Chapter 328: Lanqi Wilford's Escape Plan
Ten days later, late March in the Protoss Empire.
Frost and snow were floating all over the sky, and the vast snowfield stretched to the horizon, blending with the gray and white sky. All the original contours on the snow were covered by thick snow.
Hundreds of kilometers outside the city-state of Bandera, which is close to the northern border province front, there is still no one living there, only barren snowfields.
The further north you go, the more common abnormally severe weather becomes. It is common to be unable to travel for two or three days due to bad weather, and the scattered snowy city-states and towns are becoming fewer and fewer.
Under the vast white snow, a sled suddenly appeared on the hillside, cutting through the frost and snow on the ground, and starting a white storm.
"Woohoo, take off!"
"Faster, faster!"
"Meow meow meow! You two drive slower, don't fall off the cliff!"
The sudden laughter and childish screams were particularly clear in the wind and snow.
The two people sitting on the sled could not hide the excitement on their faces even though the air was filled with the smell of coldness and a pungent smell of frost.
I saw Lanqi and Sid sitting on a sled, and a big black fox in front was pulling the sled wildly. Golden flames were burning on the tips of its ears, and snowflakes were flying under its powerful footsteps. Every step was deeply imprinted in the snow, leaving behind golden light and shadows of varying shades.
The cat boss was pulling at Lanqi's clothes tightly.
It can be seen that Lanqi and Sid are really having fun! If it was Tata who was with Lanqi at this time, she would definitely ask Lanqi to drive slower with a stern face, and if it was Hugh Bao, she would probably tactfully remind Lanqi to pay attention to safety on the snowfield. Only Sid would only ask Lanqi to drive faster.
"Meow! Stop driving so fast!"
Boss Cat knew that he could no longer keep an eye on Lanqi, but he still screamed desperately.
"What? Not fast enough?"
Lanqi lowered his head in the howling snow and wind and asked the cat boss in his arms.
He immediately lowered his body, shook the reins of the sled, and signaled the big fox to run faster.
“Meow!!”
Boss Cat opened his mouth again and swallowed a mouthful of snow.
Only after the sled sped down the hill and gradually leveled off on the snow did the car body, painted crimson, slow down again, still standing out against the snow.
"Haha, even if I fall, I won't get hurt anyway. As for him... doesn't he have a wind-attribute wheelchair?"
Sid laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She turned her head to look at the little black cat on Lanqi's lap and said.
She knew that Lanqi had a lot of strange equipment and magic cards.
Considering the secrecy of the investigation of the final destination, the two changed their identities and appearances again after leaving the Snowfield Province.
They did not continue to use the identity of Loki and Sid's Protoss Royal School of Magic, but changed themselves to magic craftsmen and merchants in the Snowfield Province, wanting to do business in the northern border province.
This will prevent them from being tracked on their return journey after any investigation has uncovered anything.
However, Lanqi did have an excessive number of unused high-level purple magic cards in a sealed state, making him more like a magic card merchant than a magic card merchant. The advantage of sealing is that it is easy to identify its effect when it is ownerless.
However, it was hard for Sid to describe the quality of these cards. Most of them were waste magic cards used for decomposition, of all kinds. They did not look like the cards for the little black cat. Even Sid did not understand why he carried so many useless cards.
She only knew that these magic cards were almost all obtained by Ranch in the imperial capital by using his connections before leaving, and that Miss Duchess Chloris helped a lot. She didn't know what kind of deal they had reached that led her to pay Ranch such a large sum of money in advance.
“Meow…”
The cat boss sobbed and did not respond, and it turned into a crying cat head again.
It doesn't want to be with these two people anymore.
"If we can dig up some big news this time and expose it, the reputation of the empire will be greatly increased."
Lanqi slowed down the sled, loosened the reins with one hand, hugged the cat boss, and said with certainty.
The sled continued to move forward, its runners rubbing against the thick snow, making a rattling sound, and the snow marks stirred up at the back stretched out like a long tail.
Despite the howling wind, the two people on the sled didn't care and still enjoyed the feeling of being pushed on their backs.
According to the map, there should be a plain ahead, with no more rugged mountain roads and lakes. Driving at high speed, they should be able to reach their investigation destination, Bandera City on the northern border, soon.
"Didn't the investigation team led by Major General Fan Leiku go there first? He would probably be the first to discover any problems."
Sid replied nonchalantly.
"Not necessarily. If there is an eighth-level danger in the north, the investigation team may not be enough."
Lanqi pondered. Apart from the secret that Chloris told him, he had promised Chloris not to tell anyone else. For the rest, he still hoped that Sigrid could clearly realize the degree of danger in the northern border province.
"Those who can reach the seventh level are no longer ordinary people. It is easy to defeat them, but it is not so easy to kill them."
Sid spread his hands, as if recalling his strength when he just reached the seventh level.
“…”
Lanqi raised his eyes and looked at Sid, the abnormal human woman.
A fully-conditioned seventh-level monster would be very difficult to fight against even if a group of sixth-level monsters attacked him in a group. However, for the person next to him, he was "very easy to defeat".
Most of the time, Sid gave him the feeling that there was no distance between him and her, and her temper was unexpectedly good, which was completely different from a certain unmarried woman.
But only when talking about other powerful people can one clearly feel from this cognitive bias that all his previous experiences are not in the same dimension as her strength.
"Don't worry, Saint Son, even if you have always been of a low rank, I will not look down on you. I will protect you, and you just need to work hard for me."
Sid grinned, with a bit of childish casualness but also the reliability of a promise made by the Queen.
“…”
Lanqi was silent for a moment.
"If I want to retire one day, will you let me go?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In fact, he had already decided to disappear back to the southern continent when the time came, but he had been chatting with Xide very closely every day recently, and for some reason he felt reluctant to part with his friend Xide.
If possible, he didn't want to be an enemy of the tyrannical Catholic Sigrid in the future.
“…”
Sid hesitated for a moment before he said, "Let's discuss the score."
"for example?"
"If I have a low opinion of you, I will treat it as a betrayal and help you to completely retire."
Sid clenched his fingers grimly.
“…”
Lanqi didn't know whether she was jokingly telling him the consequences of having a low favorability rating, or whether she was really threatening him.
The cat owner who was held by Lanqi felt a chill and trembled with fear. He knew that Lanqi should not have anything to do with this female devil!
There is no way she can part ways with you in peace!
"But to be honest, in most cases, if you want to leave, I don't think I will let you go easily. I have made an exception and chosen you to be the Holy Son, so you naturally have to continue to serve me."
Sid honestly told Lanqi her real answer.
"Understood."
Lanqi nodded. He probably guessed that this would happen.
He looked down at the trembling cat boss and smiled, not nervous at all.
"!"
The cat owner was startled, and immediately understood this nascent idea.
It could probably guess that if Lanci wanted to escape, he would use fake death to create the illusion that "Rocky McCarthy" was dead, so that Sigrid would not even think of tracking him! Then this bastard would transform himself back into the "Lanci Wilford" of the southern continent, and would have nothing to do with Sigrid from then on! But the cat boss was a little scared. If Lanci really did this, would it trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions?
"What if your former saint wants to leave?"
The cat boss swallowed and dared to ask timidly in his childish voice.
Sigrid once lost a saint. If her subordinates had to choose between "leaving" and "dying", Boss Cat didn't know how determined Sigrid would be towards those who betrayed her.
If she is really extreme, then Lanqi will have no choice but to fake his death! Hearing this, Sid was stunned for a moment, as if he had never expected such a situation.
Finally, she smiled helplessly.
"I should let her go and let her live the life she wants."
There was a rare hint of guilt and tenderness in her voice.
“…”
This time neither Ranchi nor the cat boss spoke.
It looked up at Lanci.
It feels that if Lanqi really uses fake death escape at that time, it may evolve into another kind of nascent situation...
