Chapter 311 Lanqi Is Undoubtedly the Old Man Under the Moon

The pale sunlight in the snowy day falls from the gaps in the sky and crisscrosses the wind and snow, like a random smear of winter, giving the icy world a subtle warmth.

The swaying snowflakes dance freely in the air. They float down and fall on the snowy ground, or are blown up by the wind and rotate constantly.

In this wind and snow, the two of them very considerately accompanied Xiaya back to the previous snowfield to pick up the lost luggage.

Xia Ya led the way, and the two of them followed him not far or near.

"Oh, it's so cold."

Lan Qi couldn't help but sigh after walking to the snowy wilderness.

"Isn't it okay with just this temperature?"

Sid looked at him slightly mockingly.

"Why aren't you afraid of the cold? You are obviously a fourth-level person."

"Oh, it's so cold." (Great reading)

Except for the two people's voices from time to time, everything around them seemed extremely peaceful. Even though there was always the "rustling" sound caused by the snowflakes blown up by the wind, this continuous noise was the breathing of this snowfield.

A few minutes later, the three of them finally found the location where Xia Ya had left his suitcase and began to help him pick it up.

There were almost only some clothes, a few books and small magical artifacts, and of course an atlas similar to the one in Lanchisid's hand, which recorded the terrain and environment of the northern part of the Protos Empire.

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

Boxshan Province is an important transportation area.

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

A long distance further north is the Northern Border Province.

They are now in the territory that has just left the Box Mountain Province and arrived in the Snowfield Province.

"Thank you both for causing trouble to you."

Xia Ya greeted the two of them again, feeling even more ashamed of his previous escape.

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

Lan Qi raised his hand slightly and said.

"..."

Xia Ya felt for a moment that she should bow deeper.

And he couldn't help but think deeply, are all the seniors at Protoss Royal Academy of Magic so friendly?

He originally heard that the battles in that college were extremely fierce and people were cold and heartless. Could it be that times have changed?

Confused, Xia Ya thought for a moment, raised his head, carried the box, and exhaled a breath of white mist like a sigh.

"Two seniors, if you are doing elective subjects, 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 of Herrom."

He advised heartily and stepped forward,

"Perhaps it's just my personal judgment. Not only are there open and covert fights among the city-states that are relatively close to each other in the north, but the security of the province is extremely poor. The investigation team that came to the Imperial Capital Herrom a few days ago seemed to be just to investigate the relationship with the city-states farther north. related turmoil."

These two people must have gone all the way from the imperial capital to the north. They did not stay in the north for a few days like him at first hoping that traffic would be restored.

"How's it going further north?"

Lan Qi also heard the Imperial Army Captain tell him about this at the Rock Junction Train Station in the Box Mountain Province before, but the Captain obviously didn't know the specific situation.

"Maybe only the lords of a few city-states in the Snowfield Province know about it, but even if we ignore this matter, the north is getting more and more dangerous."

Xia shook his head and walked steadily with Lanchisid to the north in the direction of Kingston City.

"In addition to the increase in the number of refugees, the crime rate is also rising sharply. Many people who cannot get relief in the city-state have actively or been forced to join the criminal organization in the north, Spectre. Those gangsters just now should be part of Spectre. personnel."

When Lan Qi heard this, his steps were steady, but he was deep in thought.

He remembered that the corpses of the gangsters all had octopus-shaped crests or rings, which were probably the Spectre's tokens.

"Why are they so rampant?"

Lan Qi asked in the wind and snow behind.

"The Imperial Army has no spare power to specifically annihilate them, and several lords in the Snowfield Province are also in disagreement. They can't agree on the distribution of efforts, and they have no intention of improving external security."

Xia also felt helpless. After coming to the north in person, he was finally convinced that the security in the south of the empire was much better.

"That's it."

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

Now it is equivalent to a mess that no one wants to take care of. It is fairest to suffer together.

The main northern force of the Nirvana branch is with the Imperial Army in the Northwest Province. If they want to help the nobles of the Snowfield Province suppress bandits, they may be able to gain a lot of reputation for Nirvana Bishop Asksan, but this will undoubtedly be a difficult task. It is a thankless job. The nobles will delegate the work to the priests of Annihilation. Even if it succeeds in the short term, it will cost many high priests. The high priests are not willing to do this.

Asksan is said to be guarding the Northern Border Province and confronting the northern countries. His specific whereabouts cannot be determined due to the slow flow of information.

"You must be from the south, why do you want to come to the north?"

When they helped Xia Ya pick up his luggage, Lan Qi and Xi De were able to determine where he was from, and they could tell even by looking at his clothes. It looked like many southern winter coats were stacked on top of each other. .

"Although I am the eldest son of the southern earl's family in name, I am actually poor and destitute... I am here to marry into the Qinston family. I don't know what kind of person my fiancée is, but it is said that she is quite outstanding. It is easy for her to skip the preparatory course and enter the school directly..."

Char lowered his head and stammered, looking very embarrassed, telling the two of them his true situation.

Lanqi and Cid looked at each other and understood immediately.

The family has a title, but no money, so it is not bad to marry into a border noble family with some strength.

"Aren't you worried that you will not be used to life after coming to the north? Or that the nobles in the north treat you badly?"

Cid asked rarely.

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

Char seemed to recall something, and his expression became a little relieved.

He had no prejudice against the nobles in the north, and even had a relatively good impression. In other words, there are good people and bad people everywhere, and we should not generalize.

Perhaps it was after that that he subtly became what he is now, not wanting to let his family fall like his father.

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

Lan Qi added suddenly.

"How do you know her name?"

Xia Ya was stunned, found Huadian, and looked back at Lan Qi.

"Of course I know the name of every student in the Protoss Royal School of Magic, including qualified students who have not yet enrolled."

Lan Qi explained seriously.

"..."

Who in the school would remember the information of all students?

There is always a kind of scary feeling.

It's like he will catch any mistakes made in school.

"I don't know. Ten years have passed. Now I don't remember what the girl looks like. I only remember that she has bright orange-red long hair. Now she must have become a smart lady."

Xia Ya could only shake his head to answer.

Lan Qi nodded and said nothing.

"To be honest, I quite like to witness the love stories of boys and girls."

Cid sighed as he walked.

"Really? Do you know that what I'm best at is helping people get married?"

Lan Qi suddenly became excited, and even his voice was much more excited, as if he couldn't wait to show off his skills to Cid.

If you say this, he won't be sleepy anymore.

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

Lan Qi immediately proposed to Xia Ya.

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

Xia Ya was surprised at first, and then his expression fell again.

This is a very generous deal.

Indeed, the two of them look very extraordinary.

Standing next to him, it's hard to tell who is the young master and the young lady.

But he has no money.

"You can buy on credit, and then transfer the money to my and her accounts in the imperial capital."

Lan Qi glanced at Cid.

Cid shrugged lightly, obviously no objection, she is now a fourth-level, so the hiring fee can be based on the fourth level.

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

The look in the emerald eyes was like telling the other person that he would believe you, and you also wanted to believe him.

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

"..."

Listening to Lanqi's plan.

The cat boss in the shadow felt a chill.

The opportunity to meet Lanqi was to hear him say that he was good at helping others to make friends.

However, the result...

It recalled Loren crying in the chair, and because it believed in Lanqi, it failed to save the noble high priest, so that it didn't dare to go to Ikrit Academy later, fearing that it would meet the high priest and be mistaken for Lanqi's accomplice.

Now, Lanqi thinks he is a love master again.

Stop it, you bastard! !

Don't pollute the love comedy of young people, meow!
