Chapter 520: Legend (Extra)
Lux knew everyone, but rolled her eyes helplessly at the thought of having to sit at the same table with them tonight and listen to their legends.

Yes, they were all heroes of Demacia, and they were very respectable, but it gave Lux a headache to hear ten times from Sebato about how she had climbed into the gult of an abyssal maggot, or Valya how she had killed a grimmauld with a broken oar.
Galen joined her along the way back to Fosbyro. They searched around the town for the district judge's son and any signs of evil deeds, but they found nothing, and finally had to return to the town when it was getting late. But it's not surprising that nothing has been found, and anyone with bad intentions has plenty of time to hide, because Galen and the Dreadnought Vanguard are too much to move. Five heavily armored warriors cannot be called covert operations. And, because she couldn't use magic, Lux never sensed the source of the dark power at the crossroads.
"Are you really here to worship your great-grandfather Foss Ian?"
"I said so, didn't I?"
"Yes," Galen replied. "You said that. I was just a little surprised. I seem to remember my mother saying that you were reluctant the last time you came. ”
"I was even more surprised that she remembered."
"Oh, of course she remembers." Galen said, looking ahead. "As long as little Laxana is not happy, the sky is gray, the rain is continuous, and the birds and beasts are scattered."
"You're talking about me like a vexatious bad boy."
"Aren't you," Galen smiled kindly, but could barely hide the sarcasm in his words. "If you do the same thing, you will have someone to protect you, and I will have to be beaten. Mom always told me not to care about what you do. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. ”
The conversation between the two hung on their lips, and Lux turned her head to look to the side, remembering that she shouldn't underestimate her brother. People only know him for his honesty and straightforwardness, and know a little about tactics, but few people know about his carefulness and cunning.
And Lux knew that underestimating Galen was a fatal mistake. Indeed, Galen was a simple and straightforward warrior. But simplicity and directness are not the same as dullness.
"What do you think of that kid," Lux asked.
Galen scratched his head.
"If I had to guess, I think he ran away," he said. "Or maybe he decided to go to the forest and play an adventure game and got lost."
"Don't you think it was the dark magicians who took him captive?"
"Of course it's a possibility, but Valya and Rodion had been here six months ago, and they hadn't found any signs of unnatural magical energy at the time."
Lux nodded and asked, "Did you spend the night in Fosbayro?"
"No," Galen replied as the town came into their sight. "Why do you ask?"
"Just curious."
"There's movement over there," Sebato said suddenly, holding out the pergola with his hands to block out the afterglow of the setting sun.
Galen immediately looked in the direction that Sebato was pointing, and the ease on his face disappeared in an instant. His whole physical state changed. His muscles are tense, his eyes are fixed, and he is ready to act. The warriors of the dreadnought vanguard lined up around him, like arrows on the bow.
"What's the matter," said Lux.
A group of angry residents were staggering down the street with a man into the square. She couldn't hear what people were shouting, but she could clearly feel the anger and fear.
"Pioneer Ride." Galen said as he kicked the spurs back.
Starfire is also a fast horse, but he still can't match the grain-fed Demacian warhorse. By the time Lux entered the city gates, the shouts of people echoed throughout the town. Starfire's side was already wet with sweat, and the horse's paw sparked on the gravel pavement. Lux reined in her horse and walked into the crowded square. She jumped off her horse, and the scene before her was not uncommon in Demacia.
"No, no, no," she whispered, as two guards dragged a weeping man to the auction table that had been used to buy and sell livestock. The man's clothes were soaked in blood, and he kept wailing. A woman stood before him, dressed in a shearling robe, and wearing the bronze winged insignia of the magistrate of Demacia, who was supposed to be Judge Giselle. Hundreds of Fosbyro residents poured into the square, shouting and shouting at the man. Their intense resentment was palpable, and Lux felt that her magic had overflowed her body. Suppressing the surging brilliance, she pushed her way through the crowd and approached to see Galen standing under the steps of the auction table.
"Ordojan," Judge Giselle said in an agitated, hoarse voice. "I charge you of murder and conspiracy with the Dark Mage"
"No," the man shouted. "You don't understand that they are all monsters, I see them, their true colors are dark, only darkness"
"Confession," Giselle shouted.
The crowd shouted along, and the desire for revenge poured out of a pair of mouthpieces. They are on the verge of breaking out, and at any moment they may rush to the high platform and tear Aldoyan into five horses. At the moment, he hasn't made a move, maybe it's just because of the four fearless vanguard warriors in front of him.
"What the hell is going on," Lux asked as he walked over to Galen.
Galen didn't look at her, but at the kneeling man.
He killed his sleeping wife and children, and then ran out into the street and attacked his neighbors. He hacked three people to death with an axe before he was subdued. ”
"Why is he like this"
Galen finally turned his head to look at her. "You think there must be a mage around here. There are dark forces at work. It is only under the evil influence of a mage that a loyal resident of Demacia would commit such a heinous crime. ”
Swallowing her angry retort, Lux pushed Galen onto the platform and walked over to the kneeling man.
"What are you doing, Miss Crown," Giselle said in a commanding tone.
Ignoring her questioning, Lux cupped the man's face. His face was covered in bruises, and one eye was swollen from being beaten with a blunt object, and he couldn't open it. There was blood and snot in his nose, and there were several bloody cuts on his chapped lips.
"Look at me." She said the man was trying to see her with his remaining good eye. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his eyelids were black, and he seemed to have not slept for days.
Lux asked him, "Good man Dayan, tell me why you killed your own family and why you attacked your neighborhood"
"They are not. No. I see. It's not them, they're monsters," the man began to cry. "The darkness in human skins has been hiding among us, and I woke up and saw their true colors, so I killed them, I must. I've got to kill."
She looked up and saw Judge Giselle standing beside her. Lux saw soul-wrenching sadness in the woman's face. The last two days have made her feel like she has aged ten years. The judge looked down at Aldoyan with hatred on his face, his hands clenched into fists.
