Don't confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 750 Lan Qi’s night tour of the capital

"Mr. Barton Hall, I would like to ask you to help keep the blood viscount. I will try my best to avoid contact with your Brilda Mafia in the near future. I have reached an agreement with Ifatia. She can interrogate the blood viscount at will. ”

Lanci quickly followed Barton and re-entered the winding passage leading to the ground.

Thalia walked beside Lanqi silently.

 Pretending not to have particularly high intelligence, it is just a simple, beautiful and powerful summoned creature, controlled and commanded by him.

"take care."

Barton understands where Landry is coming from.

 The disappearance of a vampire viscount will inevitably let the vampire know that the plan to kill Elsa failed.

Landry once again brought Elsa from the Mafia territory back to St. Clair's Abbey in a grand manner.

 At that time, the target of criticism will naturally be pointed at Professor Landry.

  As for him, Mafia leader Patton was not supposed to be a figure who would appear today.

Although Professor Landry may later attract the hatred of the vampires for protecting Elsa, it is natural for his brother to protect his sister, and now he has a good reputation in Brilliant. Judging from the vampires' action patterns and styles , they still need to abide by Brilda's rules.

Considering the cost, the Vampires may not try to touch him again.

If the vampire really wants to overturn the table and use force to deal with his little Professor Landry, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they will risk being discovered from the dark and losing everything, and will be forced to end.

The dim yellow lights above their heads flickered on and off, making their figures become slimmer.

The walls made of forbidden magic steel glowed with a cold metallic luster, cutting off all the noise from the outside world. Only the sound of footsteps was particularly obvious.

 Turning the last corner, the magic energy elevator leading to the Hassel Building, the headquarters of the underground mafia, appeared in front of you again.

“Before I send you away, is there anything I need to cooperate with?”

Barton stopped and suddenly turned around and spoke.

He received Yifatiya's request to help Landry.

“I heard from Ifatia that Mr. Barton is very familiar with Abigail, a talented craftswoman from the empire. We may not see each other for a while, so I would like to ask you to introduce her to me first.”

Lan Qi nodded and asked unceremoniously.

 “Abigail…”

Barton thought about it for a while,

“It’s not easy to see her. Her principle is that she will not easily step out of her safe zone.”

He answered the professor confidently, and the conversation echoed in the empty corridor.

　　Barton discovered that he was very interested in the spatial enchantment of the palace when he brought Landry here.

Even without observing these, it is easy to understand why Professor Landry wanted to find Abigail.

As the only space-based magic craftsman in the empire, Abigail's status in the empire's magic engineering community is like that of an emperor. Even if she does not need to do any academic research, her right to speak is extremely high.

However, the imperial military is currently unable to hire her as a royal craftsman.

If Professor Landry can convince her, to the imperial military, the value of Professor Landry's team will be coupled with Abigail's value.

  “You can probably tell.”

Lan Qi sighed and smiled.

 From Abigail’s work, this underground palace, we can see that Abigail attaches great importance to safety and concealment.

Some magic craftsmen can reach a very high level by following the elites of the shadow world as special assistants, but they themselves will not study too much frontal combat.

Abigail's own combat power may be quite fragile, but if she is in a carefully arranged area, the nature is completely different.

　　　…”

Barton's hand was placed on the button that activated the magic energy elevator, and his brief silence made the underground passage become quiet again.

As the leader of the mafia, he cannot leave this area casually, otherwise he will attract too much attention. There are many people in the empire watching him. Even if he changes his identity and goes to the Brilda Opera House, his whereabouts can easily be inferred. .

　　Tonight, the vampires must not find out that he was in contact with Professor Landry.

It is certainly impossible for him to directly take Professor Landry to Abigail.

“Can I contact Miss Abigail using communication magic?”

Lanci asked tentatively.

 He felt that Barton did not trust communication magic because Barton had said that there was a risk of being monitored when used within the empire.

What Barton is afraid of may not be detection methods, but divination methods. If there is no specific shielding method, it will be impossible to prevent it.

"…not very convenient."

Barton hesitated for a moment and opened the door of the magic energy elevator.

 “That’s okay.”

Lanchi took Talia and followed Barton into the silver-white magic-forbidden steel staircase.

Seeing Barton's reaction, he guessed that Barton's method might actually exist, but Barton might still think it couldn't be used after weighing the risks.

 Lanci will not embarrass Barton, because Barton is already a very sincere and down-to-earth person. This mafia leader must have principles and difficulties.

With a loud "creak", the helicopter slowly went up, and the surrounding air gradually became warmer.

“Later, I’ll help you contact her, and I’ll help you make an appointment to see her later.”

Barton suggested to Lanci and Thalia.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Barton, but I have to arrange the follow-up time."

 Lanci counted his upcoming schedule, which was almost full. If he wanted to see Abigail, he would have to turn down certain agendas.

"or…"

Barton thought for a while and continued.

 “Or what?”

Seeing that Barton was still undecided, Lan Qi asked him softly.

“You guys can go find her directly, try to contact her, and tell her that an acquaintance has introduced you to her, and that will be easy.”

 Barton gave another most secure plan,

"As long as Abigail can give you a chance to talk alone, you can tell her that I introduced you, and she will at least give me some face, but how to convince her to help you depends on you. "

This way there is no risk, and it allows Professor Landry to see Abigail as soon as possible, and the process is quite natural, and the relationship between the three parties will not be noticed by the vampires.

After witnessing that Landry could even convince his boss Efatia, Barton would no longer question Landry's negotiating ability, and there was no need to worry about Landry's safety.

“Can we go find her tonight? Do you know where she is tonight?”

Thalia suddenly looked expectant.

She knew that if she went to see Abigail later, Lan Qi's already dense schedule would become even more intensive. She still hoped that Lan Qi could rest well and not work too much. "Yes, she lives upstairs at the Brilliant Opera House, or the entire top floor belongs to her. She is also a famous director responsible for literary and artistic work."

Button raised his hand from his long coat and traced the rough direction of Brilda's map with his fingers on the air in front of him, indicating to Landry and the others a safe path from the Mafia territory to the Brilda Opera House.

 He believed that Professor Landry must know about this famous opera house in the empire.

 Located in the center of Manhot, Brilda, on Broadway 33, it is adjacent to famous art institutions such as the Brilda Voices and the Royal Dance Company of Brilda.

It was founded during the Seiros Empire, the predecessor of Creation, and the current building was built in 1662. It has about 3,800 seats. The performance season is from September to May of the following year, performing various classical and contemporary operas, and inviting The world's top actors, singers and conductors.

October is a good time now.

 In recent years, the Brílda Opera has begun to broadcast live performances on Radio Cregen, and has a large number of listeners across the country, and even in the southern continent before the war.

Today, this historic theater was bought and taken over by Abigail with a huge sum of money. At the same time, she was able to live above the theater thanks to her unique and distinguished status.

 “It’s really rich.”

 Lanci imagined that even Hubao would not buy the entire Icerite Opera House at any time.

Probably only Duke Miriam had such financial resources and the face that the city government was willing to sell the opera house to him.

"What, are you envious of others? If I work hard, I can also make a lot of money through the magic craftsman license."

Thalia hummed.

Now she is no longer an unemployed vagrant, but an excellent 25-year-old unmarried woman with a platinum-level card maker status and a successful career. Even if Nan Wantina finds out there is something wrong with her household registration, she will beg her to be there. Settled in South Wantina.

If Lan Qi has money worries and calls her a rich woman, she might be willing to take care of this apprentice for a few more years.

Noe Wilford must also really hope that she can teach Ranchi more.

 “Then why don’t I just go to Hyperion?”

Ranchi asked.

Hyperion is not only a rich woman, but also younger.

　　　…”

The air suddenly became deathly still.

Thalia seemed unable to answer this question.

"You don't understand the beauty of older women! Don't you always talk about charm and charm? Do girls younger than you have the charm that you like? I, I actually don't care, really, you What I like has nothing to do with me, it's just that I have a friend, yes, I'm talking about Antanas, Sinora, Artis, and Epatia. Which of them is not older than you? Once they realize what you are thinking, they will definitely break through their defenses..."

Her tone became a little hasty, and she resisted the urge to hold him down and reason, and gave him a long lecture in her mind.

“…Then I’ll find someone who is a rich woman and is older.”

Lan Qi responded speechlessly.

 “Of course, that’s right, youpin.”

Thalia flipped her hair proudly, became refreshed for a moment, and praised Lan Qi.

"Meow…"

The cat boss on the ground couldn't hear what Lanqi and Thalia were secretly chatting about, but he could probably guess that the third runner-up was popping champagne.

“If you book tickets for tonight’s opera in advance, you can enter the Grand Theater.”

Barton was halfway through explaining the map to Ranchi when his hand stopped again and his face showed a little embarrassment.

“Perhaps there may be a chance to see Abigail more directly as the director supervising the scene. Otherwise, we can only find a way to sneak in... but it is difficult to buy tickets.”

Barton said in a deep voice.

The recently staged opera version of "The Romance of the Holy War" has been widely praised. Three casts have been cast in turns, and even though they have been scheduled as much as possible, it is still hard to get a ticket.

I heard that Abigail’s strict selection and intense rehearsals almost made some actors collapse from exhaustion before they managed to achieve the effect she was satisfied with. Correspondingly, her performance was also well received.

If Patton knew earlier, he would definitely prepare tickets for Landry. Now that the opening is approaching, it is difficult for him to get tickets.

“In addition, Professor Landry, you’d better bring a companion with you and go to the opera like a normal date, otherwise it will be too obvious that you are looking for Abigail for the purpose of magic engineering, and she will be very unhappy.”

 Barton added, finding it increasingly difficult,

"Abigail is a genius whose interests and talents are deviated from each other. She has a paranoid personality. What she likes is actually opera. Magical engineering is just an innate talent. She doesn't value it very much, so she hates it. She is used to people who flatter her because of her magic engineering and don't pay attention to her main job. "

Professor Landry has a very sensitive identity. He went directly to see Abigail. His purpose was very clear at first glance. He might not even get a chance to be alone with her. If he talked about Barton's relationship, he would be rejected.

Patton believed that Landry understood what he meant - he should show great respect for the drama Abigail choreographed, watch it carefully with an attitude of appreciation, and then discuss other things with Abigail instead of just ignoring the drama. , going straight to the topic of magic engineering, which will make Abigail's favorability very bad.

 “Huh? Is that opera called “Romance of the Holy War”?”

Lanchi and Thalia looked at each other, and asked Barton in surprise before they had time to consider other things Barton said.

 “Yes, did you happen to buy a ticket?”

Barton raised his eyes and asked.

As long as this problem can be solved, everything else is easy.

 “Perhaps there is.”

 Lanci remembered that when Elsa came to see her brother this afternoon, she asked him if he had time to watch the play in the evening, which happened to be at the Brilliant Opera House.

Elsa and Ursula are definitely not in the mood to watch the opera tonight, and they need to go back to the safety of St. Creation's monastery, so no one will go to see their tickets.

 Bought everything.

Lanchi raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

 It’s only after 7pm.

 The play starts at eight o'clock.

 It's not too late to send Elsa and Ursula back to St. Creation's Abbey!

 “Want to go see a play?”

Lanci asked Thalia tentatively.

Just in time for Talia to use the new identity that Nigel helped Talia arrange.

This way, his work plan for next week will not be completely disrupted, and he can also finish one important thing in advance!

But he was worried that Talia would not be able to accept the content of the opera performance, and it would evoke some embarrassing memories between the two of them.

"just go."

Thalia's cheeks were slightly red, she raised her chin and turned her head sideways, folding her hands and speaking proudly.

 It’s not like she hasn’t dated Lan Qi before, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.

As long as Lan Qi can sit still, she can also sit still.
