Chapter 486: Lanqi and Sigrid’s Date (Part 1)

Lanqi walked out of the principal’s office with firm steps.

Outside the door, the light in the corridor is soft and clear, and the dark red lacquered wooden floor forms a beautiful pattern of light and shadow.

Pranay was standing quietly, and when she saw Ranchi, a smile appeared on Pranay's face.

"Praana, I'm leaving get off work early today. Just prepare a little bit, and we'll leave tomorrow."

As Lanqi walked past Pranay, he patted Pranay's shoulder briskly.

"Yes, I wish you a pleasant date."

Pranay stood there and saluted Ranchi.

"How come you know everything again?"

Lanqi looked back in surprise.

“Because you look happy.”

There was relief in Pranay's voice.

"Okay, go and rest. Goodbye, Pranay."

Lanci smiled back, his tone lighter than usual, and raised his hand to bid Pranay farewell.

He walked down the corridor toward the stairs.

The stone steps of the stairs were simple and solid, and each step was carved with the unique dark gray relief of the Redmond Building. Lanqi's footsteps echoed in the stairwell, seeming to be a little faster than usual.

Walking out of the Redmond Administrative Building, Lanqi welcomed the spring sunshine and fresh air.

He followed the path all the way to the lake on the north side.

The trees were lush and green, and the birds were singing. The sunlight shone through the treetops and onto Lanqi's body, adding a sense of lightness and joy to his steps.

He walked along.

soon.

The azure blue lake next to the northernmost church of the Protos Royal Academy of Magic appeared in the field of vision.

The spring sunshine spread across the lake, casting a light golden glow on everything.

Lanqi's footsteps left faint traces on the soft grass.

The lake surface sparkled and the breeze blew by, bringing with it the scent of moist floral dew.

In that sunny and wide-view landscape, he saw a slender figure.

She was standing by the lake, wearing a light white dress, the hem of her dress fluttering gently in the wind, like ripples on the lake.

Her long, soft, light-colored hair was blown up by the breeze. She raised her hand to hold it down. The sunlight filtered through her hair, casting a gentle halo and adding a hazy purity to her back.

Sigrid stood quietly, seemingly admiring the lake in front of her and the scenery in the distance.

“…”

When Sigrid sensed a slight movement, she slowly turned around and met Lanci's gaze in the distance.

A warm smile spread across her face, a welcoming gleam in her eyes.

"Sorry for the wait. The dressing up took a bit of time."

Lanqi came to her and said.

"It's okay, you look very pretty, and it's worth the time I spent waiting for you. I knew you would turn into this black-haired, green-eyed look again."

Sigrid's voice was soft and melodious, like a spring breeze gently blowing across the lake.

“…”

Lanci smiled back.

"Still laughing, still laughing. I've warned you several times not to act like this. Do you want more girls on the street to look at you?"

She suddenly pointed at Lanqi, frowned and criticized harshly.

"But."

Before Lanqi could explain anything.

"So, don't let me catch you making eye contact with other girls today. If they look at you, you are not allowed to look at them. Do you understand?"

Sigrid's words were teasing, but there was also a hint of dissatisfaction as she warned him.

"So that means I can only look at you today."

Lanqi shook his head helplessly and spread his hands.

When Sigrid heard this, she stared at Lanqi in disbelief, then turned around and walked quickly towards the south side of the campus.

"What's wrong?"

Lanqi followed Sigrid naturally and asked.

"Some things don't need to be translated. Just understand them in your heart. Otherwise, it will make everyone embarrassed."

She glared at Lanqi fiercely and quickened her pace.

Lanqi chased after him with a smile, and the two of them talked as they walked, discussing some meaningless topics, such as the daily life and new look of the school, and some light-hearted topics, such as the spring flowers blooming and the scenery by the lake.

The two seemed to have returned to the time when they first traveled together on the snowfield. As long as they were together, they could chat non-stop, leaving the cat owner speechless.

But the cat boss was not here today. It was taken away by Antanas early in the morning.

Walking along the road to the school, the two people's voices echoed in the empty north side residential area.

In the residential courtyards on both sides of the campus roads, the newly grown tender leaves sparkle with green light in the sun, the plants in the flower beds are vying for beauty, and the long-lost breath of spring permeates every corner.

Sudden.

At the end of the road, there came the rhythmic sound of wheels rolling over the road and the faint meowing of cats.

“Meow!!”

The sudden laughter and childish screams were particularly clear amid the fragrance of spring flowers, startling a flock of birds.

I saw three people sitting on a sightseeing-style sled coming from the corner. They drifted through the curve, and the fallen leaves could not hide the smiles on their faces.

"Fast in a curve is really fast!"

The big black fox in front was pulling the cart and running wildly. Golden flames were burning on the tips of its ears, and its powerful footprints left golden light and shadows of varying sizes on the asphalt road.

Antanas held the reins, with the brightest smile on his face.

Even when she was sitting in a speeding fox car, Shinola maintained her ladylike composure.

Sitting between the two great demons was Zestira, who had been taking care of the big fox during this period. She looked expressionless, but she was obviously very happy sitting between her two sisters.

As the first student recruited by Lanqi when he first arrived in the southern town of the northern continent, although there are no teachers to tutor her in magic engineering recently, there are three more senior professors who will visit her and teach her magic.

During this period of time, Zestira has become familiar with the other three professors, and she admires them very much. She always feels that they have the temperament of the great demons.

When Antanas spotted two figures on the road, he immediately slowed down and stopped the Fox Car next to them.

"Eh? What's going on, Boss? Why are you dating a student girl you don't even know?!"

She asked in surprise, holding the little black cat.

In other words, the moment the big fox saw Lanqi and Sid, it took the initiative to run towards them, and then rubbed its head against the two of them affectionately.

"Hey, Antanas..."

Shinola quickly grabbed Antanas' sleeve, she knew that Antanas was asking the question even though she already knew the answer.

"teacher?"

It was not until this moment that Zestira suddenly realized that the young man with black hair and green eyes was her teacher, Mr. Rocky.

"uh-huh?"

Sigrid's mouth curled up slightly.

She deliberately looked at Lanqi who was standing beside her, waiting for his answer.

"So what exactly is going on, can you tell me?"

Antanas looked like a reporter, smiled slyly, and raised the air microphone to ask.

"You are wrong."

Lanqi stated solemnly and clearly:

"I'm not your boss. I'm Lanci Wilford, a first-year student at the Protoss Royal School of Magic."

“…”

This answer made Sigrid's smile even deeper, because he was not denying the date.

Hearing Lanqi's answer, Antanas raised his hands, lifted the cat boss above his head and cheered.

"Have a nice date, both of you!"

With Antanas' blessing, the fox chariot was driven faster.

Lanqi and Sigrid looked at each other helplessly, and watched the fox car disappear at the end of the road, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the school.

"The campus has become different again."

Sigrid observed the changes in the Protoss Royal School of Magic compared to half a month ago.

Although Principal Rocky McCarthy is about to retire.

But the artistic works he left in the school will surely become a legend in the Protoss Empire forever.

If only this guy's attitude and level of painting could be as serious and dedicated as his architectural design, then maybe he could leave a nice collection for his own museum.

Sigrid thought to herself.

"This will probably be my last job at this school."

Lanqi recalled many things that happened after coming to the Northern Continent.

You won’t feel it too much while experiencing it.

But when you are about to leave, looking back you will feel that every moment was beautiful.

As they chatted, the two walked out of the school gate and stepped onto the streets of the city of Helrom.

The southern part of Helrom is a downtown area, much more lively than the campus. The skyscrapers and shops along the street have already opened for business this morning. Helrom residents walk by quickly or slowly to spend this weekend.

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

Crossing the streets, the two walked beside the city's river, with a faint blue light on the water.

The river south of Helrom is not an ordinary river. It flows with liquid mineral springs containing magical energy, which has an extraordinary attraction to magic craftsmen.

But this time, Lanqi didn't focus on the river, he kept looking at Sigrid.

Sigrid turned into Sid's appearance today, but she was no longer dressed in a very capable outfit, but wore a more girlish dress.

"How do I look today?"

As Sigrid walked, she lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around so that Lanqi could look at her from head to toe.

“…”

Lanci tilted his head in confusion.

“Isn’t it pretty?”

Sigrid asked hesitantly. She always felt that Lanqi's eyes were saying, "You look like a woman today."

She was worried that if she asked any more questions, her blood pressure would explode.

"I still think you look best the way you are."

Lanqi answered seriously.

“…”

This made Sigrid slightly stunned, and she quickly coughed again to cover up her half-second pause.

"...Then let's go to a place with fewer people. I'll change back to my original form and show you."

Sigrid moved closer and spoke to Lanci.

After saying that, she lifted her long hair again.

"But today I have to let you go on a date with Sid instead of Sigrid."

Sigrid added with mock regret.

"Then you won't continue to calculate my favorability, will you? If it's too low, you won't give me the slate."

Lanqi felt that Sigrid's examiner-like eyes were about to start grading him again.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Sigrid put her index finger to her lips and thought.

Yeah. That's right.

She thought about it in her mind, but didn't say it out loud, letting him figure it out himself.

"So today, are you Sigrid or Sid?"

Lanqi decided that he had to figure out this problem.

In fact, during the month he and Sigrid went to the north of the empire, he still didn't understand Sigrid's definition criteria.

"Well."

Sigrid was silent at first, as if she was thinking about how to come up with a convincing explanation.

Gradually, she found that she really couldn't make it up.

at last.

"My name is Sid. I'm a sophomore at the Protoss Royal School of Magic. I'm nineteen years old. Look, this is my monthly student pass."

Sigrid blinked her left eye and spoke to Lanci with full energy.

“…”

Lanqi choked up. He had always followed the rules, but this was the only time he was fooled by someone with unclear rules, and he was fooled for such a long time. "Are you actively reporting to the principal that you forged your student identity?"

He had been in the education industry for so long, but this was the first time he had seen a student as rampant as Sigrid.

"Just try to revoke my student status."

She lowered her voice a little, leaned in and poked Lanqi, with a hint of warning and even threat.

"I dare not."

Lanci shook his head.

"It's been a while since we last met, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Sigrid asked, as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Congratulations to the Bishop for reaching the ninth level..."

Lanqi clasped his fists, turned sideways and congratulated Sigrid.

"Level 5."

Sigrid's clear voice interrupted him.

"One step closer to the ninth level..."

Lanqi paused for a moment and then continued.

"Level 5!"

Sigrid emphasized again, glaring at Lanci, not letting him finish his words.

She knew what this guy wanted to say! It’s better not to congratulate! "Xide is level 5, and has always been level 5. If you work hard, you may be stronger than her."

Sigrid folded her arms, looked away, and muttered to herself as she stared at the lake.

"What do you mean? Can you explain it in detail?"

"Deduct favorability."

The two stepped onto the bridge over the river and after crossing it they saw another block.

The sun was falling obliquely beside the tall buildings. The sky garden supported by a transparent magic barrier was suspended in the air. Singing plants and glowing ghosts were swaying in the wind in the garden.

They passed under the Sky Garden without any worry that it would suddenly fall.

"Where do we go next?"

Sigrid followed Lanqi's gaze, looked at the sky garden, and asked again.

"There's a weekend show on the Sky Garden today. Let's go to Fourth Street in Helrom for lunch. I have a reservation-free card for all the restaurants there. You can choose which restaurant to go to. I don't have any plans for the afternoon. I feel like it would be stressful to fill up my schedule. Let's just wander around Helrom as we feel like. If you're interested, I have tickets to the Helrom Late Show. Do you want to go watch it together?"

Lanqi tapped his fingers and preached to Sigrid slowly.

If the date is aimless and lacks reservations, the actual experience is likely to be that you will encounter various queues and end up just killing time out of boredom.

Especially since today is Saturday in Helrom.

"How did you arrange your schedule?"

Sigrid was a little surprised.

It's a strange feeling for a mature man in his thirties.

She originally thought that Lanqi had not prepared anything, because she suddenly rushed back after finishing her work and did not inform Lanqi in advance, so she came to the Redmond Building as soon as possible.

Looks like I can improve his favorability a bit today.

"You found me."

Lanci pulled a small notebook from his pocket.

I saw that it was a carefully prepared travel guide to Helrom.

The chapter he opened was titled: "A Guide to Traveling in Helrom That Even a 3-Year-Old Would Not Get Lost"

Seeing this, Sigrid suddenly smiled with relief.

She was so angry that she laughed.
