Chapter 287 It’s okay to lie to your friends, but don’t lie to yourself too

Chapter 287 It’s okay to lie to your friends, but don’t lie to yourself too

It was still a bit cool in the March night, and sitting on the roof you could clearly feel the cold wind coming towards you.

Lu Qi picked up the wine bottle and poured it down. Only a drop or two of crystal wine dripped down.

Unknowingly, he finished the bottle of wine. He stretched out his waist and said with a contented "Hmm": "It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."

After saying that, he jumped, but fell from the roof as light as paper, and finally landed safely on the ground.

Catalina watched Lu Qi perform this strange movement, her mind still thinking about the information she had just received.

She did need a moment to process the information.

Lu Qi walked back to his room. Although he did feel a little sleepy at the moment, he did not fall asleep directly.

Instead, he sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and felt the condition of his body with his consciousness.

Now, he can clearly feel the two demonic forces in his body. During this period of time, they have not interfered with each other and have not had any negative impact on his body.

Lucci would not use them easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

But now, there is a third strange force in his body.

I don't know how to describe the specific feeling, but Lu Qi can clearly detect its existence as long as he feels it with his heart.

Another feeling is that this power seems to have fallen into some kind of "sleep", and now Lu Qi will naturally not wake "it" casually.

After a while, he opened his eyes helplessly, looked at the snow-white long blade placed on the table, and sighed: "You really suck everything into my body."

Yes, the third extra force in Lu Qi's body is now a world rune!

To be more specific, probably fragments.

Because it is now integrated with Lu Qi's body, Lu Qi can feel its incompleteness.

Compared to the two demonic powers in his body, this rune fragment was what made Lu Qi more afraid and worried.

Although the power of world runes is obvious to all, normally, you should be excited to obtain such a powerful thing.

But now Lu Qi is not happy at all because it is a world rune.

This thing is not something that can be used casually.

Once it is not used properly, something will happen.

You must know that the World Rune is the terrifying power that once started the Rune War. Although it is only a fragment, it is not simple.

Even the runic power developed by Eldred may be only one-sided.

What shocked Lu Qi even more was that Xuejian had absorbed the energy of the rune fragments directly from Eldred's body, just like he had absorbed two demonic powers.

And it was transported directly into Lu Qi's body in one go, without giving him any chance to react.

After defeating Eldred, the "body" of the world rune disappeared directly.

It obviously ran into Lu Qi's body.

Lu Qi has a little understanding of the world's runes.

Runes are the source of all magic in the world. It can be said that without runes, there would be no magic.

In this world, the World Rune occupies a pivotal position. It is indestructible, possesses powerful energy, and can only be sealed in some way.

Countless people once wanted to get it, because once they got it, it meant they had gained supreme rights and status, so the Rune War started.

Human greed has almost destroyed this continent.

The World Rune is just such a thing. Its existence itself is not harmful to Rune Land. Only in the hands of humans can the terrifying destructive power of the World Rune be exerted.

Because what it is best at is amplifying human emotions, such as anger, hatred, rage, and greed, it can almost make a weak-willed person lose their mind instantly.

The price is that humans will eventually become the puppets of the world's runes.

It is just a piece of scrap metal. It poses no threat when stuck in the ground. But when it is in someone's hand, it becomes a sharp weapon that can be used to slash at others.

Human beings controlled by world runes will basically die in the end.

This is what Lu Qi is worried about. Such a rune fragment has successfully entered his body, even though it seems to be very stable at the moment.

But you can't tell which day it will suddenly explode.

In other words, this thing is a time bomb.

Although the power is good, there is no need for Lu Qi to take such risks.

But now, he couldn't think of a way to remove this rune fragment from his body.

Now I can only let it stay in my body.

Lu Qi believes that if you want to find someone who can solve this problem, there is only one option.

In his mind, a figure with a purple sweet head and a big bald head flashed across his mind.

After a while, he shook his head again.

In this huge Rune Land, finding such a player accurately is no less difficult than finding the player himself.

"You, you."

Lu Qi took another look at Xuejian, the ancient sword he found in Demacia's underground treasure house.

For a while, he couldn't think of any words of accusation. With the characteristics of this sword, what could he do?

After all, it was my choice in the first place, so I have to endure it.

I'm used to using it by now, so it's no wonder that I suddenly change my weapon.

Moreover, apart from the fact that this weapon always likes to suck things, it is really easy to use in all aspects.

Maybe before studying the rune fragments in his body, Lu Qi should find a way to study this weird weapon.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was a faint "keep-keep-keep" sound coming from the covered microphone.

It was the sound that I ignored when I entered the house just now.

He moved over, opened the lid, and said inside: "Why are you knocking on this thing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Not long after the words passed through, the opponent immediately heard the slightly complaining voice of Miss Crown Guard: "Why are you just coming back now? I've been waiting for a while."

Lu Qi said smoothly: "Why are you waiting for me? Do you miss me so much?"

"Bah!" Lux spat, "I'm just idle and bored!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi chuckled and said, "You know how boring it is. If you had spent this time studying, you would be a literary girl now."

"Am I not one now? Don't beat around the bush and say I'm uneducated."

Lacus' voice with a hint of sullenness came through the microphone, and she emphasized: "I am reading every day now!"

Lu Qi said directly: "Excuse me, what is the name of the last book you read? Answer in three seconds."

"."

There was silence in the microphone, and more than three seconds passed before Lux's voice came: "Dreams and Far Songs."

"Miss Crown Guard." Lu Qi sighed softly and said, "You can lie to your friends, but don't lie to yourself."

"." There was another period of silence on the other side of the microphone, and then came the stiff voice of Miss Crown Guard, changing the topic: "The stars are quite beautiful tonight."

"yes."

Lu Qi did not expose this guy, and looked up out the window. As the night went deeper, the number of stars in the sky gradually increased, and they became one, like the Milky Way.

At the other end, the Crownguard family, in Lux's boudoir.

The blond girl also raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky. The Milky Way was reflected in her bright eyes, which was extremely beautiful.

The corners of her thin lips curled up slightly with a sweet smile. For some reason, she was in an inexplicably good mood at this moment.

She said: "I feel like I'm in a dream today."

In this short day, too many things happened.

From the sudden rise of mages to their rapid suppression, from the appearance of Galio to the dethronement of Demon Seekers, all mages were pardoned.

It always gives the current Lux an unrealistic feeling.

Just like that, in just one day, the dark clouds that had been weighing on her heart for more than ten years were suddenly dispelled.

She no longer has to worry and be afraid about her identity as a mage, and she no longer has to worry about seeing magic seekers coming to arrest her when she wakes up.

From then on, she could openly show her identity as a mage, and at the same time, so could thousands of mages like her.

This is a liberation in the true sense.

Because of this, she is still too excited to sleep.

"There is a time to wake up from dreams, but reality does not. Tomorrow will be a new day, sleep well, Miss Crown Guard."

Lu Qi's somewhat sleepy voice came from the microphone.

This guy had a confused tone, obviously wanting to send her off to bed hastily.

Lux puffed up her face in dissatisfaction: "Why are you sleeping so early? Do you have to sleep every day to feel refreshed? You are not allowed to sleep!"

Lu Qi's voice came: "Okay, okay, then what should I do if I don't sleep now?"

Lux immediately said: "Come and chat with me. It seems that we haven't chatted through the microphone for a long time."

"." Lu Qi was quiet for two seconds before a voice came: "Why can we talk in person but through this microphone?"

"Because it feels different."

Lux said into the phone. She didn't know why, but she just liked chatting through the phone like this.

She could not see each other in person, but her voice could communicate, and she always found it magical.

"Okay, what to talk about."

Lu Qi compromised.

Lux tilted her head and thought for a while, then said with bright eyes: "Let's start from the first time we met."

Lu Qi said quietly: "Are you planning to stay up all night?"

Lux ignored these words and said happily: "I still remember the way you were when I first met you. You were wearing a cloth shirt, and just by standing there, you gave people a simple feeling."

"Just say soil when you are talking about soil." Lu Qi curled his lips, smiled nonchalantly, and joked casually: "I was still thinking at the time, which silly girl from the landlord's family was trying to be fooled."

The mention of dark history made Lux blush, and she was speechless: "I didn't think those people were that bad at the time."

At that time, she always felt that in the royal capital with simple folk customs, liars would not be so blatant, so she stubbornly believed that it was her bad luck.

However, she was quite blatant and almost defrauded her of all her small coffers.

Speaking of which, it seemed that she had never seen those people again since then.

At this time, Lu Qi said: "But if it hadn't been for those people, I might not have met you there, and nothing would have happened next."

"yes."

Lux nodded. Thinking about it now, it was very strange to meet Lu Qi.

Who would have known that a random person he met on the street was another prince of Demacia.

And now, although those past events are not far away, they seem to have happened a long time ago.

This may be the beauty of memories. When you recall every detail, you will be filled with emotion.

The two of them chatted about trivial matters from the past through the microphone, and they didn't feel bored. They just looked at the night sky and chatted.

Time passes minute by minute.

Lux was completely immersed in the topic, and the more she talked, the more energetic she became.

Or say that fate is really wonderful.

If we hadn’t met Lu Qi, there wouldn’t be what we are today, and we don’t know which direction the wheel of history would move in.

Lux inexplicably thought that her life seemed to have changed since she met Lu Qi, and that day seemed to be a turning point.

At the fork in the road of history, with the appearance of Lu Qi, a brand new road suddenly appeared.

Lux always had this inexplicable feeling in her heart.

By now, she has become accustomed to having Lu Qi around her. Because of him, she encountered many interesting things and had many happy moments. She even untied her knot and forgot her troubles.

While chatting forgetfully, Lux looked at the beautiful night sky, a shooting star flashed across her face, with a sweet smile on her lips.

Thinking about it, she felt that Lu Qi was like a star given to her by God, bringing good luck to her life.

"Hey, you're so good. Why are you saying such disgusting words? I'm getting goosebumps."

At this time, Lu Qi's voice seemed to be twisting and speaking from the microphone, which was very awkward.

Lux was stunned for a moment, and the next second her face swished and turned red instantly.

She opened her eyes blankly, and her whole body heated up rapidly, as if she realized that she had blurted out what she had just been thinking about.

After realizing this, Lux exploded with a "boom".

She wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Her mind was in chaos, and her heart was pounding like a deer bumping into each other. She covered her hot cheeks, and Lux ​​felt like she was about to emit smoke.

That kind of unspeakable words actually came out of her mouth?

So disgusting, are you going to die?

The most important thing is that that guy heard it!

Just when Lux didn't know what to do, Lu Qi's faint voice came from the microphone again: "I feel like you are a gift given to me by God."

"Ahh!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by a marmot scream from Miss Crown Guard.

She suddenly stood up from the bed, with murderous intent in her eyes, and the idea of ​​killing Lu Qi's family directly came into her mind.

Now!

This is the only option!

She has to do it!

You're not afraid of accidentally saying what's on your mind, but you're afraid of being heard by the person you least want to hear it from, and even more afraid of being repeated by this guy!

It was like pressing Miss Crown Guard's shame to the ground and rubbing it!

"What is it called? Why are you so crazy if you don't sleep at night?"

At this moment, Ogesha's angry scolding came from outside the room.

Lux immediately shrank her neck and sat down again, moving extremely carefully. She looked at the microphone. At this moment, she wanted to die.

"I just feel it."

"If you dare to say anything further, I will go over and kill you right now and then commit suicide!"

Lu Qi's voice came from the phone again, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lux's vicious threat.

"."

There was silence on the phone, and it was obvious that Lu Qi still had some desire for survival.

"No more chatting, go to sleep!"

Lux snorted coldly and covered the microphone cover angrily. Without even saying good night, she threw herself on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and covered herself in it, as if she was going to heat herself to death.

Under the quilt, she touched her cheek which was still hot, her eyes twinkling and she bit her lip.

"Damn guy, he doesn't know the atmosphere at all."

Although he didn't want to admit that what he just said was from his own mouth, it was indeed what Lux was thinking.

She believed that meeting Lu Qi was her luck, and it was the best day of her life.

the other side.

Lu Qi looked at the silent microphone, smiled, and closed the lid as well.

He turned his eyes to look at the star-studded night sky, with a smile on his lips, and said to himself: "This is what I want to say to you."

It's my luck to meet you.
