"Regret?" Lan Que asked.
Luo Binhan was embarrassed to explain to her what he had done, so he could only continue to say with a dull expression: "I regret being too impulsive before, mainly because I regret not treating you better."
"Oh, Luo Han, you don't have to worry about this." Lan Que waved his hand cheerfully, "Then everything is over, okay? I am a mage, and I will have to experience a lot in the future! And during this period of time, I have learned a lot. I’ve learned a lot of new things and I’m honored to experience them.”
She patted her chest proudly and offered to exchange StarNet accounts with Luo Binhan, but Luo Binhan had no idea what it was. Lan Que put his hands on his hips and thought for a while and said, "Well, okay. I think we will solve this problem later."
So they walked towards the exit of the spacecraft. Luo Binhan took the initiative to help Lan Que carry two wooden boxes. One of them was filled with Lan Que's streamlined personal belongings; the other held two apprenticeship agreements that had no chance of meeting Luo Binhan. He also tried to place Fina on his shoulder on top of the box, but was unceremoniously slapped by the tail.
Blue Magpie laughed: "Why did you make it angry again?"
"That's not the case." Luo Binhan waved his hands and said, "It's just a cold-blooded animal without a conscience. I originally wanted to help it get rid of some bad habits, but it ended up resenting me for several days. Leave it alone, I'll send you back first."
At this time, he had not mentioned Yaleriga's "hospitality" to Lan Que, and was just thinking about how to intervene in the topic naturally and reasonably. In the end, Lan Que said: "No, no, I'm not going to the mage tower here right away. I want to go to Durand's shop first. Do you want to come with me, Luo Han? Or come back after I finish shopping. Do you say goodbye?"
Luo Binhan almost thought that Lan Que had some secret mind-reading skills. He quickly expressed that he was completely free and would be willing to accompany Lan Que for a walk.
"That's great! I want to buy something before I leave, and maybe go to their store for a meal. Have you tried the Baiwei Juice in Sugar City, Luo Han?"
Luo Binhan stared and shook his head. Lan Que smoothed his hair and declared decisively: "You should go and eat once, Luo Han. It just so happened that your captain gave me a sum of money. I think I can treat you to eat once!"
"Uh." Luo Binhan said. He felt that the situation seemed a bit reversed.
"And Mr. Momolo." Lan Que continued, "I am very grateful for the enlightenment and help he gave me. Is he free to come with us?"
Luo Binhan was quite willing for Momoluo to join Blue Magpie's farewell party, but at the same time he was worried that this would not meet the mission requirements set by Yaleriga for him, so he refused to tell him about the Doomsday Temple. On the other hand, Luo Binhan is also quite concerned about Momolo's recent performance.
"I think Lao Mo has been worried lately." He told Lan Que half-truthfully, "I guess he's not in the mood to go out and play. I'll pack him up and bring him back something delicious."
Lan Que wasn't too suspicious, but looked a little regretful. She scratched her hair thoughtfully and said, "I quite like my current look, but this one is a bit too heavy. Anyway, I will return to the agreement status soon, maybe I should take it off first..."
"Don't take them off!" Luo Binhan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Put them all on! Don't take off any of them!"
His reaction could not help but surprise Lan Que again. Luo Binhan bravely explained to her that he particularly liked her look. Lan Que was a little embarrassed by his crazy praise, but decided not to take it off for the time being.
"Well, I guess it won't take much energy to travel this small distance," she said.
Luo Binhan kept nodding and tried his best to smile, but his face was very uncooperative and he could only express encouragement and approval with his eyes. They agreed on everything and then set out for the outside world. Before this, Luo Binhan specifically sought out Yaleriga and asked for all the information he could get. With the help of these preparations, they successfully walked out of the port and entered the ordinary residential areas outside Sugar City.
According to Yaleriga, Senlei Ball is a transformed desert planet, and the total volume of the planet is equivalent to half of his hometown. There is no ocean on its surface, there is very little rainfall, and the water is locked underground, so most of the area is covered by gray-black sand.
Luo Binhan thought that such a planet would be difficult to breed life, but Yaleriga told him that the probability of the birth of advanced civilization on this kind of planet was actually higher than the complex and changeable blue planet in Luo Binhan's hometown. Because despite the limited resources on the surface, the atmospheric environment of the desert planet can remain stable for a long time, rarely causing the civilization on the surface to suffer devastating blows due to drastic changes in climate.
It was this obvious advantage that attracted the Durands to station themselves here. They made small changes to the planet's surface, and then used it as a transit point for foreign trade. That probably won't bring much profit, but the key point they advocate is to seize the market first and spread the business to the greatest extent possible. To this end, they carefully planned and built a local sugar city in accordance with their business practices (considering that the share of overseas business is limited, it is actually just a few sugar streets), from which all related facilities and buildings are radiated. .
Naturally, they also sent in cat-man security teams. As the Durand people have long declared to the outside world, their ambitions are not limited to one of the cornerstones of evolution. Therefore, theoretically, wherever the Galaxy Front advances, they will do business wherever they go. However, in the eyes of outsiders, what symbolizes the existence of Sugar Land is not them themselves, but a gang of cat people who follow the way of the lion and gather together for righteousness. Unlike Durandians, who absorb sugar through their skin and are easily over-excited by it, cats can rely on sugar to increase concentration without the troubles of aquatic life. This makes their position even more unshakable. As leaders, the Durands always change their training, but the security chief is as stable as a rock, patrolling the Sugar Land for hundreds of years. The undercurrent of the power struggle between the two sides and the resulting cultural jokes will always be a hot topic among the public.
After walking out of the port, Luo Binhan finally saw the cat people that Marin had described to him. In fact, as early as in Gate City, he had seen strange cats that could stand upright, talk, and even take over people, but the cat people here were a little different. They are all relatively large in size, and their fur colors are mainly orange and soot. Some of them can even reach Luo Binhan's chest when they stand up. Despite this, their contemptuous expressions seemed to be two heads taller than Luo Binhan.
There are various faces in the residential area, but most of them are cats. When Luo Binhan and Lan Que walked by, the cat people passing by often ignored Luo Binhan, but couldn't help but glance at Lan Que's slightly swaying vine hair.
Blue Magpie didn't care at all. She looked absolutely delighted, looking around for any cat attracted by her hair.
This made Luo Binhan feel somewhat left out. He quietly asked the blue magpie: "You keep staring at them like this, won't you make these few angry?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, Luo Han." Blue Magpie replied with a chuckle, "They are cat people in Sugar Land, and being noticed by others is their second favorite thing!"
"Then what's number one?" Luo Binhan asked.
Before Lan Que had time to answer, a shadow had already stopped in front of them. Luo Binhan took a closer look and found that it was an imposing and armed black cat.
Its fur was black and shiny, and it looked extremely thin. However, it was taller than any other cat Luo Binhan had ever seen, and its eyesight was enough to be on the same level as the two of them. Those eyes, as deep as the night, gazed at him, making it difficult to fathom his inner thoughts.
"Hello you two," it said, "I've never seen you before."
Its voice is deep and pleasant, but it is still obviously different from Homo sapiens. Luo Binhan couldn't explain it clearly, but he felt that every word he spoke out seemed to have a drawn-out ending. Before he could finish pondering the purpose of the black cat security guard's greeting, Lan Que had already answered openly: "Hello, sir. This is our first time here today."
"Come to such a far place for sightseeing?"
"Oh, I am a pre-maester of the White Tower and was asked to come here to submit a report. This is the guard I hired. We want to go to Sugar Land to see it before we finish our official business."
Luo Binhan couldn't help but steal a glance at Lan Que, but he couldn't see any guilty expression on that wooden face. The black cat security guard didn't seem to doubt her reason. He just raised his tail thoughtfully, with the tip of his tail slightly curved.
"We are honored to be appreciated by our new guests," it said slowly, "and, inevitably, I noticed your hair. It's beautifully styled."
"Thanks. Do you want to play?"
Luo Binhan thought he heard Lan Que's words wrongly. But then the black cat readily agreed, turning over and falling to the ground. The blue magpie bent down and dropped the green vine like a waterfall, and then shook it constantly, making a "squeaking" sound.
The black cat was so excited that it kept tapping the ends of the vine with its claws, trying to catch the flowers on it. The game lasted for three full minutes as Luo Binhan watched. The blue magpie threw his hair back, leaned over and scratched the black cat's chin and belly. After both parties had enjoyed themselves, the black cat stood up from the ground, patted the fur lazily with its paws, and then said: "Go forward at the first intersection. I wish you a pleasant sightseeing."
It walked away contentedly, leaving Luo Binhan standing there dumbfounded. Lan Que combed his messed up hair.
"See, Luo Han." She said, "They don't like foreigners very much, but their biology determines that they are very suitable for the service industry, because this is what cats like first - letting others help them. Comb.”
