Chapter 9: The Night

Dawn, dawn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the revival of Nassou Town, the unique mist of the seaside has not yet faded, and all kinds of people have not yet begun to hustle and bustle for a day.

On the highest mountain near the town of Nassau, Ruiz carried the cylinder full of runes, held the quaint book in his hand, and looked at the rising sun, and in the distance, the faintly visible imperial city of Demacia, the city-state covered with a faint golden light, so sacred.

Watching the first rays of sunlight pierce the darkness and illuminate the land of Demacia, watching the night being driven away by the light and sprinkled on his resolute face, Ruiz's eyes at this time, facing the rising sun, were extremely firm.

"Dawn is just around the corner, it seems, it's time to go to you."

Ruiz, dressed in a black cloak, stood in the light of the rising sun, black and white, so distinct.

It's like a touch of night in the light.

The western border of Demacia, the town of Nassau, the home of Galen.

After a night's sleep, Lux woke up alive again, just as Mistress Reze had said.

"What! Yesterday you met Master Mage! ā€

Listening to Galen and Charles talk about what happened after she passed out last night, Lux shouted in surprise, and then, she blushed a little again, and said shyly, "Master Mage, you still praise me for my talent?" Well, I'm sure I'm a genius at magic. ā€

Charles came from his nest early in the morning, and while nibbling on the dry bread in his hand and drinking the milk, he said unhappily: "You two have been praised by Lord Reze, so what should I do, if Mistress Reze is only willing to accept you two, won't I want to stay here alone?" Alas, it's all my fault for being so useless. ā€

Galen snatched the milk from Charles' hand, took a big sip, wiped his mouth with his strong hand, and said, "Don't be discouraged Charles, didn't Lord Ryze let us wait for him here yesterday?" Don't worry, didn't you say that when you showed Lord Ryze, he praised you for being smart? ā€

Charles's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Yes, I'm so smart, and I can read maps, I can tell directions, and I have learned cooking from foreign chefs, and gardening from master gardeners......"

After all, he said that he could read maps and distinguish directions because he had followed a merchant ship out to sea and seen charts and compasses, and of course, if he had not been forced to be sent back because he had fallen into the sea and almost been swallowed by a shark, he would have become a navigator.

He said that he learned to cook because Charles had been working with a cook on a merchant ship for a few days, and if it weren't for the fact that the cook was an ogre, Charles might have been able to return to Nassau and open a small restaurant, provided that he didn't become a pot of soup in the ogre's saucepot, of course.

Saying that I learned gardening, aha, that's more interesting. It was a dangerous one, as Charles led a master herbalist who had come to Nassau in search of a precious herb, and of course, if it weren't for his gluttony and almost poisoning him by eating a brightly colored mushroom and falling off a cliff, he would probably have become an excellent herbalist.

There are many similar examples, in short, Charles has already done many things that ordinary people would not dare to think of at a young age.

Yes, this is Charles, a person who seems to be weak, but has been through so much, how to say, yes, after the adventure of life and death, Charles is such a person, an adventurous person, but also very capable of causing trouble.

"Alright Charles, don't be so discouraged." Galen touched Charles's blonde hair, looked at this good friend who grew up together, and said, "I know your abilities best, and when Master Ryze comes, I will definitely beg him to bring you with me." ā€

Charles took a bite of the bread fiercely, snatched back the milk from Galen's hand, followed the example of those drunkards in the tavern, raised his head and poured a big sip, swallowed the mixture of milk and bread in his mouth, Charles sniffled, burped and said, "Thank you Galen, eh, by the way, can you take out the crystal that Master Ryze gave you and show me, I haven't seen what the crystal looks like when I'm so old." ā€

Galen smiled, took out the blue crystal that Ruiz gave him from his arms, handed it to Charles, and said, "No, I really don't know how Lord Ruiz can know where we are from this crystal, is this the power of magic?" ā€

Charles looked at the shiny crystal in Galen's hand, wiped his hands on his linen clothes, and was about to take it, when his little white hand grabbed the blue crystal in front of him.

Charles raised his hands in a daze, stared at those hands in a daze, and looked at the blue crystal in those hands in a daze.

Those hands were Lux's hands.

"It's so beautiful!"

Lux on the side saw the blue crystal in Galen's hand, her eyes lit up, and she snatched the blue crystal and put it in front of her eyes, eager to eat it.

Charles's hand was awkwardly stretched in the air, looking at Lux's appearance, and muttered, "Those crew members are right, women have no immunity to such shiny things, and it's true, look at the way she looks." ā€

Galen looked at his sister and scratched his head helplessly, he really had nothing to do about his sister.

Lux walked to the window with the blue crystal and held it up to the window, and the light from the window penetrated into the crystal, refracting a dazzling light.

The whole piece of blue crystal became crystal clear under the light, and if you look closely, there is not a single flaw or impurity.

"It's so pretty, it's so beautiful." The more Lux looked at it, the more she liked it, and she couldn't help but jump, but then, a strange and somewhat familiar feeling on the sapphire crystal passed through her fingers and reached her heart.

Lux suddenly felt those little bits of light in her body, and began to resonate with that inexplicable feeling.

At this moment, Lux was in a trance, and through the small piece of blue crystal, through the small window, she seemed to see a sea of light.

Looking at the stunned Lux, Charles didn't dare to go up and snatch the blue crystal back from her hand, he could only look at the blue crystal in Lux's hand from a distance, and said silently: "It's really beautiful, it's as clean as the sea, I don't know how much it can be sold for money." ā€

At that moment, the sapphire crystal in Lux's hand flashed without warning, and he almost threw it to the ground. At the same time, there was a deep knock on the door.

"It's Mistress Ryze."

Galen exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly got up to open the door, and in his panic, his huge body shook the table in front of him, shaking the large glass of milk.

The dilapidated door was suddenly pulled open by Galen, and although the light outside the door was not strong, it was still a little bright for this small room that was a little dim.

Galen narrowed his eyes slightly, and this little bright light stung his eyes slightly.

Galen's eyes, bathed in that light, were a man in a black cloak, like a piece of night that tore through the light and broke in.

Standing outside the door was none other than Ruiz, who was shrouded in a black cloak.
