Chapter 260 Are you waiting to be taken over?

Left the Research Institute.

Sitting on the carriage going home, Lu Qi opened the curtain and looked at the street scenery, his eyes flickering, and he was thinking in his heart.

Today's scientific research institute is booming, and there is basically nothing he is worried about.

As for the next plan, it has already been planned, just go down step by step.

However, this rune land is too vast, and technological advancement alone is not enough.

The power that truly dominates this land has always been strong magic.

His gaze moved from the window to the little black dog lying at the window of the carriage, looking out.

There are many beings more powerful than demons like Nocturne.

Therefore, what he said to Master and Disciple Vayne that day was indeed from his heart.

Studying the power of demons is not only to better fight against demons.

In fact, it is also to master new powers to deal with other existences.

The other key is magic.

Use magic correctly, like Piltover, and that's a train heading toward rapid progress.

How can the dignified Demacia not be able to do things that others can do?

But now is not the right time.

In the evening, the sky is dusk, and one crimson cloud after another in the sky shines soft colors on the ground.

After opening the courtyard door and returning to the familiar courtyard, Lu Qi couldn't help but stretch.

After entering the main room and sitting on the sofa, there was no need to light the fireplace anymore. The temperature in the royal capital had warmed up to normal, and it basically didn't feel cold anymore.

These days, when the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot, are Lu Qi's favorite time.

Catalina naturally went to pour tea at this time.

Now, she has become more accustomed to her current life.

Although I have never forgotten why I came to Demacia from Noxus.

But now, so much time has passed and there is no movement there. It is useless no matter how anxious she is.

After pouring a cup of hot tea for Lu Qi, Catalina, who had nothing to do after that, sat by the window and looked at the sunset in the sky.

Noxus also has the same sunset scenery, but when I look at it now, my mood is completely different.

At that time, it was just a quick glance, and I no longer had the intention to pay attention to the scenery.

But now I am sitting here, looking at each other, even if I look quietly, no one will disturb me.

time flies.

Under the quiet sunset, there is always a kind of drowsy magic.

Lu Qi's drowsiness was interrupted by the sound of footsteps outside. He yawned and looked towards the entrance of the living room, where he saw Quinn walking towards him.

"Your Highness."

"sit."

Lu Qi smiled at her. They hadn't seen her for almost a month, but Quinn was still the same, giving off a calm and capable feeling.

There are only two people in the living room at the moment. Lux and the others haven't arrived yet, and Katarina and Yourna should have gone to the backyard to spar.

After Quinn sat down, Lu Qi poured her a glass of water and asked, "Have you discovered anything new recently?"

"Yes." Quinn took the water glass, nodded and said: "Eldred, the leader of the Demon Seeker Corps, seems to have been secretly conducting some kind of experiment. I suspect that the material from the experiment was imprisoned in Those prisoners in the dungeon.”

Lu Qi's eyes flashed slightly as he listened, and he thought quietly without making a sound.

In fact, the magic searchers will research some magical things, such as some magical beasts, some minerals, some dark magic, and some materials are taken from the prisoners in the dungeon.

After all, just as Lu Qi thought, only by knowing more about magic can we be better able to fight magic.

Therefore, this matter has always been tacitly approved by the kings of all generations.

It's just that few people pay attention to the content and methods of experiments, and all the power has always been left to the magic searchers.

There are more things that Quinn might not be able to find out even if he wanted to investigate.

After Lu Qi thought about it, he said: "Tell me about other things."

Quinn nodded and said: "Besides that, there is another important thing. I have observed that there seem to be a lot of mages coming to the royal capital recently."

This caught Lu Qi's attention.

He pondered for a second and said, "You mean, many mages came to the royal capital on their own initiative?"

Quinn replied: "I don't know how many there are specifically. But compared to the past, there are definitely more. But at the moment, I don't know their purpose, because I don't want to alert others, so I don't have too much contact."

"Really, you did the right thing, don't worry about this matter for now."

Lu Qi calmed down and became thoughtful. After a while, he asked aloud: "Is it okay to do what I told you?"

Quinn nodded immediately: "Thirteen people have been recruited so far."

"Okay." Lu Qi nodded slightly: "Take me to see him tomorrow. Also, do you have any new discoveries about the mysterious man I asked you to pay attention to last time?"

Quinn shook his head: "No."

Lu Qi nodded again and took a sip of tea.

It seems that Katarina's old father is a very patient person. It has been so long and there is no news at all.

Or is it that he is actually not in the royal capital?

Hard to judge.

But even if you are not here, you must treat it as if you are here.

After chatting with Quinn for a while, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and this time it sounded like it belonged to multiple people.

After a while, Sona and Kashina walked in with Poppy, followed by Lux.

"Your Highness! Long time no see!"

After Kasina saw Lu Qi, her eyes showed joy and she trotted over.

Lu Qi smiled: "Long time no see, have you tried it yet?"

"Passed!" Kashina said with excitement in her eyes: "And I passed the palace examination with first place. From now on, I will be a serious knight!"

"Really? It seems you are one step closer to realizing your dream."

Lu Qi was sincerely happy for Kashina, and then said: "But your next days will be harder than before."

"I'm not afraid!" Kashina raised her fist and said seriously: "Next, I will become a more powerful knight!"

"Okay!" Lu Qi stood up, clapped his hands and said, "In that case, in order to celebrate Kashina passing the palace examination, let's have a good meal tonight!"

It's getting dark outside, and it's almost time to prepare dinner.

Lu Qi wanted to cook in person again after a long absence.

"Yeah ヾ(▽)ノ!"

Kashina became even happier, her face flushed with excitement.

As soon as he heard that the meal was ready, even Lux, who was a little quiet, his eyes lit up, as if he was looking forward to it.

So Lu Qi walked to the kitchen, ready to start cooking today's dinner.

Time passed by, and soon a burst of fragrance came from the kitchen.

In the kitchen.

Lu Qi is frying meatballs at the moment. Among Lu Qi's recipes, the girls' favorite dish is the meatballs.

Fragrant but not greasy, you can eat it one bite at a time and never get tired of it.

There was a slight movement behind him, and even without turning around, Lu Qi knew who was coming: "Let's make a deal, there is no food for you to steal in the kitchen today."

"I'm not here to steal food!"

Lux pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and snorted: "I'm here to talk to you."

Lu Qi glanced at her sideways: "Then you chose the time to talk about this matter really well."

Lux blushed, then she became serious and got to the point: "I'm here to tell you about Forsbarrow."

Lu Qi put the meatballs into the pan and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It was that time. After I went back, including on the way back, I thought about it for a long time."

Lux's eyes flickered and she lowered her head slightly: "I think there is something we can do? Or at least do something?"

During this trip to Forsbarrow, she saw many things that even the king could not see.

Among them, the ones she cares about most are Giselle and Luca.

It's not about the two of them, but Luca's identity as a mage.

Because of Luca's identity as a mage, Giselle was restless, distraught, and frightened all day long.

How many examples are there of taking a small family and radiating into the larger environment?

Every time she saw something like this, Lacus felt as if her heart was being pulled, and she would also feel uneasy.

Not only was she worried for those who were mages like her, but she was also worried for herself.

She relied on her identity as a Crown Guard family, so she could hide herself from others most of the time.

However, no matter how high your identity is, there will eventually be a day when it is revealed, and there will eventually be a day when you can no longer disguise it.

At that time, what should we do?

Therefore, she wants to do something now, not only for all the mages in this environment, but also for herself.

With eyes flickering, Lux expressed her thoughts: "I think we can summon those hiding mages."

Lu Qi laughed: "What? Are you Miss Crown Guard trying to launch a rebellion?"

Lux glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just thought that maybe something could be done."

"You mean to build a mage's sanctuary so that kind-hearted mages like Luca don't have to live a life of fear and hiding now, right?"

Lu Qi briefly summarized what the girl in front of him meant.

Lux nodded with bright eyes: "Yes, that's it."

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Are you going to wait to be served in a pot?"

As soon as the words fell, the smile on Lux's face disappeared.

Thinking about it carefully, although many things went smoothly when she thought about it, it was still imagination after all.

After thinking about it in more detail, it seems that there are indeed many difficulties.

For example, if you want to build a mage's sanctuary, where would it be located?

If you don't choose the address well, you are more likely to be taken advantage of by the demon searchers.

Then wouldn’t she become a sinner instead?

Looking at her face with her head lowered and frowning in thought, Lu Qi picked up a meatball that was almost hot and stuffed it into her mouth: "Stop thinking so much."

Lux opened her mouth subconsciously and took the meatball into her mouth. The fragrant taste immediately made her forget her worries for a short time.

Immediately, she heard Lu Qi say: "I know what you mean. You want to create an environment where mages are united and face difficulties together. But you also have to think about what you will face after doing this, and do it well. Be prepared for all situations. Instead of just having a momentary idea and then doing it with enthusiasm."

Hearing these words, Lux nodded obediently, then lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

She really hadn't thought about many things, so before making a decision, she wanted to ask Lu Qi first.

She really hoped that Demacia, a country she truly loved, could be more tolerant and change its attitude toward mages.

So in order to achieve this goal faster, she knew what she had to do.

Now, Lux is no longer as confused as she was before she met Lu Qi, not knowing how to take the road ahead.

Now, she has figured out her own path.

Seeing her like this, Lu Qi picked up another meatball and stuffed it into it: "Don't think about it, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lux raised her head and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

She was still chewing the hot meatballs in her mouth, and she couldn't understand what she was asking.

"You'll know when you go tomorrow."

Lu Qi pretended to be mysterious and did not reveal the answer in advance, and then issued an eviction order: "The kitchen is a powerful place, please get out now."

Before the meal officially started, Lux, who had already eaten two meatballs for free, was already satisfied.

I left the kitchen with curiosity about where I would go tomorrow.

Meatballs are the last dish. After all, meatballs that are fresh out of the pan, steaming, hot and fragrant are the most delicious.

By the time the dishes were served on the table, with a strong aroma coming out, the girls had already sat down together.

The fragrant smell made even the little black dog lying in the yard look at each other from a distance.

To celebrate Kashina today, everyone is in a good mood.

So Lu Qi showed great kindness and rewarded the little black dog outside the courtyard with two meatballs.

The little black dog just took a bite of a meatball. As soon as he chewed it, he suddenly froze on the spot, showing an expression that he had never seen in the world.

Is this really human food?

It’s so delicious!

It’s not like Nocturne has never been to a big human city before, let alone human delicacies. Driven by curiosity, he tasted some of them.

However, after eating those foods, Nocturne was disappointed.

The delicacies that can be praised by everyone, in his opinion, are very mediocre and ordinary. Where does the delicious food come from?

Far less than the fear in those nightmares, one tenth!

But now, he has changed his mind.

At first, when he smelled those fragrances, Nocturne felt something was wrong.

After taking a bite, he was immediately shocked.

It is no exaggeration to say that this may be the most delicious human food he has ever tasted.

This taste, this mouth-filling aroma of meat, this crispy shell, this splash of meat juice, even if it is compared to his favorite nightmare, it is nothing less!

After eating two pills, the little black dog could never forget the taste again.

He thought it was possible because he and this body were now one and shared the same sense of taste.

Otherwise, how could it be so fragrant?

But, I really want to eat more.

It's a pity that Lu Qi and others who were celebrating stopped paying attention to the little black dog and ignored him.

The poor little black dog could only cling to the window and look at each other from a distance, not daring to enter the house.

Because he will be beaten hard by Lu Qi with his slippers.
