Chapter 2: The Power of Demacia

The night was dark, it was silent and gloomy, the wind outside howled coldly, and from time to time the rustle of leaves could be heard in the wind, and it was already midnight when suddenly a dark shadow swept past the window. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother, I'm afraid ......"

"Don't be afraid, brother, hide quickly, brothers protect you."

The two elder brothers hid the younger brother in the water tank, and with all the strength they could, lifted a stone slab to cover the water tank, leaving only a narrow gap for breathing.

"You... Who are you, don't come here. ”

A pale-skinned man in a scarlet robe walked in, and two little boys moved backwards with their hands propped up in horror. Eventually, they retreated to a corner, shaking even more, tears and snot filling their nostrils and mouths, unable to shout or scream, breathing heavily and sobbing violently.

The man in the scarlet robe walked up to them, looking down at them coldly, his breathtaking pupils dripping blood. "Blood... I want blood" The man bent down and put his hands on the boys' shoulders, then his fanged head getting closer and closer to them. He hugged them by the neck and bit down on a piece of meat.

"What a wonderful blood..."The rich smell of blood tempted him, hunting and sucking blood was his fateful contract, instinctively opened his lips lightly to reveal two slightly longer fangs, and the pupils were covered with blood and flashed with a seductive light, so that all the prey were willing to fall, so that the vampire kiss fell on the neck of the prey with an absolutely noble and elegant posture, the fangs slowly and accurately pierced into the arteries, he closed his eyes in enjoyment, and his slender eyelashes continued to tremble, revealing a scarlet and ugly face.

"Brother!" The night, so silent. On the big bed, he kept shaking. Their heads kept shaking, but they couldn't shake off the panicked image, and they approached him, and they approached him again. They stretched out their pale hands and surrounded him, and the circle grew smaller and smaller...... "Go away!" The man bounced off the bed in shock, and in response was the ticking of the clock on the wall. I touched my head, only to find that I was already in a cold sweat. "Brother... Are you blaming me?" the man asked himself, his voice trembling.

"Are you awake, Viscero, and have you had a nightmare?"

Vescello slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a man wearing a crown, his bright yellow robe embroidered with the pattern of the dragon in the sea, and his long eyebrows were slightly raised under the white hair and red face.

"Your Majesty, I'm glad I still have to see you alive."

"Of course, I swear in the name of the whole of Debang that you will return to Demacia safe and sound." Gavin II smiled, his black jade-like pupils flashing with a warm brilliance: "Vescello, I thank you in the name of the Shield of Light, thank you for saving your life. You are a very faithful person, and I would like to change your name. I remember, your surname is Zhao, so you might as well call Zhao Xin. Forget the sorrows of the past, now, you are the people of Demacia, and one day, you and I will set foot in Noxus, definitely! ”

"I, Zhao Xin, swear allegiance to the Light Shield family and to Demacia."

Every Saturday afternoon, the palace in Demacia is always crowded with people, because it is the time when King Gavin II receives the commoners, and this contact between the supreme power and the common people always stimulates the people like a carnival. As usual, after a burst of applause and cheers, the crowned Gawain II stepped onto the glittering marble podium of the palace under the escort of the soldiers.

"Brother, is the person standing next to the king Zhao Xin, who has just been canonized as the governor of Debang?"

In the crowd, a beautiful girl with long blond hair blinked her blue eyes and looked at the short-haired young man beside her, her fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red pink. These two men were members of the Demacian Crown, the children of the patriarch General Leo, Lux and his brother Galen.

“... Ha... "Galen's boy yawned nonchalantly and rubbed the tip of his delicate nose: "It should be, I don't know." ”

"He looks like he's not a little older than his brother, which is amazing."

Hearing his sister compliment a stranger, Galen reluctantly pursed his lips and said in a strange manner: "That's right, it's really remarkable that a big man can keep his hair as long as Lux." ”

"Well..... Brother, what did you say? For Galen's sudden ridicule, the naturally stupid Lux was dazed, her blue eyes suddenly flickered, and she shook her pink fist and slammed Galen's shoulder. Fart! ”

The meeting of King Gavin II ended in a little more than an hour. As the gates of the palace slowly closed, the residents who were still unsatisfied dispersed one after another.

"Galen, Lux!"

A clear voice sounded from behind, Galen turned around, a young girl stood in front of him, with short pear blossom hair on her shoulders, revealing a smooth forehead, wearing a light and delicate makeup, her eyebrows were full of sassy and heroic, the corners of her mouth were slightly spread out as if she was smiling, the small black dress on her body outlined her slender waist, the white cotton shirt was tucked into the black professional skirt, and the legs wearing black silk were more slender and symmetrical against the background of the black leather boots.

"Sister Fiona, why are you here?" Before Galen could speak, Lux pounced on him and affectionately put her arms around Fiona's neck, Fiona, a duelist. The daughter of the Demacia Laurent family.

Fiona glanced at the palace with the gate closed, and said with regret: "I have come here to listen to His Majesty's speech, and by the way, to see what the new governor of Debang looks like, is it over?" ”

"Well, Sister Fiona, you're a step too late. His Majesty has returned to the palace. ”

"It's a pity." Fiona nodded, smiled at Lux, and moved her gaze to Galen, "I said Galen, the game will start the day after tomorrow, why are you running out when you're not at home to recharge?" You know, Jiawen has been practicing hard in the palace! ”

The competition that Fiona is talking about is the "Demacia Power Cup", which is held every ten years by Demacia, and the Demacia Power Cup is a competition to select fresh blood for the Demacia army. Thousands of young people from all over Demacia participated in this competition with their ambitions. Originally, the Crown Guard family was not optimistic about Galen, but what they didn't expect was that Galen was invincible all the way to the semifinals. This also allowed the patriarch of the Crownguard family, Galen's father, General Leo, to reacquaint himself with his son, a young Demacian with a great sword.

"My father has been locking me up at home for the past two days, and if I don't come out to breathe, I have to suffocate me." Galen raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders casually: "Besides, just Jiawen's two sons, I'll beat him down in minutes." ”

"Don't brag, who kept nagging me last time, saying that the opponent is Brother Jiawen, someone will be very bottomless?"

"Lux! You don't talk to no one when you're dumb! Luck's merciless piercing made Galen feel very embarrassed, he stared at Luxe with a straight face, full of black lines: "Pull, Gram, Silk, you, should, go back, go, eat, dinner, dinner, it's over." ”

Temple Square, as the most popular scenic spot in Demacia, is the most prosperous core area of the entire city-state, prosperous and prosperous, and world-famous. In the middle of the square, there is a vermilion lacquer ring about two meters high, and there are six tall golden pillars of the dragon on both sides of the ring, and a vigorous golden dragon is coiled on each pillar, looking up at the sky. There is a caisson in the center of the square platform, on which a huge dragon is carved, and from the dragon's mouth hangs down a blue meteorite giant sword.

Dark clouds roll overhead, and people who can't open their eyes when the wind is mixed with dust and sand, this is a day that should be closed. However, hundreds of spectators still gathered in front of the ring in the Temple Square, and there were still people who kept coming, if nothing else, just to catch a glimpse of the eight lucky ones who had gone through more than 30 knockout matches and stood out from thousands of Demacian youths. To say that they are the lucky ones is not an exaggeration at all. You must know that these 8 Demacian youths already have the qualifications to be escorted to the Dreadnought Pioneer Corps. The combat effectiveness of the Dreadnought Pioneer Regiment is one of the best in Demacia and even in the entire Valoran Continent, and no matter how many veterans who have been in the army for more than ten years, they can't squeeze their heads in.

"It's time, please enter!" With the command of a middle-aged officer, 8 sturdy figures climbed into the ring, and the originally noisy crowd was silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the ring.

"In the first game, Jie Shibang played against Fu Yanjie!"

The principal retreated, and the two young men slowly came to the stage, clasping their fists and saluting the audience together, seeing that there was a trace of waves in the audience, "Who are these two people?" "I don't know." "Are His Royal Highness Jiawen and Prince Galen here?" "Here, my cousin works as a long-term worker in General Leo's house, and I heard that the crown guard family is very interested in this competition." "Then you can't care about it, the title of the power of Demacia is the highest honor for a German nobleman."

"Boom!" A gong and drum sounded, "In the first game, Jieshi Bang won." Let's start the second game, Quinn vs. Dures"

The crowd didn't pay much attention to how the first game ended, but as soon as they heard the name "Quinn", they couldn't stop "Quinn!" It's Quinn! "Who is Quinn?" "You don't know it, she's the only woman who has appeared as a contestant in the Power of Demacia since its inception, and she actually made it to the finals, and besides, she's a big beauty."

The enthusiasm of the audience was once high, "Quinn will win!" "Victory!"

"Hehe, this little girl may not be able to win." Fiona stood indifferently in the crowd with her arms crossed.

"Why did the girl say that?"

"Dures, the grandson of Demacia's master of swordsmanship, Okamoto-Dulux, was carefully taught by Okamoto since childhood, and at the age of 13 he once went to sea with his men and killed 27 pirates by himself, and his face did not change."

……

The crowd fell silent for a while, "So what, pirates are a rabble after all, and the character who crossed the entire Shadow Isle and escaped death from Baron Nash when Miss Quinn was a little girl, is Dures better than him?!" ”

"That's right! Those who can escape from Baron Nash are definitely not mortals! ”

Looking at the determined crowd, Fiona just shook her head and smiled, but did not speak. At this time, the competition in the ring has officially begun.
