Chapter 219: Endure the calm for a while
Next.
The cacophony of training outside woke Luki up.
When he opened his eyes, he blinked sleepily, and the cold air made him can't help but wrap himself in the quilt.
At this moment, it was already dark, and Lu Qi finally broke the seal of the bed and sat up.
"Check-in."
γCongratulations to the host for obtaining the 100-year Monkey Wine*1γ
γCongratulations to the host for obtaining the Hidden Qi Elixir*1γ
The sound of two consecutive systems sounded.
Luffy's gaze turned to the second reward, and he briefly checked the introduction.
Hidden Qi Elixir, a potion that can completely hide the breath after drinking, lasts for twelve hours.
For an assassin like Katerina, it's the ultimate prop.
Twelve hours to completely hide the aura, in this case, even the most keen-sensed person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to detect.
However, Lu Qi already has a hidden technique, and the LV8 hidden technique can almost minimize the aura, and this bottle of potion is better than nothing for him.
It was another century-old monkey wine, which made Lu Qi's alcohol addiction early in the morning.
Just as he was cold, he took out the monkey wine from his backpack and took a drink.
As a rich aroma spreads in the mouth, the monkey wine falls into the stomach and gradually turns into a pleasant heat that spreads throughout the body.
My body suddenly warmed up.
There wasn't much monkey wine in this portion, and the addicted Lu Qi drank it all into his stomach in a few sips, and at this moment, his whole body was inexplicably relieved.
The sound of the system was also heard.
[Congratulations on the host qualification breakthrough to 70]
The qualifications have broken through again, and this time I finally have a slight feeling, my body seems to be a lot easier, and there is a state of indescribability.
Lu Qi didn't pay much attention to the question of qualifications, stood up, and walked outside.
He was probably the last to get up, and by this time the rest of the people had already finished their breakfast and were busy.
Still, Yuna left him breakfast.
It's very simple, two black breads, a bowl of porridge with vegetables and meat.
Now that the conditions are not high, Lu Qi can't eat big fish and meat for the time being, but he has never been a picky eater.
If there is a good one, eat it well, and if there is no good one, eat it normally.
Don't look at the appearance of this bread is dark and swarthy, but it has been baked, the crust is crispy, and the inside is soft and glutinous with a faint sweetness, and the taste is quite good.
With vegetable and meat porridge, you can get half of it in one bite.
The main thing is that this tube is full.
Bread is a mainstream food that is easy to make and effortless, and it is the most common preparation food in times of war.
After breakfast, Lucie learns that Lux and Kahina have gone to meet up with the Illuminators.
After all, the two of them came here because of this in the first place, and when they arrived in Hill City at this time, they naturally would not be idle.
It seems that Sivana has followed, hoping that she can also contribute a little bit to the city that has accepted her.
Wayne and Frey, on the other hand, took Bobby to the barracks and trained with the soldiers.
Caterina who has been reduced to a maid can't go anywhere, she can't even be a maid when she's stupid.
In other words, she is also from the noxas nobility, and when has she served others.
At this time, I was lazily sitting not far from Suona, listening to her practice, and I enjoyed it.
At this time, it was Yurina who brought a cup of hot tea to Luki.
Seeing this, Lu Qi immediately felt that this would not work.
This red-haired chick obviously hasn't figured out her position yet, and the work is still all done by Yulna, so what's the point of him recruiting a new maid?
Is it just for an extra mouth?
It looks like it's going to be femdom this girl.γ
After thinking about it, Lu Qi said directly: "The one over there." β
As soon as Caterina heard the voice, she knew that she must be calling her, so she turned around, looked at Lu Qi with a cold face, and said, "I have a name." β
Lu Qi said, "I know you have a name, but I like to call it this, can't I?" β
Caterina gave him a silent look.
This guy obviously didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he had a look of finding fault with him.
Thinking of enduring the calm for a while, she said, "Yes, so what's the matter?" β
Hearing this, Lu Qi said lightly: "If you answer incorrectly in the first sentence, you will be punished for not being able to eat lunch." β
Caterina, who was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly: "What was wrong with me?" β
Lu Qi looked at her: "Are you not convinced?" β
Caterina met his eyes without fear: "Of course not." β
Inexplicably, a lunch is gone, and it's strange to be able to serve.
Lu Qi said directly: "Talk back, and punish you for another dinner." β
Katerina: "? β
She could see that this guy was here to find fault.
Looking at the red-haired chick's cold little face, Lu Qi said indifferently, "Yuna, tell her the correct answer." β
"Yes, Your Highness." Yuna stood aside and said with an expressionless face: "You should go back at this time, Your Highness, what are your orders?" β
"Do you understand?" Lu Qi looked at Caterina and said lightly: "Your current identity is a maid, so before you speak, you must recognize your identity." β
Caterina remembered that she had indeed promised to be this guy's maid, so she swallowed this breath silently, stood up and said, "Your Highness, may I ask what you want." β
Lu Qi said: "No, sit down." β
However, not long after Caterina sat down, she heard the guy's voice again.
"The one over there."
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Patiently, Caterina stood up and repeated what she had just said.
Lu Qi casually ordered, "Go and pour me a glass of water." β
Caterina looked at the hot tea that Yuerna had just brought in front of Luki, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you already have water?" β
"If you answer incorrectly, you'll be punished for having breakfast tomorrow gone."
After Lu Qi finished speaking, he directly gave the answer: "Tea is tea, and water is water." What you have to do is not to question, but to carry out my commands, understand? β
Katerina clenched her fists and took a deep breath, "Understood. β
Holding back the repetition of these two words in her heart, she turned to leave.
A few minutes later, she brought a cup of hot water, stopped beside Lu Qi, and said wisely, "Your Highness, your water." β
"Wrong."
Lu Qi faintly said a word.
Directly to Caterina to wrap up.
What's wrong again?
"It should be, Your Highness, your water."
Lu Qi took the glass of water and took a small sip: "The water temperature is okay, but your lunch tomorrow is gone." β
The corners of Katerina's mouth twitched, her clenched fists trembled slightly, and a pair of eyes looked at Lu Qi, and she couldn't help but burst out with a wisp of killing intent.
Endure the calm for a while, take a step back, and the more you think about it, the more angry you become!
When did she Katerina suffer from this kind of anger?
If someone else dares to do this to her, he would have stabbed her earlier, and he would have to let him know why the flowers were so red.
But now, after several psychological struggles, Caterina endured it.
I can't fight with this kind of slut.
The first lesson to learn to become a top-notch Assassin is not to let emotions dominate your body, and to keep a still heart at all times.
A high-end assassin must also learn to adapt to any environment!
Even though Caterina was already angry at this time, she still held back!
Temporarily becoming this guy's maid is just a means for her to accomplish her goal!
Forcibly calming herself down, Caterina looked at Luci, gritted her silver teeth and said, "I see, Your Highness, what else do you have to order?" β
"And there's that."
Luci glanced Caterina up and down thoughtfully.
In winter, the clothes she wears are still very thick, but even so, you can still see that she has a good figure.
This look at Caterina was very twisted.
Then I heard Luqi say, "Yulna, put your spare maid clothes on her." β
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yuna responded.
When Caterina heard this, she instinctively wanted to refuse, but in the end she didn't open her mouth.
Silently followed Yuna and left.
Even if she didn't need to say anything more about Lu Qi, she already knew in her heart that she had to recognize her position right now.
It's not the time when she's free in Noxus.
After a while, Caterina, who had changed into a maid suit, followed Yurina out.
She lowered her head slightly, biting her lip as if she was enduring something, her red hair fell down her shoulders, and under the black and purple maid's skirt was quite graceful figure, although it didn't look much thinner, but it was more visible than the one just now.
The most important thing is temperament, the cold Catalina wears a maid suit, and it looks extremely good in contrast.
In terms of the temperament of wearing this dress, it is worse than Yulna, but it is also very good.
"It's quite suitable for you, I hope this dress can always remind you what you should do."
Lu Qi glanced up and down and said with a slight compliment.
His praise didn't make Caterina much happier, and for the first time in her life, she felt a little humiliated.
Like, by doing so, she really became a person inferior to this guy.
Seeing her like this, Lu Qi knew that this red-haired chick would definitely be unconvinced.
But after all, it's just the beginning, and the training has to be slow.
After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "The weather is good today, let's go outside for a walk." β
Caterina looked up and looked down at the maid dress she was wearing, she was going to wear it to go outside?
"Let's go."
Lu Qi gave her a look that could not be denied, and walked outside.
Yurina followed behind him, and Caterina saw this, and reluctantly followed.
Suanna, who has always disliked going to crowded places, also followed Lu Qi this time, and seemed to plan to go shopping with him.
Lu Qi looked at her and said, "You don't have to force yourself, just rest at home." β
Sana shook her head, and a voice came from her heart: "It's okay for me, I want to go out and have a look too." β
"Hmm."
Since it was her own idea, Lu Qi didn't say anything more.
The four of them walked down the street, which really attracted a lot of attention.
After all, just in terms of temperament and appearance, it is attractive enough, and the two beautiful maids among the four also show Lu Qi's noble identity.
Caterina lowered her head and followed Luci, feeling the gazes cast at her, and feeling inexplicably ashamed in her heart.
It's not like she's never seen a maid, but she never thought she'd become one day.
It's nothing to talk about this identity, but Katerina, who has always been arrogant, is still a little unacceptable after all.
glanced at it, and Yuna next to her was still expressionless, as if she was used to it.
Caterina took a deep breath and calmed her mind, telling herself that a powerful assassin must learn to adapt to her environment.
With such comfort, Caterina suddenly felt less ashamed.
Her eyes began to look at the street around her.
It was found that the four of them were walking on a street with a less lively atmosphere at the moment.
In other words, this street at this moment exudes an indescribable sadness.
This is a street specially vacated by King Gawain IV for those who have lost their relatives and friends, and where they can pay tribute to those who died in Noxus.
Therefore, the atmosphere is not cheerful at all.
Everyone who came to this street, lost something important.
Looking at those people with sad and sad expressions, Caterina had to say that she felt much, but there weren't many of them.
Because of the education she received since she was a child, she has gradually become an indifferent and ruthless person.
If you don't have a cold heart, you can't be an assassin.
These words always lingered in her ears.
So when someone else's suffering happens in front of her eyes, she doesn't feel sad or sad. Even as a Noxian, a member of the initiators, she felt very little guilt, almost nothing.
After all, she has always been proud of Noxus, how can she sympathize with the enemy and feel sorry for the enemy.
But this did not prevent her from thinking about deeper issues.
Since she was a child, she has received an education and accepted the concept of being proud of the country and conquering everything with strength.
To have great power means to have everything.
Born in the upper nobility, her family's portrayal of her concept is deeper and heavier.
The words "Big Noxus for me" have been engraved in her mind almost since she was a child.
Even she thought that sooner or later, she would have to put on her armor and become a member of the invaders and fight for her country.
And, she has been working hard for it since she was a child.
Until her father told her that she was an assassin and that her job was not to go to war, but to deal with the moths and those who threatened the empire for the empire.
So, she thought, in another way, it is also to fight for the country.
Although growing up under this education.
But Caterina is not a puppet, she is not a cold-blooded machine, her brain is flexible, she can think like a normal person, she is not a fanatical imperialist.
When her mission failed, her father wanted to destroy her without attachment and emotion, and Caterina broke free from the thoughts that had imprisoned her since childhood.
She couldn't help but wonder if she was fighting for her father, or for her family and empire.
If one of the three had to be abandoned, Caterina immediately made a choice in her heart.
She will fight for her family, for the empire, never again for the individual.
So, for the first time, she stepped out of the country and headed west.
Just in time for Noxus to launch an invasion.
Along the way, she saw too many slaughters, butcher knives slaughtering human lives, just like slaughtering cattle, sheep and livestock.
She had seen many villages that had been slaughtered without a single person, and some of them could smell the smell of blood wafting from them just by passing by.
It dissipated for days and nights.
As a Noxian, she couldn't assess whether the Empire's invasion was right or wrong.
Because the empire began to do this a long time ago, and this is already a way for many people to survive.
But she had a vague feeling that she didn't seem to know when the empire was moving forward on the wrong path.
