MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship-Chapter 617 Lanqi and Talia's card making plan

 Chapter 617 Lanci and Talia’s card-making plan

Morning light shines from the glass skylight and lingers on the wooden beams and bookshelves.

Lanchi sat on the stool opposite Thalia's recliner and chatted with Thalia.

“So you came to me today, and it has something to do with the shadow world.”

Thalia asked without question.

 “Help me look at this material.”

 Lanqi took out a light blue gradient gemstone from his pocket and spread it out in his palm.

The polyhedral orb suddenly bloomed with brilliance in the morning light. From the center to the edge, the color gradually became darker, like a shoal in the ocean, sparkling.

　　　…”

Talia glanced at Lan Qi, put down the little fox in her hand, and gently took [Kaliera's Shadow Weaving Record] from Lan Qi's hand.

Thalia muttered to herself in confusion.

"Is this...the magic power of the great demon Kaliela?"

Lanchi briefly told Talia the story of the Shadow World.

 “That’s true.”

“I didn’t, but before the destruction of the demon kingdom, the test of falling gentle land was not difficult for me, but it would be very time-consuming, so I chose other tests of character.”

 “What kind of torture is this?”

 He shuddered and immediately calmed down.

 She held this cold polyhedral gemstone and closed her eyes. She did not look at it, but felt its magic power.

Lan Qi understood. If you want to complete the trial of falling gentle land, you can't eat before completing the one hundred and thirty steps. This is simply a kind of torture for Talia. Of course, she is not willing to challenge this trial. .

There is no trauma in her heart, and the gentle land she fell into has little effect on her. She can break free as long as she finds a flaw.

"Yes, this time in the Shadow World, Hyperion and I met the fallen Kaliela from the ancient demon world, and we formed some fate with her. The final reward from the Shadow World also became Kaliela's treasure..."

Lanchi finally asked.

Back when the demon kingdom was still there, there was a big demon trial called the Fallen Gentle Country, and Talia also tried it.

"Anyway, just don't try to fall into the gentle land. Hyperion thought she could break through this spell barrier at first, but she didn't expect that she couldn't break free in the end."

“By the way, do you have [Fall Mark]?”

But this time I really felt the magic power of Kaliela. She was very familiar with the magic power of the great demon, and was even a little kind, as if it was resonating with her.

Thalia's voice suddenly woke Lanqi up.

Ranchi said.

Thalia shook her head slightly.

The last time I felt like this was when I got the Wilford family’s secret treasure [Psalm of Compassion].

"oh!"

Thalia nodded.

 She can basically imagine what kind of dream Hyperion will encounter, and she also knows how difficult it is for Hyperion to leave such a dream.

But now she always feels that her reality is the magic of falling from time to time.

 A year ago, she was a homeless person living in the open, hungry and not as well fed as a wild cat.

Later, she had plenty of money, a household registration in the Hutton Kingdom, a comfortable residence, and lived a comfortable life every day. Suddenly her niece was sent to her side again, and she made friends in this city. Old friends from a hundred years ago were brought here from the Northern Continent.

This ridiculous experience all happened in just one year.

 Sometimes she would often question whether she had fallen into the gentle land.

If Lan Qi helps her realize her wishes one or two more times, she may really be immune to falling into the gentle land, because there is no difference between reality and dreams, and there is no need for her to indulge in it.

Thinking about it, she felt that she always owed Lan Qi a few words of thanks, but she didn't know how to say it.

“So you want me to make a card for you?”

Thalia handed the orb back to Lanqi.

 When Lan Qi came to her with mysterious high-level materials, she basically knew what Lan Qi wanted.

 This moment is exactly like that time.

　　The same was true when they were working together on the [Psalm of Compassion] in the Southern Wantina Border Territory.

"Right, that is it."

Ranchi confirmed.

“Yes.” Thalia looked down at the fox rolling on the ground and agreed to him simply.

Just like last time.

 Furthermore, she knew that Lan Qi planned to go to the Creation Empire, and before that, he needed more secure power.

“In addition, I am going to the Posen Kingdom in the middle of this month. I am going to buy some materials, but I may need your help in identifying and selecting high-end materials.”

Ranchi continued.

 “You want me to come with you?”

Thalia asked.

"Yes, I am dispatched for official duties. The Southern Continent Card Makers Association will take care of all the itinerary and accommodation for my assistant. At the same time, you will also obtain the title of Examiner's Assistant, and you can shop at the Southern Continent Card Makers Association branch in Posen Kingdom. Great privileges when visiting.”

 Lanqi nodded.

Professor Bolao also reminded him that the Southern Continent has been restless recently, so it is best to find a stronger bodyguard.

 “So that’s how it is.”

She has long heard about the unique delicacies of the Posen Kingdom, but the journey is quite far compared to traveling within the country. She also has to protect Hyperion and has not planned to travel yet.

 “Will you take Pranay and the others with you?”

 “I want to ask them to guard the house.”

The Wilford family has now moved to Icerita, and the newly purchased mansion is not far from Icerite Academy. After the last raid led by Nan Wantina, Lan Qi asked Pranai They often take care of the safety of the Wilfort family, and the vampires may already know that Hyperion is related to the Wilfort family.

Originally, Lan Qi wanted to take Pranay and the others with him and let Talia stay at home. Anyway, Talia was already familiar with the Wilford family, so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable even if she stayed at their home.

 But now he has to take Thalia with him, so he can only let Pranay and the others guard the house.

From this point of view, it is safest to place Hubery in the base camp of Icerita, and you cannot take her abroad for adventure.

"Understood."

Thalia understands what Lan Qi means. If only the two of them go quickly and return quickly, this short journey will not easily attract the Church of Resurrection and the vampires. The safety aspect is more than enough, because the hatred of the Church of Resurrection is basically concentrated on Hyperion. .

“How much is the card production commission fee this time?”

Lan Qi thought for a while and finally asked.

The last time it was a ten-year mortgage of 75,000 pounds, and now I have only almost paid off the interest, and I still owe Talia more than 70,000 pounds.

But last time it was a first-level card, this time Lanqi hopes to make a sixth-level card, and the price must have changed exponentially.

 He was ready for Thalia's lion's mouth.

 “You help me find my sister, and this is the reward.”

Thalia responded calmly.

 “Well, but I originally planned to help Hyperion find Miss Epatia.”

Lanqi didn’t expect Talia to make such a simple request this time.

He didn't want to take advantage of Thalia, and the contract with Thalia was still written in black and white, which made him feel reassured.

“I know, but I only have this wish. As long as you can help me find my sister, help you make this card, and help you make cards from now on, that’s fine.”

Thalia said.

She is now very convinced of what Asna calls "Lanqi's civil service ability". As long as it is a commission from someone, no matter how outrageous it is, he can basically complete it.

"Well…"

Lanqi was stunned.

I didn’t expect that this indifferent demon princess would become so considerate.

The fake favorability game prompts him every time, but when asked, the person has never thought about what the stage reward is.

The real favorability game is that every time he brings her a gift, she will never prompt whether the favorability has changed, but it seems that it does increase a little every time. From being indifferent to him at the beginning, it becomes willing. Invited him to dinner, and later he was willing to let him stay at home, and now he even agreed to help him make cards.

"Don't be too happy. Cooperative card production is not that easy. Last time, our process steps were completely separated and each did his own thing. Actually, if you want me to cooperate with you to create high-end cards like the Great Love Poet, you need enough practice.”

Thalia reminded her calmly.

　　The pace of the two of them is very inconsistent. Every time Talia sees Lanci making cards, she feels like he is playing.

　　It can only be said that it is fortunate that Lan Qi was taught by her herself. Compared to strangers who are card makers, at least they understand each other's card making habits very well.

“No problem, but I have something to do these two days. I’ll come to practice with you when I get it done!”

Lanchi replied with a smile, stood up and prepared to return to Icerita Academy.

In the past two days, I have to continue to ask Professor Borao for advice, help the president solve problems, and help Dean Loren get an appointment.

 Once everything is settled at Icerite Academy, he can devote himself wholeheartedly to card making!
