Half a month later.

"I saw it, I saw it, look at it."

Lux stood at the front of the deck with Anne in her arms, her eyes shining with joy and excitement like a child.

In her eyes, the outline of a huge port city had been vaguely outlined, and that was the destination they had been at sea for so many days - Piltover!

Hearing the movement, Luci got up lazily from the sun lounger and yawned.

It's a boring time at sea, and fishing is one of Luki's most abundant pastimes.

Anne and Lux, the Son of Destiny, love to play this game, and it has to be said that in addition to their amazing magical talents, they also get along very well in daily life.

Luci walked towards the front of the deck, and a cool sea breeze was blowing in front of him, and his eyesight was better, so the outline of the city was clearer.

The most eye-catching thing is the towering huge sea gate, which spans the sea and connects the two continents, surrounded by countless tall and low buildings, which look dense at a glance, like a honeycomb.

That's the most famous building in Phi City, the Gate of the Sun.

This sea gate alone has brought unimaginable wealth to the city.

After all, whether the ship on this side wants to pass over, or the ship on the other side wants to pass, it has to pass through this gate.

Of course, this is not overbearing, the tax on passing ships is only for cargo ships, merchant ships, transport ships, passenger ships, etc. who want to trade through Picheng.

For other ordinary boats, there is basically no charge.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Gate of the Sun and the Leather City that it attracts countless visitors from all over the world.

As the ship continued to move forward, the outline of the Sungate became clearer, and it looked even more magnificent.

It has obviously been carefully built over many generations to achieve such a large scale.

The walls of Noxus are generally built very tall and very strong, and they look very domineering.

But compared to the gate of the sun in front of you, it is completely inadequate.

A ship under the gate of the sun looks like an ant.

At this time, because of Lux's cheers, many people have come to watch.

After leaving the battlefield and returning to a relaxed life tone, their hearts that had been tense for a long time gradually relaxed again.

After a little further along, a ship suddenly came straight in this direction.

When it was about to approach, the boat slowed down, and on closer inspection, it was a small and medium-sized sightseeing boat, and the appearance of the ship was particularly pleasing to the eye.

On the ship, a man dressed in the costume of a magistrate and looking like a high-ranking official appeared, and then he said respectfully: "Is it Demacia's fleet?" I wonder if His Royal Highness the Second Prince is on the ship? ”

His voice was clearly heard through the speakers on the hull of the ship, and it reached Lu Qi's side.

When Lu Qi heard this, he responded: "It's me, the first time we met." ”

"First meeting, Your Royal Highness." The magistrate said in a rather polite manner, "I am the representative in charge of bringing you and the rest of your guests at sea, Slap Lacazette. I'm going to lead you to Piltover. Please come with me, it is expected to take another half an hour to arrive. ”

As he spoke, the ship under his feet had begun to turn, changed direction, walked ahead of Luffie's fleet, and began to lead the way.

Lu Qi naturally didn't have any opinions, and ordered him to follow, and Picheng sent people from afar to guard him, obviously with his heart.

Meanwhile.

On the Gate of the Sun, the members of the council and the high-ranking officials and nobles who received the news in advance were already waiting here in advance.

The leader, Heimerdinger, stepped on a wooden box and looked out into the sea in the distance, as if he could see the approaching Demacia.

There is a clean red carpet on the floor, surrounded by musicians on both sides, ready to play at any time.

At this time, everyone is treated in formal attire.

Mel waited silently in the ranks of the councillors, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw so many people looking forward to it.

Even when her mother came, she had never been treated like this by Picheng.

And on the other side.

Cassandro tidied up the shirt of her daughter beside her, who looked a little impatient, and said solemnly: "Caitlin, this opportunity is something I finally won for you. If you do well, then there will be nothing wrong with the rest of your career, so don't go wrong. ”

When Caitlin heard this, she was already a little numb and said, "I know, Mom, you have emphasized it to me at least ten times these days. ”

"Because the situation is different this time, the other party's identity is noble, and I will arrange you to be her escort, if there is a little problem."

Cassandro stopped at this point, looking at her with a serious look in his eyes.

"I know, don't say it, it's making me a little nervous." Caitlyn naturally knew that something was wrong, and her family probably couldn't afford it, so she couldn't help but pout her lips again, "In that case, why do you want to throw this trouble to me." ”

"Trouble?" Cassandro glanced at her and said angrily, "Do you know that this opportunity is something that many people can't dream of?" ”

Caitlyn muttered, "Then why don't you give it to those people." ”

Cassandro still heard it, and warned her sternly with his eyes: "I know you want to make a career on your own, but wouldn't it be better if you had a good start?" ”

"I know you're doing it for my good."

Caitlyn hugged her mother and sighed again.

But she didn't like this kind of life that was arranged from start to finish.

She hopes to become a police officer who solves cases all the way, gradually breaks into fame, and then makes a name for herself in Picheng.

Instead of patrolling the streets every day, catching thieves and stopping street vendors, the law enforcement officers are now arranged to be other people's bodyguards.

Moreover, if the protection is not done properly, not only will no benefit be obtained, but there will even be no unwarranted disaster.

But

Looking at the serious expressions of everyone around her, including her little hair, Jace also stood beside Heimerdinger with a serious face.

Caitlyn's heart couldn't help but be a little curious about the second prince.

There is no doubt that judging from the reception of this scale in Picheng, the other party's high status is scary.

She also knows something about Demacia's recent affairs, after all, there was a lot of uproar some time ago, and the newspapers in the city were all reporting on it, and I heard that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Noxus were wiped out with the touch of a finger.

Although the statement is a bit exaggerated, this record is real.

No matter how you think about it, this is an army of hundreds of thousands, which is more than the population of Phi City, not counting those outsiders.

Now the prince, who has made Noxus suffer greatly, is coming to Piltover.

Caitlin couldn't help but make up the image of the prince, and she had recently become obsessed with the profiler, who portrayed a person through her understanding of him.

Some people say that he kills people like hemp, and he must have vicious eyes, and he often has a dark face, giving people a very bad feeling.

Some people say that he has repeatedly defeated Noxus, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he used soldiers like a god, and it is very likely that he has a big waist and a good momentum, which is similar to those imperial generals in ancient times.

A fleshed out image in Caitlin's mind was gradually completed.

He is two meters tall, weighs three hundred pounds, wears Demacia's silver armor, is fierce, has thick arms that can pinch a cow to death, and his eyes are sharp and fierce, because he has seen a lot of life and death.

When the portrayal was over, she suddenly realized a problem and shuddered.

If this prince is really like this, then he is obviously not easy to get along with.

So what should I do?

was arranged to be by his side, in case he was upset at any time, this is a murderous lord who does not blink.

Caitlin, whose brain world is quite rich, the more she thinks about it, the more terrifying it becomes, and finally she thinks that she may be sent to prison, with chains on her hands and feet, and she will be beheaded every day, and her mother can only cry silently in the audience, and her white hair is a little paler.

No, it can't be like this.

Caitlyn came back to her senses, hesitated, and reached out to tug her mother and tell her if she could change it.

However, at this time, Cassandro didn't notice that the daughter next to her was making up her brain frantically, and when she heard the movement, she immediately reached out and patted Caitlin: "It's almost there, get ready." ”

Catelyn was thrilled to notice that the group in front of her was indeed noisy, and soon fell silent again.

Underneath the Gate of the Sun.

Lucci's flotilla was taken to a special passage.

"You can disembark, these shipwrights from Kayak City will take care of the repairs."

Slap disembarked early and was already under Luki's boat to greet him.

The road was all ready, and naturally there was nothing to bring with him, so Luqi put on a formal dress and got off the boat.

After that, Lux and the others followed curiously.

On the way here, they could see that all kinds of ships were docked or traveling in the port, and there were quite a lot of ships coming and going.

The Gate of the Sun is also very large, and they are now at the foot of the Gate of the Sun.

Slap glanced at Luqi's face at this time, and then immediately lowered his head slightly and said, "Please take the elevator in front, in order to welcome your arrival, the councilors and representatives of the nobles of Picheng have already waited in advance." ”

A lift, in fact, is an elevator.

Picheng has naturally learned about the use of electricity very early, which can be said to be quite convenient.

The crowd stepped on the lift, and as Slap darkened down the floor. With a click, the sound of electricity and gears running at the same time sounded, and after a slight shaking, the elevator started towards the top floor.

Everyone was a little curious about the lift, but it was not too surprising that with Demacia's current level of technology, it was also possible to use electricity to start the lift.

It's just that it was delayed by the later events of magic and technology.

Lux was a little curious: "Could it be that there are other layers of the Sun Gate?" ”

Slap replied respectfully, "Normally, there are three tiers, and one is for the fleet, which is where we were before, and ships pass between them. The second level is for civilians, as the Sungate connects the two continents, and it is also used as a huge bridge. The third layer is a fast track for those who are willing to pay to save time. ”

"It can quickly get to the most developed neighborhoods in Picheng, and it is usually crowded with people. However, today, in order to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness, the council has temporarily disabled the second and third layers. ”

As Slap explained, the elevator was getting higher and higher, but the crowd couldn't see what was going on under their feet or around them.

I had to wait silently, and soon, with a 'ding dong', the elevator shook again and stopped.

The iron gate in front of him slowly opened, and a red carpet was visible to the eye.

"Your Highness, they are in front of you, please come with me."

Slap said as he bent down and made a gesture of please. After seeing Lu Qi nodding slightly, he got up and walked forward.

Following the red carpet and turning the elevator floor, you soon saw the spacious corridor at the top of the Sungate.

The corridor seemed large and wide, and not far ahead, a large group of people had gathered, all of whom seemed to have come to greet Luci.

Dressed in a dress and dressed up a little, Lu Qi is naturally very eye-catching.

As soon as he appeared, all eyes converged on him, and after a few glances, he dispersed behind him.

The group was not only Luki, but also Lux, Sauna, Yuna, and Quinn. They are all dressed in formal attire, after all, they are visiting Picheng as a distinguished guest, which can be said to be very eye-catching.

"Ready, go!"

"Welcome to Piltover, everyone!"

With two gestures, the musicians standing on either side raised their trumpets-like instruments, mustered all their strength, and blew violently.

Suddenly, the sound of coordinated music emanated, like a festival, full of festive flavor.

Along the way, the welcome song sounded all the way.

And with the appearance of Lu Qi, a pair of eyes were immediately focused on him, Caitlin, who was stunned for a moment.

What she saw was a smiling, gentle, handsome young man, his body straight, his figure and height seemed to be just right, he looked a little strong, and he was more valuable to wear a luxurious gown.

Those eyes are like stars in the night, with a smile, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

This is the second prince?

Caitlin admits that she was stunned for a moment, not only because it was completely different from what she expected, but also because his appearance and temperament were indeed amazing.

And the female companions around him are also all of extraordinary beauty, the girl with bright blonde hair, who laughs like angels, and her eyes are like bright stars.

And the blue-haired woman, gentle as water.

and the little Lori in a skirt, delicately carved in pink, like a doll.

On the other hand, wearing a gray-black sheriff's uniform, wrapped in tights, and wearing a rustic hat, she remembered that she had been insomnia in the past few days, and she must have had dark circles again.

The skin is also dry, and it must have shrunk.

These thoughts came to her, and Caitlyn unconsciously buried her head a little, sighing in her heart.

At this time, she remembered that the skin care products that her mother had prepared for her were good, and now they were in the cabinet in her bedroom, and I was afraid that they would be piled up with dust.

When I was young, I didn't know how thick the sky was, and I felt that my mother was naturally beautiful, and she was just as beautiful if she didn't wipe it.

But now, just by looking at others, you are about to be ashamed of yourself.

Although she was only nineteen years old, Caitlyn felt that she had aged a lot at this moment.

A young girl's cranky thoughts go unnoticed.

At this time, Lu Qi walked on the red carpet, and on the opposite side, under the leadership of the short old man with blond hair, the team that greeted him was also all the way forward.

"Welcome to Piltover, His Royal Highness. I am Heimerdinger, one of the councillors of Pietville, and I am here to represent Piltover, and I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and my companions. ”

Heimerdinger extended his hand as he gave him a warm welcome.

"Hello, Congressman Heimerdinger."

Luch also reached out and shook hands with Heimerdinger.

The meeting of history seems to have taken place at this very moment.
