Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 8 Thalia finds it difficult for humans to understand

In the sky of the border city-state, a few stars still shone faintly, as if they were poems that were about to disappear in the night sky.

Until the dawn of the morning came quietly, a faint blush appeared in the sky, covering the Lanci family's mansion with a layer of hazy color.

At this quiet moment, Lan Qi's bedroom is particularly peaceful, the light shines in through the light screens, as if strands of pure elves are dancing.

However, Lan Qi has woken up.

He moved his body, pushed the quilt aside, hung his feet down, and placed them gently on the carpet, feeling the soft touch under his feet.

"Why did you dream that I was in the underworld, the King of Hades had a long vacation, and the book of life and death was signed by me..."

He rubbed his eyes, recalled the dream, and muttered to himself,
"By the way, the borrowed code can be returned."

After stretching vigorously, a sense of relaxation spread throughout his body. Lan Qi straightened his back and stood up from the side of the bed.

After washing up, he didn't go downstairs to eat today's breakfast immediately.

Instead, he opened the curtain beside the desk, bathed in the warmth of the morning and the just right sunrise.

The breeze caressed the leaves outside the window, and the birds were singing on the treetops not far away.

A string of crisp notes floated into Lan Qi's bedroom along the window sill, permeating the entire cozy morning light.

It has been two weeks since I borrowed the code on the table from the frontier library.

These days, the books on his desk are piled up more and more.

In addition to the code, he also asked the trustee to buy him a few basic books that were directly sold by the card maker association in this city-state.

The learning and use of magic in this world is difficult to understand, just like mathematics in the doctoral field, if you can't learn it, you can't learn it.

Lan Qi is probably convinced that he doesn't have the talent to become a "traditional mage who can make good use of magic only by himself".

But this world is good - everyone can use magic through "magic cards".

However, the magic cards that can be bound to the soul have carrying restrictions.

So they will not affect the particularity of the combat class, but will only make the strong stronger.

Ordinary people can also use various convenient small life magic through magic cards.

It is precisely because of this that a magic craftsman who can make magic cards is a very popular profession!
Compared with making other types of magic props, card making requires not only a thorough understanding of the principles of magic engineering, but also extremely high creativity and brain power, as well as extremely high drawing skills.

Luckily for Lan Qi, the knowledge related to magic engineering, such as the production of magic props and the principles of magic equipment, is surprisingly simple for him to read, and he can quickly understand it even at a glance.

"Of course, it's also possible that the level of textbook editors is relatively high."

Lan Qi looked at the stack of reference books on the desk and sighed.

Coincidentally, these textbooks are all from the same author:
"Kingdom of Hutton's Basics of Magical Engineering Seventh Edition - by Borao"

"Common Misunderstandings in Making First-Order Magic Cards - by Borao"

"Card Creator's Code of Ethics and Ethics - by Borao"

I heard people from the Card Creators Association say that this Professor Borao is the instructor of the Ikrit Academy School of Magic.

It's a pity that Professor Polao doesn't take students with him.

Otherwise, Lan Qi would like to work hard for a hundred days and apply for the Magic Academy.

However, he still prefers the free and relaxed curriculum structure of the Academy of Sages and Academy of Knights compared to the Magic Academy, which has complicated and heavy studies and professional tutors: there are few compulsory courses and many elective courses, and he only needs to complete all the required courses and take them enough credits to graduate.

As for those Magic Academy courses that are suitable for you, you can just add them to your curriculum as elective subjects at that time.

This is the conclusion that Lan Qi came to after carefully studying the information of Icarite Academy.

"Okay, after studying the theory, it's time to experiment with the production of magic cards."

Lan Qi felt that the so-called "mana" that was consumed by painting Talia's portrait a few days ago should have almost recovered now.

Today, you can go to the Card Maker Association to rent a card making workshop and try to practice.

as well as.

Since it will take two and a half months to leave the city-state and go to the capital.

Thalia's affairs also had to be arranged.

Although she is a demon, she needs each other.

Perhaps, the two of them can become good trading partners in the future.

Lankey looked out the window.

Soon, the line of sight found a gray figure outside his courtyard.

At the corner of the street where the sun has not yet reached, a young girl stands dignifiedly like a vivid artwork statue, her figure is like exquisite porcelain, delicate and soft.

In the breeze, the dark gray cloak covering Talia's body fluttered gently, adding a bit of mystery.

In this quiet moment, she seems to be integrated into a picture scroll with the surrounding environment, and it seems that her existence is the only one in this picture.

Lan Qi rested his chin and looked at this demon princess who was perfectly disguised as a human from a distance.

"It's a pity that he is too old, at least a few hundred years old."

he exclaimed.

Although Talia is also a young demon in the Demon Race.

But according to the concept of human age, it seems right to call her an old woman.

of course.

Lan Qi didn't know what the consequences would be if he really called Talia an old woman.

……

far away.

As if sensing Lan Qi's gaze, Talia's eyes also glanced towards the second floor of the mansion.

"Good morning."

After meeting his gaze, Lan Qi smiled and waved lightly to Talia who was far away.

Thalia ignored him.

Her gray hair slid over her shoulders like silk, and quietly fell on the cloak, her eyes looked forward indifferently.

She just wanted to confirm any movements that might pose a threat to the occupants of this mansion.

Since it was Lan Qi himself, not other people who would threaten Lan Qi, she had no intention of paying attention to it.

Like she only cares about doing her job - protecting her employer.

Regardless of the employer itself.

but……

For some reason, she always felt that the inner activities of the boy just now were extremely active.

And he seemed to be thinking about some pretty damn things.

But Talia couldn't tell where her intuition came from, and what was going on in the boy's mind.

Obviously no matter how you look at it.

He was just saying hello in a friendly way.

Maybe it's an illusion.

After all, ever since the kingdom of the demons was destroyed... I began to hate humans.

Even for a docile and harmless human being like Lan Qi, she would occasionally have illusions about him, suspecting that he might be a perfectly disguised guy with an extremely bad personality.

But my own lie-detecting spells, as well as my own personal observations, all proved that this human being has absolutely fine character.

"Ugh."

Talia sighed softly.

I thought that I had been wandering in the human country for so many years, and I already had a little understanding of human beings.

But now it seems that he wants to endure humiliation and perfectly integrate into human society in order to seek an opportunity to restore the country.

Still need a lot of work.
