Chapter 670: Ranchi and Talia seem to have dated before

The next day.

"Today is your second day in Pariel, the flower capital of the Persian Kingdom."

"You started dating Tata early in the morning..."

The cat boss's childish voice was stopped halfway by Lanqi and Talia's simultaneous death stares.

The little black cat shrank its head and turned back into a quiet, pure black, sugar-free whole wheat bread.

In the early morning on the streets of Parière, a man and a woman walked through the old-fashioned streets on the north bank of Parière.

Their steps were slow, as if the whole city was playing a leisurely tune for them.

The street cafes exude the aroma of coffee, while the Phalaenopsis, pansies and Rieger Begonias in the brown brick flower shop are particularly bright in the morning light, with dewdrops sparkling between the petals.

Lanqi was wearing a simple gray shirt jacket today, looking casual and relaxed.

As for why he wore gray, he said it was to pay tribute to the legendary mentor.

"Speaking of which, can traveling together like this really help us improve our rapport?"

Talia asked.

They were casually looking at the morning bouquets on the street, not looking like a couple at all, and they both seemed to find it boring to go out with each other.

As always, Talia looked exceptionally beautiful without any make-up or dressing up. She was wearing a light white long dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps. Her long gray hair was gently blown by the morning breeze in the old neighborhood. She looked like an elf walking out of a painting, pure and beautiful.

The accommodation arranged for them by Countess Rosalinda, the Esprit des Palais Platinum, is located in the 2nd arrondissement of Parié, with an excellent location, just a short walk from the Platinum Palace and the Pont des Arts.

One of the special features of this hotel is that breakfast can be enjoyed in a "cave"-like space. In addition, the hotel also provides 24-hour reception service to ensure the comfort and convenience of guests.

Overall, the Spirit of Bosnia Palace Hotel perfectly combines traditional Bosnia-Herzegovina living experience with modern comforts, making it an ideal accommodation choice when visiting Parië.

"I don't know."

Lanqi hugged the cat boss and said.

Since the hotel was very close to two special attractions, they did not plan to go there in a hurry as they could pass by at any time anyway.

After going out today, we unanimously decided to go to the downtown area on the North Shore.

As a meeting point of diverse cultures, the downtown area of ​​the Flower City of Parië not only has the traditional art and food of the Persian Kingdom, but also is influenced by the Persian Demon Realm and all over the world.

The city’s museums, art galleries, theaters and concert halls bear witness to this cultural fusion. The city also has an extremely rich literary scene, with many cafes and bookstores once home to famous writers and thinkers.

“…”

Talia felt that when she and Lanqi were in the South Wantina Territory, they seemed to set out together every morning and send him home after the sun set.

But at that time their purpose was clear.

Either escorting Lanqi or teaching Lanqi how to make cards.

Now the two of them are kind of idle.

In other words, she had no idea why they went out today, or whether their goal of "increasing tacit understanding" could be achieved.

It can't be a date.

"But that's what Professor Bolaio taught."

Lanqi shook his head, his voice quite weak.

It seemed not that difficult for them to work together to make "Kaliera's Shadow Weaving" into a spiritual magic card, but in reality it seemed like an insurmountable hurdle.

It seemed that they had no other way to increase their tacit understanding in cooperative card making. Instead of doing some meaningless exercises, they might as well listen to Professor Bolao and give it a try.

Feeling the cool summer breeze from Parriere caressing his face, Lanqi couldn't help feeling sleepy and yawned lazily.

Last night, it was already early in the morning when they returned to their hotel from Countess Rosalinda's house.

He also planned to sleep until nine or ten before going out, and wanted to take a break occasionally.

But Talia summoned herself out of the magic card state at seven o'clock, waking him up as well.

The reason was that she wanted to go downstairs for breakfast.

Lanqi had no choice but to obey her.

Ever since Talia and the Great Poet of Love merged into one, she would transform back into a magic card and sleep every night, staying in Ranchi's soul space to reduce Ranchi's mana consumption and give him time to recover his mana.

This resulted in her waking up and regaining consciousness, and she would basically wake up Lanqi as well.

"I didn't expect you to sleep in."

Talia muttered to herself.

Originally in Nanwantina Territory, Lanqi would get up early and go out on time every day, but I didn’t expect that this guy actually had difficulty getting up.

"Have you ever thought about who is responsible for my recent consumption of mana? I feel very tired every day and much sleepier than before."

Lanqi lowered his head and asked Talia beside him.

“…”

Talia was silent for a moment.

"Got it. I'll save your magic power in the future."

She said.

Consuming a large amount of mana does cause fatigue.

She also did not think that she had greatly increased his fatigue by using Lanqi's magic power. Instead, she unexpectedly felt that this state of maintaining the body of a demon king and being able to move freely was very comfortable.

"What are we having for lunch?"

Talia followed Lanci as the scenery of the surrounding buildings kept changing.

If you're on a date, it's always a good idea to ask this first.

“…”

Lanqi was slightly stunned.

It was like I didn't expect Talia to ask this question so early in the morning, but it was also like I heard an overly familiar question.

“Le Julvina, located on the second floor of the Rose Tower in Parié, offers a unique location with panoramic views of downtown Parié and premium Poisson cuisine. It is not only a place to enjoy a good meal, but also a great location to experience the iconic landscape of Parié.”

He quickly came to his senses and spoke, "Or Las Terrasses Possen Selection. This restaurant, run by Pascal Barrieux, a famous chef from the Possen Demon Realm, is famous for its innovative Possen Demon Realm cuisine, especially the careful selection of ingredients and creative interpretation of magical dishes, which has won high praise from many foreign customers."

"Of course, there is also Le Meurice Restaurant and Bar as an alternative. This highest-starred restaurant located in the luxury hotel of the same name is well-known in the southern continent for its classical decoration and cuisine. Customers can experience the royal luxury of the Persian Kingdom while enjoying delicious food."

He listed them carefully.

"Okay, you arrange it."

Talia nodded.

It had always been like this, she followed Lanqi.

This guy always knows the way and is very particular about choosing restaurants, so there is no need to worry that he has not planned what they will eat for lunch today.

More importantly, he actually takes the time to plan lunch and dinner arrangements in advance, which makes people feel that he cares.

but.

This was clearly the first time she and he had been out together for a non-business trip, but why did it feel like they had already been on a date? The two of them strolled along the cobblestone road in the early morning until they came out of the streets and their vision gradually widened. The buildings, streets, and even the passers-by in Pariel became the background embellishments of their story.

"By the way, although we are investigating the matter of the curse of hatred of the great wizard Parroni, Sergeant Nigel may be a little busy in the next two days. We may not be able to find him. In the meantime, we can only investigate somewhere else first."

Lanqi conveyed his thoughts to Talia beside him.

Unlike these travelers who came on vacation, Executioner Nigel had a busy military job every day and had almost no private time outside of his vacation time.

"Did you contact him this morning?"

Talia asked him in her mind.

"Yes, he said that he had some matters to discuss in person, and asked us to go to him in two days."

Lanci replied.

Both of them have now discovered that sometimes communicating through thoughts can be quite convenient, secretive and efficient.

"Before this, Executioner Nigel mentioned to me that there was a place where a demon race went berserk some time ago. Not only might there be some clues, but it might also be a high-incidence area for accidents."

Lanqi continued to transmit his thoughts to her.

Yesterday, Countess Rosalinda recommended them to go to the Petras Auction House, where a cursed demon went berserk some time ago.

According to the information provided by Countess Rosalinda, the current investigation results within the Person Kingdom indicate that the curse of [The Hatred of the Great Wizard Parroni] is more likely to be contaminated by force in slave contracts and work contracts, while the public citizen safety contract is actually a type that is more difficult to contaminate.

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

Sometimes Petras trades more than just precious items and materials. Sometimes there are also contracts that are auctioned, where wealthy people can buy the contracts of demon servants and employees.

"Then let's go to the Petras Auction House first, take a look at the materials, do some research, and then go have lunch?"

Talia asked Ranci.

The weekly auction happens to be in the morning.

The schedule for the first half of the day suddenly became clear.

As it turned out, she still had some official business to attend to, and it would feel more natural for her to do it with Lanqi.

She didn't know how to spend the time just to hang out and have fun.

"No problem. Going to the Petras Auction House in Flower City is a good choice recently. There are many festivals and events in the Persian Kingdom this month, and the auction house has become particularly active."

Lanci replied.

Many Shadow World challengers and real-world adventurers are unwilling to sell the precious materials they have obtained to the Southern Continent Card Makers Association.

The reason for this situation is that certain card designers would rather pay a much higher price for some rare materials, but whether they can meet such buyers requires time and luck.

Although the Southern Continent Card Creators Association can often purchase items quickly and at relatively fair prices.

However, the value of particularly precious materials is often very formulaic and no premium is given.

If you are not in a hurry for money, you may be able to sell it at a much higher price by consigning it to a chamber of commerce or auction house.

Therefore, if there were some materials that Countess Rosalinda could not quickly obtain for them from the Southern Continent Card Makers Association, she had to look at other institutions.

"Why aren't you two talking again, meow? Stop using your private channels, okay, meow?"

The cat boss noticed that the two people looked at each other for a long time but didn't say a word, so he knew that the two were chatting privately again.

"The two of us are discussing where to go in the morning, and we have decided to go to the Petras Auction House in Huadu."

Lanqi touched the cat and the boss explained to it.

"Don't get addicted to chatting like this, meow."

Boss Cat looked at the two of them and gave instructions.

It doesn't like the feeling of being excluded.

"How is that possible?"

They both said to it.

"Meow."

The cat owner felt a little relieved for the time being, as he still liked to hear the two people's daily chat.

And if they get used to communicating with their minds, when they return to Boss Cat's restaurant without noticing it, they might look strange to other people, as if they were performing a pantomime. It would be obvious at a glance that they were doing something ambiguous in public again.

"By the way, isn't this auction house a membership-based one? If I don't have a reservation, can I just enter today?"

Boss Cat raised his head and asked.

"No problem. Have you heard Hyperion talk about the Petras Chamber of Commerce?"

Lanqi gently stroked the cat boss.

"I've heard of it, meow. Isn't this Chamber of Commerce quite famous? But it's mainly in the western hub area. The eastern region only has a branch in the capital of the Person Kingdom."

Boss Cat thought for a moment and replied.

"At the second shadow world where Hyperion, Frey and I were, we met three friends from the Kingdom of Canberra at the Temple Villain Dinner. One of them was a young master of the Chamber of Commerce. We three got along very well. Do you remember the name of that young master's Chamber of Commerce?"

Lanqi asked, rubbing small circles on the cat boss's forehead.

At that time, in addition to the three gods, the Saint of Destruction, the soldiers directly under the Destruction Branch and the little princess of the Krelian Empire, there were three teammates who were the young master of the Chamber of Commerce and the guard brothers and sisters from the Western Canberra Kingdom.

"…It seems to be Petras-meow."

The cat boss was shocked.

"His family holds a large portion of the shares in the Petras Group. When we said goodbye in Shadow World, he told me that he would help us register as members and that we could go to the branch of the Petras Chamber of Commerce at will in the future."

Lanci answered.

“Not bad.”

Talia commented from the sidelines.

She found that Lanqi always had some connections, not only in his hometown of Nanwantina, but no matter where he went, he could always quickly integrate into the environment and get along well with the locals.

Maybe he has made a lot of acquaintances in the Northern Continent, which will make it more convenient for him to revisit the Northern Continent in the future.

Although she is definitely more familiar with the Northern Continent.

But after so many years, some places may have changed beyond recognition, and perhaps many old demon world ruins have been occupied by humans and converted into restricted areas, so it is not easy to set foot on the homeland.

"Want to go to the Northern Continent?"

Lanci read Talia's thoughts.

"I haven't been home for a few years, and I'm a little curious about what it's like there."

Talia nodded.

"If you want to go back to the North Continent someday, just go back and take a look. I'm already quite familiar with the Protoss Empire on the south coast."

Lanci said.

"I guessed that. After all, you were able to rescue Antanas and the others from Helrom Prison, so you must have some connections."

Talia said nonchalantly.

But now she has gotten used to and likes life in Ikerita.

Let the past of the demon clan and the demon world fade away.

For a long time in the future, she will not have the intention to return to her hometown.

From now on, the chapters updated around nine o'clock every day will be combined into one chapter. The number of words will remain unchanged but there will be no chapter division. Although there is only one chapter, each chapter will be a large chapter of more than 4,000 words, and occasionally may be updated to 6,000 or more words.

ps: Book recommendation ~ "Is it not possible to marry the queen?"
