……
On a cruise ship from the North Continent to the South Continent.
Silvery moonlight shone through the porthole onto the soft carpet of the penthouse suite.
"Do not!!"
Sigrid woke up suddenly in her big bed and uttered a short scream.
She struggled to sit up, her slender fingers tightly grasping the silk sheets, her chest heaving violently and gasping for breath.
Sweat soaked her soft long hair, which stuck to her pale forehead.
After a long while, Sigrid seemed to suddenly wake up, closed her eyes in annoyance, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm her violently beating heart.
The quiet surroundings and familiar furnishings reminded her that this was just a nightmare.
"call."
Sigrid shook her head.
The life she lives now is Sigley's dream, and the world where Sigley lives is her nightmare.
Even though she had never seen a vampire in the world, she felt that they were extremely terrifying.
Ever since she parted with the Son of God, she has always been summoned by this kind of dream, or it could be said that it was like an endless dream.
She threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and walked barefoot to the window.
The cool breeze from the marble floor made her shiver.
Through the window, the dark blue sea at night is endless, and the faint moonlight is dancing on the waves.
Occasionally, faint lights shone through the windows of other rooms, like fireflies floating on the sea.
Sigrid stared blankly at the quiet night outside the window, and the remaining fear in her dream finally slowly faded away.
She realized she was on a luxury cruise ship, enjoying a wonderful vacation.
The nightmare was over and she was back to the beauty of reality.
Until a long time passed.
"Even in a dream, I believe you will come to save me."
Sigrid murmured confidently, letting her cheeks bathe in the silver moonlight.
This chapter is a free chapter to add to Sigrid's chapters and describes the content of the previous chapter to some extent.
The previous chapter is not available at any time. It can only be posted on a special interface when there is an event at the end of the month. The author's backend cannot see it, and I can't modify it even if I want to.
The content of the previous chapter itself is some very ordinary gossip. Since it is not important in itself and I thought that not many people would want to read it, I used it to test the activity (sad)
Chapter 710 Lan Qi will no longer contribute to the empire
The mountain breeze caressed the scarlet and golden woods. In this season of falling leaves, the Brilda magic rail train once again traveled through the rolling Langar Mountains near the capital of Creja.
Lan Qi is sitting in cubicle No. 404, undergoing investigation.
He looked a little tired, but still calm.
Of course, at this moment he was already sitting opposite the original seat.
That's where teacher Landry Wassington sits.
"Yes, I was the one who defeated the enemies on the train."
Lan Qi answered the questions of the investigating officer sitting opposite him honestly.
"I can only say that the situation at that time was unbearable. Where has it been? In the capital of Brilda, there are still people who dare to openly challenge the authority of our empire! I cannot tolerate letting her run rampant for a second. I must let her know what the unparalleled imperial power and imperial faith are.”
He couldn't help but tap the table.
This look of uprightness, hatred of evil, and concealment of merit and fame made the officers opposite him nod repeatedly.
Because nothing the young man said seemed like lies.
His attitude is enthusiastic and sincere. Sitting across from him, anyone would feel ashamed because they are also members of the Empire. As an Imperial soldier, their love and belief in the Empire are not as strong as that of such a young man.
"Then Mr. Landry, my commander may come to ask you questions later. I don't mean to embarrass you. It's just that you are the central figure in the incident and we need your cooperation so that we can get more clues about the enemy. ”
The investigating officer put away his notebook, stood up and said to Lan Qi.
"no problem."
Lan Qi nodded and watched the investigating officer leave.
The carriage walkways were covered with scorch marks. If it hadn't been covered with a solid enough protective barrier, the train might have derailed long ago and disappeared among the mountains.
Capital garrison troops shuttled back and forth in the carriage, comforting the frightened passengers and collecting evidence for investigation.
As an elite force guarding the center of the empire, the Capital Garrison is famous for its rigorous selection and brutal training, and is specifically responsible for the security and defense of the capital.
Among the several departments under the headquarters, the "Prætorian Guards" serve as the emperor's personal bodyguards and also guard important places such as palaces and government agencies.
The "Gendarme Department" is responsible for maintaining social order in the capital area, suppressing resistance activities, and supervising the words and deeds of officials and people.
The "Air Defense Force" manages the air defense warning system, operates the capital's air defense forces, and resists enemy air attacks. The "Fortress Garrison" guards several large fortresses on the periphery of the capital, forming the capital's first line of defense.
This time there was an accident with the Brilda's magic power, and the person responsible was the Second Military Police Brigade responsible for the outer areas of the capital.
Fortunately, most of the passengers were unharmed, but in other carriages, the bodies of imperial guards accompanying the train could be seen everywhere, and their blood was soaked in broken glass windows and twisted metal.
"The extremely dangerous elements are no longer on the Brillda. Please rest assured, passengers. The Brillda Magic Rail Train has now been taken over by the Imperial Capital Garrison. Please actively cooperate with the military investigation. The train will soon arrive at the final stop, Brillda. Please wait patiently for a moment."
The train announcement is still comforting the passengers on the car.
Most passengers were not as calm as Lanci.
Maybe it would be better to show a little panic at this time.
But the Landry played by Lanci is natural and confident, so for him, many parts do not need to be deliberately performed.
"Lan Qi, are you sure you haven't surrendered to the enemy?...I'm a little scared."
Thalia was talking to him again in his mind.
Now as Lan Qi's soul, her destiny is basically bound to Lan Qi, and she can only watch his stories every day.
Now she gradually felt something was wrong.
Being able to quickly blend into an environment is certainly an extraordinary talent for a spy, but in the blink of an eye Lanci seemed to be a native.
"Tata, just keep it in your heart. You accidentally helped the empire capture the Allied spy at the beginning. It was just a coincidence and it will never happen again."
Lan Qi showed a determined look in his eyes and responded to her with confidence in his heart.
He can no longer help the empire, and he will never become a traitorous ninja.
This time is different from the Protos Empire in the northern continent. He is very clear about his position and camp.
"That's good."
Thalia breathed a sigh of relief, her voice laced with laughter.
It was expected that even if Lan Qi wanted to prosper within the empire, he didn't have the ability.
The empire is not that simple.
"It seems to be coming soon."
Lan Qi sat in the booth and looked out the window quietly.
Although there have been some twists and turns, overall it is still good.
He gained a new identity, and the Allied spy Miss Unity also escaped. The only injured person was Mr. Landry.
However, Ranchi will carry out Landry's legacy and use his status to work hard to change the empire. This can be regarded as allowing Landry to rest in peace under Jiuquan.
The train gradually left the golden mountains and entered the endless green plains. On the distant horizon, the majestic outline of the Holy City became increasingly clear.
We are finally arriving at Brilda, the legendary capital of the Kraiju Empire.
The city walls lined with spiers reach into the sky, the tall buildings made of steel shine in the sun, huge airships shuttle between the flowing clouds, and the entire city is surrounded by canals that outline a magnificent outline.
Mechanical ships and magical beasts made of brass travel across the water. Advanced mechanical engineering and modern magical engineering are perfectly integrated here, creating miracles that are different from the magical engineering of the kingdom.
The Imperial Department of Magical Engineering has vigorously developed mechanical innovation on the basis of being independent of magic weapons. It aims to point out a technological route without over-reliance on magic. One day, magic can be defeated by machinery.
Correspondingly, functions such as mechanics, gunsmiths, and snipers almost all originated from the Creation Empire.
For Frey, who calls himself "remote output in the back row", he once told Lan Qi that he must visit the Creation Empire if he has the chance.
Only a gunsmith who is strong enough can control the high-level Imperial firearms with terrible recoil.
"Are you okay, sir?"
Just as Lan Qi stared intently at the increasingly clear outline of the city, a male voice came from beside him.
The voice was steady and powerful.
Only then did Lan Qi notice that standing beside the door of the compartment where he was, there was an officer who looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a neat military appearance and neatly pressed uniforms.
He is tall and straight, with a strong build, his golden brown hair is meticulously combed, and his temples are slightly gray, giving him a majestic yet calm feeling.
The officer had a short beard on his face, a slightly pointed chin, a high nose, and a pair of blue-gray eyes that looked a little rough but had keen insight.
"I'm very good."
Lan Qi looked over with a smile and replied.
Compared to Lan Qi himself who is usually reserved, Mr. Landry's character seems to be more confident and outgoing.
"I am Burke von Arnold, commander of the 2nd Gendarmerie Brigade, Capital Garrison Command."
The officer did not enter the cubicle, but stood at the door and introduced.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, please sit down."
Lanqi immediately saw the other party's rank from his military uniform, stood up and responded to the other party's courtesy, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit opposite him.
Although this officer is calm and polite to others, this will not affect the strength of the imperial soldiers in performing their duties.
Once the Imperial Military Police detect signs of disloyalty or rebellion, they take immediate and resolute action.
