The voice was very similar to what I heard in my dream just now, but it was much more cordial.
"Well, what time is it now?"
Lan Qi quickly shifted his focus away from her and asked.
"A little after four-fifty."
Thalia replied.
"Ah, have I slept for so long?"
Unexpectedly, Lan Qi blinked to make his vision clearer, and looked across the river again.
The wind blew over, and the golden color filled the entire field of vision.
That is a dazzling mountain of gold and silver treasures——
Under the setting sun, the entire southern bank of the sparkling flower capital Parrieux is there.
"Hoo, he's resurrected!"
Slowly standing up from the bench, Lan Qi stretched out greatly, trying to dispel the remaining sleepiness in his body.
"Did you dream about something?"
Thalia looked up at him.
"No, no, I was half asleep, half awake, I can't remember clearly."
Lan Qi shook his head.
It was so strange, he felt like he was in reverse with Thalia in the dream, and he turned out to be her natural familiar.
And what does "my cute kitten" mean?
How could he call Talia, a tigress, like that.
"My cute kitten?"
Thalia narrowed her eyes in confusion and muttered to herself.
"Meow meow, are you calling me?"
Boss Cat immediately raised his head and asked in his childish voice.
"Nothing, nothing."
Lan Qi turned around and waved.
Sure enough, the legends of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny are all lies, and this dream is too fake.
Although it is not ruled out that he and Thalia will have some illusions in the future when they use [Kaliela's Shadow Weaver] to collaborate on card creation.
But it’s unlikely that this will be the follow-up to this ridiculous dream.
Chapter 678 Lan Qizhi meets the red-haired boy again
The next day.
Monday in Parrieux.
At night, looking up at the sky, the stars are shining brightly.
"It's almost autumn."
One of the great benefits of the open-air arena is that you can look up and see the stars at any time.
Even so, he didn't have any special feelings.
It's late August.
This slightly hot season is almost over.
The St. Silver Vine Arena in District 6 on the north shore of Parrieu, the capital of Poisson, is not too far from Count Baptiste's Palace in District 4 of Parrieu, a prosperous area.
Today, after Ranchi finished his day's work at Earl Baptiste's Mansion, he was called by Christina, the eldest lady of the Earl's family, and came to this arena to play an agent game.
Because in the new week, the contract that "any family member can use the housekeeper for up to two additional hours per week" was also refreshed, and Christina used it without hesitation.
In her opinion, if she was lucky, she might be able to pay the housekeeper Rocky enough liquidated damages today.
Unfortunately, the truth is cruel.
Today they only played a hired game and had no games.
It's not that no one is willing to hire Rocky, but that no opponent is willing to give it away. Today Rocky won easily again.
At least this week, it looked like she had no chance of firing the butler and would have to keep him working from home for a week.
"Anyway, we have saved more than 30,000 pounds, and we will be able to cash it out soon."
Christina was waiting in front of the fence of the spectator stand in the branch library and observed the expression of the brown-haired and green-eyed butler beside her.
Even now, she was vaguely worried that the housekeeper was lying to her.
By the time she takes out 50,000 pounds, the other party may not leave.
"Don't worry, miss, I will keep my word."
Lan Qi sighed softly, with a helpless smile in his eyes, and said.
The two of them had been waiting in the Holy Silver Vine Arena after finishing the mercenary match.
Christina was looking forward to someone like the hook-nosed wealthy businessman from last time entrusting them to play the game.
I always feel like I might miss some opportunities if I just leave like this.
So, now she can only sit in a spectator stand in the arena branch, resting her hands on the railings, staring at the sky in boredom.
The special feature of this Holy Silver Vine Arena is the movable roof, which can be opened or closed as needed. Even if you get tired of watching the game, when the weather is good, you can still see the bright starry sky from a panoramic perspective at any time.
The competition of other competitors is still going on. The surrounding auditoriums are layered on top of each other, extending upward to the top of the arena. Each layer can provide the best viewing angle. The cheers and shouts in a branch hall are gathered from time to time. It's deafening.
Just waited for a long time.
Except for a reporter who came over to find out about the villainous daughter, and was dealt with professionally by Lan Qi, no employer ever came to discuss employment matters with Christina.
"Miss Christina, it seems no one is fighting us."
Lan Qi waited on the left side behind Christina and spoke.
"Sigh, it's hard to find players willing to challenge you now."
Christina let go of the railing and finally shook her head and recognized the reality.
First of all, even if there are players willing to play in the points match, it will be more challenging to try against Rocky. The odds are one-sided and there is no money to be made from betting.
Secondly, if someone is looking for Rocky in a proxy match, the opponent will not be willing to fight.
Because at present, it is basically possible to see what level Rocky is.
If you come to Level 6 and fight him, you will be given money.
In fact, the reputation of Rocky McCarthy, the butler of Earl Baptiste's family, has been fermenting in the past two days. Really interested competition commissions may be sent to the Earl's Mansion on weekdays.
If you can't wait for it at other times, it is even more difficult to encounter the commission in the one or two hours in this arena.
"Rocky, can you reach level seven?"
Christina turned around and looked at the housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time behind her and asked.
She has actually been curious about this question for a long time, but she has never dared to ask.
Inquiring into a strong man's strength is like asking a girl's age. It may be considered offensive.
"You can fight, but you can't win."
Lan Qi thought for a moment and replied.
The output based on status is greatly reduced.
The main reason is that the mana supply is insufficient, and Tata is not a strong attack type. If he fails to defeat the opponent within a minute or two, he will definitely lose.
"Then, if you encounter an eighth-level enemy..."
Christina's heartbeat quickened and she tried without hope.
Now that she had spoken, she might as well be brave enough to ask the question, not knowing whether Butler Rocky would answer her.
"Run, turn around and run."
Lan Qi smiled sincerely.
"Oh!"
Then Christina understood.
I actually have a seventh-level butler in my family!
The seventh level is not a matter of price, it is simply not available.
You must know that the entire Posen Kingdom currently only has three people in the eighth level.
Apart from them, the seventh level is invincible.
Under normal circumstances, no strong person would enter a fighting state in the core urban area of Palieu, because it would trigger the full suppression of the city defense barrier, so the usefulness of force in such areas is often reduced to a minimum.
But Christina, who often pays attention to the news, has a premonition that things are going to change in the Southern Continent recently.
Although it was not felt in the flower capital Parrieux in the northern part of the kingdom, people at the southern border of Poisson were said to be panicked, and many announcements were issued one after another.
Consulates in various countries are also notifying citizens abroad to return home as soon as possible in the near future.
"My lady is taking advantage of the school vacation to return to the Posen Kingdom from the Aloran Kingdom. On the one hand, she simply wants to come back, but on the other hand, she is a little worried. I suggest that if you notice that something is wrong with the current situation, you can actually apply for a leave of absence. One year, stay in Parrieux first.”
Lan Qi observed Christina's expression and said to her.
Christina turned around in surprise and looked up at Lan Qi, as if her thoughts were being read.
"I don't know what the specific information received by the United Kingdom Council is, but I hope nothing will happen in the future."
She breathed a sigh of relief and answered calmly.
Whether it is the Creation Empire in the kingdoms or the United Kingdom Council in the Creation Empire, they all have certain intelligence sources. Often the intelligence from the United Kingdom Council will not deviate too much. During this period, the Southern Continent may approach a critical point at any time. Clicked.
