Chapter 656 Sigrid's Letter

A few days later.

It has been rainy and cloudy in Ikrit recently, with thunders often heard.

The hottest days of summer every year pass with a cold wave, followed by a stable temperature until autumn.

And today is the day when Lanqi is going to set off for the Kingdom of Person.

Since the train ticket is in the evening, I have no classes or extra work during the day. I just need to pack my luggage.

"It feels like I just went on a long trip not long ago, and now I have to go on another trip."

Lanqi stood in front of the closet in his room, frowning and talking to himself.

Thinking about it carefully, the last time he was on a business trip was as a diplomat of the Polant Empire in the shadow world. No wonder he had this feeling of being on the road all the time.

Lanqi was soon relieved.

After this trip to the Kingdom of Person, he is one big step closer to retirement.

If I were to write a memoir of my struggle, this would be the penultimate volume.

Just as he was packing his suitcase, suddenly, in addition to the sound of rain, crisp tapping sounds were heard on the window glass.

"Meow, Lanqi, there's a letter for you."

The little black cat in a raincoat opened the window of Lanqi's bedroom and used telekinesis to float a letter onto Lanqi's desk.

"Thank you, Mr. Cat."

Lanqi put down the clothes in his hand, walked to the window and took the little black cat.

It seemed to wrap the envelope with magic, so that the envelope did not get wet at all.

"Little things meow."

Boss Cat took off his cat-shaped raincoat, folded it and placed it on the ground.

A letter was sent to Boss Cat's restaurant and kept at Planai's counter. Boss Cat went back to his restaurant to check it before leaving today, and then brought it to Lanqi.

“Just right.”

Lanqi looked at the dim sky outside the window and counted the days. If the sea courier went smoothly, he would probably receive a reply within these few days.

Fortunately, the letter arrived before I set off.

He walked to the side of the room, turned on the floor lamp, and slowly sat down at the desk.

On this rainy summer day when it's hard to tell whether it's morning or afternoon, the lights make the room bright.

Lanqi touched the sealed letter with his fingertips. The surface of the envelope was slightly rough, and the texture seemed to have been baptized by the sea breeze.

He took out a small envelope knife from the desk drawer, inserted the tip of the knife into the seal of the envelope, and gently cut along the edge like a painter outlining the outline on a canvas, and the envelope was carefully opened.

The letter inside was like a precious treasure, waiting to be discovered by him.

Lanqi pulled out the letter steadily. The paper was thin and slightly fragile. It was an antique-style letter that had been fumigated with incense and cast a magic that would not be easily destroyed.

He smiled slightly and started browsing.

"——Dear Mr. Wilford"

"First of all, I am very happy to receive your letter."

"The talents you recruited for me are quite good. Right now, the Tyrant Branch is worried about hiring people in the Protoss Empire, but you sent me a group of well-trained elite priests. I can only say that we are really in sync."

"I actually dreamed about you during this time."

"Thinking of you every day and night may be a stupid persistence."

"But I want to say that it's great to meet a true confidant."

"Do you still often think back to the dozens of days we spent together in those endless snowy Protoss Mountains?"

"No matter how cold it was, I never felt scared."

"Even in my dreams."

"As long as I give you a little time, you will turn winter into a colorful spring and let the warm sunshine shine on me."

"Meow meow, it's Sid's letter."

Boss Cat was curled up on the side, lying on the table looking at the letter in Lanqi's hand. Even without seeing the signature, he knew who wrote the letter.

It was originally curious about who would send a letter to Lanqi.

But now that I think about it, Lanqi did intercept a group of high priests of the destruction branch in the Nanwantina territory.

At that time, Lanqi actually treated them as free messengers and asked them to bring letters to Sigrid.

What a luxury.

"This handwriting is obviously hers."

Lanqi rubbed the cat boss's head without taking his eyes off the letter.

"And some serious business."

"Our partner, the leader of the Berenhard family, Duchess Chloris, investigated Duke Morodian's relics and the northern border. As a result, she found that there were indeed signs of the appearance of demons, and this group of demons seemed to be completely different from Pranay and his men. Now they have evacuated the Protoss Empire."

"Demons?"

Boss Cat looked up at Lanqi.

"At that time... Miss Duchess Cloris asked me, as the principal of the Protoss Royal School of Magic, to go to the north to investigate. The cause was the panic caused by the influx of mysterious demons into the northern countries. In the end, the investigation led to Duke Morotian and Bishop Asksan of Annihilation."

Lanqi hesitated and thought about it.

Unexpectedly, after settling down in the northern part of the Protoss Empire and conducting an investigation, there were actually signs of the appearance of demons.

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

"Even the Ice Witch Artemis is convinced that she has never heard of such a demon a hundred years ago. It is completely different from the demon culture she knows."

"What worries the great sage Isis is that among this group of unknown demons, there may be one more powerful than Duke Morodian. Even I may not be able to win for sure."

"There is still no clue as to where they came from and what their purpose is."

"But one thing is certain: the more places where the demons remain, the easier it is for them to hide their tracks. The Protoss Empire and the Aethertalan Kingdom are natural infiltration sites."

Lanci turned a page.

"When you receive this letter, I will probably have almost finished dealing with the affairs of the Protoss Empire."

"Probably? In two or three months I will be in Hutton Kingdom?"

"After all, the sea route between the north and south continents is so long, and it is still a long journey to go from the northern coast of the southern continent through various countries to the eastern region to find the Kingdom of Hutton."

"If you have finished your work and still have some energy left, could you please take me on a tour of the capital city of Ikerite?"

"No matter what, this bishop sincerely wishes you all the best."

"Best wishes to you."

"Meow, this seems like an order."

Boss Cat said to Lanqi.

Although Sigrid's words were polite, she clearly did not allow Lanqi to refuse.

"Indeed, Her Excellency the Bishop does not like to be disobeyed."

Lanqi nodded.

"etc."

As if he felt that there was more content behind the fold of the letter, he flipped it back again.

"I miss you."

"Remember to practice hard and reach the sixth level quickly!"

The last drawing is of a little Sid with a cute expression.

"Really? This is how an old actor can control himself."

Lanqi shook his head and smiled to himself.

"You're an old actor, right? Be careful or your favorability will be deducted, meow."

The little black cat reminded him, imitating Sid's tone.

"I really want to finish all my work as soon as possible and start a leisurely daily life."

Lanqi carefully folded the letter until it was flat, put it back into the envelope intact, and then opened the first cabinet and put it away.

"Meow meow meow, retire soon!"

yelled the cat boss.

"Don't worry, it will be done soon. The second half of my memoirs will mostly be ordinary everyday stories. There is no such thing as a hollow main plot in an everyday story collection."

Lanqi petted the cat, stood up, smiled and went to the closet to pack his luggage again.
