Don't confiscate my citizenship

Two weeks later.

It was late December.

On a winter morning in the south of the Kreihe Empire, the first station of Blildha gradually woke up in the morning light.

The station is located in the Duke of Osetta Square in the north of Blildha City, near the central city. It was built 134 years ago and designed by the half-demon craftsman Ulti Stechini. Due to the reconstruction and municipal planning issues at the time, it took more than ten years to complete and put into use.

"When I first came to this station, it was Nicholas who received me."

Lanqi walked in the square outside the station and told Ifatia and Migaiya who were traveling with him.

"It's amazing that the director of the Imperial Special Operations Department personally welcomed you to Blildha."

Ifatia clapped her hands and said.

"You are worthy of being the sister-in-law."

Migaiya also praised like Ifatia.

"No, Duke, what the hell is sister-in-law?"

Lanqi found that Migaiya's address to him would change adaptively in different situations these days.

If Migaia was in front of Hyperion, she would have called Ranchi by his name with a little elder attitude.

If Sigrid was present, Migaia would probably treat Ranchi as a colleague and get closer to him, like Toliado did with Ranchi.

At this moment, when only Talia was there, Migaia directly called him brother-in-law.

Ranchi suspected that Migaia was a super actor and was deliberately playing tricks on him. When Ifatia was still worried about how to call him, Migaia had already developed adaptive seniority.

"At that time, Nicholas almost put silver handcuffs on you, and you were still receiving guests."

Talia walked behind and exposed the truth that Ranchi had said before without a good mood before Migaia could speak.

She was attached to Ranchi that day, watching Ranchi and Nicholas fighting wits and courage all the way, her heart was beating, but Ranchi's heart was not beating.

"Meow, back to this station again."

The cat boss was in Lanqi's hand, looking at the first station of Blildada at the end of the square.

The light gray sandstone of the station was built into a towering wall, and the clearly layered steps connected the square. The eight huge arched windows on the front were inlaid with stained glass of the Royal Seros. The patterns on the windows changed with the movement of sunlight, depicting the legend of the twelve moments.

On the side of the heavy metal gate of the central entrance, two majestic black stone lions stood, guarding the tranquility of this station.

The roof of the station was covered with bronze copper plates, and the smooth lines extended from the towering clock tower to the main building.

Walking into the station hall, it was really a bit reluctant to leave when it was time to say goodbye.

Today was the day they left Blildada, and they were finally on the road back to their hometown, the Kingdom of Hutton.

However, since everyone came to Blildada in different ways, there were now three main routes back to Hutton.

The return routes of Hyperion and several big demons were all through the regular channels of the Allies.

They had set out last night for the Thuringian province in the northeast of the Krein Empire, the city of Nystro, which was different from Lanqi's return route.

Lanqi and Talia's visas were still in the Persian Kingdom, and many of their identity documents were kept by their friend Lieutenant General Nigel in the Flower City Pariel, so they had to go back to Pariel first, report to their superior Nigel, and then return home.

Sigrid also had visa issues and wanted a formal customs clearance record for the Kingdom of Hutton, so Toliado had to send her back to Nanwantina.

"Sigrid will leave the latest, but she may arrive the fastest."

Talia followed Lanqi and the others on the concourse level. She calculated that Sigrid would probably go back to the Cat Boss Restaurant first. The Cat Boss had already written a check-in letter, and Sigrid could hand it to Asna and move in on the second floor with her bag.

Toliado and Abigail, the dimensional branches, also have plans to go to Ikerit, but they are related to the drama, and they are expected to arrive later.

"After all, the dimensional express arrives immediately after the order is placed. She can go back directly by the space gate and leave and arrive at any time."

Lanqi actually considered taking the dimensional express back, but was rejected by the dimensional bishop. He was determined not to sell long-distance eighth-level tickets.

"I said that Toliado should send us all back. It's so convenient."

Ifatia said confidently.

"Then he may have really run away."

Migaiya shook her head and looked for the direction of the platform according to the road signs.

Toliado ensured that Sigrid was sent back to Hutton because of the business practices of the dimensional branch.

If Ifatia caught Toliado and asked him to send everyone back one by one, Toliado would never agree to it.

"Toliado is a cardinal after all. Those spells are the most advanced strategic resources in the military industry. It's a bit too extravagant to use them for civilian life. We won't be too late if we take a car back."

Lanqi thought it would be nice to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Anyway, there is no urgent work now, so we can rest wherever we go.

During this period, we have been playing in Brillda every day, and have made up for all the holidays we missed before.

Although several of the military gods who are familiar with them are also on vacation, it is too easy for the military gods to come to the station to attract onlookers, so they came to the Monastery of St. Clement to find them last night as a farewell.

"I guess it won't be so easy for everyone to see meow in the future."

The cat boss missed these temporary comrades.

Everyone shared life and death to get through the last difficult time.

The one who impressed it the most was the cat-human sister, who was inexplicably kind to it, making it feel embarrassed.

After it was convinced that the God of War was no longer an enemy, it was no longer so afraid of the God of War.

"Well."

Lan Qi observed Boss Cat and probably guessed what Boss Cat was thinking.

The Twelfth Army God Bianca, who was on vacation, was always looking around in St. Creation's Monastery during this time, and then left with a look of confusion and regret.

It was like she was looking for something but couldn't find it.

According to Lan Qi's guess, although Lan Qi had never seen the cat boss transform into a human being, he probably guessed that the cat boss had transformed into a cat man during the Moon God Festival and was captured.

"Lan Qi, what's wrong, meow?"

The cat boss didn't understand why Lan Qi looked at it and didn't speak.

"nothing."

Lan Qi forgot to tell the cat boss that when Loren gets his vacation and returns to the Kingdom of Hutton, he will first go to the main destination of family leave, his hometown of Klantel, and secondly, he will at least go back to Ikerita During this period, there may be a military god accompanying him, but Lan Qi will not spread any uncertain news.

There is a high probability that they will be these military gods who are currently relatively idle.

It's called protecting the emperor, but actually it may be because he's afraid that the emperor will run away.

If Emperor Loren suddenly stopped returning to the Kingdom of Hutton and expressed his intention to defect to the Kingdom of Hutton, the military gods would be really upset and they would not even be able to accuse Loren of treason.

"Actually, to be honest, Meow, it's really amazing that they didn't insist on going with you, Meow."

Boss Cat raised his head and whispered to Lan Qi.

Thinking back to the day when Brildatalia and Sigrid first met, the cat boss was still desperately trying to save Lanci.

Even though Lan Qi was able to overcome the difficulty in the end, Thalia and Sigrid still held on to Lan Qi and wouldn't let go.

"Thank you, Boss Cat. As long as you are here, I have nothing to fear."

Lan Qi looked down at the little black cat, his eyes full of trust.

It wasn't until the end that he realized that he could be a super overturned person, and Boss Cat had always been his most trustworthy friend.

"Don't look at me like that, meow."

The cat owner shrank his head and muttered. He had seen Lan Qi go through a harsh life-and-death situation, and thought he would be scared. Unexpectedly, he gave him the courage, and an ominous premonition began to surge in his heart.

Chatting all the way.

Not long after, the four of them and one cat arrived at the platform of Brilda First Station and sat down on a bench.

The vehicle they were waiting for had not yet arrived.

There is already a magic rail train arriving on the opposite track.

Lan Qi sat on the bench and subconsciously looked at the reflection on the reflective glass of the carriage. He carefully looked at his outfit and repeatedly confirmed that there were no flaws. Only then did he feel relieved.

"No, Lan Qi, why do you feel like you are going to be a spy when you return to the kingdom now?"

Thalia asked as she turned her head and stared at Lanqi in surprise.

"Is there any?"

Lanci asked Thalia.

"You blended in perfectly when you came to Brilda. You have never been a spy, but you were caught by Nikolai the Kestrel of the Imperial Special Operations Division without any guilt or flaws. At that time, I thought you were an ace agent. , stay calm in times of crisis.”

Thalia didn't know what to say, she gestured with her hands,

"But don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean to say you were handsome, and I wasn't moved at the time. Anyway, I wasn't complimenting you just now."

They sat on a bench and talked.

The benches in the waiting area on the platform level are also made of classic wood, and the divine patterns carved on the backrests allow passengers to feel the classic charm of Brilda while waiting.

The chats of fellow travelers while waiting for the train, the farewell words of relatives and friends, and the news of the arrival and departure of the train from the radio, all mixed together to become the unique melody of this space.

"..."

Milaya sat on another adjacent bench, silently watching Lanci and Thalia chatting, thinking.

Brother-in-law, son-in-law, or colleague, this is a question.

Now he has somewhat guessed the content of the agreement between the three of Hyperion, Sigrid, and Thalia.

At the beginning, the strategies chosen by the three of them seemed to be in a certain equilibrium state. The kind of strategy combination that exists in non-cooperative games makes them make the choice that is most beneficial to them no matter what other people choose.

No matter whether the opponent sneaks away or not, it must be right to choose to sneak away. Just like when you hear the news of a run, no matter whether the run is true or not, it is equivalent to having already happened. If something goes wrong, you will definitely run away. The late ones suffered severely.

Later, at a certain point, Hyperion and the others tacitly changed their strategies and began not to interfere with each other and not get involved in each other.

In theory, this is the overall optimal strategy for the three of them.

But this requires great mutual trust. Once any party changes its strategy, the other two parties will adopt the worst strategy.

"Honey, what are you thinking about?"

Epatia looked at Milaya's face, raised her head and asked him.

"Analyzing the stock market."

Milaya raised her hand to cover her cheek and said to Ifatiya.

Love and finance are all areas of gaming, so it is absolutely correct to call this analysis of the stock market.

In this brief moment of silence, in the distance, a vague silhouette appeared at the end of the track accompanied by a whistle.

Soon, the vibrations on the track gradually intensified, a low rumble was heard, and the shape of the train became clearer. The early morning sunlight shone on the car body, and the light on the head of the train gradually became brighter, penetrating through the layers of early morning light. The mist guides the steel behemoth to its destination.

The fine snow on the track disappeared instantly under the crushing force of the wheels. The train slowed down steadily and finally stopped steadily beside the platform.

Passengers walked toward the doors one after another. For a while, the platform was crowded with people, footsteps and voices coming and going.

At the end of the passenger line, Lan Qi picked up the dark brown suitcase and stood up with Mi Gaiya and the others calmly.

"Are your tickets for room 501?"

Lan Qi looked at the ticket in Milaya's hand and asked.

"Yeah, it looks like we're very close, but actually Yifa and I are going to be in carriage No. 5."

Milaya looked towards the direction of the carriage that was more to the left of the platform, and said to Lanci and Thalia.

There are individual private rooms and double private rooms. This is a relatively high-end type, which is the Brilda that Lanqi took when he came.

Ifatiya said she wanted to be with Milaya, so her sister Thalia could only reluctantly get along with Lanci.

"Okay, see you later then."

Lan Qi waved goodbye to Milaya and Ifatiya.

"See you later!"

Ifatiya also raised her hands and waved to them.

They would meet again at the transfer station later. This was only the first train departing from Brilda.

"Our carriages are quite close."

Lan Qi quietly waited for the bustling crowd in front of him to gradually clear up before he stepped forward, and Thalia followed immediately.

"The two of us were riding together in the car at first."

Thalia recalled meeting Lanci for the first time, and not long after staying with him in Nanwantina, she took the magic rail train with him to the royal capital of Icerita.

This moment is just like that moment.

"You didn't want to talk to me at all at that time. You were really cold."

Lanci remembered that unless he asked Thalia a question along the way, Talia would just sit and look at him coldly like he owed her money.

"You do owe me money."

Thalia read Lanqi's thoughts and spoke with reason.

"Hey, we are so familiar with each other, do you still remember how much money I owe you now?"

Lan Qi almost forgot about the debt owed by Talia for so long.

He really didn’t make much money. Whether he was the principal and governor in the Northern Continent or a professor and consultant in the Creation Empire, he had always been honest and upright. He only received a basic salary and had to reimburse the money how he wanted. The funds were all used to build the campus. And while doing research, what I actually spend more on myself is family expenses and so on.

"The production cost of the Poet of Love that we negotiated at that time was 75,000 pounds, because it is difficult for the Wilford Chamber of Commerce to directly come up with so much liquid cash. We can only wait for you to slowly make money before repaying Thalia, with compound interest at an annual rate. Calculated at 4%, if you want to pay off the fixed amount in 10 years, you need to pay me back at least 9,247 pounds every year. If you can't pay it back, plus late payment fees, it will add up to the principal and interest. You have now paid it back on time. It’s two installments, which means if you want to settle it within this year, you still need to give me 62,256 pounds.”

Thalia calculated in seconds.

"...No Tata, are you so good at math?"

Lan Qi always thought that Talia was not very smart, but now she discovered that when she talked about the debt, she got the result instantly.

"What do you mean I'm not very smart? I can even teach you magic engineering. How can I not figure it out?"

Talia accurately captured what Lan Qi was thinking, and she just used the simplest method to roughly calculate. If the interest was calculated on a daily basis, it would be higher than 62,000.

"Oh, by the way, if you ever think of doing something rude to me again, I'm going to give you a raise."

She suddenly thought of an idea and smiled slightly.

Among the clauses they signed at that time, one of the clauses was that based on the future interest rate fluctuations of the Federal Bank of the United Parliament of the Southern Continent Kingdom, the two parties could adjust the interest after negotiation.

"No, sister Tata, you are the smartest, don't increase the interest rate."

Lan Qi quickly said to Thalia.

"But having said that, if you want to settle this debt directly, there are legal means..."

Thalia murmured, thinking deeply.

"What can I do?"

Lan Qi felt a little numb just thinking about the more than 60,000 pounds. The Wilford Chamber of Commerce may not be able to come up with so much money now. If Lan Qi was an honest and upright principal, he would not be able to earn so much without doing some side jobs. If money is really not enough, he can only make cards and sell paintings, but to be honest, he doesn't want to engage in art just to make money.

"Think for yourself."

Thalia snorted inaudibly and turned her head to stop reminding him.
