Chapter 820: See Lux at Night
In the dead of night, when the time came for all the residents of Xiongdu to sleep, Jeno put on his coat and quietly left the Bouvier family's mansion.
The reason why he refused Ogvesa and Sauna's invitation to celebrate was also because he had something to do at this time and didn't want to delay the celebration.
Jeno walked alone to an ornate stone castle and set his sights on the grand square not far away.
The square is surrounded by columns, and the steps rise like waves.
Since Jeno left, Galio has remained motionless in the square, staring at the stone statue in the center.
Jeno saw that there were more guards in the square than usual, and that the half-masked Demon Seekers were wandering among the columns. Rather than guarding the square, they were keeping an eye on the Colossus.
The Colossus moves, it's already a well-known thing. But with the exception of Jeno, the Colossus was not a bird, which made it difficult for the military to deal with it.
There's no guarantee when it will move again? What do you do when you move? Because the palace is not far away, the military sent many guards to monitor the movement of the colossus day and night.
In the final analysis, the military is on guard against the Colossus, and even more so against Jeno who may give dangerous orders to it.
Seeing that the guards were heavily guarded, Jeno swaggered over and talked to Galio, it was really a problem with his brain. Don't say anything, we're just chatting normally, do you think the demon seeker will believe your nonsense?
But it doesn't matter if he can't speak, Jeno wasn't here to talk to Galio in the first place, and he doesn't have any orders to give him right now.
Like a firelight attracts a moth, Jeno came to the Grand Square because he knew that Lux would definitely be drawn to Galio.
Galio is like a beacon on the sea, guiding Lux in her direction as she gets lost.
It means a lot to her.
With a definite thought in mind, Jeno waited in the shadow of the stone castle, looking at the Colossus from afar.
The clock for the timekeeper stopped ringing after midnight, and I don't know how long it was, when the silent Colossus suddenly shuddered as Jeno yawned boredly.
The trembling soon stopped, but it caused a commotion among the guards, and the Demon Seekers came up to inspect the Colossus, and everyone speculated about what had just happened. It was the reason for the trembling of the Colossus.
Jeno in the shadows stood up and stretched calmly.
He knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived, and only the arrival of Lux could make Galio tremble with excitement.
Jeno began to wander through the alleys that circled the square. Since Galio had said that it could feel the light magic emanating from Lux's body within a kilometer, Jeno concluded that Lux was under a nearby flower garden or tree.
Within a one-kilometer radius, a large part of the middle is watched by patrolling guards, leaving a small area to hide. It didn't take long for Jeno to find Lux in no time.
……
Taking advantage of the darkness of night, Lux crept into the shadow of a stone castle.
There was a grand square ahead, but Lux didn't dare to come any closer.
Her best friend, Galio, was in the center of the square, surrounded by many guards and the Demon Seeker she feared.
A demon seeker walked past her hideout, his footsteps sounding like the notes of death.
At this moment, she felt that as long as she put her foot out of the shadow under her feet, she would be immediately discovered by these demon hunters, and after a period of interrogation, she would be criticized and repatriated, and once again disgrace the family.
Before Lux could make a move, the Colossus suddenly trembled, startling the guards and preparing to flee in all directions, making Lux almost discovered.
Fortunately, in order to cover the traces of Lux, the Colossus immediately stopped again, and the guards also stopped moving away from the Colossus, and began to analyze the reason suspiciously.
I was almost found by the soldiers who had escaped! Lux clutched her heart, which was about to leap out of her chest, and heard only herself gasping violently.
She was in a very excited mood now, and the magic on her body was so powerful that it could barely be concealed, like a beam of light in the darkness, which the demon seeker would immediately notice as soon as he came.
Since the last book theft, Tiana has given her an ultimatum that she will no longer cover up her mistakes. If she was found out again this time, she didn't know how to explain to Tiana, and I'm afraid even Galen wouldn't be able to protect her.
At that time, she might be brought before the council, and Galen would watch her good brother Gallvin III personally order the punishment of his own sister, which would be difficult for anyone to do.
After a series of deep breaths, Lux finally calmed down. In fact, it's not the first time she has done something like stealing chickens and dogs, and she will naturally become more bold when she does more.
She couldn't help but sigh that Xiongdu is really a colorful big dye vat, a good girl who usually abides by discipline and doesn't even dare to skip class, and less than half a year after coming to Xiongdu, she has degenerated into a bold accomplice who is undisciplined and makes mistakes again and again.
As the daughter of the crown guard family, how can she do such a crazy thing? Lux condemned herself in her heart, but as soon as she looked up and saw Galio, her old thoughts came back to her mind - she just wanted to ask Galio what had happened.
"Now that we're here, let's finish things before leaving. Just say a few words and you'll be fine. ”
With so many guards out of the way, there was no way to get close to Galio, so Lux took out her double-ended staff, planning to use magic to draw the guards aside, and then took the opportunity to go over and talk to Galio herself.
This two-headed staff made of forbidden magic stones was given to Lux by a female mage out of gratitude when she helped her transfer the mages in the city.
She will first charge the staff, then place the staff somewhere in her field of vision, using a beam of light to activate the magic in the staff.
I have to say that her plan is very poor, it is simply a prototype that she came up with with a pat on the head, and she did it hastily without any polishing.
First of all, there are so many guards that it is impossible to come out of the nest with the slightest sign of magic. Moreover, she didn't think about how she would escape after the revelation.
She began to cast a spell, infusing the staff with magic, and soon the staff began to glow coldly. As she gradually infused her with magic, the staff's glow grew stronger and stronger, transforming from a glow stick to a dazzling tube that dispelled the darkness around her.
Lux was frightened by her own light, which was completely different from what she had envisioned. According to her thoughts, the magical staff should only glow after she activates it, instead of glowing directly like it does now.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she didn't know how to use the staff she had just gotten, but now the light had broken out of the shadows and completely exposed her location!
Lux was terrified, and at this moment, she only thought about how to extinguish her own light!
