Chapter 312 No one knows love better than Lanqi

That afternoon.

The sky is a blend of ice blue and light colors, rendering the sky like a cracked glass screen. The soft and slightly cold natural light is reflected by the snow in this pure white world and becomes extremely blurred.

Three figures braved the wind and snow, and finally saw the outline of a city-state at the end of the snowfield.

"Xia Ya, you are worthy of being the heir of the assassin family. You are also a professional as a scout. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find Kingston City before dark."

Lanci grinned and praised Char.

Char lowered his head in embarrassment.

He hadn't heard such sincere praise in a long time.

Normally when people mention his family they are making fun of him.

But this person is different.

"You didn't mention me at all, but it seemed like I was always there."

Sid muttered to himself.

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Lanqi stroked his cheek which was slightly numb from the frost, looked at Sid with confusion and asked.

"Nothing. Sometimes the favorability is deducted directly, and there is no need to bring a reminder service."

Amid the wind and snow and the voices of men and women, they gradually arrived at the gate of the city-state.

On the vast snowfield, the ground is covered with endless white snow. The biting cold wind blows from time to time, rolling up the snowflakes, like fine icing sugar dancing in the air.

This is the southern border of Kingston City. The city walls are tall, made of metal and long-frozen soil. They are like a steel canyon in the snowfield, blocking the cold wind and all dangers from the outside world.

The gate of the city-state is made of thick steel and wood from the demon world, with the edges decorated with cold iron and engraved with the totem and magic symbols of Kingston City. On the inside of the barrier, two rows of guards are holding weapons and wearing armor, and the orange-red feathers on their helmets flutter gently in the cold wind.

The guards' attention was immediately attracted by the approach of the three people and turned to the distant snowfield.

The three of them slowed down and crossed the last section of endless snow. They took out their identity certificates in advance and walked to the city gate. They handed them to the captain of the knights who headed the military guards through the passage that was briefly opened across the barrier.

After a careful inspection, the Knight Captain looked directly at Char.

"Lord Xia Candice, welcome to our Kingston City. Please come in and wait for a while with your friends. I will contact the Lord's Mansion for you."

The knight captain discovered that Lanci and Cid's identities were students from the Protoss Royal School of Magic from the imperial capital Helrom. It was difficult to speculate too much about their relationship with Char, so he treated them as Char's accompanying friends.

The city gate slowly opened, the iron chains and wooden beams made a dull sound, the hustle and bustle of the city instantly filled their ears, and the scene gradually appeared before their eyes.

There was no longer an endless field of snow. In the distance, on the bluestone-paved streets, pedestrians could be seen walking from time to time. Smoke rose from the houses, as well as the aroma of dinner being prepared. It seemed that there were children playing with snowball fights.

What follows is a period of waiting.

They didn't have to wait too long at the entrance of the city-state before a welcoming carriage rushed to an open square not far from them and stopped.

A middle-aged man in a classic black suit with golden patterns embroidered on his cuffs and collar came over. He held a wax-sealed letter in his hand. He walked steadily but quickly in front of the three people.

"Mr. Xia, there are two distinguished guests. I am the butler of the lord's mansion."

He bowed slightly, his voice full of respect,

"Lord Viscount Leven Kingston has learned of your arrival and sent me to receive you."

He extended his hand to signal the three to follow him. In the distance, there was an exquisite carriage engraved with the Kingston family crest. The body of the carriage was covered with crimson satin, and the windows were blocked with thin embroidered curtains. The butler opened the door of the carriage, revealing animal skin cushions and exquisitely carved wooden armrests.

“Please get in the car.”

The butler smiled slightly, with a moderate and steady smile that served important people.

The three of them looked at each other and followed the butler into the carriage.

Before the carriage started.

"Excuse me, is Viscount Leven Kingston busy with something important?"

Sid asked the butler.

"Yes, the Viscount and his lady were supposed to welcome Master Xia, but there are other distinguished guests in the mansion now, so they can't leave for the time being. They can only send me to take you back first. I'm very sorry."

The butler apologized.

Sid nodded.

It seems that the Viscount did not mean to treat Char lightly.

According to the aristocratic etiquette of the Protoss Empire, even if the engaged Earl Son Char arrived at an unscheduled time due to transportation problems, he should be received personally by Viscount Levin Kingston or his lady.

A rumbling sound passed by.

The wheels of the carriage left deep ruts in the thick snow, and despite the cold wind, the interior of the carriage was very warm.

The three of them leaned on the cushions. Char looked a little reserved, but Lanci and Sid were quite at ease.

For a moment, it was a little hard to tell who was the young master.

Looking at the flax-haired young man who was nervous, gentle but with a hint of weakness, Lanqi patted the shoulder of Char who was sitting opposite him.

"Stand up straight. Miss Lilith Kingston would probably prefer a stronger boy."

"But... I'm here to marry into the Kingston family. They probably hope that their son-in-law is a more obedient person."

"Lilith Kingston's combat profession is an assassin, and her performance in the exam is recorded as being quite fierce in the admission report. As a descendant of a famous assassin family in the empire, you will definitely get along well with her."

Lanci has already started guiding Char.

Xia looked at Lanqi, confusion written all over his face.

How do you know everything?

"But I'm probably more inclined to civilian work now... If I were to work for their family's Chamber of Commerce, I might be of some use. Although I have learned all the family skills, I haven't used them much in actual combat..."

Char said unconfidently.

“I see.”

Lanqi rubbed his chin and began to think.

"Meow meow meow! Don't listen to him!"

An angry voice came from underground, accompanied by a black shadow. The little black cat jumped onto the seat and climbed onto Lanqi's shoulder, and said to Char who was standing beside him,

"The love between a boy and a girl requires a delicate and natural process. If this guy intervenes, the warm story will all turn into a weird shadow world that he has ruined! Love does not require violent overtaking and strong welding!"

It accused Lanqi indignantly, and was so angry that it kept roaring and couldn't catch its breath for a long time.

"Oh, little black cat, you finally came out."

Sid looked over Lanqi's shoulder with some interest.

The next second, the cat boss seemed to shrink, and he moved around to Lanqi's other shoulder, a little further away from Sid, trembling.

Char looked at the elf cat in surprise.

Even this cat is better than him.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It's actually close to the fourth level! "...Do you think I'm only at the third level, meow?"

The cat boss seemed to see what Char was thinking and asked while staring at him sternly.

They all knew telekinetic magic in the Elvish language, and they felt a sense of familiarity with each other.

"Could it be... that you are actually level 4?"

Char asked in disbelief.

“…”

Boss Cat was silent for a while and chose to avoid the topic. It was better not to humiliate himself. "Young man, just approach Miss Lilith naturally. If you are destined to be together, you will eventually fall in love with each other. Don't listen to his love advice. This guy doesn't know what love is, and his love is even more problematic!"

It persuaded Xia earnestly.

"Well……"

Char looked at the little black cat, then at Lanqi.

For a moment I didn't know who to believe.

They are all very sincere and they really want to do good for you. There is no doubt about that and you can even see it from their eyes.

As a result, Xia fell into great confusion and could not make a judgment.

The three of them and the cat stayed quiet for a while.

"But I think what McCarthy said makes sense. For example, I would also prefer boys who are stronger than me."

Sid thought about it and expressed her own opinion as a woman.

She didn't know why the little black cat would belittle Lanqi's relationship guidance like that, there was nothing wrong with it.

“…”

Lanqi looked at Sid with pity.

Another one who can't get married.

"What did you mean by looking at me just now?"

Sid asked.

She had now discovered that her Son would not normally say anything impolite.

But he often wrote everything in his subtle expressions, which was a kind of contempt at the highest level.

"Deduct your favorability points. If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext."

There was a helpless smile on Lanqi's face, as if he had looked down upon everything.

“…”

Sid smiled and shook his head, not telling Lanqi how much favorability would be deducted.

Aside.

"Nyan, so Char, do you really want to listen to this green tea girl teach you about love?"

The cat boss looked at Char and asked.

"But doesn't Mr. Lodge get along well with Miss Syd?"

Xia asked the cat boss in confusion.

He felt that Senior Rocky was not a bad boy at all, but a kind and gentle young man.

"Meow?"

The cat boss tilted his head. Lanqi and Ba Jiaotong? Do they get along well? It has always felt that these two people are not compatible in terms of status, strength, age or personality.

But when Char said this...

It also found that there was an unexpected sense of rationality in the way these two people got along.

etc.

If the genders of Lanqi and Sigrid were swapped.

What green tea girl and domineering president!

There is still one chapter left to be coded. I estimate that it will be finished around eleven o'clock.
