Don't confiscate my citizenship

 Chapter 708 Lan Qi’s Chosen Imperial People

The autumn afternoon sun and golden leaves flew past the window. The slightly opened car window filled the air in the compartment with a light wood fragrance, like the smell of pine and cypress.

“I believe that the Crean Empire is in the midst of unprecedented changes, and many aspects have undergone earth-shaking changes since the rise of the National Renewalists.”

Lan Qi, who looked like an old man, knocked on the table in a serious and deep tone.

"First of all, in the cultural field, the royal family vigorously promoted nationalism and heroism, reawakening the pride of the Creation nation, and writers and thinkers such as Julius Wolfe and Felix Roth received unprecedented esteem. , their ideas have become an important part of the national ideology. At the same time, "degenerate" art schools such as modernism and expressionism have been purged and suppressed, which is actually a bad phenomenon. "

"In terms of social life, St. Baldo Hoffmann-Temple the Great implemented a series of policies aimed at shaping the image of the Creation people. For example, he advocated a strong body and a tall figure, and advocated that women should return to traditional roles and give birth. More children. Some commoners such as the Estes and Roma whose ancestors migrated from many northern kingdoms are increasingly being excluded in the central city-state, which has once again divided the contradiction between the nobles and the common people."

"At present, we are vigorously developing the military industry and improving the employment situation, so that the Creation Empire has strengthened in the southern continent. Although we are in a turbulent era, under the banner of the empire's revival, the internal problems of the Creation nation have gradually spread outward. Spread, it should indeed show a vigorous attitude in the short term, but do you think this is really good..."

The magic rail train is still speeding on the horizon.

Lan Qi, who was dressed as an old publisher, chatted with the young man in the same cubicle about imperial culture, fashion, the situation in recent years, and trade.

 He sat back on the soft chair cushions, sometimes chatting, sometimes looking at the vast mountains outside the window to confirm roughly where they were.

They tower into the clouds and are majestic, making people feel insignificant.

This kind of magnificent scenery can always soothe people's hearts and gradually calm down their anxiety and irritability.

 At present, they will reach Brilda, the capital of Creation, in less than an hour.

"That's right, Mr. Lovia, the hidden dangers of the empire actually exist. The disadvantages of this war are just selectively ignored by many people. I think we should not only study in this direction, but also study it seriously. ”

Landry, a young man with black hair and blue eyes, agreed.

 The two of them chatted all the way.

While chatting, Ranchi also discovered that although Landry, a talented and talented Imperial man, held an opposition to the war, he could not hide his far-right thoughts.

He believes that internal troubles should be eliminated through non-war means, vigorously develop the imperial magic engineering, defeat the countries of the Southern Continent Alliance in the trade war, win over and gradually disintegrate the alliance, and let the Creation Empire be the leader, and also It is to restore hegemony through peaceful means.

However, if you think about it carefully, a young teacher who is directly employed by St. Creation's Monastery will not be comparable to ordinary people in terms of skills and knowledge in the professional field. On the contrary, he has shown that he is different from his age. of profound knowledge.

Just when Lan Qi was about to continue talking about the empire's development strategy, a familiar female voice sounded in Lan Qi's heart.

“Lan Qi, don’t be too selfless in your acting. I know you are a top-notch chuanzi, but sometimes you are so pure that people can’t tell whether you are a chuanzi or a real member of the Iron-Blooded Empire.”

Thalia knew that Lanqi was good at quickly integrating into the environment.

 Correspondingly, after he came to the Empire, he really looked too much like an Imperial person.

 It was as if he had regarded himself as an Imperial person, and even thought from the perspective of an Imperial person.

  She had some doubts that this guy was like this in the Protos Empire.

“Don’t worry, when it comes time to return in glory, you will be able to tell my identity at a glance. I am obviously a member of the Kingdom with good roots.”

Lan Qi promised in his heart.

This is just a matter of doing as the Romans do.

"That's good."

Thalia was afraid that she would become a spy if she followed Lanqi in the Creja Empire.

 She is now an old Icerite, and her position is quite firm.

I hope to retire in the Kingdom of Hutton in this life.

Just when Lan Qi's thoughts were about to drift away, he clearly felt that the speed of the car was slowing down.

 Gradually stopped.

Lan Qi and the young man looked up at each other in unison, with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

“Will the magic rail train still stop?”

Lan Qi asked puzzledly.

 This is the first time he has encountered this situation.

 “This is rarely the case.”

Landry, a young man with black hair and blue eyes, also agreed.

 They felt that the passengers in other compartments were also noisy, and seemed confused about what was going on.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound and the sound of a microphone being raised.

 The magnetic male voice came from the train announcement, attracting their attention.

"Dear passengers, I'm sorry to disturb you. We have received news that there are extremely dangerous elements on this train. Our police officers are currently investigating the suspicious persons. Please stay calm, don't panic, and don't move around at will. We We have requested help from the Brilda City State, and Imperial Army reinforcements are arriving quickly. Thank you for your cooperation."

 The sound of the radio is slightly distorted, but still appears calm to ensure the safety of passengers.

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally calm train suddenly became commotion.

Not long after, footsteps and whispers could be heard faintly in the corridor. The passengers were obviously frightened by the sudden news.

Talia's voice suddenly sounded in Lan Qi's heart again.

"Lanqi, if you don't run away, your identity may have been exposed. It will be very dangerous to go to Brilda."

Thalia didn't know what was going on, but she was ready to help Lanqi fight at any time.

The information in the broadcast just now probably refers to Lan Qi, the traitor.

At this distance, it is possible to escape, at least the military **** will not go out so easily, leaving the capital Brilda and coming to the remote mountains to capture prisoners.

“Extremely dangerous elements, that obviously does not refer to me. I am neither extreme nor dangerous at all.”

 Lan Qi argued hard and was very confident.

　　　…”

Thalia didn’t know how to continue talking to Lanci.

 She felt that Lao Sang would not object to Lan Qi's words.

However, she actually felt that Lan Qi's actions along the way were very rigorous and there was no reason for him to be exposed.

The only one on Lanci's line is Nigel, and he hasn't even had contact with other Poisson spies since he came to the empire.

“I just have to continue playing the role of an Imperial and do what I have to do.”

Lanchi reassured Thalia and comforted her.

Until the dust settles, always maintain your identity and acting skills. If it is a psychological warfare, you must bet to the end and never mess up your position first. This is Lan Qi's principle.

 Once you take the initiative to expose your flaws, you are truly exposed.

"I'll listen to you."

Thalia responded.

Lanqi’s consciousness also returned to reality from his mind.

 He saw the young man with black hair and blue eyes sitting opposite frown his brows, and there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Landry subconsciously leaned his hand inside his coat, as if he was ready to deal with possible dangers.

“Are there many extremely dangerous elements around the capital Brilda?”

Lan Qi asked in a low voice.

 He felt that the young man opposite seemed to have a deeper understanding of Brilda's internal situation, and might even have some clues.

“The war has just begun externally, and the entire empire is indeed on the cusp of the storm. The empire is very strict in screening and will never tolerate internal problems.”

Landry shook his head, his tone cautious.

 Lan Qi nodded in agreement.

The contradiction between the nobility and the people within the empire has been around for a long time. Although the two sides maintain a delicate balance on the surface, they have never stopped competing secretly. They even triggered large-scale civil strife many years ago, leaving many historical problems.

If the Creation Empire goes to war, it will be a good time for internal rebels to take advantage of it.

 I just didn’t expect that their tentacles had actually extended to civilian trains.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the cubicle.

The sounds of orders, warnings, and fighting were all in a chaotic mess, and seemed to be mixed with the roar of explosions, getting closer and closer to Car No. 4.

Immediately afterwards, a shrill scream suddenly pierced the sky, as if someone had suffered inhuman abuse, but it quickly disappeared and seemed to have died.

 Lan Qi and the young man with black hair and blue eyes looked at each other again, with shock and uneasiness written in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Lovia, it is necessary for me to go out and see the situation. At this moment, we cannot let those inner cancers who want to harm the empire do evil."

The young man with black hair and blue eyes gritted his teeth and spoke resolutely.

It seems that these people who provoke civil unrest have been deeply resented for a long time.

“I’m going out to check the situation. Stay here and stay safe.”

 After saying that, he used the magic card to transform into a gun-like staff and strode out of the box.

 “Be careful, Mr. Landry!”

Lan Qi watched him leave the cubicle, feeling a little worried in his heart.

With the sixth-level strength of the young teacher with black hair and blue eyes, he should be able to withstand most storms.

  Lanci would never take action if it was not a last resort, because the old Mr. Lovia he is playing is not of a high rank and has no fighting ability.

as expected.

Not long after the young man with black hair and blue eyes left, the whole train trembled violently, and the train that had stopped seemed to have hit something.

At the same time, there was a deafening explosion, and part of the carriage was instantly engulfed in flames!

The violent vibration almost knocked Lan Qi to the ground, his ears buzzed, and his vision was obscured by the dazzling firelight and billowing smoke.

 At least a six-level battle has occurred.

 “Meow meow meow! Lan Qi is the vehicle killer!”

 The cat boss hid in the shadows and shivered.

 It has had enough!

Hand Lan Qi were on a boat and encountered a shipwreck.

Hand Lan Qi were in an airship and encountered an air crash.

Take the rail train with Lan Qi, or will you encounter an accident?

 Lan Qi really has a grudge against Zhi Zhi, right?

 Etc., it seems to be present in every accident.

 Could it also be a vehicle killer?

Meow.

 The cat boss fell into thinking.

 Thick smoke billowed outside cubicle No. 404, pouring into the cubicle along the crack in the door.

Lan Qi crawled to the door and opened the box door with force, but was forced back by the heat wave.

 Relying on Boss Cat's telekinesis magic, he quickly opened the compartment.

　It wasn't until the smoke and dust cleared that he could clearly see the tragic situation inside the carriage.

The once elegant and tidy corridor was now in a mess, with broken furniture swaying here and there, scorched marks and winding cracks everywhere, and a pungent burnt smell filled the air, making him choke and cover his mouth.

Some of the bright overhead lights have been shattered, while others are flickering on and off. From time to time, a few sparks burst out, illuminating the entire carriage and making it look like a ghost. There are several corpses of guards lying on the ground.

Nearly all of the Imperial guards in the car were killed with one blow, and bright red blood flowed from their wounds, forming a horrific pool of blood on the ground.

However.

What surprised Lan Qi the most was that next to the pile of corpses, there was a figure in a navy blue coat that looked particularly familiar to Lan Qi.

His head has been chopped off, and more than a dozen translucent magic cards shining with purple-pink brilliance emerged from his body.

The huge noise in the fight with the enemy just now was obviously caused by Landry's spell.

 But he was already dead so soon?

How strong are the enemies?

 Lan Qi had already figured out the answer before he even thought about it.

 At the other end of Car No. 4, a figure appeared in the smoke.

  A woman, to be precise, standing over Landry's body.

She is tall and tall, and her black clothes outline her beautiful curves. Her long black hair flows down like a waterfall, making the white porcelain mask even more sinister and terrifying.

 The masked woman's eyes were cold, her expression invisible, and the short blade in her hand was dripping with dark red blood.

 The female killer looked at Lan Qi who ran out.

  In other words, it was the cubicle No. 404 where he was.

 “Boss Cat, use black gas.”

 Lanchi immediately directed Boss Cat.

Ever since he tied the original slate seal, the little sun that was originally used to block sight would be forced to have the obsidian effect of the brilliance of the gods due to the seal attribute, so he added some cheap low-level replacement cards to the cat boss.

 The entire carriage was suddenly covered in thick smoke, blocking the view.

 If he had to take action as a last resort, he could not let other passengers in the carriage see him take action.

 The sudden appearance of a female killer on this train makes her identity and motives a mystery.

Lanqi is currently unable to deduce the reason.

  After all, there are a lot of inherent contradictions and conflicts in the Creation Empire. Due to the turmoil many years ago, some civilians and nobles hate each other quite a lot, thus creating some extreme factions.

But now the only thing Lan Qi can be sure of is that the so-called dangerous person should refer to this female killer. And his disguise is always perfect.

No matter which camp he is in, he cannot do anything to innocent people. There are old people and children in the car. They are unarmed civilians.

 The best strategy at the moment is to continue to play the role of a good Imperial, resolve this turmoil, and then go to the capital Brilda safely.

“Teacher Landry should be a sixth-level legal profession. Although he is biased toward research personnel, the fact that he was killed so quickly by this female killer shows that she is quite strong and is a well-trained veteran.”

Thalia said in Lanqi's mind.

 “Very good, that’s not a big difference. Landry theoretically has a chance of winning.”

Ranchi has decided on a strategy.

He wanted to fake the scene where Landry and the female killer died together - although she succeeded in killing the young teacher Landry, she also died of exhaustion due to the serious injuries Landry left on her.

At that time, Lanqi can hide his merit and fame and continue to sneak into Brilda, the imperial capital of the Kraiju Empire.

In her thoughts, she saw that the female assassin had raised the short knife in her hand, and a cold killing intent hit her face. She obviously had no intention of letting go of the old man from the Empire who was in the same compartment as Landry.

 There are no words.

 The female killer took the lead in launching the offensive.

The short sword drew a sharp cold light in the air, and in an instant it struck Lan Qi's face.

Lan Qi, who was possessed by Thalia, managed to dodge sideways and perfectly avoided the fatal blow from the female killer.

 “Lan Qi, be careful.”

Thalia reminded.

This female killer is probably close to the seventh level. No wonder Landry lost his head so quickly.

　　When she was fighting black boxing in the Holy Silver Vine Arena before, she had never seen such a strong sixth-level opponent except for Inoan.

 Or it may be said that one must have this kind of professional assassin who would have the courage to commit murder on the way to Brilda, the capital of Creja, to ensure nothing goes wrong.

 The female killer also seemed quite surprised.

This old man, who didn't look like a warrior at all, was actually able to avoid her attack.

Lan Qi had no time to sigh, because the pursuit of the female killer had already begun.

Her next knife has already dragged a fierce cold light, coming straight towards Lan Qi's vitals.

Seeing that fighting hard was not an option, Lan Qi jumped back and distanced herself. A small wind whirlpool formed in front of her. It roared towards the female killer, stirring up dust and debris on the ground along the way, and briefly knocked her back.

 The cat boss's wind magic is obviously not enough to move past two levels to shake this fierce opponent.

 But this is just to confuse the other party.

The next second, dozens of spiritual magic powers came one after another, turning into an airtight net and catching the female killer.

 The female killer seemed to feel this strange magic power and had to face it head on.

This time she obviously misjudged the old man's strength.

She began to lose control of her body, as if all the nerves in her limbs were locked, she let out a painful roar, and continued to struggle with strength.

 The whole carriage was shaking violently, as if it would be torn apart by her huge force at any time.

Countless wreckage and debris were flying in the air, but she eventually calmed down, and when the smoke cleared, everything fell into an eerie silence.

 The female killer was lying in the ruins.

This is the smallest magic that Thalia can use.

If you use seven or eight levels of magic to fight, let alone whether other passengers can survive, I am afraid it will be completely impossible to explain who did it afterwards.

 The female assassin lying on the ground struggled stubbornly for a while, and was finally convinced that the old man was at least level 7 and she was no match for him, so she gave up her struggle.

 Lanchi approached her.

 Before the smoke dissipated, he still had to investigate the cause and effect from the female killer's side.

Landry can't die in such an unclear way.

He was very sorry for Landry's death, but he had no choice. When there was a master like Landry around, he, Landry, couldn't take the initiative, otherwise he would be seen as being naughty and his identity would be exposed.

 In the end, Landry will become a hero who sacrifices his life to protect the passengers. This is the only thing Ranch can do for him.

Lanqi was also curious about the reason for this turmoil.

 But before he could ask the question, the female killer had already spoken to him.

 “Who the **** are you...”

 The female killer asked reluctantly.

 She couldn't figure out who this old man was.

 And why there are seventh-order existences.

 “The imperial power is unparalleled and the empire has faith.”

Lanchi imitated Landry's voice and said coldly,

　　"Those who invade our Creation Empire will be punished no matter how far away they are."

Perhaps there are other passengers in the compartment who are listening tremblingly at the moment.

 But he just wanted these passengers to hear it so that they could serve as witnesses.

 Proof that this is a battle between the female killer and Landry.

 “So you are…”

 The female killer seems to have understood.

The Magical Agents of the Creation Empire are also the most difficult eagle dogs in the Creation Empire. A man with such ability is probably among the top three in the Magical Agents.

　　　…”

Thalia couldn't help but admire Lanci's self-cultivation as an actor.

 Can you really get the words right?

 Sometimes he can really fool himself, and then confuse everyone, and others will never guess that he is actually a Kingdom man.

　　 Lan Qi slowly squatted down in front of the female killer and activated the soundproof barrier.

"Ah."

The female killer just smiled and seemed to tell the other person with her eyes that no matter how she was captured and interrogated, she would not reveal a word.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I won’t interrogate you.”

 Lanqi said softly like a kindergarten teacher coaxing a child to take a nap.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

 The female killer’s eyes were frozen under her white porcelain mask.

 “Show me your memory.”

Lanchi spoke softly, and at the same time mentally asked Thalia to use the smallest range of [Overflowing Tenderness].

"no, do not want!!"

The female killer suddenly seemed to realize something. Her cold eyes, which had not wavered even in the face of torture, were shaken, as if she had encountered something she was truly afraid of.

The other party is a master of spiritual magic, and he can capture her like this, and the other party may also have a deeper spiritual exploration magic. If it falls into the opponent's hands, she can't even think of committing suicide!

 “I’m going to kill you, kill you!!”

She shouted angrily and hoarsely.

The eyes under those white porcelains seemed to want to eat Lan Qi alive.

However, she could not resist the sleepiness that almost made her mind go blank. Tears gradually overflowed from the corners of her eyes and she fell asleep.

"Lan Qi, I always felt that you really looked like a senior officer of the empire just now, and the most dangerous kind."

Thalia couldn't help but said in Lan Qi's heart.

"How is it possible? I have only been in the empire for a few days, and I just happened to maintain law and order due to the situation. I did not intend to help the empire."

Ranchi declared.

 He closed his eyes and gradually became immersed in a brand new world. The space around him seemed to be rippled by unstable ripples.

 Similar to [Falling Tenderness], [Overflowing Tenderness] can also interfere with other people's dreams.

 At this moment, Lan Qi felt as if he was freed from the shackles of the physical body and was in direct dialogue with the space of his mind.

 When he opened his eyes again, it was a completely different scene from the dilapidated train carriage.

 Under the clear sky, you can see a blue and bright color when you look up.

 The spring sunshine makes people's skin feel warm, and the sound of water by the river is clear and melodious.

 This is a beautiful town.

In this season, wearing casual clothes will make you feel the temperature is moderate and everything is just right.

Lanchi and Talia shared their minds and descended into the dreamland of the female killer together. Their bodies were translucent like spirits, watching from a distance.

The female killer in the dream was standing in a trance on the busy street of a small town. The only sounds that echoed in her ears were the laughter of children chasing and playing in the empty square, and the sound of hand bells clanging.

She had an attractive appearance, and she subconsciously touched her face and arms facing the reflection on the shop glass on the street, but she didn't even have any scars on her body.

 A young girl, whose appearance and hair color are somewhat similar to that of the female killer, seems to be her younger sister, who is healthy and walking with her on the street.

 “Sister Unity…”

The girl held her hand by the corner of her clothes, as if she didn't understand why she stopped, and she seemed lost.

　　　…”

Unity gradually came back to her senses and stared at the healthy girl.

 She immediately cried and hugged the girl.

 The corner of his mouth kept muttering vague words such as "You must be well" and "Sister will never leave you again."

 Then, she was relieved to be led by her sister and played around the town.

There is no cruel battlefield, and her dead comrades will meet her on the street and say hello to her.

 And this landmark…

　　It can be vaguely identified through the text as the Kingdom of Canberra in the western hub area.

Lanchi and Thalia looked at each other in her dream.

 “Why did she dream about the Kingdom of Canberra?”

Thalia asked with a translucent figure.

“Obviously she is from the Kingdom.”

Lan Qi answered naturally.

 The two of them understood instantly.

 This female killer is one of our own!

It turns out that the dangerous elements mentioned in the broadcast are indeed Allied spies.

 Lan Qi was still wondering how he could have been exposed.

There were other Kingdom people besides him on this train!

What the empire wants to catch is this Allied assassin named Unity.

Lanchi and Talia quickly ran out of Unity's dream like two children who felt they were in trouble, returned their consciousness to reality, and began to wake her up with enhancement-type spiritual magic.

 Without the intervention of the spellcaster, Unity woke up quickly.

 She looked at the old man in front of her who had not harmed her with some confusion in her hazy eyes.

 However, she was still held to the ground by mind control.

 “You **** imperial hawk!”

Unity recalled the dream just now and instantly realized the other party's mental interference ability.

Using this kind of dream to peek into her brain has undoubtedly violated her bottom line as a warrior of the kingdom!

 There was such a master hiding on the train, it was her fault.

 She didn’t understand why she was trapped and who betrayed her.

 But the mysterious man in front of her is definitely the culprit who laid the trap to hunt her!

 She couldn't imagine how much information this man would forcibly steal from her if he continued to dig into her consciousness!

 The more she thought about it, the more shame and despair she felt, but in the end it turned into resentment towards the imperial officer in front of her.

　　　…”

Lan Qi looked confused and innocent, pointing at himself, speechless and choked.

There is nothing wrong with his thinking, and he does not intend to help the empire.

 “She didn’t lie, she really thought you were from the Empire.”

Thalia used her lie detection talent to add a sentence to remind Lan Qi.

 Perhaps she did misunderstand Lan Qi at first.

Other spies need great awareness to work hard and perfectly disguise themselves as Imperials, but you, my friend, are the chosen Imperials.
