Don't confiscate my citizenship

The paths of Parrieux are filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers and morning dew, as well as the aroma of roasting coffee beans coming from the cafe in the distance.

The two of them walked and had nothing to talk about.

"Meow meow……"

The cat boss looked up and observed Lanqi and Thalia.

It seemed that the two of them really had no communication with each other this time. They simply didn't know what to talk to each other about.

It remembered that Lan Qi taught Loren the last time that on a first date, if you are not sure about the other person's interests and hobbies, it is best not to start the topic rashly to avoid falling into a dead end of conversation that may be embarrassing for both parties.

Even if you have nothing to say, never ask low-level questions such as "What is your favorite color" or "What is your favorite food?" If you die after answering the basic topics, it will only make it more embarrassing.

But at this moment.

Lanci understood Talia's interests and hobbies very well.

He could only talk about food.

So now he seemed to have reached a dead end, and he didn't know how to talk to Thalia for a while.

It can only be said that Teacher Dalan really can't cope with Tata.

Tata is different from ordinary girls.

People began to get busy along the streets of the old town that the two passed by. Some Parrieux people hurried to work, and some stopped in front of the street shops. In the small shops, the bakers were making freshly baked croissants and soft French bread. The bag is handed to the early riser. The steaming, golden bread is still shiny with tiny sugar particles.

The two walked quietly along the Selena River, with the breeze blowing and ripples appearing on the water. Occasionally, one or two white pigeons danced, freely drawing arcs in the air, and then landed lightly on the bridge railings. Quietly looking at the city in the morning.

"Lan Qi, what is your favorite food?"

Thalia suddenly spoke.

It seems that she also felt that it was a bit awkward for the two of them to be unable to speak for a long time. It was not like a date that Professor Polao said could improve tacit understanding, so she decided to take the initiative.

"...?"

Lan Qi looked at Tata, as if his brain was short-circuited.

"By the way, is this really the first time for both of us to hang out together?"

He frowned.

I always feel that the sense of déjà vu is too strong.

It was like living this day in a dream.

"Technically speaking, yes."

Thalia was convinced.

She and Lan Qi had either had a meal together before, or stayed together for official duties, or they had met by chance. This was the first time they had made an appointment to go out aimlessly early in the morning.

"It's weird."

Lan Qi touched his head.

"Why, are you bored with me?"

Thalia still had very few questions in her voice.

"Not really, I just feel like I know you too well, so I'm thinking about what I should talk to you about."

Lan Qi bluntly stated his true thoughts.

"What do you know?"

Thalia looked at the road ahead and spoke calmly, without a trace of ripples in her voice.

She didn't like that Lan Qi always seemed to understand her very well.

"Know what you want to eat every morning, noon, afternoon and evening."

he said.

"..."

Thalia's unpretentious answer made Thalia a little angry, but also a little unable to be angry.

Because she really felt that if someone could reach this point, she would be very satisfied, and it would also be a hard-won friendship.

"How long until the destination?"

The strange and beautiful environment slowly passed through Thalia's eyes. She didn't know the way, but she was sure that Lan Qi had carefully read the map of Huadu Parrieux.

On both sides of the street, the green branches and leaves of the plane trees sway gently in the breeze, telling every passerby their eternal voice.

"About half an hour? How about that."

Ranch asked.

If Thalia thinks it's too long, they can also use another mode of transportation.

"Good."

Thalia replied.

The last time Ms. Zhu Zhu went on a date, Ms. Zhu Zhu’s partner was very reliable in this regard. The girl could follow him with peace of mind during the date without having to worry about route planning.

Lan Qi seems to have this rare advantage for boys.

"But why do you know the way?"

Thalia felt that it was okay to be in Icerita. When he arrived in a foreign country, he could find the correct route quickly without looking at the map.

"Because I have this book."

Lan Qi took out a booklet from his pocket, "A Map of Huadu Even a 3-Year-Old Child Can Understand".

"As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. Now I know how to read a map by myself."

Since it’s not too far away and it’s still early before the auction starts, you can take a walk to admire the flower capital Parrieux and check out if there are any good dessert shops on the street.

The most important thing is that they are both very leisurely, and are more accustomed to nature than a fast-paced life.

"That's right. It seems you don't need me to teach you some things."

Thalia commented.

Although I don’t know who helped Lan Qi develop these excellent habits, it’s good as long as she can enjoy them.

"I think the food in Posen Kingdom should satisfy you quite a bit."

Lanci mentioned.

The cat boss was shocked in its hands.

If you encounter a topic like "What do you like to eat" that will only end the conversation, just change it to a similar topic.

"Then introduce me to Poison cuisine."

Thalia spoke lightly.

She decided to test how much homework he had done.

Although she and Lan Qi were not dating for the purpose of Miss Zhu Zhu, she would not be angry even if Lan Qi was perfunctory, but she was curious about how much Lan Qi cared about her.

“Then you’ve asked the right person. The cuisine of Poison Kingdom is famous for its innovation. As the heart of Poison, Huadu Parrieu provides many gourmet experiences from luxury restaurants to alley restaurants and dessert shops. "

Lan Qi suddenly became serious and explained to Thalia beside him,

"Broadly speaking, the cooking of Posen cuisine emphasizes the use of seasonal and high-quality ingredients, including fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and seafood. Such picky ingredients ensure the taste and nutrition of the dishes, from basic frying to From sautéing and roasting to more complex cooking methods like braising, braising and dipping, every technique is designed to maximize the flavor of the ingredients.”

He spoke and gestured as if giving a lecture to Thalia.

And Talia was listening with great concentration at this moment, nodding slightly from time to time.

Boss Cat looked at these two people like this.

Chatted for more than ten minutes.

They all still looked interested.

One talks and the other listens, focusing entirely on the other without even looking at the road.

"Tata, let me tell you, sauces and seasonings are indispensable to Poisson cuisine. They are used to increase the taste level and richness of the dishes. In addition to the five mother sauces, there are countless variant sauces, which are pursued after seasoning. A perfect balance of flavours, textures and colours, each region of Poisson has its own unique cuisine, from seafood in the north to Mediterranean flavors in the south, as well as local dishes in the centre. Its rich culture and diversity can be seen in the diversity of cuisine. geographical features.”

The famous Poisson-style pastries, cheeses and drinks are not to be missed.

At this point, Lan Qi finally finished speaking, and Talia was already feeling a little hungry.

"pass the exam."

Thalia praised.

"...You seem to seldom praise me."

Lan Qi looked slightly stunned.

He didn't expect Thalia to say something out of the blue.

"Hmm."

Thalia didn't answer, just hummed from the corner of her mouth.

Although his face was still as expressionless as ever.

But he seems to be in a better mood than before.

"You two, Meow, forgot about me while we were chatting."

Boss Cat looked at the two of them and said.

"You don't speak for yourself, don't you?"

Lan Qi looked down at the black bread ball in his hand.

"..."

The cat boss is hard to say.

The two people were immersed in the situation just now, and it was not like anyone could intervene and influence them.

Maybe if you want to succeed in cooperative card making, you have to maintain the selfless state of each other just now.

"Meow meow meow, at the Huadu Auction House we are going to visit later, can we also buy work contracts for demon employees and the like?"

The cat boss decided to change the topic to a topic that he could also talk about.

"Uh, do you want demon employees?"

Lan Qi asked with some uncertainty.

"Yeah, meow, after seeing Lissance, I felt that our restaurant could actually hire a demon chef to add some special dishes."

Boss Cat nodded.

It used to be very afraid of demons.

After contacting Lissandra in the airship, she discovered that there were such docile and friendly demons.

Now it is a little tempted to recruit employees who master demon cooking skills and bring them back.

The most important thing is that this kind of professional demon chef from the Posen Kingdom might be very good at making magical dishes with added attributes! It also wants to have magic dishes in its shop. Occasionally, if it looks around, learns, and asks questions, it may become a kitten who can master magic dishes!

Recruiting a demon shouldn't be a problem. Their restaurant still has a relatively high proportion of human employees, and it won't be heavily investigated by the Hutton Security Bureau, the Food Business Hygiene Department, and the United Kingdom Council during this year's annual inspection.

"Lan Qi, will there be any problem with bringing the demons back?"

Boss Cat asked Lanqi about the legal risks with some concern.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong and is exposed, it will have a great impact on its reputation. It also wants to live in the Kingdom of Hutton for a long time.

"Recruit, whatever you want, no problem."

Lan Qi said while stroking it.

At this point, it doesn't matter if we recruit a hundred demons.

"That's great nya!"

The cat boss was rolling with joy.

"Why are the activities in Posen Kingdom in August related to the recent popularity of Petras Auction House?"

Thalia walked aside and murmured in confusion.

Last night, she and Lanci heard Countess Rosalinda say at the Count's Palace of Asturias that transactions at the Petras Auction House were very popular during August, and they might be surprised if they went there. , such as encountering rare treasures for sale.

Except for the delicacies of Posen Kingdom, she didn't care much about other things about Posen Kingdom before setting off.

"On the one hand, it is the Posen National Festival and the Platinum Level Card Maker Examination, which attracted a large number of card makers to watch, which also drove consumption. The other point is that it is the final transfer period of the Huadu Holy Grail Familiar Competition. Many have Contracts of potential new players and contracts of more famous familiars may be sold there."

Lanci answered Thalia.

Basically, as long as she didn't ask a question like "Why are we in prison" that stuck in his throat, he would answer her seriously.

The upcoming Huadu Holy Grail Demon Competition was originally being discussed this year as to whether to cancel it temporarily.

Since almost all participating demons have private contracts, which are more likely to be affected by curses than citizen safety contracts, the competition is also more likely to have hidden dangers of cursed demons going crazy on site and causing safety issues, according to the analysis of the Parrieux Municipal Government. The government is preparing to stop it.

But the intention of the Senate seemed to be to allow the contest to continue.

As long as the person behind the spread of the taboo curse dares to take action, Posen must grasp some clues about the current situation.

"The curses of the great wizard Parroni have occurred frequently in the Posen Kingdom recently. If the main messenger wants to destroy the relationship between humans and demons in the Posen Kingdom, these activities are an excellent stage."

Thalia said, crossing her arms.

She felt like there was a line connecting them. Although she didn't have a definite clue yet, she could probably sense some cause and effect.

"I will buy the tickets and we can go see it then."

It was Lanci's plan to go to this game.

The history of the Huadu Holy Grail Competition they are talking about can also be traced back to the period of King Lanyi XIV of Posen, with a history of about three hundred years.

Initially, the competition was developed as a way to resolve business disputes, avoiding open violence and possible damage to commercial activities.

Businesses or merchants would hire messengers to fight on their behalf in competitive tournaments, and in this way disputes and competitions were settled, with the winner of the tournament deciding the outcome of the dispute.

This system gradually developed into a huge league project, involving not only commercial disputes, but also a contest for power in the Posen Kingdom.

"Can."

Thalia was very satisfied with the experience of having someone organize everything for the trip.

Their trip to the Posen Kingdom felt like official business and travel. It seemed to be dangerous, but it was actually very relaxing.

"Help me, help me buy a ticket too, meow."

The cat boss said, fearing that the two of them would leave it behind.

"Know it."

Lanci promised.

The rules of the Flower Capital Holy Grail Familiar Competition are quite simple and straightforward. The main purpose is to determine the winner. The specific rules may vary from competition to competition, but the core principles remain the same.

Participants must represent a business or individual, these participants are called "employers", and each employer can choose a messenger to participate in the competition as their representative.

"Among them, the messengers can be either demons or humans. There are also some elves, orcs and other rare races that are rare in Posen Kingdom. However, in recent years, demon messengers are the most numerous. Those famous players are basically long-term. I will keep fighting for my employer."

Ranchi told Boss Cat and the others about what he learned about the game.

The competition is basically without rules and allows the use of any fighting skills and methods. The purpose of the competition is to make the opponent lose the ability to fight until one party is unable to continue fighting or clearly expresses surrender. Later, after the artificial shadow world was introduced, the casualty rate also changed. also.

Of course, there are also employers who are rich but are not good at training messengers. They will hire coaches and competition training teams to train the messengers they have.

The outcome of the competition will directly affect the business interests between the employers, the outcome of negotiations, and even the ownership of the contract according to the agreement.

There will be a knockout competition every August, and the two major countries in the eastern region, the Kingdom of Aloran and the Kingdom of Hutton, will broadcast it.

"Don't go to the event, meow. I'm afraid that High Priest Loren will recall the incident of criticism in the Icerite City Hall notice last year. If Xiubao sees you on the screen, he probably won't be able to sit still."

Boss Cat jumped on Lan Qi's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

It already recognized Ranch as a legendary coach.

"Don't worry, the fierce competitive competition is over. Now it's time for me to learn how to enjoy it calmly."

Lan Qi touched the cat's head and replied.

"..."

Thalia also remembers that day deeply.

Because she was too afraid of being discovered about her relationship with Lan Qi and being mistaken for a demon, she was expelled from the kingdom as a resident and left early in the process.

It turned out that her decision was right, and it turned out to be a big accident and made the news.

She didn't know how Lan Qi trained five cheerful third-year students into the Demon King's Army's special killing force.

But the help of great poets is definitely indispensable.

Now that the beloved poet has been banned, Lan Qi will definitely not be able to survive.

She decided to believe Lan Qi's words for the time being.

"Back then, it was said that Duke Milaya won the championship as his employer, and after the victory, he returned freedom to the champion messenger."

Lan Qi suddenly thought of it and said to Thalia and Cat Boss.

As Countess Rosalinda said, this country is full of legends left by Duke Milaya, and it would be a pity not to bring Hyperion here.

Of course, Hyperion may not have any feelings when she comes. She always feels that her father is just average.

"Why does he want to participate?"

Thalia felt that Hyperion's Duke's family was not short of money at all.

The annual knockout tournament is mainly an event to determine the value of the players. The 3,000 pounds bonus and free choice of pink sacred materials for winning the championship are actually not much for the employer, and they are not very attractive to Duke Milaya.

Although there were prizes such as honors and medals, Hyperion also told her that the Duke's Palace could hardly let go of these things. Hyperion's father never cared about reputation, otherwise he would not marry Yifa. Tia.

"Duke Milaya said in the interview that the reason was very simple. He just wanted to please Miss Epatia. She likes to watch games very much."

Lan Qi spread his hands and replied.

"oh."

That's understandable to Thalia.

Ifatiya does sometimes enjoy watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. Anyway, wherever she lies, it doesn't matter to her as long as her house doesn't blow up.

"Then his messenger is a demon?"

Thalia asked again.

It seems that hiring demons to do this kind of work is very popular in this country, so even the competition is called the Demon Contest.

"She is indeed a demon, I think her name is Atio. She was not very favored at the time, but Mi Gai Yahui discovered her talent and taught her a lot of knowledge and skills, which allowed her to grow rapidly and become extremely powerful. , and finally won the championship all the way.”

Ranch told the story he learned this morning when looking through the championship record books,

"It is said that Migaiya's partner messenger is now a powerful lord in the Posen Demon Realm. She originally became a slave after being convicted, but she regained her freedom more than ten years ago and started a new life."

The Posen Demon Realm now belongs to several demon lords. They are almost the highest decision-makers in the Posen Demon Realm and are directly connected with the Senate of the Posen Kingdom.

For example, the former teacher of Nigel the Executioner was also a lord of Posen Demon Realm.

"Wait a minute, then what if she fell in love with Milaya because of this kindness and experience but couldn't say it, and Miliya helped her just because she wanted to please Ifatiya, what would she do? Mood?"

Boss Cat interrupted Lan Qi and asked.

"Uh... probably not."

Lan Qi thought about it and felt that Boss Cat was too romantic.

"This is too twisted."

Probably not.

Based on Countess Rosalinda's description of Milaya and Iphatia's daily life together, he couldn't imagine what it would be like for her every day if the messenger really had heavy feelings for Milaya. torture.

And there can't be any other women in Poson who want to be Hyperion's mother.

The demon named Etiou might meet the two criteria of "having a demonic aura" and "being aloof", but he lacks the most crucial "eight-hundred-year charm".

It will be directly rejected by Hyperion.

"..."

Thalia stared at Lanqi, pressing her thumb on the knuckle of her index finger, making a slight knuckle sound.

There don't seem to be any police around here.

"But Miss Kaliela is really charming. Many big demons in the demon world listened to her at that time, which is not comparable to ordinary demons."

Lan Qi suddenly sighed.

"..."

After hearing that Lan Qi was talking about the Fallen Lord Kaliela, Thalia let go of her hand.

And the implication of Lan Qi’s words——

Kaliela is charming, and so is she.

"You two are chatting privately again, meow!"

When the cat boss heard Lan Qi's sudden incoherent words and the expressive changes in their facial expressions, he knew he was being squeezed out again!
