Chapter 672 Lanqi Was Asked About the Pigeon
The two crossed a street and came to the prosperous commercial area in the center of the Bosen Flower City.
"Meow, this street is so handsome."
The cat boss in Lanqi's hand looked at the grand occasion of the city in the morning and stood up with stars in his eyes.
"Indeed, we will soon reach the Petras Auction House after crossing this street."
Lanqi smiled at the cat boss.
This Crystal Orchid Avenue is located on the central axis connecting the Bojinsen Palace and the New Pilgrimage Gate. It is also known as the Pilgrimage Avenue. It is one of the three prosperous central streets in the southern continent and is also known as the top ten charming pedestrian streets in the southern continent.
It runs across the east-west main road of Parie, the capital of Bosen. It is 1,800 meters long and more than 120 meters wide at its widest point. It starts from Rose Square in the east and ends at Star Square in the west.
The Bosen National Day Parade on August 24th every year is held on this avenue.
"Hundreds of years ago, this was a field full of swamps. Later, it was transformed into a tree-lined avenue by the queen of Bosen at that time."
Lanqi pointed to the open buildings and squares in the distance and said.
Therefore, Crystal Orchid Avenue was called "Queen's Boulevard" in that era.
The evolution of Crystal Orchid Avenue is closely related to the municipal development history of the Flower City of Pariel.
According to the history of Persian, the real beginning was three hundred years ago. In order to expand the vision of the Royal Rose Garden, the royal gardener extended the east-west axis of the garden to the west to the Dot Square, and then the prototype of the avenue was formed.
"Its basic planning is actually very reasonable, which is why it has its current shape. The first section is dominated by natural scenery, with flat park-style lawns on both sides, quiet and peaceful. The last section is a high-end commercial area, where famous brands, clothing stores, and perfume stores in the southern continent are concentrated. It is full of fireworks and elegant."
"How do you know all this?"
She also read the "Modern History of the Persian Kingdom" given by Professor Bo Laao, which wrote about the construction of Crystal Orchid Avenue, but not as detailed as Lanqi.
Compared with what he saw in the book, most of the content is more like what he judged from on-site observations.
"If you go to the North Continent, I will write about the latest municipal planning of Helrom, the capital of the Protoss Empire."
Lanqi smiled mischievously and began his story.
"It seems that you have good connections and are good at it."
Talia's words fell softly in her ears.
Lanqi is not strange in all aspects.
At least she still approves of her painting, and she can paint so beautifully.
"It is said that at five o'clock in the afternoon, if you walk to the park on high ground, you can follow this road without any buildings to watch the charming sunset disappearing on the western horizon."
Lanqi looked at the layered eaves on the other side, and the road terrain that gradually rose in this direction towards the city center.
"Oh."
Talia just answered casually.
It seems that she heard it and it seems that she didn't hear it.
No opinions were given on "want to go" or "don't want to go".
Watching the sunset together, such a suspected ambiguous thing, she would not do it with Lanqi.
Unless it is necessary to go for the purpose of training tacit understanding.
Lanqi squinted and smiled.
It was as if he understood Talia's thoughts.
"Boss Cat, do you want to watch the sunset?"
He lowered his head and touched the cat's head.
"If Tata doesn't want to go, let's go, okay?"
"..."
Talia heard Lanqi's words, and the blood vessels on her forehead trembled slightly.
She knew Lanqi was doing it on purpose.
"Meow!"
Before Boss Cat could answer, it was snatched from Lanqi's hand by Talia.
"Boss Cat, come with me."
Talia's words were as cold and hard as steel.
Lanqi looked at her with empty hands in astonishment.
It was as if he was asking her if she couldn't afford to play.
"You guys are pulling and pulling, don't pull me, meow."
Boss Cat sighed helplessly.
The two people and the cat chatted from time to time.
Sometimes they quarreled.
They came to the intersection.
The towering sycamore tree stood, and its leaves shone in the morning light, like emeralds inlaid on the street.
The sun was already high at this moment, and the sky showed a soft light blue.
During the brief moment of waiting for the traffic light.
Lanqi found that Talia's eyes were looking across the street.
He was a little confused, and he also looked in the direction of Talia's eyes.
He looked back and forth across the street and at her face twice before he was sure what she was looking at.
Across the street, a wealthy man in elegant clothes walked slowly through the window displaying goods from high-end fashion to exquisite jewelry. His slow steps were like a carefully choreographed dance.
Behind him, the demons in simple but clean clothes followed respectfully, carefully holding several ornate shopping boxes in their hands, keeping their balance and following behind.
Although the shopping bags were heavy, the demons had no complaints, only respect.
The bracelet on the demons' hands was a symbol of their subordination.
Lanqi looked at Talia again and found that she had moved her eyes away, no longer staring at this scene that made her feel that things were different.
"Actually, this is not special in Flora Pariel."
Lanqi looked at the traffic light and said to Talia beside him.
As an international metropolis, Flora Pariel also faces challenges common to modern cities, such as immigrant integration.
"I know."
She is well aware that times have changed.
She had accepted this fact many times before coming to Posen Kingdom.
The work contract was fine, but if she saw the demons becoming slaves to humans, she would feel a little uncomfortable.
But there is nothing to complain about, because demons who sign slave contracts are either atoneing for their sins or selling their time and labor in exchange for a lot of money for some reason.
In the Posen Kingdom, most contracts are fair.
The signal light changed, and the two walked forward with the little black cat.
"What's wrong? Tata, do you also want me to help you win a championship? Like Duke Milaya?"
Lan Qi seemed to have read her thoughts and looked at her with a smile.
Although the basic purposes are different, Miss Ifatia likes to watch the fun, while Thalia likes to give freedom to the demons, but as long as the goal is achieved, a demon with potential can be released. After he has a net worth, no matter how much money , there will be powerful people willing to redeem themselves for the championship and sign a more equal business contract.
"I'm not the kind of woman who needs a man to please me. No matter how you please me, I won't smile at you more."
Thalia looked at him and answered calmly and slightly indifferently.
On the one hand, we should seek truth from facts.
On the other hand, she couldn't bear to see Lan Qi test her with the smell of tea.
"Yes, you are obviously very happy when I feed you, but you don't smile..."
Lan Qi shook his head.
Before he finished speaking, he didn't dare to say anything anymore, because Tata was already looking at him.
"I'm really curious about something."
Thalia frowned and looked at him for a while, then finally asked.
She wasn't angry this time.
I don’t want to argue with him anymore.
She was just suddenly really curious.
"you say."
Lan Qi replied with relief.
"Why didn't you provoke me wantonly when I first met you?"
Thalia stared at him, as if this question had troubled her many times recently,
"I think based on your personality, you should have said something that I couldn't bear from then on. On the contrary, you seemed to have foreseen my danger and changed your mind to get familiar with me slowly."
After she finished speaking, her eyes still stayed on Lan Qi's face.
"Meow."
Boss Cat is also very curious.
After following Lan Qi for so long, it has discovered that Lan Qi's love-seeking character is destined to make alcohol like poison to Lan Qi, but he will become addicted to it.
To Lanci, Thalia was also something similar to alcohol, which would make him delirious, dangerous and addictive, and he obviously couldn't resist it.
It's hard to tell whether he treated Thalia as a cure for his alcohol addiction, or whether he regarded Thalia as his new drink and a necessity in life.
"Maybe it's because I happened to break into the temple of the goddess of fate that day. The goddess of fate gave me a dream and foresaw how to approach you?"
Lan Qi thought about it for a while and met her gaze calmly.
Hans said that whenever he drank too much, he had no memory at all. The day before he met Tata, he accidentally broke into the Church of the Goddess of Destiny led by Nan Wantina, and accidentally knocked a stone from the statue of the goddess. The gems caused a lot of trouble for the priests.
Fortunately, the noble and benevolent priests did not care about his fault, saying that this was a kind of fate.
The divinity of the Goddess of Destiny that the priests believe is that as long as people pray to the Goddess of Destiny, she has the power to slightly interfere with destiny. The more pious and long the prayers are, the more voices of the heart will be transmitted to her. Go there and never speak nonsense about the oaths made to each god. Regardless of whether these gods still exist and whether they can interfere in the world, it may cause cause and effect.
Therefore, according to legend, there is a protective stone called Samsara Baoyu.
It may be any stone related to the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. As long as it is used as a medium, the gods can weakly interfere with the world from the conceptual side.
The reincarnation gem is a gift from a destined person. If you pray sincerely to the goddess of fate, she may let you have a beautiful dream, maybe by chance, maybe it is an old dream from the past.
But this kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious after all, and cannot be proved, so it is regarded more as legends and fairy tales.
According to Hyperion's ideas.
She felt that she was Miss Witch in her previous life, and Lan Qi was the Son of the Sun in her previous life. Of course, it was possible that they would be reincarnated in other worlds two lives ago and experience a wonderful intermediate life. Everything was a gift from the goddess of fate.
so.
It is possible that it was that time when he accidentally touched the sacred stone of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny that he received many revelations from the Goddess of Destiny and gave him some information that was enough to change the future.
Of course, what exactly all this looks like is not important to a person like him who does not believe in reincarnation.
He only thinks that the Son of the Sun is a flower similar to himself tens of thousands of years ago. They have no direct connection, and the same is true for Miss Witch and Hyperion.
The essence of reincarnation is the repetition of history, the continuous annihilation and rebirth of the world.
Similar people and stories will always appear after a long time.
If you believe it, you have it; if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it.
What you think - that's what it is.
"..."
Thalia was silent for a long time after hearing this.
"Is that so... No wonder you can know the disappearance of Duke Milaya like a prophet."
She listened to Lan Qi's heart and said to herself.
Hyperion and Lanqi had already shared information about Duke Milaya and the Vampires with her.
She was sure that Lan Qi didn't lie to them.
At the same time, Lan Qi’s secret has not been explored.
Prophets, diviners, and future visions are not strange in this world, but few living beings possess them.
[Destiny] is the realm of gods that cannot be touched by living beings, while [divination] is the ultimate realm that living beings gifted by God can reach.
If the great divination-based demons like Pranai could grow for several hundred more years, maybe the demons would not have lost in the first place.
If you get it from the goddess of destiny, everything can be explained.
"How do you do it, knowing so many secrets but being so indifferent to their deeper secrets? If Hyperion were you, she would probably think about it all day long and be so confused that she couldn't sleep."
Thalia asked again.
She could hear Lan Qi's inner thoughts, and she could also see the fragments of stories recorded in [Kaliela's Shadow Weaving Record].
"I don't have much interest in theology or history. I prefer philosophy, aesthetics, and ethics. The only thing that matters is the present. The past and the future are not worth delving into for me."
he explained with a smile.
"..."
Although this guy doesn't believe in God, he does act like a magician sometimes. This kind of thing is often called a pyramid scheme leader or a cult leader.
His condition was at its worst when he just came back from the Northern Continent.
Now there are gradually signs of improvement, and he is becoming a bit like a human again.
"Have you ever thought about going to the Church of the Goddess of Destiny again and asking for a real reincarnation jade?"
Thalia suggested,
"Let's see what our old dreams were like."
She spoke in an almost silent manner, like a whisper in the light morning mist, soft and elusive.
If it was the goddess of fate who guided them both together, then they might have a special fate.
Her fate with Lan Qi is not necessarily worse than that between Hyperion and Lan Qi.
"I don't believe in the goddess of destiny. I don't pray sincerely like Hyperion, so I feel that if I go to the temple with other purposes, it will be in vain."
Lan Qi spread his hands indifferently.
"You can just drop by."
Thalia said calmly.
The Parrieux Police Headquarters where they stayed last night was very close to the famous Notre Dame de Parrieux Church.
Near the Church of Our Lady of Parrieux, there are many temples and branches of churches in Huadu.
It stands to reason that the Church of Our Lady of Parrieux is also a place they want to check in.
But it was too late yesterday, so neither of them thought about going.
"We can go to the Church of Our Lady of Parrieu, but you can go to the Temple of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny anywhere. For example, there is actually one in Icerita."
Lanci analyzed.
"What if we could have a sweet dream? Don't you wonder what it would be like?"
Thalia asked.
"Not curious."
Lan Qi shook his head and told her with a calm smile.
"..."
Boss Cat listened to the two people talking.
It feels like Lanci did it on purpose.
The two of them started fighting again.
Tata wanted to go a little bit, but not particularly. She wanted Lan Qi to propose that they go together to seek the amulet from the Church of Destiny. Lan Qi knew that she wanted to go. Unless she directly invited Lan Qi to go with her, Lan Qi just kept pretending to be confused.
In this way, neither Lanqi nor Talia expressed their opinions, leaving the atmosphere stagnant for half a minute.
"Don't you think [Kaliela's Shadow Weaving] also has the feeling of appearing and interweaving old dreams? I always feel that getting a piece of the Talisman of the Goddess of Destiny and adding it to the card making process can also be used as a material."
Thalia finally said.
As long as it is well blended with the formula, adding it will not increase or decrease the success rate, and gemstones related to the goddess of fate always make people feel lucky.
"Well……"
Lan Qi thought for a moment and felt that it did make sense.
"Then let's go to the temple later."
He compromised.
"You two are totally...! You stop pulling every time when you pull at just the right place. You know exactly how much pulling can make the other person's mood subtly subtle without being disappointed or angry!"
Boss Cat finally couldn't bear it anymore and complained.
"Boss Cat, what are you talking about?"
Both of them stared blankly at the sudden outburst of Boss Cat.
"..."
Boss Cat felt that it was over. Both of them seemed to be unconscious.
They have no idea how other people look and feel.
Just know that you are having a good time with each other.
"But I think we might just run away in vain, so don't expect too much."
Lan Qi didn't think he and Thalia would see any dreams similar to those of Son of the Sun and Miss Witch.
In the first three Blood Moon Evil Shadow Worlds, no demons similar to Thalia appeared.
If I must say it, only Mist Lord Orion and True Night Lord Esmode have some shadows of Thalia and the Great Love Poet.
But assuming that these two great demons have descendants, they may not appear until the Son of the Sun dies.
At the end of the third shadow world, the two great demons were still there as brothers.
Lan Qi got a headache after hearing this.
"It's okay. It's enough to understand from you about the Temple of the Goddess of Destiny when we met."
Thalia actually passed by the Temple of the Goddess of Destiny that day, and she did remember that there was some commotion inside, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and left after taking a look at it silently.
The story between her and Lan Qi actually started that day.
"I remember that it was also that day when I lost a Dark Pigeon Familiar. But because I finally encountered an important job and a change in my wandering life, I temporarily put aside searching for its whereabouts. I don't know how it is still doing. OK."
Thalia said to herself.
Now more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past, a year would have been a fleeting moment for her.
"..."
Boss Cat suddenly felt that Lan Qi's expression had changed, and his heart rate suddenly spiked to 180.
He seemed to be trying his best to control his thoughts and not show any abnormality.
"That dark homing pigeon has been with me for many years. Even when I was going through the most difficult time without eating for several days, I never thought about taking action against it."
Thalia continued to tell stories about her past, with a look full of memories.
"..."
Lan Qi began to sweat profusely on his forehead.
"Why are you sweating so much?"
Thalia noticed that Ranchi had been quiet for a long time without speaking to her.
"It's really hot in the morning in Huadu-Parieux. I don't feel it when I'm sitting at home. I only feel the temperature when I go out and walk around."
Lan Qi took off his thin coat, put it on his hands and said with a smile.
"oh."
Thalia nodded.
She took out a handkerchief from her small shoulder bag, lifted it up slightly, and then handed it to Lan Qi.
It was unclear whether she wanted to help Lan Qi wipe her sweat, or whether she just wanted to lend her handkerchief to Lan Qi from the beginning.
"Thanks."
Lanci accepted Thalia's handkerchief.
"What if, I mean if, the pigeon has been killed and you catch the murderer?"
he asked.
"hehe."
Thalia clasped her fingers;
"I will treat the murderer as he treated my pigeons..."
Her words were so cold that they seemed to lower the surrounding temperature, making people shudder.
"Ahaha, that's so scary. Oh, by the way, the dessert shop across the street looks good. Let's go buy two ice creams."
Lan Qi didn't dare to mention it anymore as if his throat was blocked, and quickly changed the topic with a dry smile.
"Which one?"
Thalia's eyes were instantly drawn to the direction Lanqi was pointing.
The two began to chat intently again.
"Meow."
Boss Cat looked up at Lan Qi in confusion.
Teacher Dalan, why are your hands shaking?
If this pigeon is really related to you, then sooner or later you will have to send it.
