Don't confiscate my citizenship

"Oh, it's really cold." (Good reading)

Except for the occasional conversations between the two, everything around them seemed extremely peaceful. Even though there was a rustling sound caused by the snowflakes blown by the wind, this continuous noise was the breathing sound of the snowfield.

A few minutes later, the three finally found the place where Char had dropped the suitcase and began to help him pick it up.

There were almost only some clothes, a small number of books and small magical objects, and of course a map book similar to the one in Lanciside's hand, which recorded the terrain and environment in the north of the Protoss Empire.

After entering the northern control zone, there are three provinces to the north.

Box Mountain Province is an important transportation hub.

Not too far from the Box Mountain Province is the Snowfield Province, which is dominated by several large city-states, and Kingston City is one of them.

A long way further north is the Northern Frontier Province.

They are currently in the territory of Snowfield Province, having just left Box Mountain Province.

"Thank you both, I'm sorry to bother you."

Char greeted the two again, feeling even more ashamed of his earlier escape.

"It's okay. Serving the people wholeheartedly is what I should do."

Lanqi raised his hand slightly and said.

"..."

For a moment, Char felt that he should bow even deeper.

He couldn't help but wonder, are all the seniors at the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic so friendly?

He had heard that the competition in that academy was extremely fierce and people were cold and ruthless. Could it be that times have changed?

Confused, Char thought for a while, raised his head, picked up the box, and exhaled a puff of white mist like a sigh.

"Seniors, if you are doing elective projects, it is best not to go further north. Wait for the railway to be repaired in Kingston City and then return directly to the imperial capital Helrom."

He gave heartfelt advice and took his first step.

"Perhaps it's just my superficial judgment. Not only are there open and covert struggles between the city-states that are close to each other in the north, and the provincial security is extremely poor, but the investigation team that came to the imperial capital Helrom a few days ago seemed to be investigating a certain unrest related to the north."

These two men must have gone straight to the north from the imperial capital, unlike him who initially hoped that traffic would be restored and stayed in the north for several days.

"How's it going further north?"

Lanqi had previously heard the Imperial Army captain tell him about this at the Rock Junction Train Station in Box Mountain Province, but the captain obviously didn't know the details.

"Perhaps only the lords of a few city-states in the Snow Plains Province know about this, but even if we ignore this matter, the north is becoming more and more dangerous."

Xia shook his head and walked steadily with Lanciside towards the north towards the city of Kingston.

"In addition to the increase in refugees, the crime rate is also rising sharply. Many people who cannot get help in the city-state have voluntarily or been forced to join the northern criminal organization, the Ghost Party. The gangsters just now should be external members of the Ghost Party."

Lanqi's steps were steady when he heard this, but he was in deep thought.

He remembered that the bodies of those gangsters all had octopus-shaped emblems or rings, which might be the tokens of the Ghost Party.

“Why are they so rampant?”

Lanqi asked in the snowstorm behind.

"The Imperial Army does not have the spare capacity to specifically wipe them out, and the several lords of the Snowfield Province are also at odds and cannot reach an agreement on the allocation of resources, and have been slow to improve external security."

Char also had a helpless feeling. After arriving in the north in person, he finally became convinced that the security in the south of the empire was much better.

"That's it."

At this point, Lanqi also understood the situation in the Snowfield Province.

The situation is now a mess and no one wants to take care of it. It would be fairest for us to suffer together.

The northern main force of the Silent Branch is in the northwest province and is fighting with the Imperial Army. If they help the nobles in the Snowfield Province to suppress bandits, they may be able to gain a lot of reputation for Bishop Asksan of Silent, but this is undoubtedly a thankless job. The nobles will push the work entirely to the Silent Priests. Even if they can succeed in the short term, it will also cost a lot of high priests, and the high priests are unwilling to do this.

Asksan is said to be guarding the northern border province and confronting the northern countries, but his exact whereabouts cannot be determined due to the slow flow of information.

"You should be from the south, why did you come to the north?"

When helping Char pack his luggage, Lanqi and Sid could tell where he was from, and they could tell even by looking at his attire, which looked like a lot of southern winter clothes stacked together.

"Although I am nominally the eldest son of the Southern Earl's family, I am actually very poor... I am here to marry into the Kingston family. I don't know what kind of person my fiancée is, but I heard that she is quite outstanding. It would be easy for her to skip the preparatory course and enter the school directly..."

Xia lowered his head and stammered, looking very embarrassed, as he told the two of them his true situation.

Lanqi and Sid looked at each other and immediately understood.

If your family has a title but no money, then it would be nice to marry into a border noble family with some strength.

"Aren't you worried that you won't be able to get used to life in the north? Or that the nobles in the north will treat you badly?"

Sid asked, a rare request.

"When I was a child, I actually met a girl in the imperial capital of Helrom. She was said to be a noble from the north, but she was extremely smart, elegant, well-educated, and she helped me find my father when I was lost."

As if he remembered something, Char said with a somewhat relieved look on his face.

He had no prejudice against the northern nobles and even had a relatively good impression of them. In other words, there were good people and bad people everywhere and one should not generalize.

Perhaps it was after that that he gradually became what he is today, not wanting to let his family continue to degenerate like his father.

"So she would be your fiancée, Miss Lilith Kingston?"

Lanqi added suddenly.

"How do you know her name?"

Xia was stunned for a moment, then noticed Huadian and looked back at Lanqi.

"Of course I know the name of every student at the Protoss Royal School of Magic, including those who are not yet qualified to enroll."

Lanci explained seriously.

"..."

Who in the school remembers all the students' information?

There's always a bit of a scary feeling.

Just like he would catch me if I made any mistake in school.

"I don't know. Ten years have passed. Now I don't remember what that girl looked like. I only remember that she had bright orange-red hair. She must have become a smart lady now."

Char could only shake his head in response.

Lanqi nodded and said nothing.

"To be honest, I really like witnessing the love stories of boys and girls."

Sid sighed as he walked.

"Really? You know what I'm best at is helping people get married?"

Lanqi suddenly became excited, and even his voice became much more excited, as if he couldn't wait to show his skills to Sid.

Now that you say this, he won’t be sleepy anymore.

"How about this, you hire two of us. The price is not expensive, just as fourth-level bodyguards. When you arrive at the lord's mansion, there should be some butlers or servants who follow you, otherwise it would be too shabby."

Lanqi immediately proposed to Char.

"But I don't have enough money to pay you right now."

Xia was surprised at first, but then his expression became depressed again.

This is a pretty good deal.

Indeed, they both look extraordinary.

It’s hard to tell who is the young master and who is the young lady when standing next to him.

But he has no money.

"You can buy it on credit. When the time comes, just wire the money to my and her accounts in the capital."

Lanci glanced at Sid.

Sid shrugged slightly, obviously having no objection. She was already at the fourth level, so the hiring fee could be based on the fourth level.

She just felt that this person's deception was too smooth and even seemed sincere.

The look in his emerald eyes seemed to be telling the other person that he would believe you, and made you want to believe him too.

So naturally, the two of them had an identity that allowed them to sneak into the lord's mansion.

"..."

Listen to Lanqi's plan.

The cat owner in the shadow just felt a chill.

The opportunity that led me to meet Lanqi was when I heard him say that he was good at helping others to make connections.

However, the result...

It recalled Loren crying in the chair, and that it had failed to save the noble high priest because it had trusted Lanci too easily. Later, it did not dare to go to Ikerit Academy, for fear of meeting the high priest and being mistaken for Lanci's accomplice.

Now, Lanqi feels that he is a master of love again.

Stop it you bastard!!

Don’t pollute young people’s romantic comedies, meow!

Chapter 312 No One Understands Love Better Than Lanqi

That afternoon.

The sky is a blend of ice blue and light colors, rendering the sky like a cracked glass screen. The soft and slightly cold natural light is reflected by the snow in this pure white world and becomes extremely blurred.

Three figures braved the wind and snow, and finally saw the outline of a city-state at the end of the snowfield.

"Xia Ya, you are worthy of being the heir of the assassin family. You are also a professional as a scout. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find Kingston City before dark."

Lanci grinned and praised Char.

Char lowered his head in embarrassment.
