Don't confiscate my citizenship

Sigley handed the room card to Lanqi and Talia.

This was the kind of house she and Lanqi lived in last time, with multiple separate bedrooms and a shared living room.

The Pope was unexpectedly poor and had almost no personal money, but she had saved a lot of money over the years, so it was no problem for the three of them to enjoy themselves for these twenty days.

Anyway, once you leave the shadow world, the currency in this world will be useless. Just treat her as a rich woman and spend her money.

"I'm sorry to ask you to spend money even though I'm the employer."

Lanqi took the room card and preached.

"How about you help me take the box up there? I'll go buy some delicacies and ingredients from Gretel's Stone Castle. It's worth spending some money to get the Pope status from you."

Sigley handed the suitcase to Lanqi and teased.

"no problem."

Lanci responded with a kind smile.

He realized that after so many years, Siglei no longer regarded him as a noble lord, and she just took it easy.

Sigley walked out of the hotel lobby and noticed that Lanqi was following her.

"Why, is there something else you want to tell me?"

She tilted her head and asked with interest.

Lanqi walked leisurely and seemed to have no intention of walking with her. He just wanted to take this opportunity to take a leisurely walk and chat, and explain some things.

"Remember to buy more food."

Lanqi put his hand to his mouth and whispered.

"How much exactly?"

Sigley took out a small notebook from her pocket, made two notes and then stopped, looking up at Lanqi, waiting for his answer.

"It's a week's worth for both of us."

Lanqi thought about it and confirmed it.

"no problem."

Sieglie didn't ask any more questions. She just wrote it down and put the notepad back.

"I'll be back in half an hour. I won't let you go hungry for too long."

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

"..."

Lanqi watched Sigra leave with a smile, then turned around and walked towards Talia, who was sitting on the sofa at the side of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel waiting for him.

"Is it okay to let that kid go out alone?"

Talia looked up at Lanci with a worried look on her face.

She probably shouldn't worry too much, but just like Hyperion when they first met, it was hard for her to let go.

He wished he could keep the child in his sight at all times to protect Siglette.

"Don't worry, she was already very strong at the age of eleven, and now I don't know what level she is at. Let alone the city-state's protective barrier, there should be no one in this Little Rock City who can fight her."

Lanky picked up Talia's suitcase and answered.

"Well, let's go upstairs then."

Talia was very satisfied with Lanqi's boyfriend-like habits. She didn't have to think about anything when she was with him.

It was obvious that Lanqi didn't help her carry things before she went to the Northern Continent.

"Just tell me about the time when we were in Nanwantina Territory at the beginning. I said I wanted to treat you to a meal, but you just gave me the cold shoulder. How could I dare to help you carry the suitcase?"

Lanqi reviewed the situation with her.

"That's true. I'm sorry. I won't do that to you again."

Talia thought about it, smiled slightly, and said to him.

"...?"

Lanqi was stunned and turned his head to look at her.

He got angry and Talia apologized?

She seemed to be in a very good mood today, and even smiled.

"I'm Kaliyela. Isn't it normal for Kaliyela to be gentle?"

Talia said as a matter of course.

She has come to like the identity of Kaliyela.

She also wants to become a great demon like Kaliela.

"When you put on the veil of the Fallen Heaven and became Kaliela, only your appearance changed to hers, but you are both very beautiful, so it is equivalent to not changing."

Lanci raised his doubts.

Although Taliyah has more skins again.

But he thought it was an invalid skin.

"You're saying that I haven't changed at all, right? I won't argue with you, since you always sincerely think I'm beautiful."

Talia snorted and walked forward.

"You today..."

Lanqi couldn't understand.

If Talia responded like this, it really seemed like she had the demeanor of the ruler of the demon world in Kaliela.

The two walked past the counter towards the magic elevator.

Lanci looked around, taking a quick look at all the employees he could see in the lobby.

"what happened?"

Talia sensed something unusual in Lanci's behavior.

"...During that time, Little Rock City stood at the southernmost tip of the Land of Eternal Night. It was winter all year round, with white snow covering the vast land. It was a community mainly populated by orcs, full of primitive and rugged beauty, and blended with the modernity of a human city-state."

Lanqi told her, stopped, and thought with his chin in his hand.

In addition to doubts, his brows were gradually filled with memories.

Among the six city-states along the way, Little Rock City is the southernmost independent city-state in the Land of Eternal Night and closest to the Polant Empire. Its relationship with orcs and humans is relatively normal, and there are frequent trade exchanges, which are deeply influenced by human culture.

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

"!"

"Yes, Little Rock is an orc city-state, why are all the people we see now humans and bearmen?"

Talia was aware of the blind spot, too.

She finally understood why Lanqi felt a little uncomfortable when he was waiting for the bus when he first entered the city.

There wasn't a single cute little bear to be seen.

It would have been fine if they were only at the outskirts of the city-state, but all the way to the central city, there was still no trace of the Bear People. Even the Snow Bear Hotel, which the Bear People were so proud of, was deserted with Bear People employees.

"I'll ask."

Lanqi spoke to Talia, and after Talia nodded, they changed direction together.

Walk to the counter in the hotel lobby.

There stood a young woman in uniform, concentrating on sorting documents.

The approach of the two distinguished guests caught her attention.

"Good evening, sir, ma'am, how can I help you?"

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

"I want to ask, how come there seems to be no bear people in this city?"

Lanci asked thoughtfully.

The smile on the counter lady's face gradually froze until a trace of compassion flashed in her eyes.

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

"gentlemen."

She took a deep breath and said slowly,

"The bear people... have long been extinct."

When Lanqi heard the news, he felt like he was hit by a blow.

"how could be?"

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

"Six years ago, the Horning Empire and the Blood Clan launched a general attack on Little Rock City. The bear warriors led by Grand Lord Algom swore to resist to the death and would never betray their allies. The price they paid was that after the city-state was breached, they were massacred by the invaders. Whether they were bear warriors or civilians, they were all executed by the Blood Clan by having their stomachs ripped open and hung on the city walls to intimidate other orc city-states..."

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

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

The closer people are to the orc city-state, the more heartbroken they will be when they come to this city-state where there are no bears anymore after the war.

Hanging on the city wall, enduring the extreme pain of torture but unable to die, until the blood and intestines were drained, new bear men would be replaced to be hung, and no bear man was spared.

"..."

Facing the counter, Lanqi was silent for a long time.

A deep sadness came over him and he felt his throat tighten.

What did the bear man do wrong?

Is it wrong to resist the vampires?

"So, where are those deceased bear people buried?"
