Chapter 229: Hyperion thanks Lanci with tears in her eyes
The street outside Ikerit College is relatively quiet, with some small shops and cafes open on both sides.
At this time of day on weekday mornings, the lights in the store appear soft against the sky, ready to welcome lunchtime customers. Occasionally, one or two shop assistants can be seen wiping the glass or arranging the shelves in the store, preparing for the day that is just beginning.
Hyperion and Talia walked slowly, leisurely soaking up the winter tranquility.
"By the way, Lanqi's father, Mr. Noe, has now returned to the Nanwantina border. Tata, you are also from Nanwantina, right? Can we go back together next time?"
Hyperion said.
Tata went back early that day and was unable to follow Ranchi to see his father after the game.
Mr. Noe said that the game was unforgettable for him, and the thing he regretted most in his life was buying a ticket to the royal capital for Lanqi.
But what has happened has come to this, so let it be.
Noe hopes that Hyperion can go to the border with Lanci during the holidays. He is very optimistic about Hyperion, a girl who is both good in character and study, has a strong moral conscience, and is the same age as Lanci.
“…”
Although Talia is not from Nanwantina, the identity information that Lanqi had previously obtained for her did show that she was registered in that border region.
However, Talia had a very good impression of the Nanwantina border territory. Her decades of wandering career began to turn around in the Nanwantina territory, and everything after that became like a dream.
Hans, the butler, and Francine, the maid in the Lanci family, were also very kind to her. She hadn't seen them for a long time.
"Let's go back together next time. I'll take you to visit Nanwantina. There's something else that I'm curious about..."
Talking and talking.
Talia seemed to be in deep thought.
"What?"
Hyperion asked curiously.
"Didn't you say Lanqi was good at drawing?"
Talia could also see this by observing Lanqi making cards.
"Yes, he seems to be a bit ridiculous in this area, but I have never seen him seriously paint."
Hyperion nodded.
"When Hans, the station steward at Nanwantina, saw us off, he said that Lanqi had once painted a picture and it was a pity that I couldn't see it... I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of painting it was."
Talia murmured.
Kolanchi also said that it was a portrait of a poor and poor old lady.
She didn't think there was anything good about it.
As they chatted, they turned a corner into a wide avenue in the center of Ikerite. The environment became a little more lively. There was a flower shop with a variety of colorful winter flowers displayed in the window. The music played in the cafe floated out softly, mixing with the cold air, filling the air with a warm and melodious feeling.
Finally, they crossed two streets and arrived at their residence, Boss Cat Restaurant.
Passing through the familiar corridor under the chandelier and the vintage wooden staircase reflecting warm yellow light, they soon arrived at the door of the room at the end of the second floor.
What comes into view is the exquisite attic made of wooden boards and diagonal beams, with a glass skylight that lets in bright light and a scent of sweet fruit wine.
However, what was unusual was that in the middle of this spacious living room, Lanqi was sitting at the table, holding the magic carving knife and hot stamping modification tool firmly in his hands, as if he was concentrating on carving a piece of art.
On the table, there is a magic card with smooth lines and emitting pink light.
"Lanqi."
Hyperion greeted him with a smile.
This month, Hyperion got used to living here. Sometimes during the day, Lanqi would come to Tata's house to study card making with Tata.
It has been exam week in recent days, and the student union has no business to attend to, so Lanqi has disappeared.
He was focused on a big project and spent a lot of time locked in the card-making workshop in his dormitory.
Today she finally saw Lanqi again.
Lanqi did not take the exam and came to Tata's house early in the morning. Tata had to go pick up Hyperion and left Lanqi alone at home.
"I'm back."
Lanqi noticed their arrival and stood up to look at them.
"Um."
Talia simply responded softly and placed two boxes of cakes and snacks on the table. "I've already eaten at the store at Ikerit College. These are for the two of you."
Lanqi hesitated for a moment after hearing this.
"Tata, if you want to eat it, you should eat this piece."
Lanqi noticed that after Talia finished speaking, her eyes were still on the cake.
Her stomach was insatiable. If she hadn't had the body management awareness of an unmarried woman, these two pieces of cake probably wouldn't have lasted this long.
“…”
Talia turned and stared at Lanci.
Lanqi lowered his head obediently and stopped talking.
He picked up the small disposable knife attached to the edge of the box and quietly cut one third of the cake.
Hyperion smiled helplessly, understood Lanqi's actions, went to the cabinet next to her, took out a small plate and fork, cut one-third of her cake, and put it on the plate.
"Tata, let's eat together."
Hyperion handed Tata a small plate with two thirds of cake on it.
“…”
Talia took the plate silently.
After a slight hesitation, she began to eat with a blank expression.
She thinks that human beings have a very strange way of thinking and would engage in such useless sharing.
But for some reason, she unexpectedly felt that this two-thirds of the cake was a little more delicious than the whole piece she had eaten at school.
"By the way, Lanqi, what were you doing just now?"
Hyperion sat next to Lanci and looked at the card that Lanci was fiddling with on the table.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was just a sealed card that had not been bound by anyone.
"This is a masterpiece that Tata has successfully created these days. I just finished preparing the wolf this morning, so I had time to come to Tata's house to get another card. However, the name of this card is a bit inappropriate, so I just modified it slightly."
He handed the card to Hyperion.
【Elegant shape】
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
[Attribute: Alchemy/Poison]
[Level: 4]
[Effect: Only used on the target touched, modify their hairstyle, remove their hair, change their color, harden or soften them slightly.]
[Note: This hairstyle doesn't suit you. I'll help you change it.]
“…”
Although Hyperion didn't know what Ka's original name was.
But she thought it might be better not to change it.
“Don’t tamper with my card.”
Talia said with a frown on her face.
She went to pick up Hyperion and took her home, only to find that the card name and remarks had been changed by Lanqi.
But she didn't say much, and now her tolerance for Lanqi had unconsciously increased.
Anyway, this spell card, which was obtained from the Purgatory Corridor Academy, belongs to Ranch according to the transaction agreement. He has already paid the information of the Shadow World Record Program as part of the transaction.
"Huprienne, this card is for you."
Lanci placed this [Elegant Style] in front of Hyperion.
He was just waiting for Hyperion to come back.
In combat he rarely touches his enemies, nor does he want them to touch him.
This card is best used by Hyperion who has immunity to death, shield, and invisibility.
Not only can she use it when she is hurt, but she can also actively turn on invisibility and secretly help others change their hairstyle.
"No, no, no, that's not necessary."
Hyperion was startled when she heard this, she put down her fork and waved her hands.
She didn't dare to take this card with full taunt power! The combination of mute and kneel was not as strong as using this card to change someone's hair style to a Mediterranean style...
Once it is used, others will never stop until the interpreter of the law is killed.
This card is essentially similar to suicide cards like [Spark of Destruction].
"Huprienne, this trip to the Northern Continent is just the two of us. If you become stronger, I will become stronger. Our fighting power is now bound together."
Lanqi looked at her sincerely and pushed the card half a centimeter closer to her.
“…”
Hyperion stared at the card in silence for several seconds, tears almost falling from her eyes. She felt like Ranch was sentencing her to death.
"All right."
Hyperion could only accept the hair transformation with tears in her eyes.
She felt that she had already met her end.
