards on the spot. At the same time, the deck is given to the intelligent projection creatures of the artificial shadow world. Start actual combat simulation.

 “Rocky, who do you think can win?”

Christina looked up at the housekeeper behind the sofa anxiously.

"I have no idea."

 Lanchi gave an excellent answer.

 He is not an examiner, so how does he know what the fight will be like?

 Or if you throw him in to participate in the deck test of card creation, he can only do strange things, and it is not sure whether he can win.

at this time.

"Pause."

A voice sounded in the audio and video, and then the entire artificial shadow world seemed to have stopped.

 The figure on the split screen stopped the test.

 A white-haired nobleman is conducting the assessment remotely.

 Looks like less than thirty.

Countess Rosalinda, the chief examiner, and Bruton, the deputy examiner, who were originally in charge of the examination, both began to wait quietly for him to speak.

“Adjust the weather to the environment, increase the fire attribute affinity by 5%, balance the basic attributes of the demon and human war puppets, and increase the basic attack attributes of both war puppets, otherwise the test will not be able to reach the limit.”

 He commanded.

“However, if you choose the demon war puppet, it will be more difficult to adapt to the magic card. Adjusting the value may affect its own racial characteristics.”

Countess Rosalinda hesitated slightly and said to the white-haired censor who was connected in real time on the other side of the screen.

 “Do as I say.”

The white-haired examiner did not argue or explain to her, he just ordered.

Rosalinda breathed a sigh of relief and started adjusting as he asked.

But this time, Bruton, the platinum-level card maker who served as the deputy examiner, just sat aside and remained silent.

 Because the other party’s authority is indeed higher.

 “Who is this person who is so pretentious?”

The cat boss looked at the giant screen in the arena in confusion and asked.

“This is the examiner at the headquarters of the Card Creators Association and the Kingdom of Canberra in the western hub area. He is also a platinum-level card maker.”

Christina turned back and explained to the little black cat.

Even though she reached out to seduce Boss Cat twice, Boss Cat still didn’t let her hug him.

“Countess Rosalinda is the examiner, so she has to listen to him?”

 The cat boss looked at the giant screen and then at Christina.

The white-haired young man named Logins in the picture has long silver-white curly hair slightly tied behind his head, with the ends slightly curled up. His eyes are as bright as ice and snow. There is always a hint of condescension in the corner of his mouth. He occasionally writes on the writing board. Write on the magic guide.

He has conducted several exams, almost taking over all the authority of Countess Rosalinda as the examiner.

Whenever the examiner, Countess Rosalinda, had doubts about a certain aspect of her review, Loggins would smack her lips impatiently and start giving instructions for adjustments.

"It's true. As long as it complies with the rules and regulations, Loggins, as the examiner at the headquarters, does have higher authority than the examiner, but this guy will conduct the exam with a blank expression, mainly because he and Countess Rosalinda don't do it either. Too much to deal with.”

Christina continued.

“Why is he so free and still able to direct the exams in the eastern region?”

 The cat boss’s eyes widened.

It feels that Countess Rosalinda is quite nice. It and Ranchi Tata were warmly entertained by the countess earlier, so they should not offend her.

“There are plenty of platinum-level card makers in the western hub area. It’s easy to gather three examiners, so there’s no need to trouble them.”

Christina spread her hands, feeling helpless.

 “He really hates Milaya so much.”

 The fundamental reason is still Duke Milaya.

Countess Rosalinda did not offend Loggins, but Countess Rosalinda and Duke Milaya have always had a good relationship.

Then Loggins naturally hated him, along with Countess Rosalinda.

It is said that Loggins was an eye-catcher when he became a platinum-level card maker, but who knew that Milaya would appear in the relatively backward eastern region, and then he seemed to be suppressed by Milaya.

　　　I still haven’t forgiven Milayas.

“Some viewers, don’t be upset, don’t think I can’t hear you.”

A cold voice came from the screen, and Loggins' voice seemed to be directed towards Earl Baptiste's house through the screen. Christina was startled at first, and then Master Kyle rushed over to cover her up. Mouth.

 “Say less, Christina, he can hear you.”

His sister really dares to say anything.

 There is obviously an audio-visual device at the scene, allowing Loggins, who is connected in real time in the Western Hub area, to hear the fine sounds in the field.

If they offend a platinum-level card maker, their family will probably not be able to trade with a gold-level or silver-level card maker in the future. Logins can make even the card makers who don't want to offend him use the Baptiste family with just one sentence. add to blacklist.

 “Damn you retarded…”

Even though her mouth was covered, Christina still looked at the arrogant white-haired nobleman on the screen with hostility.

Even the audience at the scene must be taken care of.

Is this Canberra’s father?

Although this platinum-level card maker named Logins at the headquarters of the Southern Continent Card Makers Association is a bit annoying to people in the eastern country, there will always be a group of fanatical young female fans at the scene, even holding shiny cheering lights. Cards, as soon as Loggins opened his mouth, they would scream.

Loggins turned a blind eye to this, but he liked this feeling.

 After a short debugging, the screen changed back to testing again.

The red molten giant statue ignored the wild ax blow and knocked the steel demons away with a backhand. The steel demons rolled several times in the air, and before they even touched the ground, they saw several red molten meteorites coming from the air. It smashed down, approaching with a deafening roar.

 The situation began to turn towards the Red Fighter.

But no one expected that the obsidian hidden in the arms of the demon began to bloom with dark flames, and the ground in the entire altar area was shaken by him to create a deep trench of several meters, and began to turn into a curse, destroying all the power of the meteorite. Return it.

Seeing that the attack was countered, the warrior's eyes widened in anger, his lava armor glowed with a thousand-foot-high light, and the burning inside his body became more intense. At this moment, countless deep grooves suddenly opened in the altar square, lava continued to emerge from the ground, and both sides finally simultaneously With a final full blow, the two magic powers collided violently, triggering a terrifying wave of magic power. The dazzling red and pitch black intertwined, and the entire scene seemed to collapse!

 All the spectators saw a sudden burst of blazing light, and subconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes.

When the hazy vision finally recovered, the huge screen in front of him slowly changed from pure white back to the Broken Temple. The Red Warrior was already half-kneeling on the ground, but the Iron Demon Tribe was still standing.

At this point, the housekeeper grabbed the floating little black cat from mid-air and put it on his shoulder.

 “Mr. Kyle, it’s almost time for me to get off work.”

Lan Qi bowed slightly and said beside the young earl.

 “Oh, you go first.”

Kyle replied.

 In fact, Butler Lodge's working hours ended at around five o'clock, so he just stayed with them for a while, as if he was waiting for someone.

 …

　　When Lanci and Tata, who had finished their exams, met and walked out of the Holy Silver Vine Arena, the streets of Parrieux were already shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun.

They strolled along the sidewalk of Parrieu 6 while admiring the sunset on the distant horizon.

“How about it, I was disturbed by the examiner, and I was worried that I would lose, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t let you use your full strength.”

Lanci said to Thalia beside him.

"simple."

Thalia heard Lan Qi's words that seemed to praise her, and glanced at him with a slightly proud look.

●Today’s second round of assessment was relatively normal.

 In the past, only about one-quarter to less than one-fifth of the number of people who passed each round of the platinum-level card maker exam.

 After three rounds of screening, there is often no qualified candidate in two or three rounds.

This year’s first round of [Magic Engineering Principle] exam, most of the candidates passed it, and many even got high scores in the exam. This is an extremely special situation.

 This is why the headquarters of the Southern Continent Card Creators Association dispatched examiners to supervise the exams in the eastern region in real time.

“Your score will seem to be a little higher than Kallen’s in this round, but in the third round you will have to beat her by a lot of points before you can get a higher average score than her.”

Lanchi analyzed it for Talia.

Thalia may not have seen Kallen's exam process in the waiting area, but Lan Qi has been following Count Baptiste's house to watch.

 Although the average score has no practical effect, only grade points and qualifications are useful.

 But what they bet on is who scores the highest score.

 “What, is this a professional evaluation given by examiner Lanqi?”

Thalia gave him another meaningful look.

 She seemed to mean to ask Lan Qi to speak more if he could speak.

 After finishing the exam today, hearing Lan Qi’s words made her happy.

  “Stop talking.”

Lan Qi smiled at her and walked forward quickly.

　　　…”

Thalia clenched her fists subconsciously.

 She felt that this guy did it on purpose.

“I will be the examiner in the next round. I cannot be subjective. I still have to maintain an objective attitude at all times to evaluate you.”

Lan Qi explained with a clear distinction between public and private matters.

 “Then what does it look like if you add subjectivity?”

Thalia was curious.

　　It turns out that the evaluation just now was all objective, and he sincerely thought that she was very powerful.

“Hang bang, bang bang, bang bang, bang bang.”

Lan Qi suddenly felt a discomfort in his throat and coughed several times.

 “Are you feeling unwell? How about you go home tonight and I can make some medicine for you?”

Thalia immediately put her hand lightly on his back, biting her lip and asked.

Lanci didn’t say a word, but she understood everything.

Perhaps this guy really needs to take medicine to cure his bad habit of talking.

　　　…”

 Lan Qi began to sweat on his head.

He suddenly forgot that this woman had the power. If she gave him some poison, he seemed to be unable to resist.

 “Lan Qi, are you okay?”

　　A male greeting came from the distance.

"so far so good!"

Lanchi quickly replied to the other party, distracting Talia's attention.

The voice was very familiar. The two looked into the distance and saw Nigel, the executioner, walking over, as if he was coming to find them.

Nigel took off his military cap. His neat short hair and heroic face exuded a sense of majesty in the sunset, but he looked more friendly to them.

 “I’m sorry to disturb you.”

Nigel looked at Lanqi who was very close to Talia and said.

Lanchi and Talia both subconsciously stood farther away, pretending not to recognize each other.

 “Can we go to the coffee shop next to us and have a chat?”

Nigel pointed to the fashionable shops on the banks of the tributaries of the Selena River and asked.

 He also kept observing his surroundings.

He knew that Lanqi and Tata could be found near the Holy Silver Vine Arena after the second round of the Card Maker Examination.

 At this time, no one was found to be following or monitoring them.

However, in human urban areas, rashly monitoring an executioner is more dangerous for the enemy.

"no problem."

After Lanci and Talia agreed, they followed Nigel to the nearby business district by the river.

The sunset has fallen quietly, but the night in Parrieux is not cold and cold, with a charming haziness.

 The bright lights of the night scenes on both sides of the river are reflected on the river, just like a flowing Milky Way meandering in the center of the city, filling the air with moist freshness. In the darkness of Parrieux, Nigel, the executioner, led Lanci and Talia to an outdoor cafe.

The cafe is located by the river, looking particularly elegant under the dim street lights.

They stepped on the wooden steps inlaid on the stone tile floor and walked up the path leading to the second floor terrace.

Several rows of white wrought iron tables are displayed under outdoor awnings, with the sunshades swaying gently.

They sat down at a table near the river on the second-floor terrace and ordered three espressos.

 “Sorry, I still delayed your rest time.”

Nigel said.

"No no."

 Lanchi waved his hand.

Nigel is one of the few friends they have in the Posen Kingdom. It's too late for them to be happy if a friend invites them to play together.

A tall Poisson plane tree stands on one side of the terrace, and its dense crown casts dimly lit mottled shadows in the evening breeze.

 From here you can have a panoramic view of the night beauty of the tributaries of the Selina River.

The waiter elegantly served each of them a cup of rich coffee, and the rising steam diffused the aroma of the coffee.

Nigel used a portable magic device to open a sound barrier.

“Do you two have any free time after the final round of the platinum level card maker exam on Sunday?”

 The three of them began to sip coffee while chatting about the current situation.

"Yes, we have a lot of free time after finishing the exam, and we plan to have a lot of fun in Huatouparieu."

 Lanqi and Thalia looked at each other, and Lanqi answered.

 In fact, this trip to Posen is coming to an end in terms of time.

According to their plan, after finishing the invigilation work for the platinum level card maker examination, they would stay in the Posen Kingdom for another two days and then return to the Hutton Kingdom.

Although I really wanted to go to Posen Demon World to spend a few more days, time did not allow it.

If it's too late, no one can tell whether the Creja Empire in the south will suddenly start a war north. Once they enter a state of war, it will be difficult for them to return to the Kingdom of Hutton.

“This Sunday night, I will go to Demon Realm District 10 to attend a demon banquet. I always have a bad feeling in my heart.”

Nigel didn’t ask them for anything. He just mentioned his plans for Sunday night, as if he was explaining the aftermath.

"what's going on?"

Lanci asked.

"According to the progress I have traced so far, this curse spreader has traces about more than a year ago. He is more likely to be a demon than a human being, but the residual spells he left behind that have been observed so far, There are traces of non-modern demons’ magical writings. Compared with these demons in our Posen Demon World, he is more like the ancient demons who just came from the Northern Continent a few years ago, so my inference makes me feel more and more... Not good…”

Nigel took out a magic device sealing box made of mechanical cubes from the inner pocket of his coat.

 He untied it in front of Lanci and Thalia.

 All he saw was a piece of rag stained with dark blue flames.

“This is the little trace we managed to save from the victim after we searched the demon world two days ago and finally had a brief encounter with the curse spreader.”

Nigel explains.

Although Nigel has no hope and doesn't want to trouble Ranchi and Tata, the two people who can solve the curse may be able to identify more clues than he can.

He is relatively sure that Tata is stronger than him, and may even have the terrifying strength to fight the curse spreader head-on.

Hearing this, Lan Qi looked at Thalia.

 This is really professional and relevant.

Not only the demons, but also the original ancient demons. No one understands it better than Talia.

It can only be said that Nigel made a mistake and found the demon king to help him identify it. Maybe this is the bond of the demon clan.

“Is he the man who cursed Miss Lisandry at the station?”

Thalia gently stretched out her hand to explore the rag, closed her eyes and frowned to feel the remaining magic power on it, and asked Nigel.

The reason why she and Lanqi were attacked on the Floating Castle airship that day and met the crazy pastry chef Lissancy was that a mysterious man cast a curse on Lissancy in advance.

“That’s right, that’s the guy in the video I showed you last time.”

Nigel nodded.

 This is the most critical clue that their Senate execution force has obtained in recent days.

 Even so, the price was paid with the lives of many colleagues.

The opponent is very strong.

If the other party had not been unwilling to fight and wanted to avoid their search, there might have been even more casualties.

Even Nigel could feel the terrifying aura of a high-level demon remaining in the other party’s magic power.

“Aren’t the curse spreaders really from your family of demons like Posen?”

The more Thalia analyzed this magic power, the more she felt something was wrong.

 “No, it’s definitely not the same.”

Nigel stated his conclusion firmly.

　　　…”

Thalia pondered.

 While waiting for her time to analyze, Lan Qi took a sip of coffee.

"Have you seen this kind of magic and spells? In addition to the famous demons who survived the holy war a hundred years ago, there may be other powerful demons that survived?"

He couldn't help but look at Thalia and ask what he was thinking.

Eighth-level demons may not be able to pass the Great Demon Trials and obtain the mark. Without three marks, even ninth-level demons cannot become a great demon.

In addition, famous nobles such as Shinola and Pranay, after obtaining a character and a mark of force in the trial of the Great Demon Clan, are easier to obtain directly from the elders of other Great Demon Clan than ordinary demons. Marks, collect three marks to become a great demon.

“I don’t know every demon, but I’m pretty sure that none of the powerful demons in our system at that time felt this way.”

Thalia responded to Lanqi in her heart.

If there really is such a talented ancient demon, then she must know it.

“This sample of magic power is more like a creature that came from the disaster.”

 After hesitating for a long time, she finally added.

Lanchi and Nigel were both slightly dazed.

Nigel seemed not to have thought about this situation.

Even if Lan Qi has been to the northern continent, he has rarely heard of this term in the Protos Empire on the south coast.

The Disaster Land is an extremely unstable area located at the end of the world.

Concerning its records, there are only a few albums in the Royal Library of Protos.

“I have read records in ancient books that the Disaster Land in the Northern Continent is connected to a lost land, and there may be other demons and humans on the lost land.”

Thalia explained.

Of course, this is a script that was kept in the royal library before the demons destroyed the country. It is impossible to determine whether it is true or false.

 Even entering the eighth level of the Disaster Land is very life-threatening, and you don’t know where the end is, so most normal people will not cross it.

 “That’s it.”

Lan Qi mused without being too interested. He didn't care about the Disaster Land, the no-man's land at the end of the world. He only cared about the possibility that Talia raised that "there may be another system of demons in the world." sex.

Nigel looked at Tata in confusion, wondering why Tata knew so much.

 But he won’t ask too many questions. He knows that there is no need to delve too much into the details of his friends.

"Meow."

The cat boss looked at Tata and then at Lanqi on Lan Qi's lap. For a moment, everyone at the dinner table was silent.

　　When they first took their seats on the terrace, the street scene of Huatu Parrieux was still shrouded in the sunset.

As time goes by, the light of the sunset gradually dims, and the city is gradually shrouded in twilight. The sky turns into a deep indigo blue, and the stars twinkle in the night sky.

“By the way, haven’t you been to the Northern Continent?”

Thalia looked at Lanqi and asked.

“If the other party is a mysterious demon from the Northern Continent a few years ago, then he may not have heard of my name.”

Lanqi murmured.

 Because at that time Rocky McCarthy's legend in Protos had not yet begun.

Boss Cat couldn’t say anything, it just brought back bad memories.

It remembered that the two of them did not know much about the secrets of the Calamity Territory in the Protos Empire. After all, the Protos Empire was on the south bank, and the Calamity Territory was too far away, located in the extreme north.

However, for a Southern Continentalist like Lan Qi, he probably doesn’t have much interest in setting foot in a land that is too far away. Even if there is a story set on the Lost Continent, Lan Qi probably won’t be the protagonist.

"No, who are you? Do you think your name is so popular in the Northern Continent? What I'm asking is whether you have heard of the other party."

Thalia thought Lan Qi's answer was a bit funny.

 “Not really.”

Lanqi shook his head,

“However, my friends in the Northern Continent told me that there is indeed a group of unknown demons hiding in the Northern Continent.”

 Lanqi remembered that Sigrid’s letter mentioned that the Protos Empire had panic in the north, and the source was the mysterious demon clan that appeared in the north.

“Could it be that they are really the extremely demonic people who came from the other side of the Disaster Land?”

Thalia muttered to herself in confusion.

"In the ancient legends of the Demon Palace, there was an unknown and powerful demon who infiltrated into the demon world. After he was caught and interrogated, it was found that he came from the other side of the Disaster Land, and the spells and props on him were extremely dangerous. , even so, I let him go in the end because I didn’t want to make enemies.”

Thalia didn't know the truth or falsehood of the secret of the demon royal family and the specific process. She conveyed all she knew to Lanqi using her mind.

Probably only she and Epatia know about this kind of thing now.

If you take a step back, Ifatiya may not know, because Ifatiya doesn't like reading.

“In other words, the curse spread in Huadu Parrieu is probably another more mysterious demon race outside your system?”

Lanqi asked with his mind.

Then the turmoil in the northern part of the Protos Empire and the betrayal of Duke Molotian all had causes and consequences.

 “This possibility cannot be ruled out.”

Thalia agreed.

　　　…”

 Nigel looked at Lan Qi and Tata opposite for a long time, and he didn't know how they could not speak as if they had been exchanging information.

 It was hard for him to ask anything.

“In short, Nigel, Tata’s appraisal result is that the opponent is indeed a demon, not a human, and not the old demons from the Holy War.”

Lanchi seemed to notice Nigel's long-awaited gaze and told him the conclusion.

Thalia’s eyes trembled.

 She felt that when Lan Qi mentioned "old demons", he seemed to emphasize his tone with unclear meaning.

"Understood."

Nigel nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just the identity of the curse spreader’s race is already very important information.

 He actually had doubts that his teacher Mr. Pearlman would be the spreader of the curse.

Because the only eighth-level demons that could match the strength of the curse spreaders he had deduced in the past two days were District 10 Lord Pearlman and District 9 Lord Atio.

Hearing what Lanqi and Tata said, the suspicion of his teacher Mr. Pearlman was much reduced.

 As Milaya's former servant, Atio has always been the demon lord who is closest to humans, so it is almost impossible for her to be her.

There is a high probability that the real culprit who spread the curse is a mysterious demon clan that has sneaked in from outside Posen in recent years.

The scope of its activities can also be almost locked in the Poison Demon Realm - if the opponent's own race is a demon, with the sudden border control mode of the Senate in recent days, the curse spreader wants to disguise himself as a human and cross the border to the city of Parrieux. District will most likely be caught directly.

The curse spreader did not expect that Lissanthy would be uncursed and the information would be interrogated, triggering a series of countermeasures and chain reactions by the Senate.

“By the way, Nigel, you said you were going to a demon party this Sunday night? Do you want us to go together?”

 The end of a topic always reminds you of the beginning.

Lanchi thought of what Nigel said at the beginning again.

 He didn't seem to want to trouble them, but asked if they had time.

"I'm very worried that a curse will happen at the teacher's banquet, because the curse spreaders are being searched more and more urgently by us in the demon world. I'm afraid the enemy's plan is accelerating, and the final battle will break out at any time. And that banquet will gather many celebrities from the Posen Demon World."

Nigel explained with a bitter expression.

If a demon goes berserk and causes turmoil at the banquet, according to the rules of the Posen Demon Clan, the demon must be killed, otherwise it will attract a picket from the Senate.

Nowadays, there are quite a lot of differences between the Posen Demon Realm and the Senate, and they will not let the Senate seize any words that can suppress them.

Once a madness event occurs, Nigel is not sure whether he can convince other demons present to let him take away the cursed demons.

 Maybe fight with other demons.

 Because from the perspective of other demons, they did not trust Nigel, the hawk dog of the Senate. If Nigel allowed Nigel to take away the mad demons, they would inevitably wonder whether they would fall into the trap of the Senate.

The last battle with Astros left Nigel speechless.

 He could neither explain that the cursed demons were now saved, nor could he reveal the existence of Lan Qi.

Fortunately, Lan Qi still has a mature disguised identity as Rocky McCarthy, which will not jeopardize Lan Qi's return journey.

So on the day of the dinner, as long as Rocky McCarthy, who can always break the curse, is by his side, even if a cursed madman breaks out, he can subdue it and cure it immediately.

“Anyway, at that dinner, as long as the curse spreader chooses to cause trouble, we may be able to persuade other demons to help us catch the spreader by breaking the curse on the spot, right?”

Thalia summed up Nigel's conclusion succinctly.

 The Curse Spreader has a high probability of not missing this opportunity to bait Nigel.

If Nigel wants to save the demons and triggers the demons' attack, the curse spreader will have a chance to get rid of Nigel without any loss, and he may not even need to show up personally to take action.

"right."

Nigel nodded.

 He felt that something was brewing at the critical point in Huadu Parrieu.

Due to the process accelerated by the unintentional interference of Lan Qi and Tata, a decisive battle in the Huadu Demon Realm may begin early.

 “Then we’ll go with you.”

Lanqi responded decisively and simply.

"Thanks."

Nigel hesitated for a while and solemnly thanked the two of them.

"We just want to go to the Posen Demon World after work, and we are not familiar with that demon world. You just happened to take us to experience the high-end banquet in the Posen Demon Realm."

Lan Qi said with a smile.

If this curse is left unchecked and continues to spread, it may harm Hyperion and the others.

“It’s getting late, let’s meet outside the Holy Silver Vine Arena on Sunday night.”

Nigel did not deny that Ranch said that they were friends, and said goodbye to the two of them.

 He looked at his watch and found that it was getting late.

Lanchi and Thalia nodded and watched Nigel's back disappear from the stairs leading from the terrace to the interior of the shop.

 Unknowingly, after chatting for a long time, the night had completely enveloped Parrieux.

 The dim lights on the terrace and the flickering candles on the tables give this outdoor coffee shop a dark golden color.

Lanchi looked over Thalia's shoulder and stared at the river.

 “Will you win on Sunday?”

Lan Qi asked softly, his tone full of immersion and emotion.

Sunday was both his last official job and an important exam for Thalia.

Only if Thalia successfully passes the exam can they happily go to the Posen Demon World.

　　　…”

Thalia wanted nothing to do with him.

 In other words, Lan Qi would confidently answer this question in the affirmative.

 He is just too confident and will overturn sooner or later.

“If you treat me better now, maybe I will be in a better mood when I grade you on the third round of exams on Sunday.”

Lanqi’s smile was like a glimmer of light in the summer night, and he always spoke to her with energy.

"You will not."

Thalia said.

If he really brought his personal ideas to work, he wouldn't be so casual with Karen in the first round.

 She has been observing and getting to know Lanqi better.

This person will never be serious with you. Every pore of his is permeated with condescending tolerance for secular culture. He is so tolerant that he will accommodate you endlessly, and he is so tolerant that he makes you feel vulgar and inferior. When you are about to When I was about to go crazy due to suffocation, all I could think of was the word "escape".

  She was sure that Lan Qi had no intention of retaliating against Kallen.

Thalia originally didn't want to worry about it, because she knew Kallen would find out the truth sooner or later, but Kallen jumped on her head, and the nature of the matter was different.

And she couldn't bear to see others bullying Lan Qi.

“You mean you are the only one who can bully me? Are you such a domineering princess?”

Lanci said in surprise as if he heard Thalia's heartfelt voice.

　　　…”

The cat boss was stunned when he saw Tata. He could probably guess what Tata was thinking just now and what Lan Qi read.

 No, Mr. Dalan, meow, do you read more of your storybook, meow? Do you have to translate it?

 The cat boss knows that Lan Qi understands it very well.

 But sometimes he deliberately translates the girl’s thoughts.

 It will make girls very embarrassed.

 This kind of behavior is more excessive than that of straight men.

“You are really calm when you are in high spirits, but the way you beg for mercy underneath me is also really funny.”

Thalia leaned slightly closer and whispered in his ear.

Her cold voice mixed with contempt was full of sarcasm towards Lan Qi.

  Accompanied by a burst of soft footsteps.

Nigel, who had just finished buying the order and passed by the stairs downstairs, pretended not to see them in embarrassment and walked out of the store faster.

 “No no Mr. Nigel, it’s not what you think!”

Lanchi quickly looked at Nigel downstairs and said.

"I didn't hear it. By the way, Posen Kingdom has a fireworks festival on the last day of August every year. That day is very suitable for a date. It happens to be just after the platinum level card maker exam ends. It is said that the priests of the Temple of Love will dress up as Ghosts, the more loving a couple is, the more they will hunt them down and arrest them for public display.”

Nigel turned around and preached to them.

 “We’re not going on a date that day!”

When the two heard this, their expressions changed, and they looked downstairs in unison.

 The relationship between the two of them is not good enough to go out together on that special day!

If the update exceeds 4,000 words during this period, it may not be updated at 9 o'clock. The update time may be delayed, but as long as you don't ask for leave, it will be before 12 o'clock.
