Next.

Luqi woke up sleepy, if not for the lack of time, he would have the idea of resting for a day in Wheel Waldo.

In contrast, as soon as she closes her eyes and opens her eyes, she is the next day's Miss Crown, and her spirit is great.

Early in the morning, she looked energetic.

On the way out of Lunwal, she was used to Luki's sleepy face and yawning all the time.

However, this time, Lux still gave a serious look at Lu Qi's face.

Lu Qi, who looked at Lu Qi with straight eyes, was a little uncomfortable, turned his head and asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

"Did you secretly make some skincare pills yourself?"

Lux looked at him suspiciously, reaching out her little hand to pinch him in the face.

Lu Qi leaned back and looked at her, "Whose big man uses those things?" ”

"Strange." Lux remained skeptical.

After getting along with this guy for so long, she could naturally see at a glance that Lu Qi's face seemed to be different from usual.

It's not that it looks different, but it feels different when you look at it.

Or rather, it's a little more pleasing to the eye.

Usually just sitting there, I can't wait to punch it. Before beating it now, I may have to feel a pity in my heart, it's a pity that this face is ruined.

That's right, that's pretty much what it feels like.

Lux touched her chin with her little hand and analyzed it in her heart for a long time.

"Maybe that's the charm I have nowhere to put it."

Finally, a dragon king smile was hooked at the corner of Lu Qi's mouth, and the narcissistic expression appeared again.

She finally came to a conclusion.

It's still the same owe a beating!

In fact, it's not just her, but several other people have naturally discovered this, but the change is not particularly big, but it makes people want to take a look more than usual.

Lux looked left and right at this time, but found that Wayne was missing, and couldn't help asking, "Where did they go?" ”

"Oh, they have an urgent mission."

So Lu Qi gave a general account of last night's events.

Lux and Kahina, who listened slowly, opened their eyes wide and were a little stunned.

The two girls didn't expect to miss such a thing because of snooze.

It was true that Lu Qi did not tell them about the demons in advance, he did not think it was necessary.

Last night, they searched around the neighborhood and couldn't find Evelyn's whereabouts, and Frey also sent a letter stating that Evelyn had left Lunvol and that they would chase her all the way.

A senior, experienced old demon hunter, and a promising Sentinel of Light, plus one hundred and fifty reliable men.

Luki can safely entrust this task to them.

And Wayne also hopes that she will personally end the hatred of the year.

Lux and Kahina, who already knew about Wayne's background, expressed their support after listening to it, and believed that Wayne would be able to succeed.

By daybreak, Luki's party had left Lunvol and set off in the direction of the city of Tobizia.

It took a little more than a day, and it was faster than when it came.

And when standing in the harbor and looking at the ships, Lux, who had a pale face, finally remembered the nightmare of being ruled by seasickness medicine.

Standing on the boat, her face was already covered with a mask of pain.

Lu Qi watched her drink the seasickness medicine she had concocted, and then her brows were twisted together, and her expression was quite amused.

After patting her on the shoulder and telling her that it would last for about five days, Luci turned to go to sleep for a while.

The days on the ship were boring, and there wasn't much to be done, as if every day was repeated.

But life is like this, counting the monotonous days and living the days.

Some people may suddenly think, "This is not the life I want." ”

Then resolutely prepare to start a brilliant and wonderful life.

Unfortunately, Luqi probably never had such an idea in his head.

He even likes the life of the moment, he likes this feeling of killing time in a boring life, feeling carefree that time is passing.

After about five days on the river, the ship finally returned to the center of the kingdom from the distant border.

The closer you are to the royal capital, the more you feel at peace in your heart.

December 27th.

On a sunny day, Luki's party arrived at the gate of the royal capital.

At the gate of the royal capital, countless people have received the news and are waiting for the triumphant return procession.

From entering the city gate to walking on every street, the roads on both sides are crowded with people, wreaths and cheers continue to sound, and the lively atmosphere is like a festival today.

Just like that day in Lunwo, Luqi rode on horseback, walked in the forefront, bathed in people's eyes, and walked slowly.

Stepping on the familiar street, his mood was also calm.

At this time, Katarina, who did not expect to enter the royal capital of Demacia so smoothly, followed the team and looked around at the scenery of the royal capital.

In fact, she had already seen it on the road, and when she came to the royal capital at this moment, she was even more confirmed in her heart.

Demacia and Noxus are definitely the two most different countries.

From the architecture, to the terroir, to the people, there is nothing in common.

If Demacia is a highly disciplined country, then you can see it by looking at its royal capital.

The streets are full of people, but they don't look chaotic, and no matter how many people there are, they still maintain basic order.

And on everyone's face, all she can see are real emotions from the heart.

Maybe the atmosphere was too festive, which made Katerina a a little uncomfortable at the moment.

Her eyes looked around, and she couldn't help but think that her father might be somewhere in the city at this moment.

In any case, he must be found and the tragedy must be prevented.

Riding on his horse, Luqi made his way straight to the palace with his personal army.

And Lux, who is like an arrow, can't wait to go home, as do Kacina and Saina.

Poppy followed Luki to the palace together.

When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, they arranged for a group of people to enter with them, and the rest of them waited.

Yuna and Caterina were also placed outside.

At this time, Caterina was also looking at the palace, thinking that the king of Demacia was now here.

The palace is very majesticly decorated, the walls, stone pillars, and statues are all made of forbidden magic stones, and there are traces of history on them, telling the long sense of the times of this palace.

Looking at the guards patrolling around, closely and seamlessly monitoring every corner.

Caterina felt that there was probably no assassin who could successfully assassinate at this level of defense.

And Lu Qi had already entered the palace at this moment, heading straight for the conference hall.

Pushing open the door of the conference hall, the ministers sitting in the door stood up in unison.

Even a few people on the octagonal table stood up solemnly to welcome Lu Qi's return.

Looking at the grand greeting of the ministers, Lu Qi smiled at the third who also stood up with a kind smile on his face: "Father, I am back." ”

Gallvin III stepped forward, hugged Lu Qi, and then let go, and looked at him with a proud face: "Good, I am proud of your achievements. ”

Tiana was behind, also looking at Luqi with a smile on her face.

Seeing that he was taller than Gavin III, and was no different from the kid at the beginning, and now he was the primary contributor to Demacia's defeat of Noxus, she was also inexplicably emotional.

She didn't think that this was the credit for forcing this kid in the first place.

She thought in her heart, I'm afraid that even if it weren't for her, this kid Lu Qi would still be standing here today.

The father and son didn't talk too much, after all, there were so many people present.

And Lu Qi also talked about the border matters in general afterwards, and many things are already known to everyone here, but from the mouth of Lu Qi, the person concerned, it naturally feels different.

"What does the dragon look like?"

Some ministers listened to the matter of the demon dragon and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Not even anyone in the room had ever seen a living dragon.

"It can be described as huge, several times larger than the silver winged dragon, and it can swallow a person alive with its mouth open."

Lu Qi's description sounded a bit exaggerated, but he quickly added, "This time, I brought back the skull of the demon dragon, and you will know it after you have seen it." ”

As soon as the words fell, it immediately aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

Soon, the soldiers who followed Lu Qi into the palace carried the skull of the demon dragon in.

And the moment the Demon Dragon's Dragon Bone appeared, even though it had turned into a white bone at the moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall still sank.

Just by looking at it, people seem to be able to imagine the majesty and horror of this demon dragon before its death.

After death, it can bring such a sense of oppression, and people can't help but think about how terrifying the sense of oppression when the demon dragon is alive?

After that, the heavy giant dragon skull was placed on the octagonal table, and it was directly occupied.

The surrounding ministers all surrounded curiously, and several people on the octagon also observed and looked at them closely.

It was indeed very large, it was hard to imagine that this was actually the skull of a creature, and the ministers, who had thought that Lu Qi's words were exaggerated before, also realized the narrowness of their vision at this moment.

"It's so big and hard."

"It's such a hideous and terrifying thing."

"Shhh

The ministers commented, and while reaching out to put it on the skull of the demon dragon, it felt like touching a piece of jade pendant, which was cool and smooth.

And in the audience, there were also many people who felt the magic elements that still remained in the skull of the demon dragon.

After looking at it for a few moments, Eldred pondered for a second before he spoke: "Your Majesty, can I take this demon dragon skull away and study it?" ”

"The person who slayed the dragon is not me, let's ask him this question."

When Jiawen III heard this, he just shook his head slightly, and his eyes pointed at Lu Qi.

He could call the shots, but he didn't want to.

Hearing this, Eldred turned to Lu Qi again, bowed down and said, "Your Royal Highness, can you let me take the Demon Dragon's Dragon Skull away to study one or two?" ”

For the forbidden demons, this skull of the demon dragon is indeed very valuable for research.

The magical elements in it are incomparably new to them.

In response to Eldred's request, Lu Qi quickly responded: "This demon dragon dragon skull, I plan to hang him in the royal capital military camp to boost the army's morale. And this keel, they are also the ones who have the right to dispose of it, and they are the real heroes in the matter of slaying the dragon. ”

Lu Qi didn't intend to take the credit for slaying the dragon on himself, after all, he did not make much effort other than setting up an ambush.

The ones who really charged ahead were the brave and combative soldiers, Sivana who risked their lives to fight the dragon.

Shivana is still outside the country, and she is not ready to come to the royal capital. However, after a while, he should return with Gawain IV.

If so, there are other reasons.

That is, Lu Qi didn't want to give this demon dragon skull to the forbidden demon.

When Eldred heard this, he nodded no longer insistently: "I understand His Highness's intentions. ”

Soon, everyone's novelty about the dragon's skull passed.

According to Lu Qi's meaning, the dragon's skull was sent to the barracks, where it will be hung to cheer up the army.

In the conference hall, King Jiawen III made a certain summary of the Gate of Sorrow incident.

Finally, he looked at Lu Qi and said, "Lu Qi has contributed a lot to the Gate of Sorrow this time, if it weren't for him noticing the movement of the demon dragon early and using it. The two sides do not know how long the stalemate will last, and how many innocent people will suffer during this period. In view of Luqi's outstanding performance, I am interested in promoting him to lieutenant general. ”

Lu Qi has a military rank in the army, otherwise he can't say that he will go to the battlefield when he goes to the battlefield, and he will lead the troops when he says that he will lead the troops.

Long ago, he was already a major general, and now it won't be long before he is promoted to lieutenant general.

It's pretty fast.

But this time, no one objected.

Tiana stood up and was the first to say, "There is no objection to the minister. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Then, more and more ministers came forward to echo it.

Lu Qi's promotion is a certainty.

is different from last time, because this time Lu Qi has made real military achievements.

Together with Jiawen IV, the two joined forces to slay the dragon and destroy hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, recapture the Gate of Sorrow, and kill the enemy generals on the spot.

That's already a good feat.

And the main thing is that merit is not only about killing the enemy.

Without Luki's advance decision, he would not have been able to actively react to Noxus' movements.

In this battle, Demacia was able to end the war with such a small casualty, and it can be said that Luch's credit is also not small.

So, he was promoted to lieutenant general, and no one objected.

Lu Qi came back early, so he rewarded him for his work alone.

Subsequently, after Jiawen IV and them returned, they would have another reward.

In this battle, in addition to Gavin IV, Galen, and Lev, the outstanding performer was Sithria.

On the battlefield, she was brave and fearless, and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and this kind of performance was naturally seen in the eyes of people.

There is no doubt that after the return, what awaits Sislia will be the merit of knighthood.

Lu Qi is sincerely happy for her, and he has always been optimistic about this girl who is always full of fighting spirit for the future.
