Chapter 267 So what if I’m number one on the sword list?

night.

Royal Capital Prison.

"Bang bang bang", the sound of the iron door in the cell being opened was heard, followed by a person's voice.

"This is your dinner today."

The guard placed a simple meal on the ground casually, closed the iron door again, and left the cell.

Silas looked at the dinner in front of him, three pieces of black bread, a bowl of thick porridge, and an apple.

The quality of dinner seems to have gotten better lately.

In the past, it was usually one or two pieces of black bread and light porridge, and sometimes there was no dinner at all.

I don’t know why, but it doesn’t matter.

It's always good to eat more.

Silas stood up and walked towards dinner, dragging his body tired from the day.

The light in the cell was dim, with only a burning torch hanging on the wall at the other end flickering.

This torch can only burn for one hour at most, and will go out after one hour, and the entire cell will fall into deathly darkness.

Silas had been through days like this for a long time.

He bit into the hard black bread with an expressionless face, experiencing the feeling of swallowing food. The only sound in the cage was Silas's chewing food.

"Sa"

Suddenly, a soft sound came out clearly.

Silas, who thought it was a mouse at first, didn't notice it until he inadvertently glanced away and suddenly caught something.

I looked at it again unsurely and found something strange.

Then, he finished the food quickly, put the tableware outside the cage, then stood up and walked towards the wall in the corner.

The light here is even darker, but something can be vaguely seen.

Silas raised his hand, and with the sound of the chain shaking, he pushed the dust away from the wall.

Immediately afterwards, "swishing" sounds were heard one after another, and more and more wall plaster fell, revealing several perfectly fitting wall tiles.

But upon closer inspection, you can see that there is something obviously wrong with these wall tiles.

Thanks to the prince, Silas now even understands architecture and knows how to build a good house.

After such a long time, the small library outside has been half-built.

Therefore, Silas could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with these wall tiles.

It's like there are hidden compartments.

Silas fumbled for a while, and as time passed by, there was a sudden "click" and a slight shaking sound from a wall tile.

There must be some space here, at least it doesn't look like a perfect fit.

After realizing this, Silas looked around, picked up a weed in the cell, and carefully ground and flattened it.

Then he tried to squeeze the weeds into the gap, and he did it easily.

After stuffing the weeds all the way to the inside, as if filling all the gaps inside, Silas pulled out the weeds.

This was repeated several times, and finally the wall bricks gradually detached from the wall due to the friction of the weeds.

After a lot of effort, the brick was finally pulled out of the wall.

A hidden space inside was revealed. The space was not large and could only accommodate a few things, so it was not difficult to see a few yellowed papers in it.

Silas's eyes flickered, and he reached out to take out the papers. Then he looked up and saw many paragraphs of text and patterns.

The text is a bit old and does not look like modern times, and the drawings are a bit messy. It is not clear what the drawings are.

It should be written with something like carbon or wall plaster.

Silas, who had read a lot of books some time ago, could still recognize these words.

"This is."

Silas stood up, walked to a brighter place, and checked the contents on the paper.

"I have been locked up here for more than forty years. Feeling the loss of vitality in my body, I know that I am afraid I will never see the light of day again. Maybe I shouldn't have studied it in the first place, let alone wanted to make the truth public. "

"I paid the price and spent the rest of my life in this dark dungeon."

"Before I died, I didn't want to take this secret away with me. So I tried my best to keep it. I hope that future generations of compatriots can find inspiration from it and get rid of the shackles."

Silas' eyes moved from the lines of text, and he soon realized that this was something written by the mage who was previously imprisoned in this dungeon, and the time should be more than two hundred years ago.

And what he wanted to talk about was clearly the Forbidden Demon Stone.

That is, what is now worn on Silas's wrist, sealing all his talents for fifteen years.

Silas was very curious about this, so he took advantage of the limited time and quickly read through it.

Half an hour later, the torch suddenly went out, and the entire cell suddenly fell into darkness.

However, Silas's eyes were particularly shining at this moment.

He was shocked at what he had just learned.

He lowered his head. Although he couldn't see it, he could feel the weight of the forbidden magic stone on his wrist.

“Is this really the case?”

Silas murmured to himself, his heart still surging with waves.

The real function of the forbidden magic stone is not to seal magic, but to absorb and store it!

More than two hundred years ago, the seniors who were imprisoned here wanted to make this truth public.

However, before he could speak, Demacia noticed him and quickly imprisoned him.

This truth obviously cannot be made public, otherwise even Silas can predict what will be waiting for Demacia.

At this moment, Silas's heart became increasingly restless.

He now needs a chance to test this truth.

Otherwise, he alone would not be able to confirm the authenticity of this content.

Although he is also a mage, he has no magic power in his body, and his special ability is only to see magic power.

Until fifteen years ago, he came into contact with the young mage, and the violent magic exploded.

After returning the wall tiles to their original positions, Silas lay down and stared at the dark ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The next day.

Luqi Mansion.

Lu Qi, who got up early in the morning, was full of energy and practiced health-care techniques in the hospital, with a pleasant smile on his lips.

Catalina, who got up early to water the flowers, glanced at this guy's face and didn't know why.

Although it was obviously just a simple smile, she could see a bit of the arrogance of a villain in it.

It's really not surprising that Lu Qi was in such a good mood today that he didn't even want to sleep for a while.

At this moment, he felt extremely proud.

So what if I'm number one on the sword list?

In the end, I couldn't even get out of bed.

The reason was that after last night's clinical experiment, Lu Qi suddenly discovered that with every charge he made, the effect of the Conqueror could be triggered.

What is this concept?

This means that every time Lu Qi advances, he will become stronger!

Relying on the superimposed effect of the Conqueror, Lu Qi regained his male prominence and severely punished the extremely arrogant Sword Girl.

At this moment, I was naturally in a happy mood.

By the time the health-care technique was over, it was still early, and Lacus and the others hadn't come yet.

Lu Qi looked up and felt that the sky was good today, cloudless, and there was no wind at all.

With such good weather, it seems a bit wasted just lying around.

So he thought to himself, how about finding something to do? As for painting, he has no interest in it recently.

While walking around, I started thinking about it.

When he walked to the backyard and looked at the empty yard, Lu Qi suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.

Half an hour later.

Lux walked into the courtyard in a good mood while humming a song. She immediately saw Lu Qi sitting there and what he was tinkering with.

"What are you doing?"

A flash of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she stepped forward.

What was found was an oval-shaped net with a gripping pole attached to the bottom.

"racket."

Lu Qi replied casually.

"What is this?"

Lux picked up a strange-shaped object. The tail of this object was made of feathers, the front end was round, and the weight was acceptable.

Just looking at the appearance, it looks like a small bird.

Lu Qi replied: "Badminton."

At this point, Lux probably understood: "Is this another new game?"

"That's about it. You go ahead and don't disturb me."

Lu Qi was weaving a racket net, so he drove away the little golden retriever.

Lux didn't care about this, and sat aside obediently, raising her hand to rest her chin, watching Lu Qi's operation intently with her big eyes.

But after a while, she lost her patience, picked up a ready-made racket that Lu Qi had placed on the other side, and walked further away to play with it.

She tried waving it twice, and unexpectedly found that it felt pretty good.

At this moment, she has basically seen how badminton is played, and she is a little eager to try it.

Another ten minutes passed.

Lu Qi finally finished the second racket. He tested the tightness of the racket net and confirmed that there was no problem.

"Ok?"

Lux immediately cast an expectant look after seeing it.

"It's still a little bit close, don't worry."

Lu Qi walked to the backyard.

Lux also followed.

In the backyard, Catalina and Yourna were building a net in the open space to separate the two sides according to Lu Qi's request.

Almost seen.

Lu Qi explained the rules: "If the badminton ball touches the ground in your own court, you lose, do you understand?"

"I understand, come on!"

Lux eagerly chose a venue and made preparations.

She tied her golden hair into a ponytail. Lu Qi looked up and saw Lux, who was holding a racket in her ponytail. She suddenly had a bit more of a sports girl temperament, and her energetic aura hit her face, making her look youthful and beautiful.

After getting ready, Lux said confidently: "To be honest, I am actually a gaming genius."

"Really, to be honest, the person I like to torture the most is the gaming genius."

Lu Qi chuckled and walked to the other side, looking at Lux, whose face was full of confidence and holding a badminton racket in one hand.

Then, he threw the badminton up and hit it down hard.

The badminton flew out in an instant. The next second, Lux had already reacted, took two steps across, and hit the badminton back with one shot.

"Yohe."

Lu Qi was surprised and slapped him back again: "I didn't expect you to be able to catch it."

"Oh, who are you looking down on!"

A hint of pride suddenly appeared on Lux's bright face, and she hit the ball back again. She was about to say two harsh words: "I will return it."

With a "pop" sound, the badminton she had just hit was instantly shot to the ground on her side at an extremely fast speed.

Lux paused for a moment, and her whole body froze in place like a wooden man.

"Haha." Lu Qi smiled mockingly: "It seems like that's all."

"Hiss!" Seeing this face, Lux took a breath, and her unwillingness to admit defeat suddenly surged up.

She picked up the ball, threw it, and then slapped it back hard.

"I was distracted just now, come again!"

However, it should not be said that Miss Crown Defender is indeed somewhat talented in badminton.

Although he is still no match for Lu Qi, he can at least hold on for a long time occasionally.

Outside the court, Katarina and Yourna also watched the two fighting with interest, feeling that this activity was quite new.

After a while, Sona, Poppy, and Kashina also arrived.

Hearing the noise in the backyard, he came over.

Then he saw Lu Qi and Lux ​​playing badminton, curiosity flashing in their eyes.

Following another smash from Lucci, Lux sat weakly on the ground, sweating profusely and panting, then stood up in dissatisfaction: "Damn it, do it again!"

Lu Qi shook his head and looked at her with pity: "You are too weak and can no longer arouse my interest. Let's replace you. The weak are not qualified to stand in the ring."

Lux gritted her teeth feeling humiliated, left the court, and entrusted her racket to her good sister Kashina: "You must help me find the court."

Kashina nodded seriously and walked to the other side. She had figured out how to play and felt that it was very simple.

Just find a way to make the badminton land in the opponent's territory.

"Come on! Kashina!" Lux, who had lost more than ten games in a row, sat on a chair moved outside the court and became an audience to cheer for Kashina.

"I will not let you down!"

Kashina threw the badminton and hit Lu Qi with a hard slap.

The next second, there was a "pop" sound, and the badminton flew back and hit the ground.

Lu Qi, the maniac who tortures girls, had a sneer on his lips. He looked at Kashina's astonished face and was extremely satisfied.

"Kashina, fight back!"

Lux was very anxious outside the court.

Kashina came back to her senses and hurriedly picked up the ball, feeling that she needed to be more serious.

However, in the end, the girl was defeated.

"Weak, next."

Lu Qi clicked his tongue, very arrogantly.

"I come!"

Like a relay, Bobby raised his hand enthusiastically and took the racket from Kashina.

This racket is almost as tall as her head.

She waved twice and felt the feel, then looked at Lu Qi, blinked her big eyes, and asked tentatively: "Can I use a hammer?"

Lu Qi smiled: "What do you think?"

"Okay, come on then."

Bobby had to play with a racket.

She really loves the hammer, but after switching to a racket, she can't use it as much as she wants, and she also has a height disadvantage.

Although he is very powerful, sometimes even Lu Qi has to be careful when he fights back with all his strength.

However, his skills were a bit lacking and he was defeated in the end.

After being smashed by a ball, Bobby beat the ground unwillingly: "Damn it. If you use a hammer."

"Okay, next one."

Lu Qi glanced at her and could think of this guy hitting badminton with a hammer in his mind.

The next person to come up is Sona.

The three losers, Lux, Kashina, and Poppy, were sitting on the small bench, cheering for her angrily.
