Of course, the other party, a high-ranking person with a superior background and living in a castle and palace, might not care about her views on the war situation at all.
Anyway, if the vampires really take over the Paulante Empire by then, they won't be willing to kill a non-threatening and artistic toy human like him.
And the thorn in the vampire's side like her will be the first target of the vampire's elimination.
But she is no longer afraid. Her parents and clan members were all killed by the vampires. She has long since learned to endure the darkness and loneliness, and is just trying to survive in this world day by day.
"Wow."
Lanci looked at Sigra in surprise.
"Wow what wow."
This made Sigre look up at him in confusion, wondering if something in his head was wrong.
"You are very smart."
Lan Qi looked at the short figure next to him and admired.
It felt like I was connecting with her brainwaves.
"What's the meaning."
Sigre didn't understand why Lan Qi suddenly praised her. She was already prepared to be rejected.
"I just think you analyze the problem very thoroughly, much better than the noble men in the House of Representatives."
Lan Qi closed his eyes and spread his hands helplessly.
"Yeah."
Sigre was hesitant and thought it was good for her employer to listen to her advice.
Of course, it is more likely that the painter is really indifferent to the situation of the Pollante Empire, so he can believe what she said as a child without asking more about the reasons for her judgment or rebuttal and argument.
If she could, she actually didn't want to encounter the Vampires again, especially on the snowy plains between the city-states in the Land of Eternal Night.
Once encountered, it will be very detrimental to her at night.
Unless you escape from the snowfield, you can hardly make it through the day.
Strigoi are nearly invincible.
Chatted for a while.
Lan Qi and Sigre waited for the coachman in the city, loaded their luggage onto the vehicle, and took them on their journey into the city.
This small stone city stands in the southernmost part of the Land of Eternal Night. It is like winter all year round, and the vast land is covered with white snow. It is a community dominated by orcs, full of primitive and rough beauty, but also integrated with the modern sense of a human city-state.
Among the six city-states along the road, Little Rock is the southernmost of the Land of Evernight and the independent city-state closest to the Paulant Empire. The relationship between orcs and humans is relatively normal, there are frequent trade exchanges, and it is deeply influenced by human culture. .
Going deeper into the Land of Eternal Night, things will start to get worse, until in the last city-state, it is almost impossible to encounter humans in the city, and even demons will appear.
"In this city-state, it is still safe for now. From the day after tomorrow, you must not leave my side without authorization, and do not act alone."
Sigre looked at the familiar buildings in the city-state. Most of them were made of hard stone and specially treated wood. The structure was stable and could withstand severe cold and wind and snow.
She reminded Lan Qi.
Little Rock is the city-state in the Land of Eternal Night that she visits most often. She rarely goes to the following city-states, but she is also well aware of their dangerous environment.
"OK, all right."
Lanci confirmed.
It is very important to listen to the guide. Having a reliable bodyguard by his side also makes him feel at ease, including tomorrow's activities - meeting the great lord and repairing the statue of the city-state.
It is said that there is an ancient relic statue standing in the temple of Little Rock - the God of Rock and Shelter. It guards the land and the oaths of the orcs with a solemn and solemn attitude.
The God of Rocks and Shelter, also known as the God of Rock and Earth, is in charge of earth-attribute magic in Genesis.
He is also the god worshiped by the bear people of this Little Rock City.
Lan Qi and Sigre continued to drive to the interior of Little Rock, passing through a road paved with gray stone slabs, lined with some low buildings. The streets were quite lively, with various furry orcs wearing distinctive costumes. Occasionally, there are human figures walking through it, and the downtown area is brightly lit at night.
After more than ten minutes of journey, they finally arrived at their accommodation tonight, the most luxurious Snow Bear Hotel in the city-state.
Chapter 547 Lan Qi’s favorability dropped
The land of eternal night, Little Rock City is controlled by the Bear Clan.
The Snow Bear Hotel has a majestic appearance, with two huge white bear statues in front of the door, as if guarding this palace-like building.
Entering the hotel lobby, you are greeted by warm lighting and comfortable heating. Tapestries and Ursine totems are hung on the walls. In the center of the lobby is an ornamental magic fireplace, with orange light and shadow dancing in the furnace.
After Sigre and Lanqi registered at the reception desk, they completed the check-in procedure.
For safety and convenience reasons, they all agreed to an apartment-style suite with two bedrooms and one living room.
"As long as you, a big customer with a distinguished status and an employer, don't mind, then I, a hard-working person like me, will naturally be willing to live in a better place."
Sigre picked up a box in each hand and said to Lan Qi.
She actually felt that her employer this time was a very generous type.
Even in Little Rock, which is considered relatively safe, they are willing to let her live in a relatively close location. Her work will be much more convenient without having to run back and forth repeatedly.
You must know that the cost of living in Snow Bear Palace is not low, and it is written in the contract that such accommodation expenses are borne by the employer.
"it does not matter."
Lan Qi responded with an easygoing smile.
He felt that Sigre regarded him as an untouchable noble lord, and the boundary between them was very clear.
If I had to describe it, it would probably be that even if she showed obvious dislike for her, she would accept it indifferently, because she herself felt that they were not of the same class.
The contract is the ironclad rule that maintains their relationship, and she is only responsible for taking money to do things.
So Sigre nodded and walked toward the stairs.
Lan Qi was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, writing notes, guarding the luggage next to the sofa, waiting for Sigre to finish moving it in two trips.
Although Sigre is only eleven or twelve years old, she is very strong. If she were not too small, she might be able to move four boxes in one trip.
Soon she came back from moving.
In the gorgeous lobby on the first floor, Sigre's figure looked particularly nimble. Her little hands held the suitcase tightly. Although the size and weight of the suitcase seemed a bit difficult for her age, there was no expression on her face. Showing no sign of fatigue or displeasure.
Her strength was unexpectedly strong, every step was steady and powerful, and the weight of the box was nothing to her.
The guests nearby, seeing Lan Qi letting such a young child do hard work, couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh at the world.
Lan Qi didn't pay much attention because he was also working.
"..."
He watched Sigre leave again.
Sigre's figure looked even smaller under the grand hall and bright lights of the hotel.
This reminded him that Sigrid also liked to carry his luggage.
On the way back to Herrom from the northern snowfield, she always came to her senses. She had already moved her luggage and looked at herself with a proud look.
But little Sigre is just acting in accordance with the contract. It won't work if she is asked to do more work, or if she is asked to do less work. It is all about words in black and white.
Lan Qi sat on the sofa in the lobby, his eyes turning to the small book in his hand again.
Finally, when Sigre completed the last transfer, she returned to the lobby.
Her face was expressionless, but there was a hint of confusion on her eyebrows.
It was as if she didn't know why her employer didn't follow her up the second time, but was still waiting for her in the lobby.
"good evening."
Sigre said to Lan Qi who was still writing on the note.
She wasn't doing it out of etiquette, she was just maintaining a professional attitude.
Lan Qi raised his head and turned his eyes to this young but extremely competent bodyguard, with recognition in his eyes.
"Thank you, Sigre."
Lan Qi said, slightly speeding up the pen in his hand, and after a few seconds, he stopped writing and tore off the page of notes.
He handed the shopping list to Sigre, then took out his wallet from his jacket pocket, counted out a few local currencies that his secretary had exchanged for him, and handed it to Sigre.
"This money is for travel expenses, including daily necessities, food, etc. If you feel you need to buy anything else, don't ask me. Just come back to me when you're almost done."
He added.
"Oh, thanks."
Sigre took the money from Lan Qi and put it in his pocket.
She knew that the last task of the night was to go to the market in Little Rock, and they hadn't had dinner yet.
Sigre started walking out of the hotel lobby and noticed that Lan Qi was following her.
But his pace was very relaxed, as if he was taking a walk, and he seemed not to intend to go out with her. He just walked a short distance with her leisurely, and had to explain something to her by the way.
"Tomorrow morning, before and after the repair ceremony, we may have to contact the big lords and priests of the orc city-state. At that time, please pay attention to your wording and don't let them think that you have offended their ancestors and gods."
Lan Qi spoke gently about tomorrow's work.
"Well, what about?"
Sigre looked sideways at Lan Qi beside her.
Although she often comes to the orc city-state, she rarely has the opportunity to interact with the big lords and the upper echelons of the city-state, and she doesn't know what to say that might cause problems.
"It's mainly your words, or more of your way of thinking. You need to be respectful of things you don't understand. If you maintain a casual attitude, you may be at risk on tomorrow's occasion."
Lan Qi reminded.
"...It's really too troublesome."
She wanted to curse but stopped, swallowing the foul words in her mouth.
"I never went to school, so I have no idea what you mean."
Sigre felt that she could understand every word Lanqi said, but she felt particularly troubled by connecting them together.
