Chapter 89 How can you two be so natural! (Two in one chapter)
There was something more important for Lux today, so she just had a brief chat with Navis.
Then he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
Lu Qi, on the other hand, continued to stay here and was not in such a hurry.
"Where's Fiona?"
"She should be in the training room."
Navis didn't have time to raise her head and replied.
Lu Qi felt that staying here seemed to disturb her, so he stood up and left the room.
Then he walked towards the so-called training room.
It's said to be a training room, but it's actually a place reserved for Fiona alone.
She seems to have a lot of credits at the Royal Academy, so she has been watching here these days.
As he was about to get closer, Lu Qi heard the crisp sound of a sharp blade striking from inside.
When you open the door, you can see Fiona in training clothes, holding a sharp blade in her hand, waving it at the training dummy in front of her.
Her sword dancing movements were very elegant, and her loose training clothes followed her every move, outlining her graceful figure.
The training dummy opposite was modified by Navis.
The feature of movement is cancelled, and the focus is on strengthening the defense. If you stand in place, it will be like a roly-poly and will not fall down.
This is naturally a very good training target for Miss Sword Girl.
An opponent that will never fall and has full defense.
So her attention shifted from Lu Qi, a lazy guy who basically didn't want to practice swordsmanship with her, to the training dummy.
Fiona was a little helpless about this guy Lu Qi.
She remembered that she first approached Lu Qi to urge him to practice his sword, but after so many days, let alone practicing, this guy didn't even hold the hilt of the sword.
In fact, after being in contact for a long time, she felt like showing off.
In fact, she has been very active recently. Since coming into contact with Lu Qi, the high-intensity training in the past has become a practice every now and then.
Hearing the movement behind her, Fiona stopped what she was doing, then exhaled, picked up a towel from the chair next to her and wiped some sweat from her forehead.
Lu Qi greeted at this time: "Miss Jian Ji looks quite refreshed today."
Fiona looked at Lucci and smiled: "Maybe it's because I imagined the dummy to be you."
Lu Qi: "."
He glanced at the dummy covered in sword marks.
Can we still talk today?
In order not to disturb Miss Sword Girl's sword practice, Lu Qi left wisely.
Looking at everyone's busy figures, he found that everyone seemed to have something to do now.
Including Kashina.
Lu Qi hasn't seen her since last time, but this is not because she is deliberately avoiding Lu Qi.
But she is really busy.
Not only do I have to complete my studies at the Physical Education College, but I also have to rush to the Illuminator Church to work as a volunteer after school. Now I also have to do printing, so naturally I don’t have much time.
Watch them live busy lives so fully.
Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh, it felt so good to have nothing to do!
Humming a light song, Lu Qi walked directly out and got into the carriage.
He was in a good mood and said to Yourna: "Go to prison!"
The carriage quickly drove to the prison in the royal capital.
After Lu Qi got off the carriage this time, the guard at the door didn't even ask him about his purpose and just let him go.
And Lu Qi also went straight to the mage dungeon on the right.
The journey was smooth, and here we met the dungeon master from last time, Deird.
"Your Highness, are you here again?"
Dilde saw Lucci and stepped forward.
Lu Qi glanced at him: "Don't you welcome me?"
Deilde hurriedly showed a flattering smile and said: "Where, your arrival has simply made this dark place shine."
Hearing this, Lu Qi patted Deilde on the shoulder with satisfaction: "You are quite good at talking."
After saying that, he continued to walk forward.
"Your Highness commends you." Deilde immediately followed Lu Qi and took down a torch from the wall.
When he saw Lu Qi heading towards the end of the second floor, he knew that His Highness was looking for Silas again.
"Open the door."
Deilde gave an order.
After the door opened, Lu Qi stepped inside.
As Dilder entered behind him, the light gradually illuminated the inside.
Soon, Lu Qi saw Silas, who was sitting in the innermost room, leaning against the wall, looking completely exhausted. His upper body was shrouded in shadows that could not even be illuminated by light.
Can't see his expression.
"Hey, Silas, have you eaten?"
As soon as he saw him, Lu Qi showed a smile on his face and said hello.
Faced with Lu Qi's question, Silas weakly raised his eyes and glanced at him, then put them down again, not even willing to say a word.
Dilde on the side said: "Your Highness, according to what you said before you left last time, we haven't given him anything to eat in the past three days except water."
"I know." Lu Qi glanced at him: "Otherwise, why would I ask?"
Dilde suddenly realized for a moment, stepped aside and lowered his head: "It's my subordinate who is too smart."
It turns out that His Highness asked this just to mess with Silas's mentality.
At this moment, Silas was still sitting in a place where all the light could not reach, motionless. Only his slightly rising chest showed that he was still alive.
Lu Qi looked over with a faint smile: "How does it feel after being hungry for three days?"
This time, Silas snorted and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not like I haven't been hungry before. I'm just so-so."
His voice was weak, but the disdain in his tone could still be heard.
"Silas."
Looking at the other party, Lu Qi asked another strange question: "Do you know how many days a person can be hungry at most? Or, how many more days do you think you can stay hungry?"
After hearing these two questions, Silas sat there without answering.
So Lu Qi asked and answered: "In most cases, a person can only survive for seven days at most without lack of water. The first three days are the most difficult. Later, you will gradually get used to the feeling of hunger. Have you grown accustomed to the feeling of hunger now?" Do you feel like you’re used to it?”
Silas still didn't respond, but as Lu Qi said, he was now numb to the feeling of hunger.
Lucci gave Deilde a look.
Deilde stepped forward and stuck the torch into the cage. This time the firelight shone on Silas's weak face, and even the black eyes seemed to have lost their luster.
Lu Qi smiled and said, "I think you won't be able to bear it in two days at most."
Faced with his soliloquy, Silas never answered.
"You seem to want to get rid of this kind of life." Lu Qi continued indifferently, with an indifferent expression on his face, "You have already survived the most difficult three days. You only need two more days and you will be relieved."
There is no need to say more about what this liberation means.
At this point, Silas finally raised his head and stared directly at the young man standing at the door of the cell.
Watch him turn around and walk out.
"Starting today, give him a normal diet."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Deilde bent down and followed Lucci out of the cell, then closed the door, and darkness returned inside again.
He didn't know what His Highness's intention was.
But what can be seen is that His Highness seems to like torturing prisoners, especially the mentality of the prisoners.
He left after leaving those two words, and then resumed Silas's diet.
So, how will he choose?
Before Lu Qi left the dungeon, he met someone.
At this time, the man was walking towards him. He was a bit taller than Deird, with broad shoulders and a straight back.
He was wearing the clothes of a Forbidden Demon, with a silver-gray badge on his chest, like a spinning shell, which was also the prominent symbol of the Forbidden Demon: gray stone.
It is said to be specially made from the forbidden magic stone. Although it is only the size of a badge, it has the ability to resist magic.
And this man wore a golden mask with squinting eyes, covering a quarter of his face.
Whether they are Demon Forbidden Users, Demon Searchers, or other positions, their titles are determined by the color of their masks.
From regular masks, to iron masks, to bronze masks, and on top to silver masks and only one gold mask.
Then, there is no need to guess the identity of the man in front of you.
He walked forward, stopped in front of Lu Qi, and performed a standard meeting etiquette: "Eldred meets His Highness."
This person is none other than Eldred, the current head of the Forbidden Demon Envoy.
Lu Qi said: "No courtesy."
Eldred stood up, looked at Lu Qi and asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter with coming to the dungeon?"
Lu Qi replied casually: "It's okay, just come and take a look."
"Are you ready to leave?"
"Um."
"Do you need me to escort you?"
"No need, you are busy with your business."
Waving his hands to signal that they didn't need to follow him, Lu Qi walked forward alone.
Eldred and Deilde both stopped and watched Lu Qi go away.
Eldred looked at Lu Qi's back quietly, then turned around and walked towards the dungeon.
After leaving the prison, Lu Qi sat on the carriage.
Thinking about the information about the Forbidden Demon.
Demon-forbidden envoy is the official name of the corps, which is divided into various positions, such as demon-hunting envoy, demon-forbidden pharmacist, demon-forbidden intelligence agent, etc. The division of labor is almost clear, and everyone can do anything.
But in the outside world, they are collectively called magic hunters, and their main job is to capture mages.
The word "Demon Searcher" is also a being that makes the people of Demacia feel intimidated and frightened when they hear it.
Because wherever they go, nothing good happens.
Just like the crow, it is a symbol of bad luck.
The Forbidden Demon Envoys were a corps that appeared before Jarvan III succeeded to the throne. They were mysterious in style and had little presence. They were loyal to the royal family and only took orders from the royal family, just like the Imperial Guards.
The same thing is their right to kill first and then report, the right granted by the imperial power.
This is exactly why the reputation of the Forbidden Demon Envoy is not very good among the people.
But right now, the Forbidden Demon Envoy and Lu Qi don't have much to do with each other.
Dismissing the thoughts in his mind, Lu Qi focused on the scenery outside.
At this time, the Crownguard's residence.
"I heard that you guys got together and seemed to be tinkering with something. Is this it?"
In Lux's bedroom, her niece called her over with excitement. At this moment, Tiana looked at the trumpet-shaped thing in front of her, but she was very confused.
I haven't had time to pay attention to what that kid is doing these days. When I was free today, I found that he was studying these things.
The function is indeed clear at a glance. Behind the speaker is a copper pipe, and the other end of the copper pipe seems to be connected to the kid Lu Qi's house.
You know, the distance during this period is at least one thousand meters, but Lux said that at such a distance, the two sides can transmit sounds to each other.
Hearing this, even Tiana couldn't believe it.
She knew that through this, voices could communicate over short distances.
Some people have done this before, but they gave up when they found that it was impossible to achieve it if the distance was longer.
At present, the length of this sound transmission pipe is a full kilometer.
"Although it's not this one, it's still very powerful. The sound can be transmitted to the other end with just a whisper."
Seeing her aunt's confused look, Lux tried her best to describe it.
In response, Tiana smiled and said, "Do you know how far away that boy Lu Qi's room is from here?"
"I know it's far away." Lux nodded, and then said, "But Navis said that if nothing happens, it can be successful."
Navis?
Tiana has a little impression that she is a little girl from the Menke family who doesn't go out all year round.
I don’t know if she has inherited Du Lang’s skills.
But no matter what, Tiana didn't believe it.
If that little girl from the Menke family could really develop something that allows sound to travel thousands of meters, she would have become famous all over the world.
After thinking for a while, she asked: "Who came up with this idea?"
Lux replied: "Your Highness proposed it, and then Navis implemented it."
Tiana was a little surprised when she heard that it was the kid's wild idea, so she said, "Then you can demonstrate it to me."
Hearing this, Lux took a deep breath, leaned towards the speaker, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone there!"
The sound did come through.
But the two of them sat in the room and waited quietly for a long time without reply.
Lux said awkwardly: "Maybe His Highness hasn't gone home yet."
"Maybe it didn't get through at all."
Tiana smiled, not taking this seriously at all. She just regarded it as a child's nonsense, stood up and walked outside.
Lux looked at the horn that still had no response and sighed dejectedly.
Dusk.
Lu Qi returned home, and as soon as he arrived in the bedroom, he heard some strange noises.
It seems to be coming from the microphone tube.
Getting closer, he found that there was a constant buzzing sound coming from the pole that was connected to the Crown Guard's house.
It seemed like someone was banging on the other end with something.
"What are you doing?"
After a moment of confusion, Lu Qi spoke into the speaker.
A few seconds later, the loudspeaker suddenly heard the surprised voice of Miss Crown Guard: "There is a voice! It's His Highness's voice! Aunt, aunt, come and see!"
Lu Qi became a little more confused when he heard the sound fading away.
After waiting for a while, Tiana's voice came out: "You said that boy talked to you? Where is he now?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Qi said into the speaker: "I'm here."
A few seconds later, Tiana's shocked voice came out: "Where are you?!"
Lu Qi was speechless for a moment: "I'm at home."
Marshal, has your IQ been infected by Lux?
You can even ask this kind of question!
Speaking of which, this was the first time he saw Tiana being so emotionally moved.
"See, I said yes!"
At this time, Lux's voice came from the speaker again.
At this moment, the Crownguard's residence.
Tiana couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. When the sound really came out from the microphone-like speaker, her mood was no longer calm.
Her weather-beaten mentality now faced a new test.
You know, the other end of the sound is a thousand meters away.
What is this concept?
This is something that no one has ever achieved so far!
She stared at the microphone tube several times before looking at Lux: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?"
Regarding this, Lux also showed a speechless expression: "Auntie, would you believe me if I told you earlier?"
Aunt, have you forgotten the expression on your face that didn’t take you seriously just now?
Now you are blaming me!
Looking at Lux with an innocent expression, Tiana also realized that she had lost her cool.
After calming down, she immediately got up and rushed outside.
Three minutes later.
Looking at Tiana jumping in directly from the window of her house.
Lu Qi was shocked.
Tiana just glanced at Lu Qi and ignored him. She stopped in front of the microphone and said to it: "Lux, talk to me."
After she finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Just a few seconds later, Lux's voice came out: "Hello? Aunt? Can you hear me?"
Seeing this scene, Tiana was finally convinced of the authenticity of this sound transmission channel.
She looked at Lu Qi, who was looking dissatisfied, and there was an unstoppable wave in her heart.
She didn't expect that this guy would come up with such a powerful thing right under her nose.
Don't underestimate this one thousand meters. If used well, this one thousand meters can affect many things.
Moreover, it seems that one thousand meters is not the limit distance.
After calming down again, Tiana asked: "How far can this be transmitted?"
Seeing her serious expression, Lu Qi replied: "It hasn't been tested yet, but theoretically speaking, distance is no longer an obstacle that limits sound transmission."
This answer made Tiana feel uneasy again, and she began to think with twinkling eyes.
Distance and distance are no longer obstacles that limit the spread of sound!
What this sentence means is very important.
If it can really break through the distance of one thousand meters, then the role of this microphone can be more than just used to transmit messages as imagined.
The most important thing is that Tiana discovered that the speed of sound propagation is not slow at all.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask: "Did you and that little girl from the Menke family do this?"
Lu Qi immediately replied seriously: "Strictly speaking, I just provided the ideas, and it was Navis who really did the work."
This answer was not that he meant to hide his clumsiness, but it was exactly what he said.
He only provided ideas, solved the doubts in Navis's mind, and made her understand the concept of sound.
Next, Navis became self-taught.
From that moment she was aroused.
She not only used rune creatures to unlock the limitations of sound propagation distance, but also developed a device that can make the sound propagation process more stable, continuous and rapid.
This is the most important thing, it complements the shell of the triangle crab.
However, Lu Qi's answer was a sign of hiding in Tiana's eyes. She even suspected that the little girl from the Menke family was a shield deliberately found by this boy.
In order to allow myself to show off with peace of mind, I deliberately pushed a little girl in front to block the trouble.
Good for you.
But it doesn't matter, sooner or later this kid won't be able to hide his tail.
Tiana, who had determined this in her heart, said, "Take me to see that girl."
Lu Qi looked at the getting dark outside and said weakly: "It's too late, I don't really want to move."
The moment he finished speaking, he found himself flying.
That's right, Tiana held her in one hand and sat on the carriage in no time.
"Just use your mouth."
"."
Two hours.
Among them, Tiana took Lu Qi to meet Navis. The little girl was frightened by the arrival of the marshal. She hesitated and couldn't even speak.
Fortunately, Lu Qi calmed her down.
And Navis also won Tiana's recognition through her subsequent performance.
Then, Tiana took Lu Qi into the palace again.
The father and son have not seen each other for a long time. The father and son are extremely jealous when they meet. When they first meet, they greet each other and care about each other. It seems that they have overcome thousands of mountains and obstacles to meet each other.
This made Tiana on the side very speechless, as if she was some kind of sinner, setting up a treacherous plot to prevent your father and son from meeting each other.
When nothing happened to Lu Qi, he was sent home by Tiana.
When I got home, it was already dark.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Fiona and Lux sitting in the living room.
Fiona was sitting on the sofa reading a book, while Lux was happily eating an ice cream.
Seeing Lu Qi come in, the two women looked up, then lowered their heads and went about their own business.
Lu Qi was confused and scratched his head.
This is my home, right?
"What are you doing standing at the door stupidly?"
Lux gave Lu Qi a strange look.
Lu Qi, who heard the sound, walked into the living room and looked at the two women. He originally wanted to say something, but forgot about it.
Then just stop thinking about it.
I felt hungry at this time, so I walked to the kitchen to start cooking dinner.
When dinner was ready, he discovered that Fiona and Lux, who had been sitting in the living room before, were now sitting at the dining table, and the tableware had been prepared.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qi finally remembered what he wanted to say before.
How could you two do it so naturally?
"Do you two feel that you have been coming to my house more and more frequently recently?"
Lu Qi asked with a subtle expression.
"How can this be so frequent?" Lux said confidently, "I come here every day!"
Lu Qi: "."
It seems that is indeed the case.
Because Lu Qi's house is in the middle, and it's just a short distance away, the two girls can come anytime they want.
You might not be used to it the first time you eat, but you'll soon get used to it.
In Lux's words, if you rub it for a long time, it won't be called rubbing anymore.
After a hearty dinner, all three of them showed satisfied expressions.
Lux, who had just finished eating, was already paying attention to Lucci's new product.
She thought of the scene she saw when she went to the basement before, and asked, "I see there are a lot of barrels in your basement. What are they?"
Lu Qi casually replied: "Beer."
Lux sat up and asked in surprise: "You can also make wine?"
Lu Qi smiled modestly and said, "I understand a little bit."
This little understanding means that you can make a little bit of any kind of wine. After all, this stuff is included in your cooking skills.
Demacia also has alcohol, such as rum, which is the most popular, followed by red wine and fruit wine, and finally ale.
In fact, beer is an evolved version of ale.
What Lucci does is probably an evolved version of beer.
Fiona cast her gaze after hearing this and asked, "How many more days will it take?"
She didn't like drinking, but she was really curious about the wine Lu Qi brewed.
Lu Qi thought for a while and replied: "It will probably take another four days."
He uses a quick brewing method, which usually only takes a week, so that he can drink it as soon as possible.
If you use other methods to precipitate it, it will actually taste better.
Lux's eyes lit up and she asked, "Does it taste good?"
Lu Qi glanced at her and smiled contemptuously: "Are you of legal drinking age? That's all I'm asking."
Lux suddenly glared over in annoyance: "Can't you ask before we arrive? You are only a few months older than me, why are you so arrogant?"
"Haha, there is no other way. One day is bigger, and one second is bigger."
Lu Qi smiled and looked at her with even more contempt.
Miss Crownguard's coming-of-age ceremony has not yet passed.
Only after passing the coming-of-age ceremony does it mean that she can drink.
This made Lux very uncomfortable. When she saw that there was no more wine to drink, she still asked without giving up: "Is there anything else good to drink?"
Lu Qi thought for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed, and it seemed that there really was one.
There are so many things you can unlock after your cooking skill reaches LV7, whether it’s food or drink.
Just like one piece of data after another, it is engraved in Lu Qi's mind, and he can remember it by flipping through it at will.
"What is it?" Looking at his expression, Lux knew that he must have thought of something, and looked at him with big eyes, looking forward to it.
Lu Qi smiled and said, "It's too late to make it today. Let's wait until tomorrow."
If Lacus didn't say anything, he still couldn't remember.
When I think about it, I feel like drinking.
This is also a very suitable drink for summer, and can even be said to be a must-have for summer.
If Lu Qi could return to his previous world, he could make a lot of money with just this formula.
Even Fiona became somewhat interested.
So the two women returned home with expectations for tomorrow.
In the evening, Lu Qi, who had finished writing today's composition, lay on the bed.
Not long after he lay down, Lux's voice came through the microphone.
"Hello? Your Highness?"
"Are you there?"
"Good evening?"
"can you hear?"
"I know you must be listening, please reply quickly!"
"Are you really not here?"
"Are you stealing delicious food again?"
Lu Qi was lying on the bed, listening to the endless chatter inside, and still helplessly replied: "Is something the matter?"
A few seconds later, the blonde girl's voice came from inside again: "Why did you just answer me now? Where were you just now?"
"Not here just now."
"Oh, are you here now?"
"If I hadn't died, I should have always been there."
"Oh, are you still here?"
"Here! Now, let's talk!"
Lu Qi could even imagine the scene of the bored Crown Guard lady talking non-stop into the microphone.
At this time, the sound came from the microphone again.
"I'm fine, I just wanted to see if you were here."
"."
"Do you think it's amazing? We are so far apart, but we can still communicate with each other."
"Yeah, it's amazing."
"That's right! Do you think there is something that can allow us to talk to each other even if we are thousands of miles apart?"
"I think so."
"Then do you think there is something that allows us to see each other even though we are far apart?"
"Probably so."
"Then do you think there is something that allows us to see and talk to each other?"
"Let me tell you. If you really have nothing to talk about, let's go to bed. I think it's getting late."
"Oh okay, good night then, have a sweet dream."
"Good night."
The microphone finally went silent, and Lu Qi lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
I closed my eyes and was about to go to bed when another voice came from the phone.
"have you slept?"
"If you don't want me to sleep, just say so."
"No, good night for real this time, see you tomorrow."
"."
Lu Qi simply stopped replying and covered the microphone.
It is said that Miss Crownguard installed a microphone on the bedside like him. It is very suitable for lazy people, and they can talk even while lying down.
The next day, morning.
Lu Qi slept until he woke up naturally and looked outside. It was still early and it seemed that he could sleep for a while longer.
He raised his hand and pulled down a microphone, and said into it: "Here's a glass of water."
Then he let go and the microphone automatically retracted. This was the microphone connected to Yurna's room.
Then he lay on the bed and fell into a daze.
After a while, Yourna, who had changed into a maid uniform, opened the door and walked in. She placed a glass of water on Lu Qi's bedside and then left.
Lu Qi picked up the cup and took a few sips, suddenly feeling a little emotional that this is the convenience of the progress of the times.
Normally, he would have gone downstairs.
It's not like now, when I lie down and don't have to do anything, just say a word and the water will come.
"Sign in."
I didn't really want to go back to sleep, so I said "sign in" in my mind.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare fruit: Red Sleeve Ice Lotus]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ordinary skill upgrade card]
Here comes another skill upgrade card.
The rewards these days have been some rare fruits, and now Lu Qi has a lot of them in his backpack.
After thinking about it, he still used this upgrade card to upgrade the gecko wall.
[The normal skill card is used successfully, congratulations to the host gecko for raising its wall level to LV5 (proficient)]
When a skill reaches level five, it will undergo a qualitative change.
So this time it was a huge improvement. Lu Qi could feel that his lower abdomen was gradually getting warmer, and soon a wave of energy surged out of it and continued to flow into his arms.
His bones are quietly undergoing subtle changes, becoming more suitable for rock climbing and performing physical skills.
This change has no side effects.
Just like a massage, a relaxing feeling spreads throughout the body.
After the feeling disappeared, Lu Qi wanted to go to the backyard and try his body skills, but an inexplicable formation sealed him on the bed.
This forced him to abandon the idea.
It’s too late to divide it into two chapters. I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival today.
