Chapter 547: Lanqi's favorability has dropped
In the Land of Eternal Night, the Little Stone City ruled by the Bear People.
The Snow Bear Hotel has a majestic appearance, with two huge white bear statues in front of the door, as if guarding this palace-like building.
Entering the hotel lobby, you are greeted by warm lighting and comfortable heating. Tapestries and bear-man totems are hung on the walls. In the center of the lobby is an ornamental magic fireplace with orange light and shadows dancing in the fireplace.
Sigley and Lanci registered at the reception desk and completed the check-in formalities.
For reasons of safety and convenience, they all agreed to an apartment-style suite, which is a two-bedroom and one-living room room.
"As long as you, a distinguished employer, don't mind, a laborer like me would naturally be willing to live better."
Sigley picked up a box in each hand and said to Lanqi.
She thought that her employer this time was a very generous person.
Even in the relatively safe Little Rock, we would like her to live closer, so that her work will be much more convenient and she won't have to run back and forth.
You should know that the cost of living in the Snow Bear Palace is not low, and the contract states that such accommodation expenses are borne by the employer.
"It's okay."
Lanci responded with an easygoing smile.
He felt that Siegler treated him as an untouchable nobleman and drew a clear line between them.
If I have to describe it, it would be that even if I show obvious disdain for her, she will accept it calmly because she feels that they are not from the same class.
The contract was the iron rule that maintained their relationship, and she was only responsible for taking the money and doing the work.
So Sieglie nodded and walked towards the stairs.
Lanqi was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, writing notes, guarding the luggage next to the sofa, waiting for Sigley to finish moving the luggage in two batches.
Although Siglei is only eleven or twelve years old, she is very strong. If she were not so small, she could probably carry four boxes in one go.
Soon she finished moving and came back.
In the gorgeous first floor lobby, Sigler's posture was particularly agile, her small hands tightly holding the suitcase. Although the size and weight of the luggage seemed a bit difficult for her age, her face did not show any fatigue or displeasure.
She was unexpectedly strong, and every step she took was steady and powerful. The weight of the box was nothing to her.
The guests nearby couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh at the state of the world when they saw Lanqi making such a young child do hard labor.
Lanqi didn't care too much because he was also working.
“…”
He watched Sieglie leave again.
Sigler's figure seemed even smaller in the hotel's grand hall and bright lights.
This reminded him that Sigrid also liked to help him carry his luggage.
On the way back to Helrom from the northern snowfields, I always came to my senses and found that she had already moved her luggage and was looking at me with a proud look.
But little Sigley was only following the contract. You couldn't ask her to do more work, nor could you ask her to do less work. It all depended on what was written in black and white.
Lanqi sat on the sofa in the lobby, his eyes once again on the small notebook in his hand.
Finally, when Sigler completed the last trip, she returned to the lobby.
Her face was expressionless, but there was a hint of confusion in her brows.
Just like for some reason, the employer did not follow her upstairs on the second trip just now, but was still waiting for her in the lobby.
"Good evening."
Sigley said to Lanqi who was still writing on the note.
She was not being polite, she was just being professional.
Lanqi raised his head and turned his gaze to the young but extremely competent bodyguard, with recognition in his eyes.
"Thank you, Sigley."
Lanqi said, speeding up the pen in his hand a little, and after a few seconds he stopped writing and tore off the page of notes.
He handed the shopping list to Siegler, then took out his wallet from his jacket pocket, counted out a few pieces of local currency that his secretary had exchanged for him, and handed them to Siegler.
"This money is for travel expenses, including daily necessities, food, etc. If you feel you need to buy anything else, don't ask me. Just come back to me when you're almost done."
He added.
"Oh, thanks."
Sigley took the money from Lanqi and put it in her pocket.
She knew that her last job of the night was to go to the market in Little Rock, as they hadn't had dinner yet.
Sigrace began to walk out of the hotel lobby and noticed that Lanci had followed her.
But his pace was relaxed, as if he was taking a walk. It seemed that he had no intention of going out with her, but just walked a short distance with her leisurely and told her something.
"Tomorrow morning, before and after the repair ceremony, we may have to come into contact with the great lords and priests of the orc city-state. Please be careful with your words and don't let them think that you have offended their ancestors and gods."
Lanqi gently began to talk about tomorrow's work.
"Well, like what?"
Sigley glanced sideways at Lanqi beside her.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although she often came to the Orc City-State, she rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with the great lords and the upper echelons of the city-state, and she didn't know what to say that would cause trouble.
"It's mainly your choice of words, or more importantly, your way of thinking. You need to be respectful of things you don't understand. If you maintain a casual attitude, there may be risks in tomorrow's occasion."
Lanci reminded.
“…It’s really too much trouble.”
She was about to curse but stopped herself, swallowing the swear words that were about to come out of her mouth. "I haven't been to school, so I don't understand what you are talking about."
Sigley felt that she understood every word Lanqi said, but she felt particularly headache when they were connected.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Lanqi walked gracefully beside her with his hands behind his back.
"No thanks. You are not my teacher, let alone my parents. There is no need for you to teach me this or that."
Sieglie shook her head impatiently.
"Then I can just say nothing and be done with it."
After that, she quickened her pace a little.
“This is a good compromise.”
Lanqi finally smiled a little and agreed.
“…”
"Have you been waiting for me to say this for a long time?"
Sigley and Lanqi walked to the door of the Snow Bear Hotel together and frowned.
She always felt like this guy was trying to trick her.
"No."
Lanqi pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Are you taking me for a fool?"
Siglei observed Lanqi's expression intently.
"No."
Lanqi opened his lips slightly, and answered in surprise and half confusion.
Seeing Lanqi's innocent look, Siglei suddenly felt very angry.
"Hehe, I'm in a bad mood."
Sieglie sneered, turned around and walked away alone, saying this before passing through the revolving door of the hotel.
