Chapter 544: The Work of Lanqi's First Generation Craftsman
"You will go to the northern border with Mr. Rocky as quickly as possible under the escort of the Dragon Cavalry Regiment. I will trouble you to escort Mr. Rocky in the snowy fields. Please make sure to protect his safety."
In the study of Lanqi's private residence, the secretary explained the upcoming itinerary to the bodyguard Sigler.
Siglei nodded and glanced at Lanqi who was sitting at the table drinking tea.
Generally speaking, unless they were in a hurry, they would not ask the Dragon Cavalry Regiment to quickly transport them to the northernmost part of the empire within the borders.
In this way, the journey within the country can be shortened several times to less than half a day, but the cost of air transportation will also be many times higher than that of land transportation.
Further north, dragons cannot fly smoothly in darkness, extreme cold, and snow, so they have to switch to land travel when passing through the land of eternal night.
"The path on the snowfield must strictly pass through several independent city-states..."
The secretary gave Sieglie instructions according to the itinerary.
Lanqi also opened the small map manual with one hand and read it idly while waiting.
He now has a habit of always keeping a children's version of the map with him even when he has a guide.
Under normal circumstances, the Land of Eternal Night, as a vast snowfield, is quite dangerous, with groups of ferocious beasts, chaotic public security, and rejection of humans.
Now is wartime.
The current situation in neighboring countries may result in the appearance of hidden vampire scouts on the snowfield.
This made the already dangerous journey even more dangerous.
As for the route on the snowfield, it has already been planned, or in other words, there is only one best route -
Lanqi took on a job to repair the statues of gods that the orc city-states along the way believed in.
The orc city-states particularly respect the gods, believing that the reason they have been able to prosper for a long time is because they have the protection of the gods, and the statues of the city-states are also indispensable objects in their worship ceremonies and other activities.
Unfortunately, the orcs are not good at this kind of craft, and basically ask craftsmen from neighboring countries to maintain the statues for them. However, due to the long-standing confrontation between humans and orcs that has intensified in recent years and the extremely poor security in the Land of Eternal Night, famous craftsmen are unwilling to go to the snowfield.
Furthermore, it is said that some violent orc lords may even attack the craftsmen in a rage if the repairs are not done well.
As a result, no half-baked craftsman is willing to risk his life to cheat.
Even Little Rock City, which is closest to the Polant Empire and has the best relations with humans, has sought craftsmen from the Polant Empire many times, but no master has been willing to take on this thankless and high-risk job.
After all, no one has the confidence to guarantee that the orcs will be satisfied.
Of course, on the other hand, if the repairs are done well, they will also gain their favor and favour, after all, they are straightforward.
This time, it was heard that a great craftsman employed by the royal family of the Polant Empire was willing to take on this job, and that he was going to take on the repair work of six city-states from south to north. The Orc city-state was very much looking forward to it and promised to do its best to protect Master Loki's safety along the way.
Lanqi knew very well that the Land of Eternal Night, as the road between the Demon Realm and the Polant Empire, was even more critical during this war.
Gaining the support and help of the indigenous orcs means huge convenience, but at the same time, this is a territory that must never be given to the vampires.
Lanqi will try his best to convey the Horning Empire's offensive intentions to the orc lords.
Although there is still a lot of prejudice against humans in the Orc city-state, it will only change if someone takes the first step.
"This gentleman is quite distinguished. When you take him through the Land of Eternal Night, please follow this red book and do not let him suffer any harm or unhappiness in the orc city-state."
The secretary handed Sieglie a red-covered book. She glanced at it reluctantly and then nodded.
If it wasn't for the money, she wouldn't want to escort such a delicate master.
"Damn, this is so troublesome."
She said to herself.
"Shh!"
The secretary was horrified. "You can't use such vulgar language in front of this gentleman."
He hurriedly instructed Siegler and prayed that the Prime Minister did not hear it.
"What do you mean by vulgar language?"
Sigra frowned in confusion.
"You need to be more elegant and polite in your choice of words and sentences."
The secretary explained it to her patiently.
Although he also knew that the coachman had some minor problems, such as being prone to offending the Prime Minister out of ignorance and fearlessness, she was indeed a master at dealing with trouble, and it was most reassuring to leave the Prime Minister to her.
"I have never been to school, so I don't know how to say those so-called elegant words."
Sieglie spread her hands.
Before, most of the people she escorted were merchants going to the snowfield to do business. It was rare to hear of a powerful lord willing to go to the land of eternal night in person. Even if there were necessary official business, they would be escorted by professional troops, and there was no need to make such a private commission mysterious.
"Ms. Sigley..."
The secretary felt the words get stuck in his throat.
He couldn't tell Sieglie that this gentleman was the Prime Minister, and that he also had a unique mission and needed to disguise himself as someone else and travel north.
"It's okay, don't embarrass the child."
Lanqi sat at the table, chuckled, put down his teacup and said.
Although he personally does not swear, he also does not change other people's speaking habits.
What's more, this child doesn't understand.
"OK."
The secretary expressed gratitude to Lanqi, and then continued to explain the rest of the content to Sigler.
The Prime Minister has never made things difficult for him and has always been very considerate to his subordinates at work.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Sigra glanced at Lanci again.
It was a bit surprising that this client was a little different from the high-ranking and powerful person I had imagined.
…
That afternoon.
The journey of several hours passed in a flash.
On the silvery white snowfield in the northern border of the Polant Empire, a girl wearing a beret was driving a sled. Her posture was calm and capable, as if she had merged with the beauty of this cold world.
In front of the sled, two snowfield reindeer were running fast on the snow, their hooves raising pieces of snow mist on the thick snow, as if they were drawing a road map of nature on the snowfield.
After Siglei set out with Lanqi this morning, they quickly arrived at the northernmost part of the Polant Empire by air.
After renting a magical beast that could move the fastest in the land of eternal night, he left the border.
The girl's face flushed slightly in the cold wind, and the deer-controlling whip in her hand was waved gently, making intermittent sounds.
Behind her, a man was sitting quietly in the back seat.
His eyes were focused intently on the small booklet map in his hand.
The map was blown by the wind, the corner of the book swayed gently, and the young man seemed to be contemplating the journey ahead.
"We're actually already halfway through today's trip. When it comes time to where to stay tonight, the first thing I'd like you to do is find me an inn that's as spacious as possible and help me buy the ingredients. I'll give you a list of ingredients, and just try to buy them according to what's written on it."
Lanqi's brown hair fluttered in the cold wind, and his face was full of anticipation for the journey to the north.
"Why don't we just find a restaurant to eat at?"
Sieglei tilted her head slightly and asked.
She felt that these clients were delicate.
We didn't have much communication with each other along the way in the territory of the Polant Empire. He seemed to be very tired from work in the past few days and spent most of his time resting with his eyes closed.
“I thought so too, but my chef suggested that I cook at home.”
Lanqi looked at the shadow under his feet and sighed.
Boss Cat always says to eat out less often.
Previously, he and Boss Cat were in the Northern Continent, and once they started their journey, it was Boss Cat who served as the chef most of the time.
"All right."
Sieglei took out a pen and made a note on the note.
Anyway, according to the contract, these basic costs are borne by Party A.
The better off the client was, the more food she could get.
She usually lives frugally, and now she doesn't have to pay for her own food and accommodation at work, and her boss doesn't mind the expenses. All she has to do is move a few more things.
Lanqi looked at her crooked handwriting in the front row and couldn't help but smile a little.
Even though she was a little reluctant, she was very professional and wrote it all down.
