Don't confiscate my citizenship

Amid the noisy noises of the students in the distance, Lanqi was sure that the situation had escalated to a point where he could no longer control it. Rumors were about to start fermenting.

The cat boss who fell to the ground was dumbfounded and looked up at the three people.

It went back into Lanqi's shadow again.

The gossip caused by Lanqi's hug was probably no less than Loren's open hug of two women at Ikrit Academy.

"..."

Lanqi had never encountered such a scene.

The key point was that Sigrid and Talia seemed to be enjoying it.

"Section Chief Nikola, do you know why I keep a little distance from them in school... and can you let me go to the action department quickly?"

Lanqi looked around at the students who made his scalp numb, and said to Red Falcon Nikola with gritted teeth.

He didn't want to stay on campus for a moment, and he had never felt that Red Falcon Nikola was so difficult to deal with.

"It seems that I misunderstood, Professor Landry."

Red Falcon Nikolai held back his laughter, raised his hand expressionlessly, and spoke with a bit of formal apology,

"Come on, take Professor Landry and his two wives to the Operations Department."

He signaled his men to open the door for Professor Landry, let him and his two wives get in the car, and let them take Professor Landry to the headquarters of the Imperial Special Operations Department.

After a short while, the black magic vehicle parked on the other side of the square road moved forward a little, and the door was opened by the Imperial agent.

Lanqi got into the car with Talia Sigrid without saying a word.

It would be best if the Operations Department was willing to give them a ride.

Nikolai opened the front door with one hand, signaled his men to get out of the car, sat in the driver's seat himself, and then started the engine.

Accompanied by a slight hum, the vehicle drove away from the Eliot Building of St. Cremorne Monastery and headed towards the central area of ​​the capital Blild.

"Nikolai, are you driving yourself?"

Lanqi sat in the back seat and asked the Red Falcon Nikolai in front.

In theory, Nicholas' official position is higher than his, because Nicholas is a formal officer, while he is only an external consultant.

"Now you are likely to take up the position of Chairman of the Imperial New Energy Agency Committee. If something goes wrong when your subordinates send you, the strategy department cannot bear the responsibility."

Nicholas looked at the rearview mirror and answered nonchalantly.

"..."

Lanqi stopped talking and leaned quietly on the back seat.

Sigrid and Talia always sat close to Lanqi, acting as intimate newlyweds conscientiously.

Lanqi couldn't understand why the two of them felt relaxed.

They were going to the headquarters of the Imperial Special Operations Department, located at the Hallworth Crossroads in the center of Blild, a place called "Hallworth Cross Claw".

The history of the Krei Special Operations Department dates back more than a hundred years. It was originally organized to deal with the threat of demon spies during the holy war. Because it played an important role in the holy war, it gradually turned into intelligence activities against neighboring countries and the Kingdom United Parliament Alliance.

Its mission includes secretly collecting secrets inside and outside the empire to protect the national security interests of the Kremlin Empire, prevent terrorism, organized crime, regional conflicts, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, etc. There are at least 3,000 well-trained agents, with multiple regional special service stations and professional departments. They are independent of the Imperial Military Staff and Command led by the First Military God Hecintos, but they also cooperate.

It was not easy for Lanqi to explain the situation in the empire to Sigrid who had just arrived.

But Lanqi thought about it again. Sigrid and Talia seemed to be simply acting like women who had not seen much of the world. They just wanted to be with their husbands, so it was actually quite reasonable to act.

"Professor, do you look a little more nervous today? I thought you never had mood changes."

Perhaps it was too quiet along the way. Red Falcon Nikolai took the initiative to talk to Lanqi after changing gears.

Even in the driver's seat, he still sat like a chess player.

"Guess why I'm nervous."

Lanqi almost suspected that Nikolai was deliberately making fun of him.

As long as Nicholas always stares at the rearview mirror.

Talia and Sigrid will naturally hug Lanqi and snuggle in his arms.

Even though it is November in the Kremlin Empire, he does not feel the slightest bit of cold, it is too warm.

In the back seat, Lanqi silently waited for the journey to the headquarters of the Empire Special Operations Department.

The fragrance of flowers, wind and midday sun outside the window filled the car, adding a bit of laziness to Lanqi's face. He seemed a little tired when he got in the car during the nap time.

"If you want to sleep, sleep for a while."

Talia's voice sounded in his left ear.

"I'll call you when we get there, just sleep peacefully."

Sigrid leaned close to his right ear and whispered like coaxing him to sleep.

He only felt a tingling scalp, and only the sound of breathing and the hot heartbeats of Talia and Sigrid remained in his ears.

Unconsciously, he gradually fell asleep and was knocked down by the wave of sleepiness.

When Lanqi regained consciousness, the magic vehicle had gradually slowed down and drove into the large mechanical courtyard. Lanqi half-opened his eyes and realized that they had arrived at the Imperial Special Operations Department.

"Sorry, I fell asleep again."

Lanqi shook his head slightly.

"Professor Landry, although you have come to the Imperial Special Operations Department many times, this is the first time you bring your family here. Please follow me later and don't leave casually."

Red Falcon Nicholas rarely reminded.

"Don't worry, Chief Nikolai, we are not crazy about the road. We will not lead the way on our own initiative."

Thalia responded as she leaned back in her chair and chuckled.

"..."

Sigrid pouted and glanced at Thalia, then stared at Lanqi resentfully.

Tata may have been careless, but Sigrid suspected that Ranchi had said so and led Tata astray.

"My wives know the rules."

Lan Qi responded to Thalia's words, suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked out the window.

The towering spire casts a slender silhouette in the open square. The national flag of the Creation Empire reflects the unshakable majesty of the empire. Looking up, I see the majestic figure of the Special Operations Office building standing majestically in Ruwash. Under the sky.

The vehicle stopped at the long steps in front of the building.

The scene in front of Thalia and Sigrid also stopped.

After two seconds, the car door was opened by the military guard from the operations office.

The solemn feeling unique to the secret service came over me.

This headquarters building is located in the heart of the capital Brilda, not far from the magnificent Royal Palace, separated by only a few streets.

"arrive."

Kestrel Nicholas' words made the three people in the back row look out the window.

"Are you going to see Director Dax today, or are you going to see the suspect captured by Captain Maguire?"

After getting out of the car, Nicholas Kestrel's military coat became straight again under the gentle pat. He held the brim of his hat and asked.

From his point of view, there are only two possibilities for Landry to come to the Imperial Special Operations Division today.

But unfortunately, Director Dax is not here today.

"I want to go see the suspect. I'm worried that my friend was caught accidentally."

Lanci replied, and Nicholas the Kestrel turned around to lead the way.

Lanchitalia Sigrid follows Nikolai the Kestrel on the path of the Imperial Special Operations Office.

The entire building they walked up the steps was made of off-white granite. The ivy climbing on it was dyed golden, and the bright yellow maple leaves occasionally lightly brushed against the thick metal door several meters high.

Two black stone lion sculptures stand at the door, silently warning all visitors.

Upon entering the hall, most people from the Imperial Special Operations Division would give Nikolai a brief salute.

Occasionally, agents wearing jet-black windbreakers walked by quickly, with no expression on their knife-like faces. Their military boots made a crisp sound on the marble floor, and disappeared at the end of the long corridor where light and shadow alternated in a few seconds. .

"During my absence, the conflict between Chief Nikolai and Captain Maguire has become more and more serious?"

Lan Qi asked Nicholas casually.

Nicholas is the chief of the Countermeasures Section, and his relationship with Captain Maguire of the Action Team does not seem to be good. This can be seen from the attitude of the subordinates of the Action Team.

"Fortunately, I actually have no intention of fighting with him, but I think this kind of idiot is really not suitable to be the next director."

Kestrel Nicholas said so.

But recently, the situation where the Countermeasures Section and the Operations Team are competing for credit or stumbling over each other has become more and more obvious, and the two sides are no longer acting against each other.

Following the guidance of Nicholas the Kestrel, Lanci entered the core area of ​​the Empire's Special Operations Division.

After passing through the deep and winding corridor inside the building, Nicholas led the three Landrys to a hidden teleportation ladder.

Nicholas the Kestrel took out a crystal card from the inside of his coat and swiped it across it, pressing several seemingly random floor buttons in a complex rhythm.

"I have never been to the underground of the headquarters."

Lan Qi smiled.

"Under normal circumstances, Professor, you don't need to come to the underground interrogation area."

Nikolay the Kestrel replied.

Accompanied by an almost imperceptible buzzing sound, the helicopter began to run downwards at such a speed that it seemed like it was heading towards the center of the earth.

The exterior of the Imperial Special Operations Office is covered with hundreds of restrictive barriers that have been reinforced from ancient times to the present.

Even at the eighth level, it is difficult to forcefully break into the Imperial Special Operations Office. Correspondingly, it is even more difficult to break out by force once you are in.

"Relax, Professor, you're on too much nerves today."

Perhaps sensing Landry's nervousness, Nicholas reminded him in a slightly teasing tone.

He really wasn't here to cause trouble for Landry today.

"If we had more trust between us, we wouldn't make the campus so noisy."

Lan Qi shook his head.

When the elevator door slowly opened, two cold steel doors slid open to both sides silently.

The pale fluorescent lights overhead in the long, dark cement corridor flashed rhythmically, emitting a sizzling sound of magic flowing.

Nicholas the Kestrel took the lead and stepped out of the ladder box. The agents on both sides greeted him and followed.

Closed metal doors were lined up neatly on both sides of the corridor. Each door was numbered with white paint on the outside. Occasionally, faint groans and the clanking of chains could be heard from the cracks in the door.

Being underground in this action place, all the noise is cut off, only the sounds of footsteps and breathing are left.

Nicholas the Kestrel continued walking forward with Landry and Landry's two wives, walked through the corridor several times, and finally reached the deepest place on this floor.

At the end is a double-opening door of forbidden magic steel.

Nicholas the Kestrel walked straight there. He took out the access card and waved it in front of the sensor. The door lock made a short buzzing sound and the door opened silently.

A huge atrium-like room appeared in front of the door, with a metal table and two chairs placed in the center.

In the underground interrogation room of the Imperial Special Operations Division——

Togliado was sitting on the side of the table in handcuffs, the chains of which were embedded in the metal table.

"Master Jun, I am really a good citizen. I just want to see if my friend Landry is at home. Is this against the law?"

His voice was trembling, and he was so frightened that he tried to defend himself.

The man opposite was wearing a beret and a black leather jacket. He was muscular, about thirty or forty years old, and had the aura of a police officer and a gangster air. He tapped on the table.

Lan Qi recognized it at a glance. This was Colonel Maguire, the captain of their Imperial Special Operations Division's action team.

Captain Maguire will not wear a military uniform when performing tasks, but will wear civilian clothes and lead the team to launch raids at any time.

For example, the Countermeasures Section may also negotiate on site. Nikolai of the Domestic Countermeasures Section is mainly responsible for the first on-site investigation. In most cases, Section Chief Nikolai will not initiate large-scale battles.

More head-on conflicts and arrests will be made by Captain Maguire of the Action Team.

The moment Nicholas Kestrel brought people in, the action team members in the interrogation room were all ready for battle.

"Brother, brother!"

When Togliado saw Ranchi, it was like seeing a savior.

"..."

Lan Qi's eyes were full of helplessness, while Thalia and Sigrid looked speechless.

If they hadn't known Togliado's background, no one would have believed that such a coward-looking guy was the Cardinal of the Church of Resurrection. He was really able to put down his face.

"Maguire, do your people welcome me like this?"

Nicholas the Kestrel glanced around the action team members and said.

"Hmph, misunderstanding, I didn't expect it to be one of our own."

The captain of the action team, Maguire, turned around and shook his head, indicating that his men did not need to be vigilant.

"It's Section Chief Nikolai, why are you coming to the interrogation room I'm using?"

Maguire asked Nicolas.

Nicholas the Kestrel did not answer, but simply looked at Professor Landry behind him.

"Captain Maguire, Mr. Xiduo is my friend. You may have misunderstood."

Ranch realized what Nicholas meant, took a step forward, and explained the problem to Maguire.

"Professor Landry...good afternoon."

The captain of the action team, Maguire, stopped looking at the two women beside Lan Qi for a moment, then stopped looking at other people's wives and said hello to Professor Landry.

He hesitated and couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Landry actually married two beauties with exceptionally outstanding temperaments.

"You finally came to my rescue, Landry!"

Togliado said excitedly.

"..."

Maguire looked back and forth between the two of them. The man they captured was indeed named Xi Duo.

They do seem to be acquaintances.

"This is really bad."

Maguire said to himself.

Originally, he thought that even if he surrendered, he would still have to convict this guy, and it would be a credit to him, but he didn't expect Nicholas to bring Landry to mess with him so quickly.

This kid Nicholas is really damned, he is as bitchy as ever.

"Captain Maguire, please try your best to protect my safety. I'm sorry to ask you to use your precious strength. This is all my mistake. I will definitely apologize to you in the future. If you need my help, please let me know."

Lanci gave a heartfelt sermon to Maguire.

Sigrid is not easy to comment on. Lan Qi has always been so tactful in his speech. He not only helps his colleagues, but also praises them and promises to thank them. He seems to have been in this kind of organization for a long time.

If I hadn't known that the Holy Son was actually from South Wantina of the Hutton Kingdom, I would have suspected that he was actually from the Empire.

Maguire stopped hesitating and stood up.

“Professor Landry’s face has to be given.”

Maguire readily agreed, knowing that there was no need to offend Landry.

Nicholas may be wishing he could have a conflict with Landry right now.

And Landry, by chance, may be able to become a weight at the critical point of his and Nicholas' succession as director, tilting the balance.

"Let Mr. Xiduo go quickly."

Maguire turned around and glanced at his men, and ordered.

Immediately, the action team members began to loosen Xi Duo's handcuffs and untie him.

But Nicholas the Kestrel's attitude towards Maguire was not as friendly as Lanci.

"Captain Maguire, I advise you not to waste the precious manpower of our operations department. If you have this time, why not strengthen the protection of Mr. Landry."

Nicholas said to Maguire slightly teasingly.

The best result today is of course the feud between Maguire and Landry, but it's not bad that Maguire didn't add one more effort.

"I said, do you distrust Professor Landry so much? You like to focus on internal fighting all day long, either with me or with Professor Landry. It really affects the work of our operations department. efficiency."

Maguire said while glancing at Professor Landry.

He meant this to Landry.

Maguire believes Landry has already had issues with Nikolai.

Even the clay figure should have some anger, but Landry hasn't had the chance to knock down Nikolai, the annoying falcon, in one go.

"Don't forget our working principle - you can doubt anyone, but don't trust anyone. You will fight me until you fight, and don't forget your loyalty to the empire."

Nicholas put his hands on the back of his military coat, his back always straight, and answered Maguire.

"There is no need to teach me how to do things, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai."

Maguire snorted coldly, not wanting to talk to Nicola again, and led the team past Nicola.

He came alone to Lan Qi who was standing far away.

"Professor Landry, if Nicholas causes too much trouble for you, you can contact me at any time."

Maguire took off his beret, put it on his chest, greeted Landry and gave a brief explanation.

He believes that Landry has received his invitation. This is not only an opportunity for them to join forces, but also a good opportunity to bring down Nicholas.

According to his observations in the Empire's Special Operations Division some time ago, Landry had obviously tolerated Nicholas for a long time, and he was fighting openly and secretly every day.

As for Maguire, he never offends Professor Landry and wants to save face, and there is no conflict of interest. Maybe we can make a lot of money together in the future and achieve in-depth cooperation.

"Thank you, Captain Maguire."

Lanci nodded with a smile and said goodbye to Maguire.

Nicholas turned a blind eye to the conversation between Maguire and Landry, and did not give in or be afraid because the two might join forces. He raised his hand and ordered the people who were dealing with Ceko to go back upstairs.

When he turned the corner, Nicholas did not forget to stare at Landry again.

Until it disappears completely.

"Okay, I've rescued you. Let's go to the opera house and watch the show. I think I can catch up."

Lanci said something to Togliado.

It was not easy for him to hold court with Togliado. After all, Togliado was helping him, and he did help.

"Let's go."

Togliado understood what Ranchi meant.

Now he had to save Ifatiya. He had to go to a place with a space barrier first, so that he could safely and boldly use the eighth-level teleportation magic to avoid Brilda's detection.

After saying that, Lan Qi followed the Countermeasures Section members left by Kestrel Nicholas and took the helicopter all the way to the first floor.

Go through the levels.

They returned to the bustling lobby of the main building of the Imperial Special Operations Division.

Stepping out of the gate, you will see the magnificent steps. The wide steps extend to the end of the square. Several people walked down the steps slowly.

A brand new magical vehicle stopped in front of them. The member of the Countermeasures Section opened the door for the professor. Lan Qi gave a slight greeting to the member of the staff and got into the car with his two wives.

Toliado sat in the front passenger seat.

The door closed and the magic vehicle started smoothly, gradually disappearing into the streets of Brilda city center and blending into the busy traffic.

In the car, the non-commissioned officer from the Countermeasures Section sitting in the driver's seat in the front did not dare to talk to the professor in the back without permission.

The non-commissioned officers in the Countermeasures Division were warned by Kestrel Nicholas not to speak to Professor Landry under any circumstances except in polite terms.

Lan Qi sat in the back row and didn't care. It was like this every time Nicholas asked someone to take him back. He quietly looked out the window and passed the time.

They would never talk about anything under the eyes of the Imperial Special Operations Office.

Only Togliado watched the three people in the back row with interest through the rearview mirror.

The micro-expressions on Lanchitalia Sigrid's face tell a story.

Although Togliado was captured halfway today, just by seeing the state of the three of them getting along, Togliado could roughly guess that there were some twists and turns.

Within a few minutes, the magic energy vehicle slowly stopped on the street opposite a large building inside St. Creation's Monastery.

The Brilda Opera House is also part of the city centre.

Located in the center of Manhot, Brilda, on Broadway 33, it is adjacent to famous art institutions such as the Brilda Sound Orchestra and the Brilda Royal Dance Company.

They got off the car and walked quickly as if rushing to the opening of a performance.

Just a few steps away, you can see the Brilda Opera House's large exterior wall made of beige sandstone. Through a circle of glass curtain walls, you can see the magnificent hall inside.

"I didn't expect that I just left here at noon and came back in the afternoon."

Sigrid sighed.

Brílda is so much fun.

She checked in several special attractions at noon, had a hearty meal, and had a great time petting the big gray cat.

"..."

Thalia looked at Sigrid silently.

She seemed to have read some impolite thought.

They stepped through the thick and exquisitely carved double doors together, and in the next moment they entered another time and space under Togliado's magic.

As long as they are inside the opera house, even on the first floor, Tollado can freely control the connection of the doors, making it appear that they are coming to the performance hall to watch a play, and then pass through the door to the corridor leading to the interior of the second floor of the opera house.

When they got here, they could finally talk freely, just like they were back home.

"Why is this Nicholas so accurate at reading people?"

Thalia complained gloomily, walking down the familiar corridor of the opera house.

Since coming to Brilda, Talia has been staying with Lanci, and she is especially aware of how dedicated Nikolai is to Lanci.

Nicholas the Kestrel seemed convinced that there was something wrong with Landry. He only needed one piece of evidence to catch Lan Qi. No matter what Lan Qi did, he could not dispel Nicholas' suspicion of him.

"Are you going to get rid of that kestrel?"

Sigrid turned her head and asked Lanqi as a matter of course.

She is used to acting domineeringly.

And she didn't like people staring at her Lanchi.

"No, no."

Lan Qi shook his head repeatedly.

"First of all, it is difficult to use force in the city. At most, it can only be done in a gray area where there is no city defense center. Secondly, if we assassinate the section chief of the Empire's Special Operations Division, the seriousness of the problem is difficult to describe in words. Even if we dig into the ground Three feet, the imperial military will also find the murderer in Brilda."

Togliado explained as he walked aside.

As the empire's spy chief, Nikolai the Kestrel is very smart and highly alert. It is very difficult to kill him, and if he fails, Nikolai will be able to catch him and turn his army against him.

Compared to these three, Togliardo is more like a native of Brilda and has a clearer understanding of the strength of Brilda's city defense.

If you really want to fight freely in a super-large city-state, it will have to be a large-scale turmoil similar to the Huadu Incident. It will require a large-scale armed rebellion to resist the suppression of the city defense center barrier, overload it, and in a certain period of time. It is almost ineffective within a certain period of time, thus transforming the entire "town mode" into "battlefield mode".

"By the way, you called him Xiduo? He is Xiduo, associate professor of history at Protos Royal Academy of Magic in the Northern Continent?"

Sigrid suddenly thought of something and asked Lan Qi.

Just now, she had a lot of questions to ask the Dimensional Bishop Togliado underground in the Imperial Special Operations Office, and now she remembered the most puzzling point.

If Ranchi and Togliado have known each other before, this can explain why Ranchi and Togliado have cooperated and their relationship seems to be so good.

"Yes, at that time I was beaten to death and fled to the Northern Continent, and then I worked as a teacher in the school."

Togliado replied proudly.

"Togliado, let me tell you, we can win the encounter on the northern border. If you are here, we will really be close."

Sigrid caught the Dimensional Bishop reviewing the situation and was a little excited.

At that time, she never thought that there was a hidden fighting force beside them.

I'm not happy to lose.

"At that time, I was seriously injured by Ivanos and went to the Northern Continent to seek refuge to recuperate. Even against a seventh-level opponent, I might not be able to win reliably."

Togliado understood what Sigrid was thinking, and it was exactly the same as Lanci’s brain circuit!

——If he had Toliado, he might be able to defeat the dormant Asksan and Morotian on the northern border.

Lan Qi has already reviewed it with him once.

"The actual situation is that I am not a match for Molotian at all as I am still injured."

Togliado was so numb from the review that he talked about the situation at that time.

He could only avoid Morotian and play hide-and-seek with Morotian.

"No, what are you talking about..."

Thalia walked aside, and the more she listened to them talking, the more she felt like she had been offline for a quarter.

"Are you hurt that badly?"

Sigrid only patted Thalia on the shoulder and asked her to speak later, and asked Togliardo in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Togliado was also an eighth-level bishop who was damaged in the battle.

Sigrid understands so well.

"Yes, if the Bishop of Destruction is placed among ten cardinals, his combat effectiveness will probably rank among the top five."

Whenever Togliado thinks of that crazy woman, he feels that she is too powerful and invincible.

"What on earth are you talking about? Why do I feel like you didn't play with me?"

Thalia finally got a little impatient, grabbed Sigrid's shoulders and shook her.

What she couldn't understand was that she knew all three guys in front of her, and knew them in different ways, but the three of them could talk passionately without her, which made her seem a bit redundant.

It was like the three of them were a small group, and she was the only outsider.

"It's a long story. I'll talk about it again when I get the chance. It'll take hundreds of episodes less to talk about it now."

Lanchi reassured Thalia.

They did have a super cool party in the Protos Empire in the Northern Continent, but one person wasn't invited.

"I don't care, I don't care, tell me!"

Thalia yelled.

"Tata, I will tell you slowly before going to bed at night. I will save sister Ifatiya first."

Sigrid said enthusiastically as she let Thalia sway.

Tata is so cute, but the younger sister is even more unimaginable. Since she is younger than twenty-five, she might still be a teenage sister.

Now she only has a sister who feels very much like a mother, and a sister who feels very much like a younger sister, but not a sister who feels like a real sister.

Sigrid is full of expectations for this new stepsister.
