Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 713 Lan Qi is undoubtedly an expert

"Is this lady from St. Clare's College?"

Nicholas looked at Naila briefly and asked Lan Qi thoughtfully.

At this moment, Nicholas the Kestrel, who is wearing the imperial officer's robes, the principal secretary of the St. Creation Monastery, and Lanci, the incoming professor, are all standing on the edge of the Duke of Osseta Square outside Brilda First Station. .

Nicholas was originally supposed to send Professor Landry to St. Creation's Monastery.

The two of them could continue chatting for a while on the way, but now someone from St. Creation's Monastery appeared.

"Yes, this time I was entrusted by the principal to come to meet Professor Landry of our school. If you have nothing else to do, I will take Professor Landry away without delaying your official duties."

Naila, who had never looked at Nikolai from beginning to end and was only talking to Lan Qi, turned her head and replied respectfully to the imperial officer.

Lan Qi, who was originally going to deal with Nikolai politely, stopped talking. He didn't expect Naila's attitude to be so tough.

Obviously she has figured out that the professor at their school has been targeted by the spy leader, and it is definitely not a good thing to continue to entangle the spy leader.

"Wait a minute, Professor Landry and I have something to discuss. No matter who hands him over, I need to ensure his safety."

Nicholas raised his hand to stop him. After looking at Naila just now, he seemed to be convinced that Naila was indeed from St. Creation Monastery.

"Or is it that your school does not approve of my friendship with Professor Landry?"

He asked, staring at Naira.

"It is best to teach nature not to have too much to do with spies, just as it is best not to let white doves get too involved with hounds."

Naila maintained the elegant posture of a secretary, placing her hands lightly on her abdomen, but her words no longer concealed her attitude.

"Miss Naila, you have to understand that this is the time of war in the Crean Empire. As the head of the Domestic Countermeasures Section, I have the right to investigate or protect any Imperial person. I am the one who escorts Professor Landry to St. Crean's Monastery. You have a hand in the next work, and now you are making fun of me? "

Nicholas's tone remained calm, but his words had become a little more serious.

"You're taking the right seat, right?"

Secretary Naila looked at Nikolay the Kestrel with a dead smile.

It seems that this spy leader is a bit ignorant.

"..."

Just when they were about to say their ugly words at any time, Lan Qi looked at the two of them with a worried expression.

He was worried that the two of them would get into trouble because of him.

Talia felt that whatever Lan Qi said at this time was wrong, so it was best not to say anything and let the two of them fight for a result.

Anyway, someone must come to take Lan Qi to St. Creation's monastery.

Principal Secretary Naila obviously didn't like the people in the Empire's Special Operations Division, and had no intention of giving much face to the secret service chief from the beginning.

No matter who you speak for, you will offend the other party.

And if he wants to stay in the empire, Lan Qi cannot offend either side.

"Well, how about the three of us go to school together."

Lan Qi suddenly spoke.

His friendly eyes seemed not to notice the hostility between the two parties at all, and he felt that everyone could have a good time as a family.

Both looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was joking.

"If this is the case, Miss Naila's duty of taking me back to school has been completed, Mr. Nicholas's job of sending me off while continuing to question me has been completed, and the two of you can still work together to ensure my safety. Isn't this satisfactory? Everyone’s appeal?”

Lan Qi nodded matter-of-factly and replied with a smile.

"..."

Secretary Naira and Nicholas the Kestrel stopped talking.

Even Thalia fell silent.

Three people riding in a car and sitting in jail all the way, you still think the conflict between the two people is not big enough, right? What a torture for a man and a woman.

"Both of you have taken great care of me. I like and appreciate your help very much. If possible, I would like to continue chatting with you."

Lanci continued to add, and the steps he took seemed to be inviting the two of them to walk towards the vehicle parked in the distance at St. Creation's Monastery.

His calm and generous look rarely made Nicholas hesitate.

Naila stared at Lanqi, seeming to analyze the professor's mental state.

"Let's forget it for today. Since St. Creation's Monastery has sent someone to pick up Professor Landry, I will leave Professor Landry to you. I also have to investigate the affairs of the Allied Forces. ”

Nicholas the Kestrel looked at Lan Qi's sincere and firm eyes, frowned, and had to give in temporarily.

But he seemed a little unwilling to let Lan Qi leave like this.

He then thought about it. People from St. Creation's Monastery were present. Asking Professor Landry a question at this time would be an excellent occasion to verify one of his conjectures.

"Before I leave, I have something curious. Can I ask Professor Landry?"

Nicholas the Kestrel asked Lanci politely.

Secretary Naila said nothing, just waiting aside like a statue.

It means she doesn't care.

"Chief Nikolay, just ask, I will answer everything you know."

Lan Qi nodded easily.

"Professor Landry, as an expert in magic engineering, seems to know the magic engineering of the demon clan very well. I think that among your specialties, demon magic literature and the magic engineering of the demon clan are your plus points. Can you teach me? What does the demonic text carved on the dome of Brilda Station just now mean?"

Nicholas the Kestrel asked him with interest.

"..."

Lan Qi looked back at Brilda First Station and fell into silence for a short time.

"Professor Landry, what do you think?"

Nicholas the kestrel narrowed his eyes and looked at Lanqi.

He distinctly remembered Professor Landry, who had glanced up at the dome while walking with him at the station.

If he was a real expert, he would probably be able to recognize the meaning at a glance.

Secretary Naila, who was waiting aside, glanced at Nicholas and Lanci.

She probably understood Nicholas the Kestrel's suspicion.

The agent seemed to suspect that the Professor Landry in front of him was not the real person, but that there was a possibility of being switched during the accident.

Although this possibility is close to zero, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed not zero. It can only be said that Nicholas the Kestrel, as a spy chief, is not only suspicious but also thoughtful.

The short hesitation of the young man with black hair and blue eyes seemed to make Nicholas more suspicious again, and his eyes gradually locked on the young professor's face.

After all, if this guy is an impostor, he will definitely not be able to understand the demonic text that is supposed to be his specialty. "Chief Nikolay is so complimentary. I do know a little knowledge about demons, but I can't be called an expert. If I really want to understand the origins of the demons' infinite material magic literature, it can't be done without hundreds of years of accumulation. Arrived.”

Lan Qi replied calmly,
"The words on the dome actually have no actual meaning. They are 'meaningless words' unique to demonic writing. Due to the difference in grammar between demonic writing and human language, many words in demonic writing are only used to adjust syllables, thus avoiding ordinary communication. Trigger spell."

"So that's it."

Nicholas the Kestrel tapped his chin slightly, looking educated.

Of course he knew the answer before he asked the question.

It just seems that the young man with black hair and blue eyes in front of him really understands the demonic language.

Of course, this cannot be used to conclude that he is an expert. It can only be basically confirmed that the possibility of Landry being dropped is much smaller. After all, with such an unfamiliar and hesitant response, as long as he is a student who has studied demonic magic literature at St. Creation Monastery, You can answer it.

"But does Mr. Nicholas know an allusion to the demon clan?"

Lan Qi seemed to have not finished speaking, and said again.

"Oh?"

Kestrel Nicholas raised his eyes and looked at Lan Qi.

"The words written on the wall have nothing to do with the words themselves. Their behavior has a metaphor."

Lan Qi explained, his eyes filled with meaning, as if he was also explaining why he hesitated just now.

"Please tell me."

Nicholas asked for advice.

He really hadn't heard this statement.

"This is actually a story from Chapter 15 of the Book of Daniel in "The Grimoire: Old Chapters". During the Age of Gods, there was a human king Beshir who held a big banquet. Because there were not enough tableware, he used gold and silver vessels in the Holy City to drink wine. , a human hand suddenly appeared writing on the wall."

Lan Qi began his explanation.

"and then?"

Nicholas didn't understand how this story was related to the demonic writing on the dome of Brilda Station 1. He stared at Professor Landry's profile thoughtfully, as if he wanted to get some clues from it.

But he can find out whether the story is true or false.

After all, the "Magic Book" is similar to the "Genesis Book". They are both indestructible inheritance and a treasure of the demon clan that transcends generations. There are translations in various countries.

"However, the scholars, sorcerers, and diviners in the country could not read the text, nor could they explain its meaning to the king. So Daniel, who was a half-demon, was summoned to explain it to the king. Daniel said , this text was written by God, and the content is "Mini, Mini, Tikler, Ufaxin". It cannot be deciphered by human grammar. Its meaning can only be understood, which is "God's act of desecrating holy things against you." Be dissatisfied, the days of your kingdom have come to an end, and you will be weighed in the balances and your debt will be found.’ That night, King Beshir was killed, and this was the beginning of the kingdom’s destruction.”

Ranchi finished the story for Nicholas the Kestrel.

"..."

After listening to Lan Qi's words, Kestrel Nicholas frowned.

He understood why Professor Landry had not answered immediately before.

The problems encountered during the construction of Brilda's first station were the demonic holy war a hundred years ago, so the design plan of the half-demon empire craftsman met with great opposition and resistance, but fortunately it was built in the end. came out and did not let such an excellent plan fail.

There are some aspects that are vaguely consistent with the allusion mentioned by Professor Landry.

There are many metaphors in that story of the Age of Gods, and the most obvious one is that if a proud ruler acts arbitrarily, he will surely be destroyed.

But such words must not be said randomly in the Creation Empire.

It may be the dissatisfaction of the imperial craftsman hundreds of years ago with the Creja Empire or the rulers at that time.

Perhaps it was only today that someone with a unique understanding saw the metaphor of the craftsman.

"Of course, it may be that I am overthinking it. After all, only a small number of ancient demons would regard the writing on the wall as an ominous omen or a sign of impending disaster."

Lan Qi called to Nicholas the kestrel who was frowning and stunned.

The fact that they would launch a holy war shows that the demons have long forgotten the warning of this fable.

Of course, this statement was told to him by the associate professor of the History Department of Protos Royal Academy of Magic when he was in the Northern Continent. In the Northern Continent, which has experienced more holy wars, scholars will study the Grimoire more.

"Forget it, then I won't waste Professor Landry's time any more. Let's talk another day."

Nicholas the Kestrel quickly came to his senses, gently held the brim of his hat, and said goodbye to Lan Qi.

Secretary Naila also looked at the professor with a strange look.

It's not unreasonable that the principal would take a fancy to him.

"no problem."

Lanci replied to Nicholas.

In a short time, Secretary Naila had moved the silver magic vehicle to the road and was waiting for Professor Landry to get on.

Lan Qi glanced to the side. The carriage covered with leather seats was very luxurious, and in terms of performance, it should far exceed the magic energy-driven vehicles of the Hutton Kingdom.

Nicholas put one hand on his back and opened the car door for Lan Qi with the other hand, and watched him get into the car.

Until Secretary Naira quietly started the engine.

With a slight buzzing, the vehicle drove away from the magnificent first station of Brilda and headed towards the far south side of the Monastery of St. Creation.

On the back seat.

The warm yellow afternoon light shines through the car window on Lan Qi's slightly tired face, adding a bit of laziness to Landry's handsome face.

"You kid, deliberately let Nicholas have a little doubt about you, and then dispel it. If you do this a few times, he won't be able to doubt you anymore, right?"

Thalia's voice whispered in his ear.

"How can you think so complicatedly? I really didn't know how to explain it at the time. After all, these words were not very auspicious. I just came to the capital Brilda, so I should be happy."

Lan Qi chuckled and responded in his heart.

After that, he looked out the car window at the Empire State Building passing by.

Everything seemed new to him. This most developed city in the southern continent had countless landmarks waiting for him to explore.

Taking things as they come is the best mentality, no matter what he does in the Creja Empire.

"Professor Landry, if you are targeted by the man named Kestrel, you may be in trouble in the capital. Like a falcon, he will always keep an eye on his prey, so I just wanted you to be less involved with him. touch."

At this moment, in the front driver's seat, Secretary Naila's light blue eyes outside the mechanical eye mask were looking straight at the road ahead and said to Lan Qi.

"It's okay, I won't do anything wrong, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

Lanci replied, giving a grateful smile to Secretary Naira in the front row. He believed that the secretary could see him through the rearview mirror.

Seeing that Professor Landry was so confident, Secretary Naira stopped talking.

Principal Violet told her to keep an eye on Professor Landry. After all, St. Clare's Monastery is also at the forefront of the crisis. Anyone who wants to come in or out may not be easy, and the principal will be suspicious. .

Now it seems that at least Professor Landry's ability is genuine and he can report the complete conversation between him and Nicholas, the special agent section chief, to the principal.
