Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 488 Lan Qi’s return journey begins

  Northern Continent, early May.

  At noon on Sunday, in the heart of the city of Herrom, a building stood. Its smooth glass surface reflected the light from the sky, like a giant tower leading to the sky.

  This building not only surpasses the surrounding buildings in height, but also becomes the most eye-catching part of the city skyline due to its luxury and unique design.

  At this moment, Lan Qi has reached the highest floor of the building.

  He stood in front of the only door on this level.

  The mood seems a bit subtle.

  It wasn't until a while later that he put Boss Cat in his arms on the crook of his left arm, freed his right hand and rang the doorbell.

  "Come in."

  Sigrid's soft voice came from inside the door.

  Not because her voice was quiet, but because she was clearly far away from the door.

  Although cold and distant, it is still so familiar.

  "Is Sigrid angry, meow?"

  Boss Cat raised his paw to pick up Lan Qi and asked in a low voice.

  "Who knows."

  Lan Qi took out the keychain from his pocket and found one of the keys that had never been used. This was the spare key that Sigrid had given him long ago.

  The key was inserted into the keyhole and the slight click sound made when turning was particularly clear in this silent corridor.

  "Meow."

  Boss Cat didn’t know how the two went on their date yesterday.

  But with Sigrid's attitude, it guessed that the two of them would probably break up on bad terms in the end.

  At first, when the three of them were in the snowy field, they heard West Germany saying that he would not let Lan Qi go. He thought that Lan Qi would fake his death and escape.

  I didn't expect Lan Qi to be so upright. He really didn't lie to West Germany from beginning to end. Even if West Germany gave him a week's chance to run away, he wouldn't run away either.

  The door slowly opened, revealing a spacious and bright entrance.

  The furnishings here are very exquisite and luxurious, from carefully selected artworks to custom-made furniture, everything is unique.

  Carefully selected paintings hang on the walls, which are not only a reflection of craftsmanship but also a symbol of Sigrid's taste.

  Lan Qi walked into the living room, his footsteps almost silent on the soft carpet.

  The lighting in the room was warm and soft, and the air was filled with a light aroma, which was Sigrid's favorite aromatherapy.

  Although I haven't been here many times, it wasn't until I got to know Sigrid that I realized that everything here seemed very familiar.

  After walking for a long time, Lan Qi finally arrived at the collection hall where Sigrid was.

  This is where the two of them first met.

  Of course that time he was forcibly captured by Sigrid.

  In the distance, Sigrid stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the scenery of Helrom.

  Now she finally got her wish and became the legitimate overlord of the Protos Empire.

  But recently, the reason for happiness seems to be related to this matter but not related to it.

  She turned around, her eyes as clear and deep as ever, hiding countless memories and emotions.

  You don’t need too many words to communicate with Lan Qi, the eye contact is enough to convey each other’s thoughts.

  "I've come to fulfill my promise."

  Lan Qi said.

  After finishing this painting for Sigrid today, he will return to the Southern Continent temporarily.

  Sigrid didn't respond.

  I just walked slowly to the main seat of the library.

  She sat down on her own and stared at Lan Qi.

  "Range Wilford, is that your real name?"

  Sigrid asked.

  She actually guessed that Rocky McCarthy was not his real name very early on.

  She was also able to ask him his real name early on, and she was confident that he would tell the truth.

  But she had been waiting for him to confess.

  "Well, the leader of Nanwantina of Hutton Kingdom is now living in the royal capital of Icerita."

  Lan Qi hugged the little black cat and nodded in recognition.

  "Aren't you afraid that I will go to the Southern Continent to find the Hutton Kingdom, and then find you?"

  Sigrid asked, observing him and the little black cat with interest.

  She remembered that when she first brought Lan Qi here to meet him, Lan Qi still looked calm, but his shadow had begun to waver. Then the little black cat with fried fur jumped out and curled up under Lan Qi. In Qi's hands, he is always afraid that she will dominate the Catholic Church and find out Lan Qi's information.

  Now that Lan Qi's background in the Southern Continent has been exposed, the little black cat still seems indifferent.

  "I'll always welcome you."

  Lan Qi showed a frank smile,

  "The royal capital of Icerita is a very nice city, very suitable for dating."

  He added.

  "What do you want to express?" Sigrid was stunned for half a second, then narrowed her eyes and stared at Lan Qi.

  She didn't expect Lan Qi to say this out of the blue.

  "I just want to introduce you to Icerita."

  Lan Qi looked at Sigrid with a natural expression.

  "I think you just want to hold my hand and go on a date again, so you can be more straightforward."

  Sigrid crossed her arms and sneered.

  She looked like she was joking, but also half-serious.

  "Meow meow? Meow meow meow!"

  Boss Cat raised his head and looked back and forth between Lanci and Sigrid.

  This ungrateful boy actually held hands with West Germany yesterday?

  And Tata is still eating!

  "In Ikerita, we can all use our original appearance without having to worry about being surrounded by a bunch of reporters and people when we walk on the road."

  Lan Qi thought for a moment and replied.

  The corners of Sigrid's mouth curved slightly, but she quickly suppressed it and returned to her coldness.

  He still didn't deny the date.

  "Now it's just the two of us and the little black cat. Show me your true face, otherwise it won't be fair."

  Sigrid leaned back on her seat and looked at Lanqi.

  Lan Qi just looked at her and smiled, turning around so that she could clearly see his black hair and green eyes.

  "..."

  Sigrid opened her eyes and was silent for a long time, unable to say anything.

  She instantly understood what the Holy Son meant.

  "Okay, it's quite satisfactory."

  she commented.

  "Yesterday's date was quite satisfactory to me. This is for you."

  As Sigrid spoke, she took out a thin and compact stone relief plate from her pocket, and its special brilliance instantly illuminated the entire collection.

  The stone was then thrown to Lan Qi.

  Lan Qi caught it steadily and stared at the divine object in his hand.

  Previously, it was inconvenient for Sigrid to take out this slate to him in the outside world. Now that they were alone, and with Sigrid's family's detection magic isolation and shielding barrier, she could finally give him this trophy.

  [Original Slate-Seal]

  [Category: Equipment Card]

  [Grade: Orange Epic]

  【Class: 5】

  [Passive effect: The original stone slab cannot be destroyed, only living creatures can be soul bound, and up to one piece can be bound. All sealed attribute magic, martial arts, equipment, and summons will be fully strengthened. The tablet will be unbound when the soul-bound person dies. 】

  [Note: Destiny is tightly bound, but the soul can save all things. 】

  On the intricate ancient incantations on the slate, the luster of the Gods is bright and mysterious, directly touching the soul and constantly resonating with the magic power of Lan Qi.

  At this moment, he is not yet at the fifth level and cannot bind to this stone slab.

  However, he is not far from the fifth level, and he will surely become a new user of [Original Slate-Seal] soon.

  "It's time to go back and do business."

  Lankey sighed.

  When the time comes, just write a report and hand in the relevant information of [Fake Slate-Seal].

  "I have a five o'clock ticket. I will take Antanas and the others back to Lilomu City in the southernmost part of the empire, and then take a boat back to the Southern Continent."

  He put the slate away, looked at Sigrid and said.

  "Don't get me wrong, I never agreed to your leaving from the beginning to the end."

  Sigrid did not change her cold attitude today, but her voice changed again,
  "But I haven't slept much in the past few days, and I'm very tired today. If you insist on running, I might not be able to find you."

  Sigrid's purple eyes gradually became hazy, her words became slower and slower, and her voice became softer and softer.

  It seemed that if she hadn't been waiting for Lan Qi, she would have fallen asleep long ago.

  Of course, she got sleepier because of Ranchi's presence.

  Once you finish explaining things and relax your mind, the fatigue in your brain will hit you like a tide.

  "Good afternoon, Sigrid."

  Lan Qi said softly with understanding, also saying goodbye.

  From the previous interactions, Sigrid had already formed a conditioned reflex, and she wanted to take a nap when she was next to Lan Qi.

  Hegemonic Catholics want to save face and will not change what they have said.

  It's just a little bit possible to put some water on the Holy Son of Tyrant as appropriate.

  "By the way, there is an interview program on the Herrom Broadcasting Company today. They are probably scheduled to visit my collection in the afternoon, so don't think about it perfunctory, otherwise you, Principal Rocky McCarthy, will definitely stay. Just a joke, haha..."

  As she spoke, Sigrid closed her heavy eyelids, and the high-backed chair provided her with enough support that she began to relax her body unconsciously, until finally only the sound of slight breathing was left.
