Section 16 Reveal the secret itinerary and get on the thief ship
"I'm sorry, Lord Galen, but by order you can't go in again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
At the gate of the royal manor outside the city, the soldiers stationed here said apologetically to Galen.
Although most of the mid- and lower-ranking officers of the Royal Guard knew Galen for various reasons, it was not enough to ignore military discipline just for the captain of the Dreadnought Vanguard Regiment—they were not given orders to allow Lux's relatives to enter the estate.
"Okay." As a mid-level officer in the best regiment of Germany, Galen was very aware of the seriousness of military discipline, and with a slight worry about the little girl who was about to leave for the distance, Galen told him for the twelfth time: "Be sure to pay attention to safety, remember to plan before acting, and be vigilant when resting......"
"An-la! Eldest brother. I will be as proud of the crown guard family as you are! Goodbye ~ nagging brother! Hee-hee"
The excitement of embarking on an unknown journey made Lux not want to listen to his brother's nagging for a while, and after stepping into the manor in three or two steps, he turned to say goodbye to Galen, and then made a mischievous grimace at the old brother with a sneering expression, and followed the soldiers who led the way to the manor, leaving only a back to wave goodbye to Galen.
"Well, I'm just, just a little uncomfortable, and the little one in the family has grown up. Well, I'm going to have to work harder. ”
Galen saw the strange eyes of the two soldiers standing at the door, and couldn't help but explain embarrassedly, then shrugged his shoulders and got back on his horse and rode in the direction of Demacia City, it seems that he has to end his vacation early, maybe the worst of times is coming, uh, from the perspective of warriors, maybe the best of times......
"That's... Hello Lux, we meet again. ”
At the entrance of the manor's living room, as soon as Lux walked in, the figure on the sofa who pretended to be calm immediately bounced, and the familiar greeting sounded in his ears.
"Ezreal-senpai?! What a coincidence, it turns out that the guide from Piltover is a senior, ah, that's great. ”
Hmm, what does that mean? Ezreal originally looked at the beauty in front of him dressed as a female battle mage and already felt dazzling, and when he heard Lux's words, he immediately blushed, and some couldn't answer, but replied unconsciously: "Ah... This... Be... Yes. ”
"Ahem! Miss Lux, and Mr. Ezreal, we don't have a lot of time. Or should we discuss the next trip as soon as possible......"
Captain Nietzsche, the royal guard who had been ignored in the living room, reminded the two of them.
So everyone had lunch simply and quickly, used the reception room to temporarily transform into a command post, gathered around the side wall with a map of mainland transportation, and began to make plans.
"Miss Lux, you will be the Supreme Commander of this trip, and my team and I will be primarily responsible for your safety throughout the journey, and we will not influence any of your decisions during the rest of the day, except for some advice that we wish to give you as a reference when setting up camp. And Mr. Ezreal..."
"Yes, I'm here."
"I need you to use your rich knowledge of wilderness exploration to provide advice on the route chosen by Miss Lux as a reference."
"Yes, no problem."
In the morning, Ezreal saw that a whole corps of royal guards had entered the manor, not some so-called 'caravan of the Luxes', and he no longer reported any luck. Perhaps the only way to get out was to safely lead Lux and his party to Piltover as soon as possible, but the moment Lux fingered the map, Ezreal knew that his second luck didn't need to be reported.
Lux discussed in detail with Ezreal how to stealthily reach the Mogro Pass at the foot of the Titan Peak, then safely pass through the Shurima Desert, cross the Voodoo Lands and the dangerous border of the Kumangu Forest, cross the Sable Rock Mountains into the Yodel City in the Radnip Valley, and then sail from here to escape the pirates' raids and take their old nest of Bilgewater, and then sail again to reach Ionia by boat after a little repair, bypassing the waters controlled by Noxus. After a little bit of wind again, I finally headed to my destination, Piltover.
Knowing that he was completely on the thief ship, Ezreal had mixed feelings in his heart, and about that little wish in his heart was discovered by the god of magic, and manifested a miracle to make it come true--I once hoped that the road to Picheng would be a little longer, God, but I didn't make a wish to go by sea! After this journey, I guess I will be able to hide in the academy and write memoirs......
"Well, that's the rough plan. Ezreal-sensal, you're fine, right? ”
After all, she was still too young, and Lux was a little embarrassed to ask this question, but she was forced to hide the purpose of the action so much. At present, only the king III, the prince IV, the governor Zhao Xin, his brother Galen, and himself know the details of all the plans, and no one in the rest of the team, including the whole team, knows the true purpose of this trip.
Seeing the faint apologies in Lux's expression, Ezreal couldn't just say the complaint in his heart, so he could only reply weakly: "No problem...... It's just that this arrangement is very time-consuming, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least 6-8 months, so is it okay? ”
"Timely... We'll only have less than 10 months until next spring at most, and we'll have to count the time we need to get back to Ciudad de Macia. So I hope it will be as short as possible, and I think that's probably why I asked Ezreal-senpai to be the team guide, right? I've heard that the senior already has the official reputation of 'explorer'? ”
Yes, it's just that there are a few words ahead of the explorer - the north of the magnificent barrier...... (crying) The wild land in the south, is that a place where normal people can go?
The pre-departure preparation meeting did not end until just before dinner, and Ezreal gave some advice to the whole team at the end of the meeting, and everyone checked the equipment and horses again after dinner to make one last preparation for the next day's trip.
……
In the palace of Demacia, the dim sky could not hide the brilliance of the dance party going on in the hall, and the countless arm-thick court ash emitted bright fires, so that the people in the hall could be as free as day. There was a noble ball wishing the Demacian envoys a success, and the king, after giving a speech to the ambassador about the good vision, handed over the meeting to the young people very tacitly.
The old guys came to the lounge on the second floor of the hall to slowly taste fine wine and food, and whispered about the latest current affairs or books.
The young gentlemen and ladies in the hall exchanged polite whispers, or walked through them with wine glasses in hand, or a few handsome officers gathered around the columns let out bursts of hearty laughter, intentionally or unintentionally, attracting the evasive glances of the ladies whispering not far away.
In the midst of the staggering, a graceful figure seemed to be quiet nearby, but the owner of this slender figure was calm and calm, as if he was not aware of the abnormalities around him. There is only one person in Demacia who can make such a situation happen around him right now - Fiona, the 'Peerless Sword Queen'.
