Prologue VII: Travel

"Hmm......"

On a wooden bed made of precious wood in a classical European style, Lux was stretching her limbs comfortably, letting the white quilt covering her body rub her petite body. After stretching a little lazy waist www.biquge.info she opened her big eyes that were still confused, and a pleasant call came from the cherry mouth: "Alice ......" Shaoqing, seeing that no one answered, she couldn't help but turn her head to look around, and saw that this bedroom was magnificent, and when the warm color of the bedroom at home was gone, she realized that this was no longer Klein Mansion.

Gradually sobering up and remembering that he came to December with Siegel, looking at the empty bedroom without a familiar figure, he fell silent for a while, and then sighed softly: "It's really a little unaccustomed to say without Alice." After saying that, Lux did not rush to get up, but lay quietly on the bed and stared at the gorgeous crystal lamp above the bed.

"One man...... It's boring. ”

When she arrived, Lux only thought that she could celebrate her father's birthday with her, but forgot that she had no friends in December, so naturally she had no one to play with - although in fact, as the only heir to the Klein family, Lux had no other male or female friends except for the maid in the mansion and Alice, who was a sister in personal relations, because she was not of school age, and therefore did not have any other male or female friends, in short, no friends.

"Ah, I don't want to do so much, otherwise I can't help crying when I think about it."

Lux, who looked like joy, raised her white and slender little hand and patted it gently, as if to cheer herself up, but the big eyes that seemed to be able to speak showed a confused and sad color, and the gradually diffused clouds also shrouded the eyes that should have been bright, making them foggy and not very real.

By the time Lux recovered from her sadness, went to the bathroom to get groomed, and returned to her bedroom, thirty minutes had passed quietly.

said that she was grooming, but in fact, she just washed her face, brushed her teeth, and rinsed her mouth, and the clothes on her body did not change, so when she stood in front of the dresser, she was still wearing the pale yellow lily dress, and even her hairstyle had not changed much. If Lux just woke up with a bit of lazy and coquettish temperament, then Lux at this time returned to her original tranquility and beauty, of course, it was also very cute.

"Now, it's time to get ready to go out."

showed a lovely smile to himself in the mirror, and the cherry mouth opened slightly, and the pleasant sound spread, as crisp and pleasant as the chirping of the yellow warbler......

Leaving the bedroom, Lux walked down the hallway, out of the hallway, on the red carpet, until she came to the door of the guardhouse, and then greeted Reed, who was chatting with the guard: "Uncle Reed, people want to go out." As she spoke, Lux glanced at the guardhouse and saw a few boxes of unfinished fast food on the table with many monitors, and then remembered that it seemed to be only half past twelve, and it was time for lunch, so Lux changed her words again: "Uncle Reed and the guard uncles haven't finished lunch yet, right?" The man went back to the living room and waited for a while, and Uncle Reed came into the living room after lunch. With that, Lux was about to turn around when Reed stopped him.

"Your Highness Lux, I've already had lunch." Speaking, obviously still holding the lunch box in his hand, Reed, who obviously hadn't finished eating, stuffed the lunch box into the arms of the guard who was chatting with him, and without waiting for the guard to say anything, he turned around and came to Lux a few steps, and a shallow smile appeared on his angular face, and asked Lux in somewhat stiff Chinese: "I don't know where His Highness Lux wants to go?" ”

Reed is a European race, although Chinese has become one of the mainstream languages in the world, Reed has not yet fully mastered it, so he seems a little stiff when speaking Chinese.

In fact, he didn't really understand why the Klein family in the zodiac would use Chinese as the language of communication, after all, the mainstream language in the world is English in addition to Chinese, and the commonly used language in Europe obviously cannot be Chinese, but Reed has not asked Siegel about this, so he can only bury this doubt in his heart and try to adapt to communicating in Chinese.

"People are not in a hurry to go out, and if Uncle Reed hasn't eaten enough, he can finish his meal before going out with them."

Lux is indeed not in a hurry to go out, her little belly has not rebelled yet, not to mention that she is not a gentleman who does not know how to understand people, the kind-hearted Lux just didn't remember for a moment that it was meal time, so she just seemed a little reckless to greet Reed just now.

Reed saw that Lux had euphemistically postponed the time of the trip, and it was not easy to force it again, and considering that if he didn't eat enough, he might drop the chain at a critical moment, so he nodded without hesitation, and said in a grateful tone: "Thank you, Your Highness Lux, for your understanding, please go to the living room first, and I'll come over to call you later." Seeing that Lux nodded in agreement and turned to walk the red carpet into the hallway, Reed turned and walked towards the guards who were looking at him with a smile on their faces.

The guard who was forcibly stuffed into his arms by Reed walked up to him with a smile, and while handing the lunch box to Reed, he also laughed and teased: "Hey, Noah, you should have just been sent to protect His Highness Lux, right?" As he spoke, he didn't wait for Reed to answer, but laughed and said, "You don't need to answer, we know by the trembling look you just now." ”

"Uh......"

Reed looked at the guards with a smile on their faces, and he couldn't understand what they meant.

"You just said you came out of the Royal Guard, right? No wonder I am so in awe of His Royal Highness Lux, ha, the royal guard has a lot of rules, and if it were me, I couldn't stand it. The guard who handed the lunch box to Reed smiled and reached out to pat Reed's thick shoulder, and when he saw the puzzled look on his face, he said again: "Although according to Captain Li, His Royal Highness Lux is in the same vein as the Klein royal family, but you must understand that His Royal Highness Lux was born in Plant, not the Klein royal family, so she naturally does not have the bad habits of royal children, and she will not despise our hard-working hard haha." ”

Saying this, he paused, and while he was breathing, another guard took over the topic: "On the contrary, although Her Royal Highness Lux has elegant manners and shows the noble temperament of the royal family, she is very easy-going, and kind-hearted, and very considerate of her subordinates...... Although it is said that Captain Li is yang and yin, he has not let us rest...... But we can also feel the love that His Highness Lax cares for us. As he spoke, the guard's eyes showed a faint look of emotion.

The guard beside Reed squinted at the guard who had just taken over the topic, and after seeing him smile, he turned his head to look at Reed, and said with a smile: "Although we haven't really had to rest, we can still appreciate His Highness Lux's concern, so we are willing to continue training in order to better protect His Highness Lux." As he spoke, he patted Reid on the shoulder again, and laughed: "I won't say much about these old things, anyway, you just need to remember that you don't need to pose like the soft egg just now in front of His Highness Lux, what you are meant to be, what you should be in front of her...... Okay, don't say more, hurry up and finish your lunch, travel with His Highness Lux, you must protect His Highness Lux well, if she is hurt in any way, all of our special forces will never spare you. ”

"Uh......"

Reed heard the words of the guards, and felt a lot of emotion for a while, but he was speechless, until the guard next to him patted him on the shoulder again, he let go of this feeling, and assured with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, I don't need you to say, I won't let His Highness Lux suffer any harm." After saying that, he didn't say anything more, but ate the rest of the food in the lunch box in his hand two or three times, and threw it into the garbage basket in the corner of the wall.

Before leaving the guardhouse, Reed suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile: "I remember that Your Excellency Siegel also called your captain to protect Lux, if Luxs is hurt, will you also beat him?" Reed seemed to be just joking, but it made the guards look stunned, as if they remembered something terrifying, and then they all showed a heroic expression, and said in unison: "Even if we don't want to fight for this life, we will beat Captain Li (Yalin) ......" Hearing this, Reed was speechless again, and finally could only shake his head helplessly, and turned around and left the guardroom.

After he left, the atmosphere was silent for a while, and one of the guards suddenly muttered in a low voice: "I suspect that even if we are side by side, I am afraid that we will only be beaten away by Captain Yalin, his ability to call qigong is too terrifying, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an alien, not a human." His words immediately caused the other guards to nod their heads in agreement......

"The air here is so good......

Walking with an elegant step that is not like that of an ordinary child, Lux walked quietly on the park path paved with round and smooth cobblestones, and the white round-toed suede low heels stepped on the cobblestones to make a crisp collision sound one after another, and played a natural music with the birdsong around from time to time, which was a harmonious and beautiful picture, so that the citizens who passed by here from time to time could not help but stop their steps, and quietly saluted Lux until she left her sight.

Even Reed, who was Lux's personal guard, consciously stayed three meters away from Lux when he saw this beautiful picture, but he did not relax his vigilance, but used his headset to communicate with the guards around him who were left by Siegel to protect Lux, and always understood the flow of people within a radius of 100 meters with Lux as the center.

Reed, who was three meters away, did not answer to Lux's seemingly self-talking behavior, but just looked at the beautiful picture in front of him with admiration.

"Noahs, Captain Arin has arrived at the park, and is now on his way to where His Highness Lux is, and he is in the direction of you at twelve o'clock."

As Reed admired the scene in front of him, a clear whisper came from the headset, the deep voice of the guard who was responsible for spying on the suspicious people around him, and his words informed Reed that his companion who was going to protect Lux with him was about to arrive, which made him look up and look ahead......

From the corner in front of the path where Lux was walking, a figure suddenly stepped out.

It was a long man in a black suit, he seemed to walk casually on the cobblestone path, but with Reed's eyes, he could see from his every move that he was in a state of vigilance all the time, he was quite strong in addition to his long body, and Reed could vaguely see that the black suit that should have been loose had a faint curve mark because of his strong figure.

He straightened his head with a neat plank, and the two sword eyebrows slanted into his sideburns, revealing a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and his light brown eyes also revealed a different kind of essence, when Reed looked straight up, he suddenly felt that his eyes were pierced by a sharp sword, and a burning sensation spread from his eyes, making him almost exhale in pain, but just when he couldn't control it, the burning pain suddenly disappeared, which made Reed blink his eyes and look away again, but saw that the man was showing him a smile that seemed to be faint, But he looked very hideous - just because he had a scar on his chin, he looked like a centipede, and when he laughed, he naturally gave people an extremely hideous illusion.

This should be the partner he is going to act with next-Reed thought in a trance, originally his first impression of Reed was like an agile cheetah, ready to pounce on the enemy at any time, but the pain that seemed to be just an illusion just now made Reed feel like he was back in the hellish battlefield in a trance, making him intuitively classify Li Yalin into the ranks of 'aliens'.

When Reed was confused and in a trance thinking about a bunch of things that were not there, Lux, who was also looking ahead, also saw the figure that suddenly walked out of the corner in front of the path, the familiar appearance, the familiar scar, and the familiar smile, so that Lux couldn't help but widen his big eyes as if he could speak, and his eyes were full of surprise, and he also whispered in his mouth: "Uncle Scar......" Saying this, the surprise in her eyes turned into a thick joy, and her pretty face also showed a sweet smile, and a pleasant voice came out of her mouth:" Uncle Scar, you're here, they've been waiting for you for a long time. After saying that, Lux muttered to herself, "Father said that he had to wait for Uncle Scar to arrive nearby before he could leave the Klein Hotel to go out to play, isn't this a violation of the restrictions set by his father?" ”

Lux's meaningful behavior made Li Yalin, who came to her in a few steps, show a funny expression (although it looked more hideous to others), he stared at Lux, who had not been seen for a long time, and saw that she was still the same, as if she couldn't smell the faint smell of blood on her body, and the corners of her mouth curled even more.

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, Lux......" Li Yalin still smiled, but his tone was very gentle, and continued, "Welcome to December...... By the way, you don't really need to listen to the restrictions issued by Lord Siegel, after all, my soldiers have already set up a cordon around them. After speaking, Li Yalin raised his eyes to look at Reed, who was standing three meters behind Lux, still in a trance.

"That's why people go out early......"

There was a sweet smile on Lux's pretty face, and when she said this, those big eyes also smiled like two crescents, which was so cute.

"So, let's let someone introduce me." As he spoke, Lux turned to look at Reed, and his white and slender little hand was raised and stretched out to Reed, and said: "This is the guard that my father recently sent to someone, named Reed Noas, according to my father, he was born in the royal guard of the Klein royal family, and is currently the acting captain of the Klein family guard. At the end of the sentence, Lux did not speak in a questioning tone, but in a tone of affirmation.

Lux, who has been protected by Li Yalin for many years (before Reed was sent, Lux's safety was all in charge of Li Yalin's safety) has a certain understanding of Li Yalin's ability, and Li Yalin once showed his ability to the curious Lux, at that time, Li Yalin simply raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist to hit the wall made of steel in the underground training ground of the mansion. According to Li Yalin, this is an ability called 'qigong'.

Naturally, Lux couldn't understand what qigong was, and she didn't need to understand it, because she only needed to know how powerful Li Yalin was.

"I'm Li Yalin, the captain of the Bloody Special Forces, please advise."

After Lux's introduction, Li Yalin walked up to Reed, smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Uh...... Oh, I'm Reed, Reed Noahs, please advise. ”

Reed, who was still in a trance, was not awakened until Li Yalin spoke, he was a little stunned, and he didn't seem to have a taste yet, so Shaoqing introduced himself and stretched out his left hand to shake Li Yalin.

"You...... Is it an Inhuman? ”

Reed reminisced about the feeling just now, and saw that Li Yalin, who was calm at this time, did not see a trace of anger between his eyebrows, but showed a heroic spirit, and was a little suspicious of his judgment, and then Reed remembered that it was not good to ask so directly, so he waved his hand again and again with an embarrassed face, and said embarrassedly: "Uh, I'm sorry, Captain Li, I shouldn't ask this kind of question." After saying that, there was a rare hint of ruddy on his bronzed face, obviously embarrassed to the extreme.

"Hehe......"

Seeing Reed's panicked explanation and apology, Li Yalin couldn't help but chuckle.

His first impression of Reed was not bad, especially when he saw him in a trance, Li Yalin had already thought that Reed might have seen Inhuman, and the hesitant and uncertain inquiry on his face just now made Li Yalin affirm this.

Although there are many Inhumans in the world, they are not something that ordinary people can see, and since Reed has a trance-like look on his face, it is probably because his tentative behavior just now has caused him to remember that he once fought with a certain Inhuman and witnessed the terrifying memory of the Inhuman's powerful power beyond the realm of mortals.

And since Reed was able to survive this showdown, whether by playing dead or otherwise, it was at least a testament to Reed's ability - proof that he was already the best being among mortals.

Li Yalin smiled and waved his hand to signal that Reed didn't have to apologize anymore, and when he saw that Reed had really stabilized his emotions and could face himself, he smiled and said: "I am indeed an alien, but I am not a magician, but a material-inclined alien, you can call it a martial artist." After affirming Reed's speculation and seeing that his face softened, Li Yalin understood that Reed had accepted his kindness, so he said: "Call me Yalin, since you are sent by His Excellency Siegel to protect Lux, then we naturally have to be close and close." After speaking, Li Yalin smiled (very hideous, there is wood) and stretched out his hand to pat Reed's shoulder.

"Your abilities are good, at least you can tell that I'm an alien the moment we meet...... It's not like my bunch of rabbits, who insist on treating me as a human rather than an alien when they see me so powerful. ”

Li Yalin still said with a smile, although he seemed to be scolding his soldiers for not being knowledgeable, Reed could see a flash of warmth in his eyes.

Since it is called an alien, it is naturally not an ordinary person, and even if it is a tuner who is stronger than a natural person, it is just an existence that can be killed casually in front of the alien, and it is precisely because the alien has this power beyond mortals that mortals are forced to call it aliens in order to distinguish them from it. But in fact, Inhumans are not really invincible, and Inhumans will die instantly when they are hit by bullets, let alone face much more powerful ones such as individual missiles, but the premise of killing Inhumans is - you must hit!

Inhumans are just a general term for those beings with powers beyond mortals, and in fact they can be subdivided into many kinds, but I won't go into them here.

Reed can understand why Li Yalin's subordinates insist on treating Li Yalin as a human instead of an alien, because after being treated as an alien, there will be an invisible estrangement between each other, which will undoubtedly be a very emotional thing for the team members who have carried guns together, been on the battlefield together, and fought desperately together.

"Okay."

Reed didn't refuse, it had always been Reed's dream to have a stranger as a friend, not to mention that he couldn't learn the word 'shirk', but he didn't expect this idea to come true here.

"Since everything that should be introduced has been introduced, and everything that should be known has been known, let's set off to the destination chosen by others."

Seeing that Li Yalin and Reed could have a friendly conversation, Lux was naturally very happy, and after seeing that their friendly conversation was over, Lux happily raised his hand and pointed to the inexplicable distance, and gave an order in his mouth...... Then she ignored Li Yalin and Reed, and continued to walk towards the set goal with graceful steps on her own.

When looking at Lux's very happy but still graceful steps, Reed and Li Yalin couldn't help but sigh, then looked at each other and laughed again.

"It would be nice if His Highness Lux could let go of his scruples about the face of the Klein family and live happily......"

After sighing lightly, Li Yalin followed Lux, and Reed was a little stunned when he heard Li Yalin's sigh, he didn't think about these problems as deeply as Li Yalin, and naturally he didn't think about it at this time, so he could only sigh lightly again and set off to follow.
