LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

After giving up Nocturne's thoughts of escaping.

Lu Qi returned to the living room. Now a small fire was burning in the fireplace and the temperature had dropped a lot.

After throwing two bundles of firewood in, Lu Qi was too lazy to go back to the room and lay down directly on the sofa, intending to continue his dream.

I slept very peacefully this time.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning came in from outside the window, it shone on Lu Qi's face and woke him up from his sleep.

Although I slept on the sofa last night, the quality of my sleep was surprisingly good.

After falling asleep, I felt lazy all over, but after a while, I instantly regained my energy.

Yourna didn't know when she got up, but she was already there making hot water and tea.

"Good morning."

He yawned slightly and said morning and evening.

Lu Qi suddenly smelled a burnt smell. He followed the smell and saw Nocturne lying in the corner with his limbs spread out, like a dead dog, with a spoiled expression on his face.

His eyes turned white, and the already black hair on his body looked even darker. Some of it was hard and straight, and there was a burning smell, as if it had been roasted by fire.

"What tricks is he doing again?"

Lu Qi was a little surprised when he saw this.

When Yourna, who was pouring tea, heard this, her face was as calm as ever, and her voice was cold and she said: "Your Highness may have misunderstood him this time."

Lu Qi was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Yourna said: "His Royal Highness went to bed last night and spent the whole night talking on the phone."

After the words fell, Lu Qi was slightly stunned. Then he looked at Nocturne again and probably understood the reason.

Then he sighed with emotion: "I rarely talk in my sleep, but I didn't expect that it happened to you."

Nocturne: "."

Take a look and see if you are speaking human language.

I almost electrocuted him one night, and now he has this attitude?

Don't you even have a trace of guilt?

For a moment, he couldn't tell who was the dog.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the second floor, and then Miss Crown Guard yawned and walked down. She had slept happily, her hair was messy, one dull hair was sticking up, and her little face was leisurely and comfortable.

"Good morning."

A lazy voice said hello, and Lux ​​sat on the sofa.

Yourna happened to place a cup of hot water on the table in front of her.

After thanking her, Lux held the water glass and drank in small sips.

Lu Qi looked at her and said: "Today we will officially go to worship our ancestors, and we are going to go back."

"Um."

Lux nodded her head, her eyes in trance already beginning to miss the days when she returned to the royal capital.

After a while, Sona, Poppy, Katarina, and Frey also woke up.

Everyone packed up and got ready to set off.

On the way, they met up with Galen's team and everyone headed towards Fosian's grave.

I have walked this road countless times in the past few days, and it has become a bit more familiar when I walk on it.

Lux looked at this mountain road that she had found so tortured when she was a child, and she suddenly felt many inexplicable feelings in her heart.

When she came here as a child, it had just rained. All she could remember along the way was how difficult the road was, how tiring it was, and how cold the air was. When she arrived, she was counting on leaving early.

Now that she was on this road again, she suddenly noticed many details that she had never noticed before.

There are signs of spring revival in the mountains and forests. The grass is blooming and the wild flowers on the ground are connected to form a patchwork of flowers.

Walking halfway up the mountain, when you look up, you will see the blue sky and cloudless sky. Birds are flying in the sky, and everything seems to be full of peace.

It turned out that this was the scenery that she had never noticed at that time.

The most important thing was that Lux looked to her side and looked at Lucci who was climbing the mountain with her, yawning.

It seems that mountain climbing is not particularly boring anymore.

She thought for a while and suddenly asked: "You have climbed this mountain several times. Is there anything you want to say?"

Going mountain climbing early in the morning is actually not in line with the style of an elderly person like Lu Qi.

He sighed slightly: "I don't have anything to say. I just feel that after climbing this mountain in the morning, I can show off an extra bowl of rice when I go back."

Lux was speechless for a moment, touched her belly, and then nodded: "Indeed."

I didn't even eat breakfast when I went out this time. When I climbed halfway up the mountain, I felt a little hungry.

However, everyone still insisted on climbing to the top of the mountain and came to the cliff where Fosian lived.

The cliffs are still overgrown with grass, and solitary tombs stand on the raised hills. The cold wind from the mountains blows by, accompanying the tombs.

Galen and Lux ​​stepped forward and began to worship their ancestors quite solemnly.

I don’t know why, but during the process of worshiping his ancestors, Galen always felt a chill on his body, as if he was being stared at by something.

Lux clasped her hands together, seemingly worshiping her ancestors and praying very devoutly, but in fact she was reporting crazily in her heart.

Galen framed her for bedwetting. Later in the pretend game, he was taller and played the hero, and she could only be the villain. Then Galen always secretly reported to his mother.

As if counting down the sins Galen had committed, Lux kept thinking in her mind.

If her great-grandfather was still alive, he would definitely help her vent her anger.

Thus, with Lux's devout prayers, the ancestor worship came to an end.

Galen stood up from the ground, his expression was not very good, and he didn't know why he always had a bad feeling.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

Diadoru felt something was wrong with his expression and asked more questions.

"nothing."

Galen shook his head. He always felt something was strange, but he couldn't place it.

Then, everyone started to return, and just when they were about to leave the cliff, the stone path under Galen's feet suddenly cracked with a "click".

He fell forward and hit the tree in front of him, making a crisp "dong" sound.

This time, everyone froze on the spot.

When Lux saw it, her eyes lit up and she wanted to clap her hands. She thought of something, turned around and glanced at her great-grandfather's tomb secretly, clasped her hands together again and bowed slightly.

Galen, who had hit his head against a tree, stood up straight with a dark face, extremely puzzled and completely confused about the situation.

He couldn't even react to such a thing?

Behind him, several team members held back their laughter and came forward in a pretentious manner.

"Hey, Captain, what's going on?"

"It's all good, but why did it hit a tree?"

"It's rare for a captain to make such a mistake."

"Captain, your head wasn't broken, was it? That sound just now was really loud."

Lu Qi also liked to join in the fun and said with a sudden realization: "I understand, Brother Lun wants to give everyone a test, whether the human head is harder or the tree is harder!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a chorus of "I see", "That's it", and "As expected of the captain" echoing around him.

After this wave, Galen's face became darker and darker, and his mood was extremely torn.

The atmosphere of the morning ended happily among Galen, the tree and the head iron.

Back in the town of Forsbarrow, in order to celebrate the fact that Lu Qi and Galen helped the town eliminate the devil, Judge Giselle specially prepared a banquet after they left.

Food and drinks were already prepared, and everyone who had just returned to the town immediately threw themselves into the banquet.

The banquet was very enjoyable, and Lux ​​was in a very good mood and showed off four bowls of rice.

One of them was because of climbing a mountain, and another was because Galen hit a tree.

The little black dog was ignored by the people, sitting outside the banquet in isolation, looking hungrily at the people drinking and talking.

Before coming to this body, Nocturne did not need to eat. Human food was far less delicious to him than the fear in nightmares.

But it's different now. At this moment, he is basically the same as a mortal body, and he also feels hungry.

I'm feeling a little hungry now.

Hungry until the end, he ate very quickly even if it was a bowl of leftover rice that Lu Qi rewarded.

After eating, Mo Teng couldn't help but suspect Mo Sheng. He sat there with a forlorn expression and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

He, the majestic Lord of Nightmares, has now been reduced to living on leftovers.

Such a tragic situation made him suddenly feel that his future demon life would be dark.

It's a party, and it will eventually end.

The morning passed by in a flash, and soon it was time to say goodbye.

At the gate of the town, all the residents of the town came out to see them off. After saying goodbye, Lu Qi and others set off on their way back.

Not long after leaving Forsbarrow Town, Galen found Lucci to say goodbye.

This time they came to Forsbarrow Town because they suddenly received a letter asking for help. Now that the matter was resolved, they naturally had to move on to the next mission.

So, after agreeing to meet again in the royal capital, Galen took his team and left directly from the other direction.

In a blink of an eye, February 22nd came.

On the way back to the capital, Lu Qi also witnessed spring getting closer and closer.

The buds on the trees sprouted, patches of green leaves appeared, and the wind blew a bit of spring. Before I knew it, it seemed that I couldn't feel the cold anymore.

Time is like this, always changing inadvertently.

On the way back, the same was naturally the case. We passed through Mithril City and stayed for a day, then went to Velos, Lithos, Pinara, and Edessa.

We arrived at the gate of the Royal Capital City this afternoon.

It had been nearly a month since they left home this time. After returning to the capital, Lu Qi and the others also felt that the fatigue on their bodies gradually relaxed.

After entering the city, there was no change in the capital. It was still the big city in my mind.

Lux, who was eager to return home, immediately went home. Sona also missed her sister and family, so everyone separated temporarily.

Lu Qi also went to the palace first, and after briefly reporting the matter to Jarvan III and Tiana, he left the palace.

She got on the carriage prepared by Urna and headed all the way to the R\u0026D base of the Research Institute.

In fact, during this period of time, he was more concerned about the progress of steam engines and trains.

After arriving at the Research Institute, Wenhua De was leading a group of scientific researchers to test the train in the spacious outside.

Today, there is a wider track outside, while the train running on it is constantly making a sound of "哐哐 哐".

"Your Highness."

Seeing Lu Qi coming, Wenhuade nodded in greeting.

Lu Qi looked forward and asked, "Has the stability of the steam engine been resolved?"

"Yes." Wenhuade nodded lightly and said: "Now the steam engine can provide stable power, and after improvement, it no longer consumes as much material as before, and it is relatively affordable. However, this problem has been solved After the problems were solved, we also found that new problems followed one after another.”

Immediately, Wenhuade began to speak slowly, while Lu Qi listened.

The problem that the research institute encountered at the beginning was the stability and energy consumption of the steam engine. Due to excessive coal consumption, the steam engine was not so stable and wasted too much resources.

Today, this has been resolved.

However, problems seem to be emerging one after another, and the scientific research institute has encountered new problems.

The problem moved to the train.

To put it simply, there are two problems at present.

One: it is a problem between the train rollers and the track. If a train wants to move forward stably, the phase of the wheels and the track must be coordinated, otherwise it will easily cause derailment.

Second: it was a matter of speed. After many tests, Wenward discovered that the kinetic energy provided by the steam engine was somewhat overflowing. In other words, the speed of the train is different from the kinetic energy brought by the steam engine.

In other words, the running was a bit slow.

The scientific research institute is trying to break through these two problems, and currently has probably thought of a solution.

Lu Qi believed in their ability, and he also said what needed to be said.

The slow speed is due to air resistance. As long as the front of the car is transformed into a shape that is more suitable for air resistance, Lu Qi basically uses a streamlined front.

The air flow will also affect the speed. Just add barriers between the compartments to prevent air from entering.

Now the scientific research institute is thinking about how to solve these problems.

After all, what they have to consider is not just what Lu Qi says. What they are building is a real steel behemoth.

If the speed is too fast, it is easy to derail. Therefore, Luqi Wheels recommends using tapered wheels with a small outside and a large inside, coupled with adapted rails. Basically, as long as there is no impact, there will be no derailment.

Generally speaking, the problems encountered so far are not problems.

Quite a bit of a flourishing meaning.

Another important thing is the use of steam engines.

Steam engines can not only be used as a power source for trains.

Its functions are quite extensive. The steam engine that has been tested and stabilized is now ready for use.

For example, the Research Institute recently renovated a forging machine.

It uses a steam engine to provide power, which can almost replace the power of three people, which can be said to be very energy-saving.

There are many powerful blacksmiths in Demacia who create high-quality equipment. With a forging machine, these excellent blacksmiths will not be strangers.

On the contrary, it will open up a very convenient route for them.

There are other uses, such as printing presses.

Currently, printing machines used are basically hand-operated printing machines.

After the steam engine came into use, the printing press no longer needed to invest manpower, and only needed to set a stable operation program.

And there are countless applications like this.

This is the change that machinery will bring to an era.

Lu Qi believes that this is just the beginning.
