Chapter 206 If you play with her, you can’t play with me anymore.
"Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter."
Tuart didn't say anything else. He left these words, bowed, and walked out.
Then, the ministers also began to disperse one by one.
"Your Majesty still has too few contacts with mages. I know far better than your Majesty that those who are evil to the core cannot get along with each other at all."
Eldred walked to Jarvan III, bowed and said, "So please think again, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he also walked out.
Soon, only a few people were left in the conference hall.
Jiawen III stood up, walked to the bedside in the conference hall, looked outside and muttered to himself: "Is it too early to implement this matter?"
Minister Roy stepped forward and said loudly: "Debang and Master have been incompatible with each other since ancient times. If you want to easily break the balance between the two, you can't just talk about it."
"I am here to make your Majesty think twice about whether to continue with this matter. No matter what decision your Majesty makes, I will stand by your Majesty's side."
He's been in a position of power for too long, but it's the same as everyone else.
From birth, Roy has been instilled with the concept that mages are evil. Since he was a child, his elders have said that mages are heinous people and must not show any mercy to them.
What is different from others is that he has learned to bear witness over the long years.
He did not favor the words of those elders, but used his own eyes to see for himself.
Therefore, he knows that everything has good and bad sides, and the same is true for mages.
No mage is born bad. In fact, most of the mage he witnessed were innocent people who were implicated.
Tiana looked at the back of Jarvan III and walked out without saying anything.
She actually didn't have much to say on this matter.
She could naturally see that mages were just like anyone else, they had just gained more power.
However, her husband was killed by a mage during the war.
From a wife's perspective, she is disgusted with the Master.
Because of them, she lost the love of her life.
Until, a gleam of light appeared in her world.
She couldn't tell whether she really hated the mage.
Even the high-ranking Marshal still only felt confused when facing this matter.
"My son, please retire."
Jiawen IV bowed slightly towards the back of Jiawen III, and walked out of the conference hall after speaking.
He knew the helplessness his father felt at this moment.
But even he couldn't do anything at the moment.
Therefore, he silently made up his mind.
He wants to become stronger, strong enough to change everything.
Outside the palace.
Lu Qi got on the carriage, still thinking about what happened in the conference hall just now.
In my memory, when facing the mages, the third generation really chose to coexist peacefully with them.
However, the resistance he faced was too great, and this matter has never been implemented.
Until later, something happened that completely made it impossible to pardon the mage.
No matter what, this was something Lu Qi wanted to stop.
However, he always felt that the reason for this incident was not that simple.
At this time, Lu Qi's eyes were attracted by the scene outside the carriage, and the light in his eyes flickered slightly.
Eldred and Turt got into the same carriage and drove away.
Lu Qi looked back and thought for a few seconds.
Until there is a "tick" sound.
It was indeed a rainy day today, and a wet black spot appeared on the road.
Then, the sound of "tick-tick-tick" continued, and large raindrops fell from the sky.
"Wow"
In just a few seconds, the rain became heavier and heavier.
On the street, many people who did not react quickly were soaked in the rain and hid in shelter from the rain.
There was a spare umbrella left in the carriage.
Lu Qi found it, came outside, held up his umbrella, and blocked the falling rain for Yourna.
He is a person who particularly likes rainy days. Whenever it rains, especially this kind of rain that is not particularly heavy but not too light, he will feel particularly calm just by looking at it.
So I sat next to Urna and looked at the rain on the street and the people taking shelter from the rain.
It rained suddenly, so Yourna's waterfall-like hair was still wet. Some raindrops slid down her flawless and delicate face. From the side, it had a different flavor.
Lu Qi took out a handkerchief and wiped the rain off her face.
During the whole process, Yourna did not dodge or resist, and remained expressionless.
However, when Lu Qi looked away from her face, his purple eyes flickered slightly.
Half an hour later.
The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the prison.
The rain still showed no sign of stopping and kept falling.
Let Urna wait in the carriage, and Lu Qi held an umbrella and entered the prison.
Walking towards the playground, you can still see a figure dragging a chain and running forward on the playground.
However, under the wash of rain, his speed was very slow and he was very tired.
Several guards responsible for guarding him stood in the shelter and watched.
After seeing Lu Qi, he immediately walked into the rain to salute.
"No gift."
Lu Qi waved his hand casually and asked them to go back.
His gaze was directed towards Silas.
It seems that after a long period of time, even he is almost unable to bear it.
Silas's running speed became slower and slower. The cold weather and the constant falling rain made his whole body feel cold.
Finally, after holding on for several minutes, Silas's feet gave out and he fell heavily forward.
He fell into a puddle formed by rainwater and struggled to get up, but just doing so seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
"Let him rest."
Lu Qi saw this and gave an order.
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the guards immediately ran into the rain, picked up Silas who fell there, and pushed him back into the dungeon.
"Where's Deirdre?"
Lu Qi asked casually on the way to the dungeon.
"Lord Deird, he left a little early."
One of the guards came up with an excuse.
Not only did he know that Lu Qi actually knew that Deilde, who ran over to him as soon as he saw him, had not shown up yet, so he must have been lazy.
After all, he is the warden here, so he cannot be absent at this time.
Lu Qi didn't care that Deilde didn't come out to greet him. He walked forward and said, "I'll let him know later. If I don't see anyone else next time I come, then he can consider changing to another place to work." ”
The guard beside him quickly responded: "Yes!"
Walking through the dungeon corridor, you can see that in the prisons on both sides, some captured mages are huddled in the corners, and some are sitting there with gloomy expressions.
He was still holding on to the railing of the cell door with some energy, reaching out towards Lu Qi, begging him to let him out.
Lu Qi ignored it and continued walking inside.
Compared to the last time, the number of mages imprisoned here seems to be much smaller.
For example, mages who are captured will usually be given forbidden magic lime water. The weak ones will lose their magic. If they are lucky, they can see the light of day again.
Those who are unlucky will still be locked up for a few years.
Those with strong magic power will have to drink forbidden magic lime water here for a long time until the demon searcher confirms that he is no longer a threat.
And some special ones were either exiled or executed
In short, any mage who is captured will basically not end well in the end.
This is the current situation that Jarvan III wants to change.
There may be at least half of the mages in this cell who are innocent.
Before being captured, they might have been a farmer, a hunter, or a businessman. Just because they had the ability to use magic in this magical land, they would face jail time.
While thinking, Lucci walked to the door of Silas' cell.
Taking the torch from a guard, he said, "I can go in alone."
When the guards heard this, they stopped following him.
The door of the cell was closed, and the torch in his hand flickered, illuminating the inside.
Silas, who was carried back, was sitting there motionless at the moment, with the stains on his body not even cleaned. When he saw Lu Qi coming in, he just raised his weak eyes and looked away, then looked away.
"It looks like you can't hold it any longer."
Lu Qi walked to the cage and let the light of the torch completely illuminate the inside.
Silas didn't respond. The long-term high-intensity long-distance running and carrying heavy loads had brought his body to the edge of collapse.
In the past few days, he gritted his teeth and endured every day.
The aches and pains in many places on his body were a constant reminder of what Silas had encountered at this moment.
However, the sudden rain today really made him feel powerless from the bottom of his heart.
This powerlessness was not because of the rain, but because of the rain that it finally broke out.
Silas didn't know how long he would have to face such days.
I don’t know if I will ever truly see the light of day again.
Looking at Silas who was silent, Lu Qi didn't pay attention and said: "It does surprise me that you can hold on for so long. I have to say that your perseverance may not be worse than that of German soldiers."
Silas didn't feel very happy to receive this guy's praise. He just glanced at it and moved away again.
"I came here this time because there is something I want to share with you."
Lu Qi also didn't like talking alone, so he brought up the main topic: "This morning, my father held a meeting about pardoning the mage."
Hearing these words, Silas paused for a moment. He looked at Lu Qi who was standing in front of the cage. After reacting, he sneered and said: "Does fooling a prisoner make you feel happy? "
He simply didn't believe it was true.
"I thought your vocal cords fell out." Lu Qi saw him speaking and smiled: "I have many sources of happiness, but I won't lie to you about this matter."
His tone did not sound like he was lying, but Silas still didn't believe it and just sneered.
If those high-ranking figures really wanted to pardon the mage, he and his compatriots would not have spent countless days and nights in a place like this.
Regardless of whether Silas believed it or not, Lu Qi continued speaking on his own: "The result of the meeting was that more than half of the ministers opposed it."
Silas said coldly: "That seems true."
He figured it out a long time ago.
In the eyes of those in high positions of power, mages are not even as good as livestock on the roadside.
How could they accept that a group of livestock suddenly became equal to them?
In these countless dark days and nights, Silas finally figured out a question.
That is, if the country of Demacia does not experience a bloody lesson, it will never usher in new changes.
Only when a heavy blow hits their bodies will they feel the pain.
Silas doesn't know who will make the hit in the future, but he is looking forward to that day.
"Do you believe in the chessboard theory?"
Suddenly, Lu Qi jumped to other topics.
Silas looked at him and didn't reply.
Lu Qi then explained to himself: "The so-called chessboard theory means that we may live on a chessboard. Some people are born to be chess players, and some people are only born to be chess pieces. The chess pieces are destined to be played by others in their lives. Chess players manipulate until they die.”
"It's ridiculous." Silas sneered.
"When a person's vision can only recognize limited things, and when something beyond their cognition happens, no matter who it is, the first reaction is disbelief."
Lu Qi said slowly and looked at Silas: "Isn't your life just a chess piece? Since you were born, you were valued by the demon searchers because of your special abilities. You thought you were being used in a important way. However, when you showed a If you lose the ability to control even a little bit, they will abandon you."
Silas looked at him coldly: "So, what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, I'm just here to mess with your mentality." Lu Qi had a gentle smile on his face.
However, this smile was very ugly and mean in Silas's eyes.
After saying that, Lu Qi was no longer ready to stay here anymore, turned around and walked out.
Seeing the door of the cell slowly closing, swallowing his back bit by bit, Silas stared forward, clenching the fists on his knees unconsciously.
Even if he knew that, what Lu Qi just said was not credible at all.
However, at this moment, Lu Qi's voice kept floating in his mind.
The coldness from the rain on his body had not dissipated much, and Silas couldn't help but think about it.
If his life is really just a chess piece.
So his chess piece has been kept until now, is it because there is still an unfinished mission?
Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his fist and slammed it on the wall, making a "bang" sound, and the magic stone chain also made a shaking sound because of his movement.
The severe pain made him more conscious, and drops of bright red blood fell on the ground.
The look in his eyes became even colder.
If this so-called bullshit chessboard theory really existed, then he jumped out of the chessboard and overturned it!
He must hold on, he must hold on until that day!
Lu Qi left the dungeon, got on the carriage, and headed slowly towards home.
After a while, the carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the yard.
After getting off the carriage, I glanced into the yard and saw Sona sitting under the eaves, looking at the rain with her big eyes, her aqua-blue hair naturally falling on both sides, and she was playing the strings of music in her hands. A beautiful melody accompanies the rain.
This scene is like a picture of beauty in the rain.
Poppy was sitting next to her, dangling with her short legs not touching the ground, listening to the music quietly.
Fiona is not sitting outside, she should go home at this time.
Noticing Lu Qi at the entrance of the courtyard, Sona stopped playing and looked over.
Lu Qi looked at her and then smiled.
Sona looked away and looked elsewhere.
She rarely got into moods, but Lu Qi felt that Sona seemed a little depressed at this time.
So he walked over, sat next to Sona, put his hand on Luo Hua, and said, "Is there anything unhappy?"
"No."
Sona's pleasant voice came out.
"I don't see it." Lu Qi looked at her sideways, while Sona was looking down at Jue Hua.
"Really not." Sona's stubborn voice came. After saying that, she picked up Juo Hua and went back to the house.
Even though his hand left Jue Hua, Lu Qi still felt like he heard a faint "Idiot" sound coming from him.
He scratched his head and looked at Sona's graceful back. He was a little puzzled and asked Bobby, "Did you make her angry?"
"How can it be!"
Bobby immediately denied it, looked at Lu Qi and said, "It's obviously you."
"It's even less likely for me."
Lu Qi recalled it, and there was nothing that made Sona angry.
He still chatted with Sona for many days every day.
After thinking about it, Lu Qi felt that Sona might be a relative.
At this time, Sona walked to the living room, sat on the sofa, looked at Juo Hua in her arms, and sighed quietly.
Although Lu Qi did not neglect her, she always felt empty when she thought about what he and Miss Sword Girl had done.
The most annoying thing is that these two have no intention of taking a break.
It’s been so many days in a row!
Thinking of this, Sona sighed again.
Miss Sword Princess just had the courage to do something she didn't dare to do.
If she had the courage to step into the yard that night.
A blush appeared on her face, and Sona took several deep breaths before calming down.
It's all Lu Qi's fault.
As a result, she didn't dare to talk to him now, for fear of letting him know the messy thoughts in her head.
Shaking her head to get rid of these dirty thoughts, Sona put her bare hands on the strings again and started playing.
The depression in my heart has dissipated a lot.
In fact, she was already content to be by His Highness' side.
Outside the hospital.
Two hurried figures, riding bicycles, rushed into the yard under the rain.
This made Lu Qi, who was sitting under the eaves watching the rain, a little strange: "Don't you two have umbrellas?"
"Where are you going to steal an umbrella? Who knows, halfway through, it suddenly starts raining."
Lux complained, got off the bicycle with Kashina, and jogged under the eaves. Her whole body was wet, and drops of water kept falling.
The two of them were like two drowned rats.
Lu Qi looked at them and said, "It'll be fine just a little while."
"We all got wet anyway, so we thought we might as well rush back and forget it!"
Lux chuckled, but looking at her expression, it was obvious that there was more to it than that.
As soon as I saw this product, I just liked the feeling of riding in the rain.
Lu Qi glanced at her and said, "Let's go change clothes first."
The two people ran into the living room, and Lu Qi got up and followed them.
In the living room, Yourna was holding a dry towel and wiping Lux's wet blond hair.
On the other side, it was Sona who wiped Kashina.
The two girls sat there obediently, letting themselves be manipulated.
Suddenly, Lux shook her body, and breathed in belatedly: "It's so cold."
It's already cold outside, and it gets even colder when it rains like this.
I didn't feel it when I was exposed to the rain, but when I returned to the house, the coldness suddenly came over me.
Kashina next to her was not much better, she was also shivering from the cold.
"It's your own fault." Lu Qi glanced at them and walked to the kitchen.
In the living room, after wiping their hair, the two girls ran to a room, and after a while, they changed their clothes and came out.
The first time I came out, I sat by the fireplace.
The fire in the fireplace was burning, as if emitting a heat that dissipated a lot of the coldness on Lux and Kashina.
As they warmed up under the fire and felt their bodies warming up, the two girls also had comfortable expressions on their faces.
"Ahsneeze!"
Suddenly, Lux sneezed, then sniffed, with a confused expression on her face.
"Ah sneeze!"
Next to her, Kashina also sneezed as if she was infected.
Sona looked at them helplessly. From the looks of it, she was probably not far from catching a cold.
"It's over, it's over, I seem to have a cold."
Lux wiped her nose, feeling like she wanted to sneeze again.
"It's all your fault for having to run back in the rain."
Kasina looked at her angrily.
Lax said confidently, "Who knew you were so weak!"
"Isn't it the same for you!"
Kashina glared at her.
Suddenly, the two of them smelled a scent wafting from the kitchen.
Immediately, Lu Qi was seen walking out with a bowl of steaming soup of unknown origin.
When he approached, several girls looked at him curiously.
This is a bowl of milky white soup with a fragrant taste that whets your appetite.
"What is this?" Lux's eyes lit up.
"Ginger hits milk." Lu Qi asked Yourna to get the bowl and filled a bowl for everyone: "It can effectively remove the wind and cold. You two drink more to avoid catching a cold."
Lux took the bowl of ginger milk and couldn't wait to take a sip, but before she lowered her head, she sneezed again.
"Ahsneeze!"
Lu Qi suddenly felt a wave of light rain on his face. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the little golden retriever opposite with an unkind expression.
Before he could say anything, there was another "sneeze", and with Kashina's sneeze, Lu Qi once again received a burst of rain on his face.
He felt that these two guys did it on purpose.
"I can't control a cold." Lux looked away guiltily, feeling a little embarrassed herself.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Kashina also felt bad, so she apologized and wanted to run away.
However, her movements were still slow.
Lu Qi reached out and grabbed the back of Destiny's neck, and then he slipped back.
Then, he raised his hand, gathered strength, and landed on her forehead with a bang, making a crisp sound.
"Ugh!" Kashina cried out in pain, almost crying.
Sensing Lu Qi's unkind gaze, Lux's delicate body trembled, she shrank her neck and said weakly: "If you hit her, you can't hit me anymore."
"It's a convenient thing." Lu Qi sneered and hit her head mercilessly.
Hearing a cry of pain, he turned around to wash his face with satisfaction.
These two brain-breaking moments gave Lux and Kashina some relief for a while.
Sona looked at the red marks on their foreheads and wanted to laugh a little.
After waiting for a short while, the temperature of the ginger milk was no longer so hot, so Lux, Kashina, Sona, Poppy and Yourna tasted the ginger milk while it was still hot.
After taking a sip, your mouth will be full of fragrance, and the taste of milk spreads in your mouth, which just right dissolves the taste of ginger.
Moreover, they feel like eating pudding, with clear and soft solidified milk lumps, which is very delicious.
As soon as one mouthful fell into the stomach, a warmth flowed from the lower abdomen to the whole body.
Lux and Kashina, whose whole bodies were warmed up, suddenly felt much more comfortable and let out a long sigh of relief.
Lu Qi didn't drink. After washing his face, he sat back under the eaves outside the courtyard and stared at the rain that didn't stop at all.
I sighed in my heart.
The weather is so nice.
