Don't Confiscate My Citizenship Chapter 685

Chapter 685 Lan Qi has heard of the fairy sister

 The second floor of the Holy Silver Vine Arena.

 Internal office area, executive manager's office.

“Let's go talk to Countess Rosalinda about the extraction of our paintings, and then go find Nigel.”

Lanchi pressed the door handle and said to Thalia beside him.

"no problem."

Thalia answered as she hugged the little black cat.

She was quite satisfied with today's harvest, and unexpectedly became a platinum-level card maker. Now Xiubao could brag that her aunt was a very successful person even when she went outside.

open the door.

This is a spacious office of about 100 square meters. The floor is made of oak that is hundreds of years old, and is inlaid with a Poisson-style pattern. The focus on the right is a mahogany desk with a diameter of about two meters and a large sandalwood board. There was an antique oil lamp forged from pure brass placed on the countertop, but except for a few kraft paper documents waiting to be signed, no one was sitting there.

 “Lanchi, Tata, here they come.”

Rosalinda greeted the two of them on the sofa in the office lounge area and waved them to come and sit down.

 “I'm ready for cheese and coconut crisp!”

Beside a floor-standing reading lamp with a lampshade made of colored glass, two very different women were sitting on the sofa.

Rosalinda was still wearing the same well-tailored burgundy work suit.

The person who seemed to be talking to her just now was a younger-looking woman. Her waist-length silver-white hair fell down her sides like a waterfall.

"Who is this?"

Ranchi and Tata came over to sit down and asked Rosalinda.

"My friend, Atio, she also came to see the final round of the platinum level card maker exam today, and as a former champion player of the Holy Silver Vine Arena, she now also has some nominal positions in this arena. For example, I approached her directly for some of my venue collaboration work.”

Rosalinda introduced.

 “Miss Atio…”

Thalia immediately remembered who she was.

The Huadu Holy Grail Demon Competition is a popular event in the Posen Kingdom. Duke Milaya won the championship as an employer back then, and after the victory, he returned freedom to the champion messenger.

This demon named Aitiou was discovered by Mi Gaiyahui's eye-consciousness bead and taught her a lot of knowledge and skills, allowing her to grow rapidly and become extremely powerful. She regained her freedom and even became the demon lord of District 9. .

The reason why Duke Milaya participated was just to make Epatia happy. Epatia likes watching games very much, and sometimes she just likes to lie down and watch the fun without it being too big a deal.

　　Presumably both Rosalinda and Atio are very familiar with Milaya and his wife.

"Lanqi, Tata, I'm sorry that there has been a lot of turmoil in the Posen Demon World recently, otherwise I would definitely entertain you."

 Atio said to them.

 Although she looked expressionless, her voice was gentle.

Her eyes were a light ice blue, as clear as crystal, and you could vaguely see the radiance flowing in them. She was wearing a pure white lace dress, with the skirt hanging loosely at her sides, thin Like butterfly wings, she only wore a simple silver necklace, and the skin around her neck was as white as snow.

 “No, no, nice to meet you.”

Lanqi shook his head and replied.

The Posen Demon Realm now belongs to several demon lords. They are almost the highest decision-makers in the Posen Demon Realm and are directly connected with the Senate of the Posen Kingdom.

　　Tonight, District 10 Lord Perlman's banquet was held, and District 9 Lord Etiou might also attend. Originally, Lan Qi thought they would meet later today, but he didn't expect to meet her here in advance.

But tonight at the banquet, his identity was Rocky McCarthy, and Etiol probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.

 The lord of District 9, Etiou, and the lord of District 10, Pearlman, are both the strongest men in the Posen Kingdom.

There is also a human eighth-level assassin general, but he has already gone to the southern border of the Yaquitan Territory. It seems that the movements of the Creation Empire are becoming more and more confusing, so that the strongest one has to be stationed in the south to take precautions at any time. A military **** comparable to a bishop launched an attack.

“Huberlian didn't come with you. It seems I can only have a chance to go to the Kingdom of Hutton to see her again.”

 Atio said to himself with a slightly regretful look in his eyes.

 Although his expression remained unchanged, his eyes were a little twitching as if he was thinking of a lovely person.

 “Has Miss Atio seen her?”

Lan Qi asked curiously.

If you already know each other, you will feel like old friends once you meet and chat for a few words.

And Thalia has already begun to silently eat the cheese and coconut puff pastry gift box that Countess Rosalinda pushed to her. In addition to the layers of puff pastry and melt-in-your-mouth cheese, when you bite it, you will find sweet coconut paired with crystal red sweet and sour hawthorn. cake.

“I've met her a few times and I get along well with her.”

  Atio was talking to Lan Qi quite nostalgically.

　　Talia immediately became alert when she heard this, and her eyes moved from Coconut Crisp to Etio. She rarely heard that Hyperion was willing to accept the care of women other than herself.

 Her special status seems to be challenged.

Lanchi glanced at Thalia, telling her not to panic yet.

 “What do you think of Hyperion?”

Lanchi asked Aitiou.

Talia listened and almost asked Lanci the gossipy question "Do you want to be Hyperion's stepmother?"

 But he did ask very appropriately and politely.

 “I really want to give her a little bit of motherly care…”

 Atio said it bluntly.

Thalia's eyes were half complicated.

“Unfortunately, although she is a little close to me, it's not much, and I don't understand why.”

 Atio said again.

At this point, Talia breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating dessert.

 Sure enough, she is the most ideal mother for Hyperion.

Lanqi seemed to know the answer from the beginning, and did not comfort Thalia at all. He just looked at the crystal-clear demon Etio with a trace of regret.

 He knows the answer.

 But he couldn't say.

 Because if you want to become Hyperion's mother, you must meet three hard conditions, and Etiou only meets two of them.

The back of Thalia's hand trembled, she was too embarrassed to do it in front of the two people.

This **** Lan Qi didn't say a single word to offend her, but he almost completely offended her with just one look!

Thalia, who held back her anger, could only think of the best.

No matter what Lanqi thinks, Hyperian is better than her. It can only be said that Hyperian is more classy than Lanqi.

 Soon.

Thalia couldn't help but look at Countess Rosalinda, and then at Etio.

Although it was a bit rude to think this way, she somehow felt that Rosalinda and Etiu had a bit of a congenial mind.

 They may have just been holding a meeting to criticize Iphatiya.

"You may have misunderstood. I have no such thoughts about Milaya and Iphatiya. They are purely my teachers and friends. I just want to take care of their children."

 Atio said suddenly.

　　This surprised both Lanci and Thalia.

 “Can you tell what we two are thinking?”

Thalia hesitated for a moment and asked her.

She read out that what Atio said was the truth, and that Atio indeed had no special thoughts about the Milayas.

“Migaiya and Ifatiya always had eye contact like this. After looking at it for a long time, you can probably guess it.”

 Atio explained.

Just by saying this, Countess Rosalinda seemed to be hit hard. Countess Rosalinda could only pick up the goblet, feeling the bitter wine in her throat and her heart aching.

Lanchi and Talia were both having trouble talking.

　　On the one hand, it was a bit embarrassing for their little thoughts to be seen through, and on the other hand, they had unintentionally hurt Countess Rosalinda.

 It turns out that there is only one losing dog.

 This is the cruelest thing.

“Are you two thinking about something very rude?”

Rosalinda felt that the eyes of Ranchi and Tata were particularly synchronized at this moment.

These two people treat others as blind every time they look at each other and make small moves. In fact, it is very obvious, right?

"No no."

 Both of them shook their heads.

The two of them are obviously communicating in encrypted form, so why can they always be seen through?

"By the way, do you know any information about Ifatia? We have always wanted to help Hyperion find her mother."

 Lanci seemed to suddenly remember something serious, and asked Etio and Rosalinda.

Previously, he had thought about contacting people who were familiar with Milaya and Ifatia in the Posen Kingdom, and he might be able to get some clues that were not available in Hutton.

 The other party knows that he and Tata are both friends of Hyperion, so he won't be surprised by this question.

Rosalinda pursed her lips and shook her head. She was socializing more with Milaya.

Every time she saw Epatia, Rosalinda just wanted to hold back her tears and run away.

 For her, seeing the two of them kissing without drawing hair was considered a success.

 Her eyes were getting redder now.

"Well…"

 But when Atio heard this, he opened his lips slightly and sat up straighter.

 Seems to have thought of something.

 “Miss Atio, do you know anything?”

More concerned than Lanqi, Thalia looked at Etio and asked.

"Sister Ifatia...she once told me that she wanted to go to the ruins of the Creaun Empire to find an ancient secret potion of potential. It is said that the use of that secret potion can shorten lifespan and stimulate potential, and the lifespan shortening is based on The scale is reduced. If the demons use it in a certain amount, they will become similar to humans. I guess she wants to grow old with Milaya and cannot accept her watching Miliya grow old alone..."

 Atio murmured.

“Then why didn't she go when she told you?”

Lan Qi asked puzzledly.

“Because Ifatiya has procrastination, even if she has an idea, she may not implement it immediately.”

 Perhaps Milaya's care for Epatia completely left her unable to move.

　　It wasn't until Iphatiya had a quarrel with Miliya that she disappeared out of thin air.

Now that Atio thought about it, he felt that according to Epatia's character, it was possible to achieve this goal by leaving Milaya.

Lanchi slowly turned his head and glanced at Thalia.

You demons are really weird.

 It seems that Ifatiya left more than ten years ago, and there is a high probability that she ran away from home.

As expected, you can't just find a pure-blood demon wife.

 Marry a demon wife and enjoy a single life.

Thalia heard Lan Qi's heart and sneered.

You want to marry but there is no place to marry.

Except for her occasionally being gentle to Lan Qi, Xiubao has always accommodated Lan Qi. How can any girl tolerate this guy?

 He cannot get married.

"But a human's life is very short compared to the demons themselves. Is it really worthwhile for her to spend more than ten years looking for medicine?" Lan Qi looked at Aitiou again and asked.

The past ten years have been an irreparable long time for both Milaya and Hyperion.

Although he could understand what she was thinking, he was neither an Immortal nor she, and he had not experienced her life, so he could not put himself in her shoes and determine her mood at that time.

"Hard to say."

 Atio can only evaluate it this way.

If Ifatiya really fell in love with Milaya, she might spend more than ten or twenty years looking for a medicine that would allow her and this human being to spend a real life as a couple. This was a price that she could accept and must pay.

“Shouldn't this medicine be poison to the demons?”

Thalia didn't understand why her sister spent so much money to find a potion that could hasten her own death.

 If it were her, even if this medicine was given to her, she would not choose to drink it.

“I don't understand it either, but I believe Sister Yifatiya has figured it out.”

 Atio shook his head and said.

 Lanqi doesn't know whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing.

If Efatia cannot find this medicine, Hyperion will only have the beginning of a happy family, but not the end.

 Whether she can find her or not, she has never been with her mother since she was a child.

But he and Tata did get a useful piece of information.

Efatia is very likely to be in the Crega Empire.

 On the way to find Milaya, they may be able to find Iphatiya first.

 Several people in the office were chatting.

The sky was covered with clouds, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, a different kind of sunset was vaguely visible.

 Dark gray clouds enveloped the entire city, completely blocking the original sky.

 It is like the rays of light covered by a thick gray gauze, in which wisps of rich crimson silk threads can be vaguely seen wandering, occasionally breaking through the clouds and creating a gap in the gray sky.

“By the way, Sister Rosalinda, is there any way to mail and consign our paintings?”

Lanchi looked at the sky, estimated the time to meet up with Nigel, and asked Countess Rosalinda.

 The work completed in the examination shall belong to the candidate himself after paying the material fee.

"As for that painting, there is currently no better way to send it back to the Kingdom of Hutton. Now that we are facing a war that may break out at any time, the risk is much higher than before. Multinational transportation companies are no longer willing to sign high-cost insurance policies, so you have to take it back in person. .”

Rosalinda said to them.

“Can you ask Senior Sister Rosalinda to keep it safe for us during this period?”

Seeing Tata concentrating on eating cakes, Lan Qi made a decision for them both.

“It's possible, but I would rather put it in an official institution in Parrieu than in the Count's Palace of Asturias.”

Rosalinda nodded hesitantly,

 “When will you return to Hutton?”

 She asked again.

“Maybe two or three days, maybe a week?”

Lanci replied uncertainly.

As for the rare materials he and Talia needed to reconcile [Calliera's Shadow Weave], Countess Rosalinda and the Battisti family had almost completed the acquisition for them, including several pink sacred-level items. thing.

However, at present, the cooperation between the two of them in card production is still in flux, and there is always a hurdle that cannot be overcome. They originally planned to rent a card making workshop in Parrieux to complete the card production, but now they may have to return to the Kingdom of Hutton first. Long term plan.

In the temple of Huadu Parrieu, there is an epic statue of will and love. You can obtain time-limited spiritual blessings through prayers. There is also a small probability of achieving a slight success rate increase in the production of spiritual magic cards.

 So their initial plan was to complete the card production by the end of August.

It seems impossible to do it now.

The two of them would be lucky if they didn't quarrel while making cards.

"Then I suggest that you put this painting on display at the Platinum Palace for a limited time during your stay in Poison? And there will also be a certain amount of income. I can help you arrange everything with the Platinum Palace. good."

Rosalinda suggested.

Platinum Palace itself is the best security location for valuable artworks, much safer than Earl's Palace.

There has always been a saying in Parieu, Huadu, that even if the Senate is breached, the Platinum Palace will still be impregnable.

Of course no one is crazy enough to actually attack the Senate.

"no problem."

Lanchi replied simply.

It would cause trouble for Countess Rosalinda if she kept it in her home. It would be better to go to Platinumson Palace for free and get an exhibition fee without paying the storage fee.

“By the way, is there anything else you can tell us about Epatia?”

Thalia picked up another piece of cheese and coconut puff pastry and asked.

 She and Lan Qi can sit here and chat for a while longer.

On the one hand, she wanted to know the information, but on the other hand, she really missed her sister too much. Just hearing about the trivial details of her sister's life in those years made her very satisfied.

“If there is anything perfect in the world, it must be Sister Epatia.”

As if he had found a confidant, Aiteo leaned forward half a minute.

Thalia was stunned by Atio's sudden enthusiasm.

Atio, who originally looked a bit cold and aloof, now has eyes full of longing.

"Let's put aside how beautiful sister Ifatiya is. Her sleeping beauty appearance not only possesses dreamlike gentleness, but also is fascinating in intelligence and cuteness. It is completely unimaginable that an eighth-level demon can actually With her like this, it feels like she should be far away, but she is indeed accompanying me right in front of me. She is so lazy and comfortable, as if she is reminding the world that true beauty does not need to be deliberately publicized, and her introverted She is talented and can always solve all problems easily, and she is also a little naughty and cute. She is really a princess!"

 Atio was rarely excited, clenching his fists when he spoke.

However, she quickly realized that she had gone too far and coughed twice.

Looking across at Countess Rosalinda drinking with her head tilted in despair, Lan Qi felt that it was too cruel for her.

Previously, Rosalinda would complain hysterically to them, but now she could only cry silently.

 It turns out that Aiteo is Ifatiya's little crush.

It is understandable. When Etiou was not free, Ifatia was a great demon that could not be seen in the Posen Kingdom. It was normal for Etiou to admire her.

“However, Sister Ifatiya said that she has another sister who is the perfect princess in her ideals. She has been clinging to her sister since she was a child. Unfortunately, she really can't become a demon princess like her sister.”

Ai Tiou suddenly thought of it and spoke to the two of them,

“I simply can't imagine what the more perfect Princess Thalia is like that Sister Edita talks about.”

Lanchi and Thalia looked at each other again after hearing this.

The sister that Ifatia calls, isn't that Thalia?

 “Can you elaborate on it?”

Lan Qi asked curiously.

Thalia also cared about what Epatia thought of her back then.

“Sister Ifatiya said that Sister Thalia is very powerful, much stronger than her. After a hundred years, I am afraid she has become unimaginably strong, and she will never stand still like her.”

 Atio said.

 “Pfft…”

Lan Qi couldn't hold back for a moment. Before he could say anything, he coughed twice as if he had been stopped, and then stopped talking.

Atio looked at Lan Qi who was facing him with a tense expression and Tata who was staring at him in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

 “No, don't pay attention to us.”

Lanqi took a deep breath and said.

"And it is said that Sister Talia is very self-disciplined. She abstains from eating sweets. When she has a rare opportunity to enjoy desserts, she only allows herself to eat the highest-end ones. She will not indulge at all like a fallen demon. Indulging in lust, my sister with such a firm will will definitely carry out her wish to restore the country and will not forget the long-cherished wish of the demons so easily."

 Atio nodded and continued to preach to the two of them.

Thalia stopped eating the half-bitten pastry in her right hand.

She now feels like she is neither eating nor letting go, and is struggling and tormented inside.

At the side, Lan Qi was already lowering his head desperately and his shoulders were shaking.

 It seems that he can endure the pain even though he is laughing.

Thalia became more and more angry as she thought about it.

 She cannot hit Ranchi if she holds the coconut crisp.

 She would not be able to forgive Lan Qi if she put down the coconut crisp.

Finally, Talia couldn't bear it anymore, so she chose to finish the coconut crisp and then reached out and pinched Lan Qi. She was not so shy originally, but she felt that her face might be a little red because of Lan Qi's smile.

"Sister Yifatia also said that Princess Thalia, like a queen, would never rely on any other demons. As a princess, she is dignified and reserved and would only allow her favorite demons to get close to her, such as Yifati. Ya."

Thalia immediately withdrew her hand from squeezing Lanqi's waist, feeling on pins and needles listening to Etiou's words.

 She now felt that even if she died, she would not be able to reveal her identity in front of Etiou.

 Otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

“Lan Qi, I heard that you have been to the Northern Continent. Have you heard of Thalia?”

 Atio finished roughly talking about Princess Thalia, then looked at Lanqi and asked.

She heard from Rosalinda that Lan Qi once went to the Northern Continent to do a project at Iclita Academy.

In the Northern Continent, there might be something about Thalia, because apart from what Ifatia told her, Etiou could only read about Sister Thalia in the history books passed down from the Northern Continent. name.

 “I have indeed heard of that fairy sister.”

Lanchi tried his best to keep his expression.

His ears were almost red from holding back his laughter just now.

 “What did you hear about her?”

 Atio asked Lanqi with special interest.

As soon as Lan Qi opened his mouth, he felt a gaze staring at him.

 It seemed that Thalia was warning him not to talk nonsense.

Lan Qi suddenly felt choked.

 He can neither speak the eight-character mantra nor lie.

"She is gorgeous, rational and touching. She is the most evil, evil and crazy demon. She does more harm to the world than her talents, but she can control her own heart and desires. Compared with using force to solve problems, she is better at solving problems. Break through the enemy's heart and inflict the most cruel curse and torture on the enemy!"

 Lanqi directly recited the entire words of his former student Zestila.

When he first went to the Northern Continent, the little magic dragon student he met when he was still a tutor was Thalia's number one fan.

 “You are worthy of being a sister's sister.”

 Atio immediately clasped his hands, his eyes full of respect.

Thalia felt like she was going crazy.

 Why do students from the Northern Continent think so?

 Because it's the truth.

 It shows that there are indeed people in the Northern Continent who think so!

And Thalia is not sure whether Lan Qi has ruined her reputation in the Northern Continent!

 After all, Antanas almost mistook Lanqi for her husband.

“It's getting late, let's take our leave first. Thank you both for your hospitality!”

Thalia grabbed Lan Qi's back collar, and when she stood up, she also stood up with Lan Qi, saying goodbye to Rosalinda and Etio on the opposite side of the sofa.

She knows that Etiou is a white guy, but Lanqi is a bastard. If they continue to chat, Lanqi may lead Aitiou into a super black guy!
