Don't confiscate my citizenship

"You and Mr. Lodge will be escorted by the Dragon Cavalry Regiment and head to the northern border as quickly as possible. In the next snowfield, you will have to escort Mr. Lodge. Please be sure to protect his safety."

In the study of Lanci's private residence, the secretary explained the upcoming itinerary to the bodyguard Sigre.

Sigre nodded and glanced at Lan Qi, who was sitting at the table drinking tea.

Generally speaking, if they are not in a special hurry, they will not ask the Dragon Cavalry Regiment to quickly transport them to the northernmost part of the empire within the country.

In this way, the domestic journey can be shortened several times to less than half a day, but the cost of air transportation will also be many times higher than that of land transportation.

Further north, flying dragons cannot fly smoothly in the dark night, extreme cold, and wind and snow, so they have to switch to land when passing through the land of eternal night.

"The path on the snowfield must strictly pass through several independent city-states..."

The secretary gave instructions to Sigre according to the schedule.

Lan Qi also opened the small map manual with one hand and read it leisurely while waiting.

He has a habit now. Even if he has a guide, he will always have a children's map in his hand.

Under normal circumstances, the Land of Eternal Night, as a long snowfield, is quite dangerous, with hordes of ferocious beasts, chaotic security, and rejection of humans.

Now is war time.

The current situation in neighboring countries means that hidden vampire scouts may appear in the snowfields.

It can be said to make the already dangerous road even worse.

As for the route on the snowfield, it has already been planned, or there is only one best route——

Lan Qi took on a task to repair the statues of gods they believed in for the orc city-states on the way.

The orc city-states particularly respect the gods and believe that the reason why they have been able to thrive for a long time is that they are protected by the gods. The statues of the city-states are also indispensable objects in their worship rituals and other activities.

Unfortunately, the orcs are not good at this kind of craftsmanship. They basically ask craftsmen from surrounding countries to maintain the statues for them. However, due to the long-standing conflict between humans and orcs, which has intensified in recent years, and the security of the Land of Evernight is extremely poor, the famous The craftsmen are unwilling to go to the snowfield.

Furthermore, it is said that some violent orc lords may even attack the craftsmen in a rage if the repairs are not done well.

As a result, no half-hearted craftsman is willing to risk his life to cheat.

Even Little Rock, which is the city closest to the Polante Empire and the closest to humans, has sought craftsmen from the Polante Empire many times, but no master has ever been willing to take on such a thankless and risky job.

After all, no one is confident that they can satisfy the orcs for sure.

Of course, then again, if it is repaired well, it can also gain their considerable favor and favor. After all, they are straightforward.

This time I heard that a master craftsman from the royal family of the Paulante Empire was willing to take over the work, and he had taken over the repair work for six city-states from south to north. The orc city-states were looking forward to it and promised I will do my best to protect the safety of Master Rocky along the way.

Lan Qi knew very well that the Land of Eternal Night, as the road between the Demon Realm and the Paulant Empire, was even more critical during this war.

Obtaining the support and help of the indigenous orcs means great convenience. Likewise, this is territory that must never be given to the vampires.

Lanqi will try his best to convey the Horning Empire's offensive intention to the orc lords.

Although the prejudice against humans in the orc city-state is still very big, someone must take the first step before it can change.

"This gentleman is quite noble. When you take him through the Land of Eternal Night, please follow this red book and do not let him suffer any harm or unpleasantness in the orc city-state."

The secretary handed a red-covered book to Sigre. She glanced at it reluctantly, and then nodded.

If it weren't for money, she wouldn't want to escort such an overly delicate man.

"Damn, this is really troublesome."

she said to herself.

"Shh!"

The secretary trembled with fright.

"You can't use such vulgar words in front of this gentleman."

He hurriedly told Sigre and prayed that the Prime Minister did not hear this.

"What is vulgar language?"

Sigre frowned in confusion.

"It means that your choice of words and sentences should be more elegant and polite."

The secretary explained patiently to her.

Although he also knew that this coachman had some minor problems, such as easily offending the Prime Minister when she was ignorant and fearless, she was indeed a master at dealing with troubles, and leaving the Prime Minister to her was the most reassuring.

"I haven't been to school, so I don't know how to say those so-called elegant words."

Sigre spread her hands.

Most of the people she escorted before were businessmen who went to the snowy plains to do business. It was rare to hear that a high-ranking master was willing to go to the Land of Eternal Night in person. Even if there were necessary official duties, they would be escorted by professional troops, so there was no need for this. Private commissions are shrouded in mystery.

"Miss Sigre..."

The secretary felt the words stuck in her throat.

He couldn't tell Sigre that this gentleman was the Prime Minister, and he also shouldered a unique responsibility and needed to disguise himself as another identity and go all the way to the north.

"It's okay, there's no need to embarrass the children."

Lan Qi sat at the table, put down the tea cup and said with a chuckle.

Although he personally won't swear, he won't change other people's speaking habits.

What's more, this child doesn't understand.

"OK."

The secretary said gratefully to Lan Qi, and then continued to explain the rest to Sigre.

The Prime Minister has never felt sorry for him, and he has always been very considerate of his subordinates at work.

Sigre glanced at Lanqi again.

It was like a surprise that this customer was a little different from the high-ranking and powerful person he imagined.

…

That afternoon.

The few hours of travel flew by.

In the silvery snowfield in the northern part of the Polante Empire, a girl wearing a beret was driving a sled. Her figure was calm and capable, as if she was integrated with the beauty of this cold world.

In front of the sled, two snowfield deer were galloping on the snow, their hooves kicking up patches of snow mist on the thick snow, just like drawing nature's route map on the snowfield.

After Sigre set off with Lanqi this morning, he quickly arrived at the northernmost part of the Paulante Empire by air.

After renting a magical beast that could travel the fastest in the Land of Eternal Night, he left the country.

The girl's face turned reddish in the cold wind, and the deer whip she held in her hand waved gently, making intermittently sounds.

Behind her, a man sat quietly in the back seat.

His eyes focused on the small manual map in his hand.

The map was blown by the wind and the corner of the book swayed slightly. The young man seemed to be meditating on the journey ahead.

"More than half of today's trip has actually passed. The first thing I want to do when I arrive at my destination tonight is to ask you to find me a hotel that is as spacious as possible and help me buy ingredients. I will give you a list of ingredients. , just try to buy according to what is written above.”

Lan Qi's brown hair was blowing slightly in the cold wind, and her face was full of anticipation for the journey to the north.

"Can't we just find a restaurant to eat?"

Sigre asked, tilting her head slightly.

She thinks these clients are very delicate.

We didn't have much communication with the other party along the way in the Paulante Empire. He seemed to be very tired from work in the past few days and spent most of the time with his eyes closed to rest.

"That's what I thought too, but my chef suggested I cook at home."

Lan Qi looked at the shadow under his feet and sighed.

Boss Cat always says to eat out less.

Previously, he and his cat boss were in the Northern Continent. Once he started traveling, he would be the cook most of the time.

"Fine."

Sigre took out a pen and wrote down on the note.

Anyway, according to the contract, these basic costs are borne by Party A.

The better off the client is, the more she can eat.

She usually lives frugally, but now she doesn't have to pay for food and accommodation at work, and her boss doesn't mind the expense. She just wants to move more things.

Lan Qi stared at her crooked handwriting in the front row and couldn't help but smile a little.

Even though she was a little reluctant, her professional standards were very good and she wrote them all down.
