Chapter 2 The Capital of Demacia
Time turned and two months later came the real summer.
Demacia, the royal capital.
A towering silver-white city wall looks solemn and majestic, and the white bricks on it are connected like white armor shining with silver light.
Outside the city wall, a white statue stood quietly, overlooking the big city in front of it.
Under the city wall, teams came in and out, and guards in armor checked one by one.
"Name."
"Lucci."
"age."
"eighteen."
"Where did it come from?"
"Do you have to ask this too?"
"What was explained above has been strictly investigated recently."
"What happened?"
"Are you asking me or should I ask you? Where did it come from?"
"From the east, the town of Taron."
Lu Qi answered honestly.
"Have not heard."
The guard looked at the young man in front of him who looked young. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and had prominent black hair, but his eyes were brown. He looked a little handsome, like a mixed race, and he was as tall as him.
Then his eyes moved downwards and he saw the package in his hand: "What's in the package?"
"Personal items, do you want to see them?"
Lu Qi didn't mind at all and opened the package. Inside was some water, food and clothes he bought on the way, and a small package containing some remaining travel expenses.
In two months, he had almost spent all the money he had exchanged for the gold bracelets and sandalwood boxes.
He was sure that the businessman who took over his table was a sinister person, but he had no choice but to sell him, otherwise he would starve to death.
Half of the money was given to the mother of this body. Mellie, who had lived in poverty for half her life, organized a decent funeral and found a good cemetery, which was an explanation for herself.
There's half left, just enough to get through.
"Okay, let's go in, welcome to the royal city."
The guard at least glanced at it without paying too much attention, then smiled and stepped aside.
Lu Qi stepped forward and headed inside. As soon as he entered, he was attracted by the scene inside.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being the royal capital of Demacia. It is so big that it has no boundaries. The buildings are located in a group and spread out like a hill. Some of them are high and some are low. People are coming and going on the streets, which is very lively.
He had seen a big city on the road, but compared with the royal capital, it was still far behind.
In this land of Rune, as one of the few empires, having a main city of this size means that it is impressive.
During this time, Lu Qi has figured out that the world he is in now is called Runeterra. It is the world behind the game "League of Legends", and Demacia is one of the countries.
It is also an area where some heroes are active.
As an experienced player before time travel, I knew a little bit about the story behind the game.
It can be seen from the extraordinary abilities of those heroes that this world is not ordinary, and it is extremely dangerous for ordinary people. It is very likely that they will become cannon fodder in a sudden disaster.
As for those heroes, their values are adjusted to a balanced position in the game.
But in a real setting, a powerful hero can even destroy a city with ease.
At this moment, in the Rune Land where Lu Qi was, there were more powerful people who were not heroes but also had extraordinary strength.
According to Lu Qi's knowledge, it won't be long before a disaster strikes.
"Oh, it's so stressful right from the beginning."
Lu Qi subconsciously touched the side of his waist. He hid the necklace here, wrapped it tightly with three layers of tape and never took it off even to sleep.
There is no way. Judging from the current situation, this necklace is very important to him and may very well change his future life.
According to his understanding of the world, every country and region has its relative advantages and disadvantages.
For example, in Demacia, a country with a hereditary system, the safety of ordinary people can be guaranteed to a certain extent. The contemporary King Jarvan III is a well-known benevolent king. He treats his citizens more favorably, and if something goes wrong, he will have those who are more capable. The strong nobles stood in front.
But equally, this means that an ordinary person, if he does not have great potential, may not be able to go very high or far in his life.
Because more benefits have been shared by the nobles.
And the quality of Demacia is not low, and there is no shortage of righteous people among the citizens and nobles.
If the necklace on his body fails to change Lu Qi's current situation, he should consider finding a way to leave Demacia.
At this time, Lu Qi was walking aimlessly on the street, thinking to himself: "I said I am coming to the capital, but I am coming. What should I do next?"
Mellie's last words said so much. She just asked him to bring the necklace to the royal capital, but what should he do when he came to the royal capital?
It can be judged from the gold bracelet and gem necklace in the sandalwood box that Mellie at least once had a high status, and at least started as a noble.
Putting aside the first two, a gemstone necklace alone is simply not something that an ordinary or even a wealthy family can own.
"You can't just find a noble."
Lu Qi walked on the road and gave up the idea.
Although the royal capital says that nobles are everywhere, if someone has any idea about the necklace, even a small noble can easily handle the current Lu Qi.
Now it is no exaggeration to say that the necklace is Lu Qi's lifeblood.
"Come and take a look, take a look!"
The loud shouting on the roadside attracted Lu Qi's attention. He saw many people gathering in the direction of the sound, as if something interesting had happened.
In fact, Lu Qi should find a way to do business at this time, but he really couldn't think of any way.
So I simply didn’t think about it and went around the royal city first.
There was a small stall where people gathered. The stall owner sat cross-legged on the ground without a care, with two strong arms bare in summer, and playing with a hemp rope three to four centimeters thick and more than half a meter long in his hand.
There were a lot of people in front of us, and Lu Qi came early and grabbed a seat in the front row.
The stall owner shouted a few more times. Seeing that there were a lot more people, he picked up the hemp rope in his hand, first folded it in half, and began to explain.
"Today I'm playing a little game with you guys. Have you all seen this rope? Now, let's turn it into a small circle. Hey, there are three more circles in the middle."
As the stall owner explained, the hemp rope on the table in front of him was wound up in circles, with three small circles in the middle.
"Everyone, watch, I inserted this stick into this circle, and then pulled the rope, do you see it?"
As the stall owner tugged on the tail of the rope, the rope began to return to its original shape, and at this time, the stick happened to be in the middle of the rope, blocking it.
