Only Tata ate and slept along the way, and kept each other warm with Siglee.
Sigley doted on Tata very much. Whenever she arrived at a city-state, she would buy the local delicacies she most recommended and give them to Tata on the way.
She seemed to have completely accepted this retired version of Kaliela, and even somewhat understood Lanqi's joy in feeding the animals.
According to Boss Cat's observation, Sigrace was a little girl with the potential to be a female Ranch many years ago. Ranch was obsessed with Talia, and Sigrace really fell into the trap.
"Lanqi Lanqi, why have you been so quiet along the way? When we, the Lanmao group, depended on each other in the Northern Continent, you could talk to me for a long time every day."
The cat boss asked as he charged Lanqi with his head.
"No, I've always been talking a lot."
Lanqi felt the soft black hair ball hitting his side and answered.
"Yeah, meow."
The cat boss was relieved that Lanqi was letting him do less work, but he didn't know what his role was in the team now.
Can an eighth-level divine beast also become unemployed?
Actually, Tata can also help Ranchi with the fake slate. At most, it has more high-level wind magic on it, which can give Ranchi four more lives. But now there is no opponent who can satisfy Lord Ranchi and use up his second life.
Click.
The sound of the door lock turning attracted the attention of Cat Boss and Lanqi.
They looked into the distance and saw a bedroom door open, and Sigley walked out with her hair slightly curled.
She was sleepy-eyed and wearing a halter dress and pajamas. She walked to the dining table, picked up a bottle of Snowfield Ice Spring and started drinking it. She looked like she had just woken up.
"Sieglie, I've told you so many times, you're a grown-up girl now, you need to be more careful."
Lanqi could only maintain his manners, staring at the book and speaking to Sigler.
Sigley's overly casual and light clothing made it seem as if she didn't care that he was still sitting there.
"What's wrong? Kaliela and Little Black Coal Ball won't care about anything."
Sigley put down the water bottle, looking resurrected, and asked Lanqi,
"Or will His Holiness the Pope admire me with that kind of gaze?"
She deliberately ran over and sat next to Lanqi, clinging to him like an innocent little girl, not caring at all about the difference between them as men and women.
"Meow……"
Boss Cat couldn't tell whether Sigley was testing or seducing Lanqi on purpose, or if she really didn't think about it that way and still regarded herself as the little girl who could be easily picked up by Lanqi twelve years ago.
Even though Sigley's impressive figure made Lanqi feel the softness that he could not ignore, he quickly moved away and sat on the single sofa on the other side, giving his seat to Sigley.
"Sieglie, in my eyes, you are always a good child, but you also need to consider some objective factors. For example, you are now a complete beauty. Accordingly, you must maintain etiquette that matches your beauty and talent."
Lanci preaches to Sigra.
"Well."
Sigrid wanted to retort, but after hearing Lanqi's highly emotional words, she felt that she didn't want to tease Lanqi anymore.
She waved her hand casually, went back to her room to change her clothes, put her hands in her coat pockets again, and walked out.
"Speaking of which, the last time we came to Little Night City, did we also stay in a similar room?"
Sigrid lay on the armrest of the sofa, looking out the window at the falling snow in the night.
In her previous dreams, she was sitting on a chair at one end of a round table, leaning on the edge of the table and falling asleep, while Lanqi was sitting quietly beside her reading a book.
Coming to this area, the rabbit orc residents of Little Night City have long been accustomed to the long nights and fleeting days, and their pace of life has completely adapted to the rhythm of the night.
Due to the city-state's unique geographical location and rich natural resources, it still attracts scholars, hunters, explorers and travelers to seek a temporary shelter.
In addition to the Rabbitmen who control this city-state, demons can often be seen in the city.
This place, far away from the human kingdom, is undoubtedly full of dangers for humans who are not strong enough or do not have bodyguards.
Fortunately, Lanqi had established good connections in Little Rock from the very beginning, and every lord who visited him afterwards had a qualitative leap in their initial impression of him.
When he had repaired the statue and communicated with the great lords, he won their favor and full support without exception.
Therefore, the six days from Little Rock to Little Night City were smooth sailing, with almost no accidents or storms.
The only minor incident was when the mountains gradually increased in the second half of the journey. The two of them and the cat encountered a sudden snowstorm and were forced to take refuge in a cave for a short time, thus avoiding the threat of an avalanche.
Perhaps it was on that day that Sieglie witnessed his work of repairing the statue, and while packing her luggage, she began to develop a strong interest in his painting tools and sculptures. Lanci introduced to her the purpose of each tool and his own experience in using them, as well as how to appreciate the wonders of works of art with great patience.
Anyway, they spent most of their time talking along the way. Whether it was learning or teaching, it could speed up the passage of time in their perception.
Looking back now, Sigrid only feels nostalgic.
And now, embarking on the journey again, I feel particularly safe and comfortable.
This journey was not as rushed as the last time. There were no two million troops in the south and the precarious war situation. There were no vampires in the snow. Peace had been established for a long time, and there was no sense of urgency on the road.
Her physical strength in her prime is much better than that of the little girl in her early teens in the dream. Lanqi doesn't have to visit the lord and repair the statue every time he arrives at an orc city-state, so the entire itinerary is very relaxed.
Just like they are now, they can hide in the warm hotel in the winter and chat, waiting for Calliera to prepare the meal.
Everything is a sense of happiness.
"Yes, it was the great lord of Xiaoye City who arranged rooms for us last time. We originally had nowhere to stay."
Lanqi put down the book, smiled rarely, looked at Sigley and answered.
Xiaoye City, an independent city-state close to the Demon Realm, is very popular among the merchants in the Demon Realm. It is also the starting point of the Demon Tribe’s business road and the end point of the Polant Empire’s business road.
He had a very memorable and emotional experience with the journey with Sigley.
"I never thought that your affinity with small animals would also work on the beastmen. They all like and trust you."
The cat boss climbed onto Lanqi's shoulder and also began to sigh.
"..."
The living room fell silent again.
When Boss Cat looked at Lanqi's expression again, he found that his smile was slowly disappearing.
It wondered if it had said something wrong, and shook its head back and forth, looking at Lanqi and Sigray.
Sigrid looked at the cat owner helplessly.
Boss Cat is an expert at finishing off others. Lanqi seemed to have gotten over the disappearance of the rabbit people in Little Night City, but after hearing what Boss Cat said, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Sigrid remembered it clearly.
Just like Lord Algom of Little Rock, who was not very close to Lanci at first, but later showed a cute side like a little bear in front of him.
It wasn't some natural attraction, it was just that they felt sincerity and respect from Lanqi, and they responded to Lanqi with the same.
Sigrid naturally understood Lanqi's feelings after hearing that he discovered several orc city-states along the way.
The orc lord of Xiaoye City had done a favor to the vampires many years ago. At that time, the vampires were weak and many of them were hunted by wolf vampire hunters. It was difficult for them to gain a foothold in the human kingdom where the day and night were divided into half, so they fled all the way to the land of eternal night.
Therefore, the deepest part of the Land of Eternal Night became their best hiding place.
The old lord of Xiaoye City felt sorry for these blood-bruised vampires, and at their desperate request, he shared the blood of the hunted snow beasts with them, saving many vampires, including the future eighth ancestor of the vampires, the Marquis of Somerset.
The Marquis of Somerset saved the old lord and promised to repay him in the future.
The ridiculous thing is that the vampires' repayment is that one day in the future Somerset will personally kill all the rabbit people in Little Night City.
Lanqi saw the prosperity of several orc city-states along the way, and he no longer had any reaction.
He regained his usual calm.
But when he heard this story, he still smiled helplessly.
When people smile for no reason, it is either because they are bored or because they are suffering.
"How are you."
Sigley sat next to Lanci again, but this time she didn't sit next to him intentionally. Instead, she kept a distance that made him comfortable.
If she were Sigrid, she might hug Lanci and comfort him at this moment, but she is now playing the role of Sigrid, so it is better to maintain mutual respect for the time being.
"It's okay. I just feel that this blood moon ruins the world. I didn't feel it during the darkest and most turbulent period, but now in the peaceful period when we are heading towards light, it makes people feel a sense of absurdity, but I don't know what to say."
Lanqi shook his head calmly and smiled again.
But Sieglie's concerned eyes did not move away, nor did they waver.
She continued to stare at Lanqi until Lanqi began to feel a little confused and leaned back on the sofa.
"You can't hide it from me. Even if I can't read your heart, I can read your eyes."
Sigler preached.
This shadow world itself doesn't seem to be difficult. Perhaps it's because Ranchi did everything too much in the first three shadow worlds, and the last shadow world started to become a bonus game.
But Sigrid was sure that this shadow world was the saddest for Lanqi.
He wanted to save everyone from the bottom of his heart, but after discovering that the dust of this era had settled, he continued to experience the powerlessness of Lancross of the Black Sun.
Even though his personal abilities have surpassed those of Lanclos of the Black Sun, and he can do better than Lanclos every time, he still cannot resist the direction of the entire world and the wheel of fate, just like in this world he cannot end the war in the southern continent and save all the lives in suffering by his own will.
The stronger the obsession of a creature, the more extreme it will become once its obsession is broken.
No one knows what choice Lancros made or how he ended his life at the end of Blood Moon.
Sigrid always had a bad feeling.
Because she felt that at the end of his life, Lancross of the Black Sun was filled with extreme negative emotions, and all he needed was an opportunity to detonate them all and cause Lancross of the Black Sun to completely collapse.
Lanqi is going through such a process now.
[Mission Objective 1: Read the letter from old friend Calliera; go to the demon world purgatory city Pascual. (To be continued)]
[Mission Objective 2: Understand the state of mind of Lanklos of the Black Sun: 4.67%. (Unfinished)]
【任务目标3：挑战者全员生存至21天时限结束，剩余时间14天02小时35分。】
As a challenger, Sigrid can actually see this panel, but Ranchi just doesn't know it for the time being.
Sigrid has always been concerned about Lanci.
Whenever she saw Lanqi's deeper understanding of Hei Ri, she seemed to feel the same heartache. She knew that Lanqi was not so indifferent under his calm surface. He was always thinking in his heart. He cared, he would be sad, and he would be resentful.
As for what Lanci will understand in the end, it all depends on his deeper self.
