Chapter 1 That’s it for now, let’s eat first
The windows are covered with leaves that are so thin that they are almost transparent, allowing the morning sunlight to penetrate softly and warmly into the room.
The whole room was filled with the refreshing fragrance of wood.
The cool breeze blowing from the courtyard gently caressed his body. He felt a chill all over his body and his eyes opened unconsciously.
What caught his attention was not the modern European furniture in the room.
Instead, the mirror not far away reflected a beautiful face, with a hint of confusion and sleepiness in the cold emerald eyes.
It’s like trying to keep people away from you while still appearing harmless.
He raised his hand and touched his face.
The young boy with black hair and green eyes reflected in the mirror made exactly the same action.
"here it is…?"
Lanqi murmured.
He seems to have traveled through time.
The familiar look in the mirror was one he was very familiar with. He was a character from the new game "Lion Heart of Thorns" developed by their company.
As the main artist of the game, he was organizing colleagues in the company to offer incense to the planner's mother. He felt as if his brain was disconnected and his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he saw everything he saw now.
At the same time, a large amount of information flooded into his mind, and he struggled to understand the current situation.
Suddenly, his frown deepened.
Because he is not...a hero with unlimited potential or a heinous villain.
It is a supporting role in a side story of the game "The Rise of Thalia".
This young man named "Lan Qi" has no other characteristics except that he is good-looking, his family is rich, and his brain is not very good!
Since the portrait painting of the important character "Talia" in the game was entrusted to him, all the characters in the plot related to "Talia" were also drawn by him, including "Lanqi".
I never expected that now I have become a dragon in Lanqi ...
fine.
I drew Lan Qi very handsome in a professional spirit.
He held his chin and couldn't help but think.
“Speaking of which, why did this rich and noble man rush to the street…”
Although he belongs to the art department, he has played this game for the time being and has also received some character design copywriting.
Soon, he remembered—
There is a guy who is eyeing the life of "Rich Young Master Lanqi".
And that guy is the protagonist of the side story, and also the planned villain in the later stage of the game—Talia, the last descendant of the demon clan.
At this point in time, although the great demon Thalia has not yet risen and looks like just a down-and-out refugee girl, she is already very powerful.
In order to survive in the human kingdom, she has been trying hard to disguise herself.
Unless you are forced to do so, you will not be able to control your inner violence and ferocious nature.
And the story is told.
"Lanqi" was the first human to provoke Thalia to a rage after her exile.
The trigger of the feud was that "Lanqi" took the familiar Dark Pigeon sent by Thalia to scout for intelligence and killed it as prey.
When Thalia found "Ranchi" two days later.
The noble prince, who had not yet understood the seriousness of the problem, not only did not apologize, but also mocked Thalia wildly, who looked like a beggar.
Even threatened to roast her other familiars and throw her a super-awesome barbecue party!
finally.
"Lanqi" who wanted to die wanted to be hammered, but Thalia killed him in seconds, exploded a lot of gold coins, and took away the ancient relics [Psalm of Compassion] treasured by his family.
These plundered wealth have also become extremely important starting funds for Thalia's return to the demon clan.
In a sense, our living Bodhisattva Mr. Lanci is indeed Thalia’s great nobleman.
“I don’t want to be Thalia’s big brother—!”
Sitting on the bed, Lan Qi covered his head, as if he was waking up from a nightmare.
Calm down.
Think the best.
Things are actually not that bad.
Now that I know the "grievance between Lanci and Thalia", I just want to avoid all this!
Don't anger this demon boss and send her safely out of his own territory, OK!
At this moment, in this new world.
Lan Qi felt the long-lost motivation and spirit!
It must be the blessing of obeying the law and doing good deeds in previous lives.
Next, a wonderful life as a rich young man begins!
Economic freedom, no more overtime! Being rich and powerful is such a dream!
at this time.
A slight knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Master, are you awake yet? You asked me to wake you up early yesterday..."
I seemed to have heard the movement in the room, and a faint female voice came from outside the door.
“Wake up.”
Lan Qi responded and got out of bed. As soon as he stepped on the ground, he almost tripped over a pile of wine bottles at the foot of the bed.
He was stunned.
Right.
Ever since my predecessor turned 16 last month, he has gotten into the bad habit of drinking.
Hence, the memory of the past month or so always feels a bit intermittent.
Like his predecessor, he often behaved drunkenly and did stupid things.
In the original plot, "Lanchi provoked Talia", I don't know if it was because he was drunk.
So drinking alcohol is harmful to people.
Lan Qi sighed while changing his clothes.
Just walked out of the bedroom.
He noticed the shivering maid standing by the door.
The maid seems to have no choice but to complete the task of the bad boy, and is afraid that the bad boy will get angry and scold her if she is woken up.
"Good morning." Lanci said calmly.
"Eh?"
The maid looked surprised and made a sound subconsciously.
Seems to be judging Lan Qi’s mood today.
She reacted immediately and quickly said to Lan Qi:
“The master is already waiting for you in the restaurant.”
Lanqi nodded.
He knows that his parents in his predecessor are still alive and he is not an orphan.
It's just that they are busy running the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and in recent years they have almost adopted a free-range strategy towards Lanqi.
Even these days, in the memory of my predecessor, it is a rare thing for my father to come home.
While thinking about it, Lan Qi walked down the aisle of the mansion.
All servants without exception would flinch, bow deeply, and then scurry away as if running away.
It seems that the predecessor often caused trouble to the people around him.
Lan Qi sighed in his heart.
Although I don’t have many memories of being drunk, it seems that my predecessor would become irritable and throw things randomly when he was drunk. It is inevitable that the servants would be afraid.
…
Soon Lan Qi came to the restaurant.
He saw that sitting at the end of the long table was a middle-aged man, Lan Qi's father.
“You are late again today.”
Father did not mean to reprimand Lan Qi, he was just stating a certain fact.
“I’m sorry, I won’t drink alcohol anymore.”
There is no need to give up on yourself in the future.
Lanqi is very satisfied with the life of a rich young man.
His only one goal in life—
Live a comfortable, stable and secure life.
"sit down."
Obviously all the servants in the hall were surprised by Lan Qi's attitude.
The father nodded and answered after being slightly dazed.
"OK."
Lanci looked at the food on the table that was too rich to meet his definition of breakfast, and sat down in his seat.
Do not know why.
He felt something was strange.
Subconsciously, he raised his head and stared at a dish of cooked food in the center of the long table.
—Putted on the plate is a roasted pigeon with a golden and crispy exterior.
It is evenly coated with a layer of fragrant seasoning and remains in perfect shape after being cut.
"This is…"
Lan Qi had a strange expression, slowly raised his finger and pointed at the pigeon and asked.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt a sense of déjà vu.
Father did not respond immediately, and the attendants in the distance looked at Lan Qi with doubts on their faces.
●Today Lanqi seems very strange to them, in short, very gentle.
“It’s the pigeon you brought back yesterday. The servants made it for today’s breakfast according to your request.”
Father raised his head and glanced at Lan Qi, and said calmly,
“You were too drunk last night and don’t remember it?”
Ranchi: ""
yesterday?
The pigeon I brought back?
Lan Qi, who felt something was extremely wrong for a moment, quickly reached for the dish he didn't recognize and pretended to be calm.
Even though the roasted pigeon on the plate has changed beyond recognition.
But look closely at its shape and outline.
Lan Qi was finally convinced that it was the pigeon of the great demon Thalia.
After all, Thalia’s familiar was also drawn by him.
"How are you?"
Lanqi's unusual behavior could not be hidden from his father's eyes.
“Fortunately, it’s the sequelae of alcoholism. Drinking is harmful to people.”
Lanqi looked at his father with a smile and continued to eat breakfast.
Seeing the miserable state of Thalia's demon, Lan Qi felt a lump in his throat.
Predecessor, you are really a newborn...
Make someone else’s familiar look like this.
Then he wanted to mock her like that.
If she doesn’t kill you, she will become the demon king in vain!
Lan Qi couldn’t help but think, can this pigeon that is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside be saved?
The answer is no.
Then the most reasonable thing you should do now is very clear.
Evidence of the crime should be completely destroyed, and the person should cheer up and recover from the hangover.
So he finally reached out, picked up the pigeon leg and put it into his mouth. He took a bite of the crispy roast meat that was rich in salt and absorbed fat. Just like this, the wonderful taste spread in his mouth.
Satisfied.
Let’s feed the bones to the dog later.
