Chapter 176: A look of doing something wrong
The dissipation of the shadow of war caused the surrounding undead to fall into a dead panic.
The black mist became agitated, and the mournful cries became furious.
Galen rushed down from the ship with his broadsword, followed by Quinn, Frey, and two hundred warriors.
Rushing at the remaining undead in the black mist, he began to fight back.
The battle continues.
But for the undead who lost the Shadow of War, as well as the Iron Legion, the end of defeat was doomed.
As time passed, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and it was close to dawn.
The first rays of sunlight shone through the black fog and shone down, like the first hint of spring in the bitter winter.
The black fog began to retreat, rolling up all the terrifying souls into a chaotic storm.
The out-of-control dead gnawed at each other, some attacking each other like crazy, others struggling to flee and follow the black mist.
The people stopped what they were doing and watched as the black fog faded away and returned to the depths of the sea.
Above the sea, everything is calm again.
But the traces of the battle tell everyone clearly what happened here.
Everyone felt a sense of relief at this moment, and countless tiredness surged up from the bottom of their hearts.
They raised their heads, greedily breathed in the fresh air, looked up at the clear sky, and enjoyed the feeling of the sun shining on their faces.
The weapon in his hand couldn't help but loosen and fell to the ground.
Luki walked on the island without stopping, stopping in front of a wounded man from time to time to treat his injuries.
Around noon.
Dornhold.
In the hall of the Hall of Valor, in front of a stone monument.
The names of the fallen soldiers were engraved on it, and countless people looked at the names on the stone tablets in silent mourning.
Luqi stood to the side, his eyes fixed on the stele.
He knew that the Night of Soul Eater was over.
But those who have passed away will not come back.
This time, because of the preparations made in advance, and the support of Galen, Suona and others came in a very timely manner, the casualties were not particularly large.
Until now, the fighters can still recall what they had experienced last night.
Just imagine, if there is no preparation for the Night of Soul Eater, what a catastrophe it will be, and how many people will die.
After the mourning ceremony, Luci returned to the lodgings that Watercity had prepared for him.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, I only felt unusually tired physically and mentally.
Lying on the bed, I soon felt a wave of sleepiness hit me, but closed my eyes.
In my mind, I kept thinking about everything I experienced last night.
It was the first Soul Eater night that Demacia had ever experienced, but such a catastrophe happened once a year.
Hekarim died by his sword, but was he really dead?
The black fog gives the undead immortality, and the source of everything is in the Shadow Isle, if this root cause is not solved, will the shadow of war really die?
The time of real danger has not yet come.
How long has it been since that love brain woke up?
Questions like these kept coming back to Lu Qi's mind, making him unable to sleep soundly, and his brows were unconsciously squeezed together.
Not for a while.
With a "squeak", the door was gently pushed open, and a light step slowly came to the bed.
Sana sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lu Qi's sleeping face, a touch of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curvature.
The frowning appearance of him when he falls asleep is also very good-looking, and he can't get tired of looking at it from any angle.
He had been watching silently, and suddenly, Sana lowered her head slightly, and her aqua blue hair fell on his body.
And just like that, looking at his sleeping face from top to bottom, face to face.
Suanna's long eyelashes quivered, and then, her lips leaned up slightly.
Clicked on his mouth, and then immediately moved away in a panic, and saw that he was always breathing evenly, and then he relaxed a little.
Feeling the heart beating in her heart, and the warmth that seemed to remain on her lips, a hint of joy and satisfaction flashed in Suanna's eyes.
Seeing his brow stretched, the corners of Sana's mouth showed a touching smile, looking at him gently.
Then she summoned up some courage again.
The body lay gently on his side, just looking at his sleeping face up close.
This night, Luki slept very comfortably, and slept very hard.
In his sleep, he felt as if he was pillowing on two soft things, full of elasticity and beauty, it was a perfect pair of pillows.
By the time I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
If it weren't for the hunger, Luki felt like he could sleep a little longer.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the ceiling.
At this moment, there was a feeling of oversleeping, and when he came to his senses, Lu Qi noticed a fresh fragrance beside him.
The scent was so familiar that Luki had only smelled it on Sana's body.
Sitting up and glancing at the side, Lu Qi raised his waist.
He slept too hard yesterday, and he didn't know if anyone had ever come.
At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps, and in a short time, the door was pushed open.
Sana slowly walked in with a breakfast, and as soon as she entered, she saw that Luki's eyes were staring at her.
Her face turned red unconsciously, and she looked away a little weakly, not looking at him.
Seeing this, a flash of suspicion flashed in Lu Qi's eyes.
This Nizi's weakness is too easy to see, and she has an expression of doing something wrong.
However, when the overly hungry Lu Qi saw the breakfast, he gave up thinking, and after thanking him, he took the breakfast and ate it one bite at a time.
Sana sat down next to her, watching Luki eat breakfast without blinking.
When Lu Qi was about to finish eating, she took the initiative to take Sanhua over.
The moment Lu Qi raised his hand to make contact with Sanhua, Sana's heart came over.
"Is it delicious?"
Her watery eyes looked at Lu Qi expectantly.
"It's delicious, let's have another serving."
Lu Qi nodded with a smile on his face and handed over the lunch box.
"Good~!" Sana took the lunch box with great joy and ran out of the room happily.
Watching Sana leave the room, Lu Qi touched his half-full stomach, slowly leaned back on the bed, and waited for him.
Apparently this breakfast was made by Sona herself.
It tastes pretty good.
This Nizi sometimes runs over to learn from the side when he is cooking, and it seems that she has learned a little skill.
At this time, Lu Qi looked down and looked at Sanhua who was placed next to him.
This pale golden guqin can clearly see the breath of the years, but it does not look old.
Thinking back to last night, Suanna's support can be said to be quite timely.
This wave of group control directly interrupted Hecarim's ultimate.
Otherwise, Lu Qi was not sure if he could handle it.
It was also her key group control that allowed Luqi to find an opportunity to send Hecarim back to the West in waves.
Thinking of the shock Hecarim showed when he saw Sanhua in Sona's arms, Luki thought for a moment.
Looking at the appearance of people and horses, it seems that they know this thousand-year-old guqin.
And seeing that those undead are extremely jealous of this guqin, the more it shows that the coming of this guqin may not be simple.
And this guqin is related to Suanna's life experience.
Soon after her birth, she was abandoned at the door of the monastery along with the guqin.
After that, her parents were not recovered, until Noxus invaded and Sana was taken to Demacia.
If Hecarim had seen the guqin, or had ever seen the user of the guqin, it was most likely related to Suona's background.
Is it from the Isle of Shadows?
Or was it a country a thousand years ago?
Why did Suanna's parents abandon her again?
Luki pondered, thinking that when he had a chance in the future, he might have to go to the Shadow Isle to find out.
With nothing to do, he silently said, "Sign in." ”
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare exotic fruit - Red Zhen Grape]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the training card (3 days)]
Glancing at the system's rewards, Luki yawned not too sleepily and continued to lean against the wall.
Not long after, Sana returned with another breakfast.
She handed it to Lu Qi and continued to sit next to him, watching him eat one bite at a time, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was very satisfied.
After eating and drinking, I chatted with Sana for a while.
Lucci went outside.
It seemed that he was the only one who slept lazily that day.
Sithria, Quinn, Wayne, Frey, and a group of personal soldiers, as well as a group of personal soldiers, have begun their daily morning exercises.
Poppy's small figure also blended in, carrying the hammer everywhere and exercising with him in the morning.
When Galen saw Lu Qi, he walked over and said, "Your Highness, the royal capital already knows the situation here. ”
Lu Qi nodded and asked, "Did the black fog still come last night?" ”
Galen shook his head, "No." ”
Luki relieved himself and confirmed that the Night of Soul Eater had passed.
If the black fog had come again last night, he probably wouldn't have been able to sleep now.
However, to be on the safe side, he was going to stay here for another two days.
After all, he can't say for sure whether this thing will go and come back.
Even if I have some understanding, but when I experience it firsthand, it feels different.
Even for Demacia, the impact of the Night of Eater of Souls was a very big event.
So in a blink of an eye, two days passed.
On September 13, the weather was fine.
Outside the harbor of Dornhold, calm was restored, and the sun was gently falling.
Standing in the coastal harbor, looking at the blue sea and the fishing boats going out to sea, Lu Qi was also ready to embark on the journey back to the royal capital.
Three nights have passed since Soul Eater Night.
There was no sign of the black fog coming on these three nights, so it was confirmed that the night of Soul Eater had indeed passed.
The next Night of Soul Eater will be a long time later.
At this time.
Wayne and Frey stood on a ship that was about to leave and said goodbye, "We shouldn't be able to make it back to Lux's birthday, so I wish her a happy birthday." ”
"Hmm."
Lu Qi nodded, looking at the bright cross crossbow on Wayne's wrist, he also felt a little emotional.
The next time she saw Wayne, she was afraid she would have already changed her skin.
On his deathbed, Lamins entrusts the Light Creature to Wayne and tells her to go to a city called 'Ezel'.
Wayne and Frey decided to make a trip.
The city was located in the southernmost part of Demacia, also by the sea.
Even if you take a boat from here, it will take four or five days, and when you go back, it will add up to half a month.
"When you get there, if you meet someone from the Sentinels of Light, send this letter to Lucian for me."
Before the two left.
Luci handed them the letter he had written to Lucian.
Lucian's whereabouts are uncertain, and only the Sentinels of Light will have a way to get the letter into his hands.
The letter provided some feedback on the situation of Soul Eater Night, as well as what Lamins had explained.
"I know."
Wayne took the letter, and then waved goodbye to Quinn, Sisleya, and the others who saw them off at the port.
Watch the ship fade away.
An hour later, the ship returning to the royal capital was also on the course.
Five days later.
At noon on September 18.
Lu Qi led a group of pro-soldiers back to the foot of the walls of the royal capital.
After returning to the royal capital, without resting, Luqi and Galen rushed to the palace without stopping.
Quinn takes Bobby to the pro-barracks, while Sana heads home.
Thirty minutes later, Luci and Galen stopped in front of the palace.
Turning over and dismounting, they immediately set off in the direction of the conference hall.
In the conference hall, Gavin III, IV, Tiana, Roy, Lev, Winward and other ministers had already received the news in advance and gathered again to wait.
Seeing the two of them push the door and walk in, their eyes were focused on them for a while.
Gavin III looked at Lu Qi with a look of great relief.
King Gavin IV also looked at him, proud of his performance this time, and a little emotional.
Before he knew it, Lu Qi had already made a lot of achievements.
The last cult and the beast tide, plus this Soul Eater Night, in these two major events, Lu Qi's performance was crucial.
It can be said that it has affected the overall situation.
The events of Dornhold's Soul Eater had been reported in letters a few days earlier.
Demacia, who experienced such an event for the first time, took it very seriously.
Because, this means that on the back side of Demacia, which has been peaceful for so long, there is also an enemy that cannot be underestimated.
At the same time, the most frightening thing is the unknown.
For Demacia, the undead legions, the unknown is a sign of terror.
Tiana looked at the two of them and remembered what Luci had said before he set off.
Unexpectedly, as he said, those black fogs were really a bad omen.
"Father."
Luki came to the third and bowed.
Jiawen III's eyes softened, and he patted him on the shoulder: "This customs border, you have made a lot of contributions, and I will discuss the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds later, and I will talk about the matter in detail first." ”
"Yes."
Lu Qi responded, looked at the minister, thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth to speak.
From the time he set off for the island to the night he experienced on the way back.
In the process, he downplayed the identity of Lamins, the sentinel of light, and simply mentioned it, a soul who was still noble in the black mist.
When Luch finished speaking, it was Galen's turn.
Galen is about the Night of Soul Eater that happened on the shore.
All the ministers listened quietly to the details of what had happened, and they could imagine how serious the danger was to the troops at that time.
After listening, people were all impressed by the defense line made by Lu Qi in advance.
This time is the same as last time, if Lu Qi hadn't prepared in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
And the sense of crisis brought to everyone by this Soul Eater Night is far more serious than the last cult and beast tide.
Many people's faces gradually became solemn.
For those undead who are almost immortal, it can be said that it can feel very tricky.
Where do they come from? And why? How to have this power?
The reason for all is unknown.
Soon, at this point, the ministers began to discuss.
Most of the directions discussed are the sources of black fog.
"We can't be ignorant of the Black Mist."
"Will it come back? Or when will it come back? ”
"We must find out where the black fog comes from!"
"Your Majesty, the minister suggests sending someone to find out!"
"But who knows what danger is at the source? Who to send? ”
The radicals believed that Demacia should send a team to the west to thoroughly investigate the source of the black fog.
Go to the source of the black fog and find out.
Conservatives, on the other hand, feel that they can't be so reckless.
After all, no one can guarantee the source of the black fog, and what awaits them there.
Radicals and conservatives are in a fierce confrontation on this point.
In this regard, several important figures such as Gavin III, Tiana, and Roy have not expressed their opinions.
As the conversation progressed, the number of supporters of the radicals' decision grew.
No one can tolerate that there is an unknown enemy behind Demacia.
Finally, on the octagonal table, someone raised his hand.
"I suggest that a team of five hundred people be sent to the source of the black fog to find out the cause."
The person who spoke was the representative of the nobility, Stuart, and he raised his hand slightly, indicating his attitude.
Then, another person raised his hand.
It's the head of the Forbidden Demons, Eldreld.
"I also suggest that the source of the black fog be identified."
The voices of the two fell, and the ministers around them raised their hands in agreement became more and more numerous.
"I agree."
"The black fog must be ascertained!"
"It's a big deal, send a little more people, five hundred people are not enough, just a thousand."
Lu Qi looked at the ministers' intentions and began to move closer to the source of the investigation, and thought.
Isn't the source of the black fog the Shadow Island?
Shadow Isle is a place that you can't afford to visit.
Most of Demacia's troops are elite, so they have always won by quality.
At that time, in Dornhold, only a force of nearly 4,000 people was able to stop the invasion of the Black Mist.
However, even if there are more elites, wouldn't it still be a head-off to go to that place on Shadow Island?
So, after thinking for a while, Lu Qi raised his hand and said, "Allow me to say a few words." ”
As soon as he spoke, the scene fell silent, and all eyes were on him.
Tiana also looked at him, wanting to see what he had to say.
"As someone who has personally experienced this incident, I think I have a say."
Lu Qi looked around the conference hall and said, "My suggestion is to give up the investigation. ”
A little tired, the Kavin code can't write a word.
