Chapter 493 Lanqi's House is About to Be Robbed
Ikerit Academy of Magic, the iconic area of the royal capital, is located in the central area. There are no walls around the school. This area and all the buildings in it are called Ikerit Academy of Magic.
Even if you just pass by from a distance, you can see the emblem of Ikerit College and the conspicuous tower on the nearby buildings. If you cross two streets to the east, you will arrive at the old restaurant, Cat Boss Restaurant.
Although the building is made of slightly rustic brown wood, the roof is gently curved and the eaves extend widely beyond the walls to form a comfortable open balcony, suitable for relaxing, chatting or even enjoying an afternoon meal.
Hyperion led them out of the car in an orderly manner, carrying the luggage, and bells were heard in the distance.
That was the sound of the bell coming from the red brick bell tower of Ikerit College. It rang only three times and then only a leisurely echo remained, indicating that it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
The warm afternoon sun lazily shines on the roof of the small restaurant. The air is filled with light smoke from cooking and the lingering aroma of lunch. The taste of pastries and cheese is intertwined, like the fragrance of flowers on a country path, which is refreshing.
"We're back."
Hyperion took the lead and pushed open the door. The wind chimes hidden deep under the eaves swayed gently, making pleasant sounds, adding a bit of tranquility and comfort to this afternoon.
The wooden door closed behind them with a soft click.
Light shines through the windows onto the floor in patches. The interior of the restaurant is elegantly decorated, with a few retro photos and dolls hanging on the walls. The air is filled with the faint aroma of coffee and the warm smell of baked goods.
There were not many customers at Cat Boss at this time. Behind the counter stood a young woman with her long hair simply tied up. She was wearing the restaurant's work clothes and looked both professional and friendly.
Asna, who was working at the Student Union of Ikrit College in the morning, noticed the new customer in the store. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then turned into a joyful smile.
"Boss Cat, you are back."
Asna walked out from the kitchen with a smile on her face.
She has now started using clone magic to watch the front desk while working in the kitchen.
Although I am a little tired, I finally feel that the three years of study in the Sage Hall of Ikrit Academy have come in handy.
"Senior, I'm sorry we're back late. The student union must be very busy with their work."
Hyperion bowed her head guiltily and apologized to their vice president Asna.
She and Lanqi came back nearly a month later than expected. The semester was almost over, and Asna not only had a job in the student union, but also had to serve as the hostess and chef here.
"No, your influence is still on campus, and the work of the student union is going very smoothly."
Asna smiled and took Hyperion's hand and replied.
“…”
Hyperion didn't know how to evaluate this "aftereffect".
"Is Tata taking a day off today?"
The cat boss jumped onto the counter and looked around the store curiously, but did not see Tata.
It seemed that Antanas was also nervous because he hadn't seen Tata for a long time, and he became even more nervous.
"Miss Tata, she just happened to take a leave these few days, saying that she had to go back to Nanwantina to take charge."
Ashna replied.
"That's a shame, meow."
Boss Cat shook his head.
I originally wanted to give Tata a surprise and let her meet her three childhood friends.
Now it seems that I can only wait until she comes back, push the door open, and discover the surprise.
"By the way, why did Tata return to Nanwantina Territory?"
Hyperion asked confused.
She remembered that Lanqi's hometown was the Nanwantina border territory.
In the past, Hyperion thought that Tata was a fellow villager of Lanqi in the border territory of Nanwantina. Later, when she went to the Northern Continent, she found out that Tata's true identity was actually a demon princess from the Northern Continent, who met Lanqi by chance in the border territory of Nanwantina.
"Well, she seemed to say she wanted to see Lanqi's paintings."
Asna thought about it, looked at Lanqi in confusion, and said.
Lanqi: “?!”
"Lanqi's paintings?"
Hyperion frowned slightly as she thought back.
It seemed to be still winter, and Hyperion remembered that Tata did say that she was curious about a painting in Lanqi's house called "Poor and Poor Old Lady" and wanted to go back to see it.
Unexpectedly, Tata, who has never gone out for many years, has started to act on his own.
"Lanqi, speaking of that painting in your house..."
Hyperion turned around and looked at Lanci. She was about to speak, but then stopped talking.
She noticed that Lanqi had been silent since then.
I saw sweat starting to appear on Lanqi's forehead and his expression froze.
"Lanqi, Lanqi..."
Hyperion had never seen Ranch like this.
"Senior Asna, may I ask when did Tata leave?"
Lanqi came back to his senses and asked.
"She has been gone for four or five days, but she is in no hurry to go back. She plans to travel along the southern city-states and head to the southernmost Nanwantina Territory."
Asna looked back at the calendar behind the counter.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I have something to do at home, I have to go back quickly!"
Lanqi immediately picked up the cat boss and ran out.
A few stunned people were left standing not far from the counter of Boss Cat's restaurant.
"Three of you, please look after the store. I'll go with him."
After Hyperion realized what was happening, she quickly followed him out, looking back and shouting as she ran.
She didn't know what was going on. It was the first time she saw Lanqi so panicked, and she was a little scared! But if her best friend was really in trouble, she would not let Lanqi face it alone! "..."
The three great demons looked at each other.
Antanas and Shinola looked at Pranay, and they felt that Pranay might be able to guess what was going on.
Pranay just shook his head.
He is in mixed emotions now.
If it was for Wang's own good, he hoped that something really happened to Wang's family.
But it feels weird.
Now, perhaps only those who wish Wang dead would hope that Wang's family is actually fine.
“Hoo-hoo.”
Asna smiled helplessly and looked towards the door, as if she was used to Lanci and Hyperion suddenly running off together like this, the two of them were very active in the student union.
There was silence for a moment.
"Well, the three of us are new here and old friends of Tata. We will come to help Boss Cat run the restaurant."
Antanas was the first to greet Asna warmly, "My name is Antanas, his name is Pranay, her name is Shinora, and they are brother and sister."
Before coming, the cat boss had introduced his disciple Asna to them.
When it was away, Asna took over the management of the restaurant.
"That's great. I was just thinking about how to introduce you to Tata!"
Asna breathed a sigh of relief and held Antanas' hand.
"How's Tata doing lately?"
Antanas hesitated for a moment, then asked with great concern.
She knew that Tata was Talia's alias.
She was very excited to meet Talia, but she was also afraid that Talia had suffered too much over the years.
Shinola is also very concerned about this issue. She hopes that Talia lives a good life, but she cannot accept that Talia really caught a rich husband.
"She is doing well, don't worry."
Asna smiled gently, asked the three to sit down, brought a tray and poured tea for them from the counter, then sat next to them and told them how she took good care of Tata's daily life.
Tomorrow the story will return to the very beginning, Lan Qiwei! ps: I recommend a friend's book "They are all abstract pets, are you the king of beasts?"
