Siglei nodded and stopped being polite. She picked up the cutlery, picked up a piece of beef, put it in her mouth and took a bite. She was immediately conquered by the tenderness of the meat and the fragrance of the sauce, and her chewing speed became faster.
Although the way she ate was not polite at all, no matter how hungry she looked, she only took a small portion of the shared meal, finished it quickly, and sat back on the chair.
"Meow……"
The cat boss stood up from the chair and took a look at the corner of the table. It was made for two people. Unexpectedly, Sigre didn't seem to be full yet.
If you think about it carefully, she is growing taller at this age and she is doing physical work. It is normal to eat more. Her living habits seem to be very frugal. It seems that it is rare to have such good food.
"I was quite full before setting off today and I can't finish so much. Could you please help us get rid of some more ingredients?"
Lan Qi looked at Sigre and asked.
He ate very slowly, still cutting the steak slowly.
Sigre glanced at Lan Qi and nodded.
She could probably tell that her employer was hinting to her to eat more tactfully.
But she doesn't shy away from others' kindness.
"Thank you."
Sigre said so and continued to eat.
After a few minutes, the dinner on the table was cleared away. Sigre leaned back on the chair with an expressionless expression and burped.
It may be a bit rude, but she has discovered that no matter whether her actions and words are in line with etiquette or not, as long as it does not affect business, the employer will tolerate her very gently.
It's not as exaggerated as the secretary said. He is such a wealthy and arrogant powerful man. You can't do this in front of him, and you can't do that in front of him.
"My appetite should also get better tomorrow, so let's buy more ingredients."
Ranchi had also finished his dinner. He took out the note from his pocket and modified the number of shopping list items on it.
Watching young people eat made him feel quite happy.
Eat more to thrive.
There is no need to worry about gaining weight or having a high education. The hard-working Sigre will definitely become an outstanding young man in the future.
"Obviously, if you fail to repair the statue, I will try my best to protect you from being beaten."
Sigre said suddenly.
To be honest, she had never heard of an artist like Rocky or a famous craftsman in the Paulante Empire, let alone seen his works.
Most likely, it was because of Mr. Rocky McCarthy's distinguished status and wide connections that he was able to obtain such a gorgeous title as Royal Craftsman and occasionally give gifts to the royal family.
In fact, if he was really that good, the royal family would have made his works famous in the Polant Empire long ago.
According to Sigre's understanding of the orcs, only a generation of great craftsmen are qualified to touch their sacred-level ancient relics and statues, and the results of the repairs can also be clearly judged objectively using appraisal magic, because the statues themselves They are ancient relics that have the effect of magical works of art and cannot be faked in the slightest.
If you can barely get the orcs to accept it tomorrow, it will be considered a success.
In the worst case scenario, if the statue of the god is damaged, although the status of the great lord of Little Rock City is not enough to damage the relationship with the Paulante Empire, the same cannot be said for the people below, and they may really be beaten up by the people. pause.
Just thinking about that terrible situation gave Sigre a headache.
If it weren't for the fact that this employer treated her quite well, she wouldn't want to get involved in such muddy water no matter how much money he gave her.
"Oh? Thank you."
Lan Qi looked up and said with a smile.
The contract only stipulated that Sigre should ensure his safety in the event of an accident.
If it is a non-accidental accident caused by the employer himself, she does not need to help him avoid the disaster.
"Of course, if I take action, it won't be free."
Sigre waved her hand and walked towards her bedroom.
Although her physical strength is very good, she will still race against time to sleep when she rarely has time to rest.
She didn't have much time to rest in the next few days. Most days she had to travel intensively in bad weather.
She lay down directly on the bed without changing her clothes.
……
The current northern continent, the Protos Empire.
As the first rays of light on the horizon hit Helrom, the city began to shake off the stillness of the night.
Skyscrapers shine in the morning light, and the outlines of ancient churches and floating pavements in other dimensions appear even more psychedelic in the hazy mist.
The sky gradually changes from deep blue to soft orange, and the golden sunlight shines through the clouds, illuminating every corner of the city.
In a private residence on the top floor of a high-rise building in the center of the city-state of Helrom, the sun shines gently through the half-open blinds, gently awakening the bedroom.
The bedroom decoration style is quite modern, with some simple art works hanging on the walls, which complement the light tones of the room. The queen-size bed has neat bedding, and black and green pillows are placed casually aside.
After Sigrid's cheeks were illuminated, she slowly opened her eyes from sleep.
"Hoo."
She yawned, sat up, moved her body, hung her feet down, and placed them gently on the carpet.
I don't know why, but she has always felt sleepy these past two days. If she didn't have Gloria, the direct soldier, to wake her up, she would sleep for a long time.
It’s true that I’ve been working a lot recently.
The alliance between their Protos Empire and the neighboring Kingdom of Estherland is very important. As long as this alliance is negotiated, no matter what threats there are in the north, the entire south bank front will be quite strong, and she can also have a short period of vacation. .
In the Kingdom of Estherland, the Church of the Goddess of Destiny has a very high status since ancient times. They are also one of the negotiating parties in this alliance. This is also the rare time in history that a single branch of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny and the Church of Resurrection can reconcile. Condition.
"I actually dreamed of the Holy Son."
Sigrid smiled and shook her head.
In the dream, she turned into a little girl and set foot on the snowy field with the Son again.
It was a very terrible and chaotic era. The little girl never felt at ease for a single second. Even living was like a struggle for her. Sigrid didn't know why she would do such a thing. Nightmare.
Even now that she woke up, she felt like she was in a cold sweat, and her heart was beating with an inconsistent rhythm, as if the fear was still in her heart.
Unfortunately, in the dream, she had no memory of the real world, and her attitude towards the Holy Son was very cold.
I sat on the bed for a while and thought about my dream.
"Damn it, I'm just a kid in the dream, I can't beat him."
Sigrid muttered to herself angrily.
She still remembered the hateful look of the Holy Son, who tricked her into promising not to talk nonsense during the repair ceremony, and then he seemed flattered.
"Forget it, the favorability of the dream doesn't count."
If you work hard for a few more days, you can escape to the southern continent to enjoy a short holiday.
Sigrid heard from the little black cat that the Wilford family, except Lanci, all believed in the Goddess of Destiny, so she thought that if she wanted to visit her at that time, she might be able to bring some souvenirs from the Church of the Goddess of Destiny in the Northern Continent, so she asked The Church of the Goddess of Destiny inquired about it, and the other party happily gave her a gift as a symbol of peace and friendship.
She said she wanted to ask for an extra talisman to bless marriage, but the Church of the Goddess of Destiny actually gave it to her.
Sigrid looked at the small shining jewelry on her wrist and smiled slightly.
Probably because she felt too comfortable being basked in the sun, Sigrid couldn't help but stretch her body and wipe away the shallow tears with her fingertips.
As we all know, dreams are difficult to continue. There should be no more nightmares tonight.
But even if it was a nightmare, he would definitely save himself.
ps: Today is a two-in-one chapter. In addition, I will not write about the orc city-states one by one, because the duration is seven days. It is easier to remember that the total of six city-states plus the final demon world is just seven days. In fact, there are only two geographical city-states that have a role, and the middle one is actually I'll take it all with you

Chapter 549 Lan Qi begins the repair work of the statue
The independent city-state Great Stone Castle, also known as Little Rock.
The cold northern snowfields became hazy in the pre-dawn light, and the temple in Little Rock was already brightly lit and full of people.
Although it is already eight o'clock in the morning, the sky is still not white.
In this city-state, there are only about six or seven hours of daylight.
"I heard that the ceremony was hosted by Lord Algom himself today."
"There are also priests who will supervise the human craftsmen from the Paulante Empire."
"I haven't seen a great craftsman who dared to take over the repair work in many years. For an artist who has the ability to restore a statue of a god, this reward is nothing at all."
What's more, you have to bear the risk and come from the comfortable city-state in the center of the human empire to the land of eternal night.
At present, most orc residents believe that this is a gesture of goodwill from the royal family of the Paulant Empire. The royal family sent a noble and patriotic craftsman who is willing to risk his own life to establish friendship with the orcs in this current situation. .
Many orcs gathered inside and outside the temple, talking.
Their faces were full of anticipation and piety.
As for whether they can be satisfied later, it still depends on whether the craftsman's own level is as reliable as the Paulante royal family guarantees.
Otherwise, if you play tricks on them, it will only make them extremely angry.
The interior of the rock temple is solemn and neat.
The tall stone pillars are engraved with the totems engraved by the Ursine tribe since ancient times, and the walls reflect the murals and patterns symbolizing the God of Rock and Earth, shining brightly under the lights.
At the edge of the altar in the main hall, layers of barriers were released.
The idol of the god of rock and shelter is revealed.
This statue is carved from ancient black granite that is rich in magic energy. It is about three meters high. Every detail of its maintenance reveals the respect that the Ursine tribe has had for it from generation to generation.
The expression on the face of the statue is firm and calm, and its hands are holding a huge stone hammer, which seems to symbolize strength and commitment.
The orc priests in the temple wore the traditional sacrificial robes of Gretel Castle and began praying early. The atmosphere was both tense and solemn.
The Lord Argom and Priest Elena of Little Rock have been waiting here in advance, as well as many city-state dignitaries who have witnessed the repair ceremony of admiring the statue.
As time passed, Lan Qi, who had changed into a set of loose work clothes, walked into the temple.
Sigre stood at the side of the temple entrance from a distance, looking at him.
