Time passed like a white horse, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year has gradually diluted with the passage of time, and people's lives have become dull.

Recently, there have been more newspapers in the royal capital.

With the opening up of printing technology, more and more people are entering the venue.

Although Wangcheng Daily has great influence, there are always things that cannot be included, and these are naturally divided up by the newspapers that entered first.

A piece of cake was gnawed off by Wangcheng Daily, and the rest was distributed to other newspapers.

The development of the newspaper industry also means that the speed of information dissemination in Demacia has greatly accelerated, and now except for some villages, even the towns have the shadow of newspapers.

News that used to take days to go viral now takes only one day.

There are also more and more versions of the bike, no longer as it was at the beginning, but now it is divided into multiple functions, some are more suitable for long walks, some are more stable on steep sections, and some are more casual and affordable.

People buy different kinds of bicycles according to different preferences, and the same money ends up in Luki's pocket.

There are more and more households using electric lamps, and electric lamps seem to have a trend to replace traditional coal lamps.

However, this is destined to take some time.

Because if you want to do that, you have to face new technical problems.

Battery-based generators are actually quite expensive.

Therefore, at this time, a more practical steam engine is needed, and after having a steam engine, it is possible to manufacture a more effective self-excited direct generator.

It is possible to power more lights at the same time.

Only then will the use of electricity really take a step.

However, that day will not be too long, and the talents of the scientific research institute have been developing and improving the steam engine day and night, and now it is thriving.

I believe that it will not be long before the steam engine can officially enter people's lives.

The changes that the steam engine can bring are the most intuitive.

Today, the streets of the royal capital are quite lively, and the people gather on both sides of the street independently, happily discussing.

And at the gate of the city, Lu Qi waited here for a long time.

As time passed, a bunch of figures gradually appeared on the other side of the horizon.

At the head was a tall man on a horse, wearing imposing armor and followed by a group of soldiers with great aura.

Seeing this, Lu Qi greeted him with a smile on his face: "Big brother, welcome back." ”

"Second brother!"

After Jiawen IV saw Lu Qi, his face also showed long-lost longing, and he happily turned off his horse and hugged Lu Qi.

After a month, he finally returned from the border.

Although he missed the belief of celebration, in his opinion, the stability of the border was far more important than that.

Today, the area around the Gate of Sorrow on the border has been completely stabilized, and the Gate of Sorrow, which serves as a line of defense, has strengthened its defenses and troops.

If Noxus dares to come this time, then they will only come and hurt a lot.

Besides, after such a big defeat a while ago, Noxus should not come in a short time.

In fact, Jiawen IV didn't want to come back so early, after all, he had already missed the New Year.

But as the eldest prince, he naturally can't stay in a place outside the country for a long time.

When he returned, Lev, Galen, Sisleya, and Sivana from the border returned with him.

After saying hello to the first three, Luci looked at Shivana.

Sivana has not changed much from her impression, but this time she has come to the royal capital for the first time, and it is such a big battle, so she can see that she is still a little nervous.

"Welcome to the royal capital."

Lu Qi smiled at her and welcomed, "Don't be nervous, enjoy the applause you deserve later." ”

"Hmm." Shivana nodded lightly and took a few deep breaths to calm her mind.

After some greetings, everyone turned over and got on their horses and entered the royal capital.

Like Lu Qi, the return of Jiawen IV was naturally welcomed by the people, and the flowers were cheered and applauded, even after so long, but this great victory on the border has always made people feel excited.

Lu Qi didn't shamelessly follow up this time, and rubbed it again, he followed the team from a distance.

"Who's that fuchsia skinned woman?"

"I don't know."

"She's on a par with Galen!"

"I've never seen her before, and she has so much courage in her eyes."

"Being in the second column, it must have helped us defeat the big hero of Noxus, and it was over with applause."

"That's right."

Shivana's special nature is that it attracts countless eyes and gathers on her, no matter who she is, she is more or less curious.

A few people can feel a kind of courage coming from her.

It was like the feeling of oppression I felt when I went to the barracks to visit the dragon skull.

Soon, however, curiosity was replaced by cheers and applause.

Gavin IV was the first to ride a horse, and those who followed him were naturally those who had great achievements on the border.

Galen, Lev, Heathrie. Shivana is also on the list, and she is very high.

This naturally and silently shows her merits.

And Shivana, at this moment, thoroughly felt the welcome of the people of the royal capital, and her heart gradually became steady.

Although she could see it, many people were still suspicious and uneasy about her special skin.

She knew it was inevitable.

Just like when she walked into Hill City.

Therefore, she believes that her practical actions will eventually change the views of these people.

In the crowd, there were even people wearing masks staring at this piece.

From what she learned, she learned that these people were in Demacia, called Demon Seekers.

Both Lu Qi and Gallvin IV had mentioned to her that they would definitely be targeted by these demon seekers when they returned.

However, the Demon Seeker Nashivana naturally has no choice.

Because she is not only a great contributor to the border, but also a close confidant of the two princes, it can be said that she has the protection of the royal family, so she is naturally safe.

In this way, Govin IV went all the way to the palace.

After leaving the palace, Luci quickly returned home, but could not rest yet, as he was about to leave again.

City gates.

"This farewell, I don't know when we will be able to meet, in short, we will go all the way."

With tears in his eyes, Lu Qi stood in front of Miss Jian Ji and said goodbye.

Fiona raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a smile but not a smile: "So do you want me to go, or don't you want me to go?" ”

Faced with this kind of proposition, Lu Qi replied without thinking: "Of course I don't want you to go." ”

He didn't give Fiona a chance to speak, and quickly added with a serious expression: "But I don't want to delay your dreams." ”

Fiona continued to ask with interest, "Then in your opinion, which is more important, me or my dream?" ”

“.” Lu Qi was silent for a moment, and said speechlessly, "Do you have to ask that?" ”

Seeing his expression, the curvature of the corners of Fiona's mouth completely turned into a smile, beckoned, and turned over on the horse: "Let's go." ”

Luqi also beckoned, and watched Fiona turn around on horseback without any nostalgia, and with a wave of her whip, she galloped away into the distance.

Just go, do whatever you say, she will always be such a resolute woman.

Looking at Miss Jianji's distant figure, Lu Qi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally showed a little smile on his face.

Finally gone!

At this moment, he has a feeling that his daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' house, leaving her husband alone at home.

After resting for so long in the royal capital, Fiona is also going back to Miyin City to prepare for the first place in the sprint sword list.

Today's business is over, and Lu Qi is also relaxed, and he can't help but stretch his waist and turn around slowly.

When I got home, it was already afternoon.

Lux and Kacina were still at the Illuminator's Chapel, Caterina was sweeping the yard, and Poppy didn't know where to go.

When I entered the living room, I saw Sana sitting there.

After seeing Lu Qi come in, the blue-haired girl immediately raised her head, her bright eyes flashed with streamers, like water and light, and looked at Lu Qi softly.

These days, she has fully experienced what it means to be unattainable.

In front of Miss Kenji, she always has a natural weakness.

Even if the other party has already made it clear that they don't mind the two of them together, Sana still can't help but avoid it in shame.

She even felt like Fiona was saying that on purpose at some point.

In short, after so many days, she can only look at each other from afar.

Now, Miss Jian Ji is finally gone!

"Your Highness~!"

Soon, the girl's delightful voice reached Lu Qi's mind.

He could clearly hear that Sana's tone today was more excited and excited than usual.

He sat on the sofa and watched Sauna twinkle and her watery eyes and the girl's slightly reddened cheeks.

Suddenly realized, it seemed that Fiona was gone, and he couldn't rest.

So in order to prepare for tonight, Lu Qi silently got up, came to the outside of the hospital, and began to practice self-cultivation techniques.

This thing does have an effect, and Fiona knows best how good the effect is.

But the problem at the moment is that this thing Sword Ji Chick is also practicing.

And Lu Qi found that Suona was also practicing, and they were more curly than one by one, and if Lu Qi wanted to become stronger, he could only be more curly.

Lu Qi, who was practicing self-cultivation techniques, was also quite sad at the moment.

In the end, the injured person is still him.

This thing is obviously more beneficial to women.

Recently, there has been a craze for body cultivation in the courtyard, and all of them have joined in, and after practicing for a while, everyone can find that this body cultivation technique is indeed good for the body.

As a result, the situation of self-cultivation techniques like Lu Qi every day has become the status quo of the courtyard.

After the body cultivation technique was over, the figure of a messenger in the distance gradually approached, and soon stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

"Your Royal Highness, there is your letter."

Hearing this, Lu Qi stepped forward and took the letter from the messenger's hand.

At a glance, it was not Panis's, and after learning the details, Panis forgave Luci for not replying.

The two often corresponded in letters, of course, she was not the only one to write letters, but also to Lux.

The logo on the envelope is simple, and on the left side of the letter are two small names - Wayne.

Back in the living room, Lucky opened Wayne's letter and looked at it briefly.

It's been almost a month since the last time Lucci assigned Wayne to hunt down the demon Evelyn, and Wayne has also written a letter during this time.

This is the second one.

The letter said that some time ago, the team tracked Evelyn's traces, and Evelyn did not leave Demacia for a month.

And in order to avoid attracting attention, she only dared to attack some wild wanderers and wanderers, or some unpopular people with criminal records.

These people often go missing for long periods of time unnoticed, so this became her main target on her escape.

Even so, because Wayne's team followed closely all the way, she didn't have time to hurt more people.

And just a while ago, the team clashed head-on with her.

After some fighting, Wayne noticed that Evelyn's strength had not increased much, and it seemed that she was still affected by the injury she had suffered a month earlier.

However, Evelyn's means of escape were very strong, and after some fighting, although the team did not suffer casualties, it only injured Evelyn, which was not serious, and in the end she could only watch her escape.

At the time of writing this letter, Wayne was still on the way to pursue.

She believed that as long as she was so tightly entangled, sooner or later she would be able to truly kill this demon.

Luki believes she can do it.

Closing the letter, Luki began to think slightly.

In fact, with Evelyn's current situation, leaving Demacia may be a better way.

But a month has passed, and she still hasn't left.

What is the reason for this?

After thinking about it for a while, but not coming up with anything, Luki didn't continue to think about it.

After all, he is not a demon, so how can he know what a demon thinks.

Looking at his right hand, Evelyn now had some of her power in it.

Could it be for this?

The possibility is still quite large.

However, with Wayne and the others chasing all the way, Evelyn is afraid that she will not be able to spare her energy to regain her strength.

Putting Vayne's letter away, Luki leaned back on the couch, relaxed, listened to Saina's music, felt the warmth of the fireplace, and took a nap.

Until Lux, Kahina, and Bobbi return together, the crisp voices mingle and wake Luki from his slumber.

Poppy had gone to find Lux.

When the three of them came back at this moment, they immediately came to the fireplace and began to warm up.

"It's still comfortable at home, but lately I've been feeling colder and colder outside."

Lux put her hand in front of the fireplace, the warmth dispelled the coldness on her body, and her pink little face rose and flushed.

"Yes, I heard that the temperature in the south has warmed up."

Kahina nodded, her face full of comfort written on her same little face.

The two girls were chatting about the temperature.

It's almost mid-January, and the temperature in the royal capital hasn't changed much since a while ago because of its proximity to the north.

And the south has begun to warm up.

The passage of time always gives people a sense of unreality.

Memories often like to stay in the last moment.

Before you know it, winter seems to be coming to an end.
