Don't confiscate my citizenship

The setting sun cast a long shadow on the dark wooden floor of the study room on the second floor of Lanci Mansion.

The clock hand on the wall had passed half past five.

Lan Qi was sitting at his desk, with several thick Krei language materials spread out in front of him. He was flipping through them to prepare for the upcoming work.

Thalia sat beside him and stayed with him.

From time to time, he would pick up a pen and help Lan Qi complete half of what Lan Qi had written in the book.

She knew exactly what Ranch was thinking and what he wanted to accomplish.

"Have a rest this afternoon. Do you feel that your efficiency has improved?"

Thalia asked.

"The answer is yes."

Lanci replied.

As promised, after lunch today, he went to rest on the bench beside the creek of St. Creation's Monastery for the entire afternoon. After returning home, he started working again.

Thalia also began to help him share the work of St. Creation's monastery.

Not only has she nearly optimized Boss Cat, but she has also begun to optimize the Great Love Poet. She can do almost everything the Great Love Poet can do better, and her knowledge base in magic engineering is even far greater than that of Great Love Poet. Love poets.

“Why is Boss Cat ‘almost’ optimized?”

Thalia looked up and asked.

She could hear Lan Qi's heartfelt voice at any time.

She wondered what else she could do better.

"Because it's a cat."

Lan Qi replied briefly.

"What's the meaning."

Thalia didn't understand.

"Because it's a cat."

Lanci repeated it again.

"..."

Thalia gradually tightened her grip on the pen in her hand, she understood.

I really want to punch Lan Qi.

But she was afraid that Lan Qi would be happy, so she held back.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky of Brilda outside the study into a fiery cloud, and occasionally one or two canaries flew past the window.

Lan Qi was engrossed in preparing lessons and did not notice the passage of time at all.

The thin pen tip scratched across the paper, making a rustling sound.

I have to go to class again on Monday.

Ranchi must prepare in advance.

If you want to convey some of his knowledge, it would be much more reasonable to cover it with the "Book of Genesis".

For example, last time in the Eliot Building class, the "Chapter of Sealing and Imprisonment" and "Chapter of Fire and Fury" were written in demonic characters, which disguised the secret books of "Primary Slate - Fire" and "Primary Slate - Seal". It’s integrated a lot.

Next, more in-depth teaching will need to use an interpretation closer to magic engineering, and "Genesis" can no longer be used as a shield.

Then what we need to use is the treasure of magic engineering——

"Periodic Table of Properties".

It is an extremely important tool in the field of magic engineering. It is sorted from small to large according to the ordinal number of the attributes, showing the interconnections and laws between the attributes. Lanqi's favorite course at Icerite College was "Magic". "Introduction to Genealogy" refers to it.

"Genesis" has provided the prototype of the "Periodic Table of Properties". Since unknown years, the periodic table has gone through many arrangements, re-translations and modifications, forming several types, such as short-form tables, long-form tables, and specialty tables. Table etc.

Iclita uses the short form of the periodic table in her teaching.

The table is compact and easy to view, suitable for showing the basic properties of attributes, and is suitable for beginners and teaching scenarios, making it easy to understand and remember.

The Creation Empire has long used the long-form periodic table. Strictly speaking, the kingdom also uses the long-form periodic table in advanced courses.

What Lan Qi is holding in his hand at this moment is a book with the "Long Form Periodic Table of Attributes" printed in the Creation Empire language.

The periodic table is circular in shape as a whole, and each grid attribute is subtle fan-shaped rather than a conventional rectangle.

To put it simply, there is only one attribute on the left side of the first row, which is the [Basic] attribute, which represents normal attack. It is at the very beginning, which means there is no need to learn it and everyone has it.

It corresponds to the first chapter of "Genesis", "The Original and Blank Chapter", and also corresponds to the "Original Slate-Basic". Its effect is to strengthen all normal attacks, and it is also a very special stone tablet.

Looking to the right side of the table, the right side of the first row is all element class attributes.

Most people are naturally good at at least one or two of the elemental attributes, namely [Ice], [Fire], [Light], [Darkness], [Wind], [Thunder], [Earth], [Water], [ Wood], corresponding to Chapters 2 to 10 of "Genesis".

"You are better at light and fire, and I am more comfortable with ice and darkness."

Thalia looked at these elemental attributes and said,

"It's amazing that we two get along."

She felt that she and Lan Qi were destined to be at odds with each other, but judging from their past relationship, this was indeed true.

"The basic attributes are still good, everyone likes it."

Lan Qi moved his eyes to the left and sighed.

"..."

"No, spiritual attributes are the best, you have to like it."

Thalia didn't know why, but she said this subconsciously, feeling a strange sense of competitiveness in her heart.

"Remember the first magic card you made? It was spiritual."

She tried hard to get Lan Qi to recall the magic cards he first made in his hometown of Nan Wantina.

"That's true."

Lan Qi thought for a while and realized that spiritual attributes were indeed where his dream began.

"The stealth attribute is also good. The magic card I am best at and have done the most [Transformation: Human] has the stealth attribute."

Lan Qi thought about it and said.

He can now make [Transmutation: Human] with his eyes closed.

"You are really familiar with the concealment attribute."

Talia commented.

Every time she watched Lanqi make cards, most of the time he was tinkering with the transformation.

She remembered that Hyperion's best attribute was concealment, and her demonic innate magic that erased her own sense of existence was born from her main attribute of concealment.

Lanqi's eyes followed the attribute cycle.

The concealment and spiritual attributes they talked about were in the second and third rows respectively.

There is an attribute on the left side of the second row, [Poison], which is closer to the element type, but it is already a special type, corresponding to Chapter 11 of "Genesis". There are still nine attributes on the right, [Identification], [Enhancement], [Healing], [Regeneration], [Alchemy], [Curse], [Corrosion], [Detection], [Concealment], corresponding to Chapters 12 to 20 of "Genesis".

Starting from the third row, the attribute holding rate is significantly lower than that of the second row, and the rarity is more obvious as you go to the right.

There are two attributes on the left side of the third row, namely [Mechanical] and [Link], and eight attributes on the right side, [Spirit], [Telekinetic], [Illusion], [Boundary], [Slash], [Seal], [Counterattack], and [Undead], corresponding to Chapters 21 to 30 of "Genesis".

The last fourth row, on the left side, has two attributes, [Space] and [Divination], which are also the most unstable and rare attributes. Even in most eras, there are only a handful of world powerhouses with these two attributes.

There is only one attribute on the right side of the fourth row, [Fate], standing there alone, unable to be mastered by living beings, and there is no corresponding original slate, but it corresponds to the final chapter of "Genesis", "Fate and Reincarnation Chapter", which seems to be both the end and the starting point. After a gap and dislocation on the table, it seems to be connected to the attribute [Basic] in the upper left corner of the ring periodic table.

"No one can control fate."

This is why there are thirty-three attributes, thirty-three chapters in "Genesis", but only thirty-two original slates.

Talia said as Lanqi closed the book with the periodic table of the Cremon Empire.

"Or maybe fate is actually in everyone's hands. After all, the goddess of fate has long been integrated into the world itself, and she has given the power of fate to this world."

Lanqi smiled and said to himself.

"Don't you not believe in God?"

Talia asked him doubtfully.

"I don't believe in God, but I respect those who believe in God. Some believers in the good camp always abide by the rules because they are sincere to God. Isn't this good?"

Lanqi put the book aside and turned his head to look at Talia.

"Anyway, I think those who will seriously pray to the good gods are not bad people."

He was sure.

"Indeed."

Talia agreed with this.

Hsuehbo was the most angelic girl she had ever seen, and Hsuehbo prayed to the goddess every day, and Talia saw it all.

Wait.

Talia suddenly remembered that Lanqi had also worshipped the goddess of fate.

But this guy put his hands together and raised them above his head, which always felt a bit strange.

"Landry's sister Elsa seems to be a very devout believer."

Talia stopped thinking about Lanqi's distorted worship and said.

She was worried that thinking about it further would be disrespectful to the gods.

"The child said she was going to the Temple of the Gods at noon, and then went to see a play in the evening. There are not many young people willing to run all the way from the Saint Cremon Monastery to the Temple of the Gods."

Lanqi agreed.

Elsa and Hyperion are exactly the same in this regard. Hyperion also runs from the Ikerite Academy in the East District of Ikerite to the Temple of the Goddess of Destiny in the North District of Ikerite every week to pray.

In addition to the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, whose headquarters is located in Ikerite in the South Continent, there are many churches that believe in other gods in the vast land of both the South Continent and the North Continent. For example, the temple in the Flower City Pariel is the Temple of Love.

"If Hyperion were here, she would definitely go to the temple often. I haven't accompanied her to the temple for a long time."

Talia actually fantasized about going to the temple with Hyperion in a foreign country.

Hyperion has always been longing for the Temple of the Cremona Pantheon, a famous ancient site in the southern continent.

What Talia didn't expect was that the last time she went to the temple, she and Lanqi went to the Temple of Love.

"The Krei Empire actually believes in the God of War. There is really nothing to see in the Brillda Temple of War, but in addition to the newly built Temple of War by Krei in the past hundred years, there is also the Temple of the Gods for most priests and believers to carry out activities."

Lanqi took out a Krei history book from the pile of books at hand and flipped through a few pages at random.

"If you ask me, Dean Loren is the most like a priest of the God of War, but he is the priest of the God of Fate and Reincarnation, not the priest of the God of War and Sword."

In the Krei Empire, there is no special Church of the Goddess of Fate. If you want to find the statue of the Goddess of Fate, you can only go to the Temple of the Gods, where there are statues of various gods, and there are also imperial priests who believe in various gods to maintain it.

For all churches, the source of divine arts is based on the classics handed down from the Age of Gods. Even if the world is annihilated several times, the traces of the Book of Genesis cannot be destroyed. It is the existence of this book that has led to the position of priests, and their work is inseparable from the gods.

The Book of Genesis has a total of 33 chapters, of which the first chapter is the chapter of origin and blankness, and the last chapter is the chapter of fate and reincarnation. There are no divine arts left in these two chapters, and the remaining 31 chapters all record divine arts that can be interpreted.

The difference between divine arts and magic is that divine arts rely more on resonance with the world, or resonance with the gods that exist on the conceptual side, while magic relies on the self itself, so the mana consumption of divine arts is extremely low, but the number of uses per day is limited.

The effect of divine arts used by the priest class is not only slightly related to the "spirit" and "magic" attributes, but also greatly related to the priest's unique "faith" attribute.

Engaging in church and priest work can get the opportunity to improve the faith attribute.

In addition, if you believe in the goddess of fate, the faith attribute will be applicable to all divine arts in all chapters. If you believe in a specific god, the faith attribute is only applicable to a single chapter, and it has an excellent blessing on the divine arts effect in this chapter.

The drunken warden that Lanqi and Hyperion had met on the negative sixth floor of the Helrom Underground Prison was a priest who believed in the God of Storm and Freedom. He was completely specialized in wind-attribute magic, and could rely on his own wind-attribute magic to resist many spell damages. At the same time, he could use control-type magic to block the activities of prisoners in the prison, and even push the prisoners back. He was almost invincible in the upside-down road of the Great Demon Trial.

"No wonder you have the [Upside-down Mark]."

Talia exclaimed.

The negative sixth floor of the Helrom Prison was rebuilt from the upside-down road of the relic of their demon world.

The upside-down mark is the simplest mark, and the effect is to obtain a small increase in the basic spiritual attributes.

All the demons in the demon world wanted it back then.

After all, the basic spiritual attributes are useful anyway.

"Is Lord Tiberius of the Upside-Down even stronger than Lord Kaliela of the Fall and Lord Satia of the Hopeless?"

Lanqi has rarely talked to Talia about the stories of the Northern Continent and the Old Demon Realm. Hearing that Talia was deeply moved by the Upside-Down Mark, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Next time in the Shadow World, he will take Talia back to the historical projection Demon Realm tens of thousands of years ago, so there is a lot to talk about with Talia, a genuine demon.

"Of course, the ninth-level demons are also divided into strong and weak. Think carefully, who is trapped in the three layers of prisons."

Talia confirmed.

As a teacher, she has never been reluctant to answer questions raised by Lanqi.

As long as you don't ask some damn questions.

She noticed that Lanqi's mind suddenly became active, and added a sentence at the end.

"Is that so?"

Lanqi held his chin and thought.

In fact, it can be seen from the arrangement of the inner layer of Helrom Prison.

The Great Demon Trial [Fallen Gentle Land] of the Fallen Kaliela can only be placed on the negative fourth floor, trapping the weakest Antanas.

And the [Hopeless Extinction War] of the Hopeless Satia trapped the strongest frontal combat power, Shinora, on the fifth floor.

The [Inverted Road to the Afterlife] that was actually placed on the negative sixth floor at the bottom of the Helrom Prison to block Pranay was the [Inverted Road to the Afterlife], which was also the ultimate magic left by the Inverted Tiberius.

"From the remaining history books of the demons, the Inverted Lord was a ninth-level great demon several generations earlier than the Fallen Lord, and was also one of the oldest great demon trials that still exist. He was good at [Spirit] and [Divination] attributes, and should have left a lot of treasures to the demon world, but unfortunately they all disappeared in the long history."

Talia continued to explain.

Often after death, they are transformed into great demon trials, and they are all great demons who are willing to sacrifice, and will give their last value to the demons of later generations without reservation.

Maybe it was tens of thousands of years ago, maybe it was more than 100,000 years ago. It was an era so far away that it almost disappeared completely. Today's creatures can no longer calculate how long it is from the present to the Age of Gods, and how many tens of thousands of years have passed in between.

"In the era of the Fallen Lord Kaliela, maybe we can still find the remains of Tiberius."

Talia actually envied Lanqi for having the [Inverted Mark].

Only by truly crossing the barrier of life and death can one pass the harsh test of the inverted road to the afterlife and obtain this mark.

But now that the mark is hers, she thinks it is more convenient to make a wish directly in her heart.

"No, you confiscated my Great Love Poet? We have to separate them in the future, right?"

Lanqi asked puzzledly.

"In fact, as long as I want, I feel that I can really devour Lanfu completely, because she is of the same origin as me, and after the fusion, we are indistinguishable from each other."

Talia raised the corner of her mouth with a smug look on her face, as if threatening Lanqi, be careful that she confiscated his epic card.

But doing so might permanently consume the two magic cards [Demon Fusion] and [Great Love Poet].

Talia still couldn't bear to part with it.

Now she thought Lanfu was also very cute.

"In the world line that the goddess of fate showed me, you got the poem of compassion and then embarked on the road of invincibility."

Lanqi was relieved to hear Talia think so.

It was not until nearly six o'clock that the room gradually became dim, and he suddenly realized and reached out to turn on the light in the study.

The warm yellow light poured down, Lanqi rubbed his sore eyes, stretched, and decided to take a rest.

He stood up and walked to the window, pushed it open, and let the autumn air flow into the room.

Taking a deep breath, Lanqi felt the unique beauty of the autumn dusk.

But in the world line predicted by the goddess of fate, he would be beaten into a white dumpling with bandages all over his body by Talia, and Hyperion would be killed in Ikerit early. Talia, who knew the truth about her niece, could only look at Hyperion's tombstone. If she followed the investigation, she would find that her sister was killed by the vampires. Another incident happened in the northern continent, and the Protoss Empire fell. The ending of the old friends in prison would probably not be too good.

So there was "The Rise of Talia".

It is essentially a tragic story of revenge.

The moment she found that she had nothing, she was no longer the same Talia.

The poem of compassion just gave her the ability to take revenge.

"..."

Talia also walked to the window of the study and looked at the autumn colors in the distance with Lanqi.

"Thinking about it this way, I should thank you."

Talia's eyes softened a little, and she gently raised her hand and touched Lanqi's hair.

"..."

Lanqi turned his head in surprise and looked at Talia.

The warm light seemed to cover her with a veil, and the golden demon eyes were unprecedentedly gentle.

Talia looked like a fake Talia.

"Wait, why did I beat you like that?"

Talia suddenly thought of something, and her expression returned to the past. She asked, meeting Lanqi's eyes.

Logically speaking, even if Lanqi's mind was so mean, she didn't have such a good temper when she first met Lanqi, but she had been wandering in the human kingdom for hundreds of years. No matter what, she wouldn't be so defensive that Lanqi would beat him up regardless of the danger to relieve her anger, right?

"Cough!"

Lanqi coughed violently.

Feeling that Talia's hand on his head suddenly became dangerous, he hurriedly wanted to escape.

"Tell me, what did you do to make me angry!"

Talia grabbed his collar with a fear beyond death, and grabbed him back to stop him from running.

"Nothing, really nothing!"

Lanqi took off his coat in embarrassment and wanted to run.

"Huh, you want to escape?"

Talia grabbed Lanqi's arm and pressed him against the wall, staring at him and asked,

"Behave yourself, you can't resist this time."

Talia's power is much greater than that of the sixth-level Lanqi, and Lanqi can't beat her no matter how hard he tries to escape.

Sweat broke out on Lanqi's forehead.

He now regretted sending the cat away.

With the cat boss around, Talia would at least be more restrained.

Now there are only two of them at home, and she can do whatever she wants.

And what he has to do is to suppress his thoughts, and at the same time think of a way to avoid Talia's mind connection and persuade her.

It's simply hell mode.

Just as Lanqi was swallowing his saliva and looking for a survival plan.

Suddenly, the communication magic card he put with Talia sent out a wave, interrupting their thoughts.

Talia let go of Lanqi in confusion and took out the purple communication magic card.

"Why is it Boss Cat?"

Talia muttered to herself, and quickly handed the magic card to Lanqi.

Unconsciously, the afterglow of the sunset outside the window was gradually hidden by the horizon, replaced by the rising of night.

The red moon with a layer of light gray mist made the curtains of the study room tinged with a hint of red.

Lanqi reached out to connect the communication.

"Meow...Lan...Quick...Danger..."

The intermittent voice of Boss Cat came from the communicator, accompanied by bursts of magic flow noise, and the signal seemed to be seriously interfered with by space.
