“Did you really do those things?”

Sid shook the snow off his boots and asked.

Generally speaking, a person's initial reactions, imaginings, and deductions are closely related to their own experiences.

No matter how she looked at it, she didn't think those strong men in the distant snowfield were going to kidnap, traffic, or even harvest organs.

“Absolutely not.”

Lan Qi shook his head, but seeing Sid's disdainful look, he still took out a "Certificate of No Criminal Record" issued by the Protoss Empire from his bag:

[Verified, subject of inquiry: Loki McCarthy, Nationality/Region: Protoss Empire/Southwest Province/Lillom City, Document Name: Resident ID Card, no criminal record found.]

It was also stamped with the official seal of the Helrom South Station Police Department in the Imperial Capital.

He showed it off to Sid triumphantly, pointing to the content above, everything was self-explanatory.

“I think normal people generally wouldn't go out of their way to get this.”

Sid commented objectively.

“I call this taking pride in abiding by the law.”

Lan Qi put away the certificate of no criminal record and hummed even more triumphantly.

On the other side of the snowfield in the distance.

The bandits, their attention drawn by the movements in the snow forest, looked at the two figures from afar and actually ignored them, chatting amongst themselves. The bandits' expressions suddenly became quite strange.

“Boss, do they look down on us?”

“Heh, didn't this young master from the south not realize the seriousness of the problem when he first noticed us?”

Several bandits glanced at the noble young master still struggling and resisting inside the barrier, sneered, and temporarily shifted their attention to the snow forest.

Even though they were dozens of meters apart, and the snow and wind were swirling on the ground, the bandits with scout functions could see everything clearly after activating their enhanced vision spells.

“Not bad, another pretty boy, the girl is passable.”

The unbridled voice floated towards the snow forest with the cold current.

However, after hearing the bandits' comments.

“……”

Lan Qi looked at Sid and smiled with pity.

It was like saying, "I'm more beautiful than you."

In fact, no matter how Sid disguised herself, she could be considered an outstanding beauty, but in the eyes of these somewhat strange bandits, she seemed only average.

“……”

Sid didn't remind Lan Qi how this smile would affect her favorability.

She just threw her luggage to Lan Qi, then rotated her wrist and walked alone towards the bandits and the young man.

Thus, a fierce battle unfolded.

…

Looking at the corpses lying horizontally on the snow, Lan Qi was silent for a moment, then looked at Sid again.

“Is there something you want to say?”

Sid asked Lan Qi.

“I’m afraid my favorability will drop again if I say it.”

“It already dropped when you said that.”

The young man kneeling on the snow, still in shock, looked at the two young people who had saved him. They stood in the sunlight on the snow, their backlit figures looking dark but incomparably dazzling.

He had not felt a tense atmosphere from these two people from beginning to end.

It was like they were really just sightseeing in the snow.

Although they both seemed like good people, Xia Ya always felt that there was something indescribably strange about these two people—

Whether encountering bandits or dealing with bandits, both of them seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, just standing there talking idly with relaxed expressions.

They were the kind of people who would brazenly say in court, "What's the big deal, it's just killing someone, right?" and still win the case.

Finally.

The green-eyed young man seemed to notice Xia Ya, who had been stunned on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, and looked at him with a gentle smile.

“Can you stand up?”

Lan Qi extended his gloved hand to Xia Ya.

“Thank you.”

The gentle and refined young man, Xia Ya, looked a little timid, but still grabbed Lan Qi's hand and was pulled up by him.

“My name is Loki, and she is Sid. Do you know how to get to Kingston City?”

Lan Qi asked Xia Ya, and even gave Sid a special look.

Even Xia Ya could understand what Lan Qi's look meant just now.

Obviously, it made the aloof, light-haired girl holding the map a little unhappy again.

“We are from the Protoss Royal Magic Academy and want to go to the northern border front line to complete some projects.”

In order to reassure Xia Ya, who had just been frightened, Lan Qi took out his certificate from Helrom in the Imperial Capital, while Sid took out his student monthly pass.

They didn't tell the young man that they were priests of the Annihilation Branch. After all, once the identity of the Rebirth Church was revealed, it might determine the other party's attitude.

Obviously, they had a better identity.

The academy faction emphasized neutrality.

“Protoss Royal Magic Academy… no wonder you seniors are so powerful. I know how to get to Kingston City. Bypass that snow forest and go forward for more than ten kilometers, and you'll be there. I was also on my way to Kingston City when I encountered the illegal organization in the snowfield.”

Xia Ya paid his respects to Lan Qi and Sid and quickly bowed to his saviors.

Although he didn't know what dangerous projects the two were doing to come to this chaotic and dangerous place in the north, he quickly saw that the documents in their hands were genuine because he was proficient in identifying the authenticity of documents, and if they were fake, they would be stopped and arrested when they arrived in Kingston City.

“That's great, can we travel together?”

Lan Qi asked with a gentle voice.

He was best at asking others for directions, and he never mistreated those who helped him lead the way.

“Of course!”

Xia Ya nodded straight away upon hearing this, as if he had found a savior.

Originally, he was worried about encountering danger again on the road ahead.

The two young people in front of him were quite powerful, and they could maintain a sense of confidence and composure even in the northern wilderness. They were probably among the top two or three graders in the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.

However, Xia Ya didn't dare to explore them further, fearing that it would be impolite, but he couldn't help but wonder if these two might even be able to be among the legendary Ten Seats...

However, Miss Levin Kingston certainly knew more about that school.

She had been to Helrom in the Imperial Capital last year and also knew some senior aristocratic students in the school.

Although there may be some delays in terms of news due to the blockade of communications in the north, if these two are students who have already gained a great reputation in the Protoss Royal Magic Academy, the young lady may have heard of their names.

Of course, it may also be because his knowledge is too shallow, so he thinks too much.

After all, the Ten Seats of the Protoss Royal Magic Academy are often the most outstanding young geniuses in the empire with sixth-order strength, and even in remote provinces, they are quite rare powerhouses.
