Don't confiscate my citizenship

That night, Sigre finally took Lan Qi to an independent city-state called Great Stone Castle, also known as Little Rock.

The sky turned dark early, and only the twilight and lights became the signposts for their progress.

Under the towering city gate, it is covered with snow.

It has been dark for three or four hours, but it turns out it's only seven o'clock.

Lan Qi stepped off the sleigh, took out his pocket watch from his pocket, took a look at it and sighed.

In Little Rock, I'm afraid there are only a few hours of daylight, and it gets even less as you go further.

This is also the reason why this snowfield is called the land of eternal night.

At first, he and Sigrid went to the northernmost city of Bandera in the Protos Empire. If they went further north, they would enter a similar area known as Eternal Night in the world.

Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether it's dark or dawn, I will deliver you on time according to the contract.

Sigre had already jumped off the sled ahead of Lan Qi and started carrying his luggage.

Since this guy seemed to be carrying a lot of tools, his luggage was very heavy, with three boxes in total.

Including her own, there were four.

Um.

Lan Qi watched Sigre working.

One of the reasons why the secretary recommended Sigre to him was that she had super endurance at night, and could almost ignore the poor visibility at night and snowy weather to deliver customers to their destinations.

If she were the driver, the two of them would basically be able to stop at an orc city-state every day, six in total, and they would successfully reach the Demon Realm on the seventh day.

As soon as the two arrived in the city, they could see the inn, which, for a small fee, provided a resting camp for adventurers and their mounts on the journey.

Sigre led the snowfield deer and the sleigh to the orcs at the inn. These experienced caregivers quickly took the deer over to feed and groom them, ensuring that they would be properly rested and cared for tonight.

By the way, I want to remind you that due to the recent situation in the Paulante Empire, there may be some things on the snowfield that no one wants to see. You must be mentally prepared.

Sigre walked back to Lan Qi and said while waiting for the bus on the side of the road.

This is also the reason why she has been reluctant to take on new jobs recently.

Unfortunately, the price given by the other party was too high.

As long as this order is completed, it will be enough for the church orphanage to have no worries for a whole year. Even if a war breaks out, the nuns can take the children to escape to neighboring countries without becoming refugees.

Okay, but can you tell me in detail what kind of creature it is? So I can be mentally prepared.

Lan Qi asked with interest.

That group of vampires... If the Horning Empire covets the Paulante Empire, it is likely that it has already begun to infiltrate the Kingdom of Fuklo and the Kingdom of Edith on the east and west sides of the Empire of Polante. As long as it passes through the two kingdoms, it can Go to the snowfield and make arrangements in advance.”

Sigre didn't intend to let Lan Qi believe it, she just said a few words casually,

The Blood Tribe will definitely want to blockade the northern snowfield behind the Polante Empire and then encircle and encroach on the Polante Empire on land. Of course, this is all my guess, and it may be very different from what those imperial politicians think. After all, they think the enemy More of the Horning Empire than the Blood Clan.”

She knew that an artist like her client would be more trusting of powerful people of equal status to him and would not take her one-sided words seriously, so she didn't mind saying it.

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.

Lan Qi looked at Sigre 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.

The vampires 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. .

As you go deeper into the Land of Eternal Night, it will start to get worse, until in the last city-state, you will almost never 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.
