Don't confiscate my citizenship

 Chapter 770 Lan Qi may begin to understand Black Sun

Vehicles pass through the road paved with bluestone slabs. The low buildings on both sides of the street are bustling with activity. Human residents live here day and night. Occasionally, there are demons passing through. The downtown area is always brightly lit.

 After a long journey, they finally arrived at their residence tonight, the most luxurious Snow Bear Palace Hotel in the city-state.

"The most eye-catching building in Little Rock is the Snow Bear Palace. It's a shame that we didn't pass through Little Rock when Hyperion and I went from the Demon World to the Paulant Empire last time. I've long wanted to take you on a tour. A trip to this snowy city-state.”

Sigre introduced Talia enthusiastically and led her forward quickly.

Snow Bear Hotel looks like a majestic palace.

Two huge white bear statues in front of the door are like loyal guards, guarding this majestic building.

 “Sigre, walk slowly, I won’t get lost.”

Thalia followed Sigre and said softly.

 Sigre's treatment made Thalia feel itchy, as if she really had a daughter.

If Hyperion is by her side, Thalia will feel that her magical life is complete.

"Although Kaliela is old, he is still very useful and will not get lost alone."

　　After paying the driver’s bill, Lan Qi spoke to Sigre and Talia.

 The two people in front looked back at him and said nothing.

 “You are so.”

Thalia didn’t even know what to say about Lanci.

 This is why she had always been Lan Qi's teacher but never thought of him as her son.

The traitor who only thinks about attacking the master all day long is not a good boy for his mother at all.

"Calliera has a good temper and won't care about what you say. If it were a female demon with a bad temper, I would have knocked you down by now."

Sigre said with emotion.

 After saying that, she turned back, looked around in the direction, and walked towards the hotel with Kaliela again.

 Pushing open the heavy oak door, warm lights and comfortable heating hit your face, instantly dispelling the chill of the outside world.

In the center of the lobby stands a magic fireplace unique to the Land of Eternal Night. The orange-red flames dance happily in the hearth, making the entire hall colorful.

Sigre went to the counter to register alone and checked in for the three of them.

 “It’s still an apartment-style suite.”

Sigre handed the room card to Lan Qi and Talia.

She and Lan Qi lived like this last time, with multiple independent bedrooms and a shared living room.

The Pope is surprisingly poor and has almost no personal money, but she has saved a lot of money over the years, and it is not a problem to provide for the three of them to enjoy themselves for these twenty days.

  Anyway, after leaving the shadow world, the currency in this world is useless. Just treat her as a rich woman and spend her money.

 “I’m really embarrassed to ask you to spend money even though I’m the employer.”

Lanqi took the room card and preached.

"Then how about you help me carry the box up. I'll buy some food and ingredients from Gretel Castle. I'll spend some money to get the Pope status from you. It's not a loss."

Sigre handed the suitcase to Lan Qi and teased.

"no problem."

Lanchi responded with a kind smile.

He realized that after so many years, Sigre no longer regarded herself as a noble lord, and she would only take it calmly.

Sigre stepped out of the hotel lobby and noticed that Lan Qi was following her.

“Why, do you still have something else you want to tell me?”

 She turned her head and asked with interest.

 Lan Qi walked at a leisurely pace and seemed to have no intention of walking with her. He just wanted to take this opportunity to take a walk and chat casually, and explain some things by the way.

 “Remember to buy more food.”

Lan Qi put his hand over his mouth and whispered instructions.

 “How much specifically?”

Sigre took out a small notebook from his pocket, jotted down a few words and then stopped, raising his eyes to look at Lan Qi, waiting for his answer.

 “Let’s give it a week’s worth for both of us.”

Lan Qi thought about it for a while and decided.

"no problem."

Sigre didn’t ask any further questions. She took a note of it and took it back again.

 “I’ll be back within half an hour, I won’t keep you hungry for too long.”

She shook her hand and walked out of the glass door of the Snow Bear Hotel lobby.

　　　…”

Lanci smiled and watched Sigre leave, turned around, and walked towards Thalia, who was sitting on the sofa on the side of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, waiting for him.

 “Is it okay to let the child go out alone?”

Thalia looked up at Lanqi with a worried expression.

 She probably shouldn't be too worried, but just like Hyperion when they first met, she has a hard time letting go.

 I wish I could keep the child in my sight at all times and protect Sigre.

“Don’t worry, she has been very strong since she was eleven years old, and I don’t know what her level is now. Let’s not talk about the city-state’s protective barrier. There should be no one in this little stone city who can fight her.”

Ranchi picked up Thalia's suitcase and answered.

 “Well, let’s go upstairs.”

Thalia is very satisfied with Lanqi's boyfriend-like habits. She doesn't have to think about anything when she stays with him.

 Obviously Lan Qi would not help her carry anything before she went to the Northern Continent.

"Just tell me that when we were in Nanwantina, when I asked you to treat me to dinner, you would only give me a cold look. How dare I help you carry your suitcase?"

 Lanchi and her reviewed the situation.

“That’s true, I’m sorry, I won’t do that to you again.”

Thalia thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said to him.

　　　…?”

Lan Qi was stunned and turned his head to look at her.

He got angry and Thalia apologized?

 She seemed to be in a good mood today, and she even changed her expression to smile.

"I am Kaliela. Isn't it normal for Kaliela to be gentle?"

Thalia preached as a matter of course.

 She already likes the identity of Kaliela.

 She will also become a great demon like Kaliela.

“After you put on the veil of the Fallen Kingdom and became Kaliela, only your appearance changed into her, but you are both very good-looking, so it’s like you haven’t changed.”

Ranchi raised his doubts.

Although Thalia has more skins again.

 But he thought it was an invalid skin.

"You are saying that there is no change in me, right? I don't care about you, because you really think I look good every time."

Thalia snorted softly and walked forward.

 “You today…”

Lan Qi doesn’t understand.

If Thalia responds like this, it really seems a bit like Kaliela's demeanor as the leader of the demon world.

 The two of them passed the counter and walked towards the magic energy elevator.

Lanqi looked around and took a brief look at all the employees he could see in the lobby.

"What's wrong?"

Thalia sensed that Lanqi’s behavior was unusual.

"...In the past, Little Rock City stood at the southernmost tip of the Land of Evernight. It was like winter all year round, and the vast land was covered with bright white snow. It was a community dominated by orcs, full of primitive and rough beauty, and integrated with human city-states. of modernity.”

Lan Qi told her, stopped and held his chin in thought.

 In addition to doubts, his brows also gradually became filled with memories. Among the six city-states along the way, Little Rock is the southernmost independent city-state in the Land of Evernight and the closest to the Paulant Empire. The relationship between orcs and humans is relatively normal, there are frequent trade exchanges, and it is deeply immersed in human culture.

As you go deeper into the Land of Eternal Night, the environment will become increasingly harsh, until in the last city-state, you will almost never encounter humans in the city, and even demons will appear.

  “!”

“Yes, Little Rock is an orc city-state. Why are all the people we see now humans and bear-men?”

Thalia was also aware of the blind spots.

  She finally understood why Lan Qi said it was a bit unruly when he was waiting for the bus at the beginning of entering the city.

 Not a single cute little bear was seen.

Even if it is on the outskirts of the city-state, there is still no sign of the Bear Clan all the way to the central city. Even the Snow Bear Hotel, which the Bear Clan is proud of, has no Bear Clan employees.

 “I’ll go ask.”

Lanchi said to Thalia, and after Thalia nodded, they changed direction together.

 Go to the hotel lobby counter.

There stood a young woman in uniform, sorting out documents attentively.

 The approach of the two distinguished guests caught her attention.

“Good evening, sir, madam, may I help you?”

 The lady at the counter raised her head and showed a professional smile.

“I would like to ask, why don’t we seem to see any of the bear tribe in this city?”

Lanci asked thoughtfully.

 The smile of the counter lady gradually solidified, until a trace of compassion flashed in her eyes.

 She hesitated for a moment, as if considering how to speak.

"gentlemen."

She took a deep breath and said slowly,

 “The Ursine tribe...has long been extinct.”

When Lan Qi heard the news, he seemed to have received a blow in the head.

 “Why, so?”

He looked at the counter lady and asked, his heart almost being held by a pair of invisible hands.

"Six years ago, the Horning Empire and the Blood Tribe launched a general attack on Little Rock. The Ursine warriors led by Lord Argom resisted to the death and would never betray their allies. The price in exchange was that after the city-state was breached, it was attacked by the invaders. The massacre, whether they were warriors or civilians of the Ursine Tribe, were all executed by the Vampire Tribe to have their bellies flayed and hung on the city wall to deter other Orc city-states..."

 The lady at the counter told Lan Qi the history of six years ago.

Perhaps only those who have not been to Little Rock for many years do not know these things.

The closer people are to the orc city-state, the more understanding they will feel when they come to this city-state where there are no bear-men after the war.

Hung on the city wall, enduring the pain of torture but unable to die, until the blood and intestines drained away, and then new bears were hung up, without sparing any bear.

　　　…”

Facing the counter, Lan Qi was silent for a long time.

 A deep sadness surged into his heart, and he felt his throat tighten.

 What did the Bear Man do wrong?

Is it wrong to resist the vampires?

"So, those dead Ursines...where do they rest?"

Lan Qi’s voice trembled slightly.

"Behind the original rock and sanctuary temple in the center of the city, there is a cemetery specially established for the Ursines. There are many unidentified Ursine corpses buried there. The Pope personally carved tombstones for them, which is also a symbol of mourning and mourning. A place where I miss them.”

The lady at the counter pointed to the north of the city and whispered.

 It was difficult for her to forget that that night, the Pope was like a madman, carving his hands with blood, and crying with guilt while building a tomb for the bears.

 “Thank you.”

 Lanqi thanked the lady at the counter and quickly walked out of the hotel.

Thalia followed him with unconcealed concern.

A cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew against his face, but he didn't care.

His footsteps had only one direction—towards the cemetery.

 Through the increasingly quiet streets.

 Lanchi came to Little Rock Memorial Park.

 In the dark night, a vast white cemetery appeared before our eyes.

Countless simple tombstones stand in the white snow, like silent sentinels, guarding the rest of the deceased.

Lanqi walked slowly into the cemetery, a biting chill came over him.

 His eyes swept over the wordless monument, imagining the appearance of the bears who passed away.

 The snowflakes fell heavier and heavier, and soon they piled up on the shoulders of Lanci's coat.

He was like a solidified sculpture, standing motionless in front of the cemetery, letting the cold snowflakes cover his body.

“Sure enough, the vampires even destroyed the most important temples and statues of the bears.”

 He remembered that this was once the location of the temple.

 The temple at the back should have been rebuilt by humans.

　　Silent, thinking about the years that can never come back.

He finally figured out why in history, Black Riqing was able to break through the blockade and go to the Demon Realm to support him when the vampires were plotting to cut off the Land of Eternal Night.

Without the desperate resistance of these orc allies, which delayed the vampire's offensive for several days, Hei Riqing would never have had this opportunity.

　　　…”

Thalia couldn't tell what Lan Qi was thinking, so she nervously grabbed the sleeves of his coat and stared at him.

 But she felt that Lan Qi was shaken for the first time.

He may be thinking, is the current peace really just?

 Or is this really the ending that Lanclos of the Black Sun wants?

 The mission information has changed at this moment.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 wound up in you in the mental state of Lancross of the Black Sun: 2.71%. (Unfinished)]

The moment Thalia accidentally noticed it, a very bad premonition arose in Thalia's heart.

 Understand the black sun.

 Understand whether the end point of the black sun will be to become a black sun?

if.

If the true history is that Lanclos of the Black Sun defeated the Vampires by luck, the Vampires also chose to surrender, which is very different from the projection line of the shadow world they are in now.

This beautiful shadow world is not an illusion, nor is it a victory route uniquely created by Lan Qi. Peace has truly come to history.

 There is a force that makes the shadow world begin to return to the historical line, moving in an unshakable direction.

Thalia believes that Lord Black Sun is a kind-hearted person. It can be seen from Kaliela's video recording that even though his eyes are no longer cloudy like those of a young man, his tears are always clear.

 Peace in the face of this compromise.

 Lancross of the Black Sun has no intention of making any more sacrifices.

 Get ready to sleep quietly and alone.

 But before he died, he received a farewell letter from the fallen Kaliela.

 Decided to finally embark on the road to revisit my hometown.

 How would Hei Riqing feel when he saw this along the way?

“Lan Qi, don’t be confused. When you are hesitant, just listen to me.”

Thalia raised her hand and touched Lan Qi's cold cheek, trying to give him some warmth.

 But the tips of his hair were wet with snow, and the green pupils beneath them could not be seen clearly.

 She believed that Lan Qi had a flawless heart, a glass-like heart that seemed not to be made of flesh and blood, which was the reason why he had always been able to remain calm and not as calm as a human being.

Although Inoan's death may have opened a crack in it, the excellent qualities of Colanchi never changed after that.

 “Don’t worry, master craftsman.”

Lanchi shook his head and took Thalia's warm hands away from his face.

He looked at Thalia, who was frowning, her expression still as natural as before, and he couldn't see any difference.
