So the two of them had breakfast, and together they set out on the road back to the camp in Demacia.

It was morning, there were no people around, it seemed very quiet, and the path seemed long and long.

They walked one after the other.

Lucci walked ahead, trying to slow down as much as he could. Anne followed behind, hugging the teddy bear, her big eyes casting a look at Luki.

I just glance at it every now and then.

Seeing this, Lu Qi stopped, stretched out his hand to Anne, and said with a smile: "Let's go together." ”

Anne immediately understood his invitation, and without hesitation, she also extended her little hand.

The big hand and the small hand shook each other, and the two stepped on the path, moving forward like relatives, which made Anne's pace much lighter.

As he walked, Lu Qi found a topic and said, "Annie, do you know magic?" ”

"Magic?" Anne tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Is the big brother talking about the one from last night?" ”

"Not bad." Lu Qi nodded and said, "The land we live in is called the Land of Runecraft. The Land of Runeterris is composed of various magical energies, and because of this, many people like Anne with magical talents have been born in the world. ”

Anne realized that the flame she used was called magic, and she couldn't help but lower her head and said, "Many uncles and aunts showed expressions of disgust for Anne when they saw my magic. ”

She has been taken in by many families, but every time she shows her talents, those who take her in, will show a . Abhor.

In Anne's opinion, it is so.

Most people who knew that she could do magic wouldn't bother with her too much.

These people reminded her of her stepmother, who occasionally gave her a similar expression, and it was only later that Anne understood that it was called disgust.

So later, Anne rarely stayed too much in a household, and she became more and more estranged from human relationships.

At one point, it was thought that it would be enough for her to have Tiebs there.

But man is not a cold and heartless creature after all, not to mention that Anne is still a child.

After living alone for too long, she became more and more eager to find a similar partner.

Until Luki appeared, in Anne's eyes, he was an interesting and mysterious big brother.

So, Anne wanted to 'mess around' with him.

"Because there are many people in this world who have no magical talents, and these people make up the majority."

Lu Qi said patiently, "So magic is a very dangerous force for these people. Many, many years ago, magic hurt so many people that they still fear and hate magic today. It's not Anne that they hate. ”

Anne was a little sad and said, "Is my magic a bad thing for everyone?" ”

"Of course not, your magic is a talent given to you by God, a treasure that belongs to you alone. Besides, there are people who hate magic, and there are people who like magic. Lu Qi smiled softly and said, "It's just that there are too many people who use magic to maliciously hurt others, so all magicians are implicated." ”

After hearing this, Anne immediately said seriously: "Anne, don't be such a person. ”

"Anne certainly wouldn't be like that." "In short, you have to cherish your magical talents, but you also have to learn how to control them. ”

Anne's knowledge of this was scarce, as she had lived in seclusion with her parents, and even after her father married another wife, she had never been exposed to more knowledge, including magic.

And because her knowledge of magic is limited, she doesn't know how dangerous her unfathomable magic can be to others.

Sometimes, it hurts well-meaning people.

"Uh-huh." Anne nodded her head obediently in response, and her eyes flashed with a beautiful brilliance.

No one had ever told her that before.

Lu Qi then said, "When I go back, my brother and I will introduce you to many friends who also have magic." ”

Anne's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said happily: "Great! ”

She was full of hope that she could find a partner similar to herself.

Two days later.

In the early morning, the woodland is a little more foggy, and the moist air wafts into the nose with the smell of plant green, which is quite refreshing.

At the camp where Demacia was stationed, many soldiers got up early and began morning training.

The training sound of "Drink, hey, hey" sounded non-stop.

The discipline of Debang soldiers usually does not need to be maintained, and the consciousness of each soldier is far beyond ordinary people.

Luki walked into the camp with Anne and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

And Anne also looked at Demacia's camp with the same curious gaze, and vaguely noticed that it was different from Noxus.

"Your Highness."

Along the way, the soldiers all bowed to Lu Qi, and at the same time, when they saw the pink little girl, they had the urge to pinch her face.

Lu Qi nodded in response.

Listening to the name of Luki, Anne's eyes lit up at once, just like the title of a prince in a fairy tale.

Is Big Brother really a prince?

She was pleasantly surprised.

Soon, Luki met Quinn who was walking towards him, followed by Suanna, and the tent of the two was together, and if they wanted to wake up, they would wake up together.

"Your Highness, you're back."

When Quinn saw Lu Qi, he immediately greeted him, and then saw Lu Qi again, and was slightly stunned: "This is"

Before Lu Qi could speak, Anne had already introduced herself obediently: "Hello two sisters, my name is Anne." ”

"Hello."

Quinn crouched down and gently touched Anne's head, not asking her any more questions.

Anyway, it's the person His Highness brought back, and it looks like it's still a harmless little Lori, what can be the problem.

"What a lovely little girl."

Sana also smiled at Anne, her eyes exuding tenderness, and she reached out and touched Anne's head.

She had the ability to telepathize with her mind, so she immediately sensed a kind of pain and loneliness in Anne's heart, as well as an extraordinary magic, surging like a flame.

Anne looked up at Sona, and when she saw a face that was as gentle as water, she felt a burst of liking in her heart, so she smiled sweetly at Quinn and Sauna.

"Where's Lux?"

Lu Qi asked at this point.

Quinn replied, "I guess I'm still sleeping, Miss Crown Guard usually sleeps until noon these days." ”

"Good"

Lu Qi thought for a moment, and an idea came to his mind.

So he immediately took Anne and set off to Lux's tent.

Before that, he made a little preparation.

Lux sleeps in a tent with Bobby and Yonna, and the two soon notice Lucky, who is dressed in disguise, and realizes that this guy is afraid that he is trying to do something bad.

But no one stopped them, and they all acted as if they didn't see it, and they were busy with their own things.

Arriving at the entrance of the tent, Lucci picked up Anne and walked quietly inside.

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw Miss Corona, who was sleeping soundly face up.

Anne also saw her, and also blinked, only thinking that this sister was so beautiful, and she looked so good when she slept.

She cooperated with Lu Qi and did not make a sound.

Lu Qi had already quietly come to the front, then put down Anne, and then shook her shoulder unceremoniously: "Wake up, wake up." ”

Anne noticed that Lucie's voice was a little rougher, full of mature flavors.

At this time, Lux was swimming in the sea of dreams and food, and was intoxicated, when she was suddenly woken up, and her consciousness was in a trance.

As soon as I opened my eyes, with a strong sense of sleepiness, I first saw a little Lori at the head of the bed with a finely carved face and bright eyes and bright teeth, looking at her with big eyes and curiosity.

In a blink of an eye, it seemed that I saw a person who looked very similar to Lu Qi.

The reason why it looks like it is because his facial features are similar, but he looks older, and he has two more mustaches under his nose.

The age looks like he's in his thirties and forties.

She was in a state where she had just woken up and her brain was not functioning, so she heard Lu Qi say in a deep tone: "You finally woke up, I didn't expect you to sleep for so long this time, it has been ten years." ”

“？”

Lux put a question mark on the spot, and his eyes, which were not smart, looked even more confused at the moment, "What are you talking about?" What decade? ”

"I've tried every day for the past ten years to wake you up, but to no avail." Lu Qi sighed softly, his voice with a sense of sadness that wiped the years, looked at Anne and said, "This is my daughter, Anne, called Auntie." ”

Anne was extremely obedient, and shouted obediently in a childish Loli voice: "Hello Auntie, my father and I have come to see you many times over the years." ”

She also knew that with Lu Qi, her eyes were full of innocence when she spoke, and she didn't look like a deceitful person at all.

The voice fell.

"Boom", Lux only felt a thunderbolt slash down, and her whole body was not good.

She sat up from the bed at once, and clearly saw Lu Qi's aging face and the sadness in his eyes.

Then I looked at Anne's face, Lu Qi's face, Anne's face, looked left and right several times, and finally saw that Anne did look a little like Lu Qi!

Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is a faint similarity!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, another thunderbolt struck.

Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she said blankly, "How can this be. I slept for ten years."

After so many years, Lu Qi even has a child?

He. How can this be.

Inexplicably, he became an elder and was called an aunt by Lu Qi's children.

If she could, Lux didn't want to be called that.

She felt that her mind was in a mess, her heart was also in a state of doubting her life and her worldview collapsing.

"It's happened, and there's nothing anyone can do."

Lu Qi sighed lightly and patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "A lot has happened in the past ten years. ”

Lux's first reaction was to look at Anne and ask, "Who is her mother?" ”

Lu Qi said: "It's a woman I met when I returned to Demacia after fighting Noxus, and I'll introduce you to you in a moment." ”

"Ahh

Lux never expected this to happen, she lowered her head, looked confused, and her heart was even more chaotic.

For a moment, she wanted to cry.

But soon, as the confusion passed, and the IQ regained the high ground of Miss Crownguard's mind, she suddenly noticed that the scene around her was somewhat familiar.

Seeing her start to look left and right, Lu Qi said calmly: "You couldn't wake up in the tent back then, and later in order to prevent you from feeling unfamiliar with the outside world after you woke up, which caused a memory gap, we specially simulated the environment when you were sleeping at that time. ”

Anne said this one after another, and Anne's big eyes flashed, but she also found it very interesting.

"Really."

Lux nodded confusedly, and suddenly reached out and reached down to Lucie's nose.

Lu Qi suddenly leaned back, but she was still caught by her lunge, grabbed his beard with one hand, and pulled hard.

In an instant, a few beards were forced off by her, and the sound of Lu Qi gasping for air rang out.

Lux looked at the few mustaches in her hands and was dumbfounded.

How is it true?

She thought that Lu Qi must have lied to her, and that the beard must be fake.

But looking at Lu Qi covering his nose and grinning in pain, it was completely real.

At this moment, Miss Crown's mentality has once again undergone a subtle change.

As soon as she woke up, she suffered such a big blow that she was stunned.

However, with many years of accumulated experience, she is not the immature little white she was at the beginning.

Even if Lu Qi did this job and invited such a cooperating young actor, she always looked at him with some suspicion.

even threatened: "If I know that you fool me, I will fight with you." ”

She showed a look of really-desperate eyes, fierce.

When Lu Qi heard this, he smiled calmly and said, "I don't want to give you a surprise and let your life experience a special wake-up." ”

When the words fell, Lux immediately gritted her teeth, and her stomach was already full of fire when she got up early in the morning.

This slut really fooled her!

Early in the morning gave her such a big mood swing, which made Lux already on the verge of anger!

But soon, she noticed that Anne on the side was always looking at her with simple big eyes, and she forcibly held back the anger that was about to explode.

Image, maintain the image.

She forced a smile: "Thank you so much." ”

I'll surprise you next time, slut!!

She turned to look at Anne and smiled a little more genuinely, "Your name is Anne, isn't it?" It's so cute. ”

Anne also smiled sweetly: "My sister is so beautiful." ”

"Ah, this kid is really good at talking."

Lux was in a better mood all of a sudden, and reached out and pinched Anne's face unceremoniously, which was tender and felt quite good.

"My name is Laxana, and you may call me Lax."

"Sister Lux."

Anne screamed again.

Compared with the gentle Sana just now, she could feel that the Lux in front of her was more like her.

With a natural intuition, she seemed to be able to see the light shining on Lux.

Looking at the straightforward and lovely Annie, Lux felt relieved, and also felt that this little girl was unusual, but she didn't care, but said seriously: "It's decided, from now on, you can follow me!" ”

"Mix?" Anne shook her head and said, "Anne has already messed with her brother. ”

Lux glanced at Lu Qi and snorted coldly: "Which green onion is he, follow my sister and me, and keep your fragrant and spicy food in the future." ”

Anne's eyes blinked, "My brother said the same thing to Anne." ”

Lux glanced at Luki again, and then looked at Anne: "It's okay, let's ignore him, of course the girl has to play with the girl." ”

When Anne heard this, she also nodded happily: "Okay! ”

At this time, Lu Qi was thinking about whether to add a few lines of defense in his tent, otherwise he would always feel unsafe, or unsteady.

But he didn't notice that Lux had quietly begun to snatch the place in Anne's heart.

At this time, Lux reached out and poked him and asked, "Where did you kidnap Anne from?" ”

"What's the matter, how can it be called a crutch."

Luci came back from his thoughts and emphatically said, "I have never done such a thing, Anne, did you say that I abducted you?" ”

Anne said, "No, it's Anne herself who wants to follow her brother." ”

Looking at the well-behaved Anne, Lux liked it from the bottom of her heart, although she had only met for a short time, she had already decided in her heart.

If you have children of your own in the future, you must have a girl like Anne.

Lu Qi said: "In short, from today, Anne will officially join our Demacia family. ”

It didn't take long for the entire Demacia camp to know that the camp had ushered in new members.

It's a little Lori carved in pink.,It's very cute.。

Everyone gave her a warm welcome, and they would greet her cordially, and Anne responded politely.

Luci was also given an urgent task to make a dress for Anne as soon as possible.

The clothes on her body had been worn for a long time, and they even didn't fit well, and she had to change them.

It just so happened that there was a logistics team in the camp, and there were many people who had worked as tailors, and they promised to make a dress suitable for Anne to wear in the morning.

Anne, on the other hand, was quickly taken by Lux to learn backgammon.

It's been too long since Miss Crownguard has encountered a game of chess against her opponent (no one can play it), so after seeing Anne, her dusty heart was touched again.

Backgammon is not very difficult, so even Anne is quick to learn.

Even, she learns quickly, because Anne is a very smart little girl.

So the duel between the two, from the beginning of Lux quickly resolved the game, to the later time became longer and longer.

This made Lu Qi, who had taken a few looks, feel that it would not be long before Miss Crownback would not even be able to get off the child.

Sadly shaking his head, and without looking any further, Luci went to find Tiana and Lev.

Informed the two of them that Noxus was preparing to send out a living weapon.

As for living weapons, they agreed that they were similar to Sain's.

I'm afraid that normal means can't be killed, and I have to find a way to solve it.

The morning passed by in a flash, and as it was near noon, Anne was ushered into a tent that had been prepared to bathe her.

The one who bathed Anne was Yulna, who, as a maid, seemed to know how not to arouse the emotions of a small child to resist.

And Anne did not resist.

During the bath, Anne behaved very well-behaved, and her eyes never took off the teddy bear.

Both her brother and sister respected her very much and did not force her to be separated from Tibbs.

Tibbs has always been well cared for, so even though the teddy bear looks a little old, it's always clean.

She knew that Luqi and the others were doing it for her good, and although it had only been a morning at the camp, Anne had a little like it.

Everyone here looks pleasant, it is not deliberately shown because of Lu Qi's identity, but a kind of tenderness emanating from his bones.

Although Anne is small, she is unusually sensitive to feelings.

She could clearly feel that the people here were different from those before her.

Early in the morning, several aunts measured her body.

After taking a shower, she changed into clean clothes, a well-sewn pink skirt that fit much better than the one she had worn before.

She happily shared with the teddy bear, "Tibbs, I have new clothes." ”

Anne, who has changed into new clothes, looks a little cuter, and she can't find any flaws at all, which is particularly attractive.

Holding a teddy bear, no matter where she goes, someone wants to give her a meeting gift.

But Anne didn't ask for it, but just accepted a few of her favorites, such as milk.

And that's with Lucky's consent.

Just by walking around the camp, Anne has achieved milk freedom.

When she was preparing lunch, she was sitting on a bench, her little short legs not touching the ground, and her expression was wrestling with whether to drink another bottle of milk.

She had already drunk three bottles, and although she still wanted to drink them, she wouldn't be able to eat later.

She's struggling here.

On Luki's side, he briefly introduced Anne's situation.

When Lux heard that Anne had lost her parents and had been alone for a long time, her compassion overflowed.

She had helped many of these children at the Illuminator Chapel, and now she had quietly decided to help Anne.

"In contrast, her situation is a little more special."

Luki glanced at Anne over there and said, "She has a talent for magic that other children don't have, and I'm afraid it's the strongest." However, I lacked knowledge and instruction in this area, and I was worried that she would go wrong because of this, so I decided to stay with her. ”

Lux was surprised: "So powerful? ”

"It's amazing." Lu Qi nodded and said, "Basically, it's about the same as you." It's just that she controls the fire element, and at the same time, she doesn't recognize the danger of magic. ”

Lux has awakened light elemental magic, a very rare element.

There are few famous mages who can control the light in history.

Without this kind of teaching, even she was at risk of magic getting out of control from time to time.

And the reason why Anne can control the fire element so accurately is not only because of her super talent, but also because Tibbs is also helping her control the element.

But even then, there is still a risk that she will get out of control.

At this time, it is necessary to accept the teaching of magic.

After listening, Lux immediately patted her chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me, and I'll teach Anne how to control magic." ”

In this regard, she already has a lot of experience.

After all, he is already a person who has come over.

That's what Lucky's intentions were, and it seems that Anne was very fond of Lux as well.

In the afternoon, the clear sky suddenly became cloudy, and it didn't take long for it to rain.

Observing the weather, it may rain heavily in the evening, so the plan to officially move the army in the afternoon and continue to advance has also been postponed until waiting for the rain to stop.

When it rains, people don't run around the camp.

They all sat in sheltered from the rain, looking at the raindrops that kept falling, and their thoughts grew.

Anne sat under the shelter and watched the raindrops fall, very quiet.

She hated the rain, because she and Tiebs would get drenched, and the hollow would be wet and it would be difficult to sleep.

After roasting over a fire, it will have a strange taste.

In short, she doesn't like rainy days.

Suanna was sitting not far away at this time, with a delicate guqin-shenghua standing horizontally on her slender and plump thighs.

Listening to the sound of the rain falling, she gradually composed a score in her heart.

So, he raised his slender hand and gently hooked it on the strings.

Suddenly, a beautiful note emanated, attracting Anne's attention.

She cast her curious gaze and saw Sana ready to start playing.

As the movements of Suanna's hands gradually fluctuated, gradually accelerating, bursts of beautiful melodies came out.

It didn't take two days for Anne to be fascinated.

She had never heard such a nice melody, and even the sound of rain became part of the melody.

Gradually, she was brought into the music.

In a trance, she returned to a small but warm wooden house, and she lay asleep in a cradle bed in a room, and it was very quiet outside until it began to rain.

Falling raindrops 'snapped' against the window.

She burst into tears.

Then a woman walked in, her face unclear, but gentle.

She gently picked her up, gently shook her from side to side, patted her with her right hand without force, and hummed a familiar ballad.

She could vaguely see a gentle smile on the corner of the woman's mouth, it was so beautiful, her every move exuded incomparable gentleness, and the smell from her body was also very good.

Gradually, she fell asleep again.

Everything is vague and not blurred, as if it is really happening in front of you, and it seems to be very far away.

At this moment, the melody emanating from the strings resonates with the reverberating lullaby.

Unconsciously, a few teardrops the size of beans fell from Anne's eyes, slid down her face and dripped onto the teddy bear.

"Annie, why are you crying?"

Lux, who was immersed in the song, suddenly noticed Anne crying, and hurriedly sat down to wipe away her tears, "What's wrong?" ”

Sana also stopped playing.

Anne came back to her senses, felt the concern of Lux and the people around her, and shook her head: "It's okay, Sister Suanna's playing is so good, it makes Anne think of her mother." ”

Lux gently hugged Anne in her arms and whispered, "We will always be with you." ”

After half a ring, Anne looked back at the rain curtain.

Although I thought of my mother, I was not sad at all, but had a warm feeling.

She doesn't remember how long she has been, she hasn't dreamed of her mother.

She thinks it might be because of Sister Sana's music.

"Sister Sona, I want to continue listening to your music."

Anne looked at Sana and said obediently.

Sana looked at her gently, nodded slightly, and then her jade hand landed on the strings and continued to play.

In the rain curtain, the beautiful melody exudes a warm smell, and the people around are listening attentively.

The same is true of Anne.

Looking at the falling raindrops, at this moment, she suddenly. I don't hate the rain so much.
