Chapter 226: Share good things with your neighbors first
After notifying the news, Shanshan City immediately launched countermeasures.
In the conference hall.
Lucci asked Shyvana: "How long will it take until the dragon arrives?"
After hearing this, Shyvana closed her eyes and felt it carefully. After opening it, she replied: "One day at the latest."
One day at the latest, but I don’t know how long it will take at the earliest.
After all, with the flying speed of the giant dragon, if it really wanted to hit the road, it would have to be extremely fast.
Lu Qi knew that he had to take action as soon as possible.
From the day he met Shyvana outside the hill city, Lu Qi knew that it would be a matter of time to deal with this dragon.
So he had already anticipated what would happen today and made preparations in advance.
From the beginning, he had no intention of letting Shyvana leave alone.
"You come with me."
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
Shyvana saw this and followed him.
The two of them quickly returned to Lu Qi's residence, one after the other.
Then, he opened the door of a storage room.
Light spilled into the door, immediately reflecting a puppet inside.
This is a humanoid puppet in the form of a woman. Upon closer inspection, it looks very similar to Shyvana's body shape.
Lu Qi instilled spiritual power into the puppet, and the next second, something magical happened.
The puppet actually stood up directly.
The scene before her eyes made Shyvana a little dazed.
She didn't feel the magic aura, and she couldn't help but wonder how Lu Qi did it.
It was actually the first time for Lu Qi to control a puppet, but after all, he was a LV7 puppet master. Even though it was his first time, the experience engraved in his bones allowed him to naturally know what to do.
"Next, I want you to fill this puppet with as much of your magical energy as possible."
Lu Qi controlled the puppet with his mind to walk to Shvana's side and said aloud at the same time.
The puppet stopped in front of Shyvana.
Although Shyvana didn't know why she did this, she still nodded, raised her hand and placed it on the puppet.
The next second, she began to continuously use her magic power, and her hands began to be covered in magic light. The puppet began to slowly absorb her magic power, emitting a light red light.
The temperature of the entire storage room also began to rise as Shyvana cast her magic power.
When Lu Qi saw this, he didn't bother him and waited patiently.
Among the puppets, he added forbidden magic stone as a material, so it can absorb magic power.
This is very important. The real effect of the forbidden magic stone is to absorb and store magic power, not to seal it. Even if the magic power is absorbed, it will still exist.
And there is no need to worry about the puppet being destroyed by Shyvana's fire magic.
"alright."
After about ten minutes, Shyvana withdrew her hand. She could feel that the puppet had reached the limit of receiving magic power.
"Okay, drink this next."
Lu Qi then took out a bottle of light cyan potion, handed it to Shyvana, and explained in her doubtful eyes: "This can temporarily help you hide your own aura, at least for a period of time, you will not be exposed by that person." The dragon discovered.”
Shyvana nodded, took the potion, opened the cork, and drank it without hesitation.
It's fruity and quite sweet.
After drinking it, she didn't feel anything special happen, so she looked at Lu Qi, waiting for his next instruction.
Lu Qi glanced at Shyvana and felt that there did seem to be some changes in her aura.
But after all, it is produced by the system, and its efficacy is still worthy of trust.
"Next, wait for me to come back in Hill City."
Lu Qi said, walking outside.
Returning to the conference hall, he began to make arrangements. Around evening, Lu Qi took the puppet and left the hill city.
The night is dark.
Gate of Sorrow.
On the city wall, some Noxian soldiers were watching, and some were patrolling. Under strict surveillance, any slightest movement outside the city would immediately arouse vigilance.
Lu Qi's figure was revealed in the forest, and he looked at the Noxian soldiers on the wall. He was not anxious, but patiently waited for the opportunity.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Under the night, the torches on the city wall kept burning.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier saw the dragon bird galloping from a distance and shouted: "Alert! An enemy is coming!"
The next second, on the blurry horizon, dragon and bird knights flew over quickly.
In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the city wall.
The leader, Xisilia, held a thrusting spear in her hand, swung it, and swept an enemy off the city wall with just one blow.
The Silver Winged Dragon swung her tail, and another soldier who was rushing towards him was swept away.
The other dragon bird knights also launched attacks directly.
The guards on the city wall also reacted very quickly. They immediately gathered and launched a counterattack. The battle between the two sides was about to break out.
The arrows and shouts continued, but no one noticed that a figure had already jumped over the city wall.
Listen to the sound of fighting behind you.
Lu Qi did not waste any time and took off the masked man's cloak. This cloak also had the effect of hiding the aura.
Combined with the Divine Hidden Technique, it can be said that the word "lurking" is completely implemented.
Under the cloak, there was a pair of Noxian armor. Then he put on the helmet and ran towards the city at a natural pace.
Just after passing a corner, they met a group of supporting troops.
The leader asked Lu Qi: "What's going on over there?"
Lu Qi's voice was urgent: "A group of dragon and bird knights came and have already killed several of our brothers."
"You continue to call for support." The man heard this and continued to rush towards the city wall: "Others, follow me!"
Just like that, I passed by a small team.
And this is only the first one.
Now, in the Gate of Sorrow, the city is filled with Noxian soldiers. Their total number probably exceeds six figures.
The Noxian army has always relied on numbers as its advantage.
Lu Qi didn't find it too strange that there were so many people.
In the air, dozens of wind-winged knights flew past, rushing towards the city wall.
When there were more soldiers around, Lu Qi's solitary figure was no longer so strange.
"Should I say it or not, it smells really strong."
The helmet that Lu Qi wore could cover his mouth and nose, but when he walked on the street, the smell that seemed to be irresistible floated into his nose, making him hold his breath.
"It's best not to let me catch you, the one who threw himself into the sky!"
"Damn it, I can't smell anything in my nose these days, but I can still smell this stench."
"Stop talking, I haven't slept well in almost ten days."
"What's going on at the city gate?"
"Who knows, those dragon and bird knights may be here again, Mad, they are really addicted to throwing."
"Who came up with such a bad idea like Touxiang?"
The soldiers gathered in groups of three or five. When they heard that the dragon and bird knights were coming again, they all started to curse.
"Hey, brother, is there a fire?"
As Lu Qi was walking, someone suddenly spoke to him.
The man was rummaging around for something on his body to no avail, so he looked at Lu Qi.
Lu Qi took out a box of matches from his pocket, took one out, struck it, and with a swish sound, the match lit up.
He handed it over.
"Thanks."
The man was not wearing a helmet. He had a face in his thirties, a mustache, and a rolled cigarette in his hand.
Taking the match, he lit the cigarette, took two puffs, and asked, "Would you like some?"
"No." Lu Qi shook his head and asked curiously: "Can you still suck it? Doesn't this smell strong?"
"Hey, this is nothing. The smell of the pigsty in my hometown is worse than this. I still lie down in it and sleep."
The man laughed, sat on the wooden box next to him, and asked, "Where are you from, brother?"
Lucci said casually: "It's from Triwell."
"You're a local." The man glanced at him, took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the white smoke, and said enviously: "It's great. After this battle, you can go home directly. My home is in Kulsala, and I don’t know when I can go back, and I don’t know when this battle will be over.”
Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "If nothing else happens, it should be soon."
"Hurry up." The man smiled: "I don't want to fight a war, so let's end it as soon as possible. I don't know what's going on up there, so I'm just going to stir up trouble in the west. I've fought so many times over the years. War, I have finally understood the truth. There is nothing good about war. It hurts people, money, and land. A lot of people will die every year because of this bad thing, whether it is our people or the people on the opposite side. Anyway, why bother?”
Lu Qi asked: "Then why are you still fighting?"
"It won't work if you don't fight. If you don't fight, you will spend your whole life looking at other people's faces and raising pigs all your life. Then the pigs that you have worked hard to raise are taken by the nobles before they can be sold for a good price. They throw away money that you can't even do anything for, and they get it for nothing. A few fat and tender pigs.”
The man smoked and sighed: "My dream is to be a cook, but how can I have the money to open a shop in this situation? Even if I open it, I have to pay 30% tax a year. After paying the tax, I still have to deal with local warlords and Nobles, the money I will get by then will not be enough to drink the northwest wind. I have no way to survive, so I can only serve as a soldier. I can only fight. After the war, I will be transformed when I go back, and I will be a master."
Lu Qi nodded: "That's right."
The man looked at him: "I hear your voice is quite young. You must have just joined the army not long ago, right?"
Lu Qi neither responded nor denied, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"I knew it." The man smiled as expected, and then said: "As someone who has been there, let me teach you something. It's a bit of experience. When fighting a war, don't rush forward thinking about military achievements and military achievements. Then Things are earned by those who are capable. All we need is qualifications and living. Only by living can we have qualifications, understand?"
Lu Qi nodded.
"You still have a long way to go, so I feel relieved. This is my last battle in the army. I will never have to suffer from this nonsense again."
The man took a puff of cigarette with pride and his mustache trembled. Thinking of something, he raised his eyes and asked, "Do you have any dreams?"
Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "I am also a cook."
"Isn't this a coincidence?" The man laughed in a sympathetic tone: "Another day, let's discuss cooking skills."
Lu Qi said: "If there is a chance."
"I have time at any time." Perhaps because of the same interest, the man looked at Lu Qi and felt more friendly, so he waved.
As Lu Qi approached, he saw the man take out a piece of drawing paper folded in half from his arms. The drawing paper popped open, revealing a little girl with a hemp rope whip drawn on it.
"This is my daughter." The man took a puff of his cigarette proudly and said, "Doesn't it look good? She said she likes to eat the food I cook the most."
Lu Qi looked at it and praised, "It's quite cute."
"Right." There was a smile and reminiscence on the man's face: "However, this is what she looked like a few years ago, and I don't know how old she is now. After this battle, I can go back to see her, and then Open a small restaurant in our town and cook her favorite meals every day. When you are free, just come and mention my name, Furyk, it will definitely help."
Lu Qi did not nod again this time and looked at Furyk: "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, come and chat with me when you're free."
Furyk looked at his daughter's painting in a trance and replied. When he looked up again to ask Lu Qi's name, he found that the person had disappeared.
He continued to sit there, slowly smoking a cigarette, filled with smoke.
Lu Qi walked towards a place with few people.
At least, I came to the Gate of Sorrow.
He knew that Noxus was not as glamorous as it seemed.
In such a large empire, how many people are actually standing?
This is not a question that he should think about. All he has to do is protect Demacia.
Soon, Lu Qi found the sewer entrance in the city. The drainage method here is the same as that in Demacia, and it is connected to a water channel.
So, when you go down the stairs, you naturally enter the sewer.
The smell inside is even more pungent, and obviously no one would run here with nothing to do.
Fortunately, Lu Qi held his breath immediately.
He found a hidden location, took out the puppet from the system backpack, and placed it there.
Then, he left without looking back.
At least, before the hill city faces that giant dragon, this kind of good thing must be shared with good neighbors to enjoy first.
It was much easier to leave the city than to enter the city. At this time, the silver-winged dragon bird was hovering above the city wall, constantly circling with the wind-winged dragon, attracting the attention of the Noxian soldiers on the city wall.
Lu Qi put on the masked man's cloak, quickly jumped over the city wall, and headed towards the hill city.
After he left, about ten minutes later, the dragon and bird knights in the sky also began to evacuate.
In Patria's office.
"These damn dragon and bird knights! Over and over again!"
Patria slapped her hands on the table angrily, her eyes seeming to spit out fire.
If I have nothing to do with those dragon and bird knights, I have to fly to the Gate of Sorrow and continue to provoke Noxus!
Nowadays, it is even more true that you can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want.
He simply didn't take them into consideration.
Patria has fought in many battles, but when has she ever been wronged like this!
The anger in his heart continued to burn vigorously, and it had reached the critical point of exploding!
All around, a group of lieutenants lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Even if the group of dragon and bird knights provoked them again and again, there was really nothing they could do.
The opponent's advantage in the air is absolutely crushing.
After venting for a while, Patria's anger subsided.
It was late at night and many people had fallen asleep.
"Huchi"
"Huchi"
"Huchi"
From high in the sky, huge sounds continued to come, as if something was flapping its wings.
Some people who were not sleeping couldn't help but raise their heads and look towards the sky.
Furyk was looking at his daughter's portrait when he heard the noise. He subconsciously looked up and saw a huge black shadow getting closer and closer.
"Roar!!"
Along with a deafening roar, black flames spurted out from the black shadow.
I admit that this chapter is a bit weak. I've been having a headache lately due to the change in my daily routine, and I want to take a good rest.
