It was approaching evening.

Another squad arrived in Fosbayro.

The team was small in number, only eight, but each one was well-armed and looked powerful, wearing shiny armor from head to toe.

The horses under the crotch were all gray-skinned horses, broad-shouldered and strong, at least seventeen palms high, and draped in the same cobalt blue horse coat.

The leader of the man with a big sword behind his back. Gold grip, blue scabbard.

It is a very representative weapon.

"His Royal Highness? Lux? ”

The cavalryman's voice came from his helmet, which sounded a little muffled, as he took off his helmet, revealing a face with black hair and fortitude.

"Galen?"

When they saw him, both Luci and Lux spoke with some surprise.

Lucci stepped forward and hugged Galen, "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Since the war on the border, he has seen Galen only a handful of times, and he has traveled so far and wide that he rarely returns to the Crowned Guard.

A smile appeared on Galen's calm face and said, "I was quite surprised, too. ”

Lux's voice rang out from the side: "Didn't you say something was not coming?" ”

Galen looked at her at this time, he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and a touch of tenderness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he hid it well.

"I just finished a mission nearby, and I received a letter asking for help, and it happened that the ancestor worship day was approaching, so I thought about coming and seeing."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lux, a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's you, on the contrary, who will come here." ”

Lux hugged her arms and said with a cold face: "It's not like you're all looking for reasons to excuse yourself. Besides, why can't I come? ”

"Alright, let's not talk about that."

The brother and sister always smell of gunpowder when they meet, and now Lu Qi can see that they are not actually on bad terms.

After interrupting them, he welcomed Galen's party into the city.

On the way, Galen and the team members looked at the situation of Vosbyro, and they also noticed something unusual, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with this town?" ”

So Lucci recounted the events of the town again, and after involving the demons, Galen and the members of the team became a little more serious.

His team members are naturally from fearless pioneers, and each of them is not simple, they are all strong people who can take charge of themselves.

With their joining, Lu Qi's confidence and confidence are also more sufficient.

At present, their only solution is to spend time with the demon who is missing, after all, anyone with bad intentions has plenty of time to hide, let alone a demon with great powers.

It's basically unrealistic to find it directly.

However, during this time, Lu Qi and the others can also prepare more.

Lu Qi had thought that this would be a protracted battle, but he didn't expect that after only two days, the demon had already lost his patience.

February 10.

As it got darker, the nights were a little colder than the day, and the townspeople of the camp gathered together to chat as usual.

In the past two days, they have not been plagued by nightmares anymore, and their mood and state are much lighter, and they are not so tense.

Some people have begun to speculate that the demon may be jealous of His Royal Highness the prince and has left the town.

It's just that in the past few days, Lu Qi has always confirmed that the demon has not left.

At the other end, a bonfire was lit, and Lu Qi and the others sat around the bonfire, watching the flickering flames and chatting.

Several members of Galen's team are drinking beer and telling stories of their own experiences and adventures, and each person's experience can be written into a book.

Lux had a headache at all these stories, and she didn't know how many times she had heard them since she was a child.

At this moment, he was sitting on the side, and his delicate face was full of boredom.

However, it was the first time for Lu Qi to listen to it, and she thought it was quite interesting, and with a special Bobby sitting next to her, she was even more interested in these stories.

For example, Diadoru once fought valiantly against an entire army of Noxians, or Sebato killed an abyssal maggot.

Valya, a valiant warrior, once rushed onto the deck of a group of pirates' warship and burned their ship in a fire, which nearly killed her, but she returned alive.

and Rodion, who sailed north in the winter and set fire to the town of Freljord, Frost Harbor, as an example of any marauders who dared to invade the south.

Each story tells the story of the lives of these warriors, and for them these are tests that only make them stronger.

This made Lu Qi feel a little emotional, the world is like this, everyone is the protagonist of their own world, all in various places, blooming with different colors.

Just as the atmosphere was chatting, a figure came in a hurry, and her anxious appearance told her eagerness at the moment.

It's Judge Giselle.

"Your Royal Highness, have you seen Luca?"

She stopped panting, her brown hair a little messy, and her expression full of worry.

Seeing her anxious look, Lu Qi and the others immediately put away their smiles, he thought about it, and then shook his head: "No, I only saw him in the morning." ”

The rest of the men did not speak, apparently answering the same thing.

Now Giselle was a little more panicked, she said: "Luca is gone, and there are three children who are missing. ”

Lu Qi frowned slightly, and asked out loud, "When did you find out that they were missing?" ”

"In the evening, when it was getting dark. Before that, they were playing hide and seek, and I thought they had just gone a little further away to play, but I didn't see them after a long look around. ”

The panic on Giselle's face became more and more obvious, and his eyes were very self-reproachful, feeling that he had not taken a good look at several children.

In this situation, she shouldn't be so careless, but just a nap and they were gone.

She was too tired these days, and she was even more sleepy just now, but Giselle knew that this was not an excuse.

Now that she thought that the four children were missing, and that the demon might not have left, she felt very uncomfortable and guilty.

"Don't panic yet, you go and notify everyone in the town and let them search the whole town." Lu Qi stood up and quickly began to dispatch: "Let's go look outside the town." ”

"I see." Giselle hurriedly ran in the direction of the concentration camp.

And Lu Qi and the others did not delay, and immediately mounted their war horses and headed towards the outside of the town.

In this case, four children will be lost, and there is a high probability that the demon will do it.

Lu Qi naturally can't watch everyone all the time, and now that the situation is happening, they can only act.

"Galen, you lead the team to protect the town from accidents. For the rest of us, go and search separately, so that you can find it faster. Also, be careful. ”

When he reached the gate of the city, Luci commanded.

After hearing his words, Galen and Vayne all nodded solemnly and left.

Nearly two hundred people scattered in all directions of Forsbyro.

Luci, Lux, Saena, and Caterina went to the mountains and forests on the right side of the town, all the way deeper.

Riding above the starlight, Lux asked, "Was it the demon's hand?" ”

"There's a good chance." Lucky nodded, "And most likely, it wants to lure us out of town." ”

Wayne and Frey checked to see if there were any traces of dark magic before they set off.

But it couldn't be detected, which means that the demon was very careful this time.

Inside the town, where everyone stays together, it hardly gets a hands-on chance.

But leaving the town is different, and in such a scattered way.

At this moment, the road was not clear at night, and a layer of dark clouds seemed to condense in the sky, blocking the bright moonlight, and the dark clouds gathered, dark like the devil's grin.

The further away from the direction of the town, the quieter the surroundings become, the less human voices there become, and in the end there is only the sound of horses' hooves moving forward, "da-da-da", "da-da-da", accompanied by the "whoosh" sound of the cold wind blowing through the leaves, which can arouse a layer of goosebumps.

But the air is filled with the scent of pine and wildflowers, a sign of spring recovery and a gift from the mountains of the north.

Then I smelled a smell of earth, slightly moist, like the smell of rain after the rain.

The group continued to go deeper, and the winding mountain road continued to extend to the north.

There was no sign of anyone along the way, and after about half an hour, a fork in the road appeared.

One road points to the southeast, the other points to the pure north, and in the middle of the fork there is a path covered with weeds, which is only large enough for a single person to pass.

The presence of a fork in the road meant that Luki's team had to separate and move forward separately in order not to miss the children.

Caterina was the first to say, "I'll go in the middle." ”

She didn't know why she was doing things for Demacia and this guy, but since she came out, she had to do something.

It's been a long time since I've been fighting, and if I can meet that demon, I'll have to test what it's made of.

After saying that, she didn't care whether Lu Qitong agreed or not, waved the horse leash, and ran out.

"Then I'll look on the right."

Sona's voice came to Luki's mind.

Luki nodded, and Sana set off alone towards the fork in the road on the right.

Lux looked at the one on the left and said, "Then let's go to the left?" ”

"Well, let's go."

Luki nodded again and headed to the left.

"Do you think we can find them?" Lux rode on her horse, her tone a little worried.

"Do your best." That's all Lucci could answer.

"And do you have any sense that Giselle is hiding something from us?" "It's about Luca, she doesn't seem to want Lukka to be in front of us too much. ”

Lu Qi replied: "You can see, she loves her children very much, and this is also a kind of protection." ”

"Is Lukka the same as me?" Lux doesn't have the ability to sense magic, so it's just a guess at this point: "It's a mage, and he looked at us that day, and he was a little scared." ”

The activities of the royal capital regarding the ban on demons are already very relaxed, and the appearance of the demon seekers is not so frequent, but after all, Phosbyro is located on the border, and the affairs of the royal capital have not yet been reflected here.

So for Giselle, it was bad news that her child had become a demon stainer.

In order not to be discovered by Luqi and them, Luca has deliberately avoided them for the past few days.

Lux didn't know what to say to Giselle, and at this moment, she couldn't help but think that even if the third world really intended to lift the ban.

But except for the royal capital that has been affected a little, the mages in other places still seem to be in dire straits.

This caused her to think about it again, and she looked down to see a glimmer of light quietly hidden in her fingertips.

In addition to relying on a layer of identity, how much better is she than them?

Lu Qi glanced at her sideways: "Don't think about it so much, the matter of forbidden demons will be solved sooner or later, now get those children back first." ”

"Hmm"

Lux nodded, adjusted her mind, and quietly glanced at the side of Lucky's face. The uneasiness in my heart gradually dissipated, and I looked ahead.

With him, she won't feel lost anymore.

After another half hour, a new fork in the road appeared.

This time there are only two left and right, but one up and one down.

Lux and Luci looked at each other, and she said first, "I'll pick the right!" ”

After choosing, this girl set off directly, and in the dim light, her back was full of perseverance and bravery.

Believing that she now had the ability to take charge of herself, Luki headed for the left path.

Lux kept riding in the forest, and in her vision, the color of the forest was different, not a single dim, but colorful.

When magic filled her senses, it lit up her world, and the colors of the forest became unusually vivid and vibrant.

She could see small balls of light floating in the air, and hear the breath of the trees and the sighs of the earth.

The world in front of me is so incredible, and all living beings are alive and well in the runoff of energy, whether it's nameless grass or stout iron birch trees.

It is said that the roots of the iron birch tree are so deep in the ground that they can even reach the heart of the world.

This is the world as she sees it, beautiful and colorful.

In this way, she kept riding forward in the forest, following the slightly muddy road, jumping over steep roadblocks, and listening quietly in her heart.

Listen to the sounds of this forest.

At this moment, her perception far exceeded that of most humans, and the flickering light jumped in the colorful forest, and she felt the distant starlight drifting like mist, and these starlight were scattered in other worlds, shining on other life.

Finally, she felt something, and the light in the depths of the forest fluttered slightly, as if shrouded in a shadow, which made Lux frown.

Lux's instincts constantly warn her that there is definitely a place where darkness is hidden.

"Go over there, Starlight!"

Without hesitation, Lux swung the reins, sending Starlight faster into the depths.
