Chapter 821: Bring it into the little black room
This is not the first time that this uncontrollable situation has occurred.
Back when Lux was a student, she once had a glimmer of light leaking from her fingers because of her distraction in class.
In order not to expose her secrets, she fled from the classroom in a panic.
But now the situation is different, and she is facing hordes of guards and selfless demon seekers in the iron mask, rather than the young and ignorant classmates and amiable teachers in the mountain castle.
Once discovered, it is not as simple as being forcibly suppressed by the family and then ordered to drop out of school.
The staff in her hand seemed to become extremely hot, and just as Lux was at a loss to throw the staff out and run away, a hand suddenly reached out from the darkness behind her and grabbed the staff by her shoulder.
"Keep the things that others give."
There was a warm whisper in her ears, like a sunny big brother talking to her. Lux's eyes widened, and she watched as the staff's light faded under the grip of that arm.
The flash of light from the hiding place still attracted the demon seekers, who approached the stone castle with the badge of the forbidden magic stone, and their eyes under the half-cut copper mask flashed with suspicion.
But when they followed the vanishing light source to the area around the stone castle, they saw nothing unusual.
The Demon Finder looked around, the neighborhood was empty, and there was no place to hide people, except for ...... The domed stone castle in front of you.
But the door of the stone fort was locked from the outside by the guards, and there could be no one inside. Thinking of this, the Demon Seeker left the stone castle to patrol elsewhere, taking only the fleeting light of his armor as the light reflected by his armor.
"Hmm......" Feeling the demon seeker outside the door leaving, Lux made a slight sound to prompt the man behind her to let go of the palm that covered her mouth.
When did this hand cover her mouth? Lux began to think about it......
It all happened so fast that Lux didn't even have time to react.
After the light faded, the man opened the lock out of thin air in a way she didn't understand. After the two entered the small dark room, the lock outside the door was locked again, as if a pair of invisible arms locked them inside.
The palm of his hand quickly released, and Lux exhaled deeply, turning her head to look at the man behind her, only to see a pair of eyes glowing blue.
Lux calmed down her unusually excited mood, and then whispered in the dark stone castle, "Is it Galen?" ”
"It's not." The man replied unequivocally.
This answer scared Lux again, who had just come to peace.
Thinking about it, Lux knew that Galen didn't know magic, and he couldn't suck the magic off his staff, and the person who saved her was definitely not Galen. But...... The feeling he brought to her at that moment just now was too much like a big brother who protected his sister.
And the only thing Lux can think of is her only brother Galen.
In the dark little dark room, Lux was a little overwhelmed. She had just experienced such a dangerous thing, and her mood was like riding a roller coaster, and she was still in a state of panic, so her brain couldn't think clearly about what she should do now.
When she calmed down a little, the first thing she thought about was that she seemed to be locked up in a small dark room, and if the man didn't unlock it, she seemed to be locked up all the time.
She didn't dare to speak out at all now, which would invite the Demon Seeker to check it. If that man had a plot against her, then she wouldn't dare to resist at all! Not to mention subduing the other party with light magic, she may not be able to beat the other party, and once the movement is too big, it will still attract the demon seeker!
Fortunately, the man did not have bad thoughts about her.
In great trepidation, Lux waited until the other man spoke first. It was still that gentle voice, like the afternoon sun shining into her heart.
"Lux, I'm guessing you're curious to know who I am right now. Don't be afraid of me, you can now illuminate this room with your light magic, and then you can see who I am. ”
"Is that okay?" Lux shuddered and let out a sound, her hands clenching her staff tightly to her chest.
"Of course, the stone castle has no windows, so your light won't shine through." And the man said.
When curiosity about the truth overcame fear of the unknown, Lux finally mustered up the courage to conjure up a magic ball of warm light in the palm of her hand. She began to feel a warm sensation in her body, her skin glowing with a familiar rainbow glow.
The ball of light illuminated the room, driving away the last rays of fear and illuminating the faces of those in front of them.
He also smiled comfortably in the warm light of Lux's light.
"I actually saw a colorful light in you."
The blue-eyed man had a teasing smile on his face and let out a laugh that was not unrelenting, as if the two were not meeting for the first time, but brother and sister who had been reunited after a long absence.
"It's you!" Seeing the man's blue eyes that were so transparent that he felt deep into his soul, Lux immediately thought of the man who stood on top of the Colossus's head and looked at him during the day.
"That's right, it's me. To introduce you officially, my name is Jeno Philos and I'm from Piltover. Jeno replied solemnly, adding in passing, "By the way, I know Galio. ”
Ever since teasing Sana and making the rest of the game embarrassing, Jeno decided it would be better to be serious when it came to facing Lux.
"You know Galio too? Is it the kind that has been chatting for days? Lux's eyes seemed to glow, and Jeno's words narrowed the distance between her hearts, making Lux have a strong affection for this stranger.
"Yes, it says you were once held in the palm of your hand like a frightened bird." Jeno replied.
"Ahh Why do you say that kind of thing! Lux's face flushed instantly, and she continued to cast the spell a little too hard, and the ball of light in her hand became white-hot, and began to emit a somewhat hot light like a bath bomb.
"There's nothing to be shy about, it's a normal reaction for a person."
Jeno reached out to block the glare of light, an action that made Lux realize her gaffe, and she turned down the brightness of the ball of light, thanking Jeno apologetically: "Looks like I'm ...... I haven't thanked you for saving my life! ”
"Don't thank me, I don't want you to be hurt by someone else."
"Who?" Lux asked subconsciously, but Jeno didn't answer her, which made her think.
Who could it be...... Gallian? Mother? Or Galio? But no matter what she thinks, she will not put Little Yellow Hair on the list of suspicions.
Without giving Lux much time to think, Jeno crossed his arms and began to interrogate Lux:
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
