Chapter 236 Maybe this is the charm that I have nowhere to put

The next day.

Lu Qi woke up sleepily. If he hadn't been running out of time, he would have thought of taking an extra day of rest in Wheel Wal.

In contrast, as soon as I close my eyes and open my eyes, I will be the crowned lady of the next day, and I am in great spirits.

She looked energetic early in the morning.

On the way to pack up and prepare to leave Lunwall, she had become accustomed to Lu Qi's sleepy face and yawning all the time.

However, this time Lux still took a serious look at Lu Qi's face.

Lu Qi's straight eyes made Lu Qi feel a little uncomfortable. He turned his head and asked, "What are you worried about?"

"Did you secretly take some skin care medicine yourself?"

Lux looked at him suspiciously and stretched out her little hand to pinch his face.

Lu Qi leaned back and looked at her: "Which grown man uses those things?"

"Weird." Lux was still suspicious.

After spending so much time with this guy, she could naturally tell at a glance that Lu Qi's face seemed different from usual.

It’s not that they look different, but they feel different when they look at them.

In other words, it's a bit more pleasing to the eye.

Usually just sitting there makes me want to punch him. Now before I beat him, I might feel a little pity in my heart. It's a pity that this face is ruined.

Yes, that's pretty much what it feels like.

Lux touched her chin with her little hand and analyzed it in her mind for a long time.

"Maybe this is the charm that I have nowhere to put."

Finally, a Dragon King smile appeared on the corner of Lu Qi's mouth, and that narcissistic expression appeared again.

She finally came to a conclusion.

Still deserves a beating!

In fact, she was not the only one, but several others naturally discovered this, but the change was not particularly big, it just made people want to take another look more than usual.

Lux looked around, but found that Vayne was not there, and couldn't help but ask: "Where have Vayne and the others gone?"

"Oh, they have an urgent mission."

So Lu Qi briefly talked about what happened last night.

Lux and Kashina, who slowly finished listening, opened their eyes wide and were a little dazed.

The two girls didn't expect that they would miss such a thing because of their snooze.

Lu Qi did not tell them about the devil in advance, he felt it was not necessary.

After searching the area last night, Evelin's whereabouts could not be found, and Frey also sent a letter, stating that Evelin had left Wheelwall and they would pursue her all the way.

An old demon hunter with qualifications and experience, and a bright sentinel with a bright future, plus one hundred and fifty reliable manpower.

Lu Qi can safely leave this task to them.

And Vayne also hopes that she can personally resolve the hatred of that year.

Lux and Kashina, who already knew about Vayne's life experience, expressed their support after hearing this and believed that Vayne would be able to succeed.

When daybreak came, Lu Qi's team had already left Lunwall and set off towards Tobitsia City.

It took a little more than a day, faster than when I arrived.

And while standing at the port, looking at a ship, Lux, who was pale-faced, finally remembered the nightmare of being ruled by seasickness medicine.

Standing on the boat, her face was covered with a mask of pain.

Lu Qi watched her drink the prepared seasickness medicine without hesitation, then knitted her brows together, with an uncomfortable expression on her face, which was quite funny.

After patting her on the shoulder and telling her that this kind of life would last for about five more days, Lu Qi turned around and prepared to take a nap.

The days on the boat were quite boring. In summary, there wasn't much that could be done, as if every day was repeated.

But that’s how life is, living a monotonous life day by day.

Maybe some people will suddenly think one day: "This kind of life is not the life I want."

Then resolutely prepare to start a bright and wonderful life.

Unfortunately, Lu Qi will probably never have such an idea in his mind.

He even likes the current life very much. He likes the feeling of killing time in a boring life and feeling the passage of time carefree.

The boat traveled on the river for about five days, and finally gradually returned to the center of the kingdom from the distant border.

The closer you are to the royal capital, the more stable you feel in your heart.

December 27th.

On this sunny day, Lu Qi's team arrived at the gate of the royal capital.

At the gate of the royal capital city, countless people have received the news and are waiting for the team returning in triumph.

From entering the city gate to walking on every street, the roads on both sides were crowded with people, wreaths and cheers were constantly ringing, and the lively atmosphere seemed like it was a festival today.

Lu Qi was just like he was in Lunwall that day, riding a horse and walking at the front, bathing in people's gaze and moving forward slowly.

Stepping onto the familiar streets, his mood also returned to calm.

At this time, Katarina, who did not expect to enter the capital of Demacia so smoothly, followed the team and looked around at the scenery of the capital.

In fact, she had already seen it on the way, and now that she came to the royal capital, she was even more convinced.

Demacia and Noxus are definitely the two most different countries.

From the architecture, to the customs, to the people, nothing is the same.

If Demacia is a highly disciplined country, you can see it by looking at its royal capital.

There are people everywhere on the street, but it does not appear chaotic. No matter how many people there are, basic order is still maintained.

And on everyone's face, all she could see were true emotions from the heart.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too festive, making Catalina feel a little uncomfortable at this moment.

She looked around, and couldn't help but think that her father might be somewhere in this city at this moment.

No matter what, we must find him and prevent the tragedy from happening.

Riding on his horse, Lu Qi went directly to the palace with his troops.

Lux, who was eager to return home, couldn't wait to go home, and so did Kashina and Sona.

Poppy followed Lu Qi to the palace.

Arriving at the entrance of the palace, a group of people were arranged to follow him in, while the remaining people waited.

Urna and Katarina were also placed outside.

At this time, Catalina was also looking at the palace, thinking that the king of Demacia was here now.

The palace is very majestic in decoration. The walls, stone pillars, and statues are all made of forbidden magic stone. There are traces of history on them, telling the palace's long-standing sense of the times.

Looking at the guards patrolling all around, they closely and seamlessly monitored every corner.

Catalina felt that no assassin could successfully assassinate under this level of defense.

Lu Qi, on the other hand, had already entered the palace and rushed straight to the conference hall.

Pushing open the door of the conference hall, all the ministers sitting inside the door stood up in unison.

Even several people at the octagonal table stood up solemnly to welcome Lu Qi's return.

Seeing the grand welcome ceremony of the ministers, Lu Qi smiled at the third generation who also stood up with a kind smile on his face: "Father, I am back."

Jarvan III stepped forward, hugged Lu Qi, and then let go, looking at him with pride: "Well done, I'm proud of your achievements."

Tiana was behind, looking at Lu Qi with a smile on her face.

Seeing that the boy who was taller than Jarvan III and no different from before was now the main contributor to Demacia's defeat of Noxus, she felt inexplicably emotional.

She didn't think it was her fault for forcing this kid.

She was thinking that even without her, Lu Qi would still be standing here today.

The father and son didn't chat too much, after all, there were so many people present.

Later, Lu Qi also talked about the border issues in general. Many of the things here were already known, but hearing it from Lu Qi, the person involved, naturally felt different.

"What does the dragon look like?"

Some ministers couldn't help but curiously asked questions after hearing about the magic dragon.

Even among the people present, no one had ever seen a living giant dragon.

"It can be described as huge. It is several times bigger than the Silver Winged Dragon. It can swallow a person alive when it opens its mouth."

Lu Qi's description sounded a bit exaggerated, but he quickly added: "This time, I brought back the skull of the demon dragon. You will know after seeing it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

Soon, the soldiers who followed Lu Qi into the palace brought in the demon dragon's skull.

And when the demon dragon skull appeared, even though it had turned into white bones, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall still dropped.

Just by looking at it, people seemed to be able to imagine the majesty and terror of this demonic dragon during its lifetime.

It can bring such a sense of oppression after death. People can't help but think about how terrifying the dragon feels when it is alive.

After that, the heavy dragon skull was placed on the octagonal table, completely occupying it.

The surrounding ministers gathered around him out of curiosity, and a few people on the octagonal floor also observed it from a close distance.

It was indeed very big. It was hard to imagine that this was actually the skull of a creature. The ministers who had previously thought Lu Qi's words were exaggerated now realized that their vision was narrow.

“So big and hard”

"It's such a ferocious and terrifying thing."

"His this feeling."

The ministers commented one after another, while putting their hands on the demon dragon's skull, it felt like touching a jade pendant, with a cool and smooth feeling.

There were also many people present who felt the magical elements that still remained in the demon dragon's skull.

After Eldred looked at it for a few times, he pondered for a second and said, "Your Majesty, can I take this demon dragon skull away and study it for a while?"

"I am not the one who slayed the dragon. Let's ask him this question."

When Jiawen III heard this, he just shook his head slightly and pointed at Lu Qi.

Although he could indeed make the decision, he didn't want to.

Hearing this, Eldred turned to Lu Qi and bowed: "Your Highness, can you allow me to take away the demon dragon's skull and study it?"

For the demon-forbidden people, this demon dragon's skull is indeed of great research value.

The magical element inside is something extremely new to them.

In response to Eldred's request, Lu Qi quickly responded: "I plan to hang this dragon skull in the military camp of the royal capital to boost military morale. And this dragon skull has the power to dispose of it." It is they who are the real heroes in slaying the dragon."

Lu Qi did not intend to take the credit for slaying the dragon. After all, he did not do much except setting up an ambush.

The ones who really charge at the front are those brave and capable soldiers, Shyvana who is willing to compete with the dragon at the risk of her life.

Shyvana is still outside the country, and she is not ready to come to the royal capital yet. But after a while, he should return with Jarvan IV.

If there are any other reasons.

That's because Lu Qi didn't want to hand over this demon dragon skull to the demon banner.

When Eldred heard this, he no longer insisted and nodded: "I understand His Highness's intention."

Soon, the novelty of the demon dragon skull wore off.

According to Lu Qi's wishes, the demon dragon's skull was sent to the military camp and will be hung there to boost military morale.

In the conference hall, Jarvan III made a summary of the Gate of Sorrow incident.

Finally, he looked at Lu Qi and said: "Lu Qi contributed a lot to the Gate of Sorrow this time. If he hadn't noticed the movement of the demon dragon in advance and used it, I don't know how long the stalemate between the two sides will be. During this period, I don't know what will happen." How many innocent people have suffered. In view of Lu Qi's outstanding performance this time, I intend to promote him to lieutenant general."

Lu Qi has a rank in the army, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go to the battlefield just as he says, and lead the troops as soon as he says he wants to.

He had already been promoted to the rank of major general long ago, and now he will be promoted to lieutenant general soon.

The speed can be said to be quite fast.

But this time, no one objected.

Tiana stood up and was the first to say: "I have no objection."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

Then, more and more ministers came forward to agree.

Lu Qi's promotion is a certainty.

It was different from last time because what Lu Qi achieved this time was real military achievements.

Together with Jarvan IV, the two of them slayed the dragon and wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, recaptured the Gate of Sorrow, and beheaded the enemy generals on the spot.

This is already a remarkable achievement.

And the most important thing is that merit is not only about killing enemies.

Without Lucci's early decision-making, he would not have been able to proactively respond to Noxus' movements.

In this battle, Demacia was able to end the war with such a great victory with so few casualties. It can be said that Lucci's contribution was also considerable.

Therefore, he was promoted to lieutenant general without any opposition.

Lu Qi came back early, so he was rewarded for his contribution first.

Later, when Jarvan IV and others come back, they will be rewarded again.

In this battle, the one who performed outstandingly, besides Jarvan IV, Galen, and Lev, was Sisilia.

On the battlefield, she was fearless and brave enough to kill the enemy, and her performance was naturally seen in people's eyes.

There is no doubt that after returning, what awaits Xislia will be the achievement of a knighthood.

Lu Qi was sincerely happy for her. He had always been optimistic about this girl who was always full of fighting spirit for the future.
