Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

Chapter 35 Lan Qi came to Icerita College alone

In the early morning in the capital of Hutton, Lan Qi got up early and came to Icerita College alone.

He walked through the station in front of the school and saw the golden light rising from the east, illuminating the entire campus. He couldn't help but feel a refreshing vitality.

 Three days have passed since the entrance exam ended.

Today, Lan Qi will start his campus tour.

 According to Teacher Teresa's instructions, first go to the Magic Academy to exchange the student bracelet, and then you can move into the academy.

 During this period, both Ranch and Talia lived in a hotel not far from the college. Talia lived next door to him. Every day when Ranch went out, Talia would follow him.

Lanchi has already told Thalia that when he can move into the very safe Icerite Academy, Thalia will no longer have to protect him like this.

 The salary remains the same as before.

 She would only bother Lan Qi when she had questions to ask her.

So now Talia is almost as free as a new born.

　　No need to be Lan Qi's bodyguard every day.

There is also a false identity of the Wilford family.

 As long as she is not too arrogant or registers with a large association, she will hardly be spotted.

 In just a few months, Thalia said goodbye to her wandering life, and could even enjoy a leisure life with a generous pension every day in the royal capital of Icerite.

　　When Lanci and Thalia had breakfast together this morning, Thalia was in a daze.

 It’s like being retired.

But Lan Qi was also relieved to see that Talia's life was better.

 Supporting elderly masters and craftsmen is his filial piety.

"Speaking of which...every time I think about her age, she seems to look at me...is it an illusion..."

 Lanqi murmured to himself as he walked on the main street of the campus.

Although the gift of lie detection magic can be further upgraded, it may be transformed into the direction of mind reading.

But Thalia is probably far from reaching the threshold of mind-reading talent magic.

 Because in the setting that Lanqi knows, Talia has not mastered any mind-reading abilities even in the main timeline two years later.

“So, there is nothing to worry about, and age is not a big deal, so she shouldn’t care much about it.”

Lan Qi smiled with relief and continued walking towards the old liberal arts building of the Magic Engineering Institute.

 The plants on both sides are bathed in the morning mist and sunshine, exuding a refreshing fragrance. There are many flowers on the roadside that Lan Qi cannot name, some are bright, elegant or strange in shape.

Accompanied by the singing of birds, the buzzing of bees, and the gurgling sound of water, he gradually walked from the end of the road into a soft grassland full of flowers. According to the road signs, the buildings in this area were all built in gardens. middle.

 After a few minutes of walking.

 Lanci finally found the Icerite Revival-style building located on the edge of the Magic Institute of Technology. The ancient red brick exterior wall is inlaid with statues and reliefs. It is one of the symbols of the campus - the old liberal arts building of the Magic Institute of Technology.

This historic building was once a workshop where magic craftsmen developed their creative ideas. It was maintained and renovated decades ago and began to be used to provide technical services to students from other departments in need of assistance.

 Lan Qi looked around and saw that there were not many students around.

 It seems that the only people who will come here these days are new first-year students.

　　It is very early now, and even the door of the old liberal arts building has not yet been opened.

“Oops, I’m early... I forgot that everyone here goes to work at nine o’clock and gets off work at five o’clock. It doesn’t matter if it’s one minute earlier or one second later.”

Lan Qi said regretfully.

 He remembered that the Buddhist working habits of the Ikerite people were very different from his. Many shops close at five o'clock. You have to get off work even if you don't make any money, let alone the school service department.

So Lan Qi could only stand on the lawn, folding his arms in boredom, waiting for the staff of the Magic Engineering Institute to go to work.

 Just feel the leisure that modern people deserve. Sometimes wasting time can be considered a happy thing.

 “Actually, it’s not a bad idea to just take it as a collection of styles…”

Lanqi raised his head and admired the ancient building like a work of art in front of him. He felt that the fragrance of flowers, grass, soil and moist air in the garden seemed to surround him, making him quite comfortable.

At the top of the old liberal arts building is a towering tower with an engraved emblem of Eclita College inlaid on it.

The bottom of the school badge is a silver shield, which represents the firmness and belief of the Kingdom of Hutton. In the center of the shield is a statue of the goddess of destiny. She holds a laurel wreath and is surrounded by the Holy Cross. The background is the Southern Cross constellation, which symbolizes The geographical location of Icerite Academy in the Southern Continent.

The white banner at the top of the school badge is engraved with a powerful ancient magic text, which means "We will grow in the respect of future generations."

Just by looking at it, Lan Qi felt his heart surge, as if the last trace of sleepiness left after waking up early in the morning had been completely dispelled.

 He was attracted by it unknowingly, but he didn't know how many times the seconds had passed.

“This kind of carving is probably a masterpiece of art by a generation of master carvers...”

Lanqi stood motionless on the grass, staring at the school badge and murmuring.

“Indeed, it was created by the magic craftsman Gera Zelt who graduated from Iclita College two hundred years ago. If you look carefully, you will find many of his works in the college.”

　　A familiar voice sounded from not far behind him, interrupting Lan Qi's thoughts.

Lan Qiru woke up from his dream, turned around, and saw a girl with long light blond hair standing in the garden.

Lan Qi had an impression of her appearance. She was her Highness Princess Vivian, whom she had met once before in the examination room and had a bad relationship with his teammate Hyperion.

Lan Qi did not expect that Her Royal Highness would come so early, but upon closer inspection, Lan Qi discovered that following her arrival, faculty and staff from the Magic Engineering Institute soon rushed to the old liberal arts building to open for business.

 Sure enough, such things as human nature and sophistication can be found everywhere.

"Your Highness Vivian, I'm sorry, I was so absorbed in looking at you that I didn't notice you were here."

Lan Qi showed a slight smile on his face and said hello to the princess who had also arrived here waiting at some unknown time.

　　　…”

Vivian pondered slightly.

 She actually had no intention of talking to Lan Qi at first.

 Because after the last time, she discovered that Lan Qi’s character was a little difficult for her to deal with.

 He is a bit too good-natured and a bit silly, but he also has a very bright mind.

“What do you think is the difference between this carved school emblem and the artifacts?”

Vivian did not say anything first, but looked at the carved school emblem on the top of the old liberal arts building and asked Lan Qi.

After two meetings, Vivian was convinced that this commoner boy named Ranch Wilford did not have the sense of distance and awe that ordinary people should have for aristocrats. He was more like a journey from a country that had never had aristocratic culture. Visitors.

But Vivian doesn’t mind.

 Lanqi is indeed a talent full of potential in their country, and his background is also very clean.

 She just wants to talk to Lan Qi about the ancient masterpiece on the tower.

 Lanci has always had a unique temperament as a poet, painter, and craftsman, which is natural and inimitable.

 It is rare to meet someone of her own age who can discuss art with her.

Vivian took this opportunity to explore his true identity.
