It was sunset, and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually dwindled as the light faded.

"But...I don't want to see Aunt Tiana now..."

The girl's tone sounded like she had something to hide.

Chapter 77 Aunt Tiana, you don’t want Lux either...

It was late at night, but Garen had not yet left the training ground of Prince Jarvan IV of Demacia.

Not only because their training today lasted from morning to evening, but also because they just heard an interesting thing - just when Galen was preparing to go home.

[An outsider who occupied Xiongdu Bridge for several days in a row and defeated no less than twenty duel masters and kingdom knights finally suffered a defeat today. 】

This news came from the Demon Searching Corps - several senior officials of the Demon Searching Corps, who excitedly reported the matter to the royal family.

Because the people who frustrated that "powerful outsider" were the people from their Demon Search Corps - they suspected that the outsider was a black magician, so they went out to check.

Just beat him up.

Well...at least they said "beating".Haha, just listen to half of the credit.

The words "Demon Searching Corps" have been at the forefront of the limelight in recent days, and Jarvan IV also attached great importance to it.

As soon as he heard that it was someone from the Demon Searching Corps again, he who was about to take a rest suddenly became energetic.

Then Galen naturally can't "get off work on time" - who makes their relationship not only a superior and subordinate relationship, but also a good brother relationship?

"The Demon Search Corps is really in the limelight recently..."

Jarvan IV took the report sent by the Demon Searching Corps and couldn't help but marveled.

"He has gained power and expanded, and he has also won over a large number of fringe nobles. Today he gave me another surprise... Eldred, why didn't I discover his talents before? He is not even the father of the king. It's all been 'hidden', haha."

All Jarvan IV said were compliments, but his tone revealed a feeling that something was not quite right - but the honest and upright Galen failed to hear it.

The tall swordsman scratched his head and praised: "Captain Eldred is Aunt Tiana's husband. He has always devoted himself to Demacia... Gold always shines. , right? He finally got his chance."

"Yes, opportunity..." Jarvan IV squinted his eyes and rolled up the report in his hand into a roll, then handed it to the brother beside him. "Let's take a look at this powerful newcomer. He has solved a big problem that even the duel master cannot solve."

"I've heard about that powerful outsider...let me see..." Galen took the parchment and looked at it with curiosity.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

At second glance, it felt a bit familiar.

At the third glance, he exclaimed loudly: "Chen Ce?!"

"Huh?" Jarvan IV on the side was startled by the shout, "Why are you so surprised... What, do you know this person?"

"We know each other! Of course we know each other!" Galen tried his best to lower his voice, but he still looked very excited. "He was the one I recommended to the Demon Search Corps! Just a few days ago! I knew he could definitely make a difference!"

"Huh? You recommended it?" Jarvan IV was even more surprised.

"Yes, when I met him, he was too poor to eat or live in a house... He was very depressed at that time, but I saw that he was very skilled, so I recommended him to the Demon Search Corps!"

"So...you just met him a few days ago?"

"Yes."

"Then you are not afraid of him..." Jarvan IV pointed to a few lines of small print on the report - a description and personal information about Chen Ce. "Did you come to Demacia with evil intentions?"

"That won't happen." Hearing this, Galen clapped his chest and promised, "You know, I always have a very accurate eye on people. I can see that he is very upright and kind, and he is definitely not the kind of person who would do bad things. !”

"...Is it possible that you are too easy to deceive?"

"Brother, you have to believe me! I even asked Lux ​​to write a letter to verify his identity! I still have this bit of vigilance and common sense."

"...Okay." Jarvan IV shrugged, still not looking so convinced.

Seeing this, Galen put his hand directly into his trouser pocket and groped around for a while. "He was really starving to death. He even gave me his best treasure just for a meal... If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you..."

"..." Jarvan IV looked at the almost weird behavior, and then thought of the word "big baby", he always felt that something was a little weird.

Fortunately, what Galen took out was a bit strange, but it was far from weird.

Is it a... gun?It should be called this.

"Look at this." Galen shook the unique revolver in his hand, "It's called the 'Hex Technology Revolver', and it's the only valuable thing on Chen Ce - he got it from Peart Got it from Wolf. He gave it all to me just for a meal."

"Oh..." Jarvan IV studied the revolver for a while, but couldn't see anything special about it. "This kind of thing is not valuable, is it? Didn't the businessman of Piltover just send a batch of guns as a gift to my father last month? I don't think those things are very powerful, they are just like toys."

"Well...it seems true what you said..." Galen scratched his head again, "But maybe...maybe...it's different? Chen Ce said this thing is quite valuable."

"The gun is worthless and not very powerful. It is not as good as the arrows shot by a skilled crossbowman."

"That's what I thought at the time...but Chen Ce said this thing is very powerful."

"Then do you think it can be more powerful than the bows and arrows of the Fearless Pioneers?"

"This... there shouldn't be..."

"That's right, this thing may really be worthless." Jiawen IV shook his head, "You were probably deceived by that young man named Chen Ce."

"Ah this..." Galen looked at the revolver in his hand carefully, and he was already sweating profusely - he didn't want to admit that he had been deceived, let alone that he had made a mistake.

He has always judged people very accurately... He can feel that Chen Ce definitely did not come to Demacia to do bad things.

Even if he didn't have any ulterior motives... at least it was to do something to help someone, and he definitely didn't want to harm Demacia.

Ionia has obviously confirmed his identity...

"I still don't think he's here to do bad things... After all, what bad things can he do?" Galen shook his head.

"Maybe it's to pick up your dear sister." Jarvan IV joked.

"Hey, stop joking..." Galen was not convinced, "If you don't believe it, let's try the power of this gun on the spot?"

"Try it." Jarvan IV still looked indifferent.

Upon seeing this, Galen immediately ran over and dragged a dummy over.

First place the dummy in the center of the training ground, and then put a layer of hard armor on it.

"Let's just use this dummy for testing, okay?" Galen said. "With light armor, the arrows of the Fearless Pioneers can just break through. If this gun can also break through, it proves that it is indeed expensive to make. How about ?”

"Okay." Jarvan IV nodded indifferently, "But I have to remind you that the final result will most likely not even be able to break out the holes in the armor - this is the mithril armor supplied by the royal family."

"You have to try...!" In fact, Galen was also very unsure, but now he couldn't be timid.

So he held his greatsword in one hand and his Hextech revolver in the other, merging them together.

"Chen Ce said that this thing doesn't need any bullets, but I need this to be able to shoot it..."

"Mysterious." Jarvan IV looked disdainful.

then……

Bang-!

The loud gunshots made his eardrums hurt.

The dazzling light of energy filled the entire training ground, like a cannonball exploding in the dark night.

Galen's hand failed to grasp it properly, and the powerful recoil even caused the revolver to hit him hard in the face.

It took several seconds for both of them to recover.

Then they looked at the dummy at the same time.

The dust mist slowly dissipated, and they could see that there wasn't even a single crack in the armor.

Jiawen scratched his ears and was about to find out.

But the smoke dispersed little by little, and he saw it again...

Underneath the flawless armor is...

Yes……

Cang... part of the armor fell to the ground.

As for the other part...

All annihilated...

Jarvan IV's eyes widened instantly.

"Gai, Galen..."

"Ah...?" Galen, who followed [the principle of trusting Chen Ce], was also confused and his brain was shutting down.

Jarvan IV swallowed his saliva almost unconsciously, and then stuttered:

"Bring...find that person...I want to examine him personally...!"

Late at night comes, and it's time for the young girl to go home.

On the way back, Lux was silent. The hood she finally took off could not replace her lively and beautiful smile.

She was even a little reluctant to talk to the young man next to her.

No matter how Chen Ce talked to her, all he got was silence or short and meaningless replies such as "um" and "oh".

After several times of "hot face but cold butt", Chen Ce simply didn't bother to speak and was only responsible for silently sending the other party home.

His hotel was not far from Lux's home, and it only took more than an hour to walk at a normal speed.

Looking from a distance, the magnificent manor is brightly lit.

But Lux stopped when she was about to enter the manor.

She finally spoke at this moment: "I...I really...don't want to go back..."

"But we have completed the 'rescue mission', haven't we?" Chen Ce smiled and shook his head, patiently persuading this noble lady who longed for freedom: "As we agreed at the beginning, after the 'mission' is over, you I’m going home.”

"But……"

Lux pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something.But when the words came to her lips, she closed her mouth again with a lonely look.

In this way, even Chen Ce couldn't guess what she was worried about - if she just didn't want to stay at home and learn the etiquette of those noble ladies... In theory, she wouldn't be like this.

What's that for? I don't know.

If you don't tell yourself, then who can guess?

"I had a lot of fun today...Thank you, Chen Ce..." After a long silence and pause, Lux slowly put her hand on the gate of the manor.

"I'm also very happy to spend such a wonderful day with you, Miss Lux." Chen Ce performed a knight-like chest caressing ceremony, which was considered farewell for the night.

The girl forced herself to give out a not-so-pretty smile, and then prepared to go back.

But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded:

"Is our mature and sensible Miss Laxana finally willing to go home?"

A tall woman stood by the walkway of the manor with a cold expression.

Seeing the other party, the remaining smile on Lux's face disappeared instantly, replaced only by fear and annoyance.

She slowly read out the other person's name:

"Aunt Tiana..."

"It seems that my orders to you are completely useless, right?" The woman in uniform with a sword on her waist walked over slowly, with a very strong aura on her arrogant face.

The aura of the Grand Marshal of Demacia.

"I said you should stay at home and learn aristocratic etiquette, Laxana... you ran away secretly, your uncle and I have been looking for you for a long time, do you know?"

"I...I'm sorry..." Lux lowered her head completely, looking awkward and uneasy like a little girl who had made a big mistake.

But Tiana will not feel any softness because of her appearance.

She strode up, her master-like attitude as if the manor belonged not to Galen and Lux, but to her.

Then, she noticed the young man next to Lux.

Her frowned brows instantly knitted together.

"It seems that our Princess Laxana has found her knight?" Her tone was joking, but also contained deep anger.

"No...Chen Ce, he——"

"Go in!" Tiana interrupted Lux's explanation rudely, "You know that I have found a suitable candidate for you, what are you doing?"
