Chapter 493: Lanqi's House Is About to Be Robbed
The iconic area of the capital, Ikrit Magic Academy, is located in the center. There are no walls around the school. This area and all the buildings in it are called Ikrit Magic Academy.
Even if you just pass by from a distance, you can see the school emblem of Ikrit Academy and the conspicuous tower in the nearby buildings. Going east for two streets, you will arrive at the old shop Cat Boss Restaurant.
Although this building is made of slightly rustic brown wood, the roof is gently curved, and the eaves extend widely beyond the wall, forming a comfortable open balcony, suitable for relaxing, talking and even enjoying an afternoon meal.
Hyperion led them to get off the car in an orderly manner, carrying the luggage, and the bell rang in the distance.
That was the bell coming from the red brick bell tower of Ikrit Academy. It only rang three times and then only a leisurely echo remained, indicating that it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
The warm afternoon sun lazily sprinkled on the roof of the small restaurant. The air was filled with the light smoke from cooking and the aroma of lunch. The taste of pastries and cheese intertwined, like the fragrance of flowers on a country path, which was refreshing.
"We are back."
Huparian took the lead and pushed open the door. The wind chimes hidden under the eaves swayed gently, making pleasant bells, adding a bit of tranquility and comfort to this afternoon.
The wooden door closed gently behind them with a soft click.
The light sprinkled on the floor through the window. The interior of the restaurant was elegantly decorated. There were a few retro photos and dolls hanging on the wall. The air was filled with a faint aroma of coffee and the warm smell of baked goods.
At this time, the cat boss did not have many customers. Behind the counter, there stood a young woman. Her long hair was simply tied up. She was wearing the restaurant's work clothes. She looked both professional and friendly.
Asna, who was working in the Student Union of Ikrit College in the morning, noticed the new guests in the store. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then turned into a joyful smile.
"Boss Cat, you are back."
Athna came out of the kitchen with a smile.
She has started to use the magic of clones, watching the front desk while working in the kitchen.
Although a little tired, she finally felt that the three years of study in the Sage Academy of Ikrit College came in handy.
"Sister, I'm sorry we came back late. The work of the student union must be very busy."
Hupriyan bowed her head and apologized to their vice president Asna guiltily.
She and Lanqi came back nearly a month later than expected. This semester is almost over, and Asna not only has work in the student union, but also serves as the host girl and chef here.
"No, the remaining influence you left is still on campus, and the work of the student union is going very smoothly."
Athna smiled and took Hyperion's hand and replied.
"..."
Hupriyan didn't know how to evaluate this "remaining influence".
"Is Tata resting today?"
Boss Cat jumped onto the counter and looked around the store curiously, but didn't see Tata.
It felt that Antanas seemed to be more nervous because he hadn't seen Tata for a long time.
"Miss Tata, she just took a leave these few days and said she would go back to Nanwantina Territory."
Athina replied.
"That's a pity, meow."
The cat boss shook his head.
Originally, he wanted to give Tata a surprise and let her meet the three childhood friends.
Now it seems that he can only wait until she comes back and push the door to find the surprise.
"By the way, why did Tata go back to Nanwantina Territory?"
Huparian asked confusedly.
She remembered that Lanqi's hometown was Nanwantina Border Territory.
In the past, Hyperion thought that Tata was Lanqi's fellow villager in Nanwantina Border Territory. Later, when she went to the North Continent, she found out that Tata's true identity was actually a demon princess from the North Continent, who met Lanqi in Nanwantina Territory.
"Well, she seemed to say that she wanted to see Lanqi's paintings."
Athina thought about it, looked at Lanqi confusedly, and said.
Ranchi: “?!”
“Ranchi’s painting?”
Hupriyan frowned and recalled.
It seemed to be winter. Hyperion remembered that Tata did say that she was curious about a painting called “Poor and Poor Old Lady” in Ranchi’s house and wanted to go back and take a look.
Unexpectedly, Tata, who had not been out for years, had already started to act alone.
“Ranchi, speaking of the painting in your house…”
Hupriyan turned her head and looked at Ranchi. Just as she was about to speak, she stopped talking.
She found that Ranchi had not said anything since just now.
She saw that Ranchi’s forehead began to sweat and his expression was stiff.
“Ranchi, Ranchi…”
Hupriyan had never seen Ranchi like this.
“Senior Asna, when did Tata leave?”
Ranchi came back to his senses and asked.
“She has been away for four or five days, but she is not in a hurry to go back. She plans to travel along the southern city-states and head to the southernmost Nanwantina Territory.”
Asna looked back at the calendar behind the counter.
"Something happened at home, I need to go back quickly!"
Lan Qi immediately picked up Boss Cat and ran out.
The stunned people were left standing not far from the counter of Boss Cat's restaurant.
"Three of you, please look after the store. I'll go with him."
After Hyperion realized what was going on, she quickly followed him out, shouting back as she ran.
She didn't know what was going on. It was the first time she saw Lan Qi so panicked, and she was a little scared!
But if her best friend is really going to be in trouble, she won't let Lan Qi face it alone!
"..."
The three great demons looked at each other.
Antanas and Sinora looked at Pranai, and they felt that Pranai might be able to guess what was going on.
Pranay just shook his head.
He is in a mixed mood now.
If it was for Wang's good, he hoped that something had really happened to Wang's family.
But it feels weird.
Now, it may be that people who long for Wang's death hope that the Wang family is fine.
"Huhu."
Asna smiled helplessly and looked at the door, as if she was used to Lanqi and Hyperion running away together unexpectedly. The two were very active in the student union.
After a moment of silence.
"Well, the three of us are newcomers and old friends of Tata. We will come to help Boss Cat manage the restaurant."
Antanas took the lead in greeting Asna warmly.
"My name is Antanas, his name is Pranay, and her name is Shinora. They are brother and sister."
The cat boss had already introduced his disciple Asna to them before coming.
When he was away, Asna was in charge of the restaurant.
"That's great. I was just thinking about how to introduce you to Tata!"
Asna breathed a sigh of relief and held Antanas's hand.
"How is Tata doing lately?"
Antanas hesitated for a moment, and then asked with great concern.
She knew Tata was Thalia's alias.
She was very excited to see Talia, but she was afraid that Talia had suffered too much over the years.
Sinora is also very concerned about this issue. She hopes that Talia will live well, but she cannot accept that Talia has really caught a rich husband.
"She is doing well, don't worry."
Asna smiled softly and asked the three of them to sit down. She brought trays and black tea from the counter and poured them for them. Then she sat beside them and told them how she took good care of Tata's daily life. of.
Tomorrow the story will return to the very beginning, Lan Qiwei!
