Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 776 - 680: Lanci Thinks Talia is Playing a Prank_2

"No, I didn’t like you very much at the time, and I was only with you for the money."

Talia looked at Lanci and responded to what was in his heart.

"Right, you were quite cold to me then. But it seems like after you returned from the Shadow World of Purgatory Corridor Academy, you started to treat me a bit nicer?"

Lanci remembered that it was roughly after he had brought the Shadow World Record Program to Talia, asking her to help him explore his Attribute suitability, and then he fell asleep on the desk. When he woke up, Talia was much nicer to him.

"...Do you still remember what you said to Hyperion in the Shadow World?"

Talia didn’t want to tell Lanci the answer.

"I said so much; I don’t know which part you’re referring to."

After pondering for a while, Lanci couldn’t figure out the answer.

"Forget it."

Talia muttered to herself.

As they stood in front of the painting, chatting, the sound of the door suddenly came.

Lanci’s gaze shifted towards the direction of the door.

"Looks like I’ve arrived just in time?"

Countess Rosalinda, holding a small bag of documents, walked towards them and gestured for them to sit on the sofa.

Today she was not wearing the vivid red evening gown like that night but a Cardmaker’s Association work outfit adorned with rose patterns.

"Miss Rosalinda, thank you for inviting us to view this painting."

Lanci and Talia both greeted Rosalinda and started chatting with her.

At this moment, Countess Rosalinda’s more formal identity was the president of the Southern Continent Card Maker Association’s Parriet branch, as well as the officer in charge of this session’s Eastern Region Platinum Level Card Maker examination.

"I was worried about making you wait, because recent preparation work has been overwhelming, and I almost got delayed and didn’t make it back on time, but I wanted to invite you to see the painting anyway, after all, you are my dear junior brother and sister."

Rosalinda was as enthusiastic as when they last met, showing a warm smile upon seeing them,

He indeed had no objections.

"Tata is really not going to assist and is taking the exam?"

Upon hearing this, Rosalinda not only did not seem troubled but actually showed a delighted expression,

"I told you, with Tata’s talents apparent to any observer, she wouldn’t be content remaining obscure."

Having Professor Bolao exactly willing to let Tata work in his laboratory was enough to speak of her abilities.

According to Rosalinda’s guess, she thought Tata might be more skilled in other types of magic crafts, but since she could serve as Lanci’s assistant examiner, it showed that she actually was a Card Maker skilled in Card Making.

"A talented woman..."

Lanci’s face turned ashen as he slumped to the side of the sofa and murmured,

With the accumulation of eight hundred years of knowledge, she definitely was a talented woman.

A large part of his Card Maker skills were actually on Great Love.

Now that Great Love had been devoured by Tata, who was also drawing upon his Mana for the exam, he was uncertain whether he could even fulfill the duties of an examiner.

"Just say I am a talent, alright?"

Talia questioned him in her heart.

She heard Lanci mention "eight hundred years," but she decided to give Lanci a chance.

"Indeed, it is talent that has been developed over time, not only talented but also virtuous and full of charm," Lanci internally sighed.

Immediately, Talia reached out and stealthily pinched Lanci on the side of his back, making him suddenly alert.

"..."

Countess Rosalinda observed the two and their gestures silently from across them.

Actually, she had sensed something was off during their last encounter at the Count’s Mansion, but she had pretended not to notice.

She wasn’t blind.

It seemed these two also thought she hadn’t seen it, and now they were treating her like part of their game, which made it even more difficult for her to burst their bubble.
