Although the prejudice against humans in the orc city-state is still very big, someone must take the first step before it can change.
"This gentleman is quite noble. When you take him through the Land of Eternal Night, please follow this red book and do not let him suffer any harm or unpleasantness in the orc city-state."
The secretary handed a red-covered book to Sigre. She glanced at it reluctantly, and then nodded.
If it weren't for money, she wouldn't want to escort such an overly delicate man.
"Damn, this is really troublesome."
she said to herself.
"Shh!"
The secretary trembled with fright.
"You can't use such vulgar words in front of this gentleman."
He hurriedly told Sigre and prayed that the Prime Minister did not hear this.
"What is vulgar language?"
Sigre frowned in confusion.
"It means that your words and sentences should be used more elegantly and politely."
The secretary explained patiently to her.
Although he also knew that this coachman had some minor problems, such as easily offending the Prime Minister when she was ignorant and fearless, she was indeed a master at dealing with troubles, and leaving the Prime Minister to her was the most reassuring.
"I haven't been to school, so I don't know how to say those so-called elegant words."
Sigre spread her hands.
Before, most of the people she escorted were merchants going to the snowfield to do business. It was rare to hear of a high-ranking and powerful lord willing to go to the Land of Eternal Night in person. Even if there were necessary official business, they would be escorted by professional troops, and there was no need to make such a private commission mysterious.
"Ms. Sigley..."
The secretary felt the words stuck in her throat.
He couldn't tell Sigre that this gentleman was the Prime Minister, and he also shouldered a unique responsibility and needed to disguise himself as another identity and go all the way to the north.
"It's okay, there's no need to embarrass the child."
Lan Qi sat at the table, put down the tea cup and said with a chuckle.
Although he personally won't swear, he won't change other people's speaking habits.
What's more, this child doesn't understand.
"Ok."
The secretary said gratefully to Lan Qi, and then continued to explain the rest to Sigre.
The Prime Minister has never felt sorry for him, and he has always been very considerate of his subordinates at work.
Sigre glanced at Lanqi again.
It was like a surprise that this customer was a little different from the high-ranking and powerful person he imagined.
……
That afternoon.
The few hours of travel flew by.
In the silvery snowfield in the northern part of the Polante Empire, a girl wearing a beret was driving a sled. Her figure was calm and capable, as if she was integrated with the beauty of this cold world.
In front of the sled, two snowfield deer were galloping on the snow, their hooves kicking up patches of snow mist on the thick snow, just like drawing nature's route map on the snowfield.
After Sigre set off with Lanqi this morning, he quickly arrived at the northernmost part of the Paulante Empire by air.
After renting a magical beast that could travel the fastest in the Land of Eternal Night, he left the country.
The girl's face turned reddish in the cold wind, and the deer whip she held in her hand waved gently, making intermittently sounds.
Behind her, a man sat quietly in the back seat.
His eyes focused on the small manual map in his hand.
The map was blown by the wind and the corner of the book swayed slightly. The young man seemed to be meditating on the journey ahead.
"More than half of today's trip has actually passed. The first thing I want to do when I arrive at my destination tonight is to ask you to find me a hotel that is as spacious as possible and help me buy ingredients. I will give you a list of ingredients. , just try to buy according to what is written above.”
Lan Qi's brown hair was blowing slightly in the cold wind, and her face was full of anticipation for the journey to the north.
"Can't we just find a restaurant to eat?"
Sigre asked, tilting her head slightly.
She thinks these clients are very delicate.
We didn't have much communication with the other party along the way in the Paulante Empire. He seemed to be very tired from work in the past few days and spent most of the time with his eyes closed to rest.
"That's what I thought too, but my chef suggested I cook at home."
Lan Qi looked at the shadow under his feet and sighed.
Boss Cat always says to eat out less.
Previously, he and his cat boss were in the Northern Continent. Once he started traveling, he would be the cook most of the time.
"alright."
Sigre took out a pen and wrote down on the note.
Anyway, according to the contract, these basic costs are borne by Party A.
The better off the client is, the more she can eat.
She usually lives frugally, but now she doesn't have to pay for food and accommodation at work, and her boss doesn't mind the expense. She just wants to move more things.
Lan Qi stared at her crooked handwriting in the front row and couldn't help but smile a little.
Even though she was a little reluctant, her professional standards were very good and she wrote them all down.
Chapter 545 Lan Qi and the Girl’s Journey to the Snowfield
The snowfield at the entrance to the land of eternal night is quiet and vast, as if it is an untouched corner of the world.
The antlers of the snow deer are tall and bright, as crystal clear as ice sculptures, emitting a faint brilliance.
"Hey, are you rich?"
After Sigre had memorized Lan Qi's request, she suddenly asked, putting away her pen and notepad with one hand.
The sled left a clear track on the snow, accompanied by the sound of the running deer and the slight sliding sound of the sled.
She put one hand on the backrest and looked back at Lan Qi.
It's rare to see such a big man who can command respect from his entourage. The person who seemed to be his secretary earlier looked frightened.
Although she didn't know much about the upper class society in Helsalem, she felt that the customer this time was a powerful person that she didn't usually see.
"It's okay, but if you want to make money, it should be faster."
Lanci replied.
He didn't mind having someone to chat with on the road, just like traveling with West Germany was much more enjoyable than traveling with Tata.
Of course, staying with Tata now is a new kind of fun.
"But could you please hold the reins with both hands and look at the road ahead?"
He raised his hand and pointed forward.
Hearing this, Sigre turned her head for the time being, but only half of it.
"what is your job?"
Sigre asked again.
"I'm a painter, and I know a little bit about sculpture and landscape design."
Lan Qi was a little helpless, seeing that Sigre's driving habits seemed to be like this, and he couldn't change it for a while, so he thought that he could only remind her more in the future.
For now, it may be better to answer her questions first so that she can drive with peace of mind.
The other party's attitude was indifferent, but she seemed to be very talkative and not a quiet girl.
"No wonder you are rich."
Sigre nodded, as if she understood a lot of things.
"I'm quite interested in paintings. For example, the painting in your study just now showed a group of children sitting around a fire. Although I didn't look carefully, I remember that there seemed to be a child whose hair was accidentally burned by the fire. Now, all the friends around him are saving him."
She still wasn't paying attention to the road ahead, and said to Lan Qi.
"Um……"
Lan Qi thought for a while and felt that what Sigre said was a little wrong.
Or rather it took him a moment to figure out which painting Sigre was referring to.
"That painting comes from the Devil's Opera. It's not a child sitting by a fire, but a group of demons cheering in purgatory."
Lan Qi explained to Sigre.
He really likes to chat with people about art topics.
Although it was not his painting, he could understand it.
"Oh, it turns out there is a follow-up story. They were all burned to death. The devil will indeed be jumping for joy."
Sigre shrugged regretfully.
"..."
Lan Qi choked up and couldn't speak for a long time.
Boss Cat was a little nervous in the shadow.
It was hell.
Lan Qi doesn’t even know how to answer your words.
