Don't confiscate my citizenship

"Smile~"

"Even though your heart is aching~"

"Smile~"

"Even if it's broken~"

It is a light and melodious classical song with lyrics that encourage people to keep smiling even in difficult situations.

Several arrangements have been heard in several city-states in the Land of Evernight.

This is the oldest hotel in Little Night City. It not only attracts generous wealthy businessmen to stay, but is also the best choice for great lords to entertain distinguished guests.

Hector City, the orc city-state in the deepest part of the Land of Eternal Night, also known as Little Night City, stands quietly on the border of the vast snowy night. This city seems to be located at the end of the world, shrouded in eternal twilight.

The day at noon is just a brief interlude of night, fleeting.

The backbones of the mountains were covered with heavy snow and turned into a group of silent gray giants, silently witnessing the passage of time.

The city-state itself is covered with snow all year round, covered in silver, and tightly embraced by the arms of the goddess of winter.

As the core of the city-state, the square is flanked by tall tower-like buildings, crafted from dark stone bricks.

The snow on the conical roof flows down like a silver-white cloak, and the crystal wind chimes hanging under the eaves sway lightly in the breeze, playing a sweet melody.

In a spacious and luxurious executive suite on the top floor, no matter how the wind and snow are raging outside the window, the interior is always bathed in soft light.

Occasionally, the sound of pages turning gently came from the coffee table, and the magic player was playing songs.

"Today is your seventh day in the northern realm of eternal night..."

Boss Cat suddenly said.

"As long as you smile~"

"Meow meow meow!"

It found that Lan Qi ignored it. The guy just turned up the knob of the player, drowning out the voice of the cat boss.

This made Boss Cat very dissatisfied.

"Lan Qi! Your attitude is very bad, meow. I want to educate you, meow!"

Boss Cat was rolling on the sofa dissatisfied.

If Lan Qi ignores it, it will feel that its sense of existence has completely disappeared.

"Boss Cat, you can't bully me. Is it really okay for you as an eighth-level person to bully me as a sixth-level person?"

Lan Qi touched Boss Cat's head and began to show weakness.

"Lan Qi Shui Shui Wei Meow."

Boss Cat suddenly became speechless.

no.

It also wants to write a book, and when the time comes, it will write a story about a green tea lady Lan Qi who meets the cold-blooded good-for-nothing prince Thalia, the kind-hearted half-demon Duke Young Master Hugh, and the domineering Bishop Sigre of the Northern Continent.

Just thinking about the scene in the Shura field where the green tea lady confidently preyed on Kaizi and was finally discovered by the three male protagonists, Cat Boss wanted to fast forward and write about Lan Qi being spoiled and crying for mercy.

She deserves it.

"Are you imagining something very rude?"

Lan Qi turned his head and stared at Boss Cat, feeling that Boss Cat was thinking about something very chaotic now.

"No meow."

Boss Cat shook his head in denial.

After hearing this, Lan Qi finally hesitantly started reading the book and stopped playing with Boss Cat.

In the kitchen of the hotel suite, tempting baked rice is baking in the oven, and the aroma is permeating the air.

And the cat boss came to the living room to chat with Lan Qi unwilling to be left alone.

Because Sigre is sleeping in the bedroom and Tata is cooking in the kitchen, no one can play with it.

As the city-state of Eternal Night closest to the Demon Realm, Little Night City has been heavily influenced by the Demon Realm in its magic engineering. The hotel is equipped with the same magic devices as the Demon Realm to isolate noise, whether it is the cooking sound in the kitchen or the music in the living room. The sound of chatting would not affect Sigre who was sleeping soundly in the room.

Although Sigre was not responsible for navigation along the way, he was in the back seat to help Lan Qi keep an eye on the snowfield road conditions and the presence of monsters, so that Lan Qi could drive easily.

Only Tata was eating and sleeping along the way, and then he and Sigre kept each other warm.

Sigre doted on Tata very much. Every time she visited a city-state, she would buy her most recommended local delicacies and feed them to Tata on the way.

She seems to have completely accepted this retired version of Kaliera, and even somewhat understands Ranchi's happiness in feeding small animals.

According to the observation of Boss Cat, Sigre was originally a little girl with the potential of a female Lanqi many years ago. Lanqi was obsessed with Talia, and Sigre was indeed attracted to her.

"Lan Qi Lan Qi, why did you talk so little along the way? When our Lan Cat team was living together in the Northern Continent, you could chat with me for a long time every day."

Boss Cat asked, ramming his head at Lan Qi.

"No, haven't I always talked a lot?"

Lan Qi felt that his side was being hit by soft black fur balls, and replied.

"Yeah, meow."

The cat boss was pleased that Lan Qi was no longer having to work, but he didn't know what use he had in the team now.

Can an eighth-level beast also lose his job?

In fact, the fake slate can be used by Tata to help Lan Qi. At most, it has more high-level wind magic and can give Lan Qi four more lives. But now there is no opponent who can make Master Lan Qi enjoy his first attack. Two lives.

Click.

The sound of the door lock twisting sounded, attracting the attention of Boss Cat and Lan Qi.

They looked into the distance and saw the door of a bedroom opened, and Sigre walked out with her hair slightly raised.

She was sleepy-eyed and wearing a suspender skirt and pajamas. She walked to the dining table and picked up a bottle of Snowfield Ice Spring and started drinking it. It looked like she had just woken up.

"Sigre, how many times have I told you that you are a big girl and you need to be more careful."

Lan Qi could only maintain etiquette, stared at the writing, and said to Sigre.

Sigre's too casual and light clothes seemed like she didn't care that he was still sitting here.

"What's wrong? Kaliela and Little Black Briquettes don't care about anything."

Sigre put down the water bottle and asked Lan Qi, looking like he was resurrected.

"Or will the Pope admire me with that kind of gaze?"

She deliberately ran over and sat next to Lan Qi, clinging to him like an innocent little girl, not caring about the difference between men and women.

"Meow……"

Boss Cat couldn't tell whether Sigre was deliberately testing Lan Qi or seducing Lan Qi, or whether she really didn't think about it in this regard and still regarded herself as the little girl who could be easily picked up by Lan Qi twelve years ago.

Even though Sigre's proud figure made Lan Qi feel a softness that couldn't be ignored, he quickly avoided it and sat on the single sofa on the other side, giving up his seat to Sigre.

"Sigre, in my eyes you have always been a good child, but you also need to take into account some objective factors. For example, you are now a complete beauty. Correspondingly, you must remain more worthy of this The etiquette of beauty and talent.”

Lan Qi preached to Sigre.

"Well."

Sigrid wanted to refute something, but after hearing Lan Qi's words of such high emotional intelligence, she felt that she no longer wanted to tease Lan Qi.

She waved her hands casually, went back to the room, changed her clothes, put her coat pocket again, and walked out.

"By the way, the last time we came to Xiaoye City, did we stay in a similar room?"

Sigrid was lying on the armrest of the sofa, looking out the window at the falling snow in the night.

In the previous dream, she was sitting on a chair at one end of the round table, lying on the edge of the table and falling asleep. Lan Qi was sitting quietly beside her reading a book.

Coming to this area, the rabbit orc residents of Little Night City have long been accustomed to the long nights and fleeting days, and their rhythm of life has completely adapted to the rhythm of the night.

Due to the city-state's unique geographical location and rich natural resources, it still attracts scholars, hunters, explorers and travelers to come looking for a temporary place to live.

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

This place far away from the human kingdom is undoubtedly full of dangers for humans who are not strong enough or do not have bodyguards accompanying them.

Fortunately, Lan Qi had formed a good relationship with Little Rock from the very beginning, and every lord who visited him in the future had a qualitative improvement in their first impression of him.

After he repaired the statue and communicated with the great lords, he received their favor and help without exception.

Therefore, the six days from Little Rock City to Little Night City were smooth sailing, with almost no accidents or waves.

The only hiccup was in the increasingly mountainous area in the second half of the journey. The two of them and one cat encountered a sudden snowstorm and were forced to take refuge in a cave for a short time to avoid the threat of avalanches.

Perhaps it was on that day that Sigre witnessed his work of repairing the statue of the god with her own eyes. While packing her luggage, she began to take a keen interest in his painting tools and sculptures. Lanci introduced her to her the details of each tool with great patience. Uses and your own experience of using it, as well as how to appreciate the mystery of art.

Anyway, the two of them spent most of the time talking along the way. Whether it was learning or teaching, it could speed up the passage of time for them.

Looking back now, Sigrid just feels extremely nostalgic.

But now that I am embarking on the journey again, I feel particularly at ease and comfortable.

This trip was not as hectic as the last one, and there were no two million troops and a precarious war situation in the south. There would be no vampires in the snow. It was already peaceful, and there was no sense of urgency on the journey.

Her physical strength at her peak was much better than that of the ten-year-old girl in her dream, and Lan Qi didn't have to visit the lords and repair the statues in every orc city-state, so the entire schedule was very relaxed.

Just like now, they can hide in a warm hotel in the middle of winter and chat, waiting for Caliera to cook.

Everything is happiness.

"Yes, the big lord of Xiaoye City arranged a room for us last time. We originally had no place to live."

Lan Qi put down the book, showed a rare smile, looked at Sigre and replied.

Xiaoye City, an independent city-state close to the Demon Realm, is very popular among Demon Realm merchants. It is also the starting point of the Demon Clan's business travel route and the end of the Paulante Empire's business travel route.

The journey with Sigre was very unforgettable and touching for him.

"I really didn't expect that your affinity for small animals would also work for the orcs. They all like to trust you."

Boss Cat climbed onto Lan Qi's shoulder and also sighed.

"..."

The living room became quiet again.

When Boss Cat looked at Lan Qi's expression again, he only found that his smile slowly disappeared.

It wondered if it had said the wrong thing, shaking its head back and forth and looking at Lan Qi and Sigre.

Sigrid looked at the cat boss helplessly.

Boss Cat is a master of last-hitting. Lan Qi seemed to have already let go of the disappearing bunny people in Little Night City, but after hearing Boss Cat's words, he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

Sigrid remembered it clearly.

Just like the Lord Argom of Little Rock, he was not very close to Lan Qi at first, but later he showed a side as cute as a bear in front of him.

It was not a natural attraction, but they felt sincerity and respect from Lanqi, and they responded to Lanqi with the same thing.

Sigrid naturally understood Lanqi's feelings after hearing about the discovery of several orc city-states along the way.

The orc lord of Xiaoye City had done a favor to the blood clan many years ago. At that time, the blood clan was weak, and many blood clans were hunted by wolf vampire hunters. It was difficult to gain a foothold in the human kingdom where the day and night were divided into half, so they fled all the way to the land of eternal night.

So the deepest part of the land of eternal night became their best hiding place.

The old lord of Xiaoye City felt sorry for these blood clans who were covered with wounds. Under their desperate pleas, he distributed the blood of the snow beasts he hunted to them, saving many blood clans, including the future eighth ancestor of the blood clan, Marquis Somerset.

Marquis Somerset promised the old lord that he would repay his kindness in the future.

The absurd thing is that the blood clan's repayment is that one day in the future, Somerset will personally kill all the rabbit people in Little Night City.

Lanqi saw the prosperity of several orc city-states along the way, and he had no reaction.

He regained his usual calmness.

But after hearing this story, he still smiled helplessly.

When people smile for no reason, they are either bored or suffering.

"Are you okay?"

Sieglie sat next to Lanqi again, but this time she didn't deliberately get close to him, but kept a comfortable distance for him.

If she was Sigrid, she might hug Lanqi to comfort him at this moment, but she is now playing Sieglie, so let's maintain mutual respect for the time being.

"It's okay, I just feel that this blood moon ruins the world. I didn't feel it in the darkest turbulent period, but in the peaceful period now moving towards light, it will make people feel a kind of absurdity, but I don't know what to say."

Lanqi shook his head calmly and smiled again.

But Sigrid's concerned eyes did not move away, nor did they waver.

She still stared at Lanqi tightly until Lanqi began to be a little confused, leaned back and leaned on the back of the sofa.

"You can't hide it from me. Even if I can't read your heart, I can read your eyes."

Sigrid said.

This shadow world itself does not seem to be difficult. Perhaps it is because Lanqi did everything too much in the first three shadow worlds, and the last shadow world began to become a bonus game.

But Sigrid is sure that this shadow world is the saddest for Lanqi.

He wanted to save everyone from the bottom of his heart. After finding that the dust of this era had settled, he was constantly experiencing the powerlessness of Lanklos of the Black Sun.

Even if his personal ability has surpassed Lanklos of the Black Sun, and he can do better than Lanklos every time, he still can't resist the direction of the entire world and the wheel of fate, just like in the present world, he can't end the war in the southern continent by his will and save all the creatures in suffering.

The stronger the obsession of a creature, the more extreme it will become once the obsession is broken.

No one knows what choice Lanclos made or how he ended at the end of the Blood Moon World.

Sigrid always has a bad feeling.

Because she feels that at the end of his life, Lanclos of the Black Sun was full of extreme negative emotions, and all he needs is an opportunity to detonate them all and make Lanclos of the Black Sun completely collapse.

Lanch is going through such a process now.

[Mission Objective 1: Read the letter from old friend Kaliela; go to Pascual, the Purgatory City of the Demon Realm. (Unfinished)]

[Mission Objective 2: Understand the state of mind of Lanclos of the Black Sun: 4.67%. (Unfinished)]

[Mission Objective 3: All challengers survive until the end of the 21-day limit, with 14 days, 2 hours and 35 minutes remaining. ]

As a challenger, Sigrid can actually see this panel, but Lanch doesn't know it for the time being.

Sigrid has always been concerned about Lanqi.

Whenever she saw Lanqi's understanding of Black Sun improve, she seemed to be able to empathize with the heartache. She knew that Lanqi was not so indifferent under his calm surface. He was always thinking in his heart. He cared about it. He would be sad and he would be resentful.

As for what Lanqi would understand in the end, it all depends on his deep self.

"If I change, will you wake me up?"

Lanqi looked at Sigrid and joked.

He thought it was time to lighten the atmosphere. This shadow world was a journey of reminiscence. It would be good for everyone to be happy together.

Even the song playing in the room was telling them not to forget to smile.

"No."

Sigrid shook her head, not wanting to joke at all.

"If there is hell ahead, I will go with you. I believe that every decision you make will not leave you alone."

She looked at Lanqi and said.

"..."

Lanqi was stunned for a moment.

The purple pupils seemed to be asking him: Don't you know me well enough?

Just looking at the bright and sharp purple eyes, he couldn't tell whether it was Sigrid or the person he was familiar with in the real world.

But soon, Lanqi shook his head.

How could the natives in the shadow world suddenly become real people? He must have imagined too much. At this time, he began to miss Sigrid in his subconscious, so everyone he saw looked like Sigrid.
