Chapter 268 Powerful in every sense
Carrying the hopes of her friends, Sona nodded seriously and looked at Lu Qi opposite.
"bring it on!"
"Oh, no matter how many weaklings come, the ending will be the same."
Lu Qi snorted contemptuously.
But soon, he took back his words.
Sona, unexpectedly powerful!
In this duel, Lu Qi actually lost for the first time!
Mainly, Lu Qi couldn't concentrate at all while playing badminton with Sona.
He hit the ball, and Sona tried her best to chase it. As the girl's range of motion increased, the two balls on her chest were swaying.
This made Lu Qi completely confused about which ball to watch.
If you are not careful, you will lose.
A few games later, with Sona's smash, Lu Qi finally lost.
He knelt down and gritted his teeth, pounding the ground unwillingly: "Damn it, how could this happen? I actually fell down here."
Sona herself didn't expect that she would win, and her unexpected face was full of excitement at this moment.
Lux, Kashina, and Poppy also quickly ran over, surrounded her to congratulate her, and then turned around without mercy and began to mock Lu Qi.
Catalina, who only had some clues, glanced at Lu Qi with disdain, her eyes full of disgust.
Lu Qi stood up.
I really can't blame him for this.
It can only be said that the opponent is too powerful in various aspects.
After playing four games in a row, he was finally a little tired and sweating a lot, but he felt surprisingly relaxed.
It feels pretty good to move my body after a long time.
Badminton is suitable for beginners to get started, and the gameplay is relatively simple.
There are also more interesting ones, such as tennis, which is more difficult than badminton in all aspects.
However, tennis is more demanding, especially the court. Even if Lu Qi wants to play now, it will take some time to prepare.
The activity of tennis was included in the preparation plan. Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Qi prepared to make breakfast.
So he gave the ball to Katarina, who immediately invited Yuerna to a duel.
Yourna readily agreed, and the two parties quickly stood on the field.
Lux, Kashina, Sona and Poppy were sitting on the periphery, preparing to watch their duel.
The first person to serve was Catalina. Her eyes were sharp, and with a "pop" sound, the badminton flew out instantly with her seriousness.
However, the next moment, he was directly photographed back by Yuerna.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Soon, the crisp sound of hitting the badminton suddenly rang.
The figures of the two people flickered back and forth, not wanting to be outdone. The badminton ball was almost out of sight in mid-air, drawing arcs.
The four spectators on the sidelines were dazzled and surprised.
It turns out this is real badminton.
Not only is it highly enjoyable to watch, but the intensity is also maxed out!
After a while, the two still couldn't decide the winner, and the noise woke up Fiona who was snoozing upstairs.
She changed her clothes, listened to the noise and came to the backyard, and was also curious about badminton.
While waiting for breakfast, he also sat in the auditorium and watched together.
The two people on the court are getting further and further away from the net, and the arc drawn by the badminton in mid-air is getting longer and longer, but the speed is the same, or even a little faster.
Like a silent tacit understanding, both Katarina and Yourna stretched their battle lines and used various movements and techniques.
This duel can be said to be extremely exciting.
The final winner was Catalina, who won with a thrilling goal.
After the victory, she found that there were a few drops of sweat on her forehead, and she actually felt the same intensity as training.
It wasn't badminton that brought her such pressure.
But it was Yourna on the opposite side.
After spending so long with her, Catalina felt that she was definitely the most secretive person in the yard, always giving her a mysterious feeling everywhere.
"do not fight."
After the game at this time, Yourna did not intend to continue playing, it seemed that she was just trying to be fresh.
In contrast, her beautiful face remained expressionless, without even a drop of sweat.
It is enough to prove that her physical strength is even higher than Catalina.
Catalina, who was still in high spirits, looked at Fiona, who had just arrived, and invited her, "Would you like to come and play?"
Although Fiona was very interested at this moment, she still shook her head: "I won't."
If it were her normal self, she would have been standing on the field by now.
But today, I'm afraid it won't work.
Until now, her legs are still a little weak, and she is really helpless.
Today is not a good day for exercise, so I need to take a good rest.
Catalina probably guessed the reason, so she looked at the loser group on the other side.
"I come!"
At this time, Lux stood up suddenly, with an expression of "I think I can do it again", and planned to challenge Katarina.
The ending was, of course, ruthless torture.
We spent a lot of energy in the morning, so everyone enjoyed this breakfast.
After breakfast, Lux suddenly remembered something and said to Lu Qi: "By the way, aunt said you are free, go find her."
Lu Qi asked strangely: "Then what does the old woman want to do with me?"
Lux shook her head: "I don't know, but I know something you absolutely don't know."
Lu Qi asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Lux smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes full of schadenfreude: "You are going to be miserable soon."
"What do you mean?" Lu Qi was wondering when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and his whole body froze.
He turned around little by little and saw a figure slowly walking towards the entrance of the courtyard, his whole body seemed to exude a vague coldness.
It was Tiana.
She was smiling emotionlessly at the moment, looking at Lu Qi: "I seemed to have heard something just now?"
"What is that? Aunt, did you hear it wrong?"
Lu Qi sneered.
"I guess I'm not so old that my ears aren't sensitive yet."
Tiana approached, and under Lux's expectant gaze, she raised her hand to make a gesture about to lower it.
Lu Qi subconsciously planned to get out of the way. He now felt that with his physical skills, he might not be able to be manipulated by this old woman.
However, Tiana didn't lose her mind. Instead, she patted Lu Qi on the shoulder and said, "Go out for a walk with me."
Lux suddenly looked disappointed.
Lu Qi glanced at this guy angrily, nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
Tiana didn't let Lu Qi accompany her very far, she just walked on the street outside the yard.
The air in spring is not hot and the feeling of winter has not dissipated, but there is still a little coolness.
Tiana got straight to the point: "I am going to the northern border this afternoon."
Lu Qi heard this and asked doubtfully: "Northern border? What happened there?"
"Something happened. The barbarians in the Freljord got crazy. They gathered together and attacked several cities on the border. They have already robbed a lot of things. The generals sent there a while ago cannot deal with them. , I still have to go there in person."
As Tiana walked on the road, she briefly described the situation in the northern border with a somewhat serious expression.
After Lu Qi heard this, he became thoughtful.
To the north of Demacia is the Freljord, a place like Freljord. How should I put it, there are civilized people, such as Frey.
But there are also many barbarians, and burning, killing, and looting is their usual style.
Just like in a place, there are always good people and bad people, this is inevitable.
In the Freljord, the wind is biting all year round, and there is even snowfall in the summer. The climate conditions in many areas are extremely harsh, which results in the local planting results in the Freljord being unsatisfactory.
Especially in winter, when the climate is at its worst, the weather is so cold that people can freeze into ice cubes. In this environment, no crops can survive.
If people don't eat, they will be hungry, and if they are hungry, they will die.
The tribes didn't want to starve to death and couldn't survive internally, so they had no choice but to reach out.
Every winter, the tribes of the Freljord would attack nearby countries, such as Demacia and Noxus.
The three parties can be said to be at war all year round.
Until now, Noxus seems to be still on the Northern Expedition, and the targets of the Northern Expedition are naturally the tribes of the Freljord.
However, in terms of confrontation, compared to the scale of Noxus' frequent wars, the Freljord tribe has not yet reached that level.
When encountering some slightly better tribes, they would only rob but not kill.
If it's a bit worse, things will be taken away and people will be killed. This kind of person will do all kinds of evil and be very cold-blooded.
Their raiding time is basically winter, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily only winter.
All year round, in fact, at every stage, there are unimaginable tribes that come to try Demacia.
This time, Tiana can go there in person. Obviously, the situation in the northern border is a little more serious this time.
After coming back from his thoughts, Lu Qi showed a smile: "If aunt goes over, she will definitely be able to suppress those barbaric tribes and let them see the majesty of Demacia's number one female handsome."
"Stop praising me here." Tiana glanced at this kid and said, "I showed it to them a few years ago, but these savage guys always focus on eating rather than fighting. Since I went there this time, it must be I want them to suffer a little more."
Lu Qi nodded in agreement.
Tiana definitely has the confidence to say these words. The fact that a woman can firmly hold the position of Grand Marshal of Demacia is not just because of the energy of the Crownguard family.
It's because she is the best in Demacia in terms of commanding troops in battle and strength.
Tiana herself is definitely one of Demacia's most powerful forces.
"Originally, that boy from the Fourth Generation was rushing to go, but he has already proven his talents at the southern border. There is no need to go out again. It is not a good thing to fight continuously. It is not like there are no capable people in Demacia."
Tiana walked on the road and continued in a tone of voice as if she was chatting at home: "Also, the tribes in the Freljord may seem barbaric, but they are actually more cunning than the Noxian war group. I don't want to Give them a chance to act arrogant and suppress them quickly. Just as soon as I leave."
When Lu Qi heard this, he immediately promised: "Don't worry, aunt, I'm here with the king."
Tiana glanced at him: "It's because of your presence that I don't feel at ease."
Lu Qi: "."
Aunt, it’s boring to talk like this.
"You kid, if you say you're calm, you're quite calm. But if you're restless, you always feel like you could get into trouble at any time."
Tiana rambled on, feeling many emotions every time she looked at Lu Qi, and said helplessly: "How bad has that girl Lux been led by you now?"
This Lu Qi couldn't bear it anymore and said seriously: "Auntie, you can't say that. Could it be that I was the one who caused the bad thing? That's because of her nature!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden shock on his forehead.
Tiana turned away from him angrily: "Anyway, her mother and I can't control that girl now that you have brought her to this point. You kid has to bear the responsibility for her starting point."
Lu Qi complained: "Actually, I can't control it at all."
"What I mean is, take good care of her. After all, I am also her aunt. When I go out this time, I will definitely go back as soon as possible. If I see her being bullied when I come back, I won't spare you, kid."
Tiana looked at Lu Qi with rare majesty.
"Yes, yes." Lu Qi could only nod his head repeatedly, and then asked, "What else does Auntie have to say?"
"No, you can go back. Please be peaceful these days. I will leave as soon as possible."
Tiana waved her hands in disgust, quickly returned and repeated the words.
"Auntie, don't worry. I am known as the little prince of peace."
Lu Qi nodded again.
Tiana smiled after hearing this and waved her hand: "Okay, okay."
"Then I'm leaving, aunt. I won't see you off in the afternoon."
Lu Qi said goodbye symbolically, turning around and preparing to leave regardless of whether Tiana replied or not.
Tiana naturally didn't mind this guy's impoliteness. She turned around and looked at his back, her eyes flickered, and she sighed softly after a while.
She always felt a little uneasy leaving the royal capital at this time.
However, the safety of the people on the other side was also very important, and she had to go there eventually.
If she is in the capital, if there is any trouble, she can calm it down.
Now I am about to leave the royal capital, something happened
Tiana felt that she had thought too much. The capital was the capital of Demacia, so how could something happen easily?
But for some reason, before leaving, she suddenly wanted to chat with this guy Lu Qi.
Although this kid's usual personality has nothing to do with calmness, deep down in his heart, he feels that this kid can be relied on.
Lu Qi's back walked around the corner and disappeared.
Tiana continued to walk forward, preparing to set off immediately, but she continued to think in her heart.
Now, I'm afraid that boy has already known about that girl's magic skills.
The little golden-haired girl's demonic possession is a source of worry for the whole family.
So even though her husband was killed by a mage, when she thought of the little girl's tenderness, innocence, and bright smile, she knew that magic could never define the good or bad of a person.
Even after hearing that the third generation intended to pardon the mage, he silently expressed his support.
However, Demacia's rules over the years cannot be easily broken.
Maybe that kid can do something about it.
For some reason, at a certain moment, this thought flashed through Tiana's mind.
