Don't confiscate my citizenship

Late at night like this, a layer of light gray mist occasionally hides the white light of the moonlight, making the living room flicker.

The three of them sat at opposite ends of the sofa next to the glass wall.

"Do you know Lord Tiffany's executioner, Mr. Nigel?"

Ranch asked Countess Rosalinda.

He still had a good impression of the chief who spared him and Tata.

If the executioner really had a harsh character, he wouldn't have hesitated so much after seeing Lissancy's suspected recovery.

After Lanci accepted the commission, he would naturally help Talia investigate the reason why the demon curse went crazy. Nigel, the executioner, is likely to be a good intelligence provider.

"Nigel from Mr. Tiffany, he is a demon orphan with outstanding fighting talent. He was adopted by a powerful demon in the Posen Demon Realm when he was a child. He grew up with the two daughters of that demon. That is A pair of sisters, but the younger sister was unfortunately cursed. Finally, that night, Nigel cut off the younger sister's head in front of her sister..."

Rosalinda shook her head and sighed, and said somewhat unbearably,

"Since then, he has never met his mentor and childhood sweetheart. He has taken refuge with Duke Tiffany and has become an executioner of the Senate, specializing in killing demons who violate laws and go mad."

"Has this curse existed for a long time?"

Lan Qi frowned slightly and asked.

He originally thought that it happened frequently a hundred years ago and has been calm since then, but according to Rosalinda, there may have been signs in recent years, and only recently it has started to explode again.

"It stands to reason that it has never disappeared, but in the intervening decades it has reduced to a negligible frequency, even lower than the fatality rate of ordinary diseases, so it no longer becomes a problem. At the same time, for Poisson Peace and stability between humans and demons, this legend that could easily scare both sides was deliberately hidden. Until from an unknown moment, this frequency began to become wrong, as if someone had obtained the taboo of the great wizard Parroni The curse brought back his resentment.”

Countess Rosalinda explained.

"How did Nigel report the accident to the Senate?"

Thalia put down the empty wine glass and asked Rosalinda next to Lanci.

She didn't want to become the person who attracted the attention of Posen Kingdom as soon as she and Lanqi came to Huadu.

"I personally feel that... Nigel did not report the situation in detail, let alone talk to the point. He only told part of what he saw, heard and speculated."

Rosalinda was also confused;

"So according to the information I got from the Senate, Marquis de Lisese, Nigel probably admitted that he had misjudged the appearance of a suspected mad demon on the airship. In fact, it is not necessarily as big as before. The same curse as the wizard Parroni's Grudge."

Lanqi and Tata may know more about what is really going on on the Floating Castle airship than she does.

"That's it."

Lan Qi said to himself.

Thalia noticed that Ranch was deep in thought.

"What's wrong?"

She asked Lan Qi in her mind.

"I think Nigel is not necessarily protecting me purely out of his personal attitude, but he may also be hesitant about the Senate and the higher-ups in the demon world, so he did not directly take us back and report that we can break the curse. fact."

Lan Qi replied.

Even Countess Rosalinda didn't know that the two of them could solve the curse in a different way.

Nigel's secrecy was undoubtedly a disguised way of protecting them.

"In his opinion, anyone in Posen may be related to the curse caster, but we two foreigners are more innocent, right?"

Thalia conveyed her thoughts.

"That's right."

Lanci confirmed.

When the two of them were communicating with each other.

"I don't know the specific situation, and I have no intention of delving into it, but you two should pay attention to the incident you were involved in. There are still many witnesses who gave different answers, whether it is the Senate or Posen In the demon world, there may be people who become interested in you because of rumors."

Countess Rosalinda told them.

"I understand, thank you, Senior Sister Rosalinda."

Lan Qi nodded and thanked.

"No matter what, as a platinum-level card maker of the Hutton Kingdom, the Senate will also take your status into consideration and not do anything that offends the Hutton Kingdom. After all, we promised Hutton that we would ensure that Your safety."

Rosalinda said, handing the pale gold metal mechanism box that had been placed next to the sofa to Lan Qi.

Lan Qi slowly took it, and without opening it, he could roughly feel that it contained his certificate as a platinum-level card maker, examiner uniform, and face coverings.

Of course, some of the items belonged to the examiner's assistant Tata. Talia had registered the information with Professor Borao before coming to the Posen Kingdom.

"The exam questions for this year's three exams have not yet been determined at the headquarters, but there must be one where you will be the main exam, and one where you will be the secondary exam. You will partner with me once, and once with another platinum-level card maker from the Aloran Kingdom. .”

Countess Rosalinda stretched out her hand and pressed lightly on the machine box, and then the machines gradually unraveled and spread out, signaling Lanqi to check the items in the machine box.

"Can't you be the deputy examiner for both games?"

Lan Qi asked as he began to count.

To be honest, he is really not good at some test questions, and he is also a partial subject.

"No, you can't paddle. After all, the pay for proctoring is not low."

Rosalinda's eyes narrowed, staring at Ranchi.

The remuneration given by the proctor to the examiner can be converted into the currency of the Southern Continent Kingdom Federal Bank, or the inventory of the Southern Continent Card Makers Association can be purchased at a lower discount. At the same time, if you want to maintain the platinum level qualifications and rights, you need to attend regularly or Undertake the official duties of the Southern Continent Card Creators Association.

"Then please take care of me."

Lan Qi could only nod and smile helplessly.

As usual, the exam will start a week later, and as examiners, they only know the test questions two days before the exam.

"You can just come to the Southern Continent Card Makers Association branch in Huadu in a few days. I will personally explain to you the specific matters of the exam."

Countess Rosalinda instructed them both.

"What about these days?"

Thalia asked.

"You are free to sightsee. You can go shopping in the Flower Capital Parrieu. By the way, there are some materials that you can't find in the Card Creators Association's inventory. You can go to the Petras Auction House in the Flower Capital. They are also huge in the southern continent. Chain dealers, maybe there will be treasures you want.”

Countess Rosalinda thought for a moment.

She remembered that Professor Borao told her about the materials that the two wanted, and she had already found a way to prepare some of the materials that could be purchased quickly for them.

"No matter how you play, you two had better not go to the police station again. If you commit another crime while on bail, I won't be able to get you out, and you will be criticized in the newspaper."

After she finished speaking, she felt a little worried and emphasized again to Lan Qi and Tata.

"..."

The two people across the sofa lowered their heads in embarrassment.

It's really embarrassing to get into trouble because of a fight.

But Lan Qi thought from the other side that the police in Huadu were really awesome.

Even the devil can be arrested.

"..."

Thalia glanced at Ranchi.

Of course, both of them are responsible for getting into the situation.

But before meeting Lan Qi, she had never been arrested in any country in the Southern Continent for so many years.

It was all because of this guy that she became so easily taken advantage of and no longer looked like herself.

"Why is Huadu conducting strict investigations recently?"

Lanci suddenly thought of what Chief Zefa said when he left the Parrieu Police Headquarters.

It stands to reason that the police station is not responsible for in-depth cases related to the demon curse. Once it occurs, the police will be handed over to the Senate execution force for special handling.

So obviously their recent changes in affairs don't have much to do with the demons.

"Yes, you two, please pay attention. Recently, there seem to be two or three cardinals moving closer to Poson. Their purpose seems to be to destroy the bishop."

Countess Rosalinda seemed to have remembered something and quickly said to the two of them,

"The current biggest goal of the police is to arrest a cardinal, so that their performance in recent years can be said to be full, and at the same time, they can write a significant chapter in Huadu's public security propaganda."

She explained what was going on at the police station.

Under ordinary circumstances, it was impossible to arrest the Cardinal. The Cardinal might have brought down the whole city with his backhand.

However, Bishop of Destruction Ivanos is currently seriously injured. According to his whereabouts, there is a high probability that he has hidden his identity and sneaked into the Posen Kingdom.

In addition to the saying that "the most dangerous place is often the safest place", it is also because there are protective barriers in some large city-states. Other cardinals cannot attack her arbitrarily, otherwise they will immediately attract the encirclement and suppression of national defense forces in the away game. , so hiding in the territory of the United Kingdom Council is also a kind of shelter for the destruction of Bishop Ivanos.

As long as the Poisson police intensify their search efforts, they may really get the prize and complete the feat of arresting the cardinal.

After listening to Rosalinda's story, both Ranch and Thalia breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed the right choice not to bring Hyperion, otherwise the Cardinal might have targeted her.

"The United Kingdom Council heard this and found it very interesting. Their analysts said that there is indeed a certain probability of catching the cardinal through the police."

Rosalinda continued to tell them interesting stories about the Western Central District, the Kingdom of Canberra, and the headquarters of the United Kingdom Council.

"So the next divination will probably revolve around verifying the restrictions imposed by the Kingdom of Posen on the Cardinal and the Cardinal's whereabouts in Posen. If a Cardinal accidentally violates the rules many times, the violation records may be exposed. Make it into a propaganda video to popularize the law.”

No matter what the outcome is, she believes it will be a good publicity for public security.

Lan Qi also laughed after hearing this.

In his impression, none of the cardinals were funny, they were all appalling.

"Haha, if a cardinal is really caught, he will become a comedian, and he will be put in jail."

He commented with a cheerful smile.
