Chapter 548 Sigrid Does Not Dream of Lanqi

Snow Bear Palace, seventh floor.

Lanci and Siglei's apartment suite was spacious and comfortable. The wooden furniture in the living room exuded a fresh and natural scent, and the bed in the bedroom was soft and covered with thick woolen bedding. Lanci opened the door and took a look and felt that this orc city-state was not bad.

"It is worthy of being the commercial city-state closest to the Polante Empire."

Lanci sighed and returned to the living room he and Sigra shared.

Sigra left him the larger bedroom, with his suitcase already packed away, and took the smaller one herself.

"She was just warning you, meow, that her favorability has dropped."

Boss Cat emerged from the shadows and jumped onto Lanqi's shoulders.

Thick curtains hang on the floor-to-ceiling windows to block out the cold outside. When you open the curtains, you can see the beautiful night view of Little Rock, with twinkling lights and the starry sky.

Now Sigley had gone shopping, and Lanqi didn't have much work left today, so he stood leisurely at the window of the living room, looking at the city-state.

"It's okay, it shouldn't be much."

Lanci said with a smile.

The journey, which could have been a bit boring, seemed to become much more interesting because of Sigley.

"Really?"

Boss Cat stared at Lanqi.

However, the favorability may have decreased, but the relationship seems to have become a little more familiar.

It listened to the two people's meaningless chat all the way.

Boss Cat knew that Lanqi himself was not a talkative person, but if the person he was traveling with was easy to talk about, they would probably always have something to talk about.

Now Sigley still had a cold face and kept her distance, but Boss Cat felt that she and Lanqi had become a little better.

At least it's not like Sigley's indifferent attitude when we first set out.

A man and a cat stood by the window and chatted.

More than ten minutes passed.

"Can I come in?"

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Lanci turned around and responded.

The door opened and Siglei returned from the market, carrying a bag full of food, and walked into the living room.

"Um?"

Her eyes noticed the little black cat on Lanqi's shoulder.

Sigra remembered that there was no such cat when they set out.

"Let me introduce you. It's my familiar, Little Black Coal Ball."

Lanqi pointed at the cat boss and introduced him to Sigley.

It was too troublesome to carry the cat on the journey, and the weather was very cold, so it just stayed in the shadow.

Now that he had become a little more familiar with Siglee, Lanqi thought he could introduce the cat boss to her.

More importantly, the cooking has to be done by the cat boss himself.

"Meow meow meow, who's calling me Little Black Coal Ball? Don't give me random names, meow!"

Boss Cat scolded Lanqi.

Although Lanqi had called it Little Black Coal Ball before, he didn't expect that this guy actually thought so in his heart and gave it such a nickname.

"Then pure dark sugar-free whole wheat bread?"

Lanqi thought about it seriously, then turned his head and asked.

"…Forget it, you can call me whatever you want."

The cat boss gave up, jumped off Lanqi's shoulder, and walked gracefully towards the shopping bag of ingredients that Sigley had placed on the ground.

Sieglie stared at the talking cat with a bit of surprise in her eyes, but her expression remained unchanged.

It is not uncommon for a wealthy nobleman to be able to afford a familiar, and this cat is not very strong, probably only at the third or fourth level.

Doesn't look too smart either.

“…”

Boss Cat looked up at Sigray.

I always feel that this little girl is of the same kind as Lanqi, and she likes to think some very rude things.

"It's our chef for the rest of the journey. Just give it the ingredients. You can rest now. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Lanqi said to Sigra.

Sigra nodded, walked into her bedroom and closed the door.

Then, the little black cat was busy on the marble table.

It has a small body, but extremely agile and skillful movements. It uses telekinetic magic to skillfully manipulate various kitchen utensils, and a harmonious rhythm can be heard from the pots and pans.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lanqi flipped through the translation of "The Book of Genesis" from the Blood Moon Era that he carried with him.

No matter how the times change, this book alone has been passed down through tens of thousands of years.

In this era, the interpretation of the Book of Genesis is much less than in the present world, and even few people can understand the writings of the Age of Gods.

Of course, there are also some magical translations that do not exist in the present world.

Although Lanqi cannot learn the divine arts in the Book of Genesis, there are many contents in it that are arias and heroic poems written in the language of the gods. If he read the Chapter of Rocks and Shelter before repairing the statue in Little Rock City tomorrow, he will become more familiar with this god.

Personally, he was more familiar with "The Chapter of Storm and Freedom", the content of which was somewhat related to the relics in the [Original Slate-Wind].

He also had some understanding of "The Chapter of Seal and Confinement". After all, the [Original Slate-Seal] was in his hands now, but he was only at the fourth level and could not yet bind his soul.

Lanqi was flipping through the book with a cup of cooled tea next to him. He didn't know how much time had passed.

He occasionally looked up at the scenery outside the window, then continued reading.

Until a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen.

The dinner that the little black cat carefully prepared is ready.

"Meow meow meow, it's time for dinner."

It tapped gently on Sigley's bedroom door with its paws and meowed at Lanqi to wake him up from his book.

The door of Sigler's room opened. She was still wearing a beret even in the hotel. As the fragrance permeated, she looked towards the dining table.

On the table was a dinner that was unexpectedly sumptuous.

The main course is chicken stewed in white wine. The rich sauce blends the aroma of cream and white wine. The chicken is tender and juicy, paired with soft mashed potatoes and lightly mixed with the silky sauce. The seared beef steak looks shiny and attractive, with a slightly charred surface. The red wine sauce, truffle and pepper sauce add a bit of meaty flavor to it. The vegetable salad is a refreshing embellishment, with fresh lettuce paired with crispy duck, mango, carrots, and topped with salad dressing.

The cat boss made some simple dishes that Lanqi is familiar with based on the winter ingredients selected by Lanqi.

Sigler sat at the table, watching the dinner, motionless and polite.

"Why don't you start?"

Lanqi came over, pulled out a chair, sat opposite her and asked.

"I'll eat when you come."

Sigra replied.

"No need to be so reserved."

Lanqi smiled and gestured for her to go ahead.

Siglei nodded and stopped being polite. She picked up the cutlery, picked up a piece of beef, put it in her mouth and took a bite. She was immediately conquered by the tenderness of the meat and the fragrance of the sauce, and her chewing speed became faster.

Although the way she ate was not polite at all, no matter how hungry she looked, she only took a small portion of the shared meal, finished it quickly, and sat back on the chair.

"Meow……"

Boss Cat stood up from his chair and looked over at the corner of the table. The meal was prepared for two people, but Sigley didn't seem to be full yet.

If you think about it carefully, she is still growing at her age and does physical work, so it is normal for her to eat more. Her lifestyle seems to be particularly frugal, so it seems that it is rare for her to be able to eat such good things.

"I ate quite a lot before leaving today, so I can't finish all this. Could you help us finish some more food?"

Lanqi looked at Sigra and asked.

He ate very slowly, still taking his time cutting the steak.

Sigley glanced at Lanci and nodded.

She could probably tell that her employer was hinting at her in a subtle way to eat more.

But she will not be awkward and refuse other people's kindness.

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

"Thanks."

Sieglie said so and continued to eat.

The dinner on the table was cleared away in a few minutes. Sigley leaned back in her chair expressionlessly and burped.

It might be a little rude, but she had discovered that no matter whether her behavior and words were in accordance with etiquette, as long as it did not affect the business, the employer would be very gentle and tolerant of her.

It's not as exaggerated as the secretary said, that he is such a rich and powerful person that you can't do this or that in front of him.

"My appetite should be better tomorrow, so I should buy more ingredients."

Lanqi had finished his dinner. He took out a note from his pocket and modified the number of items on the shopping list.

Seeing the young people eating made him feel quite gratified.

Eat more good food to grow strong.

There is no need to worry about gaining weight or having the three highs. The hardworking Siglei will definitely be an outstanding young person in the future.

"Tomorrow, if you don't repair the statue, I will try my best to protect you from getting beaten."

Sieglie said suddenly.

To be honest, she had never heard of an artist like Rocky, or a famous craftsman in the Polant Empire, let alone seen his works.

It is likely that it is because of Mr. Rocky McCarthy's noble status and extensive network of contacts that he was able to obtain such a magnificent title as Royal Craftsman and occasionally present gifts to the royal family.

In fact, if he was really that good, the royal family would have made his works famous in the Polant Empire long ago.

According to Sieglie's understanding of the orcs, only great craftsmen are qualified to touch their ancient relics of sacred quality, and the results of the repairs can be clearly and objectively judged using identification magic, because the statues are ancient relics with the effects of magical works of art and cannot be faked in the slightest.

If we can barely get the orcs to inspect it tomorrow, it will be considered a success.

In a worse situation, if the statue is damaged, although the status and position of the great lord of Little Rock City will not cause him to take action and destroy the relationship with the Polant Empire, the people under him may not be so sure. They may really be beaten up by the people.

Just thinking about that terrible situation gave Sieglie a headache.

If it weren't for the fact that this employer treated her well, she wouldn't want to get involved in such messy water no matter how much money was offered to her.

"Oh? Thank you."

Lanqi looked up and said with a smile.

The contract only stipulated that Sigra would ensure his safety in the event of an accident.

If the accident was not caused by the employer himself, she doesn't have to help him.

"Of course, if I'm asked to help, it won't be free."

Sigra waved her hand and walked towards her own bedroom.

Although she has good physical strength, she will still rush to sleep every moment when she has the rare opportunity to rest.

She didn't have much time to rest in the next few days, as she had to travel intensively in bad weather most of the time.

She didn't even change her clothes and just lay down on the bed.

…

Present day northern continent, Protoss Empire.

As the first rays of light on the horizon illuminated Helrom, the city began to shake off the quiet of the night.

The skyscrapers sparkle in the morning light, and the outline of the ancient church and the floating road in another dimension appear even more mysterious in the hazy fog.

The sky gradually changed from dark blue to soft orange, and the golden sunlight shone through the clouds, illuminating every corner of the city.

In a private residence on the top floor of a high-rise building in the center of the city-state of Helrom, the sunlight gently shines in through the half-open blinds, gently awakening this bedroom.

The bedroom is decorated in a modern style, with some simple artworks hanging on the walls, which complement the light tones of the room. The queen-sized bed is neatly covered with bedding, and black and green pillows are casually placed aside.

When the light hit Sigrid's cheek, she slowly opened her eyes from her sleep.

“Huh.”

She yawned, sat up, moved her body, dangled her feet, and gently placed them on the carpet.

She didn't know why, but she always felt very sleepy these two days. If her direct soldier Gloria didn't wake her up, she would sleep for a long time.

It's true that I've been working a lot recently.

The alliance between their Protoss Empire and the neighboring Kingdom of Aethertalan is very important. As long as this alliance is reached, no matter what threats there are in the north, the entire south coast front will be quite solid, and she will be able to have a short vacation.

In the Kingdom of Aethertalan, the Church of the Goddess of Destiny has had an extremely high status since ancient times. They are also one of the negotiating parties in this alliance. This is also a rare case in history where the Church of the Goddess of Destiny and a single branch of the Church of Resurrection can make peace.

"I actually dreamed of the Holy Son."

Sigrid smiled and shook her head.

In her dream, she turned into a little girl and once again set foot on the snowy plains with the Son of God.

It was a very terrible and chaotic era. The little girl never felt at ease for a single moment. Even living was a struggle for her. Sigrid didn't know why she had such a nightmare.

Even now that she had woken up, she felt like she was covered in cold sweats, and her heart was beating at an uncoordinated rhythm, as if the fear was still lingering in her heart.

Unfortunately, in the dream she had no memory of the real world and was very cold towards the Son of God.

I sat on the bed for a while and thought about the dream.

"Damn it, I was just a kid in my dream and couldn't beat him."

Sigrid muttered to herself angrily.

She still remembered the hateful look of the Son of God, who tricked her into promising not to talk nonsense during the repair ceremony, and then he smiled pleasantly.

"Forget it, forget it. The favorability of dreams doesn't count."

If we work hard for a few more days, we can get away and enjoy a short holiday in the southern continent.

Sigrid heard from the little black cat that except for Lanqi, all the Wilford family believed in the goddess of fate, so she thought that if she wanted to visit them, she might be able to bring some souvenirs from the Church of the Goddess of Fate in the Northern Continent. So she asked the Church of the Goddess of Fate, and they gladly gave her the gift as a symbol of peace and friendship.

She said she also wanted an extra amulet to bless her marriage, and the Church of the Goddess of Destiny actually gave it to her.

Sigrid looked at the small glittering jewelry on her wrist and smiled slightly.

Perhaps it was because she felt too comfortable in the sun, Sigrid couldn't help stretching and wiping away the tears with her fingertips.

As we all know, dreams are difficult to continue, so I probably won’t have nightmares tonight.

But even if it was a nightmare, he would definitely save himself.

ps: Today is a two-in-one chapter. I won't write about the orc city-states one by one, because the duration is seven days. There are a total of six city-states plus the final destination, the Demon Realm, which is exactly seven days, which is easier to remember. There are only two geographical city-states that actually have a role, and the ones in between will actually be glossed over.

ps2: I recommend my friend's book "The Unpopular Method of Using the Destiny Heroine"
