Don't confiscate my citizenship

The independent city-state Great Stone Castle, also known as Little Rock.

The cold northern snowfields became hazy in the pre-dawn light, and the temple in Little Rock was already brightly lit and full of people.

Although it is already eight o'clock in the morning, the sky is still not white.

In this city-state, there are only about six or seven hours of daylight.

"I heard that the ceremony was hosted by Lord Algom himself today."

"There are also priests who will supervise the human craftsmen from the Paulante Empire."

"I haven't seen a great craftsman who dared to take over the repair work in many years. For an artist who has the ability to restore a statue of a god, this reward is nothing at all."

What's more, you have to bear the risk and come from the comfortable city-state in the center of the human empire to the land of eternal night.

At present, most orc residents believe that this is a gesture of goodwill from the royal family of the Paulant Empire. The royal family sent a noble and patriotic craftsman who is willing to risk his own life to establish friendship with the orcs in this current situation. .

Many orcs gathered inside and outside the temple, talking.

Their faces were full of anticipation and piety.

As for whether they can be satisfied later, it still depends on whether the craftsman's own level is as reliable as the Paulante royal family guarantees.

Otherwise, if you play tricks on them, it will only make them extremely angry.

The interior of the rock temple is solemn and neat.

The tall stone pillars are engraved with the totems engraved by the Ursine tribe since ancient times, and the walls reflect the murals and patterns symbolizing the God of Rock and Earth, shining brightly under the lights.

At the edge of the altar in the main hall, layers of barriers were released.

The idol of the god of rock and shelter is revealed.

This statue is carved from ancient black granite that is rich in magic energy. It is about three meters high. Every detail of its maintenance reveals the respect that the Ursine tribe has had for it from generation to generation.

The expression on the face of the statue is firm and calm, and its hands are holding a huge stone hammer, which seems to symbolize strength and commitment.

The orc priests in the temple wore the traditional sacrificial robes of Gretel Castle and began praying early. The atmosphere was both tense and solemn.

The Lord Argom and Priest Elena of Little Rock have been waiting here in advance, as well as many city-state dignitaries who have witnessed the repair ceremony of admiring the statue.

As time passed, Lan Qi, who had changed into a set of loose work clothes, walked into the temple.

Sigre stood at the side of the temple entrance from a distance, looking at him.

The temple is actually safe now. She is only responsible for taking Lan Qi away in case Lan Qi doesn't do anything good later.

Lan Qi's appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the orcs, and there was silence inside the temple.

"We are very grateful to Queen Ceshia for her willingness to allow her royal craftsmen to help us repair the statue."

Lord Argom solemnly held Lan Qi's hand.

"Thank you also for your trust in me."

Lan Qi responded with a smile.

The seventh-level lord in front of him, a tall and powerful bear orc, was two meters tall. He was also the guardian of this orc city-state.

He is the orc lord closest to humans in the Land of Eternal Night.

He has thick white hair and deep black eyes. Although he looks rough and cruel to intruders, he is also full of wisdom as a leader and can manage Little Rock prosperously for a long time.

But Lan Qi only thinks that this bear orc warrior is cute and furry, and all the orcs in this world are quite good-looking.

"Mr. Rocky, I don't know if you know Mr. Sebastian. He is from your Paulante Empire and is now the branch representative of the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce in our Little Rock City."

The High Lord of Argom quickly gave Lanqi a brief introduction to the priests and the city-state dignitaries attending the ceremony, including even humans.

"I'm sorry, except for meeting with Queen Kessia, I concentrate on my work and rarely interact with powerful people I'm not familiar with."

Lanqi responded to the temptation of Lord Algom.

During the few days in Helsalem, he had heard of the organization "Shengshi Chamber of Commerce"——

It is said that in troubled times, we can still provide you with the most considerate service.

"oh?"

Lord Algom looked at Branch Chief Sebas.

Lan Qi followed the gaze of Lord Argom. The leader of the Sebas branch introduced by the Lord was a handsome man in his thirties, with sharp blue eyes and neat short dark brown hair. Grooming.

"It doesn't matter, we know each other now, and soon we will be able to see Mr. Rocky's level."

Division Chief Sebas answered naturally.

Lan Qi could probably tell that before meeting him, Lord Argom and Branch Chief Sebas might have chatted for a while about him, Rocky McCarthy, but out of respect for the Queen of Kesia, he added Lan Qi responded without any loopholes, and they could no longer raise any questions.

After the High Lord Argom completed the basic procedures, he faced the people inside and outside the main hall of the temple.

"I want to introduce you to a great artist. He is the palace craftsman favored by the Queen in the Paulant Empire. He also has the current Prime Minister of the Paulant Empire who vouched for his skills, Mr. Rocky McCarthy!"

He introduced Ranchi to the orcs.

A burst of cheers followed.

At the corner of the temple, Sigre became slightly worried.

This group of orcs had never heard of the Paulante Empire, so they would not question the royal craftsman Master Rocky McCarthy too much. This was normal.

The problem is that as a member of the Paulante Empire, she has never heard of this craftsman's name.

In her opinion, Ranchi is not enough to complete the repair work of [The Rock and the Statue of Shelter].

【Rock and the Statue of Shelter】

[Type: Artwork]

[Grade: Sacred (Damage)]

[Rank: 1]

[Those who admire this statue will recover a small amount of mental and physical strength, and their faith in the God of Rock and Sanctuary will increase slightly. Due to years of natural wear and tear, its effect has been halved. 】

As a fifth-level person, she could temporarily use appraisal magic to discern the attributes of the ancient relic statue.

If a work of art treasure of this level is damaged in the slightest, it will be discovered by the orc priests present, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Add a little more oil..."

Sigre said to herself,

"If you can't finish the job and just go home, I won't make much money."

According to the contract, Lan Qi had to complete as much repair work as possible. Only by successfully sending Lan Qi to the Demon Realm along the way according to the schedule could she get the full maximum escort fee.

If her employer failed like this, she would be in a bad mood.

But the problem is, according to Sigre's understanding, in the entire Polante Empire today, it would be good to find one or two great craftsmen who are capable of repairing sacred works of art.

And even if your skill level is sufficient, if you don't perform well, you may make mistakes.

One can only hope that her employer really has a lot of skills and is not an aristocratic gentleman who only shows off his status.
