Chapter 224 Second brother, why don’t you look at the current atmosphere (10,000 words)

Hill City.

Lu Qi, who had just finished two health-building exercises, felt quite refreshed.

"Sign in."

After resting, he thought silently in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for getting a special sign-in card*1]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare and exotic fruit-white grape]

Two system sounds sounded in succession. Lu Qi glanced at them and didn't pay much attention to them.

This is another special sign-in card, but I can look forward to the sign-in tomorrow.

Before I knew it, it was already December 9th, and there were only more than twenty days left before the Chinese New Year.

If you want to return to the capital before the end of the year, then you will have to add ten days to this time.

However, if he really couldn't make it in time, there was nothing Lu Qi could do.

After so many days, there was no movement at the Gate of Sorrow next door, which showed that the Noxians were quite tolerant.

After thinking about it, Lu Qi got up and went to the room to get some pen and paper, then looked at Catalina and asked, "What's the name of the manager next door?"

Catalina frowned slightly when she heard this: "Why do you ask this?"

Lu Qi said: "Of course I have to write him a letter."

"?" Catalina slowly typed a question mark.

You throw xiang on people's heads every day, but now you have to go out of your way to write letters to people?

There is no need for a person to be so mean!

Although she was complaining like this in her heart, Catalina still said her name: "Patria Teil."

Lu Qi nodded and started to write down the pen on the paper without any pause.

Out of curiosity, Catalina took a closer look, and then walked away with a speechless expression after a few seconds.

But when it comes to being mean, she doesn't accept anyone except Lu Qi.

Not a moment later.

A letter sent from Hill City soon appeared in a conspicuous manner at the Gate of Sorrow.

"General! This is a letter from Hill City!"

An adjutant, holding a letter in his hand, ran into Patria's office in a fuss.

There were a lot of herbs placed in the office. Patria raised his head when he heard this, with a cold look in his eyes: "A letter from Hill City?"

The spies he planted in Hill City have already been discovered by the other party, so how can he send another letter?

"It was thrown down from a high altitude by a dragon bird knight."

the adjutant replied, handing over the letter.

Patria frowned and took it, but she recognized the Demacia royal mark on it at a glance.

When he saw this letter, he was already a little unhappy.

At this time, the content of a specially sent letter can be imagined.

However, by some strange coincidence, he still chose to open the letter and look up.

"Dear Patria, hello to my good neighbor whom I have never met. I see a letter as a person.

I heard that the weather has been bad recently and it often rains in your area. I wonder if you slept well.

Anyway, I slept well.

I ate garlic-flavored steak yesterday. If you happen to smell the smell of garlic while walking on the street, no doubt, I must be thinking of you.

By the way, I will eat some enoki mushrooms at noon. If all goes well, we should arrive at your place tomorrow morning.

If you want to eat, please wait as early as possible.

I am somewhat proficient in cooking. If you want to experience different tastes in the future, be sure to write to Shanshan City.

Your good neighbor - Luqi Guangdun, written on December 9th. "

"I miss your mom!"

Patria tore the letter in his hand into pieces with all his strength and let out a roar, his whole body filled with energy, expressing his angry mood at the moment.

For some reason, he could picture a man with a mean expression grinning at him.

In an instant, the anger level is directly filled up!

However, there was nowhere to vent, and Patria was shaking with anger.

The adjutant next to him lowered his head and did not dare to speak at all, for fear of offending him.

After tearing the letter into pieces, Patria clenched his fists and looked in the direction of the hill city, his eyes full of anger.

At this moment, a smell drifted in from the window, and you could vaguely smell some garlic.

"vomit!"

Patria's expression changed, and she felt her stomach began to churn, and she almost vomited it out.

After a while, Patria regained his composure, his face turned livid, and he silently wrote down the name Luqi Light Shield.

The second prince of Demacia.

Such a stupid thing must have been done by this person!

"Go, let everyone know how to fight back against Demacia!"

Patria, who could no longer bear this grievance, ordered coldly.

He's had enough of having other people shit on his head!

He also thought about imitating the hill city and flying to the enemy, but this operation was too difficult.

Not to mention the need for flying monsters, they are also the opponents of those dragon and bird knights.

Although the former was also available, the manpower he sent out was quickly discovered by those dragon and bird knights, and it was not only useless to use some people.

Xiang was also snatched away and thrown back.

What the hell!

"yes!"

The adjutant took the order and immediately retreated.

However, no one has figured out a way to fight back against Demacia other than leading troops to kill them directly.

On the other side, the hill town.

Lu Qi, who was in a good mood, was holding a fine carving tool in his hand, carefully carving on a stone in front of him.

Beside him were various tools, large and small.

These were all processed by craftsmen in the city that he had found over the past few days.

Now that it was processed, it was sent over.

And he had something new to do.

Lu Qi was going to make a puppet. The standards for making a puppet were naturally very high. It was impossible to make one right away.

The more precise the puppet, the more careful it must be in its production.

This is the so-called slow work and careful work.

Of course, Lu Qi was not in a hurry about this matter. Anyway, he had nothing to do every day. Just like painting in the royal capital, making puppets also added a little fun to ordinary life.

Catalina, on the other hand, saw that he finally had interests other than lying there and being a bastard, and her bright green eyes became a little more curious.

It can be seen that Lu Qi is indeed very patient with what he is doing at the moment.

During this period, she was rarely even asked to do things.

After finishing the boring training, Catalina watched Lu Qi's production, and her eyes couldn't help but move to his serious profile.

His eyebrows were gently relaxed, his eyelashes were very long, and under the eyelashes were a pair of clear eyes, with a rare seriousness in them, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was in a good mood.

Should he say it or not, if this guy doesn't speak and is serious, he can really feel a bit charming.

Katarina generously admired this guy's profile. She rarely encountered anything that was eye-catching to her in Noxus.

At this moment, I have to admit that this guy's profile is very attractive.

Time passes unconsciously.

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Lu Qi's sleep state has been very good these past few days, and his schedule is very normal.

Go to bed early every night and wake up early the next day.

Early in the morning, Lu Qi stepped out of the room and after washing up, he saw a figure walking in from the outside. It was Xisilia.

"Your Highness, when we were heading to the Gate of Sorrow this morning, a Windwing force from Noxus arrived."

After Xisilia saw Lu Qi, she immediately reported: "The number is at least more than a hundred."

The introduction of the Wind Winged Dragon flashed in Lu Qi's mind.

A kind of magical beast that also lives on the mountain peaks seems to have some dragon blood in its body just like the Silver Winged Dragon.

However, it is thinner, so it is not as good as the silver-winged dragon bird in terms of size, combat power, or flight speed.

Moreover, the Wind Winged Dragon has a more brutal character and is extremely difficult to tame.

Noxus obviously didn't know what means it used to train such an aerial team.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi asked: "There are no casualties on our side, right?"

"No." Heathlia replied: "After we found out, we quickly returned to the hill city."

Lu Qi nodded and thought for a moment.

It was naturally within his expectation that Noxus would take action on this matter.

The arrival of this Wind Winged Dragon team made Xisilia's mission more difficult.

For safety reasons, Lu Qi said: "This mission can almost be abandoned."

After a few days, he thought the effect should have been achieved.

If that's the case, there's no need for Heathlia and the others to take any more risks.

Hearing this, Xisilia took the initiative to ask for orders: "If Your Highness cares about our safety, then I think there is no need to give up for the time being."

Lu Qi looked into her firm black eyes, waiting for the next words.

"Your Highness can choose to believe us, and we will definitely continue to complete this mission." Xisilia said with a serious face: "Moreover, we are confident in facing situations that endanger safety."

Her words proclaimed the honor and pride of the Dragon Bird Knight.

The aura revealed from this young girl at this moment is so confident and charming.

The most important thing is that Xisilia and her fellow dragon and bird knights haven't had enough yet.

Throwing Xiang Xiang on Noxus's head was such a pleasant thing, but it was not something that could happen normally.

Naturally they are unwilling to give up.

Moreover, it's time to stop now, isn't it the same as being afraid of Noxus' inferior Wind Winged Dragon team?

This is also intolerable to the dragon and bird knights!

Seeing the beautiful light shining in the eyes of the girl in front of him, Lu Qi said with a smile: "I don't want Demacia to lose any outstanding warriors because of this, so, Heathlia, please."

Xisilia stood up straight and promised seriously: "I will not let His Highness down!"

Soon, Xisilia had a solemn expression on her face, preparing to notify her dragon and bird knights to continue flying to the enemy.

Lu Qi looked at her back and thought that this girl might quite like this task.

He lay down on the chair in the courtyard and said silently in his mind: "Use the special sign-in card to sign in."

[This check-in is changed to a special check-in]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the intermediate skill upgrade card*2]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random high-level skill copy card*1]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the 500-year Monkey Wine]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the equipment: Boots of Speed]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the realm improvement card*1]

[The system rewards have been stored in the backpack, please check and claim them by yourself]

The sound of several system sounds in succession also made Lu Qi look at the system backpack.

This time there were two rewards, which piqued his interest.

"Use the skill card to upgrade the continuous jump."

He first thought silently in his mind.

[Successfully used, the continuous jump level is increased to LV7]

As soon as the system finished speaking, Lu Qi felt a soothing feeling like a spring flowing through his legs, as if he had soaked in a hot spring in winter.

It feels extremely comfortable.

The continuous jump skill allows Lucci to stay in the air and break through the obstacle that humans cannot jump on the air. It is a pretty good skill.

The disadvantage in the early stage is that it is too strenuous, and it is easy to consume too much energy in just a few jumps.

After reaching LV7, Lucci can jump more times, and it becomes easier to jump.

Immediately, he looked at the second reward, a random high-level skill copy card.

After checking the system introduction, his eyes suddenly lit up and he felt that this was a good reward.

As the name suggests, the effect of this random high-level skill copy card is that you can randomly learn a high-level skill from any target.

For example, Katarina walked out at this moment.

If Lu Qi guessed correctly, the Shunpo she learned should be a high-level skill - a skill that can move a certain distance at an extremely fast speed. It is indeed valuable to learn.

However, the effect of this skill card is random, and it is possible to learn other skills.

But as long as it's a high-level skill, it's not bad.

Of course, Lu Qi was not in a hurry to use it, after all, there were so many opportunities to choose from.

Even a little golden retriever probably has high-level skills worth learning from Lu Qi.

The third reward was the 500-year-old Houer wine. Once the 100-year-old Lu Qi tasted it, he was already obsessed with it.

At this moment, it had doubled five times. After seeing it, he couldn't wait to take it out. He took a small sip first, then squinted his eyes and tasted it carefully.

After that, I continued to check the fourth reward.

It turned out to be a piece of equipment.

This seems to be Lu Qi's first time signing in to obtain equipment.

Boots of Speed, a very familiar name.

He took out the boots directly. Their appearance was different from what he knew. They were not the orange ones, but the type he preferred to wear.

I have to say that the system is very considerate.

Lu Qi immediately put on his walking boots, stood up and walked a few steps. He suddenly felt a subtle experience coming from his feet, which was very light and relaxed.

The effect of the Boots of Speed ​​is to increase Lucci's speed, but during battle, the extra speed will be reduced.

The effect was quite different from what he had in mind.

This speed of improvement is also quite impressive. In addition, Lu Qi's current speed is not slow. With the help of the Speedy Boots, he is probably going to become a flying man.

This reward is still very good.

The last one, the realm improvement card, Lu Qi used without hesitation.

Suddenly, a burst of energy burst out from the heart and was transmitted to every corner of the body. The whole body gradually heated up, and every cell became warm, dispelling the coldness in the body.

This feeling combined with the warmth of the monkey wine sent Lu Qi into a wonderful experience.

When he opened his eyes again from comfort, his physical strength had improved and reached the middle stage of fearlessness.

Slowly exhaling, Lu Qi's face turned red and he felt a little tipsy.

He had a good capacity for drinking, but in front of this 500-year-old monkey wine, he still felt a little drunk after only drinking a little.

Catalina came from behind and looked at the wine bottle in Lu Qi's hand and his drunken face and expression of enjoyment, and was quite speechless.

"You are worthy of drinking so early in the morning."

This guy would have a few drinks from time to time, and Katarina was already used to it.

But it’s the first time I’ve seen him, and he’ll make himself drunk.

She smelled the aroma of wine floating in the air, and it smelled surprisingly good.

“Enjoy life without worrying about time.”

Lu Qi smiled, looked at her, and happily shared without being stingy: "Would you like two liang?"

Catalina looked at the wine bottle that he had drank from, and she didn't hesitate. She took it out of curiosity and took a sip.

She usually doesn't drink, because alcohol affects the brain's judgment, thus affecting the accuracy of swinging the knife.

But the drink capacity is not bad.

In order to train her drinking ability when she was a child, she started drinking alcohol from the age of eight until she could no longer get drunk easily.

At this time, as she took a sip of wine, she suddenly felt a strong aroma of wine release on her taste buds, and the wine seemed to turn into a clear spring, rushing through her body wantonly.

This feeling is surprisingly comfortable and quite wonderful.

Her face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but feel the lingering fragrance of wine between her lips and teeth.

Soon, feeling the wonderful feeling in her body, Catalina realized that the wine in her hand seemed to be extremely precious.

It was not that she had never drank wine before, but after drinking it, the only thing that could give her this feeling was the bottle in her hand.

Looking at the wine in her hand, she was stunned for a moment, then returned it directly to Lu Qi after she came to her senses.

"Does it taste good?"

Lu Qi took it with a smile.

Catalina couldn't deny it at all. She nodded and sat down nearby.

She sat there, her face flushed, and as she drank, her cold eyes soon became a little tipsy, as if the ice cubes had melted, and she looked extraordinarily charming.

Catalina clearly knew that she was drunk.

She couldn't believe how easily she got drunk.

Seeing this, Lu Qi smiled, not surprised. After all, even the best drinker of this 500-year-old monkey wine might not be able to last three glasses.

Catalina noticed Lu Qi's eyes and turned away, using her own willpower to fight against her drunkenness.

But looking at her slightly trembling eyes, it was obvious that she was not far from losing.

Lu Qi didn't drink anymore, just one sip, maybe one or two.

Although wine is good, don’t be greedy.

Moreover, he didn't want to be too picky, lest he wouldn't be able to drink this kind of wine in the future, or even other wines.

This monkey wine also has the effect of enhancing qualifications. He plans to incorporate it into the ingredients after returning.

It’s nice to think about cooking some dishes that taste even better when paired with wine.

After drinking, the consciousness that should have been clear gradually became blurred.

Lu Qi instinctively wanted to close his eyes and lie down.

He was someone who would never treat himself badly. As soon as this thought came to his mind, he had already laid down, changed into a comfortable position, and started to take a nap.

Catalina didn't last long. For the first time, she felt that her body, which had been trained to drink well, was so fragile.

His eyes were closing and closing as if they were fighting, and at that moment the sound of Sona practicing the piano could be heard.

When his eyes closed again, they didn't open.

When I woke up again, it was almost noon.

Catalina sat up and looked around. Her brain did not feel the pain of being drunk, but was very clear.

Looking not far away, Lu Qi was lying there, not knowing whether he was sleeping or awake.

The peace in her heart at this moment made Catalina a little lost in thought. Her body felt numb and numb, as if her body had experienced a long-lost relaxation.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had such a comfortable sleep.

Normally, she usually sleeps lightly, so that she can wake up at any time if there is any movement.

After all, the environment where she grew up was always dangerous.

In order to train her sense of crisis, her father would send assassins to carry out targeted attacks even when she was sleeping.

Although those trainings will not really cost your life, if you are not careful, you will leave a wound that will bleed out continuously. It is very painful, extremely painful.

After experiencing it once, Catalina never wanted to experience it again, and she would not let it happen again.

Since then, she has never had a deep sleep again, and she has never been able to sleep however she wants like Lu Qi.

No wonder this guy always likes to lie down like this.

It turns out this is really comfortable.

Catalina's eyes flashed, and there was some envy that she hadn't noticed flashed through.

After a while, she stood up, adjusted her breathing, and her expression returned to cool.

She glanced at Lu Qi again. After staying with this guy for so long, she almost lost her sense of crisis.

At this time, soldiers came quickly from outside and reported: "Your Highness, a suspicious person was found outside the city!"

Lu Qi, who was resting his mind, opened his eyes after hearing this, sat up and asked, "How suspicious is it?"

The soldier replied: "The eldest prince has passed. Anyway, His Highness should go over and take a look."

It felt like he had something to say but didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Lu Qi nodded and prepared to go over and take a look.

There were not many people at home at this time, so he only asked Katarina and Yurna to follow him.

On the way, the soldier also told how he met the suspicious person.

Because to make Luqi's version of the curing agent, you need to go outside the city to collect reeds. According to the speed, make some every day and wait for fermentation. The time is just right to continue what Luqi made at the beginning.

And that suspicious person was encountered during this process.

The other party came through the snow, with a mysterious aura about him, and several gems floating with him. He stopped in front of a flower, blocking the soldiers' route.

He showed no hostility, merely admonished the soldiers to stop and then drove them back.

So, some of the soldiers stayed behind, and he came back to report to Jarvan IV and Lu Qi.

After a while, Lu Qi and the soldiers arrived at the location of the suspicious person.

Jarvan IV, Galen and his party were already here, and their eyes were all focused on the long-haired man opposite.

The man has a muscular body and is wrapped in a gentle blue robe. Some of his skin is still exposed in the cold winter.

Around the two sapphire shoulder pads, crystal-like gems were suspended, emitting a beautiful halo that shone on the man's body, making his restrained but not low-key temperament quite extraordinary.

On his left hand, there was a white flower suspended. It was very beautiful, and its roots and soil were protected by a halo.

The other hand is holding a strange-shaped hammer, with a star-like brilliance in the center of the hammer.

He also looks quite handsome, and combined with his long flowing hair, he exudes a charm that is unique to him.

Seeing this man, Lu Qi narrowed his eyes.

After listening to the soldier's explanation just now, he had some guesses, and now the guesses have been confirmed.

This person is none other than the hero, Taric, the Shield of Valoran.

At this time, Taric was surrounded by some soldiers, led by Jarvan IV and Galen. The two looked at him with somewhat complicated expressions.

Others who knew him were filled with anger and contempt!

"Tariq, how dare you come back!"

"I said, if you dare to come back again, I will make you look good!"

"You traitor!"

"You are a coward who dare not take responsibility for your mistakes!"

Some of the soldiers yelled at him, from the Dauntless Vanguard.

"I never wanted to betray Demacia, it's just that there are too many missions waiting for me to complete."

Tariq's face remained calm in the face of their accusations, but his slightly twinkling eyes still betrayed his inner turmoil at the moment.

A soldier suddenly sneered: "Is this the reason why you neglected your duty and abandoned your protection target and a dozen compatriots?"

"I'm sorry about this." Tarik said in a low voice, trying to keep his tone calm, but you could also hear the guilt in his words.

But people didn't like him.

They no longer wanted to hear Tariq's apology.

They all felt ashamed of this coward.

Lu Qi listened to their conversation from a distance, and Tariq's story gradually became clear in his mind.

Taric was once a Demacian. Like all Demacians, he was influenced by the defense of his country since he was a child. Focus, selflessness, dedication and lofty ideals allowed him to shoulder some responsibilities.

However, he does not want to focus only on the country and individuals as the goal of protection.

He is unwilling to limit the scope of the people and things he wants to protect.

Tariq has shown outstanding talent since he was a child, and was given high hopes by his family and country. Even during that time, he was as famous as Galen.

This young warrior trained hard and was highly skilled in martial arts.

But in the few free moments he has, he will look for other ways to serve his country. He volunteered to travel with the Illuminators, tending the sick or helping to rebuild after floods.

He used his creative talents to help stonemasons and craftsmen erect monuments large and small, depicting the glory of the winged patron saint and the noble ideas it represented.

His friendly demeanor and warm personality were an immediate boost.

It didn't take long for him to successfully join the Fearless Vanguard, and he became good friends with Galen, who had just joined the Fearless Vanguard at the time.

However, as he grew older, Tarik's loose and free personality gradually became inconsistent with Demacia's high discipline and coordination.

Many of his actions are no longer allowed by discipline, such as running into the forest to look for traces of rare birds and animals. Absent from military training and competition, he sat in the tavern and listened to the bard's catchy ballads.

Or go out on horseback during a road patrol and watch the silver-gray night gradually fall over the suburban villages.

Tariq began to feel uncomfortable and was soon viewed as an insubordinate soldier, receiving special attention.

Later, he was assigned to escort a man to the outside world, and he was accompanied by a dozen fearless warriors.

Tariq was dissatisfied with this forced arrangement.

Overseas, the worst happened, and the team was attacked while taking a break.

While the fearless warriors fought tooth and nail against their foes, Tarik was absent from his post, rumored to be wandering the cloisters of a nearby ruined temple.

Everyone died in the battle, including the target he was trying to protect.

There is no doubt that Tariq made a major mistake this time, and he deserves to be severely punished and sent to the executioner's chopping block.

His friend, Garen Crownguard, came forward to intercede for him, which gave Taric a chance to live. However, the "Crown of Stone" he would face next was also very cruel - according to the oldest legend in Demacia Tradition has it that he will be sent to climb Mount Targon, and few will survive the climb to the top.

In order to make up for his mistakes and atone for his sins, Tarik got on the boat going south and headed to Mount Targon.

Just like this, he wanted to protect the heart and upright soul of all things, so he was chosen by the protector star spirit and gave him divine power.

That's right, Tarik at this moment is already a star spirit in Mount Targon.

Since then, he has never returned to Demacia, and everyone thought he was dead.

This was also the reason why Garen and Jarvan IV had complicated looks in their eyes when they saw him again.

Those who had known Tariq before and saw him again always thought that he was a coward who avoided his mistakes and lived an ignoble existence.

It's hard for Lucci to comment, but from a Demacian perspective, Tarik did indeed make a mistake.

But this is due to his character. He wants to protect not just people, but all things.

It is said that the reason why he went to the ruins of the ancient temple was that he did not want this sacred and gorgeous place that records history and time to disappear.

This was what Taric said at the time, but it fell on the ears of the Demacians and became an excuse for him to avoid his mistakes.

From a human perspective, can a dispensable temple be compared with a dozen human lives?

Luqi thinks no, he can't be like Tariq.

But he also knows that he can't force everyone to be like him.

The world is beautiful precisely because it is made up of all kinds of people with all kinds of wonderful ideas.

In short, Tariq's current scolding is not in vain.

It can be seen from his silence, neither refutation nor action, that he always feels guilty in his heart.

However, people don't need his false guilt. Can guilt save the lives of more than a dozen compatriots?

Galen raised his hand at this time, interrupted the soldiers' angry rebuke, looked at Tarik, his former friend who no longer had that bond, and asked calmly: "Tartik, what are you doing here? .”

"Galen, His Royal Highness the Fourth, long time no see."

At this moment, Tariq finally had the opportunity to greet these two friends, but in the face of his greeting, both of them chose to remain silent.

Tariq knew why the two men were so cold towards him, so he turned to look at the flower suspended in his hand: "The purpose of my coming here is for it. It is now the last one of its kind in the world." , it could have survived this cold winter and should not have perished in your hands."

"A broken flower, you are still so ridiculous, Tariq!"

A fearless warrior couldn't help but sneer when he heard it, and said sarcastically: "Because a plant is facing a former compatriot with swords, it is in line with my understanding of you."

Just now, in order for the soldiers not to continue digging and destroying the foundation of the flower, Tariq released a burst of energy and knocked them back.

Tariq remained silent in the face of the fearless warrior's cynicism.

Galen suppressed the disappointment in his heart and continued: "Just for this?"

At this time, he had some hope that Tariq could say something else.

He could never look at this friend who once sat on the top of the tower, looking at each other laughing, with the attitude of an enemy.

However, Taric really failed Galen.

He nodded and said calmly: "Yes, I have no intention of being your enemy."

Even the stupidest person could hear the unfamiliarity in the words.

At this time, Lu Qi also came on horseback and dismounted.

Looking at Tarik from a close distance, I found that he was quite tall, about 1.9 meters tall. He exuded a mysterious aura, which naturally gave people a sense of inaccessibility and alienation.

This was the first time Lu Qi saw a living star spirit, so his eyes were a bit unscrupulous, and he looked everywhere.

He even walked forward, got closer, looked at the floating gems around him a little impolitely and said, "This should be sold for a lot of money, right? Can you give me one? I'll exchange it for you." .”

Tariq twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the weirdo in front of him, and took a step back silently.

He didn't mind Lu Qi's impoliteness, because he could feel the difference between Lu Qi and the people around him at the first sight.

He raised his eyes and looked behind Lu Qi. He was slightly startled, and then moved his gaze back to Lu Qi: "You must be the second prince of Demacia."

"good."

Lu Qi nodded and stretched out his hand with a harmless smile.

Tarik hesitated for a moment, then the protective shield protecting the flower flew to his shoulder, then he stretched out his right hand and shook it with Lu Qi.

For some reason, he could always feel a different flavor from Lu Qi's eyes.

Very strange.

But what's wrong?

Can't tell.

Letting go of his hand, Galen said coldly: "Now that your mission is completed, leave, Tariq."

Lu Qi had never seen when Galen's face became so cold.

At this moment, he was ready to draw his sword if he disagreed.

"I'll leave."

When Tarik said this, he paused and looked at Galen and Jarvan IV. In the end, he couldn't say anything.

He made a Demacia gentleman's salute towards Lu Qi: "Then farewell, Your Highness."

Lu Qi was not in a hurry to drive him away, and even had the urge to take the living star spirit back: "Are you leaving now? Or go and sit in the city."

Jarvan IV helplessly raised his forehead and wanted to say, second brother, do you want to take a look at the current atmosphere.

If Tarik followed him to the hill city, he would probably be drowned in saliva.

Tariq was also surprised that Lu Qi would invite him, and then shook his head slightly: "No, we will meet again."

There seemed to be some connotation in his words. Before Lu Qi could ask, he had already turned around and left with the flower he wanted to protect this time.

Lu Qi looked at his back, sighed slightly with regret, and then rudely used the random skill copy card on him.

【Successfully used】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-level skill - Fortitude LV1]

Suddenly, Lu Qi's body seemed to be filled with a subtle power of the stars, and it felt very strange.

He checked the newly copied high-level skills and felt a little regretful.

I couldn't copy Gem's invincible ultimate move.

However, this Fortitude Barrier is also a very good skill.

W, which is a gem, can connect to an ally and provide a layer of armor to the opponent and yourself.

This increased armor is also considerable, and it is a high-level skill copied from a protoss.

Although Lucci will definitely not be as powerful as Taric when used, but judging from the armor provided, it is also a very high-quality self-defense skill.

After all, I got it for free.

Lu Qi was quite satisfied.

He looked at Tariq's back, a little curious about what he just said.

Why, is there still some certainty in that sentence?

"Let's go."

At this time, Jarvan IV patted his shoulder, looked at Tarik's back, sighed, and turned to leave.

At this time, Tarik gradually walked away in the eyes that contained roars, shame, and contempt.

The flower that he protected gradually floated in front of him.

While he was looking at the beauty of the last flower in the world, he was in a trance.

After so many years, he never thought that he would come back again.

He looked around and saw that the once lush and green fields were now devastated by war.

What he protects is everything in the world, so he clearly understands why he is fighting.

He could no longer agree with Demacia's ideals and could no longer fight for the country and its people.

When his eyes returned to the flower, Tariq's mind unconsciously recalled the disappointed, distant, and cold eyes of his former best friend.

Recalling the disdainful looks of those partners who once fought side by side.

There was still a stinging feeling in my heart.

Over the years, he has never forgotten the mistakes he made, and even keeps thinking about them to remind himself.

He sometimes even has nightmares. Even if he is blessed by the stars, he will still dream about the tragic situation of his compatriots who died in the war.

However, now that he has become a protoss, he has shouldered a more important mission, and as a protoss, he does not know how to make up for his past mistakes.

Under normal circumstances, protoss is rarely allowed to interfere in mortal affairs.

Because they have greater power, they cannot interfere too much with the natural progress of this land.

Sighing without trace, Tariq's steps became harder and harder, and his back completely disappeared from people's sight.

Lu Qi and others mounted their horses and headed back towards the hill city.

Katarina thought about Tarik just now, and her keen intuition felt that the other party possessed a very powerful power.

He didn't even need to show off his aura, just standing there calmly could make her feel a sense of oppression.

Is there such a thing on the continent of Valoran?

She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the horse's rope.

After leaving Noxus, she realized that the world seemed to be more than what she knew.

Lu Qi was also thinking about Tariq, and he didn't know much about the protoss.

However, from his standpoint, these guys with powerful power are still relatively reliable.

After all, they are present in every crisis in Rune Land.

At least they maintain the harmony and tranquility of this planet with little interference from humans, while preparing for the struggle that is yet to come.

And why did Lu Qi take different sides?

Because a certain dragon definitely disagrees with him.
