Chapter 685 Lan Qi Has Heard of that Fairy Sister

The second floor of the Holy Silver Vine Arena.

Internal office area, executive director's office.

"Let's go talk to Countess Rosalinda about the extraction of our paintings, and then go find Nigel."

Lan Qi pressed the door handle and said to Thalia beside him.

"no problem."

Thalia answered as she hugged the little black cat.

She was quite satisfied with today's harvest, and unexpectedly became a platinum-level card maker. Now Xiubao could brag that her aunt was a very successful person even when she went outside.

open the door.

This is a spacious office of about 100 square meters. The floor is made of oak that is hundreds of years old, and is inlaid with a Poisson-style pattern. The focus on the right is a mahogany desk with a diameter of about two meters and a large sandalwood board. There was an antique oil lamp forged from pure brass placed on the countertop, but except for a few kraft paper documents waiting to be signed, no one was sitting there.

"Lanchi, Tata, here we come."

Rosalinda greeted the two of them on the sofa in the office lounge area and waved them to come and sit down.

“I’m ready for the cheese coconut crisp!”

Next to a floor-standing reading lamp with a lampshade made of colored glass, two very different women were sitting on the sofa.

Rosalinda was still wearing her well-tailored burgundy overalls.

The person who seemed to be talking to her just now was a younger-looking woman. Her waist-length silver-white hair fell down her sides like a waterfall.

"Who is this?"

Lan Qi brought Tata over to sit down and asked Rosalinda.

"My friend, Atio, she also came to see the final round of the platinum level card maker exam today, and as a former champion player of the Holy Silver Vine Arena, she now also has some nominal positions in this arena. For example, I approached her directly for some of my venue collaboration work.”

Rosalinda introduced.

"Miss Atio..."

Thalia instantly remembered who she was.

The most popular event in the Posen Kingdom is the Huadu Holy Grail Demon Competition. Back then, Duke Milaya won the championship as his employer, and after the victory, he returned freedom to the champion messenger.

This demon named Aitiou was discovered by Mi Gaiyahui's eye-consciousness bead and taught her a lot of knowledge and skills, allowing her to grow rapidly and become extremely powerful. She regained her freedom and even became the demon lord of District 9. .

Duke Milaya's reason for participating was just to make Epatia happy. Epatia liked watching games very much, and sometimes she just liked to lie down and watch the excitement without thinking it was a big deal.

Presumably both Rosalinda and Atio are very familiar with the Milayas.

"Lanqi, Tata, I'm sorry that there has been a lot of turmoil in the Posen Demon World recently, otherwise I would definitely entertain you."

Atio said to them.

Although she looked expressionless, her voice was gentle.

Her eyes were a light ice blue, as clear as crystal, and you could vaguely see the radiance flowing in them. She was wearing a pure white lace dress, with the skirt hanging loosely at her sides, thin Like butterfly wings, she only wore a simple silver necklace, and the skin around her neck was as white as snow.

"No, no, nice to meet you."

Lan Qi shook his head and replied.

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.

Tonight, District 10 Lord Perlman's banquet was held, and District 9 Lord Etiou might also attend. Originally, Lan Qi thought they would meet later today, but he didn't expect to meet her here in advance.

But tonight at the banquet, his identity is Rocky McCarthy, and Etiou must not be able to recognize him.

The lord of area 9, Etiou, and the lord of area 10, Pearlman, are both the strongest men in the Posen Kingdom.

There is also a human eighth-level assassin general, but he has already gone to the southern border of the Yaquitan Territory. It seems that the movements of the Creation Empire are becoming more and more confusing, so that the strongest one has to be stationed in the south to take precautions at any time. A military god comparable to a bishop launched an attack.

"Huberlian didn't come with you. It seems I can only have the chance to go to the Kingdom of Hutton to see her again."

Atio said to himself with a slightly regretful look in his eyes.

Although his expression remained unchanged, his eyes were a little twitching as if he was thinking of a lovely person.

"Has Miss Atio seen her?"

Lan Qi asked curiously.

If you already know each other, you will feel like old friends once you meet and chat for a few words.

And Thalia has already begun to silently eat the cheese and coconut puff pastry gift box that Countess Rosalinda pushed to her. In addition to the layers of puff pastry and melt-in-your-mouth cheese, when you bite it, you will find sweet coconut paired with crystal red sweet and sour hawthorn. cake.

"I've met her a few times and I get along pretty well with her."

Etiou talked to Lan Qi quite nostalgically.

Thalia immediately became alert when she heard this, and her eyes moved from Coconut Crisp to Etio. She rarely heard that Hyperion was willing to accept the care of women other than herself.

Her special status seemed to be challenged.

Lan Qi glanced at Talia, meaning to ask her not to panic.

"What do you think of Hyperion?"

Lan Qi asked Atio.

Listening to this, Talia almost asked Lanci the gossipy question "Do you want to be Hyperion's stepmother?"

But he did ask very measured and polite questions.

"I really want to give her a little bit of motherly care..."

Atio said it bluntly.

Thalia's eyes were half complicated.

"It's a pity that although she is a little close to me, it's not much, and I don't understand why."

Atio said again.

At this point, Thalia breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating dessert.

Sure enough, she is the most ideal mother for Hyperion.

Lan Qi seemed to know the answer from the beginning, and did not comfort Talia at all. He just looked at the demon Etiou who was as clear as crystal with a trace of regret.

He knows the answer.

But he couldn't say.

Because if you want to become Hyperion's mother, you must meet three hard conditions, and Etiou only meets two of them.

"..."

The back of Thalia's hand trembled, she was too embarrassed to do it in front of the two people.

This damn Lan Qi didn't say a single word to offend her, but he almost completely offended her with just one look!

Thalia, who suppressed her anger, could only think of the best.

No matter what Lanqi thinks, Hyperian is better than her. It can only be said that Hyperian is more classy than Lanqi.

immediately.

Thalia couldn't help but look at Countess Rosalinda, and then at Etio.

Although it was a bit rude to think this way, she somehow felt that Rosalinda and Etiu had a bit of a congenial mind.

They might have just been holding a meeting to criticize Iphatiya.

"You may have misunderstood. I have no such thoughts about Milaya and Ifatiya. They are purely my teachers and friends. I just want to take care of their children."

Atio said suddenly.

Both Lanqi and Thalia were shocked.

"Can you tell what we two are thinking?"

Thalia asked her after hesitating for a moment.

She read out that what Atio said was true, and that Atio did not have any special thoughts about the Milayas.

"Migaiya and Ifatiya always had eye contact like this. If you look at it for a long time, you can probably guess it."

Atio explained.

Just by saying this, Countess Rosalinda seemed to be hit hard. Countess Rosalinda could only pick up the goblet, her throat aching with bitter wine.

Lanci and Talia were both hard to talk to.

On the one hand, it was a bit embarrassing for their little thoughts to be seen through, and on the other hand, they had unintentionally hurt Countess Rosalinda.

It turns out there is only one losing dog.

This is the cruelest thing.

"Are you two thinking about something very rude?"

Rosalinda felt that Ranchi and Tata's eyes were particularly synchronized at this moment.

These two people treat others as blind every time they look at each other and make small moves. In fact, it is very obvious, right?

"No no."

Both shook their heads.

The two of them were obviously communicating in encrypted form, so why could they always be seen through?

"By the way, do you know any information about Ifatia? We have always wanted to help Hyperion find her mother."

Lan Qi asked Etio and Rosalinda as if he suddenly remembered something serious.

He had previously thought about contacting people who were familiar with Milaya and Ifatia in the Posen Kingdom, and he might be able to get some clues that were not available in Hutton.

And the other party knew that he and Tata were both friends of Hyperion, so he wouldn't be surprised by this question.

"..."

Rosalinda pursed her lips and shook her head. She interacted more with Milaya.

Whenever she saw Epatia, Rosalinda just wanted to hold back her tears and run away.

For her, seeing the two of them kissing without drawing strings was considered a success.

Her eyes were getting redder now.

"Well……"

But when Atio heard this, he opened his lips slightly and sat up straighter.

Something seemed to come to mind.

"Miss Atio, do you know anything?"

Even more concerned than Lanqi, Thalia asked, looking at Etio.

"Sister Ifatia...she once told me that she wanted to go to the ruins of the Kraiju Empire to find an ancient secret potion of potential. Legend has it that the use of that secret potion can shorten lifespan and stimulate potential, and the lifespan shortening is Scaled down, if the demons use it in a certain amount, they will become similar to humans. I guess she wants to grow old with Miaya and cannot accept her watching Miaya grow old alone..."

Atio murmured.

"Then why didn't she go when she told you?"

Lan Qi asked in confusion.

"Because Ifatiya has procrastination, even if she has an idea, she may not implement it immediately."

Or maybe Milaya's care for Ifatiya completely made her unable to move.

It wasn't until Ifatiya had a quarrel with Milaya that she disappeared out of thin air.

Now that Etiou thought about it, he felt that according to Ifatia's character, it was possible that she would leave Milaya to achieve this goal.

"..."

Lanci slowly turned his head and glanced at Thalia.

You demons are really weird.

It seems that Ifatiya left more than ten years ago, and there is a high probability that she ran away from home.

As expected, you can't just find a pure-blood demon wife.

Marry a demon wife and enjoy a single life.

Thalia heard Lan Qi's heart and sneered.

If you want to marry, there is no place to marry.

Except for her being gentle to Lan Qi occasionally, Xiubao has always accommodated Lan Qi. How can any girl tolerate this guy?

He can't get married.

"But human life is very short compared to the demons themselves. Is it really worthwhile for her to spend more than ten years looking for medicine?"

Lan Qi looked at Etiou again and asked.

The past ten years have been an irreparable long time for both Milaya and Hyperion.

Although he could understand what she was thinking, he was neither an Immortal nor she, and he had not experienced her life, so he could not put himself in her shoes and determine her mood at that time.

"Hard to say."

Atio could only comment like this.

If Ifatiya really fell in love with Milaya, she might spend more than ten or twenty years looking for a medicine that would allow her and this human being to spend a real life as a couple. This was a price that she could accept and must pay.

"Shouldn't this medicine be poison to the demons?"

Thalia didn't understand why her sister would spend so much money to find a potion that would hasten her own death.

If it were her, even if this medicine was given to her, she would not choose to drink it.

"I don't understand either, but I believe Sister Yifatiya has figured it out."

Atio shook his head and said.

"..."

Lan Qi didn't know whether the result was a good thing or a bad thing.

If Epatia cannot find this medicine, Hyperion will only have the beginning of a happy family, but not the end.

And whether she can find it or not, she has never been with her mother since she was a child.

But he and Tata did get one useful piece of information.

There is a high probability that Epatia is in the Creja Empire.

On the way to find Milaya, they might be able to find Epatia first.

Several people in the office were chatting.

The sky was covered with clouds, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, a different kind of sunset was vaguely visible.

Dark gray clouds enveloped the entire city, completely blocking the original sky.

It is like the rays of light covered by a thick gray gauze, in which wisps of rich crimson silk threads are vaguely visible, occasionally breaking through the clouds and creating a gap in the gray sky.

"By the way, Senior Sister Rosalinda, is there any way to mail and consign our paintings?"

Lan Qi looked at the sky, estimated the time to meet up with Nigel, and asked Countess Rosalinda.

The ownership rights of the works completed during the examination belong to the candidates themselves after paying the material fee.

"As for that painting, there is currently no better way to send it back to the Kingdom of Hutton. Now that we are facing a war that may break out at any time, the risk is much higher than before. Multinational transportation companies are no longer willing to sign high-cost insurance policies, so you have to take it back in person. "

Rosalinda said to them.

"Can we ask Senior Sister Rosalinda to keep it safe for us during this period?"

Seeing Tata there concentrating on eating pastries, Lan Qi made a decision for both of them.

"It's possible, but I would rather put it in an official institution in Parrieu than in the Count's Palace of Asturias."

Rosalinda nodded hesitantly.

"When will you return to Hutton?"

she asked again.

"Maybe two or three days, maybe a week?"

Lan Qi replied uncertainly.

As for the rare materials he and Talia needed to reconcile [Calliera's Shadow Weave], Countess Rosalinda and the Battisti family had almost completed the acquisition for them, including several pink sacred-level items. thing.

However, at present, the cooperation between the two of them in card making is still in a state of flux, and there is always a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Originally, they planned to rent a card making workshop in Parrieux to complete the card making, but now they may have to return to the Kingdom of Hutton first. Long term plan.

In the temple of Huadu Parrieu, there is an epic statue of will and love. You can obtain time-limited spiritual blessings through prayers. There is also a small probability of achieving a slight success rate increase in the production of spiritual magic cards.

So their initial plan was to complete the card production by the end of August.

It seems impossible now.

They would be lucky if they didn't quarrel while making cards.

"Then I suggest that you put this painting on display at the Platinum Palace for a limited time during your stay in Poison? And there will also be a certain amount of income. I can help you arrange everything with the Platinum Palace. good."

Rosalinda suggested.

Platinumson Palace itself is the best security location for valuable artworks, much safer than Earl's Palace.

There is always a saying in Huadu Parrieux that even if the Senate is breached, the Platinum Palace will still be impregnable.

Of course, no one is crazy enough to actually attack the Senate.

"no problem."

Lan Qi replied simply.

Putting this thing in Countess Rosalinda's house would also cause trouble for her. It would be better to go to Platinumson Palace for free, where you don't have to pay the storage fee and can still get the exhibition fee.

"By the way, is there anything else you can tell us about Ifatiya?"

Thalia asked as she picked up another piece of cheese and coconut puff pastry.

She and Lan Qi could sit here and chat for a while longer.

On the one hand, she wanted to know information, but on the other hand, she really missed her sister too much. Just hearing about the trivial details of her sister's life in those years made her very satisfied.

"If there is anything perfect in the world, it must be Sister Epatia."

As if Aiteo had found a soulmate, his body leaned forward half a minute.

"?"

Thalia was stunned by Atio's sudden enthusiasm.

Atio, who originally seemed a bit aloof, now has eyes full of longing.

"Let's put aside how pretty Sister Ifatia is. Her sleeping beauty look not only has a dreamy gentleness, but also has fascinating intelligence and cuteness. It is impossible to imagine that an eighth-level demon would be like her. It feels like she should be far away, but she is right in front of me, accompanying me. She is so lazy and comfortable, as if reminding the world that true beauty does not need to be deliberately publicized, and her restrained talent can always easily solve all problems. She is also a little naughty and cute. She is really a princess!"

Aitio was a little excited and clenched her fists when she spoke.

However, she soon realized that she was a little too much and coughed twice.

"..."

Lanqi saw the Countess Rosalinda opposite her, who was desperate and tilted her head to drink, and felt that it was too cruel for her.

Previously, Rosalinda would complain to them hysterically, but now she could only cry silently.

It turned out that Aitio was a little fan of Ifatia.

It is understandable. When Etiou was still a free man, Ifatia was a great demon that the Person Kingdom could not see at all. It was normal for Etiou to admire her.

"But sister Ifatia said that she had a sister who was her ideal perfect princess. She had been clinging to her sister since she was a child. Unfortunately, she really couldn't become a demon princess like her sister."

Etiou suddenly thought of it and said to the two,

"I can't imagine what kind of existence the more perfect Princess Talia that sister Ifatia always talks about is."

"..."

Lanqi and Talia looked at each other again after hearing this.

The sister that Ifatia mentioned, isn't that Talia?

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Lanqi asked curiously.

Talia also cares about how Ifatia evaluated herself back then.

"Sister Ifatia said that sister Talia is very powerful, much stronger than her. After a hundred years, I'm afraid she has become unimaginably strong and will never be as lazy as her and stand still."

Etiou said.

"Puff..."

Lan Qi couldn't hold it back for a moment. Before he could say anything, he coughed twice as if he was stopped, and then stopped talking.

Etiou looked at Lan Qi, who was staring at him, in confusion, not knowing what was wrong.

"No, don't worry about us."

Lan Qi took a deep breath and said.

"And it is said that sister Talia is very self-disciplined. She abstains from sweets, and when she has a rare opportunity to enjoy desserts, she only allows herself to eat the most high-end ones. She will never indulge like the fallen demons. A sister with such a firm will will definitely carry out the desire to restore the country and will not easily forget the long-cherished wish of the demons."

Etiou nodded and continued to preach to the two.

Talia stopped biting the half-bitten pastry in her right hand.

She felt that it was not right to finish it, nor to put it down, and she was struggling and tormented in her heart.

Lan Qi on the side was already desperately lowering his head, and his shoulders kept shaking.

It seemed that it was very painful to hold back his laughter.

The more Talia thought about it, the angrier she got.

If she held the coconut biscuits, she couldn't beat Lanqi.

If she put down the coconut biscuits, she couldn't forgive Lanqi.

Finally, Talia couldn't stand it anymore, so she chose to finish the coconut biscuits and then pinched Lanqi. She was not so shy at first, but because of Lanqi's smile, she felt that her face might be a little red.

"Sister Ifatia also said that Princess Talia, like a queen, would never rely on any other demons. As a princess, she is dignified and reserved, and would only allow the most favorite demons to get close to her, such as Ifatia."

Talia immediately retracted her hand that pinched Lanqi's waist, and she felt very uncomfortable listening to Etiou's words.

She now felt that she couldn't reveal her identity in front of Etiou even if she died.

Otherwise, she would really lose face.

"Lanqi, I heard that you have been to the Northern Continent. Have you heard of Talia?"

Etiou finished talking about Princess Talia and looked at Lanqi and asked.

She heard from Rosalinda that Lanqi had been to the North Continent to do a project for Ikrit Academy.

And in the North Continent, there might be something about Talia, because besides what Ifatia told her, Etiou could only see the name of Sister Talia in the history books that came from the North Continent.

"I did hear about that fairy sister."

Lanqi tried his best to keep his expression.

He almost made his ears red from trying to hold back his laughter.

"What did you hear about her like?"

Etiou asked Lanqi with great interest.

As soon as Lanqi opened his mouth, he felt a gaze staring at him.

It seemed that Talia was warning him not to say anything.

Lanqi suddenly felt choked.

He could neither speak the Eight Characters Mantra nor lie now.

"She is gorgeous, rational and charming. She is a demon who is extremely evil and crazy. She is even more harmful to the world than her talent, but she can control her heart and desires. Compared with using force to solve problems, she is better at breaking through the enemy's heart and giving the enemy the most cruel curse and torture!"

Lanqi directly recited the words of his former student Zestira.

The little dragon student he met when he first went to the North Continent and was still a tutor was Talia's number one fan.

"You are worthy of being my sister's sister."

Aitio immediately clasped his hands together, his eyes full of respect.

"?!"

Talia felt like she was going crazy.

How come even the students in the Northern Continent thought so?

Because it was the truth.

It meant that someone in the Northern Continent did think so!

And Talia was not sure if Lanqi had ruined her reputation in the Northern Continent!

After all, Antanas almost mistook Lanqi for her husband.

"It's getting late, we'll leave first, thank you for your hospitality!"

Talia grabbed Lanqi's collar and stood up with Lanqi when she stood up, saying goodbye to Rosalinda and Etiou who were sitting across from the sofa.

She knew that Etiou was a white piece, but Lanqi was a black piece. If they continued to talk, Etiou might be turned into a super black piece by Lanqi!
