Chapter 249 It’s you who suffers from the pinch.

After a brief chat, Peter wanted to pick up Lux and go back to Crown Guard's house first, and Sona and the others happened to be able to go there as well.

Fiona wanted to go back to the Laurent family first, so Lucci went to ride on the Laurent family's carriage.

The team split into two and set off in two directions.

The carriage swayed forward, and the person driving in front was Amuda. Although he was Fiona's brother and the eldest son of the Laurent family, he was now more like Fiona's assistant.

In the carriage, Fiona and Lu Qi were sitting opposite each other.

With a cold face, Miss Jian Ji opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, with no intention of talking to Lu Qi.

This made the atmosphere in the carriage a little more awkward, looking at her cold and pretty face.

Lu Qi knew that men had to be shameless at this time, so he stood up and prepared to sit next to her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, the carriage bumped, and his head hit the ceiling directly, causing him to take a breath of air in pain.

He covered his head and his expression twisted together.

At this moment, Fiona suddenly couldn't hold herself any longer. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and such a smile immediately broke the gong. When she saw that the cold could no longer go away, she lowered the car curtain, turned her head, and looked at Lu Qi: "Does it hurt?"

"a little bit."

Lu Qi took the opportunity to sit next to her. The two of them were so close that they could smell each other's scent.

Fiona glanced at him with her cold eyes and sneered: "You deserve it."

There was room for many people in the carriage, and he insisted on squeezing over, but she didn't move away, and even moved closer.

Lu Qi knew why she was still angry, so he took the initiative to explain: "I didn't reply to you. Isn't it because I wanted to come to Mithril City and give you a surprise?"

Fiona sneered lightly: "For this surprise, I have been waiting for your reply for more than ten days."

When Lu Qi heard this, he smiled and said, "Who knew you missed me so much? Hiss!"

After saying this, he only felt a sharp pinch on his thigh, but Fiona always had a calm expression on her face.

And he has no intention of letting go.

"Stop pinching me. If I pinch you, you will be the one who suffers!"

Lu Qi gasped in pain.

Having said that, Fiona did let go.

Lu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly wanted to sit further away, but as soon as he made a move, he saw the eyes of the sword girl next to him looking over. There was still unconcealable longing in those cold eyes.

She grabbed Lu Qi's collar, raised her head slightly, and moved her bright red lips towards him.

Their lips met, and all words seemed to be integrated into the kiss.

She has never been one to hide her feelings.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to be caught by this bitch, but just thinking about it, when I looked up and suddenly saw this guy, the feeling of surprise was not fake.

After a long kiss, the two separated, and a crystalline thread was drawn between them.

Fiona licked her moist red lips, her breathing quickened a little, and there were a few touches of red on her face. Against the usual cold posture, she looked very beautiful at the moment.

A pair of eyes also trembled and flickered slightly, and their brilliance was moving.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the carriage escalated.

However, Fiona still restrained her impulse, raised her eyes to look at Lu Qi, and said coldly: "I will forgive you this time. If you dare to prepare such a substandard surprise next time, I will not forgive you lightly."

For some reason, Lu Qi looked at Miss Sword Girl in front of him and suddenly felt that she was a bit cute.

Her image usually has nothing to do with cuteness.

He nodded with a smile on his face, and then reached out to hold Fiona's hand. The latter did not struggle and let him hold it in his hand.

Not long after the duel in the Sword Hall ended, the result of the battle had spread throughout Misilver City.

It immediately aroused discussions all over the city, and almost every place in the streets and alleys was discussing this matter.

People are no longer unfamiliar with the name Fiona Laurent.

The relevant discussion at this time is more about when she will be ranked first in the sword list. Based on Fiona's current performance in Mithril City, people feel that this is only a matter of time.

At this point, she herself is also full of confidence.

If each of the top ten duels on the list didn't take more preparation time than usual, Fiona could even challenge two in one day.

Lu Qi went to visit the Laurent family in Mithril City. Along the way, the Laurent family looked at Fiona with respect.

Nowadays, her status in the Laurent family can be said to be second only to a few elders. After experiencing the royal capital, they also intend to give in and are no longer prepared to interfere in family affairs.

In other words, Fiona is now basically equivalent to the acting patriarch of Laurent in Mithril City.

The Laurent family in Mithril City does look like a family of swordsmen, several times larger than the one in the royal capital. Recently, under Fiona's deliberate recruitment, clan members from all over have gathered here. , relatives, distant relatives.

In the past, the Laurent family was immersed in the glory of the past and did not have close contact with their distant relatives in these places, and those distant relatives were not even nobles.

However, looking at it now, it turns out that there are not many talented people in this clan, but there are many talented people among distant relatives.

After Fiona took power, the first thing she did was to eliminate the classes within the family. If she wanted to build a real and pure swordsmanship family, the first thing she had to do was solve the inequality in status.

If status is unequal, there will always be discrimination.

So, she treated everyone equally, opened the door of her family, and summoned all her brothers and sisters from distant relatives. In addition, she also granted noble status to everyone under her family. The requirement was that every Laurent clan member should unite as one. Dedicated to the pursuit of the most exquisite swordsmanship.

Now, after a period of changes, the dross of the Laurent family's past is showing signs of being removed.

It will take some time to achieve real change.

But Fiona believes that she can succeed.

Lu Qi sat in the backyard, listening to Miss Sword Girl talking about her great ideals and ambitions, looking at her bright eyes and the confident smile on her lips.

The breeze gently blew the tips of her hair, and Lu Qi felt that she was as dazzling as a diamond at this moment.

After staying in the Laurent family for a while, the two set off for the Crownguard family to join Lux and the others.

It's just noon now, so I can have lunch there.

The timing of coming today is perfect, as we can catch a dragon and bird celebration in the afternoon.

Misilver City is known as the "City of Dragon Birds". There are many dragon birds here, and the base of the dragon bird knights is also here.

The Dragon Bird Celebration is an event for visiting dragon birds and dragon bird knights. The celebration is not a festival. Similar celebrations are held several times a year.

This time Lu Qi and others also caught up.

So in the afternoon, under the hurried urging of Miss Crown Guard, several people went out onto the street and headed towards the celebration.

It's still a while before the real celebration begins, but the atmosphere on the street has already been heightened, with people coming and going everywhere, and it's quite a buzz.

On the streets surrounding the Celebration Square, various stalls have been set up, as well as some entertainment stalls.

These are not surprising, after all, they are also found in the streets of the royal capital.

Lu Qi and the others were playing, shopping, and walking towards the celebration square, waiting for the celebration to start.

Miss Crown Guard, who had just eaten three bunches of candied haws in the morning, now held three more bunches in her hand, walking struttingly on the street, giving people the feeling of a village bully returning to the village.

Along the way, passers-by also raised eyebrows. After seeing that it was Lux, people's impressions suddenly became clear.

Many people remember that many years ago in Mithril City, there was a little girl with blond hair who was very eye-catching.

Anyone who has met her will find it hard to forget.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the crowded Dragon Bird Square was almost full of people, and at both ends of the square were two huge dragon bird statues.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Suddenly, several salutes shot into the sky, signaling the beginning of the celebration.

Amid the salute, the chirping of dragon birds rang out, and a row of black shadows descended in the sky. They were dragon birds with wings spread, flying in a neat queue over people's heads.

The lively atmosphere suddenly boiled up, and the dragon and bird celebration began!

Lu Qi and others sat in the auditorium with a better view, watching the celebration and immersed in the lively atmosphere.

Under the blue sky, dragons and birds are flying and flying.

The celebration lasted until the evening. Sitting on the carriage home, Lux had obviously not recovered from the atmosphere of the celebration, her little face was still excited.

"I haven't seen the Dragon and Bird Festival in many years. It's still as lively as ever."

After hearing her words, everyone present nodded slightly.

The dragon and bird celebration is indeed more lively than the celebration in the royal capital.

Even Catalina looked up and saw those silver-winged dragon birds spreading their wings and flying past. When everyone's cheers rang in her ears and the salutes rose into the sky, her heart couldn't help but be immersed in this atmosphere.

A few people chatted about the dragon and bird celebration just now and slowly went home.

After returning to Mianwei's house, the sky had darkened, and we had another dinner there.

Because they still have to go to Forsbarrow, they can only stay in Mithril City for one day at most, and they will continue to leave after tonight.

Late at night.

Located in Forsbarrow.

The town is located on a jagged mountain range with steep terrain. At the other end of the town, there are rugged ravines and gravel-strewn cliffs.

A dark figure came quietly.

The figure and the night seemed to be one entity, but her enchanting figure could be vaguely seen, with several demonic tail whips swinging behind her.

She landed on the ground, her figure completely revealed, looking at a low tomb not far in front of her, her charming eyes flashed, and she said to herself: "You are still sleeping after so long, it seems that human being has indeed taken you The injury is serious.”

She strolled forward, came to the tomb, raised her hand, and then a wave of demonic power condensed in her hand, and the dark aura lingered, gradually turning into a teardrop-shaped black gas.

"After sleeping for so long, it's time to get up and move around."

As the words fell, the black teardrops on his hand detached, fell downwards, and then disappeared entirely into the tomb, making no sound.

She was not in a hurry, her eyes were still looking at the tomb, and she was waiting quietly.

After a few minutes, a strange wind suddenly blew, and the tomb finally started to stir, like boiling spring water, and suddenly a black gas came out.

Seeing this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Have fun, if you are happy, I can be happy too."

After muttering lowly to herself, a coldness flashed in her eyes.

It was a great shame for her to be hunted down by the prey she once regarded as food and end up in such an embarrassing situation.

However, now she has no choice.

But when I happened to pass by here, I thought of something.

When she was traveling in this country called Demacia, she knew that there was a demon of the same level as her in this land.

The other party should also know about her. There is a silent understanding between the two demons. They each occupy an area and never disturb each other.

Later she heard that the demons in the north had been wiped out by humans, and she laughed for a while.

It's really ridiculous that a dignified devil could be put into such a situation by humans.

But he didn't expect that her current situation was not much better than his.

Not only was part of his power taken away, but his name and whereabouts were also in the hands of humans. He was hunted all the way and could not find a suitable opportunity to restore his power.

But if one demon doesn't work, two demons can do it, right?

Thinking of this, her figure merged with the darkness again and disappeared.

And shortly after she left, the dark atmosphere on the tomb began to become more and more turbulent, as if something terrifying had awakened from its slumber.

Black air lingered, rising into the sky, and then gathered together, like a pair of devil's eyes, gradually covering the sky above the town of Forsbarrow.

The next day.

Luqi, who got up early in the morning, said goodbye to Fiona who was bedridden, and went to the Crown Guard family to join Lux and the others.

Before leaving the house, he had a proud smile on his lips and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

Although his steps were frivolous and he looked weak, the smile on his lips became brighter when he thought about the battle last night.

Health elixir is really a good thing.

Once the buff is applied, it is like a divine help, and the originally disadvantageous match suddenly becomes evenly matched.

Although in the end, he ended up with a lose-lose outcome, Lu Qi believed that this would be the first step in his rise!

When he arrived at the Crownguard family, Lux and the others had just gotten up.

There were not many empty rooms in the Crown Guard's house, which gave Lucci a reason to spend the night at the Laurent family.

While waiting, Lu Qi practiced health-preserving techniques in the yard.

After breakfast and a brief tidying up, the group of people were ready to continue setting off.

Mithril City is not far from Forsbarrow, and it can be reached in a little more than a day at most.

After leaving Mithril City, Lu Qi raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky. The clouds were connected one after another, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The weather is not a good one, and it looks like it's going to rain.
