Chapter 769: Lan Qi returns to Little Rock
When the night was still dark, Lan Qi drove Sigre and Talia in a deer cart and finally saw an independent city-state called "Gretel Castle".
This city is also the first orc city-state he and Sigre have ever visited, Little Rock.
"I haven't been here for a long time. It doesn't look like it has changed that much from before."
Lan Qi has been working as a driver in the Land of Eternal Night for several hours, and now he can almost rest.
"Indeed, after the war and reconstruction, it seems to have restored its original appearance as much as possible."
Sigre also put her hands on the back of the front seat and looked at Little Rock ahead.
"very hungry."
Thalia touched her belly and said.
After a long journey, when she saw the outline of the city-state, she knew that the long-awaited breakfast time was coming.
"Little Rock's specialty products are quite good. After we rest here for a long time, we can buy some more snacks to eat on the road."
Sigre immediately sat back and said to Thalia,
"And we have a very good relationship with Algom, the orc lord of Little Rock City. The bearman lord likes Rocky. When he sees him, he wants to shout 'friend!' and give him a big hug. If If he finds out, he will definitely give us a bunch of specialties.”
Although she never thought that Kaliela would one day be able to show off directly, Kaliela in a bad state was also very cute, just like a small animal waiting to be fed.
"Repair the friendship formed by the statue of the gods. If you respect their beliefs and help them with all your strength, they will reward you accordingly. This is the case with the orc city-states in the Land of Eternal Night."
Ranch acknowledged from the front row.
The Polante Empire, which was in deep trouble at that time, was facing the pressure of the Horning Empire's army, and it was in great need to form an alliance with the Demon Realm. At the same time, the several orc city-states on the road to the Land of Eternal Night were also particularly important as transportation fortresses.
So in order to show the sincerity of the royal family of the Paulante Empire, Lanqi worked as a royal craftsman to repair the most cherished statues of the orcs for several orc city-states, and gained the friendship of the orcs with his sincerity.
Lord Argom is the leader of the Ursine tribe, the first orc city-state.
I don't know what happened to this simple lord after twelve years.
"It's exciting."
Thalia's eyes immediately brightened, and she looked at Little Rock with expectant eyes.
Darkness enveloped the city-state, with only the afterglow and lights lighting the way forward.
Under the towering city gate, the white snow is spread all over the ground, reflecting the faint light.
A few minutes later, they successfully passed through the entrance gate of Little Rock with their certificates.
You can see the inn just after entering the city.
For a small fee, it can provide a resting place for the horses of visitors to the city during their journey.
Sigre jumped down from the back row skillfully and handed over the Snowfield Deer and the sleigh to the St. Paulant Theocracy personnel at the inn.
These seemingly new caregivers quickly fed and groomed the Styx deer to ensure that they were well taken care of tonight.
"It's already seven o'clock in the morning, but it's still the same as twelve o'clock at night. Daytime is really a luxury in the land of eternal night."
Lan Qi stepped off the sleigh, took out his pocket watch from his pocket, took a look at it and sighed.
In Little Rock, there are very few daylight hours even in the summer, let alone winter.
This is also the reason why this snowfield is called the land of eternal night.
Previously, he went to the northernmost city of Bandera in the Protos Empire in the northern continent. If he went further north, he would enter a similar area known as "Eternal Night" by the world.
Asksan comes from "Eternal Night".
If there was a legendary seal master in this era who was stationed in the Land of Eternal Night, then probably no vampire would dare to set foot on the snowfield.
It's nostalgic.
"Lao Sang seems to be really good at defeating the Blood Tribe. If the Blood Tribe Marquis is one on one, he might be beaten by Lao Sang alone."
Thalia replied to Lan Qi in her heart.
Since she understood what Lao Sang was, she no longer had to listen to Lan Qi's riddles every time and could join in his conversations.
"Who are you thinking about?"
Sigre seemed to have discovered that Lan Qi was thinking about someone, but she couldn't guess who Lan Qi was thinking about.
She was puzzled.
This was the first time that she couldn't understand the Holy Son's thoughts.
His mind seemed a little confused.
"A man who has brought me so much joy."
Lan Qi couldn't hide his smile and replied.
Sigre still couldn't guess.
I haven't looked into this issue in detail.
It must be someone she didn't know, so she couldn't guess it, and it wasn't that the Holy Son was seriously ill.
The Holy Son had never been like this before when he was in the Northern Continent. He was always thinking about his teacher in the Southern Continent.
One day she will understand the answer.
"Look at the best, you can easily fall asleep at any time in the land of eternal night, and you won't be easily woken up by the sun. You can have a good rest later. It's been a hard drive all the way."
Sigre had already started moving his luggage one step ahead of Lanqi, as if it was muscle memory, and returned to the previous topic.
Since Lan Qi didn't bring so many tools for repairing the statue this time, the luggage was no longer as heavy as last time. Plus her own luggage, there were two boxes in total, while Kaliela only brought one very light one. The small suitcase contained probably only a few changes of personal clothing.
"You don't have to carry them all. The last time you were a child, you moved four big boxes by yourself. I felt embarrassed."
Lan Qi did not leave Sigre busy alone and took the box from her hand.
One of the reasons why Secretary Elm recommended Sigre to him was that she had super strength and stamina, and could almost ignore the poor visibility at night and snowy weather, and deliver her employer to the destination as quickly as possible.
If she were to serve as the driver, the two of them could basically stay in an orc city-state every day, a total of six, and they could successfully reach the Demon Realm on the seventh day.
Now at the sixth level, Lan Qi found that after watching and learning from Sigre last time, he could also be a coachman and cover a city in a day.
"Actually, I think it's good. Then others can see at a glance that we are an employer and a coachman, not a father and daughter."
Sigre stopped with a smile and lectured Lan Qi.
"Calliera, come this way, we will take the car to the hotel."
She turned back and waved to the gray-haired witch.
In the dream, Sigre was not happy with Rocky when she first came to Little Rock. Unfortunately, the price offered by the other party was too high. As long as the deal was completed, it would be enough for the church orphanage to have no worries for a whole year, even if the war broke out. , nuns can also lead the children to escape to neighboring countries without becoming refugees.
Looking back now, I feel that the memory of that dream is particularly beautiful.
When I came back to Little Rock, my mood was different.
"Okay, Sigre, go buy some ready-made dishes later. After you two finish eating, go to sleep. I will prepare dinner when you wake up."
As the person who rested the longest on the road, Talia is now in good condition, and the two of them didn't get much rest along the way. It's time for them to replenish their energy.
Later, let Sigre buy some ready-made special delicacies from Great Stone Castle. They will be able to start eating soon. When Lanqi and Sigre wake up, she will also make a more balanced meal. You can also have another nutritious dinner before departure.
"Hey, Kaliela can also cook?"
Sigre heard Lan Qi say that the little black cat was about to be optimized on the road, but didn't take it seriously.
What he never expected was that the person holding the spoon turned out to be Kaliela.
"Of course, let me take care of your diet during the next period of time."
Thalia nodded.
"What am I dreaming about...Calliera cooking for me every day?"
Sigre covered her cheeks in disbelief, looked at the sky and muttered to herself.
She felt more and more that Calliera had become what she had imagined.
She is completely a beautiful woman from the great demon race who is a good wife and mother!
Thalia read Sigre's mind.
Why are they all words of praise?
She had read Lan Qi's thoughts so much that she subconsciously felt that other people might be thinking something rude.
I didn't expect that there would be such a reverse Lan Qi person in this world.
"I'll cook for you. I'll cook for you every day these days."
Thalia looked at the treasure girl Sigre in front of her with emotion and promised.
"I'm so looking forward to it. I really want to taste what your cooking is like. The great demon will cook for me."
Sigre agreed immediately.
Such a gorgeous, sensible and touching woman, strong, dignified and gentle, has a virtuous side that is unknown to everyone, and she also makes cute moves from time to time. I really like her more and more.
"It's not that...it's really not that..."
Thalia lowered her head and spoke in a weak voice.
She didn't dare read Sigre's mind anymore. If Sigre continued to praise her, she would blush a little.
Hyperion always praises her, but Hyperion is more reserved and not as violent as Sigre. This kid is so straightforward!
"There aren't even any vampires on the road this time. It's really comfortable. I'll definitely be able to have a good sleep later."
Sigre sighed.
"I remember that such a young child could clearly analyze the war situation at that time. I guessed that the Blood Race might first begin to infiltrate the Kingdom of Fuklo and the Kingdom of Edith on the east and west sides of the Polante Empire. As long as they passed through these two kingdoms, they would But when I arrived at the snowfield, I felt that she was no ordinary little genius, but could be a commander-in-chief."
Lan Qi used the palm of his hand to indicate the height of eleven-year-old Sigre and reminisced with the woman with light hair and purple eyes beside him.
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"
Thalia complained softly, feeling left out.
"Ah, what I just talked about was when Rocky and I first met in the Paulant Empire."
Sigre briefly explained to the gray-haired witch.
The three of them chatted while waiting for the vehicle to receive visitors to the city.
She looked at Lan Qi again.
"Because I know that the enemy is not only the Huoning Empire but the blood race, it is easy to deduce the intentions of the blood race behind the Huoning Empire. At that time, you didn't know that I had wolf blood, but as a descendant of the Moon Temple, the holy land of the wolf tribe, I The orphan of the wolf clan who escaped is very aware of the cruelty of the vampire clan and the power that covers the sky with one hand. "
Sigre replied.
Many of the prime minister's political opponents before the war began twelve years ago did not believe that the vampires were the leader, but were more convinced that the Horning Empire was the leader of the war.
"And it stands to reason that I don't want to be the commander-in-chief. If you must be the commander-in-chief, give me your pope. Maybe I will be interested. This is the position worthy of me."
Sigre continued to talk to Lan Qi.
"You can take it if you want. When I return to the Theocracy of Saint Paulante, I will give up my position to you."
Lan Qi spread his hands casually.
"You'll give it to me if I want it?"
Sigre asked in surprise as if she had discovered something interesting.
After the Holy Son regarded her as Sigre, he seemed to think that this was the last time he would see her, so he would be particularly doting on her.
"As long as it doesn't violate the principles, try to be satisfied."
Lan Qi answered frankly.
Anyway, he could only stay with Sigre for twenty-one days in this shadow world, and he hoped to make Sigre as happy as possible.
It stands to reason that Saint Paulante's position as Pope would never be given away so childishly, like a promise to a child, but this time the film world was incredibly comfortable, and Lan Qi gradually adapted to this vacation mentality.
"Wolf clan...?"
Thalia murmured to the side as if she had discovered a key word.
She had only heard this word in this world not long ago.
"Sigre, are you a wolf?"
She asked, staring at Sigre.
"That's right. Even Rocky didn't know that I was a wolf before. Then on the seventh day of the journey, when I was approaching the border of the demon world, I was intercepted by the blood count and found out that I was a little wolf girl. Wow."
Sigre raised his hands with a deliberately vicious look, pretending to be a man-eating wolf, and answered to Lanqi and Talia.
"well…"
Thalia stared at Sigre for a long time, then looked away and pursed her lips.
It would be great if Sigre could be brought back to the present world.
That way she could save her sister Epatia.
When Hyperion knows that it was her favorite Sigre who saved her mother Ifatiya, she will definitely be even more delighted and cling to her half-sister and not want to let go.
Unfortunately, the more she thought about it, the more Talia realized that her only regret in the shadow world this time was that she could not continue to get along with Sigre.
When the twenty-one-day shadow world ends, she will also be separated from this perfect girl.
"Calliera, why do you look a little lost?"
Sigre stared at the gray-haired witch and asked her doubtfully.
"It's all those **** vampires who destroyed the Moon Temple. If it hadn't been for them, if it hadn't been for them..."
The more Thalia thought about it, the more she hated it.
Her sister will be seriously injured, the wolf tribe will be extinct in the world, and Sigre will have a miserable childhood, all thanks to those vampires.
"Oh, now is a peaceful time. It is not appropriate to say such things that undermine the harmony of the world."
Sigre made a silent gesture.
But she is still very grateful to Kaliela for always being willing to share the same hatred with her.
The nightmares about vampires never stopped in the past, but recently they no longer appear.
According to the current international conventions and situation, it is on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the restoration of peace in Seville. It is not good to say such inflammatory words. She had been told this in the afternoon as a grassroots member of the church.
"It's okay. You don't have to have nightmares about vampires anymore. I will protect you. Even if there are vampires, I will make clear arrangements for them."
Thalia flipped her hair and said cheerfully.
She is the strongest.
"Kaliela, my demon mother!"
When Sigre heard this, she didn't believe it, and then happily hugged the gray-haired witch.
The presence of the ninth-level Kaliela is indeed too reassuring.
Moreover, the self-confidence and domineering power of the strongest demon clan in Kaliela has never changed. Even if Sigrid has an inexplicable illusion that Kaliela has become weaker, she still has no doubt that once Kaliela How strong will it be after you take it seriously?
"Oh, how could you call me that..."
Thalia looked embarrassed, but couldn't resist Sigre's cute attack. She could only raise her hand to touch Sigre's head with a slightly red cheek.
Hyperion hadn't called her mother for so long, but Sigre just called her out directly, making Talia feel that the world was worth it.
"By the way, do you feel that this city-state is a little different..."
Lan Qi had been staring at the street since just now, muttering questions.
"There must be."
Thalia replied.
This is considered a suburb of Little Rock. Even if there are changes, it is not easy to see them. What's more, after twelve years, changes are certain.
"Are you saying it feels a bit inconsistent?"
Sigre quickly understood what Lan Qi meant.
Normal changes cannot be called violations.
On the contrary, it takes some weird changes to call it a violation.
"Yes, there is an indescribable sense of dissonance, but I can't explain in detail what makes the Little Rock I saw different from before."
Lanci agreed.
"Meow…"
Boss Cat stuck his head out from the ground and looked around.
The more it heard Lan Qi say this, the more panicked it became.
Ranch's observations and instincts were rarely wrong.
Last time it came to Little Rock with Lan Qi and Sigre.
But so far, it can't see what makes Lan Qi vaguely discordant.
Chat for a while.
Lan Qi, Sigre and Talia waited for the vehicles in the city. The human driver got out of the car and loaded their luggage into the carriage for them, and began to take them around the new Little Rock City.
"Master, go to the Snow Bear Hotel."
Lanci said to the driver.
"no problem."
The human driver replied to the three passengers with a smile and started to set off.
The scenery outside the window began to pass by.
The face of Little Rock's prosperous urban area is gradually becoming clearer under the street lights.
Thalia looked at the buildings in the city-state. Most of them were built of hard stone and specially treated wood. Their structures were solid and could withstand severe cold and snowstorms.
She is looking forward to the food in Little Rock.
To be honest, this was her first time seeing a travel-themed movie world.
She was even assigned two considerate tour guides, one who knew the way and drove the car, and the other who kept her warm.
How come there are so many good things in the world.
