Don't confiscate my citizenship

A few days later.

Hector City, the orc city-state in the deepest part of the Land of Eternal Night, is also known as Little Night City.

On the edge of this snowy field, the city-state of Little Night stands peacefully in the eternal twilight, as if it is the end of the world.

Here, daylight looms only at noon, just a brief interlude of night.

The city-state is located in the vast snowfield closest to the entrance to the Demon Realm. It is surrounded by majestic mountains like guardian gods. Their backbones are covered with thick snow and turn into a group of gray giants.

The city-state itself is often covered with snow, covered with white snow, and embraced by the eternal winter.

The core of the city-state of Little Night City is a large square, with a tall tower-like building standing next to it. It is carefully constructed of dark stone bricks. Its conical roof is often covered with snow, like a silver-white cloak. There are crystal wind chimes hanging under the eaves. Swaying in the wind, accompanied by a light sound.

This is the most famous hotel in the city-state. In addition to wealthy businessmen who are willing to pay high prices to stay here, it is also used by big lords to entertain distinguished guests.

A spacious executive suite on the top floor.

No matter how harsh the wind and snow are outside, the interior is always bathed in soft light.

Occasionally, the pages of the book beside the round tall wooden table were gently turned, accompanied by a subtle sound.

"Today is the thirteenth day of your new job."

"News has come from the front line of the neighboring Kingdom of Bliss, and you are very anxious."

"But you know there's nothing you can do but focus on the job in front of you."

Suddenly, Lan Qi gently pressed Boss Cat's head, and he became silent.

Now Boss Cat will broadcast it once a day.

Baked noodles were being baked in the oven, and Boss Cat came over to speak to Lan Qi again.

Although Lan Qi thinks it's good that Boss Cat has more functions, he is reading a book now.

And on the chair on the other side of the round table.

Sigre was sitting, lying on the edge of the table, falling into a deep sleep, snoring slightly from time to time.

Boss Cat nodded.

It didn't even notice that Sigre fell asleep all of a sudden.

Along their journey, Sigre had very little sleep time, and spent most of her waking hours concentrating on high-intensity driving on snowy nights. An ordinary person would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

But she could still concentrate on her work.

Only in this kind of free time, Sigre would take the time to rest more.

This morning, Lan Qi has successfully repaired the statue of the God of Night and Silence. It is also the statue of the last city-state among the six more prosperous city-states in the Land of Eternal Night.

Now Lan Qi and Sigre took a short rest in this Little Night City. After lunch, they were about to embark on the final journey to the Demon Realm.

There will be no city-states that can be settled along the way, and we will probably arrive in the Demon Realm at dawn tomorrow.

"I didn't expect that your affinity for small animals would also be effective for the orcs."

Boss Cat climbed onto Lan Qi's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

This way Sigre won't wake up.

"..."

Lan Qi tilted his head, looked at the little black cat, and smiled slightly.

Maybe it's not affinity, but that they naturally like themselves.

For example, Lord Argom in Little Rock was not very close to him at first, but later he felt that the Lord became as cute as a bear in front of him.

Coming to this area, the rabbit orc residents of Little Night City are accustomed to long nights and short days, and the rhythm of life is also accustomed to the dark night. However, because of the city-state's unique geographical location and rich natural resources, it will still attract scholars, hunters, Explorers and travelers find a temporary home here.

In addition to the rabbit people who control this city-state, demons can also be seen in the city-state.

And this place is far away from the human kingdom. If humans are not strong enough, or there are no bodyguards, it will be very dangerous.

Fortunately, Lan Qi formed a good relationship in Little Rock City from the beginning, and every subsequent lord's initial impression of him became much better. And when he finished repairing the statue and communicated with the big lord, everyone The lords became very fond of him and gave him a lot of help.

So the six days from Little Rock City to Xiaoye City can be said to have been quite smooth. There were almost no accidents or waves. At most, the mountains became more mountainous in the second half of the journey. The two of them encountered a sudden snowstorm and were forced to Briefly escaped an avalanche in a cave.

Perhaps it was because Sigre saw his work of repairing the statue that day, and while packing her luggage, she became curious about his painting tools and carving works.

Lanci also patiently introduced her to the purpose of each tool and his experience in using them, as well as the appreciation of art.

Anyway, the two of them talked most of the time on the road. No matter what they were learning or teaching, it would speed up the flow of time in their perception.

Sigre is not as tired of learning as she appears to be. She just pursues efficiency in many things, such as her speaking habits and her style of doing things.

Lan Qi thought.

"Meow meow, what are you looking at?"

When the cat owner saw Lan Qi ignoring him again, he leaned close to his cheek and followed his gaze.

I saw that Lan Qi was still reading "Genesis" from this era.

There was no suitable environment for him to study while he was traveling in this land of eternal night, so it was very rare to have some leisure time to stay in the hotel and wait for the meal to be baked.

The little black cat also stood aside to watch.

There are still many human interpretations of the translation of Genesis in this era that are different from the current world, although most of them are fairy tales and legends and have nothing to do with magic itself.

For example, "Genesis" has thirty-three chapters no matter which version, the first chapter is the chapter of origin and blankness, the last chapter is the chapter of fate and reincarnation, these two chapters do not leave any magic, and the remaining three chapters are the chapter of destiny and reincarnation. Eleven chapters all record magical arts that can be interpreted.

But the last chapter says that Fate sometimes gives gifts to the people who pray to her.

This is exactly what Lan Qi heard the three clergymen say at the Sanctuary Villain Dinner——

The divinity of the goddess of fate is that as long as you pray to her, she has the power to slightly interfere with your destiny. The more devout and longer you pray, the more of your thoughts will be transmitted to her.

The oaths made to each god must not be uttered nonsense. Regardless of whether these gods still exist and whether they can interfere in the world, it may cause cause and effect.

Therefore, according to legend, there is a protective stone called Samsara Baoyu.

It may be any stone related to the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. As long as it is used as a medium, the gods can weakly interfere with the world from the conceptual side.

The reincarnation gem is a gift from a destined person. As long as you pray sincerely to the goddess of fate, she may let you have a beautiful dream, maybe by chance, maybe it is an old dream from the past.

But this kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious after all, and cannot be proved, so it is more regarded as legends and fairy tales.

"Meow meow meow, is there really reincarnation?"

Boss Cat looked at the translation of "Genesis" that Lan Qi was about to finish, and asked softly.

It doesn't know much about these things, but if it doesn't understand anything, just ask Lan Qi.

"If you believe it, there will be it. If you don't believe it, there will be none. Whether there is reincarnation or not depends mainly on your personal thoughts."

Lan Qi replied in a voice that would not disturb Sigre's sleep.

"Even if there really is a past life, the so-called letting go of obsessions means not to be obsessed with your past self, not to be anxious about your future self, not to be affected by the current things, and not to disturb your sense of proportion. When you want to understand this problem, why bother to stay It’s half a shadow of the old dream.”

Of course, this is just the state of selflessness, following one's heart's desires and not exceeding the rules. This does not mean that one has no desires, but that one controls desires and transcends desires.

Don't be obsessed with other people's opinions. Others are hell. This is the lack of respect for others.

The absence of sentient beings means that all living beings are equal.

The appearance of lifeless people is to understand life and death and find the meaning of living.

"If you can understand the absence of the Four Signs, you will find that it makes no difference whether reincarnation is true or false."

"Stop reading it, stop reading it, I'm going to be saved by you, meow."

Boss Cat raised his paws to cover his ears and muttered.

It's just a little kitten and can't understand what Lan Qi said.

Soon the cat boss jumped off Lan Qi's shoulder and headed to the kitchen in a hurry. Only the slight breathing of Sigre lying at the table could be heard.

Her face looked rare and comfortable in the tranquility. She was no longer as alert as when she was working. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was wandering on the edge of a dream.

Until she took a breath and slowly opened her eyes.

To be honest, she had never been to Xiaoye City before.

The interior decorations you see in front of you are all warm-toned logs, bringing a unique warmth to this harsh winter.

Sigre's eyes quickly fell on the figure sitting on the chair not far away.

It was an elegant man like a principal, holding a book in one hand, with a solemn and calm posture.

In the dim light, he looked particularly tall. He was wearing an unconventional dark suit with a straight collar.

His eyes are deep, with the brilliance of vicissitudes of life and wisdom, as if staring at a deeper world. His left hand holds the spine of the book firmly, immersed in the ocean of words, occasionally turning the pages of the book, and the sound it makes is loud in the wooden house. Extraordinarily clear, like the whisper of time.

"Are you awake? Dinner will be ready in a moment."

Lan Qi asked softly.

He slowly turned his head, his eyes reflecting the warm light of the room and Sigre's sleepy gaze.

"Sorry, I fell asleep."

Sigre felt very cold when she woke up in this weather. She just wanted to get into a warm quilt, but she couldn't be willful. Her job was to keep her awake, even in such a safe place.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to wake herself up.
