NOVPUB"Have you really done those things?"
Sikder kicked some snow off of his boots and asked.
In general, one’s first reactions, imaginations, and reasoning are closely tied to his or her personal experiences.
No matter how she looked at it, she did not feel that the burly men on the snowfield planned to kidnap, trafficking, or even harvest organs.
"Absolutely not."
Lanci shook his head, but seeing Sikder’s disdainful look, he took out a "No Crime Record" issued by the Protoss Empire from his bag:
[Upon checking, the person under investigation: Rocky McCarthy, Nationality/Region: Protoss Empire/Xi Nan Province/Lilom City, ID: Resident ID Card, no criminal record found.]
The document even had the official stamp of the Police Station of Herram South Station.
He proudly showed it to Sikder, pointing to the content on it, saying everything without uttering a word.
"I feel like normal people wouldn’t go out of their way to get this."
Sikder gave an objective comment.
"I consider it an honor to abide by the law."
Lanci put away his No Crime Record, humming proudly.
On the other side of the snowfield in the distance.
The bandits who were attracted by the noise in the snow forest looked at the two figures, disregarding them a few times, and started chatting on their own. The expressions of the bandits became quite strange.
"Boss, are they looking down on us?"
"Ha, didn’t this southern young master fail to realize the seriousness of the problem when he first noticed us?"
The bandits glanced at the noble young man still struggling in the barrier, sneered, and temporarily shifted their attention to the snow forest.
Even tens of meters away, despite the snow storm on the snowfield, the bandits with scout roles could still clearly see everything after casting a spell to enhance their vision.
"Not bad, another handsome young man, and the girl is acceptable."
The reckless voice floated to the side of the snow forest with the cold wind.
However, after hearing the comments from the bandits.
"..."
Lanci looked at Sikder and gave her a sympathetic smile.
As if to say, "I’m prettier than you are."
Even if Sikder tried to disguise herself, she was an outstanding beauty, but to these peculiar bandits, she seemed just average.
"..."
Sikder didn’t tell Lanci how this one smile could affect his favorability rating.
She simply threw her luggage to Lanci, rotated her wrist, and walked alone towards the bandits and the young man.
Then the two sides began a fierce battle.
...
Looking at the few corpses lying on the snow, Lanci fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Sikder again.
"Do you have something to say?"
Sikder asked Lanci.
"I’m afraid to say anything in case it lowers my favorability rating again."
"Your favorability rating dropped the moment you said that."
The young man kneeling on the snowfield, still in shock, looked up at the two young people who had saved him. They stood in the sun-beaten snow, their backlit figures were dark and unmatchedly dazzling.
He never felt any tension from these two people from start to finish.
It was as if they were really just sightseeing in the snowfield.
Although they seemed like good people, Shaar felt an indescribable dissonance from the two of them——
Whether it was encountering bandits or dealing with bandits, the two of them seemed to have no emotional fluctuation, just standing there casually chatting.
They are the kind of people who can blatantly say in court, "What’s the big deal? It’s just killing someone," and then still winning the case.
Finally.
The green-eyed young man seemed to notice Shaar, who was still dazed on the ground and couldn’t get up, and smiled gently at him.
"Can you stand up?"
Lanci held out his gloved hand to Shaar.
"Thank you."
Shaar, a gentlemanly and timid young man, caught Lanci’s hand and was pulled up by him.
"My name is Rocky, she’s Sikder, do you know how to get to Chinston City?"
Lanci asked Shaar, even purposely glancing at Sikder.
Even Shaar could understand what Lanci meant by that glance.
Obviously, he had once again annoyed this aloof light-haired young woman who was holding the map.
"We are from the Protoss Royal Magic Academy, and we want to go to the northern border to complete some topics."
In order to make Shaar, who had just been frightened, feel at ease, Lanci took out his ID card from Herram, the empire’s capital, while Sikder took out a student bus pass.
They didn’t tell the young man that they were Priests from the Nirvana Branch, because once the identity of the Rebirth Church is revealed, it could potentially alter the other person’s attitude.
Clearly, they have a better identity.
People of the Academy faction stress neutrality.
"Protoss Royal Magic Academy... No wonder you guys are so powerful, I know the way to Chinston City, just bypass that forest, walk more than ten kilometers ahead and you will be there. I was on the way to Chinston City when I encountered an illegal organization in the snowfield."
Shaar looked reverently at Lanci and Sikder, quickly bowing to the people who had saved his life.
Although he did not know what dangerous topics the two had come to this northern chaotic and dangerous land for, he, who was good at identifying the authenticity of documents, quickly noticed that the documents in their hands were genuine. And if they were not, they would be stopped and arrested in Chinston City.
"That’s great, can we travel together?"
Lanci asked in a warm voice.
He was best at asking others for directions and never mistreated those who guided him.
"Of course, we can!"
Upon hearing this, Shaar immediately nodded, as if he had found a lifeline.
He was originally worried about encountering danger on the road ahead.
The two extremely strong young people in front of him, who maintain their confidence and composure even in the northern wilderness, are likely among the top students in their second or third year at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.
But Shaar didn’t dare to delve into them, fearing that it would be impolite, and he couldn’t help but wonder if these two people could even be among the legendary Top Ten.
However, Miss Viscount Levin Chinston would definitely know more about this school.
She had been to Herram, the Empire’s capital, last year, and knew some upper-class students in the school.
Although due to the blockade of communication in the north, there might be some delays in news, but if these two are well-known students in the Protoss Royal Magic Academy, the young lady might have heard of their names.
Of course, it may also be because his knowledge is too shallow, so he is overthinking.
After all, the Top Ten of the Protoss Royal Magic Academy usually have sixth-order strength and are the most outstanding young talents of the empire. Even in remote provinces, they are rare powerful individuals.
