Don't confiscate my citizenship

 Chapter 742 The encounter between Lan Qi and the mafia leader

 “It’s bad.”

Lanci looked at the Viscount Carmel in his hand, slapped his forehead, and suddenly seemed to remember something.

 “What should I do...”

He frowned slightly and said to himself.

"What's wrong?"

Thalia was shocked, wondering what big problem they had overlooked.

Since following Lan Qi, she hasn't used her brain much. She doesn't even have to worry about bringing her keys with her when going out. Lan Qi will help her arrange everything.

“It’s too urgent to go out, I should bring a 28-inch trolley suitcase.”

Lanchi explained to Thalia.

“…Why do you need a trolley case?”

Thalia thought back in confusion.

“A twenty-eight-inch trolley suitcase can just fit an adult male in.”

Lanchi looked at Viscount Carmel and gave Talia some information.

 This makes it easier to take the goods back.

　　　…”

Thalia thought that if this wasn't in the Empire, she would have called the police.

But now she had to focus on completely knocking this vampire out without using too high a strength of magic power, to the point where he wouldn't be able to wake up for several days if he didn't take the initiative to wake him up, so she didn't bother to say anything to Lan Qi.

The vampire is more solid than Xiaoqiang and cannot be killed no matter what. It is difficult for an ordinary sixth-level creature to defeat this undead creature.

 The clouds and mist in the sky sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, covering the moon and then releasing it, while the wind in the dark alley sweeps across like cutting through the air.

 In autumn, the days are shorter and the nights are longer, and the nights become deeper without realizing it.

 The vision was as dim as if it had been painted with ink, and it was impossible to see clearly ahead.

But at this moment, in the Brilda Mafia container area, the girl with black hair and purple eyes holding a cat is no longer as panicked as before, she calmed down.

Ursula followed Professor Landry and walked to Elsa's side.

 “Elsa, it’s okay.”

Lanqi looked at Elsa and comforted her.

 “Uuuu, brother, I’m so worried that you can’t beat him.”

Elsa's pressure seemed to be suddenly released, and she began to sob, throwing her head up and crying loudly.

 She thought she almost killed her brother.

"Very good."

Ursula’s eyes were filled with joy and a hint of loneliness at the same time. She could only look away and sigh.

 Seeing Elsa's brother and sister get along with each other, and thinking of her brother, she felt her heart throbbing.

She didn't know what she had done wrong to make her brother hate her from the bottom of her heart. She only knew that both friendship and family ties would change over time. Once they were alienated, they could never be restored.

 “It doesn’t matter, I’m the strongest.”

Lanchi told Elsa confidently.

His current character is Loren, the great priest disguised as Professor Landry, so it doesn’t matter if Loren is a little crazy.

According to Loren's characteristic of getting stronger as he fights, he should look like he is the only one in the world, so that it seems more in line with the character.

　　　…”

Thalia felt that Ranchi had already somewhat changed the character of Loren when she played Loren in Huadu Parrieux.

Although the 1798 version of Loren played by Lanci is indeed more domineering on the imperial journey, she always believes that Loren himself should not be like this.

It's a pity that Loren himself can't give any advice now, so he can only let Lanqi play his role in the Creation Empire.

Behind Lan Qi, Ursula looked at Lan Qi who was motionless.

 She glanced at Lan Qi several times, as if urging him.

"What's wrong?"

Lanchi naturally noticed Ursula’s gaze.

“Don’t you think my brother can go over and touch his sister’s head at this time?”

Ursula asked him speechlessly.

She heard Elsa say that Landry became distant.

His sense of responsibility is genuine, but he will not get close to anyone easily. Even his sister Elsa seems to be separated from him by a wall, as if he is not his biological child.

This guy is not a straight man, is he?

“It’s not okay to touch the head or the back of a student of the opposite sex. That would become sexual harassment, but I can listen to her and comfort her mentally. This is the teacher’s code.”

Lanchi smiled and explained to Ursula beside him.

 “You are really professional. You even treat your own sister equally.”

Ursula's expression seemed to be sarcastic at him, but also seemed to be amused by Lan Qi.

“Of course, you are all my students at St. Creation’s Monastery, and I will not be partial to anyone.”

Lan Qi nodded.

　　…Then you are pretty good.”

Ursula paused and whispered.

“Of course, the school I worked at previously received 100% positive reviews from students in the survey.”

Lanci replied proudly.

 He stopped chatting with Elsa and Ursula, and turned his attention again to the Viscount Carmel he was holding in his hand.

Thalia is relying on him now, using his body to exert spiritual magic on Viscount Carmel.

 In this short period of time, Viscount Carmel should be almost cured.

 “Then why can you touch me casually?”

Thalia asked through her heart with a thoughtful look, her thoughts still stuck on Lan Qi's previous sentence.

She did find that Lan Qi would not touch other people, but last time in Posen Kingdom, she and Lan Qi held hands while competing with each other, and later she felt that he had adapted.

“Pfft, Master, do you think you are considered a student just by wearing a short skirt and student uniform in Icerite?”

Lan Qi couldn't hold it back this time and laughed directly.

“I don’t even think about how old you are. I would be fine if I didn’t sue you for sexual harassment...wrong!”

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately arrested by Thalia.

Thalia grabbed his heart with her cold, invisible hands.

“I will never wear that short skirt again in my life, and don’t mention it again.”

 She released Lan Qi's heart angrily.

The week when she worked with Lanqi at Ichiko College every day, she was numb when she thought of it now. Fortunately, she did not meet an acquaintance.

Thoughts return to reality.

"Tell me, what is going on? Why are you, a good student of St. Creation's Monastery, being targeted by the vampires?"

Lanchi waited for Thalia to break Viscount Carmel's nerves, and at the same time looked at Elsa and asked.

 He can probably be sure that Elsa is a human with atavistic wolf blood, otherwise she would not have this characteristic that is enhanced at night.

Even if the wolf clan and the vampire clan are mortal enemies, Elsa probably has never provoked the vampire clan. Her characteristics are more like those of humans. It is difficult to see the difference between her and humans. Even she may not understand her wolf clan bloodline.

 How was this discovered by the vampires?

 “Yes, maybe...”

Elsa blew her nose, looked sideways, and hesitated.

 She didn’t want to involve her brother.

"It's our family's banquet that day, there's nothing uncertain about it." Ursula said simply for her, spreading her hands.

 Everything originated from a banquet held by their Roland family, and Elsa didn't quite understand the meaning of her own gift of magic at that time, so she easily activated her sin-judging eye and saw something very strange about the guests at the banquet.

Ursula felt quite guilty because of this. She felt that all the dangers Elsa encountered tonight were probably because she dragged Elsa to the banquet.

"At that time, I heard from my brother that he would investigate. If there were dangerous people who got into our family's banquet that night, he would definitely bring them to justice. I thought it was no big deal."

Ursula briefly told Lanqi the cause and effect.

Now that I think about it carefully, the dangerous accident that should be taken so seriously is just like a little farce in my brother's eyes.

 Brother’s judgment is obviously very wrong.

Even, it’s like, the brother is hiding and protecting the vampire.

 She didn't want to think about it anymore.

“Your brother, Marquis Ryan of the Amethyst Seat of the Ninth Army God, can you not detect a person who sneaked into the banquet?”

Lanci looked at Ursula doubtfully and asked her.

　　　…”

Ursula lowered her head and bit her lip.

 She couldn't answer Professor Landry's question, where every word weighed heavily.

If the truth is really a trivial accident, then the explanation given by Marquis Ryan is naturally correct.

But the current results are very clear. The "person" who appeared at the Roland family banquet that day and was seen by Elsa's Judgment Eye was almost a vampire.

"It's my responsibility. After learning what Elsa told me, I told my brother without thinking. The danger she was in was directly related to our Roland family."

Ursula lowered her head and answered with difficulty.

 She rarely admits her mistakes.

 Professor Landry probably no longer believes her, and regards her and her Roland family as enemies. He may not even allow her to contact Elsa anymore, but she will not hide anything.

"Have you ever felt that your brother's temperament began to change drastically in a short period of time in the past two years?"

After listening to this, Lan Qi's expression remained calm and he held his chin while analyzing.

  “!”

Ursula raised her head suddenly.

She grabbed Lan Qi's coat and stared at him, her green eyes filled with surprise and a thousand unspeakable words.

 “You, do you know the reason?”

Ursula didn't understand why the professor still looked at her with trust, and she didn't understand why he knew about her brother.

 “Let’s get out of here first and go back to school.”

Lanchi nodded seriously and said to Ursula.

He felt that Viscount Carmel would be completely subdued in a while. Next, they would take Viscount Carmel secretly through the city and then bring him back to St. Creation's monastery. They had to be absolutely sure.

Ursula nodded vigorously.

 She was nervous.

 Originally she thought he was just an ordinary professor, but now she is more and more convinced that this professor is full of secrets.

 The night was so thick that it couldn't be melted away, and the wind was still blowing in the alley.

The wind suddenly became louder and blew the hair of several people.

“Do you think this is your home? Come and leave whenever you want?”

Suddenly, a voice appeared at the entrance of the alley without warning, like a ghost whispering in the dark night.

Elsa and Ursula suddenly looked around in shock.

 Until they followed Professor Landry's gaze.

Only then can we find the end of the distant alley, and I don’t know when there are people there.

The man stood quietly on the spot, his coat fluttering slightly in the wind, almost blending in with the surrounding darkness.

The moonlight shone on him, turning him into a cold and clear silhouette.

In the darkness, only those pale blue eyes were particularly bright, like two clusters of cold ice flames burning in the darkness.

 “Sorry, we didn’t mean to offend!”

Lan Qi probably guessed that the owner of this site was here, and apologized in that direction.

 A fight here would do them no good.

 The battles at the seventh level are completely different from the battles at the sixth level.

 The worst case scenario may be that the movement is too loud and attracts the attention of the powerful imperial troops in the capital.

　　　…”

The other party did not reply.

Just walking slowly, the sound of metal friction reached the ears of the three of them.

That was the soft sound of various knives on his waist, and the cold light loomed in the darkness.

 Slowly, the shadow finally faded away from him.

The visitor had short dark gray hair, and his blue eyes were slightly turbid under his sword-like eyebrows. They were no longer as clear as a young man, and his face looked less than thirty years old.

He wore a pure black windbreaker robe, tied with a brown leather waistband, a black shirt and vest, with dark red patterns on the cuffs and hem.

 He seems to be able to ignore the terrain and pass through any obstacles.

 “Barton Hall…”

Ursula immediately thought of this dangerous man in Brílda—

 Leader of the Brilda Mafia.

In Brilda, he is the underground emperor of Brilda who makes smugglers fearful and the police avoid them.

In that black cloak and coat, I'm afraid they are all specially made magical vibrating knives.

“Professor, he is very strong! He used to be an imperial colonel. After leaving the army, he became a mafia and became the leader along the way..."

Before she could finish her words, the figure of Mafia leader Barton had already magnified infinitely in Ursula’s eyes.

 In the next frame of her perspective, Barton was already close at hand, and even his movements were silent and forward.

His hand came towards the Viscount of Carmel held by Lan Qi, but was blocked by Lan Qi's other hand.

"Colonel Patton, can you please be convenient? We did not kill your people. My sister was also involved in space magic. We had no intention of breaking in."

Lanci said politely.

　　… “…don’t call me colonel.”

Barton's eyes moved from the Vampire Viscount to Lan Qi's hand blocking him, and then to Lan Qi's face. His eyes were as sharp as a blade, with a chilling coldness and a determination to win, as if he could see through people's hearts and peel them off. Let go of all pretense.

 He did not use all his strength.

 Because he would not accidentally injure two little girls and a kitten.

The young man who captured the vampire didn't seem to have any clear hostility towards him.

 “Are you from St. Clare’s College?”

Barton's eyes paused on Lanqi's face for a while, and he seemed to finally discover why this man called him colonel.

Professor Landry, you can just see a photo of him being commended by the Imperial Special Operations Division in the Empire’s newspaper today——

Under the administrative building of the Imperial Special Operations, several special service officers cordially received young imperial professors in gray coats. They made no secret of their overwhelming power and bureaucratic aura.

This professor at St. Creation's Monastery, since he belongs to the Empire's Special Operations Division, can also be regarded as a military personnel, so he can naturally understand some of the military's past.

"Leave this **** Viscount here, I won't make things difficult for you, you can go."

Mafia leader Barton put his hand back into his dark cloak and said to them.
