MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship-Chapter 680 Thalia wants Kallen to see why she is Ranch
Chapter 680 Thalia wants Kallen to see why she is Teacher Lanqi
The horizon.
The morning sun rises higher and higher.
Light spilled in from the gaps in the wooden railings of the balcony and fell on Lan Qi's face, making his eyelashes tremble slightly.
“Get up.”
A soft voice sounded.
“I love poets... you go to school by yourself, I’ll go to sleep for a while...”
Lan Qi covered her eyes with the back of her hand, somewhat reluctant to get up.
“Are you confused by your sleep?”
The other party sent a question without a questioning tone.
"Huh!"
Lanqi stood at the door and said.
“Tata, let’s go to the Card Creators Association.”
First we went to the restaurant on the lobby side of the first floor of the hotel to have breakfast, and then left the Platinum Palace Spirit Hotel. We walked through the early morning dusk in the old North Shore neighborhood and walked on the road more leisurely.
Lanchi was already ready to go.
“Thank you, Tata.”
The city of Huadu Parrieu is divided into the north bank and the south bank by the Selina River. The north bank is traditionally regarded as the center of academics and art, while the south bank is more commercial. The Huadu Palace and Senate are located in the south. The division of area codes between north and south is quite symmetrical. The area numbers closer to the riverside are smaller, and the area numbers closer to the edge are larger.
"Meow meow."
The cat boss shook his head.
Lanqi always felt that Talia was a little different from the great poet in raising flowers.
Thalia asked as she looked at Lanqi who got out of bed and sat quietly on the chair.
Lan Qi lifted up the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his eyes, his consciousness gradually clearing up.
Lan Qi immediately stopped thinking and ran to wash up and change clothes.
Thalia and Cat Boss didn't wait long.
Thalia replied.
“Stop talking, I’m worried that one day that person will find Icerita and she will get lost near the Cat Boss restaurant.”
…”
But fortunately, the restaurant was surrounded by old acquaintances, and anyone she met could lead her to the right path.
Her figure was facing away from the morning sun, and the morning light gave her long hair a faint glow.
No matter what, living with Thalia was something he still hadn't gotten used to.
“Then tell me how I can get you used to it.”
Lan Qi said to himself somewhat nostalgically.
Thalia heard Lan Qi's thoughts, closed her eyes and said.
Lan Qi sat up suddenly and found the gray-haired beauty sitting on the chair next to the bed.
The two of them set off.
According to Sigrid’s letters, she will probably arrive in Icerita around October to November, around the time of autumn and winter.
"If you want, I can give you a kick like her, but I can't control the severity."
She looked through the book and asked the little black cat on the ground.
There is a comfortable cotton sofa placed next to the bedroom of the hotel room, and a map guide with a printed bookmark is placed on the round glass coffee table next to it.
"First of all, the great poet has no power consumption. At that time, I basically don't have difficulty getting up. Secondly, when I am feeding small animals on the window sill in the morning, she will come over and kick me, asking me to give up my position to her to water the flowers. .”
Today they will first go to District 3 on the south bank to find Countess Rosalinda, the president of the Parrieux branch of the Card Creators Association.
District 3 of Nan'an is also a very popular area for tourists.
“Isn’t this map very simple? Why can anyone recognize Lan Qi’s mistake?”
Poet lovers enjoy the process of growing beautiful flowers, and they have the vitality of a little girl.
The cat boss ran over and squatted on the carpet.
"no no!"
Now that they have left Icerita College, they have entrusted the Student Service Center to clean and take care of the potted plants regularly.
To some extent, she seemed to have moved the position of her chair so that she could block Lan Qi's face from the sun so that he would not be woken up too early by the dazzling sunrise.
Some time ago, his ace card, Love Poet, is no longer available and has become Thalia for the time being.
Only when she was living in Lan Qi's dormitory, she had already finished watering before Lan Qi got up.
Thalia sat on the sofa, opened the atlas, and waited for Lanci.
“I also helped Lan Fu take care of the flowers she raised on the balcony.”
Today is not an official day for work. Just a trip to the Parrieux branch of the Card Creators Association can give you a whole afternoon of rest.
After coming to Parrieux, time flew by.
As an enthusiastic citizen, he has done a lot of good things these days.
“I said you lived like this every day when you went to the Northern Continent?”
As soon as she walked out of the Platinum Palace Spirit Hotel, Thalia listened carefully to Lan Qi's heart and asked him.
“Not really, I had more leisurely days in the Northern Continent.”
Lanqi quickly noticed her, tilted his head and replied.
多多多多多.”
The cat boss made a sound of unexplained grievance.
Every time he recalls the adventures of the blue cat, he feels that it is really good to come back alive.
It does not have the eighth-level disease, but it has the eighth-level fate.
Two people were strolling through the streets of Parrieux with their cats in their arms.
On the way, I passed by the Platinum Palace where Parrieux had not checked in for so many days.
Cross the Selina River from the River Harbor Bridge connecting the north bank and the south bank.
About half an hour after a simple transfer at Nan'an.
The two arrived at the South Continent Card Makers Association located near Parrieux Pedestrian Square in South Bank District 3.
Different from the Card Makers Association they saw in Ikerita, the capital of King Hutton.
The branch of Posen Kingdom looks more like an art gallery.
This building was originally a greenhouse built by King Posen to protect the citrus trees in the royal garden from the cold winter before the Holy War began more than a hundred years ago. It was originally designed to store the citrus trees used by the royal family, and was later transformed. As a place to display art works, it was planned to become the highest branch of the Southern Continent Card Makers Association stationed in the Posen Kingdom.
The art museum is famous for its collection of Impressionist paintings. The first two floors are public areas popular with tourists. Starting from the third floor is the Card Makers Association area that requires registration.
It has undergone several renovations, the most recent of which was completed five years ago. The renovation restored natural light and added underground exhibition rooms, temporary exhibition spaces, auditoriums, educational spaces and a library.
After the two people entered the building, they quickly walked up to the upper level along the clear signposts under a painting.
“What time is Countess Rosalinda’s appointment?”
Thalia looked at Lan Qi beside her and asked.
“It’s half past eight, there’s still plenty of time, we can take a walk first.”
Lan Qi looked around and estimated that it was not even eight o'clock now.
The design of the building allows many works to be displayed under natural light, providing visitors with an immersive viewing experience.
"good."
They saw many promotional posters about the platinum level card maker exam before they entered the area on the third floor.
Even in the morning, there were many people visiting the branch of the Southern Continent Card Makers Association. In addition to card production entrustment, business cooperation, material procurement, official consultation and other matters, some people even just looked at the badges or the logo on the chest. A registered card maker with high authority was chatting on the third floor.
This year, it is said that several gold-level card makers who are particularly famous in the eastern countries of the Southern Continent will participate. They are the popular candidates to win the title of platinum-level card makers in the eastern region this year.
This international event, which only happens once every two or three years, has naturally attracted the attention of the Poisson Kingdom. On the day of the final test, some princes from the Senate will attend to watch, and law and order will be maintained by the Senate's executive troops and executioners.
Parieux Card Makers Association Branch, third floor.
An atrium surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, with a large area of transparent natural light making the entire floor as clear as day.
“By the way, how long has it been since you made a new magic card?”
Thalia and Lan Qi were shopping in this area. She found that Lan Qi didn't pay much attention to the new materials in the window, and looked away after just one glance, so she asked Lan Qi.
She felt that Lan Qi seemed to be less and less interested in card making.
Perhaps after a while she won’t even be asked to be a teacher.
“As for new cards, it seems that nothing has been released in the past six months.”
Lan Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thought about it carefully. From the Fusion Wolf onwards, all of his card making were the same, and he had basically started making cards.
The two of them walked on a dark brown carpet, which went straight through the inside of the atrium. On both sides were display windows of numerous classified goods, as well as counters and meeting areas for business.
“Then do you plan to continue learning card making from me in the future?”
Thalia asked him as she looked at the products behind the glass display window.
"If you find it troublesome...forget it, I'll go learn some magic crafting skills in human language and magic from Professor Borao and I'll make do with it."
Lanqi hesitated for a moment and then replied.
“Didn’t you ask me to teach you how to make cards at first? Why are you like this now?”
There was no emotion in Thalia's words, but the eyes staring at Lan Qi seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Lan Qi's lack of perseverance.
"Because, I feel that it is quite tiring for you to teach me, and you are getting more and more cruel to me. You would never scold me when you were teaching me before."
Lan Qi looked away and muttered.
“That’s because you made a mistake again in that step last night. You have already made a mistake in the same place several times.”
Thalia frowned as she looked at Lanqi's usual green tea appearance.
They are still practicing card making, or this is their daily course.
“I thought the problem was not big at the time and could actually be fixed, but you didn’t care about me at all.”
Lan Qi lowered his head and said.
“If I am influenced by you, I don’t know whether you can save me or not, and I will also be led into chaos by you.”
Thalia took a deep breath and spoke to him patiently.
She didn’t know whether she had high blood pressure because she thought about yesterday’s card-making failure, or because she felt a little panicked when she heard that this guy no longer wanted to be her master and apprentice. Anyway, she was a little angry now.
"I think this is a normal mistake... When I made cards with Lanfu before, she helped me make up for it..."
Lanchi muttered.
“Why are you still talking back to me? You can’t accept any mistakes?”
Talia immediately became unhappy when she heard this.
"I was too gentle before, or you are in the rebellious stage."
She felt like she was getting angry.
Why can Lanfu help you recover? Do you think she is better than me?
“Meow meow, stop arguing. We are in the Card Creators Association. Don’t start arguing in the examination room.”
The cat boss was so frightened that he felt that Lan Qi was also a little dissatisfied, so he made Tata angrier and angrier.
“It won’t make any noise!”
They both shouted to the little black cat.
Huddled into a ball by the fierce cat boss.
Although I am used to seeing Ranchi and Tata bickering, every time they quarrel the most fiercely, it must be when making cards and copying cards.
It has now been discovered that there is a game called Breakup Card Making Room. Even if these two people are really dating, sooner or later they will have a quarrel over card making and break up!
“The couple was quarreling.”
“It’s so normal, that’s how love is.”
The cat boss listened to the sound of eating melon from the customers who briefly glanced at him, and he became more rounded.
Continue to persuade him, and the one who tried to persuade him will also be noticed.
…”
Ranchi and Thalia's voices soon stopped.
They also discovered that it was not a good idea to quarrel on such occasions.
More importantly, they were clearly not a couple, but they were misunderstood as a couple.
Made them feel even more terribly embarrassed.
“Tata, why don’t you go to the restaurant upstairs to eat some lime cheesecake, and we can sit down and chat slowly.”
"good…"
When they both felt extremely uncomfortable by the occasional glance, the two of them also reached a consensus to leave here first.
They are the examiners and examiner assistants specially invited for this platinum level card maker examination. It would be a shame if they were caught by Countess Rosalinda like this.
Just as Lanci and Talia were about to leave the third-floor atrium and head towards the fourth-floor stairs.
“Lan Qi-san?”
A slightly familiar voice stopped Lan Qi.
Lan Qi stopped slightly hesitantly and looked back.
He saw a young girl looking at him in surprise.
Her long, light-colored hair rested gently on her shoulders, and she wore an unadorned white chiffon shirt on her upper body. Although she was petite and slender, her straight back and chest raised pushed her pure white chiffon shirt upwards. Tight.
It seems that because Lan Qi and Talia are more conspicuous, they happened to attract her attention.
The girl with light hair and green eyes stared at Lanqi and Thalia heading towards the stairs in surprise.
“I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Then she smiled and walked briskly.
“Senior Kallen?”
Lanci looked at Karen.
Her every step seemed to carry the rhythm of a dance, making the air around her feel light.
He probably thought that he would see this senior student from Aloran Royal Academy in the Posen Kingdom.
But she hadn’t met her by chance in the past few days, and she met her as soon as she came to the association today. It seemed that she had been immersed in the Card Creators Association during the period before the exam started.
The last time I saw Karen was when I was observing Dean Loren's [Original Slate - Wind]. That time Kallen made a pink sacred spell card [Phantom of Wind], but he only made an ordinary white one, which made him admire Kallen.
“This month I went to Icerita College with the academic visiting team and I didn’t even see you.”
Kallen came to a stop in front of them and looked at Lan Qi meaningfully.
“Sorry, I was a little busy some time ago and couldn’t take care of you.”
Lanqi sighed,
“Dean Loren really needs my help.”
"I heard that you can pass through the seventh-level shadow world. You are indeed a disciple valued by the most powerful priest Loren in Hutton."
Kallen nodded and spoke smoothly and elegantly, like a lady who stepped out of a classical novel, expressing her thoughts gracefully,
“I really underestimated Junior Lan Qi back then. He is really a man that impressed me.”
She looked at Lan Qi with a smile, her eyes showing favor.
In fact, she had just come from the Hutton Kingdom in the past two days. Because she had to take the platinum level card maker exam, she left the Aloran academic visiting team.
In a few days, when the academic visiting team completes its work, it will return to the Aloran Kingdom from the Hutton Kingdom in the east, pass through the Posen Kingdom between the two countries, and meet up with her.
…”
Thalia noticed Kallen approaching without any sense of distance, and looked at the two of them without changing her expression.
Listening to the conversation between Lan Qi and Kallen just now, she also had a general understanding of the woman in front of her who seemed to be an acquaintance of Lan Qi.
"Who is this?"
As if she suddenly realized it, Kallen moved her curious eyes to Thalia next to Lanci.
“Miss Tata.”
Lan Qi introduced her.
Thalia looked at Kallen and nodded slightly in greeting.
“Oh? Are you taking the exam together this time?”
Karien asked again.
“No, she is my teacher.”
Lan Qi shook his head.
“I can’t tell at all. She is so young... I heard the quarrel just now and thought you two were not on good terms.”
Kallen thought for a while, as if she had some idea in her mind, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up with a hint of relief.
…”
The cat boss on the counter next to him had just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that something bad had happened again!
Have heard of this card maker named Kallen.
She has some issues with her personality. She wants to break up a couple when she sees them, and she has a hunter-like interest in men with potential.
She might have looked down on Lan Qi at the beginning, but Lan Qi is no longer what he used to be. He has proven that he is the true successor of the great priest through the seventh-level shadow world!
Even if no one knows now that Lan Qi is also a platinum-level card maker, just because Lan Qi is a challenger of the shadow world, he is also a very good person who can protect the card maker.
“We really don’t have a good relationship.”
Thalia did not deny Kallen's statement, and she did not forget to look up at Lanqi.
On the contrary, if someone says that they have a good relationship, she will be anxious with that person.
“Oh, I just saw you guys arguing so fiercely... I really feel sorry for you.”
Hearing this, Kallen seemed to be unable to hold back her laughter, but she held it back again, looked at Lan Qi solemnly and said softly.
The way she looked at Thalia was like she was smiling—
Aren't you giving a man to me?
"Why do you feel sorry for him? It's his fault in the first place."
Thalia asked without rising in her voice.
Although she rarely had such an attitude towards people she had just met, she felt that there was something very similar to Lan Qi about this girl named Kallen, which she particularly disliked.
“Sister Tata, you have to be a little considerate of Lan Qi.”
Kallen still had an innocent expression and answered in a soft and elegant tone,
"Lan Qi, if you feel you have something to say, you can go to the rest area over there and have a good chat with me. I will listen to you slowly, and - I will never be harsh on you."
She looked at Lan Qi again, stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeves.
…”
Lan Qi’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He felt Thalia looking at him.
The cat boss looked at Lanqi's hands that seemed to be shaking a little, and he felt that things were even worse!
Previously at Icerite Academy, when faced with Kallen’s schemes, a low-level straight man like Prince Ainol might fall for it.
Any boy with a high rank will resolutely reject Kallen at this time, express his position, and gain Tata's favorability.
But Lanci.
His segmentation is dualistic.
His just-right hesitation actually gave Tata a sense of crisis, controlling her anger to the point where she wanted to explode or not!
And to some extent, Lanci may not even have thought about it that much.
He simply likes to make Tata explode and feel the ultimate excitement!
However.
Under the extreme mental pressure, Lan Qi gradually changed from arrogant to well-behaved.
“I’m sorry, Karen-senpai, although Tata is very fierce, I think this is also part of her charm.”
Lanqi said.
Thalia, who originally planned to give Lanci a death stare and warn him to think carefully, finally tilted her head.
Despite this, she still bit her lip, feeling a little resentful.
This guy dared to make a fool of himself and say she was cruel.
But I couldn't refute his words.
“That’s it…”
Karien could only helplessly throw a smile at Lan Qi who was standing opposite.
This smile is 70% apologetic and 30% regretful.
It seems that he really wants to help Lan Qi, but he really can't help Lan Qi.
"But I think if Lan Qi is looking for a teacher, someone as gentle as me might be more suitable. I overheard what you were talking about at the beginning. It seems that your cooperation in card making is not going well? If Lan Qi and I cooperate, it should be It will be perfect."
Karien’s voice became lower and lower, and she moved half a minute closer to Lan Qi and spoke.
Her peach-like tender lips and blurred eyes seemed to be telling Lan Qi that maybe if she worked hard, she could conquer me, too?
Then she looked at Thalia again, and the look in her eyes almost told her, "Unlike you, I will only be cruel to Lan Qi."
…”
The atmosphere of the entire three-story atrium seemed to have quietly changed at this moment.
Under the silence, there was a hint of silent chill.
Thalia finally looked at Kallen's golden eyes seriously.
This is a sign that gunpowder is about to smoke, making people feel depressed and nervous.
The cat boss’s eyelids have started to twitch wildly.
“Can you stay away from him, you shameless bad woman?”
Thalia grabbed Lanqi's wrist and pulled him sharply, so that Kallen could no longer touch his cuffs.
Lan Qi was stunned.
This was the first time he saw the grumpy old Ta, quarreling with other girls.
But.
Carlen, however, was not offended by Thalia's words and still maintained her ladylike appearance.
"There is no such thing as a bad woman. You will only be angry and wait for him to coax you, but then the girls who really care about him will come to comfort him."
She looked directly at Thalia, her expression half-concentrated, and said.
In just a few seconds, it attracted the attention of many people in the third-floor atrium.
The drama of women quarreling, and the quarrel is because of men, is a lively and popular event no matter what era.
“Isn’t that girl Kallen from the Aloran Kingdom?”
“Is she interested in the noble young master with black hair and green eyes?”
“He looks so cowardly, trembling with fear.”
First of all, rule out the possibility of a neurotic person who can tremble with excitement in this situation.
The answer is obviously, this man is quite a scumbag and wants to eat both ends.
finally.
"Lan Qi, I have changed my mind. Please forgive me for refusing to accompany you on this assistant job. I want to take the platinum level card maker exam and show her why I am your teacher."
Thalia took a deep breath, looked at Lan Qi, and said to him.
Of course, she told Karen.
She was already feeling uncomfortable after going to court with Lan Qi to review yesterday's card, and now there was a woman she couldn't tolerate.
Lan Qi, who had a calm expression at first, suddenly widened his eyes.
“Auntie, please, don’t mess with me!”
He almost fell to his knees and hugged Thalia's thighs.
Not only did you not help me invigilate the exam, you also used my magic power to take the exam.
And how can I test you?
Sister, you are 800 years old, so don’t get to know a teenage girl!
Thalia seemed to be even more angry when she heard Lan Qi's voice.
She grabbed Lan Qi’s collar, brought him closer to her, and said to him with side eyes:
“That’s it, okay?”
“No, no, no, Tata, calm down!”
Lan Qi felt that she was really angry this time, and he was a little scared.
"Same for you, Kallen. At this time, you are all getting a little carried away. Usually when you and I can't stop talking, it means we shouldn't continue talking. If this continues, we will definitely quarrel. We still value peace. It would be good to maintain the long-standing friendship between the Kingdom of Hutton and the Kingdom of Aloran..."
His words were coming faster and faster, urging both sides to exercise restraint.
“Oh, interesting.”
Before Lan Qi could finish speaking, Thalia stopped Lan Qi from continuing to speak, and Kallen nodded and muttered to herself.
"Well, if your grades are not as good as mine, please stay away from Lan Qi in the future, or give him to me and let me be his teacher."
Kallen looked particularly interested and said to Thalia as if she had found an opponent.
She has already known about the card makers of the Hutton Kingdom. This year, there is not even one player who can make an exception to participate in the gold-level card makers. She does not think that this person named Tata is qualified to compete with her.
Only in making cards, she will not lose to her peers.
“Then I win.”
Thalia neither agreed nor objected, she just asked.
“I apologize to you.”
Karien spread her hands and said lightly.
“It’s not enough. You can change into the swimsuit designated by me, get a sign, write ‘Mr. Tata, I was wrong’, and stand downstairs of the Card Creators Association for a day. This will be considered an apology.”
Thalia sneered, and then waited quietly, folding her arms in front of her.
In an instant, Karen’s eyebrows trembled visibly.
She clenched her fists tightly and felt her ears starting to feel hot.
“Do you think I would bet with you easily? What, now you don’t dare?”
Thalia's eyes were full of provocation.
She won’t fall for the green tea trick easily.
Aren’t you trying to pretend to be innocent?
Let people see what kind of Bichi you are then.
…”
Karien bit her lip, and the veins on her forehead pulsed.
This woman with gray hair and golden eyes is more powerful and arrogant than she imagined.
“Okay, let’s give it a try.”
Carlen narrowed her eyes and smiled, and said to Thalia.
She couldn't wait to see the other person crying like a defeated dog.
“What kind of plane are you doing...”
Hearing this, Lan Qi was heartbroken and hugged the cat.
He leaned against the wall as if he had lost all strength.
He couldn’t imagine what it would be like during the exam days.
Taking a step back, why should they, two candidates, bet on him as an examiner?
As Talia is a candidate, he is a little worried about his own safety as an examiner. Currently, there has not been an incident where an examiner was captured by a candidate in the platinum level card maker exam, but he is afraid that there will be one soon.
“Let’s go and eat cake.”
Thalia grabbed Lan Qi's collar again and took the faded Lan Qi away like a puppy.
Kallen was left alone, with a sly and angry smile gradually forming on her lips.
“What a stupid woman.”
Carlen opened her lips slightly and looked away from the direction where Thalia disappeared.
The gray-haired fool lost when he agreed to the bet.
She didn't notice Lan Qi's troubled expression at all.
Soon he will find out which girl treats him better and who he feels more comfortable being around.
There is no heroine in this world who can win by eating!
