Chapter 267 Lanqi's Leisurely Life in the Imperial Capital
On a Saturday morning in late February, the imperial capital of Helrom was awakened by the cold wind and the first light of dawn. Every corner of the street was covered with a faint white glow. Although the air was filled with severe cold, the pulse of the city had begun to beat.
In the middle of the crossroads in the downtown area, magic vehicles began to operate at full capacity on the street like a tide. The indicator lights jumped at the intersection, guiding the vehicles and pedestrians to move forward in an orderly manner. The crowds were like fine lines weaving into the texture of the city. Street artists were stationed on the pedestrian street to show their talents, attracting the attention of citizens and tourists. The shopping malls and high-rise buildings on the roadside were shining with the sunlight.
Every few meters, there was an entrance to the underground magic rail station, and the humming sound of the machine was accompanied by the chatting voices of the passengers entering the station.
In the southern part of the imperial capital near the Protoss Royal Magic Academy, there were more young figures in the prosperous commercial district every weekend.
In the high-rise coffee shop of the shopping mall building, the sound of coffee beans being ground came out, accompanied by the sweet aroma of caramel. Inside the house, frost flowers formed on the window glass. The clerk in a black apron carefully wiped it off with a towel. Many customers were already sitting on dark brown high chairs, holding freshly brewed hot coffee in their hands, and white mist was rising.
On one side of the store, a low wooden round table quietly placed two cups of hot drinks and several stacked books.
Two people were sitting on the single sofas on both sides talking, and they seemed to be alone in this noisy environment.
The young man's emerald green eyes were focused, and he pointed to the books on the table from time to time, explaining to the girl simply. Whenever he talked about a key point or answered a question, he would ask the girl for feedback to ensure that she understood it enough.
The girl had long dark hair, and what was special was her dragon horns with a metallic blade-like texture and vertical pupils in her eyes. She was still wearing the uniform of the Protoss Royal School of Magic, listening carefully to the explanation, nodding from time to time, frowning and thinking, and sometimes marking a few strokes on her book.
Although she didn't like this knowledge so much, she always kept her concentration, which was also a respect for the teacher she recognized.
Their communication was not always serious. Sometimes they would put down the book and talk about something light. Zestila would sometimes mention things in school or her own confusion, and Lanqi would share her own experience and give her some advice. There was not only knowledge sharing, but also bits and pieces of life. This way of communication made them look more like friends.
Originally, they agreed that Lanqi would come to the Royal Magic Academy of Protoss to find Zestila on Saturday.
But Lanqi told her that if she stayed at home all day or only moved around near home, she would become a moldy old woman over time. He knew a woman like this, who was very old and still couldn't get married.
Although Zestila didn't have any ideas about life, she didn't want to become a moldy old woman.
Finally, she decided to go out for a walk.
Anyway, there were far more half-demons in the imperial capital than in a small place like Lilom City, and walking on the street was not a big deal.
The key was that Lanqi didn't mind staying with a demon, so she didn't have any objections.
"How is life in the imperial capital?"
Zestila pressed her brows tiredly, and changed the topic when Lanqi put down the book. She was ready to end her study today.
She couldn't listen to the magic engineering and magic genealogy classes at school. She read her own books in class, just to keep company.
She could understand a lot of the demon magic texts that Lanqi taught.
In the upcoming monthly assessment day, although she could copy a lot of Lanqi's answers, if she didn't understand some basic knowledge, she might copy them wrong.
"Not bad, most of the time I don't feel like I'm in a foreign country."
Lanqi also closed the book. He felt that Zestila had probably reached her limit today.
He knew that Zestila's tone of questioning was very similar to Talia's in many cases, and she would turn interrogative sentences into declarative sentences, so he could understand that she was asking questions.
For human classmates in Ikrit Academy who seek his limit breakthrough and power, he will mostly use his original demon teaching method to help them learn quickly. For demon students like Zestira who are already so strict that it makes people feel distressed, he can only use Dean Loren's teaching method of combining education with entertainment, hoping that she can grow up healthily with a combination of work and rest.
"Besides being my tutor, you should be preparing for other jobs."
Seeing that Lanqi began to put away his books, Zestira finally relaxed a little and asked.
She knew that her father gave Lanqi a generous salary, and he could live comfortably even in the imperial capital. This young man had a strange and strong adaptability, and it seemed that he could perfectly integrate into any place within half a day.
But his talent is far more than that, and he will definitely not be content to live a mediocre life.
"Yes, I am studying the judicial examination, and I can try it next month."
Lanqi replied while arranging the books on the table.
"..."
Zestira was silent for a while.
I heard from my father that this young man had studied the latest revised version of the bill on Viscount Francis' ship before he arrived at the coast of the northern continent.
At first, she thought he just had a little understanding of the slightly absurd new revised bill of the empire, but she didn't expect that he really studied it all.
Although most people can only cheat to pass the judicial examination so quickly.
But this young man might just tell her, is it necessary to cheat for such a simple thing?
"It is said that you reported the archbishop of the Resurrection Church under your real name the night before yesterday."
Zestila picked up the coffee, took a sip to her lips, and said slowly.
She only found out about this yesterday after hearing her classmates from Protus Royal Academy of Magic talk about it.
People have been talking about her since yesterday, saying that her entourage did something and confused her.
If he becomes a lawyer and there are more real-name reports like this in the future, I am afraid his reputation in the industry will not be small.
"Zestila, it is our right to use legal means to protect our rights and interests. We can also take the initiative to advocate for justice if we can. Zestila, if you are bullied or threatened at school, don't be afraid. "If you encounter problems, report them. The newly transformed empire is actually at the cusp of the storm. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be slapped with a hat. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will report it."
Lan Qi leaned on the sofa, chatting and teaching Zestila,
"The more powerful a family is, the more enemies it will make. You just open a gap, and even if you do nothing, someone will come to help you deal with your enemies. This is called the right way to help more and the wrong way to help less."
"..."
Zestila didn't dare to answer his words for a while. She felt that "there is a lot of help for a good person, but a lot of help for a bad person" didn't seem to mean this.
And it seems that she can't learn this skill, neither humans nor demons can learn it, only dogs can learn it.
