Because the sewers are black, the little boy is afraid, so naturally the glowing Lux stays with him, and Kacina goes to call Ize.

When Izawa first heard that he was going to go to the smelly sewers, he resisted it because of his cleanliness fetishness, but after knowing that it was Lux asking for help, he rushed out of the temple with Kahina without even changing his waterproof boots.

After joining up with Lux, Ezreal prepares to help Luxs through the rocks.

But he grabbed one in one hand, and took at most two at a time, and the little boy had to take it, and one of them had to lead the way, or Ezreal would not know where Ogvesa would pick them up.

Lux's strong sense of responsibility keeps her going, and she's more familiar with the road outside than Kashina. Together with Ezreal, she flashed to the exit of the sewers, burrowed into the woods, and successfully handed over the child to Ogwisa before the appointed time.

On the way back, Lux kept thanking Ezreal. The teenager and girl walked into the dense woods, and naturally they talked about some heart-pounding topics.

Ezreal had a cleanliness addiction, and he passed by a clear stream to wash off the foul water stains that stuck to his feet, and he also washed Lux's boots while washing his feet, a gentlemanly act that made the latter feel a lot of favors for him.

When Lux vehemently condemns the person who clogs the sewers, Ezreal guesses that it was Jeno's fault, as Jeno mysteriously smiled at Ize after the meeting and disappeared.

But he still has a bit of a conscience, he didn't betray Jeno, he could only smile embarrassedly, and secretly shouted in his heart that he did a good job!

He thought he could safely return to the temple and have a meal together, but Lux felt that verbal thanks were not enough, so she wanted to invite him to dinner.

But what he didn't expect was that Jeno's devilish plan was much more than that.

When they returned to the stone pile outside the city wall, they heard the sound of the demon seekers talking in the sewers through the stone pile!

Someone deliberately reported it, so that the Demon Hunter Corps discovered this passage connecting the inside and outside of the city, which means that they can't go back the way they came!

It's okay to block the door, but it's a bit too much to report to the Demon Seeker, Ezreal thought to himself, what would this do with the mages who hadn't been transferred from the city yet?

However, Jeno has his own considerations, if the prince's plan succeeds in a few days, then do the mages still need to sneak down the sewers? No, when that time comes, just walk through the city gate openly.

But now, it's definitely not okay to go through the city gates. Because the ban on demons is enforced, there are demon seekers at the city gate who check everywhere with the Forbidden Demon Stone badge, even the nobles are no exception.

There was no way, the boy and the girl could only wait, and when it was dark and there was no one on the street, they would find another city wall and flash it directly and return to the city.

Wait from dawn until dark, and then until midnight.

During the long wait, the two of them talked a lot about their cultures and experiences, which helped each other get to know each other better.

Ezreal's various books were not in vain, covering all kinds of fields, which made Lux stunned.

And when he blows about his adventures, the stinky problem of being speechless in front of the goddess suddenly disappears! The skillful bragging technique tells the story to the sky, and Lux seems to have experienced every adventure of the narrator as if she was there, so that she who has been yearning for a wonderful life has completely fallen into it.

The night is getting darker and darker, and although the towering walls can block the cold wind that blows at night, they can't stop the pervasive cold.

The cooler and cooler temperatures forced them to snuggle up and warm themselves by the light in Lux's hands. The light reflected each other's young faces, and neither could escape from each other's gaze, and blushing and heartbeat had become the norm.

It was really a very atmospheric thing to tell those strange stories in the faint warm light, and soon a hazy emotional bond was established between the two.

Moments of joy are short-lived, and when the clock strikes midnight, the boys and girls know that the time of separation has come.

Lux hadn't heard enough of Ezreal's story, but no matter how good it sounded, she would have to listen to it tomorrow. She knew that if she didn't come home again, something would really happen, and she could imagine Galen's stinky face when she went home.

It's okay once or twice, but if she doesn't go home every night, then her brother can't spare her first.

"I'm leaving."

Brought back to the city by Ezreal with an arcane jump, Lux immediately pulled her hand away from Ezreal's hand. Although she didn't hate it, she didn't want the other person to feel like a random person.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Ezreal asked shyly.

"No, I can go back myself." Lux shook her head. "I'm glad you've told me so much, Ezreal, we'll see you tomorrow!"

It took a great deal of effort for Lux to convince Galen not to stop him from transferring the innocent mages. But even so, Galen himself was still disgusted with mages, and he didn't want to see his sister get too close to the mages, because he was afraid that his sister would be implicated by these mages.

"See you tomorrow." Ezreal chose to follow the other man's wishes.

He stood there and watched humbly as Lux ran away, and when Lux's back disappeared around the corner, his whole body suddenly became excited, raising his fists and repeating some very earthy dance moves.

"Wuhu~~ take off——"

Ezreal jumped back into the temple, and behind him, Jeno crept out of the shadows, resisting the urge to laugh at him, looking at him with the caring eyes of a big brother, and then quietly retreating into the shadows, hiding his merit and fame.

……

Two days later, the Trial of Silas by the Council of Solid Shield is about to begin.

Zhao Xin changed into a brand-new cloak and walked along the cloister of the palace with his head held high.

The solemnity on his face was the calm before the storm, and the servants consciously backed down when they saw him, and walked in a terrible silence. The guards standing guard solemnly saluted him, and Zhao Xin nodded in response, but this time he did not smile.

He walked through a hall of flags and banners, and stopped under one of the flags—Demacia's white-winged sword embroidered on a blue background.

This is a flag sewn by the Queen Mother, which fell in the Battle of Yanjian Mountain, but King Jiawen personally drove the expedition and led the charge in order to recapture this flag, and Zhao Xin was by his side at that time. They broke through hundreds of fur-armoured Freljord berserkers before they regained the flag, and Zhao Xin became the one to carry the banner - even if the tongue of fire licked off its borders, the flag still fluttered in the wind.

Zhao Xin then passed through a small room. It is a secluded library located in a secluded corner of the royal palace. Zhao Xin had spent many long evenings with the king, drinking strong honey wine, discussing strategic and political considerations, and reminiscing about the long gone youth.

A burst of pain ran over Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin realized that he would never hear the laughter of his old friend again.

Memories of the old king were kept everywhere in the palace, but there was no time for Zhao Xin to remember. Zhao Xin must find Prince Jiawen before the meeting begins, and urge him to change his clothes and adjust his mentality to face those advisers.

A scheming advisor with a ghostly heart.
