Chapter 61 Galen: Do you want a wife or not?

Lestara didn't know when she fainted. She only knew that as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the beautiful and haggard faces of her two daughters.Their eyes were filled with sadness, worry and pain.

Lestara didn't speak, but was stunned for a long time.

This pure white ceiling reminded her of something... The walls of the King's main palace, the Hall of Valor, were also so white...

Hall of Valor...

--------------------------------------

[At that time, I was young and energetic, fearless, with a fire burning in my heart, which seemed to radiate the light of justice and drive away all the clouds of worry. So that day I met Barrett Bouvier for the first time. 】

[He was quietly watching beside King Jarvan III, who had just been crowned fourteen days ago. The caller shouted my name, and I immediately strode into the Hall of Valor.There was a fleeting expression of approval from both young men - I knew I was attractive at that age, but I did my best to keep my good looks in check.

The young king looked tired, probably bored from dealing with the dissatisfaction of various noble families all day long. 】

[Jiawen did not speak immediately, but waited for Barrett to say something in his ear.All I could see was the outline of Barrett's left side, his body leaning forward toward the king.It was then and always has been.

"Lestara de Moishe," Jarvan's voice was loud and clear, echoing through the forbidden magic stone and marble walls surrounding the spacious hall.

"Why are you here today?"]

【"For your inaction."】

[I remember that they immediately became energetic.Jiawen's eyes widened and his eyebrows reached into his crown.Barrett also opened his eyes wide, and pressed a hand firmly on the king's shoulder.

"I didn't do anything?" Jiawen asked in a tone that was half puzzled and half joking. "What did I not do? It has just been fourteen days since the coronation ceremony. How much can I do during this period?"]

["You have been king for two weeks, and you still haven't cared about the suffering of your people."]

[He glanced up and thought he had guessed me.There must have been many noble ladies visiting the king these days, hoping to improve themselves and their family's status, and he must have been tired of them. "I cannot canonize members of the Demoise family for no reason. I have said the same thing to other visitors today many times. If you serve the kingdom with your military exploits..."]

["I'm not talking about nobles." I interrupted Jiawen rashly.Please God forgive me for this rude and stupid behavior. 】

[Barrett faced me face to face for the first time, and his face was full of surprise.I still remember the shining armor on his body, with the distinguished Barrett family crest printed in the center of his chest.The glow shines like a diamond.Like his eyes. 】

["I'm talking about your people." I said to the king:

"There are many people in Demacia who are homeless and unemployed, but you turn a blind eye to them and do nothing. You only use your time to mediate disputes among noble families.

"There are many good, honest people who live on the streets or sneak into granaries to take shelter. If you really want to make your kingdom a better place, you have to put these people first..."

"Rather than those who already have enough food and clothing."]

[Barrett Bouvier chuckled, and then read my name: "Lestara de Moise...a nice name."]

[This is the first time I heard him pronounce my full name.

And the last time was...]

--------------------------------------

"His Majesty the King plans to hold a funeral immediately after his father's body is returned..."

Kashina lay tiredly beside the bed, her red and swollen eyes unable to squeeze out a single tear, and only her hoarse voice told of her pain.

"Well..." Lestara gently stroked the top of her daughter's head.She knew she had to be strong now.

She sat up from the bed and stared at the pure white ceiling again in a daze.

After a moment, she shook her head. "I will go to see the king in the afternoon...I will tell him that he needs to mourn the dead marshal first. His love for my husband should not obscure his responsibilities to other people, let alone those who performed their duties with their own swords and souls. people."

Kashina raised her head and opened her mouth slightly.She looked a little surprised, but she didn't say anything.

Lestara did not explain anything more to her daughter.

What she knows...actually...

The real reason is that I can't stand that terrible feeling——

Once the funeral was held, he was really dead...

Chen Ce finally arrived in the capital of Demacia.

This magnificent city is more prosperous than the royal capital of Noxus. Every house and brick is neatly arranged, and the people coming and going appear orderly.

It's just that the atmosphere isn't that good.

In other words... the atmosphere at this time is not so good.

On the one hand, it is sadness, on the other hand, it is reflected in strict control.

Yes, recently various towns in Demacia have been very strict with outsiders - especially Xiongdu, where no one can enter without any valid reasons.

Maybe Jarvan III didn't want anything unexpected to happen at Barrett's funeral?possible……

But no matter what, this had no impact on Chen Ce.

Because he has demonic powers.

He can pry into the [truth] in people's hearts.

Facing the gatekeeper's interrogation, he can directly rely on his ability to spy on the truth to tell the answer the other party wants.

Although this ability is currently at a very low level and its effect is slightly less effective, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

It may be a bit impractical to directly see the "hearts" of strong people such as Syndra and LeBlanc, but it is definitely not a problem to see ordinary, normal humans.

Then, it is not difficult to sneak into the capital of Demacia.

You even get a sign for gaining the gatekeeper's trust - a sign that proves you've been vetted.

With this thing in hand, even if he is suspected by other soldiers later, he will be safe.

"The devil's power is really good..." Chen Ce squatted in an inconspicuous alley again as usual.

And he squatted for three whole days.

When you are thirsty and hungry, use [Future Market] to borrow some gold coins to go to the tavern next door to get some food, and continue squatting after eating.

To be honest, this feels uncomfortable.

But fortunately...it's going to end today.

In this early morning when the sun has not fully risen yet.

I stayed there for three days just to find out everything and find a suitable opportunity.

"It's now……"

When a tall figure came from the corner of the street, Chen Ce walked out of the alley at the same time.

Then, by a very "coincidence", the other party was shocked.

The tall man couldn't dodge, so he could only lean back to avoid the collision, and the kettle in his hand accidentally fell out of his hands.

Chen Ce, who was well prepared, just pretended to be surprised.

Then quickly turn sideways, bend down, and reach out, all in one go.

While avoiding a collision, he also caught the opponent's nearly broken kettle.

He has rehearsed this set of moves in his mind many times.

The timing of the other party's appearance, the route and speed he walked, and what he was holding... he already knew it clearly.

"What a risk..." Chen Ce handed over the borrowed kettle, "I almost bumped into you. I'm very sorry."

The tall man had a look of astonishment on his face, "Oh... thank you... I should have said sorry, I was a little anxious..."

While speaking, he also looked at the young man in front of him with surprise.

This reaction speed, this skill... really good...

While the man was observing Chen Ce, Chen Ce was also observing him.

He is over two meters tall and has strong muscles all over his body. He wears a set of thick heavy armor made of mithril. The inner lining is a pure blue shirt, which he occasionally wears alone during training...

He would walk through this street on time at six o'clock every morning, and his destination was the Fearless Pioneer Regiment barracks in Xiongdu.

He is a well-known swordsman throughout Demacia and an outstanding son of the Crownguard family.

His name is...

Galen Crownguard.

"Is it...Swordsman Captain Galen?" Chen Ce pretended to be surprised.

"Well, it's me." Galen nodded, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Is this your first time meeting me?"

"Yes!" Chen Ce swallowed, showing a feeling of being awkward in speaking: "I know you...but this is the first time I see you...I have heard about your deeds! You are respectable !”

"Ahem...um..." The sudden compliment made Galen a little overwhelmed, but he was not too panicked - he had heard a lot of similar compliments since he became the first swordsman captain.

Rather than being humble or proud, what he cares about now is the identity of the person in front of him.

"Perhaps this is the first time I see you... You are very unfamiliar. I pass by here every day, and I am already familiar with the residents in this area, but I don't seem to have seen you?"

"Because I just arrived in Xiongdu..." Chen Ce made an embarrassed expression again, "I haven't even found a place to stay..."

"Outsiders?" Galen was satisfied with his accurate guess.He took the sign handed to him.

It was a sign issued by the gatekeeper, proving that the young man in front of him entered Xiongdu through legal channels, and it was completely worthy of belief.

"Well...I'm from Ionia...you know, Ionia was invaded by Noxus some time ago, and it was destroyed beyond recognition...I want to try my luck elsewhere... ..." Chen Ce said again.

"That's it." Galen nodded, not having much doubt about this statement.

There was even a hint of sympathy.

He knew Ionia, and the closeness to nature made him fond of that place... and the invasion of Noxus made him feel sorry for that beautiful land.Her dearest sister often helped poor people who had escaped from Ionia.

But...he can't help everyone.

Not to mention a young man with sound limbs.

"I'm glad to see you, but maybe I should go." Galen pointed in the direction of the military camp, "I still have to start today's training."

After saying that, he took steps again.

Chen Ce calmly stopped him again, "Wait a minute, Swordsman Captain Galen..."

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Galen stopped patiently.

"Well...I think...I want to make a deal with you..."

"What deal?"

"I want to sell you something...the price...I don't want money, I just ask you to give me a place to stay..."

"Huh?" Galen turned back with interest.In fact, he was not in a hurry to go to the military camp - today was a pilgrimage day, so he should actually rest.

And Chen Ce also knew this.

So it took three days to wait for this day.

"What do you want to sell me?" Galen showed a hearty smile.

In fact, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to give him any big treasures, but... just help if you can.

"A weapon..." Chen Ce lowered his voice, "A very good long-range weapon... produced by Piltover..."

"It sounds a bit mysterious, why not take a look?"

"certainly……"

After getting the answer he wanted, Chen Ce put his hand into his coat.

Then a unique-looking revolver was taken out from inside.

[Hai Technology Revolver]

"A powerful revolver..."

"Gun?" Although Galen is in Demacia, which advocates traditional martial arts, he has never seen such a thing.

His good friend Jarvan IV had previously shown him a batch of guns sent by Piltover.

As for the power... well, it can only be said to be good?

It may be more powerful than the average person's bow and arrow, but it is also very limited and inconvenient.

"This is not an ordinary revolver." Chen Ce added, "It is driven by magic power, and it is perfect for use with the Forbidden Magic Stone... You don't need to worry, it does not fall into the category of magic. It has also been approved in Pi City and is legal. Compliant weapons.”
