The city's rivers are sparkling, but the Helrom River is not ordinary, flowing with liquid mineral springs that contain magical energy.

As a magician, Ranch couldn't help but subconsciously get closer and closer to the river whenever he passed by, staring at the river surface and analyzing and thinking, and finally was almost taken to the river by a sharp turn in West Germany.

"Don't tease the magician."

Lan Qi sternly denounced.

"Don't worry, even if you fall, I'll catch you."

Sid snorted and crossed her back triumphantly, as if waiting for Ranch to thank her.

Every time she took Ranch with care, she never hurt him.

Familiar with the road, they already knew how to avoid the old neighborhood with disorganized space, but correspondingly, they would walk to the river.

The two chatted all the way, occasionally arguing, and then cautiously rounded the Helrom Zoo.

This zoo is too weird, they don't dare to set foot in it without Sigrid in its heyday, and then the Endless Library and the Starry Sky Theater will swing past them and overhead, and they can see the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos in front of them.

When Ranch first followed Zestyla to the imperial capital of Herrom, the deepest impression of the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos was that it was possible to walk from the station.

After not returning to the school for a long time, the two of them saw that the wide square outside the school was full of buds of the Demon Realm plant, and in the center of the square stood the new gate of the Royal Academy of Magic.

It looks different from the traditional Helrom classical architectural design style, but has a lost charm of the ancient demon world, coupled with the integration of the original stone slab internal space of the mountain and wild fairyland and the temple construction method, quite a psychedelic color of the intersection of heaven and the underworld.

Now many residents of the imperial capital have begun to check in at the entrance of the Royal Academy of Magic in Protos.

Quickly walking into the inner area of the school with Ranch, Sigrid only knows that the school's renovation plan for the new season is the principal's own hands.

I don't know what kind of impact this guy left behind in Helrom will have.

The only thing that is certain is that it will most likely become a landmark in Helrom in the future, and will be included in books, and may even spread to the Southern Continent, bearing the name of legendary craftsman Rocky McCarthy.

"Aren't you really a famous artist in your hometown?"

Sigrid looked at the scenery and then at Ranchi with a little confusion in her eyes.

"No, except for the prince, who likes me very much, the rest of the people have not seen my paintings much."

Lanchi smiled and shook his head.

At that time, he was only a second-order and had just left the house, so he didn't think it was a good thing to show his talents too much, so he lived a rather low-key life in the Hutton Kingdom.

He proved right, just like the owners of the slates, who were innocent and guilty, and if the deterrent fell, anyone could run and kill them.

That is, he is so happy when he mixes in the Northern Continent, has his own career foundation, and has a big daddy to cover him.

When he returned to the Southern Continent, Tata's cheap bodyguard was not as reliable as one ten-thousandth of Xide, and it was better for him to keep a low profile before stepping into the real seventh-order transcendent sainthood, if he was really going to be targeted, it would be as good as Duke Miya's disappearance.

Sigrid frowned in confusion.

The prince liked more than just the paintings of her holy son? Even his people like it?

"You're better at drawing?"

As a collector, she thinks that the best thing for the Son is to be carving, and applying it to card making, as well as landscape design.

She had the impression that this kid could do everything except paint seriously, and he would purely paint...... She hadn't even seen this guy put his mind on the paintbrush.

If he really wants to become a top painter, he should always work hard at this age and love painting.

"I know a little bit about it, and I'm interested."

Whenever someone asked him, he would only answer like this.

"Then how many paintings have you painted seriously in the Southern Continent?"

Sigrid asked again.

It's not that this kid hasn't painted, it's just too casual, and he looks perfunctory, and she had seen the sketches that this kid used to show to the nobles in the Snow Plains Province before.

"It's like just one picture."

“……”

It seems that this kid really doesn't like to draw.

"Very well, I figured out how to punish you."

Sigrid said to Lanchi with a slight smile on his lips.

"You don't want me to draw, do you?"

Ranch looked in surprise at Sigrid walking beside him.

He knew what Sigrid meant by "punishment", as early as when they reached an agreement to infiltrate the branch of annihilation, Sigrid had said that if she was to go all out to reveal her identity, then she must give Ranchi a little punishment, and sure enough, she still remembered it.

"When the matter is settled, and I don't need to hide your identity any more, I want you to paint a picture for me, called 'Rocky McCarthy's Congratulatory Gift to Archbishop Sigrid', and then execute you publicly, so that everyone can see that Principal Rocky McCarthy is also not good at something."

Sigrid smiled slyly.

Punishment is to make people do something they like the most, so that it will be an effective punishment, otherwise it will be a reward.

"So, understood."

Lan Qi didn't resist much, just nodded, and he would naturally fulfill the rules he had promised.

The two of them crossed the school's busy main road and entered an area flanked by courtyards and mansions, where the atmosphere was noticeably calmer.

"It's just ahead."

Led by Sigrid, they quickly followed the house number to Gloria's mansion and rang the doorbell.

Now, not only has Sigrid changed his identity as a first-year freshman in Chestton City, Snowfield Province, but even Ranch has temporarily lost Rocky McCarthy's appearance.

After all, the principal and a female student come back from outside the school and walk together all the way in the school, which may cause some concern or misunderstanding.

The sound of the doorbell echoed in Gloria's mansion for a moment, and then, with the sound of approaching footsteps, the door opened, and a young girl appeared in the doorway, her face visibly confused.

Gloria blinked.

"...... you two?"

Gloria's voice was a mixture of wariness and curiosity, and her gaze alternated between the two.

"It's me."

Sigrid said with a nod as she stared into Gloria's eyes.

“！”

Although Gloria had shown a puzzled expression earlier, she knew in an instant who the man and woman who had found her were.
