The final confirmation that the secretary was referring to at this moment was to ask Lan Qi to see with his own eyes whether he agreed that the guide would escort him secretly to the devil world.
It was not easy to find a guide with rich experience who could escort him through the Land of Eternal Night, and it was even harder to find one that was reputable and trustworthy.
He believed it would not be easy for the secretary to find such a candidate.
"Please wait."
The secretary saluted and walked out of the study.
After a while, a figure appeared.
however.
The figure who followed the secretary into the study made Lan Qi slightly stunned.
Even if Lan Qi was just sitting, he felt that he could look straight at this short figure.
He looked about eleven or twelve years old. He was wearing a beret and his hair was tied up and hidden in the hat. He was a bit indistinguishable from male to female.
If it weren't for some light-colored hair falling naturally from the temples, it might not be possible to quickly determine that she is a girl.
Lan Qi originally imagined that he should be a capable middle-aged man.
Unexpectedly, the secretary actually introduced such a child to him.
"I think what I need is a more experienced bodyguard and public relations person who can take me smoothly through the land of eternal night and deal with all the troubles I may encounter. She seems to be too young."
Lan Qi looked at the secretary and said tactfully.
There are many dangerous races and tribes in the snowfield.
When passing through autonomous and independent city-states, if you are not familiar with the local area, you may suffer some bad things in vain.
Humans are actually not welcome in that area.
Although he has good public relations skills, he still hopes to save trouble in the film world and save time and energy on the road.
The girl stared at Lan Qi silently, her purple eyes particularly strong.
"She is actually quite strong. Even the lieutenants in the army may not be her opponents. The most important thing is that she knows the Land of Eternal Night very well, and she can drive you through that area almost all day long. Ordinary people don't have this ability like her. She has a lot of stamina and her credit is pretty good.”
The secretary quickly explained to Lan Qi.
"I'm not questioning her strength..."
Lan Qi looked at the girl in surprise.
He could feel that the aura of this girl was very powerful, perhaps at the fourth or fifth level. At this age, she had the second or third level. She was a genius at the time when Lan Qi was alive.
But Lan Qi was mainly confused about how she could understand the complex map of the Land of Eternal Night at her age.
Lan Qi actually has very high requirements for guides in the snowfield. Last time, he trusted Lu Chi and went to the snowfield together. In the end, he had to rely on him to guide him.
"..."
The girl looked at Lan Qi with an awe-inspiring look.
She seemed to be hostile to the aristocracy of the Paulante Empire and did not want to work for them. Now that she had confirmed Lan Qi's attitude, she no longer concealed it.
"Forget it, find someone else."
The girl waved her hand and turned around.
She doesn't like others to waste her time, and of course she doesn't like the disdainful attitude of customers.
If it weren't for the relatively high price, she wouldn't have made a special trip to meet the client's boss after several introductions.
"Sorry, I can introduce you to other people, but she is indeed the most reputable guide and meets your requirements."
When the secretary saw that she had offended the Prime Minister, he was immediately worried. He chased her and turned around to smooth things over.
The Prime Minister's secret itinerary cannot be made known to anyone else.
Therefore, this snowfield guide girl had no idea that the man in front of her was actually Prime Minister Wilford, and she actually talked to the Prime Minister like this.
"No, please help me entrust her."
Lan Qi said with a smile.
Although the other party is young, she does seem to have a strong attitude. This kind of absolutely confident aura cannot be faked. It is obvious that she is very confident in her own working ability.
Besides, he didn't want to waste more time now, so it was best to start now.
"Miss Sigre, Mr. Lodge wants to sign a commission contract with you, entrusting you to escort him to the devil world."
The secretary immediately stopped the girl and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Devil world? Aren't you afraid of death?"
The girl turned back and glanced at Lan Qi.
She had not heard the attendant-like secretary beside her mention that the final destination was the Demon World. She only knew that a client wanted to go to the Land of Eternal Night.
"Due to the confidential nature of my work, I didn't tell more people about my master's destination."
The secretary was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat and stood in front of Lan Qi to explain to Sigre.
Although a child is not sensible, she is a little too upright to talk to the leader of the Pollante Empire like this.
I hope she will never offend the Prime Minister again in the future.
"Don't worry, after you send me to my destination, your work will be completed, and you don't need to worry anymore."
Lan Qi nodded in response.
After hearing this, Sigre took the contract from the secretary.
"Let's make an agreement first. I only care about your life and death on the way, but once we get to the Demon Realm, we will have nothing to do with each other, and I have no obligation to accompany you into the Demon Realm."
Sigre read the contract carefully, picked up a pen and said.
She only takes money to do things, and will not stop her clients from committing suicide. Moreover, she is disgusted with the powerful people in the Paulante Empire who have been frightened by the vampires for a long time.
"In other words, will you definitely protect me in the Land of Eternal Night?"
Lan Qi confirmed to her with a smile.
"..."
She nodded.
"What if you yourself might be in danger? Shouldn't you leave me and run away?"
Lan Qi asked curiously.
According to his observation, this child is very upright and has no intention of lying to him.
Although this is a project written in the contract, if there is really a big danger, most guides will actually consider their own lives first, and then consider their clients. This is understandable to Lan Qi.
"All I have in this world is courage and credibility, and I will not sacrifice them for anyone."
Sigre responded.
"It's a pleasure to embark on this journey with you."
Lan Qi picked up the tea cup again and sipped lightly, feeling that this guide was surprisingly good.
Waiting for the secretary to explain the final notes to Sigre, and then we can set off with her later.
Chapter 544 The work of Lanqi’s generation of craftsmen
"You and Mr. Lodge will be escorted by the Dragon Cavalry Regiment and head to the northern border as quickly as possible. In the next snowfield, you will have to escort Mr. Lodge. Please be sure to protect his safety."
In the study of Lanci's private residence, the secretary explained the upcoming itinerary to the bodyguard Sigre.
Sigre nodded and glanced at Lan Qi, who was sitting at the table drinking tea.
Generally speaking, if they are not in a special hurry, they will not ask the Dragon Cavalry Regiment to quickly transport them to the northernmost part of the empire within the country.
In this way, the domestic journey can be shortened several times to less than half a day, but the cost of air transportation will also be many times higher than that of land transportation.
Further north, flying dragons cannot fly smoothly in the dark night, extreme cold, and wind and snow, so they have to switch to land when passing through the land of eternal night.
"The path on the snowfield must strictly pass through several independent city-states..."
The secretary gave instructions to Sigre according to the schedule.
Lan Qi also opened the small map manual with one hand and read it leisurely while waiting.
He has a habit now. Even if he has a guide, he will always have a children's map in his hand.
Under normal circumstances, the Land of Eternal Night, as a long snowfield, is quite dangerous, with hordes of ferocious beasts, chaotic security, and rejection of humans.
Now is war time.
The current situation in neighboring countries means that hidden vampire scouts may appear in the snowfields.
It can be said to make the already dangerous road even worse.
As for the route on the snowfield, it has already been planned, or there is only one best route——
Lan Qi took on a task to repair the statues of gods they believed in for the orc city-states on the way.
The orc city-states particularly respect the gods and believe that the reason why they have been able to thrive for a long time is that they are protected by the gods. The statues of the city-states are also indispensable objects in their worship rituals and other activities.
Unfortunately, the orcs are not good at this kind of craftsmanship. They basically ask craftsmen from surrounding countries to maintain the statues for them. However, due to the long-standing conflict between humans and orcs, which has intensified in recent years, and the security of the Land of Evernight is extremely poor, the famous The craftsmen are unwilling to go to the snowfield.
Furthermore, it is said that some violent orc lords may even attack the craftsmen in a rage if the repairs are not done well.
As a result, no half-hearted craftsman is willing to risk his life to cheat.
Even Little Rock, which is the city closest to the Polante Empire and the closest to humans, has sought craftsmen from the Polante Empire many times, but no master has ever been willing to take on such a thankless and risky job.
After all, no one is confident that they can satisfy the orcs for sure.
Of course, then again, if it is repaired well, it can also gain their considerable favor and favor. After all, they are straightforward.
This time I heard that a master craftsman from the royal family of the Paulante Empire was willing to take over the work, and he had taken over the repair work for six city-states from south to north. The orc city-states were looking forward to it and promised I will do my best to protect the safety of Master Rocky along the way.
Lan Qi knew very well that the Land of Eternal Night, as the road between the Demon Realm and the Paulant Empire, was even more critical during this war.
Obtaining the support and help of the indigenous orcs means great convenience. Likewise, this is territory that must never be given to the vampires.
Lanqi will try his best to convey the Horning Empire's offensive intention to the orc lords.
