Chapter 364: The End of the Journey to the North of Lanqi

The base layer of Rock Junction Station.

Lanqi led silently, holding the handcuffs in his hand, the other end of the handcuffs tightly locked on a woman's slender wrist.

They walked through the secluded staircase, the metal parts of the handcuffs occasionally colliding and making crisp sounds, which were in perfect rhythm with the pace of their steps.

At the end of the passage is a slope leading to the platform level where sunlight shines.

Lanqi narrowed her eyes slightly, while Sid beside her lowered her head slightly, making it difficult to see her eyes at the moment.

The glass curtain wall canopy on the platform cast beams of natural light, which flashed in spots on the ground like scattered gold coins, and were occasionally stepped on by the two people's footsteps.

At this time, there were few passengers waiting on the platform. Some were sitting on the benches looking a little uneasy, while others were standing on the edge of the platform, looking into the distance in the direction of the tracks.

Before the two of them could stop completely, in the distance, the magic rail train at the end of the track had already entered the station with a roar and a series of carriages.

The shining metal texture of the car body and the reflection outside the window complement each other, and the steel seals on each carriage that quickly pass by in front of the eyes are the emblems of the Protoss Empire.

Lanqi and Sid stood in front of the painted line on the ground and waited.

Until the train gradually slowed down and stopped steadily, the door opened, and a faint transparent mist floated out from the inside of the carriage. The residual heat released by the magic energy regulator when working gradually dissipated.

"Get in the car."

Lanqi gave the order in a slightly cold voice.

Next, even without Lanqi using handcuffs to guide Sid, she naturally followed Lanqi's steps and stepped into the carriage.

She was silent and obedient like a puppet. Passengers in the distance dared not even glance over here, and could hardly imagine what the fate of this prisoner girl would be.

The two walked into the special carriage at the end of the magic rail train.

Unlike other carriages in front, this section is designed to be more solid and closed, with unique protection and privacy. The internal space, including the crew members, need to ask for permission before entering.

After entering an interior space in the carriage, the door behind you closed, making a heavy metallic collision sound that echoed in this wide space.

"Huh - off work!"

The two men came to the chairs and sat down, both of them leaning back quite loosely as if they had just finished a tiring journey.

Lanqi didn't want to move at all. He was really tired after working for Asksan for the whole morning.

"When will this be untied?"

Sid raised his right hand, which was resting on the armrest, and pulled up the handcuffs, making a jingling sound.

"We can untie it once the flight attendant brings us lunch. We need to do a good job on the surface."

After all, they were still officers carrying out their duties and escorting prisoners, so they had to pretend to be flawless until they could change to the next train and change their appearance back to normal.

However, having arrived here, I have finally ended my investigation trip in the northern part of the empire and can easily return to the familiar imperial capital of Helrom.

"Oh, it's been a rough road."

Lanqi sighed as if recalling what he had experienced over the past month.

Sid looked at him without comment.

"It's been a rough ride for me, but you obviously didn't get hurt at all."

In the end, she could only roll her eyes at him and look away.

This guy didn't even get his clothes dirty during the trip.

Including the fight against the Ghost Party in the snowfield before, she was the one who killed them one by one with one punch, while Lanqi stood behind them like an overseer and did nothing.

"You said you would protect me."

Lanqi said with a smile as a matter of course.

Sid stared at his face again. He felt that he was a little teary and was about to make a sarcastic remark to him, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

This natural smile seemed to be thanking her - thank you for protecting me so well.

"It's a good thing you're not a girl, otherwise if I took you in as a saint, I would be really teased by you."

Sid spread out his left hand with an expression of admitting defeat.

At first, she actually thought that it would be better if the person she liked was a girl, but now she just felt fortunate that he was not a girl.

"By the way, how good are you at recovering now?"

Lanqi thought about it and asked.

He saw that Sid was no longer as tired as he was on the snowfield, and seemed to be in much better spirits.

"Around level five, I guess that's the limit. The more I recover, the more I can feel the shackles of the sealing power. It's like it's locked me in this state."

Sigrid's expression suddenly became a little serious as she answered.

He had no problem protecting himself in the imperial capital of Helrom, but compared to his original self, he was unimaginably weak.

"But if I can break this seal, I might become stronger than before."

She clenched her fists and muttered to herself.

This is a disaster, but also an experience. Whatever doesn't kill her will make her stronger.

However, looking at Sigrid who was not frustrated at all, Lanqi gave the following evaluation:

"Goodbye."

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

There was a hint of pity in Lanqi's eyes.

She was already too strong to get married, and if she became even stronger, she would be even more unmarriageable.

“…”

Sid bit his lip, his fists shaking with anger.

If the prisoner had not stood up and beaten the Son of Annihilation next to him at this moment, which might have been seen by people on the platform outside the glass window, she would have been tempted to take action.

"The Son."

"Um?"

"If you meet a woman who can read minds in the future, you must run, turn around and run, don't ask anything and don't think about anything."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid I'm the only one in this world who will give in to you like this."

Sid said with a forced smile and gritted teeth.

Even though she had reminded him several times, she always felt that this guy had a kind of unbelieving air. He would either play to the extreme and never fail, or once he failed it would be an epic disaster. She didn't want to go to the crematorium to claim her Son of God.

"Don't worry, even my most ambitious disciple Zestila can't master the top-level mental magic such as mind reading in a few years."

Lan Qi drew a line with his fingers and said with great certainty, "No one knows the talents of the demons better than me."

Compared to humans, demons have a higher chance of drawing this kind of spiritual magic comparable to epic spells through their innate magic. However, in this world today, there are very few pure demons with such talents.

“…”

Sid looked at Lanqi's confident look and said nothing more.

Sigrid had seen the little girl Zestilara on the live projection of the monthly assessment day at the Protoss Royal School of Magic. At that time, Sigrid was in the residence of Gloria, a direct soldier, watching the Son of God lead the students.

Even if Zestira learns mind reading in the future, it will not harm Lanqi because she respects her teacher very much.

But if she ever met an old one, Sigrid didn't dare to think about what would happen.

In the moment of silence between the two, a series of clear announcements rang out in all the carriages, rhythmic and formulaic, heralding the start of the journey.

When the announcement ended, there was a slight tremor in the car, and then the seats began to feel a gentle push.

Lanqi looked through the car window at the outside world.

At first, all changes on the platform were slow. The signboards and benches beside the platform were just sliding slowly, and the sunlight left floating bands of light on the glass windows.

The scenery outside the car window began to recede at a lazy pace, gradually distancing itself from them.

On the opposite platform, the passengers and station staff who were within sight just now were now gradually disappearing behind the train.

Until a familiar figure caught his eye again, and his gaze once again met the eldest daughter of the Earl of Milford who was waiting for another train on the opposite platform through the car window.
