"In this matter, please think twice about it."

Stuart didn't say anything more, left the words, bowed, and walked out.

Then, the ministers also began to disperse one by one.

"Your Majesty still has too few mages in contact, and the ministers know far better than Your Majesty that those who are evil to the bone can't coexist at all."

Eldred walked up to Gavin III, bowed down and said, "So please think twice about Your Majesty." ”

After saying that, he also walked out.

Soon, there were only a handful of people left in the chamber.

Jiawen III stood up, walked to the bedside of the conference hall, looked outside and muttered to himself, "Is it too early to implement this matter?" ”

Minister Roy stepped forward and said loudly: "Between Debang and the mage, water and fire have been intolerable since ancient times. If you want to easily break the balance between the two, you can't just pay lip service. ”

"The minister is here, and what I want Your Majesty to think twice about is whether this matter should be insisted on. No matter what decision Your Majesty makes, the old minister will be on His Majesty's side. ”

He's been in a position of power for too long, but he's the same as everyone else.

From birth, Roy was instilled with the idea that mages are evil, and since he was a child, his elders have said that mages are heinous and must not be shown any mercy to them.

Unlike others, he has learned to witness over the years.

He did not favor the words of those elders, but used his own eyes to see for himself.

So, he knows that there are good and bad sides to everything, and so does the mage.

It is bad if no mage is born, and in fact most of the mages he witnessed were innocent people who were implicated.

Tiana looked at the back of Gavin III, didn't say anything, and walked out.

She didn't really have much to say on the matter.

She could naturally see that mages were just like anyone else, they had just gained more power.

However, her husband was killed by a mage during the war.

From a wife's point of view, she is disgusted with mages.

Because of them, she lost the love of her life.

Until, a ray of light appeared in her world.

She began to wonder if she really hated mages.

Even the high-ranking marshal, in the face of this matter, he still felt only confused.

"The retainers retired."

Jiawen IV bowed slightly towards the back of the third, and walked towards the outside of the conference hall after speaking.

He knew his father's helplessness at the moment.

But even he can't do anything in the moment.

So, he silently made up his mind.

He's going to get stronger, strong enough to change all that.

Outside the Royal Palace.

Luqi got into the carriage, still thinking about what had happened in the conference hall just now.

In my memory, the third generation chose to live peacefully with the mages in his stance against them.

It's just that the resistance he faced was too great, and this matter has not been implemented.

It wasn't until later that an incident happened that completely made it impossible to pardon the mage.

In any case, this is something that Luki wants to stop.

It's just that he always feels that the reasons for this are not so simple.

At this moment, Lu Qi's eyes were attracted by the scene outside the carriage, and the brilliance in his eyes flickered slightly.

Eldred and Stuart got into the same carriage and went away.

Luki withdrew his gaze for a few seconds.

Until a "tick" sound.

It was a rainy day, and a wet black spot appeared on the road.

Then, the sound of "tick tick" continued to be heard, and raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.

"Whoa~"

In just a few seconds, the rain became heavier and heavier.

On the streets, many people who couldn't react were drenched in soup and took refuge in the rain.

There were spare umbrellas in the carriage.

Luki found it, went outside, propped up his umbrella, and shielded Yuna from the falling rain.

He is a person who especially likes rainy days, whenever it rains, especially this kind of rain that is not particularly heavy but not small, just looking at it will be very calm.

So he sat down beside Yuna and looked at the rain on the street and the people sheltering from it.

The rain fell suddenly, so Yuna's waterfall-like hair was still wet, and some raindrops slid down her white and flawless delicate face, and from the side, there were a few more different flavors.

Luki took out her handkerchief and wiped the rain off her face for her.

During the whole process, Yuna did not dodge, nor resisted, and was still expressionless.

However, when Lu Qi's gaze moved away from her face, those purple eyes flickered slightly.

Half an hour later.

The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance to the prison.

The rain still didn't mean to stop, and it was falling in a hurry.

With Yuna waiting in the carriage, Luki went to prison with an umbrella.

Walking to the playground, you can still see a figure running forward with chains on the playground.

It's just that under the rain, he is slow and tired.

Several of the guards in charge of guarding him stood in the shelter from the rain and watched.

When he saw Lu Qi, he immediately walked into the rain and came to salute.

"No courtesy."

Lu Qi waved his hand casually and told them to go back.

His gaze was on Silas.

It seems that after a long time, even he is about to be unbearable.

Silas was running slower and slower, and the cold weather combined with the rain that kept falling left him with a chill all over his body.

Finally, after holding on for a few minutes, Silas gave up on his feet and fell hard in front of him.

He fell into a puddle of rain and struggled to get up, but it was as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Let him rest."

Seeing this, Lu Qi ordered loudly.

"Yes!"

The guards received the order and immediately ran into the rain, picked up Silas who had fallen there, and pressed him back into the dungeon.

"Where's Deerd?"

Walking on the way to the dungeon, Lucci asked casually.

"Lord Deard, he walked away a little beforehand."

One of the guards came up with an excuse.

He didn't say that Lu Qi actually knew that Deard, who ran over as soon as he saw him, hadn't appeared until now, so he must have been lazy.

After all, he is the warden here, and it is impossible to be absent at this point in time.

Lu Qi didn't care that Deird didn't come out to greet him, and walked forward, saying, "Inform him later, if I don't see anyone else next time I come, then he can consider changing places to work." ”

The guard beside him hurriedly replied: "Yes! ”

Walking through the corridors of the dungeon, you can see that in the prisons on both sides, some of the captured mages are curled up in the corners, and some are sitting there with gloomy expressions.

Others grabbed the bars of the cell door and reached out to Lucie, begging him to let him out.

Luki ignored it and continued to walk inside.

Compared to the last time, the number of mages locked up here seems to be much less.

For example, if a mage is captured, he will usually be poured with forbidden lime water, and the weak will lose his magic, and if he is lucky, he will be able to see the light of day again.

If you're unlucky, you'll still have to be locked up for a few years.

If the magic is strong, he will drink the forbidden magic lime water here for a long time until the demon seeker confirms that he is no longer a threat.

And some special ones were either exiled or put to death

In short, any mage who is captured will basically not end well in the end.

This is what Gawain III wants to change right now.

In this cell, there may be at least half of the mages who are innocent.

Before they were caught, they could have been a farmer, a hunter, or a merchant. Just because in this magical land, if you have the talent to use magic, you will face prison.

Thinking about it, Lucci walked to the door of Silas' cell.

Taking the torch from one of the guards, he said, "I'll just go in alone." ”

When the guards heard this, they stopped following.

The door to the cell was shut, and the torches in his hands flickered, illuminating the inside.

Silas, who had been carried back, was sitting motionless at the moment, the stains on his body had not been cleaned, and when he saw Luffy coming in, he only raised his somewhat weak eyes to look at it, and then looked away.

"Looks like you're going to be overwhelmed."

Luki walked over to the cage and let the light of the torches illuminate it completely.

Silas didn't respond, and the long-term high-intensity running and weight-bearing carried left his body on the verge of collapse.

In the last few days, he has gritted his teeth every day.

The aches and pains in many parts of his body are always a reminder of what happened to Silas at the moment.

However, the sudden rain today did make him feel powerless from the bottom of his heart.

This powerlessness is not because of this rain, but because of this rain that makes it finally erupt.

Silas didn't know how long he would have to deal with such days.

I don't know if I have the day when I really see the light of day again.

Looking at Silas who didn't speak, Lu Qi didn't care, and said: "I am indeed a little surprised that you can hold out for so long, and I have to say that your perseverance is not necessarily worse than that of the soldiers of Debang." ”

Receiving the guy's compliment didn't make Silas very happy, just glanced at it, and moved away again.

"This time, I have something I want to share with you."

Lu Qi also did not like to speak alone, so he brought up the topic: "This morning, my father held a meeting on the pardon of mages. ”

Hearing this, Silas paused, he looked at Lu Qi who was standing in front of the cage, and after reacting, he sneered and said, "Does fooling a prisoner under the ladder make you feel happy?" ”

He didn't believe it was true at all.

"I thought your vocal cords were out there." Seeing him speak, Lu Qi smiled: "There are many sources of my happiness, but I am not going to lie to you in this matter. ”

His tone didn't look like he was lying, but Silas didn't believe it, just sneered.

If those high-ranking people really had the intention of pardoning the mage, he and his compatriots would not have spent countless days and nights in such a place.

Whether Silas believed it or not, Luch continued to say to himself: "The result of the meeting was that more than half of the ministers were against it. ”

Silas said coldly, "That seems to be true. ”

He had seen it a long time ago.

In the eyes of those in high power, mages are not even as good as roadside livestock.

How could they accept that a herd of animals was suddenly on an equal footing with them?

After countless dark days and nights, Silas finally figured out a question.

That is, the country of Demacia, without going through a bloody lesson, will never usher in a new change.

It is only when a heavy blow hits them that they feel the pain.

Silas doesn't know who will deliver the blow in the future, but he's looking forward to that day.

"Do you believe in chessboard theory?"

Suddenly, Lucci jumped on to something else.

Silas looked at him and didn't reply.

Lu Qi explained to himself: "The so-called chessboard theory is that we may live on a chessboard. Some people are born to be chess players, and some people are born to be chess pieces. The life of a chess piece is destined to be manipulated by the chess player until they die. ”

"It's ridiculous." Silas sneered.

"When a person's vision can only perceive a limited number of things, when something beyond their cognition happens, no matter who it is, the first reaction is not to believe."

Luffy said slowly, looking at Silas, "Isn't your life just a chess piece?" Born because of the special ability that is valued by the Demon Hunter, you think you have been reused. But when you show the slightest bit of detachment, they will leave you behind. ”

Silas looked at him coldly: "So, what do you want to say?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm just here to get a feel for your mentality." A gentle smile hung over Ludge's face.

However, this smile was very ugly and cheap in Silas's eyes.

With that, Luki was not ready to stay here any longer, and turned and walked out.

Watching the door of the cell slowly close, engulfing his back little by little, Silas stared ahead, the fist on his knees, and clenched unconsciously.

Even if you know, what Lu Qi said just now is not credible at all.

However, at this moment, Lu Qi's voice kept floating in his mind.

The rain-soaked coldness on his body hadn't dissipated much, and Silas couldn't help but think about it.

If his life is really just a chess piece.

So his chess piece has been kept until now, is it because there is still an unfinished mission?

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his fist and slammed it against the wall, making a "bang" sound, and the chain of the forbidden magic stone also made a shaking sound because of his movements.

The intense pain made him more conscious, and drops of red blood dripped to the ground.

The look in his eyes grew even colder.

If this bullshit chessboard theory really exists, then he jumps out of the chessboard and flips it over!

He must hold on, he must hold on until that day!

Luki left the dungeon, got into the carriage, and slowly headed home.

After a while, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

After getting out of the carriage and looking into the courtyard, I saw Suona sitting under the eaves, looking at the rain with big eyes, her water-blue hair naturally sprinkled on both sides, and her hands were playing on the top of the flowers, and a beautiful melody came out under the accompaniment of the rain.

This scene is like a picture of a beautiful woman in the rain.

Poppy sat beside her, her short legs not touching the ground, so she swayed and listened to the music quietly.

Fiona wasn't sitting outside, and she should have gone home at this point.

Noticing Lu Qi at the gate of the courtyard, Sana stopped playing and looked over with her eyes.

Luki looked at her, then smiled.

Sana looked away and looked away.

She rarely gets emotional, but Luki can feel that Sana seems to be a little depressed at this time.

So he walked over, sat down beside Suanna, put his hand on Sanhua, and said, "Is there anything unhappy?" ”

"Nope."

Suana's nice voice came out.

"I don't think so." Lu Qi looked at her sideways, and Sana was looking down at Sanhua.

"Not really." Sana's stubborn voice came, and after saying that, she picked up Sanhua and went back to the house.

Even though his hand left Sanhua, Lu Qi always felt that he still heard a "stupid" coming from nothing.

He scratched his head, looked at the disappearance of Sona's slender back, was a little puzzled, and asked Bobby, "Did you make her angry?" ”

"How is that possible!"

Bobbi immediately denied it, looked at Lu Qi and said, "It's obviously you." ”

"I'm even less likely."

Luki recalled, there was no place to make Sana angry.

Every day he still chats with Sana for many days.

After thinking about it, Lu Qi felt that Sana might have come to relatives.

At this time, Sana, who walked to the living room, sat on the sofa, looked at Sanhua in her arms, and sighed faintly.

Although it is true that Lu Qi did not snub her, her heart always felt empty when she thought that he and Miss Jian Ji had done such a thing.

The most infuriating thing is that these two have no intention of taking a break at all.

It's been so many days in a row!

Thinking of this, Sana sighed again.

Miss Kenhime just had the courage to do what she didn't dare to do.

If that night, she mustered up the courage to step into the yard.

A red cloud appeared on her face, and she took several deep breaths before calming down.

It's all to blame on Luki.

So much so that she didn't dare to talk to him now, for fear of letting him know the messy thoughts in her head.

Shaking her head at the unclean thoughts, she dropped her hand back on the strings and played.

The depression in my heart has dissipated a lot.

In fact, being able to be by His Royal Highness's side, she is already very content.

Outside the hospital.

Two figures in a hurry, riding bicycles, rushed into the courtyard under the rain curtain.

This made Lu Qi, who was sitting under the eaves watching the rain, a little strange: "Don't you two have umbrellas?" ”

"Where to steal an umbrella, who knows halfway through, suddenly it rains."

Lux grumbled, got off the bike with Kahina, and trotted under the eaves, wet from top to bottom, dropping water constantly.

The two of them are like two chickens in soup.

Lu Qi looked at them and said, "Just wait." ”

"We're all getting wet anyway, so we thought we'd just rush back!"

Lux smiled, but looking at her little expression, it was clear that there was more to it than that.

When I look at this product, I like the feeling of riding in the rain.

Lu Qi glanced at her and said, "Let's go change your clothes first." ”

The two men ran into the living room, and Lucky's got up and followed.

In the living room, Yuna was holding a dry towel and wiping Lux's wet blonde hair.

On the other side, it was Saina who helped Kahina rub it.

The two girls sat there obediently, at the mercy of them.

Suddenly, Lux shook her body and inhaled consciously, "It's so cold." ”

The weather outside is already cold, and when it rains like this, it gets even colder.

I didn't feel it when it was raining, but when I returned to the house, I suddenly felt cold.

Kacina next to her was not much better, shivering with the same cold.

"Self-inflicted." Lucky glanced at them and walked to the kitchen.

In the living room, after wiping their hair, the two girls ran to a room, and after a while, they changed their clothes and came out.

The first time I came out, I sat at the fireplace.

The fire in the fireplace was whirring, as if emitting a stream of heat, dispelling the cold from Lux and Kahina.

Roasting on the fire, feeling the body warmed up, the faces of the two girls also appeared with comfortable expressions.

"Ah~sneeze!"

Suddenly, Lux let out a sneeze, then sniffed with a confused expression.

"Ahh

Beside her, as if she was infected, Kahina also sneezed.

Suanna looked at them helplessly, looking at this, eighty percent of them were not far from a cold.

"It's over, it's like a cold."

Lux wiped her nose and felt like sneezing again.

"It's all your fault, I have to run back in the rain."

Kahina gave her a strange look.

Lux said straightly: "Who knew that your physique was so weak!" ”

"Aren't you the same!"

Kahina glared at her.

Suddenly, the two of them smelled a fragrance wafting out of the kitchen.

Immediately, I saw Lu Qi walking out with a steaming pot of soup for unknown reasons.

When he approached, several girls looked at him curiously.

It is a milky white soup with a fragrant smell that whets the appetite.

"What is this?" Lux's eyes lit up.

"Ginger hits the milk." Luqi asked Yurina to take the bowl and served a bowl to everyone: "It can effectively remove the wind cold, you two drink more, save the cold." ”

Lux took a bowl of ginger and couldn't wait to take a sip, but before she could look down, another sneeze came out.

"Ah~sneeze!"

Lu Qi suddenly felt a light rain on his face, he raised his eyebrows, and looked at the little golden retriever opposite with an unkind face.

Before he could say anything, there was another "sneeze", and with a sneeze from Kahina, Luki's face was once again covered with a burst of rain.

He felt that these two goods were deliberate.

"Cold. I can't control it either," Lux looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry Your Highness" Kahina also felt bad, left an apology, and wanted to run.

However, her movements were slow.

Luqi reached out and grabbed the back of Fate's neck, and then slipped back.

Then, he raised his hand, and a charge, and a brain crash landed on the door of her head, making a crisp sound.

"Hmm~!" Kahina screamed in pain, tears almost coming out of her eyes.

Sensing Lu Qi's unkind gaze, Lux's delicate body trembled, shrunk her neck and said weakly: "If you play her, you can't play me."

"It's a good thing." Lu Qi sneered, and hit her head mercilessly.

Hearing a painful cry, he turned around and washed his face with satisfaction.

These two brain meltdowns relieved Lux and Kacina for a while.

Sana looked at the red mark on the two of them's heads, and she also wanted to laugh.

After waiting for a while, the temperature of ginger's milk was not so hot, so Lux, Kashina, Suanna, Bobby, and Yuna tasted ginger's milk while it was hot.

After taking a sip, I suddenly felt a full of fragrance, and the milky taste spread in the mouth, just the right way to dissolve the taste of ginger.

Moreover, they feel like they are eating pudding, with clear and soft clotted milk lumps, which are very delicious.

As a bite fell into the abdomen, a wave of warmth flowed from the lower abdomen to the whole body.

Lux and Kaxina, who were all warm, suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Lu Qi didn't drink, and after washing his face, he sat down under the eaves outside the courtyard, and watched the rain not stop at all.

I sighed in my heart.

It's a nice weather.
