About half past ten.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

Luki stepped out of the carriage, and in the courtyard Lux was playing backgammon with Kashina.

Lux's nervous expression contrasted sharply with Kahina's laid-back expression.

It seems that they have taken care of the final work of the academy.

"I've bought a lot of things."

When Lux saw that Yuna began to move the painting tools from the carriage continuously, she immediately threw down the chess pieces in her hand, stood up and ran over: "I'm here to help!" ”

"Alas"

Kahina looked at the chessboard, where Lux was already about to lose, and sighed helplessly.

This one does it every time!

Then she got up too, walked to the carriage, and helped carry it.

In the evening, eight o'clock.

Everyone had just had dinner, and taking advantage of today's good weather, they all came to the outside of the courtyard and enjoyed the happy time after the meal.

And with the two figures appearing at the gate of the courtyard, the courtyard immediately became lively.

At this time, it was none other than Wayne and Frey who appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Compared with half a month ago, the two of them don't seem to have changed much.

If there is any change, it is that Wayne's temperament looks a little more calm.

When she took off her cloak, she could be seen carrying a large silver-white crossbow on her back, and a small, strange-looking crossbow in her hand, which was somewhat different from Lammings's.

The outfit on his body is mainly black and white, and his slender and tight legs are covered with white boots, which looks a little more cold.

Seeing this, Lu Qi was happy.

Sure enough, when we met again, we changed our skin.

At this time, isn't it the Sentinel of Light-Wayne?

Seeing her outfit, Lu Qi also knew that she should officially join the Sentinels of Light at this moment.

For the return of the two, everyone in the hospital also expressed a warm welcome.

"Lux, it's a little late, but I wish you a happy birthday."

Wayne looked at Lux and sent her belated birthday wishes.

Lux smiled happily, "Thank you!" And thank you for the gift! ”

Entering the courtyard, Wayne and Frey, as if they had relieved themselves of the fatigue of more than a month of traveling, looked at the familiar people, and had a feeling of going home.

After spending the night of Soul Eater at the border of the sea, they didn't stop and set off directly to the city that Lamins had mentioned.

There was little rest along the way.

At this moment, the two of them just came back, and they immediately went to the backyard.

Prepare to soak in the comfortable hot spring for a while after a long absence, not to mention how much they miss it along the way.

Backyard.

The crowd soaked in the pool.

Luki leaned against the edge of the pool, looking at the moonlight tonight and listening to the chat on the right side of the pool.

There are two more people, and the pool on the right is a little more lively.

Wayne and Frey, on the other hand, also tell interesting stories along the way, which leads to a bunch of questions from Lux like a curious baby.

Eleven o'clock in the evening.

And all the daughters were scattered, every man to his house.

Wayne and Frey stayed behind and said something they hadn't said while soaking in the hot springs.

"After getting on the boat, it took about four days for us to arrive in Eze. Not long after, two Light Sentinels appeared and led us to the Light Sentinel base in Eze. ”

Wayne sat on the couch and spoke slowly.

"The location of the base is very secluded, and a special key is required to enter. Before entering the Sentinel Base, Master and I were separated for a while. ”

Although Frey hadn't used dark magic in a long time, she still had a lingering aura on her body, even if the average person couldn't detect it.

But this is still the one who can't hide it from the Sentinels of Light.

Therefore, she can't join the Sentinels of Light like Wayne, even if her character and talent are excellent.

So the two were temporarily separated, and after the separation, Wayne was brought into the base of the Light Sentinels, and the holy relic of Lamins in her hand was a good token.

And being able to use the holy relics freely also proves that she has the qualifications and conditions to become a sentinel.

According to Wayne, there aren't many sentinels in the base who have combat power, and most of the people she sees are people who are engaged in support work.

After all, the Light Relic is not something that can be used by just one person.

After conveying Lamins' last words, the people of the base immediately began to test Wayne.

Vayne passed the test without question, and after taking the oath, she officially became a Sentinel of Light.

This also means that she has a mission to fight against the darkness, and at the same time, she also knows something about the black fog.

That black fog originated a long time ago, and the countries that arrived on this continent early were not the ones they are now.

The origin of the Sentinels of Light can also be traced back to that time.

They have a deep relationship with Black Mist.

It can be said that it was the appearance of the black fog that led to the emergence of them against the black fog.

The freedom of the Light Sentinel is very high, and after becoming a Sentinel, Wayne can choose to hunt the darkness independently, or take on some tasks from the Sentinel's base.

There will also be additional rewards for these tasks.

As for where did the money come from for the Sentinel Base.

The Sentinel Base of Light has a long history in Demacia, and over the years, they have had many solid industries that have provided a steady stream of economy.

I have to say that the Sentinels of Light do a good job of hiding this.

In such a long time, although they still inevitably left traces, there are still not many people who know about them.

It can be said to be a mysterious and ancient religion.

And every Sentinel of Light who becomes a combat power level can have a specific weapon.

Created by the craftsmen of the Sentinels of Light, it uses a special stone that resonates with the human spirit to unleash the power of light.

This power is extremely restrained against darkness.

But only a small number of people can use the holy relics and resonate with them.

That's how Wayne's giant crossbow and crossbow in his hand came about.

One was her own, and the other she inherited from Lamins.

After becoming a Sentinel of Light, Wayne solved several troubles for the local area, and officially set out with Frey on the journey back to the royal capital.

After listening, Lu Qi also thought for a while.

His knowledge of the Sentinels of Light, though he had, was not as detailed as what Wayne knew now.

The Black Fog will make a comeback next year, and in the future, because it will have an even bigger disaster.

And all along, the sentinels of light against the black fog have been the key to stopping this disaster.

Therefore, in Lu Qi's plan, contact with the Sentinels of Light has always been necessary.

Now that Wayne has become one of them, Lucci has indirectly come into contact with the Sentinels of Light.

You don't need to be in a hurry to do this, you can take your time.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

October 1st, the weather, fine.

Today is Demacia's National Day, and early in the morning, the atmosphere in the royal capital has become lively.

Residents took to the streets and started celebrating early.

Lu Qi didn't know if it was fate, Debang and his impression of the National Day were exactly the same.

He couldn't sleep this morning, so he got up at half-past six.

After washing, he changed into a solemn dress, got into the carriage early, and arrived at the palace.

There are quite a few people who get up early like him.

In the palace, many ministers have already arrived, all wearing grand costumes and standing in the hall with solemn faces.

Dressed in a golden robe, with a crown on his head and a scepter in his hand, King Gawain III sat on the throne, showing the unique majesty of the king.

Lu Qi and Gawain IV stood on the left and right.

As time passed, people showed up.

Soon, there were four teams dressed differently and slowly walked into the main hall.

In one of the teams, Luki saw Panis, who was dressed in a white princess dress, and she spotted Luki's gaze, cast her gaze directly, and then blinked.

Lucci immediately looked away.

At this time, the leader of one of the teams said: "Li Yinglan congratulates Debang on its 679th birthday and hereby presents a congratulatory gift. ”

"Nokmoch congratulates Debang on the celebration of the country, and I hope that your country will be prosperous forever."

"Skar Guoen is hereby offering a congratulatory gift for Zhu Debang's birthday celebration."

"Glenlot wishes Debang prosperity and prosperity, and hereby presents a congratulatory gift."

As DuPont walked out, he said the last word of congratulations.

King Jiawen III also got up, looked at everyone with a casual face and said: "Welcome envoys from all countries to come to celebrate our country, and I hope you will enjoy the celebration of the country with us today." ”

Lu Qi's eyes at this moment were also on the representatives of the four allies.

These were the envoys of the allies located next door to Demacia.

Lee, Nockmoch, Skawene and Glenlot.

All four countries had established alliances with Demacia a long time ago, and they also had a lot of trade with Demacia.

Among them, Glenlot has the longest alliance with Demacia, followed by Scarguon, Leelan and Nockmoch.

The envoys of the four countries all offered gifts.

After the congratulations, it was time for the celebration to begin.

On the streets of the royal capital, the people stood on both sides, and with the sound of solemn music, bursts of salutes soared into the sky.

An army in silver-white armor, in a neat posture and queue, appeared on the street.

At the head was a horse in silver armor, and on top of the horse sat none other than Gavin III.

He waved to both sides of the street with a casual face, causing countless cheers.

Luqi and Gavin IV, riding horses behind him.

They were followed by a number of fearless warriors, then a cavalry army, then an infantry.

In the air, several silver-winged dragon birds flew by, grazing the sky above the city, and drove quickly under the shouts of the people.

The huge and handsome silver-winged dragon bird, with its elegant posture and extremely fast speed when flying, attracted a burst of enthusiastic shouts.

These are Demacia's anti-air troops, the Dragonfowl Soldiers!

It is the solid air power of Debang.

As street by street, finally, the procession from all directions gathered in the vast and magnificent square of the royal capital.

The soldiers gathered in a vacant field, there were not many of them, but when they were condensed, they gave a sense of imposing force.

And nearby, a large part of the residents have gathered.

Gavin III stepped onto the corridor of dawn and walked forward to the enthusiastic cheers of the people.

Then, step by step, he climbed the steps, and finally stood on the high platform and raised his hand.

Just a gesture, and the entire vast grand square immediately fell silent.

Such a large square, so many people, at the same time, remained silent, fully demonstrating the harmony of the Demacians.

"In the 679th year of Demacia, we have once again celebrated its birthday. Over the years, our whole country has united and worked together to create our beautiful homeland today. ”

"Looking back on history, we are thrilled. Looking forward to the future, we are full of pride. ”

"Even though we still have a long way to go. But I believe that together with you, we will be able to usher in a better future. ”

Gavin III spoke loudly, and his solemn voice resounded through the loudspeakers throughout the magnificent square.

His words fell, and there were countless cheers in response.

The whole magnificent square was boiling in an instant.

Lu Qi stood in the back, looking at everyone in the audience cheering enthusiastically and excitedly, and also felt how much his father was loved in the hearts of the people.

Jiawen III, since he ascended the throne, has indeed done a lot of great things.

It not only reformed many imperfections in Debang, but also increased the cultivation of the bottom and ordinary residents.

Externally, he has won many battles, basically a record of complete victories.

Internally, he governed well and was loved by the people.

And just like that, the morning passed.

The entire royal capital was in the atmosphere of celebrating the National Day, and with the passage of time, the lively atmosphere not only did not ease, but continued to rise.

Everywhere in the royal capital, salutes continued to sound.

Two days ago, the palace opened the right to sell fireworks, and it was the first time that fireworks appeared so close to people's eyes.

As early as September 24, during the fireworks feast that lit up the entire royal capital that night, countless people noticed this.

As soon as it was released at this moment, it was immediately robbed.

In this regard, the government has launched stricter control.

After all, the main ingredient of fireworks is gunpowder after all, and although the proportion is not high, it has a certain degree of danger.

Of course, the level of danger is certainly not up to the level of black powder.

And this thing, now that it's out, it's impossible to hide it forever.

Luki wasn't prepared either, leaving him to hide all the time.

Since sooner or later there will be a day when it will be made public, it is better to prepare for this in advance.

At this moment, the salute of the royal capital also made the envoys of the four countries feel that Debang was different from before.

When they came to the royal capital, they had already noticed that there seemed to be many differences in the city.

However, this country has always forbidden demons.

As allies, they certainly wouldn't offend Debang on this point.

Although there is no law against demons in their country, in their interactions in previous years, they have always honored this law of Debang.

The celebration is still going on.

And in the afternoon, in the Imperial Palace, in order to welcome the arrival of the envoys of the four countries, as well as the National Day, a banquet also began.

Many nobles gathered here.

And at the banquet, Luki had to dress up for such an occasion.

However, Gavin IV was a bit busier in comparison, and he had to deal with the envoys.

"I'm tired."

Lu Qi sat in his seat at the moment, looking tired and busy.

From the morning to now, he can be said to have run a lot of places, and he is afraid that he will use up all the energy for the next few days.

"Bear with it and it's over."

Beside her, Lux comforts Luci while eating cake.

Although the taste is not as good as that made by Lu Qi, it does not prevent her from taking two or three bites at all.

"Your Highness, meet again~!"

At this time, Panis walked over with a smile on her face and greeted her warmly.

When Luki saw her, a smile appeared on his face, "Hello, Panis." ”

Panis sat down next to Luqi very naturally, and said with emotion: "Although this is my first time in Demacia, it feels different from what I remembered. ”

Lu Qi couldn't help but ask, "Is it better or worse than you remember?" ”

"Of course, it's good, not only the royal capital, but also a lot of things I saw along the way, which made me feel the charm of this country." Panis looked at Lu Qi with a smile, and then said: "Your Highness helped me change the painting that day, after I went back, I read it many times, and then learned a lot of useful things, thank you, Your Highness." ”

Lu Qi smiled: "You're welcome. ”

Panis looked at Lu Qi and sent out an invitation: "After the banquet is over, I wonder if His Highness has time?" I want to go around the festival with His Highness. ”

"I'm afraid not." Lu Qi said helplessly.

It's not that he refuses politely this time, but he really doesn't have time, and he's probably going to have to show up on a formal occasion today.

"I understand." Panis, still smiling, saw Dupont waving to her, and got up: "Don't forget our agreement, I'll go first, I'll see you later." ”

With that, she bowed lightly and left.

Luqi sighed.

"Yo, it's still an agreement."

On the side, there was the strange voice of Miss Crown.

Luqi turned his head to look at her, too lazy to take care of the goods, and did not speak.

Lux reached out and poked him directly on the waist: "You guys seem to know each other very well." ”

Lucci turned his head: "Where did you feel that?" ”

"From her." Lux glanced at Panis, who was smiling and talking to the people around her, "When did you meet?" ”

Lu Qi said casually: "On that day, when I was buying painting tools, I happened to meet on the street. ”

"Oh." Lux nodded, and then asked, "What about the agreement?" What conventions? And repainting, what painting? ”

"Do you need to ask in such detail?"

Lu Qi said he didn't want to say.

Lux's little face was serious: "Say it quickly." ”

"It's nothing, just that day"

Luki told him about the day he went out and met Panis.

Lux listened and nodded, snorting slightly.

"That's pretty much it." After half a ring, Luqi finished.

"Tsk, on the street, the prince and the princess met by chance because of a painting, and it was really a romantic encounter."

Lux sneered twice, "Wouldn't it be a waste if you two didn't have some story?" ”

I don't know who I learned this yin and yang weirdness.

Luqi didn't bother to pay attention to her, stood up, and prepared to walk around.

Soon, he saw Fiona coming towards him, and said hello: "Good afternoon." ”

When Fiona saw him, her face was cold, and she came up and asked, "When did you and that princess meet?" ”

Lucci: "."

Yes, I have to say it again.
