Don't confiscate my citizenship

 Chapter 737 Rumors about Lan Qi spread in the city

 “Hey, cats can talk?”

Elsa lowered her head in surprise and looked at the little black cat in her arms.

“Of course, don’t you see what level of elf cat I am!”

 The cat boss raised his head proudly and said.

　　　…”

Lanqi pressed the door frame with one hand and just looked at it with pity without saying anything.

That gentle look in his eyes seemed to be telling it—

You'd better stop humiliating yourself.

 “Meow meow, I don’t want to care about you anymore!”

The cat boss huddled up into a ball of black coal and whimpered full of resentment.

 Cats are good, people are bad!

 “Elsa, is there anything else you want to say?”

Lanchi looked at Elsa's face and asked gently.

 From the first time he saw Elsa, he felt that Elsa was hesitant.

“Brother, I heard that you are now very close to the Imperial Special Operations Department, and have become their honorary advisor, and are even favored by Duke Dax. Is this true?”

Elsa hesitated for a moment, with a hint of worry in her purple eyes, and finally spoke.

Although she wanted to talk to her brother more about her physical changes, she felt that she couldn't say it, and she didn't want to cause trouble to her busy brother. Instead, she expressed her long-standing concern for him.

 “Yes, this is a rare opportunity for me to contribute to the Empire.”

Lanchi graciously admitted that,

"What's the matter, Elsa? You don't seem to agree."

He bent his back slightly to be eye level with Elsa, making sure not to put pressure on her.

“Brother, I know you have always wanted to serve the empire, but the Special Operations Department... is not a simple place there after all. I am just worried that you will be involved in some dangerous things.”

Elsa sighed softly and said what was in her heart.

 “I know what’s appropriate and will not put myself in danger.”

Lanci replied firmly, looking at Elsa unwaveringly, as if telling her that she had something that she must complete.

“Brother, I trust your judgment.”

Elsa pursed her lips,

“But you must take care of yourself and tell me if you have anything, okay?”

 “Okay, I promise you.”

 Lanchi nodded solemnly.

“Anyway, just remember not to go to those gray areas in Brilda that are not fully covered by city defense barriers.”

 Lanqi reminded the people standing outside the door.

Whether it is a large kingdom or an empire, once the streets in the core towns enter combat mode, security warnings and suppression will be triggered. Most powerful and destructive combat magic cannot be used, and the scope of use of life magic is wider.

 Only in some special areas, high-level magic can be used extensively, such as in the building of the Holy Silver Vine Arena in the Posen Kingdom, and in jurisdiction-free areas such as the edge of the Posen Demon Realm.

The capital Brilda also has such an area.

 Divided into legal combat zones and gray zones.

For example, the Midnight Parliament has been frequently circulated among the citizens of Brilda recently, the Mist Watcher has always been an urban legend, the Dawn Order is responsible for maintaining the order of the pantheon, and the news media company that controls the most authoritative channel in Brilda The Voice of Truth Group, the established forces Moat Port Brílda Mafia, etc., either have licenses for legal combat areas, or they occupy a gray area.

 Compared with public information, you can see more real-time intelligence in the group chat of the mysterious organization where Landry belongs. Among them, the one with the most frequent activities recently is undoubtedly the Brilliant Mafia.

It is an organization with a long history and is the largest criminal organization in Brilda, controlling most of the city's underground activities.

Their main activities include smuggling, black market trading, assassinations and other illegal activities. There is a strict hierarchy and rules within the organization, and members are very particular about loyalty and discipline. The mafia headquarters is located in a large warehouse block at the port of the Brilda River. It is not only their office but also their base for conducting various secret activities.

 They have a large amount of resources and advanced magical equipment to support their various criminal activities.

They themselves are doing a lot of business, and at the same time, the nobles of Brilda sometimes ask for their help and need their kind of disciplined existence. Now that the external war has begun, the military police of the Capital Garrison Headquarters have no time to go. Leave them alone.

Even Chief Nikolay the Kestrel of the Imperial Special Operations Division will not deliberately seek trouble with the Brilda Mafia unless necessary. This can be regarded as a rule, whether it is the Imperial Special Operations Division or the Bureau. The Lilda Mafia, as long as they don't do anything that affects the other party's bottom line, no one wants to fight to the death with anyone.

“Don’t worry, brother, I will only operate in absolutely safe urban areas.”

Elsa agreed.

 She understands what her brother is thinking.

Professor Landry has now become a high-profile magic engineer in Brilda City because of his academic achievements. Many people are watching him. Some are interested in his talent, some are greedy for profit, and some are malicious and simple. Want to erase him.

Fortunately, my brother is very strong. He not only solved the danger on the Blilda Magic Train, but also successfully assisted the Imperial Special Operations Office in solving a major enemy lurker case. He was praised by Duke Dax not long ago. .

 At the sixth level, he has sufficient self-protection ability, and is also protected by the double protection of St. Creation Monastery and the Imperial Special Operations Department.

 But at the second level, she has undoubtedly become a weak point.

 “I’ll give you a few more magic cards here.”

 Lan Qi thought about it for a while, and still thought it would be better to give Elsa some powerful protection magic cards.

His own few original magic cards were not suitable for display, and his identity as a member of the Kingdom could easily be discovered. However, after coming to the Empire, he also purchased some high-performance magic cards on various high-end exchanges.

“Don’t worry about me, Principal Violet once secretly gave me a life-saving magic.”

Elsa understood her brother's worries, smiled slightly, and unsuspectingly took out her magic cards and jewelry and showed them to Lan Qi.

 “You are a priest with all life-saving magic?”

Lanqi took the magic cards and looked at them without politeness, then raised his head and asked Elsa.

There is actually a pink sacred jewelry [Mirror of the Moon Goddess] among them, which must be the life-saving magic given to Elsa by Principal Violet.

Each of these magic instruments and ancient relics related to the moon **** are treasures that are difficult to copy.

  Secondly, Elsa also brings invisibility and acceleration magic.

"Principal Violet said that my healing power can be specialized at night, so don't worry about it being insufficient. My physical fitness is also much stronger than that of ordinary magicians, so increasing the magic power will cause the healing power to overflow. I might as well just be more frank." , so that the front row doesn’t have to worry about me during team battles.”

Elsa replied.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

Lanqi returned the card to her and smiled with relief.

He also taught Hyperion this way, and finally succeeded in turning Hyperion from a squishy magic thorn into an evasion tank.

 “Brother, what are you laughing at?”

Elsa noticed her brother's expression and asked in confusion.

 “You remind me of a runaway beauty.”

Lanqi glanced at the north relaxedly and said to himself.

　　　…”

Elsa looked at her brother's expression and thought for a moment.

 “Is she your fiancée?”

 She asked questions curiously and tentatively.     "Ahem, this..."

Lan Qi didn't know how to answer for a while. He retracted his hand holding the door frame and changed his posture several times.

He did say that he would pick up his fiancée to come to Brilda recently, but Elsa's thinking was too divergent, and she didn't even know that there was Thalia here, and how fatal this question would be if asked in front of her.

 “Lan Qi, tell me.”

At the same time, Thalia's voice also rang in his mind. Her words seemed to be soft, but she also seemed to bite hard.

Although she knew that Lan Qi and Hyperion might be in love to some extent, she couldn't imagine a future scene in which Hyperion was attracted by Lan Qi.

If Lanqi and Hyperion were just having a healthy and good relationship, then she would definitely support it, but if the two of them were to fast forward to the stage of talking about marriage, Thalia felt that it was too early.

If this process really cannot be stopped, she needs to help Xiubao first test whether this man can become a qualified husband.

 “What can I say?”

Lan Qi asked her in her heart.

He felt that Talia's mind was completely confused for a moment.

 “Aren’t you also incoherent?”

Thalia asked him back.

"How can we talk about the love between children when the country is in crisis? Even if there is a girl I like in my heart, I will not reveal it. I will face everything calmly until the mission is over!"

Lan Qi responded confidently.

　　　…”

Thalia suddenly fell silent.

 She didn’t know who the girl Lan Qi said he liked.

 But in a literal sense, she is the only girl who lives in Lan Qi's heart.

Her mood seemed to be even more confused, but she pretended to be asleep unusually and stopped communicating with Lan Qi.

Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

 Personal feelings are secondary to the fate of the country, and Tata is obviously very sensible.

He seemed to be too relaxed, because the chat with Elsa itself was not stressful, so he didn't want to be too wary of this child.

But Elsa is completely careless, and she just gives the proposition when she speaks casually. I can't act too casually in front of her in the future.

“After all, brother, you have always been very popular, and you are very popular here in the capital. Everyone says that you must have more than one fiancée, so don’t be shy. No matter how many you marry, I will support you.”

Elsa couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Lan Qi was at a loss and a little panicked.

 “Who preached this?”

Lan Qi's eyes widened before he could completely relax.

 He had a bad premonition in his heart.

As we all know, some words tend to change as they are passed around.

 At first, in an interview, he said that he would pick up his fiancée from Nickasassend on the northwest border to fulfill Duke Dax's instructions.

But he definitely never said that fiancée has a plural form!

"this…"

Elsa became hesitant and seemed unable to speak.

“Tell me, what is the version you heard?”

Lan Qi asked seriously, understanding the seriousness of the matter.

"They... they said that your relationship with several women from Nickasassend on the northwest border has been very ambiguous from beginning to end. It seems that you have finally suspended your engagement with them when you came to the capital Brilda. In fact, you have also been with each of them. Keep in touch with all your fiancées. With the limitation of geographical distance and multi-threaded love, you not only fall in love with each fiancée, but you can also coax them all to their heart's content with your sweet words. You can be called a "Love Saint", but the limit is Operations often come with risks. Next time we meet, either you will win them over, or they will win over you.”

Elsa hesitated for a moment, hugged the cat tightly, and replied.

 The news spread among the students in St. Creation's monastery.

Just because my brother is always dealing with the outside world and focused on official duties, he doesn't realize that he has become the focus of gossip.

 “This is nothing! Is there any truth in this rumor?!”

Lan Qi’s mentality exploded.

He just felt that this was outrageous. If this was spread back to the Posen Kingdom, Nigel would probably be unable to hold his nerve.

He is a magic engineer who devotes himself to academics, why does he need so much gossip?

 The rumors are really terrible.

 “Meow, you finally live like him...”

 The cat boss released the spherical mode and looked at Lan Qi speechlessly.

 Lanqizi, you also have today.

 You can only ask God too much, and you may be counterattacked.

"Ah."

Lan Qi looked at Boss Cat and laughed hard.

Dean Loren was deeply involved in the public controversy. In the final analysis, it was because the rumors were half true, so he couldn't clean himself up.

 But he is different.

 No matter how many fiancées come to him, his expression will not change.

Elsa looked at the way her brother and the little black cat were quarreling with their eyes, and her worries eased a little. Her brother was more energetic than she thought, and there was a lively cat to accompany him. It seemed that she didn't have to worry about her brother being lonely. .

“Then I’ll take my leave first, and I’ll bring back the black bread later.”

Elsa hugged the cat and bowed slightly to thank her.

Maybe they don't need to be so polite to each other, but since they haven't seen each other for several years, she always subconsciously feels that her brother is a bit strange.

 “Have fun with Ursula.”

Lanchi waved.

He watched Elsa say goodbye and leave.

 The autumn wind blew by, rolling up the corners of Elsa's clothes, and her back gradually disappeared into the shadow of the golden trees, leaving Lan Qi standing alone at the door.

“Lan Qi, don’t forget that you are from the kingdom. Although Elsa is a good girl, you are not the real Landry. Strictly speaking, she is from our enemy country.”

Talia seemed to sense that Lan Qi couldn't bear to tell Elsa the truth about Landry's death in the future, so she changed her words to comfort her.

This boy is sometimes extremely decisive, and sometimes he has some compassion that he shouldn't have. Even she knows that she should be as far away from Elsa as possible, instead of taking care of her mood and playing the role of a competent brother.

“I don’t think I can save everyone, but even so, I want to save everyone I can.”

Lan Qi leaned against the door frame again, looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
