Don't confiscate my identity as a human race-Chapter 1061 - 766: Sigrid the Master of Pathfinding
"Siegler, I just want to ask, have you noticed any changes in Calila?"
Lanci asked, as if testing Siegler.
To avoid upsetting Siegler, he decided that he must cooperate with Talia during these twenty-one days to play the role of Calila convincingly.
Talia possessed extraordinary lie-detecting abilities and a faint talent for mind-reading.
Should any flaw arise, she would notice it at once and adjust accordingly.
"Nope."
Siegler replied to Lanci as she looked at him.
She also sniffed the neck of the grey-haired Demon Race member.
It was indeed Calila; the scent was unchanged, that of her mother’s.
"Hiss..."
Lanci covered his surprised mouth with his hand and ceased to speak.
Siegler couldn’t tell the difference between an eight-hundred-year vintage and a thousand-year one.
Was he the only one who felt the eight-hundred-year vintage had more kick?
"Hmph."
Talia gave Lanci a cold glance, disregarding his damned thoughts.

Having been healed by Siegler, she no longer wanted to argue with Lanci.
It wasn’t until Siegler had embraced the grey-haired witch for a long time that she reluctantly let go of her.
She turned to Lanci.
"Holy... Holy Pope, what brings you here to see me?"
Siegler’s voice faltered, nearly slipping up.
Her Saint Heir failed to recognize her as Sigrid but saw her as the Siegler from the Shadow World.
Given the situation, she was content to play along with his act.
If she were a little girl, she could throw tantrums at him without restraint.
"I need to make another trip to the Demon World. I have to pass through the land of perpetual winter, the Land of Perpetual Night. Could you please guide me there?"
Lanci sincerely requested Siegler’s help.
The main stage of this Shadow World adventure was likely in the Demon World. In addition to him, Talia, and Cat Boss, six other Challengers based on experience were probably there as well.
There was only one goal now.
That was to reach the Demon World as smoothly and quickly as possible.
"Ah, uh, no problem."
Siegler’s gaze darted away as she scratched the back of her head and agreed.
Although she had dreamt of how to travel to and fro the Land of Perpetual Night.
She was uncertain whether she could successfully make it through in one piece again.
"Is this asking too much of Siegler?"
Talia sensed Siegler’s panic.
Asking a frail nun to drive them to the Demon World through the bitter cold storms for days on end was definitely not a reasonable request.
"She’s a master of navigation."
Lanci assured Talia while pointing at Siegler.
It was no exaggeration—the last time, when Siegler, a mere eleven-year-old child, had driven him through the Land of Perpetual Night without difficulty, he had been astonished.
Now, Siegler in her twenties was surely not going to regress.
"Right, I am a master of navigation."
Hearing this, Siegler puffed up proudly, hands on her hips, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Then wait for me to change my clothes, and we can set off shortly."
Siegler told them, hardly able to wait as she dashed out of the chapel towards her residence.
"..."
Seeing Siegler’s sudden confidence, Talia decided to trust her.
If the ever-map-reliant Lanci praised her that much, her professional skills were undoubtedly solid.
"Then you call on me again at the Northern Border of Holy Polante; I will take a rest now."
Talia waved her hand, said farewell to Lanci, and vanished into an orange starlight that dissolved and returned to him.
Dangerous magical beasts could be on the snowfields outside the city-states, but with her, a member of the Great Demon Clan, present in the vehicle, no magical beast would dare come close.
One would only need to explain to Siegler that Calila had set off ahead of them and would rendezvous at the national border.
"Master, you’ve grown kinder, aware that Siegler would feel uneasy if Calila disappeared for too long, even though you could have simply mentioned meeting in the Demon World."
Lanci mused with an inward chuckle.
"Who else could I be but Calila now? Calila’s favourite thing to do is to make others’ dreams come true, even if it’s just the illusion of Falling Hometown. She always strives to help others live a beautiful dream."
Talia fully embraced her role as this ancient member of the Great Demon Clan.
A few minutes passed, and Siegler reappeared.
As soon as she returned to the chapel, she looked around nervously, fearing that Calila had vanished like the plummeting nightmare, confirming the ominous premonition in her heart.
"Calila will be waiting for us at the border."
Lanci took off his mask, tied it around his waist, and explained to Siegler.
At the same time, his appearance changed, taking on the form of Rocky as when he first set out into the snowfield.
It might be too frightening to have the image of the Pope of Polante running around.
It was better to go with the look of Rocky, the Royal Craftsman with brown hair and green eyes.
"Whew, that’s a relief."
Siegler clutched at her chest, her heartbeat finally settling down.
This was indeed the Shadow World, not a dream world as absurd as a nightmare.
"How do I look, like how I was when I first took you to the Land of Perpetual Night?"
Siegler displayed a smile, turned a circle for Lanci to get a good look at her.
In clothing starkly different from her nun’s attire.
She had changed into an outfit suitable for long journeys, with a more youthful feel, wearing a beret, her hair pinned up under the hat, with strands of light-colored hair naturally falling around her temples.
"Now you can tell you’re a girl."
Lanci answered with a smile.
When he first met Siegler, there was something androgynous about the wild child.
At that time, he even told his secretary Elm that he needed an experienced bodyguard and PR person, someone who could take him through the Land of Perpetual Night discreetly and smoothly, handling any trouble they might encounter. Siegler seemed too young for the job.
