Do not confiscate my citizenship!!

Chapter 865: Talia is not tough at all

There were already half as many passengers in the aisle as when the train stopped.

Lanqi and Talia walked through the hallway carrying their suitcases, their footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

"Sir, Miss, please show us your tickets and IDs."

A young flight attendant in uniform stood in front and blocked Lanqi and Talia's way in a polite tone.

Although the war situation is now proceeding in an orderly manner towards peace talks, both the empire inside and outside will face a period of turmoil that may be short or long. This is also the period when chaos is most likely to occur, and long-distance identity checks will be quite strict in the near future.

"here."

Lanqi reached into the pocket of his gray coat and took out his and Talia's receipts, then turned around and took the document from Talia's hand, handing it over with a warm smile.

"..."

The flight attendant's gaze lingered on Lanqi's face for a second longer, as if he was admiring this handsome nobleman.

But this short second aroused the dissatisfaction of the gray-haired woman behind the black-haired young man. Her sharp golden eyes made the flight attendant subconsciously look away immediately.

She took the ticket and ID carefully, not daring to touch Lanqi's hand, and checked them carefully with the device in her hand.

That gray-haired girl is so scary. She won't let anyone look at the handsome guy for even a second.

Before I had time to think about it, the flight attendant looked at me in surprise.

"Landry... Professor Wassington?"

The flight attendant whispered the name.

In the capital of Blierda a few days ago, the professor's name did not appear in official announcements and was often circulated among the people.

However, even if there had not been the turmoil of the decisive battle between Hecintus and Emperor Loren, Landry Wasington would have been a very famous military expert in the Cremorne Empire. He was also the chairman of the Empire's New Energy Organization Committee, whose name could often be heard in the news in the past two months.

"Go back home."

Lanqi's unhurried explanation brought the dazed flight attendant back to his senses.

"Please keep your documents. I have finished checking them."

The attendant immediately handed the ticket and ID back with both hands and said.

Professor Landry's registered residence is in Nicksassend on the northwest border, and this trip heading north is undoubtedly the best choice for Professor Landry to return home.

"Room 404, go straight to the end of carriage , the fourth room on the right. Sir, Miss, welcome aboard the Brillda Magic Train, and have a pleasant journey!"

The young flight attendant respectfully stepped aside to make way for Lanqi and Talia.

"Thank you, it's hard work."

Lanqi nodded in thanks and took back his and Talia's tickets and imperial documents.

"Tata, why did the flight attendant suddenly seem frightened just now? Am I that scary?"

Lanqi asked Talia in his heart.

When they attacked Bloodmoon City at the end of last month, Talia once again merged with the Great Love Poet to become the Mad Love Demon King, but the degree of fusion between the two of them was too high, and it took at least a month each time for them to be separated.

Even now, Talia still has to maintain the fusion state.

"I do not know."

Talia stared out the aisle window of the carriage as if nothing had happened.

The interior of the train is in the style of the Cremorne Empire - the walls are inlaid with mahogany, and the old carvings exude a relaxing and subtle fragrance.

"That doesn't make sense. Landry's reputation should be pretty good. I'm doing my best to protect Elsa's reputation. This is my way of repaying the Dimension Saint Landry."

Lanqi touched his head in confusion and crept slowly along the aisle.

"Four zero three, four zero four..."

He silently recited the house number in front of him.

Soon, he found his own box on the right.

I put the ticket on the door lock and pushed it gently, and the heavy wooden door opened.

Since the journey is not too long, the train is not equipped with sleeper berths, but this first-class compartment is luxurious and comfortable enough.

The storage rack is large enough to hold several suitcases.

He and Talia put the luggage in and placed the suitcases properly. Lanqi finally put down the burden on his shoulders and sat in the chair, feeling a different body and mind from when he came to Cremorne.

The velvet cushion is soft and thick, and you feel like your body is sinking into it when you sit on it.

"Huh, it's really easy to get sleepy in the winter. I want to sleep again in the morning."

Lanqi shook his head and hugged the black cat mini pillow.

I set off early this morning, and it’s only a little after seven now. Now that I’m in a comfortable position, I want to catch up on some sleep.

"Then take a nap. I'll call you when we get to the station."

Talia lowered her voice a little, as if she was coaxing a child to sleep.

Lanqi's eyelids gradually drooped twice.

Seems to have given up resistance to sleep.

"Wait, I have to go to the dining car to get some snacks. The next meal won't be for a few hours, and you're going to be hungry."

When Lanqi was about to go to bed, he suddenly remembered the important task. He immediately stood up and talked to himself while staying awake.

"No, I'm not hungry."

Talia couldn't judge whether Lanqi's instinct, which was engraved into his consciousness, was good or bad.

"I'll be hungry."

Lanci spoke firmly to Talia, as if he knew her body better than she did.

"..."

Talia bit her lip with a slight blush on her cheeks and clenched her fists.

What she meant was that if Lanqi didn't go, she would beat him.

Lanqi immediately put down the cat boss and walked quickly out of the box.

"Damn it, why does he understand me so well..."

After confirming that Lanqi had left, Talia said angrily and helplessly.

"Meow, Tata, do you still remember how you two got along in the beginning?"

Boss Cat lay on the table, shaking his head and asked Tata.

It was no longer surprised by Lanqi and Talia's daily chats.

Looking back to when I first met Tata and Ranchi, our relationship was not so good.

It just occasionally saw the black-haired, green-eyed boy coming to the Cat Boss Restaurant to find Tata at a fixed time, so it naturally thought that they were a couple, but later it found out that things were not that simple.

It was very curious about the relationship between the seemingly cold Tata and the gentle boy.

At that time, I originally planned to observe for a while.

Until one day the boy brought another equally beautiful girl with silver hair and amber eyes, and they found Tata together. Only then did Boss Cat resist his curiosity and went to ask Tata about her relationship with the boy.

"At that time...he and I just knew each other, that's all, I was right."

Talia said without any emotion in her voice.

At first, her relationship with Lanqi was just an employment relationship.

And before he pays off his debts, protect him and urge him to pay back the money.

In addition, he would always bring her some good things that would please her. For example, she had always wanted to meet Hyperion. Before she could find a suitable excuse and opportunity to hint to Lanci, Lanci suddenly brought Hyperion to her.

"I asked you at the time if you thought he was a special person, but you yourself didn't even know the definition of 'special', and you still asked me, meow."

Boss Cat lay there and recalled with great nostalgia.

Now, looking back on the days when he saw the boy and the girl meet in the restaurant more than a year ago, he always felt that Tata had a close relationship with the boy.

Tata, who never socializes with other people, can spend a long time with this boy.

"Did I ask you back then, what is 'special'?"

Even though Talia had traveled in the human kingdom for so many years, there were still many human emotions that she did not understand.

She knew that the "special" that Boss Cat asked about that night was not "special" in the literal sense, but special in the sense of "partner" or "love" in the human concept.

"Yeah, I mean, he always makes you happy, and you gradually become inseparable from him without realizing it. You start to care about and be curious about his thoughts, and you, who was originally calm, become easily emotional because of him."

After Boss Cat saw what he said that day, Talia stayed at the front desk, frowning and thinking for a long time, as if she really couldn't understand.

But now look at Talia's expression.

She seemed to have no doubts anymore.

"No, I don't understand."

After hearing what the cat boss said, Talia thought about it, then shook her head firmly.

Gradually, I was happy not only because he had fulfilled my wish, nor because I was no longer dependent on him due to the contract. I had also long figured out what he was thinking in his heart, and sometimes the emotions I felt because of him were not just anger.

This can only mean...

Explanation... Talia thought hesitantly, she could not come to that conclusion even if she died.

She raised her head to look at the cat owner and accidentally caught a glimpse of her own reflection in the window glass.

Outside the window, the mountains are vast and endless. Looking around, the snow-capped trees on the mountains are shining brightly in the winter morning, like a silver heaven.

And the self that was vaguely visible in the reflection had an expression of great excitement in the morning light.

She immediately felt ashamed of her expression and slapped her cheeks.

A princess of the demon clan, not only has she lost to her appetite, but she has also fallen to the point of wanting to marry a human and become a good wife and mother.

If this happened more than a hundred years ago when the demon world still existed, this kind of thing would only make her feel that it would be better to die!
The carriage was unusually quiet, with only the monotonous sound of wheels and tracks to be heard. Talia closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Tata, if I ask you the same question as before, what do you think of Lanqi...what will you answer?"

The cat boss felt that Talia's face had completely betrayed her heart.

Even Xiu Bao gave up the stubbornness, but Talia still seemed to be holding on to something.

"Lanqi? Actually, he's just average. He's just pretty, has a bit of the dignity of a principal, can draw some nice pictures, and has an indelible sense of righteousness in his bones. He hopes to save all souls, worthy and unworthy. He's a bit like my type. I really don't understand why so many people like him. Is it possible not to like him, because he is..."

As soon as Talia heard what the cat boss said, she immediately raised her chin and started talking in a series of sentences, even with a bit of a complaining tone.

"Because he actually has many shortcomings, I won't go into details."

Her tone suddenly changed and she finished in a lowered voice.

"Meow."

The cat owner could only meow.

The demon princesses are all a bit stubborn, but Talia has a stubborn disease that cannot be cured.

It didn't take long.

The door lock clicked.

The door of the box was pushed open again, and Lanqi came in pushing a small dining cart.

"Because I bought a lot, which fit the amount required by their crew to deliver meals, they directly lent me the small food cart. On the way, someone asked me if I would sell it to them. I said no, and that I bought all of it for my elders. Then they asked me how many people were in my family, hahahaha."

Lanqi told Talia and Boss Cat.

"Lanqi, do you want to achieve the Seven Captures achievement?"

Talia immediately raised her head and asked,
"Don't think that I won't do anything to you just because we're on a train. The smaller the space, the easier it will be for me to torment you."

She couldn't count how many times Lanqi had completed the task with just one sentence. She only remembered that she was only one step away from capturing Lanqi for the seventh time.

"My Lord Demon, would you like tea or coffee?"

The smile on Lanqi's face disappeared in an instant. He fixed the dining cart to the table in a dignified manner and returned to face Talia.

"It's all right. I'll drink whatever you drink. It's fine as long as it's the same."

Talia nodded slightly and no longer cared about Lanqi's daily tasks.

We can only make do with this day.

Sometimes, as long as Lanqi didn't make her too angry, she would turn a blind eye. There was still a long time to live, and she couldn't ride on Lanqi and beat him every day.

"Then I'll take a nap first, you eat slowly..."

Lanqi poured the tea, placed it in front of Talia, sat in his seat, and prepared to close his eyes.

He could sleep peacefully knowing that Talia had food to eat.

"and many more."

Talia called out to Lanci, causing him to raise his eyelashes again.

"What's wrong Tata?"

Lanqi looked at Tata who was not in a hurry to eat his meal and asked.

"If you want to rest, do you need me to use my gentle land to help you have a good dream?"

Talia asked Ranci.

She had long been accustomed to using portable shielding magic devices in the carriages of the Kreming Empire. If she used the smallest range of the overflowing gentle land, it would not affect other passengers.

"Why are you suddenly so extravagant?"

Lanqi is often very cautious about using eighth-level magic.

Previously, since this spell might be needed at any time, he would never use this trump card easily.

Now that the holidays are here and there are no more threats, this spell can be used more in the direction of life magic.

But it was still an eighth-tier epic spell after all, and the mana consumption was not small.

"Do you remember that at the end of our time in Shadow World, we got a gift?"

Talia opened the suitcase slightly and took out a sealed letter.

After the simple seal was removed, its surface glowed with a luster of sea blue and orange-yellow, like ripples in the deep sea, as if it were the boundless blue sea of ​​Naikalis Island.

Faintly, there were whispers lingering in the box, like the singing of waves under the clear sky of the devil's world.

"It is a letter from Calliera."

Lanci took the envelope from Talia, and the azure ripples looked particularly soft in the morning light.

【Caliera's Handwriting】

【Category: Artwork】

[Level: Epic]

[Level: 1]

[Those who read this handwriting will have their mental magic and illusion resistance slightly increased, and will feel the company of Kaliela.]

[Note: There is no reason to fear the night, my child of light. Dawn comes slowly, but it will come eventually, and it won't be long after you touch my name.]

They both concluded that it was probably the same as the material from last time, [Kaliera's Shadow Weaving Record], and contained some of Kaliera's magic.

If it is triggered by Talia's spell [Overflowing Tenderness] which has the same magic as Kaliera, it may be possible to stimulate an illusion that resembles Kaliera's innate ability.

Since Kaliera's magic was full of unknowns, if it was activated immediately, it would likely cause them to fall into a dream due to Kaliera's magic and be unable to wake up for a long time, just like when the two of them used Kaliera's Shadow Weaving Recording Card in the Flower City of Pariel.

At that time, they had to return to the real world of the Krelian Empire as quickly as possible, so they did not activate Kaliela's handwritten gift in the last critical space of the shadow world.

"You said, let's wait until the affairs of the Kreihe Empire are over, and then we can go back and watch it together."

Talia hesitated for a moment and continued to ask Lanqi tentatively.

She wasn't sure if Lanqi still remembered the agreement they had made in such a hurry.

"Of course, we made a promise."

Lanqi nodded seriously with certainty.

"Then it's okay for me to use Tenderness Land now."

Talia breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Lanqi still remembered this.

Nowadays, it is really suitable to watch movies on the train, which feels like watching a movie in a private cinema.

"Meow! I don't want to be hit, let me retreat outside, meow."

Boss Cat jumped off the table lightly and ran out of the box.

Someone has to stay awake later so that everyone can't fall asleep. It also has to keep an eye on the two sleeping people to prevent them from missing their stop together.

"If you're not hungry, I'm sure it's fine."

Lanqi watched the cat boss close the door, then turned to look at Talia and answered.

They might be dreaming together for an hour or two later.

He was afraid that Talia would be hungry.

"I'm not hungry!"

Talia's blood pressure suddenly rose again.

"Then let's take a break?"

Lanci asked Thalia.

"Ah."

Taliyah responded, casting a spell she was now familiar with, resonating with the magic letter in her hand.

Along with the invisible energy, the air in the entire box began to show dreamlike ripples.

Circle after circle of ripples visible to the naked eye quickly spread outward, and even the space seemed to become gradually unstable, as if to send them to another time and space.

Lanqi and Talia seemed to hear a buzzing sound in their ears, and then they fell down one after another and lay on the table.

Sleepiness began to surge in like a tide, irresistible.

I was almost half asleep and half awake, and I didn't know whether it was my will or my body that was working. My eyelids gradually closed and my vision dimmed.
