LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia

Chapter 244 Do You Have To Ask That?

Time passed like a passing time, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

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

Recently, there have been more newspaper offices in the capital.

With the opening of printing technology, more and more people enter 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 enter the venue first.

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

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

It used to take many days to spread the news, but now it only takes one day.

Bicycles have also launched more and more versions, no longer a single type like the original, but now divided into multiple functions, some are more suitable for long-distance trekking, some are more stable in steep areas, and some are More casual and reasonably priced.

People buy different types of bicycles according to different preferences, and finally the same money flows into Lu Qi's pocket.

There are more and more families using electric lights, and electric lights seem to have a tendency to replace traditional coal lamps.

However, this is bound to take some time.

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

Relying on the battery generator, the consumption is actually a bit high.

Therefore, a more practical steam engine is needed at this time. With the steam engine, a more effective self-excited direct generator can be manufactured.

Can supply power to more lamps at the same time.

Only at that time, the use of electricity, is the real step forward.

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

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

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

Today, the streets of the king's capital are quite lively, and the common people gathered on both sides of the street independently, discussing happily.

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.

The leader was a tall man riding on a steed, wearing a majestic armor, followed by a group of soldiers with impressive aura.

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

"Second brother!"

After Jarvan IV saw Lu Qi, his long-lost miss was also on his face, he rolled over happily from 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 is far more important than this.

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

If Noxus dared to come this time, they would only come and hurt as much as possible.

Besides, with such a big defeat just a while ago, Noxus probably won't come in a short time.

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

But as the First Prince, he naturally couldn't stay in a place like that outside the country for a long time.

This time when he came back, Lev, Galen, Sithlia, and Shivana from the border returned together.

After greeting the first three, Lu Qi looked at Shivana.

Shyvana hasn't changed much from her impression, but this time she came to the capital for the first time, and there was such a big battle when she came here, she was still a little nervous.

"Welcome to the capital."

Lu Qi smiled at her and expressed his welcome: "Don't be nervous, and enjoy your due applause later."

"Yeah." Shyvana nodded lightly, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down her heart.

After some pleasantries, everyone got on their horses and entered the capital.

Like Lu Qi, the return of Jarvan IV was naturally welcomed by the people, who also cheered and applauded with flowers. Even though it has been so long, the big victory on the border has always made people feel very excited.

This time Lu Qi didn't shamelessly follow up and rub it again, he followed far behind the team.

"Who is that purple-skinned woman?"

"do not know."

"She can be tied with Galen!"

"I've never seen her before, and her eyes are so bold."

"Being in the second column must be a great hero who helped us defeat Noxus, so just applaud and we're done."

"that's right."

Shyvana's special nature naturally attracted countless eyes, gathering on her, no matter who it was, they were more or less curious.

Few people can feel a kind of courage coming from her.

That feeling was like the oppression I felt when I went to the military camp to visit the dragon skull.

But soon, curiosity was replaced by cheers and applause.

Jarvan IV rode first on horseback, and those who followed him were naturally those who had made great contributions to the border.

Galen, Lev, and Sisilia Shivana are also listed, and their positions are still very high.

This naturally silently showed her achievements.

And Shivana, at this moment, thoroughly felt the welcome of the people in the capital, and her heart gradually became more at ease.

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

She knew it was inevitable.

Just like she walked into Hill City back then.

So she believes that her actual actions will eventually change the views of these people.

In the crowd, there were even masked people staring at this area.

From her understanding, she learned that these people were in Demacia, and they were called demon hunters.

Whether it was Lu Qi or Jarvan IV, they both mentioned to her that they would definitely be targeted by these demon hunters when they came back.

But the Demon Seeker has nothing to do with Shivana.

Because she is not only a great hero on the frontier, but also a 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, Jarvan IV entered the palace all the way.

After leaving the palace, Lu Qi quickly returned home, but he couldn't rest because he was about to go out again.

city ​​gate.

"This farewell, I don't know when we will meet again, anyway, 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 the words, and the corners of her mouth curved into a half-smile: "So do you want me to go, or do you not want me to go?"

Faced with this 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 dream."

Fiona continued to ask with great interest: "In your opinion, which is more important, me or my dream?"

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

Seeing his expression, the arc of Fiona's mouth completely turned into a smile, she beckoned and got on the horse: "Let's go."

Lu Qi also beckoned, watching Fiona turn around on the horse without any nostalgia, waved the whip, and galloped away towards the distance.

She can leave as soon as she says, and do whatever she says, she will always be such a swift and resolute woman.

Seeing the figure of Miss Jian Ji going away, Lu Qi slowly heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Finally gone!

At this moment, he has the feeling that his daughter-in-law returns to her mother's house and only her husband is left alone at home.

After resting here in the capital for so long, Fiona is going back to Secret Silver City, ready to sprint to the top of the sword list.

After finishing today's work, Lu Qi also felt relaxed, stretched his waist involuntarily, and turned around slowly.

When I got home, it was already afternoon.

Lacus and Kashina are still at the Church of the Illuminators, Katerina is sweeping the yard, and Bobby doesn't know where to play.

Entering the living room, I saw Sona sitting there.

Seeing Lu Qi coming in, the blue-haired girl immediately raised her head, her bright eyes gleamed with flowing light, and she looked at Lu Qi softly.

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

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

Even if the other party has clearly stated that they don't mind the two of them being together, Sona still can't help but run away in shame.

She even felt at some point that Fiona had said that on purpose.

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

Now, Miss Jian Ji has finally left!

"Your Highness~!"

Soon, the girl's joyful voice came into Lu Qi's mind.

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

He sat on the sofa, looked at Sona's twinkling, water-like eyes, and at the girl's slightly flushed cheeks.

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

So in order to prepare for tonight, Lu Qi got up silently, came outside the courtyard, and began to practice his body cultivation skills.

This thing is indeed effective, and Fiona knows best how effective it is.

But the current problem is that this little sword girl is also practicing.

And Lu Qi discovered that Sona was also practicing, and they were more curled than each other. If Lu Qi wanted to become stronger, he could only curl more.

Lu Qi, who was practicing body cultivation, also felt quite sad at the moment.

In the end, he was the one who was injured.

This thing is obviously more beneficial to women.

Recently, there has been an upsurge of body cultivation techniques in the yard. Lacus and the others have all joined in. After practicing for a while, everyone can find that this body cultivation technique is indeed good for the body.

Therefore, the situation of performing the health cultivation technique like Lu Qi every day has become the status quo of the yard.

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

"Your Highness, I have a letter from you."

Hearing this, Lu Qi stepped forward and took the letter from the messenger soldier.

It was not from Panis at a glance, and after knowing the details, Panis forgave Lu Qi for not replying.

The two often exchange letters. Of course, she is not the only one who writes letters, she also writes to Lacus and the others.

The logo on the envelope is very simple, and there are two small names written on the left side of the letter - Wei En.

Back in the living room, Lu Qi opened Wei En's letter and briefly read the contents.

It has been almost a month since Lu Qi assigned Wei En to chase down the demon Evelyn last time, and Wei En also wrote a letter during this period.

This is the second letter.

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

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

These people tend to go missing for long periods of time without being noticed, so this became her main target on the run.

Even so, because of the pursuit of Wei En's team all the way, she didn't have time to hurt more people.

And just a while ago, the team had a direct conflict with her.

After some fighting, Wei En noticed that Evelyn's strength hadn't increased much, and she seemed to be still affected by the injury she suffered a month ago.

However, Evelyn's escape method was very strong. After some fighting, although the team had no casualties, they only injured Evelyn, which was not serious. In the end, they could only watch her escape.

When writing this letter, Wei En is still on the way of pursuit.

She believed that as long as she clung on like this, she would be able to kill this demon for real sooner or later.

Lu Qi believed she could do it.

After closing the letter, Lu Qi began to think a little.

In fact, with Evelyn's current situation, it might be a better way to leave Demacia.

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

What is the reason for this?

After thinking for a while, he didn't come up with any reason, so Lu Qi stopped thinking about it.

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

Looking at his right hand, part of Evelyn's strength now resides in it.

Could it be for this?

The possibility is still quite large.

But with Wei En and the others chasing them all the way, Evelyn might not be able to spare her energy to regain her strength.

Putting Wei En's letter away, Lu Qi leaned on the sofa, relaxing all over, listening to Sona's music, feeling the warmth of the fireplace, and took a nap.

Until Lacus, Kashina and Poppy came back together, crisp voices intermingled together, waking Lu Qi from his nap.

Bobby turned out to be looking for Lacus and the others.

Now that the three of them came back, they immediately moved to the front of the fireplace and began to warm up.

"It's still comfortable at home. It's been getting colder and colder outside lately."

Lacus put her hands in front of the fireplace, the warmth dispelled the coldness on her body, and her pink face also rose and rosy.

"Yeah, I heard that the temperature in the south has picked up."

Kashina nodded, the same small face full of comfort.

The two girls were chatting about temperature.

It was almost mid-January, and the temperature in the capital hadn't changed much from a while ago because of its proximity to the north.

And the south has begun to warm up.

The passage of time always makes people feel unreal.

Memory often likes to stay in the last moment.

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