But the moment he saw Lu Qi, his eyes regained their brightness, and he opened his mouth, which was dehydrated and parched, as if to say something.

"It's all your fault!!"

In the next second, the mage man suddenly became irritable for no reason, his eyes were full of anger, and he roared and wanted to pounce on Luqi.

The body slammed into the iron cage with a loud noise.

"What's wrong with me! What's wrong with me!! ”

He roared like crazy, and his crazy appearance frightened many people around him.

Lux, who was hiding behind Lu Qi, her body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously grabbed Lu Qi's sleeve.

Fiona frowned slightly, but sighed inwardly.

"Settle down!"

"Shut up!"

Behind the car, the two forbidden demon envoys reacted, and they pulled the chains in their hands in an angry scolding, and the mage man's whole body was pulled to the side.

At the same time, with a "snap", the whip in the hand of a forbidden demon envoy fell.

A few more hits in quick succession.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Ahh The mage man screamed miserably, lying weakly in the iron cage, and the cloth clothes on his body continued to overflow bright red blood.

Soon, he didn't even have the strength to scream.

Lux closed her eyes in reluctance.

At this time, the two knights who had finished saluting with Lu Qi had already turned over and continued to escort the prisoner away.

"What's wrong with me"

And in the iron cage, the mage man with no eyes in his eyes muttered in a very low voice, repeating this sentence constantly.

"Let's go."

Eyes retracted from the mage man, and Luki prepared to leave.

He took the lead in leaving, and Lux's hand was still holding his sleeve, and he hurriedly followed.

The trio left the street.

But they also became a lot more silent, and it was clear that what they had just seen had had some effect on them.

A strong sense of powerlessness welled up in Lux's heart, and the man's desperate eyes pulled her into the abyss like a chain.

She could only watch, but she couldn't do anything.

You may even feel scared that one day you will wake up from your dream and have shackles on your hands and feet.

Fiona's silence was due to the fact that she couldn't put herself in her shoes.

Similar things happen in Demacia non-stop, and today it seems that it is not as simple as right or wrong.

And in this great era, she is just a caged bird.

As for Lucky, he thinks a little more.

For he is a prophet and has foresight of what is to come.

It seemed to be the first time he had seen Demacia and the mage face to face.

Recently, I've been living a leisurely life, and I've almost forgotten what kind of environment my time is.

Is there anything wrong with that mage man?

Maybe in the first half of his life, he was also a normal ordinary person, marrying a wife and having children, but because of the uncontrollable magic of unknowing, he burned down his house.

In that fire, his life was also burned down.

As a matter of course, if the forbidden envoy discovers it, there may be no future.

Where did his fault come from?

The fault is that he is a mage, and this is Demacia.

From ancient times to the present, between Demacia and the mage, water does not tolerate fire.

Demacia was originally established as a sanctuary to protect people from magical energy.

However, at that time, the magic disaster was not only the mage, but in the later years, humans gradually became the most obvious carrier of magical energy, and there is this stark antagonistic relationship today.

Times have changed, and so much time has passed, and what was once a sanctuary has become a powerful empire.

The word forbidden demon has also been deeply rooted.

And Lu Qi also had to face a problem at this time.

Today's life is what he has always wanted, eat and drink without worry, and do whatever he wants.

But if he wants this to go on forever, then he has to become a butterfly and flap his wings hard.

That's for sure.

Glancing back at Lux, she looked preoccupied, and the little hand was still on her body.

Lu Qi couldn't help but smile: "Are you so daring?" I haven't even seen this scene. ”

Hearing this, Lux looked up and found that her hand was still unconsciously tugging at Lucci's clothes, and hurriedly took it off.

Then he raised his head and snorted: "Who is timid? I'm so bold that I don't know the bounds, okay! ”

yes, you're going to even dare to go to a place like a dungeon in the future.

Muttering in his heart, Lu Qi asked, "Is there any creature you are afraid of?" ”

Lux, who had just finished bragging, heard this question at this time, and naturally said stiffly: "Afraid? I never knew how to write two words of fear! ”

So Lu Qi's gaze moved down two points, landed on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then I can rest assured, there is a spider crawling up your neck now." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Miss Crownguard hadn't even lowered her head, her pupils shrank, and her face, which had been rosy a second ago, turned white in an instant.

When a person is frightened, there are generally two reactions.

One is, screaming loudly.

The other is that you can't even make a sound.

Obviously, Lux is the second.

"Help. I. ”

Lux's lips trembled, and she looked at Luqi with a pitiful look in her eyes.

Not only did she not dare to bow her head, but now she didn't even dare to move, for fear that the spider would jump on her face.

"I teased you, I thought you wouldn't be afraid."

Luci finished in a very innocent tone.

Lux froze straight in place.

Only then did she dare to look over her shoulder, and found that there was nothing at all, and then when she looked up, she saw the underbeaten face with a smiling face.

She gritted her silver teeth, and a colossal anger instantly rose in her heart!

"I fought !! with you"

Miss Crowned Guard shouted, it can be said that she didn't care about her image at all, and she was ready to commit murder on the street.

Running directly after Lu Qi all over the street.

Fiona looked at it with a smile, in her opinion, this guy Luqi really undertook a beating, after all, how could anyone make such a joke with a girl.

It can be seen that Lux is really angry this time.

In order to dispel her anger, Luqi not only took a few punches, but also promised her to take care of ice cream for a week, and let her taste the sugar gourd first.

This made Miss Crownback reluctantly breathe.

Walking on the street at this time, Lux proudly said: "I'm not afraid of spiders who don't spiders." ”

Lu Qi asked, "Have you ever heard a story?" ”

Lux was a little curious: "What's the story?" ”

"This is what I occasionally talked about when I was still in the palace and listened to the patrolling guards."

Luki pondered for a moment and lowered his tone a little, "The name of the story is, the red-spotted spider of the dungeon. ”

Just hearing the name gave Lux goosebumps.

Fiona also cast her gaze.

"The guard was on duty in the dungeon. There was only a little light in the dark hallway, and it was no different from usual, and as he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling from the ceiling behind him. ”

At first, he didn't care, but the sound was getting louder and louder, so he turned his head and looked at the ceiling, and suddenly! The sound was gone, and then."

Luci spoke little by little in a ghostly tone.

Seeing the blonde girl next to her, she had already begun to get nervous when she heard the end.

So he raised his tone a little and said, "And then he didn't see anything." ”

Hearing this, Lux just breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard Lu Qi suddenly speed up his speech: "However, as soon as he turned around, he saw a palm-sized red-spotted spider pounce directly towards his front door!" ”

Hiss~!

Lux, who hadn't recovered from her last breath, gasped again, almost suffocating herself.

When that image appeared in her mind, she suddenly felt that she would die anyway.

"The red-spotted spider, the size of a palm, covered in fine hair, is everywhere"

"Don't, don't say it."

Lux stopped Luqi who was about to continue, and just thinking about it now gave her a chill in her heart.

She silently swore in her heart that she would never step into the dungeon in the future, no matter what.

"Is that all?"

Fiona didn't even have any expression after hearing this.

Maybe it's because she's not afraid of spiders.

Lu Qi asked, "What kind of creature is Miss Jian Ji afraid of?" ”

"There's nothing particularly scary." Fiona thought for a moment and replied, "But there's a nasty one called the long-faced bat. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi said: "That's simple, you try to replace the red-spotted spider in the story with a long-faced bat." ”

Why don't you share the story here?

Gave Lu Qi a blank look.

Fiona thought about it, and after replacing the red-spotted spider with the long-faced bat she hated, she did feel a chill.

After all, no one wants to walk and suddenly face to face with a creature they hate or fear.

Lu Qi glanced at Lux, who was in a trance, and couldn't help but smile.

In the future, Lux, who steps into the dungeon, may become the fuse of all incidents.

Or, whether she steps in or not, it doesn't change the outcome.

And what Lu Qi is doing at the moment is just a vaccination.

The trio made their final stop at the Illuminator Chapel.

Lux wants to visit Kahina, and Luci remembers that she had made an appointment with Moff to see her in three days.

Fiona had nothing to do, so she followed.

When the trio arrived at the Illuminator's Chapel, they found that the atmosphere was not the same as before.

Not only are there many lighters here, but there are also many people, even Barrett.

Half-haired, dressed in a priest's robe, he stood in the crowd.

"Uncle Barrett."

Lu Qi stepped forward, said hello, and asked suspiciously, "Is there something going on here?" ”

Barrett was not surprised to see that it was Luci, his daughter Kahina had said that Luci would occasionally come to the Illuminator Chapel.

At this time, he said slowly: "There are a few children missing, one of them is a child named Mofu, I heard that I have a good relationship with you, do you know something?" ”

"?"

Lu Qi was even more puzzled, and then shook his head, "I don't know anything. ”

"Your Highness!"

At this moment, Kahina's voice came from the other end, and she looked at her, running towards this end.

"I just wanted to get someone to find you."

Panting and stopping, Kahina gasped and said, "and the others must have run away from home." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi was even more strange.

As she spoke, she took out a shriveled note from her pocket and handed it over: "This was found under Move's pillow." ”

Lu Qi took the note, spread it out and looked at it, only to see a few big characters written crookedly on the note, the handwriting looked like a child's handwriting, and there were even two typos.

"I'm going to earn money! Don't worry about me! ”

The above is a very simple sentence, and it also expresses the meaning of Mov's meaning.

This seems to have been left behind by him.

Indeed, it can be inferred from this that is likely to leave on his own initiative.

Fold the note, Luqi looked up and asked, "How many are missing?" When was it discovered? ”

"Five, and a little girl, and three eight or nine-year-olds, not long ago."

Kahina roughly explained the matter, "In the morning, a few of them were still there. At noon, however, Moff went out with a few of the children, for in the last few days they had been out to play near the church. ”

"These kids are very sensible, and they all go out to play after they finish the chores for the church. It's the same today, we don't care, usually they play for a while and then come back. ”

"But today they played a little bit longer, so I thought about going to the neighborhood to have a look, but I didn't see a few of them at all, and I felt that something was wrong."

Speaking of this, Kahina sighed when she was not in a good mood and said with some self-reproach.

"If only I had found out earlier, then we looked around the neighborhood and didn't see them, and that's what it is now."

She informed her father of the incident, and Barrett rushed to hear the news.

Although he is the high priest of the Illuminator, he usually has other things to do, so he will not be here often.

Hearing that the five children were missing, he gathered a group of lighters to see if there were any clues, and at the same time asked the nearby residents to help find them.

Although Mov ran away from home on his own initiative, after all, it is five children, and it must be false to say that he is not worried.

"Why did run away from home?"

Lu Qi asked puzzled at this time.

He knows Mov well, this kid is sensible early, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be.

The note said I was going to earn money.

But he's only in this grade, what kind of money does he earn?

"Maybe it's because he's too sensible."

Kahina sighed again, "There are a total of three Illuminator Chapels in the royal capital, and the monthly expenses are a lot of money. Recently, more and more children have been taken in here, and every mouth is waiting to eat, and the lighters are feeling a lot of pressure, which may be noticed by Move. ”

As mentioned earlier, the Illuminator is a charitable group dedicated to helping the weak and sick.

It's not that it's all about taking in a few children and helping them find a few families who are willing to adopt.

There's more to the Illuminator than that.

Even because of the Bouvier family and Barrett's charisma, every year someone gives money to the Illuminators.

But this money is also used for business, and there is often a shortage of money.
