LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia

Chapter 253 The Hidden Darkness

It's approaching evening.

Another squad reached Forsbarrow.

There are only eight members in this team, but each of them is well-equipped and looks powerful, wearing shiny armor from head to toe.

The war horses under the crotch are all gray-skinned good horses, with broad shoulders and strong bodies, at least seventeen palms high, wearing the same cobalt blue horse coat.

The leading one has a big sword behind his back.Gold handle, blue scabbard.

It is a very representative weapon.

"His Royal Highness? Lacus?"

The voice of the cavalry came from the helmet, and it sounded a little low. He took off the helmet as he spoke, revealing a black hair and a resolute face.

"Galen?"

After seeing him, both Lu Qi and Lacus expressed some surprise in their tone.

Lu Qi stepped forward and hugged Galen: "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Since the war on the frontier was over, the number of times I met Galen can be said to be very few. He was running around on the mission of the Fearless Pioneer, and even the Crown Defender seldom returned.

A smile appeared on Galen's calm face and said, "I'm also quite surprised."

Lux's voice sounded from the side: "Didn't you say you have something to come?"

Only then did Galen look at her. He hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and a tenderness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he hid it well.

"I just finished the task nearby, and I received a letter asking for help. It happened that the ancestor worship day was approaching, so I wanted to take a look."

As he spoke, he took a look at Lacus, with a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's you, who actually came here."

Lux folded her arms and said coldly: "It's not that you are all looking for reasons to refuse. Besides, why can't I come?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this first."

The two brothers and sisters will always feel a little gunpowder when they meet, and now Lu Qi can see that their relationship is not bad.

After interrupting them with his words, he ushered Garen's squad into the city.

On the way, Galen and the team members looked at Fossbarrow's situation, and they also noticed something strange, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with this town?"

So Lu Qi told the story of the town again. After the devil was involved, Galen and the members of the team became a little more serious.

His team members are naturally born in the Fearless Pioneer, and none of them are simple, and they are all strong players who can stand on their own.

With their joining, Lu Qi's confidence and confidence are also a little bit stronger.

From the current point of view, their only solution is to spend time with the missing demon first. After all, anyone with bad intentions has plenty of time to hide, let alone a demon with great powers.

It is basically unrealistic to find it directly.

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

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

February tenth.

As the sky gradually darkened, the temperature at night was a bit colder than that during the day, and the townspeople in the concentration camp gathered together to chat as usual.

In the past two days, they have not been troubled by nightmares anymore. Both their mood and state are much more relaxed, and they are not so tense.

Some people have already begun to speculate that the devil may have left the town in fear of His Royal Highness and the others.

It's just that Lu Qi has been confirming for the past few days that the demon has not left.

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

Galen's team members drank beer and told their own experiences and adventure stories. Everyone's experience could write a novel.

For these stories, Lux felt a little headache, since she was a child, she didn't know how many times she heard them.

Right now, she was sitting on the side sleepily, boredom written all over her delicate face.

But it was Lu Qi's first time listening to it, and she found it very interesting, and besides Bobby who was very supportive, she was even more interested in these stories.

For example, Diadolu had heroically fought against an entire army of Noxians, and Saibato had killed an abyss maggot.

Varya, an extremely heroic female warrior, once rushed onto the deck of a group of pirates' warships by herself, and burned their ship to the ground. She almost died that time, but finally came back alive.

And Rodion, who sailed north in the winter with a team, set fire to the Freljord town of Frosthaven, as a warning to any marauders who would venture south.

Each story tells of the near-deaths these warriors experienced, which were tests for them and only made them stronger.

This made Lu Qi a little bit emotional, the world is like this, everyone is the protagonist of their own world, and they all bloom in different colors in various places.

At the time of this pleasant chat, a figure hurriedly ran over, expressing her urgency with a fiery look.

It's Judge Giselle.

"Your Highness, have you seen Luca?"

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

Seeing her anxious look, Lu Qi and the others immediately put away their smiles. He thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I only saw him in the morning."

The rest of the people did not speak, obviously answering the same.

Giselle panicked even more now, and she said, "Luka is gone, and there are three other children missing together."

Lu Qi frowned slightly, and asked aloud, "When did you find out that they disappeared?"

"In the evening, when it was getting dark. Before that, they were playing hide-and-seek. I thought they just went to a place a little further away to play, but I searched a lot nearby, but I didn't see them."

The panic on Giselle's face became more and more obvious, and her eyes blamed herself, feeling that she had not looked after several children.

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

She was too tired these days, and she was inexplicably sleepy just now, but Giselle knew that this was no excuse.

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

"Don't panic, 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 outside the town to look for it."

"I see." Giselle hurriedly ran towards the concentration camp.

And Lu Qi and the others didn't delay, they immediately mounted their horses and headed out of the town.

In this case, four children will be lost, and the probability of the devil doing it is very high.

Naturally, Lu Qi couldn't watch everyone all the time. Now that the situation happened, they could only act.

"Galen, you lead the team to protect the town and prevent accidents. For the rest of you, search separately, this way you can find it faster. Also, be careful."

At the gate of the city, Lu Qi ordered.

After hearing his words, Galen and Wei En nodded solemnly and left separately.

A total of nearly two hundred people scattered towards Fossbarrow in all directions.

And Lu Qi, Lacus, Sona, and Katerina went to the forest on the right side of the town, all the way deep.

Riding on the starlight, Lux asked aloud, "Did that devil do it?"

"There is a high probability." Lu Qi nodded: "And it is very possible that it wants to lure us out of town."

Before setting off, Wayne and Frey checked whether there were any traces of dark magic.

But it couldn't be detected, which shows that the demon was very careful in his actions this time.

In the town, everyone stays together, and it has almost no chance of doing anything.

But it's different when you leave the town, and it's still in such a scattered situation.

At this moment, under the darkness of night, the road was not clear, and a layer of dark clouds seemed to condense in the sky, blocking the bright and clear moonlight. The dark clouds gathered together, as dark as a devil's grinning grin.

The farther you leave the direction of the town, the quieter the surroundings become, and the fewer human voices. In the end, there is only the sound of horseshoes moving forward, "da da da", "da da da", accompanied by the cold wind blowing through the leaves " The sound of "cracking" can arouse a layer of goose bumps.

But there was a scent of pine and wildflowers in the air, a sign of spring revival and a gift from the high mountains of the north.

Then there was a smell of earth, a little wet, like the smell after it rained.

Several people continued to go deeper, and the winding mountain road continued to extend to the north.

There was no trace of human activity along the way. About half an hour later, a fork in the road appeared.

One road points to the southeast, and the other road points to the pure north. In the middle of the branch road, there is a small road covered with weeds, which is only enough for a single person to pass.

The appearance of a fork in the road meant that Lu Qi's team had to separate again and move forward separately, so as not to miss those children.

Katerina took the lead and said, "I'll go in the middle."

She didn't know why she wanted to do things for Demacia and this guy, but since she followed her out, she had to do something.

It just so happens that I haven't fought for a long time, if I can meet that demon, I have to test its composition.

After finishing speaking, she waved the horse rope and rushed out regardless of Lu Qitong's consent.

"Then I'll look for it on the right."

Sona's voice entered Lu Qi's mind.

After Lu Qi nodded, Sona set off to the fork road on the right alone.

Lux looked at the road on the left: "Then shall we go to the left?"

"Well, let's go."

Lu Qi nodded again and headed to the left.

"Do you think we can find them?" Lacus was riding on the horse with a worried tone.

"Do your best." Lu Qi could only answer in this way.

"And do you feel that Giselle is hiding something from us." Lux talked about her discovery on the road, "It's about Luka. She doesn't seem to want Luka to appear in front of us too much."

Lu Qi replied: "I can see that she loves her child very much, this is also a kind of protection."

"Is Luka the same as me?" Lux doesn't have the ability to perceive magic, so it's just a guess at the moment: "It's a mage. The way he looked at us that day, he was a little scared."

Activities in the capital regarding the ban on magic are already very slack, and the appearance of demon seekers is not so frequent, but after all, Fossbarrow is located on the border, and the affairs of the capital have not yet been reflected here.

So for Giselle, her child became a demon, which is simply bad news.

In order not to be discovered by Lu Qi and the others, Luka deliberately avoided them these days.

Lacus didn't know how to tell Giselle, at this moment she couldn't help but think that even if the third king really intends to lift the ban on magic.

But apart from the fact that the royal capital was affected a bit, the mages in other places seemed to be still in dire straits.

This caused her to think about it again. She looked down, and there was a light hiding in her fingertips.

Apart from relying on her identity, how is she better than them?

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

"Um"

Lacus nodded, adjusted her mentality, and quietly glanced at Lu Qi's profile.The anxiety in my heart gradually dissipated, and I looked forward.

With him here, she will no longer feel confused.

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

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

Lacus and Lu Qi glanced at each other, and she said first, "I'll choose the right!"

After the selection, the girl set off directly. Under the dim light, her back was full of determination and bravery.

Lu Qi believed that she now had the ability to stand on her own, so she headed for the left road.

Lux kept riding in the forest. In her vision, the color of the forest is actually different, not a single dim, but colorful.

As magic filled her senses, it lit up her world, and the colors of the forest became unnaturally bright and vibrant.

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

The world in front of me is so incredible, all living things are full of vitality in the runoff of energy, no matter it is a nameless grass or a thick iron birch tree.

It is said that the roots of the iron birch go deep into the earth, reaching even to the heart of the world.

This is the world in her eyes, beautiful and colorful.

In this way, she continued to ride forward in the forest, along the slightly muddy road, and jumped over steep roadblocks one after another, while listening quietly in her heart.

Listen to the sounds of this forest.

At this moment, her perception far exceeds that of most human beings. The forest full of colors is full of flickering lights. She feels the distant starlight floating like a mist. These starlights spread in other worlds and shine on other worlds. s life.

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

Lux's intuition kept warning her that there was definitely a dark place hidden there.

"Go over there, Starlight!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lux waved the reins, causing Starlight to accelerate towards the depths.
