Chapter 328: Lanqi Wilford's Escape Plan
Ten days later, it was late March in the Protos Empire.
The sky was full of frost and snow, and the vast snowfield extended to the horizon, blending into the gray and white sky. All the original outlines on the snow were covered by thick snow.
Hundreds of kilometers outside the city of Bandera, near the northern border province, there was still no one living, only barren snowfields.
The further north you go, the more common abnormal and severe weather is. It is common to be unable to travel for two or three days due to weather, and the scattered snow-covered cities and towns are becoming fewer and fewer.
Under the vast white snow, a sled suddenly appeared on the hillside, cutting through the frost and snow on the ground, and startling a white storm.
"Woo, take off!"
"Faster, faster!"
"Meow meow meow! You two drive slower, don't fall off the cliff!"
The sudden laughter and childish screams were particularly clear in the wind and snow.
The two people sitting on the sled, even though the air was filled with the smell of cold and a hint of frost, could not cover up the excitement on their faces.
I saw Lanqi and Sid sitting on the sled, and the black fox in front was pulling the sled all the way. The tip of its ear was burning with golden flames, and snowflakes were flying under its powerful footsteps. Every step was deeply imprinted in the snow, leaving golden light and shadows of varying depths.
Boss Cat was clinging to Lanqi's clothes.
It could see that Lanqi and Sid were really having fun!
If it was Tata who was next to Lanqi at this time, she would definitely ask Lanqi to drive slower with a stern face, and if it was Hugh Bao, she would probably remind Lanqi to pay attention to safety on the snowfield in a tactful way. Only Sid would ask Lanqi to drive faster.
"Meow! Don't drive so fast!"
Boss Cat knew that he had completely lost control of Lanqi, but he still screamed desperately.
"What? Not fast enough?"
Lan Qi lowered his head in the howling snow and wind and asked the cat boss in his arms.
He immediately lowered his body, shook the reins of the sled, and signaled the big fox to run faster.
"Meow!!"
The cat boss opened his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of snow.
Until the sled flew down the hillside and gradually stabilized on the snow, the body painted with crimson paint slowed down again, still very conspicuous in the snow.
"Haha, even if I fall, I won't be hurt anyway, and he... doesn't he have a wind-attribute wheelchair?"
Cid laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She turned her head and looked at the little black cat on Lan Qi's leg and said.
She knew that Lan Qi had a lot of strange equipment magic cards.
Considering the secrecy of the final destination investigation, the two once again changed their identities and appearances after leaving the snowfield province.
They did not continue to use the Protos Royal Magic Academy identity of Rocky and Cid, but changed to magic craftsmen and merchants in the Snowfield Province, wanting to do business in the Northern Border Province.
This can prevent them from being tracked back on the way back after investigating anything.
However, Lanqi did have an excessive number of unused high-level purple magic cards in a sealed state, which made him look more like a magic card merchant than a magic card merchant. The advantage of sealing is that it is easy to identify its effect in an ownerless state.
However, the quality of these cards is hard to describe by Cid. Most of them are waste magic cards used for decomposition, and there are all kinds of them. They are not used for the little black cat. Even Cid doesn't understand why he brought so many useless cards.
She only knew that these magic cards were almost all obtained by Lanqi in the imperial capital before leaving, and Miss Duke Kloris helped a lot. She didn't know what deal they reached, so she would pay Lanqi such a large sum of money in advance.
"Meow..."
The cat boss sobbed and didn't respond. It turned into a crying cat head again.
It didn't want to go with these two people.
"If we can dig out some big stuff this time and expose it, the reputation of the empire will be great."
Lanqi slowed down the speed of the sled, loosened the reins with one hand, hugged the cat boss, and said confidently.
The sled continued to move, and its skids rubbed against the thick snow, making a "crackling" sound. The snow marks stirred up behind were like a long tail, stretching endlessly.
Although the wind was howling, the two people on the sled didn't care and still enjoyed the push.
According to the map, there should be a plain in front, no more rugged mountain roads and lakes. At high speed, they should be able to reach the destination of the investigation, Bandera City on the northern border, very soon.
"Didn't the investigation team led by Major General Fan Reku go there first? Maybe he will find the problem first."
Sid answered indifferently.
"Not necessarily. If there is a danger of the eighth level in the north, the investigation team is still not enough."
Lan Qi pondered. He promised Cloris not to tell anyone the secret she told him. For the rest, he still hoped that Sigrid could clearly understand the danger level of the northern border province.
"Those who can reach the seventh level are no longer mortals. It is easy to defeat them, but it is not so easy to kill them."
Cid spread his hands, as if recalling his strength when he just reached the seventh level.
"..."
Lan Qi raised his eyes and looked at Sid, the abnormal human woman.
A full-state seventh level is difficult to fight even if a group of sixth levels fight together, but for the one next to him, it is "very easy to defeat".
Most of the time, Cid gave him the feeling that there was no sense of distance, and her temper was unexpectedly good, which was completely opposite to a certain unmarried woman.
But only when talking about other strong people, could he clearly feel from this cognitive bias that all his previous experiences were not in the same dimension as her power.
"Don't worry, Saint Son, even if you have always been of a low rank, I will not look down on you. I will protect you, and you just need to work hard for me."
Cid grinned, with a childish casualness but as reliable as the promise made by the queen.
"..."
Lanqi was silent for a moment.
"If one day I want to retire and quit, will you let me go?"
In fact, he had already decided to disappear back to the southern continent when the time came, but recently he chatted with Cid every day without any distance, and inexplicably felt a little reluctant to part with Cid as a friend.
If possible, he did not want to be an enemy of the domineering Catholic Sigrid in the future.
"..."
Sid hesitated for a while, then said, "Then let's discuss the score."
"For example?"
"If I have a low impression of you, I will directly regard you as a betrayal and help you to completely retire."
Sid shook his fingers coldly.
"..."
Lanqi didn't know whether she was joking about the consequences of low impressions or really threatening him.
The cat boss who was held by Lanqi was terrified and trembling all over. He knew that Lanqi shouldn't have anything to do with this female devil!
It's impossible for her to part ways with you in peace!
"But to be honest, in most cases, if you want to leave, I think I won't let you go easily. I have made an exception and selected you as the Son of God, so you naturally have to serve me forever."
Sid told Lanqi her real answer frankly.
"I understand."
Lanqi nodded, he probably guessed it would be like this.
He looked down at the trembling cat boss and smiled, not nervous at all.
"!"
The cat boss was startled, and he immediately understood this nascent idea.
It could probably guess that if Lanqi wanted to escape, he would use fake death to create the illusion that "Rocky McCarthy" was dead, so that Sigrid would not have the idea of tracking him!
Then this bastard transformed himself and turned back into the "Lanqi Wilford" of the southern continent, and had nothing to do with Sigrid from then on!
But the cat boss was a little scared. If Lanqi really did this, would it trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.
"What if your former saint wants to leave?"
The cat boss swallowed his saliva and dared to ask timidly in his childish voice.
Sigrid had lost a saint before. If she had to choose between "leaving" and "dying" under her, the cat boss didn't know how determined Sigrid would be to betrayers.
If she was really extreme, then Lanqi would have to use fake death to escape!
Hearing this, Sid was stunned for a moment, as if she had never expected this situation.
Finally, she showed a helpless smile.
"I should let her go and let her live the life she wants."
Her voice was rarely filled with guilt and tenderness.
"..."
This time, neither Lanqi nor the cat boss spoke.
It looked up at Lanqi.
It felt that if Lanqi really used fake death escape at that time, it might develop into another kind of newborn situation...
