Chapter 545: Lanqi and the Girl's Journey to the Snowfield
The snowfield at the entrance to this land of eternal night is quiet and vast, as if it is an untouched corner of the world.
The horns of the Snowfield Dark Deer are tall and bright, as crystal clear as ice sculptures, and emit a faint glow.
"Hey, are you rich?"
Siglei asked suddenly after she had made note of Lanci's request, putting away her pen and notepad with one hand.
The sled left a clear track on the snow, accompanied by the sound of the deer running and the slight sliding sound of the sled.
She rested one hand on the backrest and looked back at Lanqi.
It is rare to see such a big shot who can make his followers treat him with such respect. The man who seemed to be his secretary before looked very nervous.
Although she was not familiar with the upper class society of Hersharem, she felt that this customer was a powerful person whom she rarely met.
"It's okay, but if you want to make money, it should be faster."
Lanci replied.
He didn't mind having someone to chat with on the way, just like traveling with Sid was much more enjoyable than traveling with Tata.
Of course, being with Tata now brings a new kind of fun.
"But could you please hold the reins with both hands and look ahead?"
He raised his hand and pointed forward.
Upon hearing this, Sieglie turned her head back for a moment, but only halfway.
"What do you do?"
Sieglie asked again.
"I'm a painter, and I also know a little bit about sculpture and landscape design."
Lanqi felt a little helpless. Seeing that Sigley's driving habit seemed to be like this and could not be changed for the time being, he thought he could only remind her more often in the future.
For now, it may be better to answer her questions first so that she can drive with peace of mind.
The other person's attitude was cold, but she seemed very talkative and not a quiet girl.
"No wonder you are so rich."
Sieglie nodded, as if she understood a lot of things.
"I am actually quite interested in paintings, for example, the painting in your study just now of a group of children sitting around a fire. Although I didn't look at it carefully, I remember that in the painting, it seemed that a child's hair was accidentally burned by the fire, and his friends around him were trying to save him."
She still wasn't concentrating on the road ahead, and she spoke to Lanqi.
"Um……"
Lanqi thought about it for a while and felt that what Sigley said was a little wrong.
Or rather it took him a moment to figure out which painting Sigra was referring to.
"That painting, from the demonic opera, is not of children sitting by a fire, but of a group of demons cheering in purgatory."
Lanci explained to Sigra.
He actually likes chatting with people about art.
Although it was not his painting, he could understand it.
"Oh, so there is a sequel to the story. If they were all burned to death, the devil would really be cheering."
Sigra shrugged regretfully.
“…”
Lanqi choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Boss Cat was a little overwhelmed in the shadow.
It's hell.
Lanqi doesn't know how to respond to you.
"Hello."
Sieglie called Lanci again, "I noticed on the schedule that you need to return to Hersharem within four weeks at the latest. Can you try to get back earlier? I don't want to be away for a month."
After a few seconds of silence, Lanqi nodded.
"Is it because your family will worry about you?"
Lanqi thought about it and realized that if such a young child went out for a month, her parents would definitely be worried, even if she was really strong.
“…”
Sigra did not answer immediately.
"That's about right."
She said.
Although she can support herself now without living in an orphanage, she always returns to the church orphanage in the small town to help the nuns and priests who once saved her, and sends most of the money back.
Children younger than her would definitely cry if they didn't see her for a month.
Now the whole Polant Empire is in a panic, and the Holy Rite Church is a thorn in the side of the Honing Empire. If peace talks are really held with the Honing Empire, those noble lords will definitely eradicate the church as a gesture of sincerity to please the Honing Empire.
In fact, she didn't want to leave the orphanage during this period, but she really needed money. Everything required money, and the price offered by the other party was extremely generous, so she finally agreed.
But she couldn't tell these things to the clients, otherwise the clients would definitely lower her price.
"Then I'll try to return as early as possible. I actually hope to go back earlier."
Lanci responded.
Sieglie nodded, finally turned her head and looked ahead at the road.
After driving for a while, she picked up a wine-sour naan from the stool, unscrewed it with one hand, and took a small sip.
Lanci's eyes widened.
"Can you really drink at your age? And you're driving."
He immediately leaned forward a little and spoke to Sigley in the front row.
"I didn't drink."
Sieglie answered calmly.
“…”
Lanqi didn't say anything, but he felt that Sigley was fooling a fool. He could smell the alcohol coming from the wine bag through the air.
If this continues, he will feel dizzy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Sigra glanced back at Lanci and understood the look in his eyes.
"Damn it, I've been discovered."
She smacked her lips.
"Why can't I drink? The Polant Empire doesn't have a set drinking age, and I'm not driving a magic-powered vehicle. Besides, this is not even within the Polant Empire."
She retorted.
"I suggest you have some goat's milk wine to warm your body in the snow."
Sigley put the wine bag back and motioned for Lanqi to have a sip as well.
"No, although it is not illegal, I have the obligation to order minors to stop drinking and prevent alcoholism. Drinking too early will not only have a negative impact on the body, but also affect physical and mental health and learning. Therefore, I need to guide minors to establish a correct concept of life."
Lanqi waved his hand and preached to her.
"Tsk, you're really nosy."
Sieglie hesitated for a long time holding the wine bag reluctantly.
Although no one had ever taught her this, to be honest, she envied those children whose parents could nag them all day long.
Hearing such words made her very uncomfortable.
Finally, she closed the lid of the wine bag and threw it aside.
The front and rear rows of the sled remained silent for a long time.
As the sled moved forward, the scenery of the snowfield gradually changed. The snow-capped mountains in the distance appeared and disappeared, and beams of soft sunset occasionally shone through the clouds, adding a bit of warmth to this world of ice and snow.
"By the way, Sigley, how strong are you?"
Lanqi had wanted to ask this a long time ago, more because he wanted to confirm whether it was similar to his own judgment.
If you ask her too early, she might feel like you're questioning her abilities.
Since I'm a little familiar with her, asking her this kind of question shouldn't be rude to her.
"As long as we don't encounter a very strong level 6 monster, I'll have no problem running you away."
Sieglei said without turning her head.
She didn't want to reveal to the clients how strong she was, she just wanted to give them a rough reference and tell the truth.
"Then I feel relieved."
Lanqi estimated that she was stronger than her fifth-level teammates at the Temple Villain Dinner.
"Ms. Sigray, I heard you are an expert at dealing with troubles?"
He chuckled again and asked.
According to the secretary, the reason for recommending Miss Sigler is not only that she is reliable, but also that she has strong business capabilities.
If this is true, maybe I can hire her to help me more with the affairs after returning to the Polant Empire.
"I know how to handle public relations in lawless areas and I am good at persuading people."
Sieglie said with great confidence as she drove.
"Then I'm counting on you, please protect me."
Lanqi asked with a natural smile.
The cat boss in the shadow felt a chill.
Why does this guy always look like he has taken the heroine's script?
"Remember, don't cause trouble. If you are the one who stirs up trouble and causes unnecessary troubles in the contract, I will have to pay extra for extra work, and I may not be willing to pay for it."
Siglei neither agreed nor denied it, but just reminded again.
"Under what circumstances would you take action?"
Lanci asked curiously.
"It depends on my mood."
Sigra responded briefly.
