The next day.

Lu Qi, who got up early, leisurely practiced health-preserving techniques in the yard. The morning wind was a bit cold, but he thought it was harmless.

He had no nightlife last night and was full of energy and in good condition.

Behind, Catalina, who was cleaning the yard, took a moment to glance over there and sighed quietly in her heart.

Alas, it is indeed a retirement life.

She had obviously seen this scene countless times, but she just wasn't used to it.

Perhaps, although this kind of slow-paced life is good, she never particularly likes it.

After finishing a set of health-care techniques, Lu Qi was about to start preparing breakfast.

He kept the time very accurately. Basically, when Lux, Kashina, Sona, Quinn, and Poppy arrived, breakfast would be ready.

After breakfast, Kashina went to report to the Cavaliers.

"Yurna, go prepare the carriage."

Lu Qi started to plan to go out.

Katarina, Frey, and Poppy stayed at home, while he and Quinn took Lux and Sona with them, preparing to go out.

Ten minutes later, after watching the carriage drive away, Catalina turned around and lay down on the rocking chair in boredom, basking in the sun.

On the carriage.

Lu Qi sat quietly, while Sona and Quinn sat opposite.

On the side, Lux lifted the curtain of the carriage from time to time and kept looking out. After a while, she couldn't help but ask: "So where are we going to go later?"

Lu Qi replied casually: "We'll know when we get there."

Lux nodded and became more and more curious. She found that the carriage was driving outside the royal capital.

Time passed by minute by second, and after a while, there was no one else around except the moving carriage.

Following a turn, the carriage walked onto a secluded path overgrown with grass. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't even notice it.

There are many trees, grass, and rock walls along the way. There are almost no changes in the front, back, left, and right, making it easy to get lost.

This made Lux even more curious about where to go next.

In other words, at this moment, she already had a vague guess in her heart.

The carriage could not go further inside because the road was no longer suitable for larger carriages.

Then the carriage stopped.

"We still have some way to go."

Quinn got out of the carriage first. Lu Qi, Lux and Sona also looked around after getting off the carriage.

Following Quinn, they advanced for about half an hour. When Lux felt a little dizzy while winding around in this maze-like mountain forest, a few people passed through a narrower path, with mountain gaps on the left and right sides. The location is only large enough for one person to pass through.

Walking forward like this, Quinn pushed aside the trees blocking his view in front, revealing an open area behind.

Lux looked around, and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu that cleared away the clouds.

There are actually several houses built here, just like a small camp. You can see all the living tools placed, as well as several unfinished buildings.

Although it looks like a simple structure, there is a feeling of vitality and prosperity everywhere.

In this camp, there were about thirty or forty unfamiliar faces, and they all looked over at this moment.

"Sir Quinn!"

One of the women, a woman with light yellow hair, immediately came over to meet Quinn. When she saw Lu Qi and the others behind Quinn, she couldn't help but pause slightly.

"This is what I mentioned to you, His Royal Highness Prince Lu Qi, this is Miss Crown Guard, and this is Sona, you should all know."

Quinn immediately made way for a seat and introduced everyone one by one.

At this time, the rest of the people in the camp also gathered around, looking at Lu Qi and others with a bit of curiosity in their slightly timid eyes.

The slightly yellow-haired woman looked at Lu Qi and immediately bowed seriously and respectfully: "Hello, Your Highness, my name is Julie. Thank you very much for your willingness to take us in."

"You're welcome. Let's take care of each other from now on."

Lu Qi smiled at her, his smile was dazzling.

Immediately, the mentality that made the others feel intimidated by his status as a prince improved a lot.

It is shocking enough that big figures like His Highness the Prince and Miss Crown Guard would appear here.

Even though Quinn had already mentioned about Lu Qi, everyone still felt a subconscious fear after seeing it with their own eyes.

After all, this gap in identity is almost visible to the naked eye.

In other words, there is a sense of distance.

"here it is"

At this time, Lux, who had been looking around, had noticed a lot of things, and blurted out: "Mage camp?"

She noticed the staff, but what made her even more sure was that the magical atmosphere lingering in the space here was much stronger than anywhere along the way.

What's more, there are traces of magic being used here, not long ago.

And from the eyes of those on the opposite side, she saw familiar looks, which were exactly the same as the looks shown by Luca and Giselle.

"Yes, Miss Crownguard."

Julie answered Lux ​​and explained: "This is indeed a mage camp. Including me, there are a total of thirteen mages, and the rest are our family members. In order to avoid the pursuit of the demon seekers, we live a life of Living without a fixed place, Mr. Quinn found us a month and a half ago and provided us with this place."

Lux listened with a dazed expression, and finally looked at Lu Qi: "It turns out you have started doing this a long time ago."

Suddenly there was an unknown emotion in her heart that kept beating.

It turned out that before she found Lu Qi yesterday, he had already started making preparations.

Sona looked around with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

Quinn said at this time: "Your Highness actually started making preparations last year, and finally found this place. The terrain is hidden and it is not easily discovered."

Lux couldn't help but said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Lu Qi smiled and said: "Is there any difference between saying it early and saying it late?"

Lux thought for a while: "It seems not."

She seemed to feel the same when she knew it in advance and now.

"Don't worry about this. In fact, I didn't do anything." Lu Qi walked forward and looked at the surrounding environment: "Actually, Quinn is the hardest worker. She arranged everything from beginning to end."

After returning to the royal capital last year, he began to ask Quinn to find a hidden place and take in some kind-hearted mages who had no fixed place to live.

After many layers of investigation, Quinn finally found what was in front of him.

Their identities are all innocent, but the only problem is that they accidentally awakened to magic and became demon-infected.

Fleeing left and right along the way, Quinn wanted to go not only to the royal capital, but also to several towns near the royal capital.

One can imagine how hard she has worked for so long.

It can be seen from the gratitude and respect in the eyes of the people here looking at Quinn.

Even though Lu Qi and the others were here, the people around him were actually more willing to trust Quinn.

Lux looked at Julie at this time: "So, have you all stayed here for more than a month?"

"Well, because we have to prepare food and daily necessities for so many people, we regularly send people who are not infected with demons to the royal capital to purchase them. Thanks to the financial assistance from His Highness and Mr. Quinn."

Julie replied.

"Dye the devil."

Lux muttered to herself and said: "Dyeing demons is something defined by demon seekers. For us, this is just the awakening of our talents."

Julie captured the key point: "We?"

"Yes." Lux looked at her and nodded slightly: "To be honest, I am also a mage."

She raised her hand, a shimmer of light flashed across her fingertips, and magic lingered.

Seeing this scene, Quinn, Yourna and Sona who were waiting were not surprised.

Even though Lux has never mentioned it actively, it is not difficult to find out from daily life and understanding.

Not to mention, Sona knew Lux was a mage from the beginning.

However, the group of people on the opposite side were very surprised.

No one thought that Miss Crown Guard was also a mage.

"this"

Julie has not calmed down until now, and can't speak for a while.

A beautiful smile appeared on Lux's face: "It seems that I have found the organization. I hope you don't mind my joining."

Julie waved her hands hurriedly: "Of course not. Miss Crown Guard didn't expect this. You are welcome to join."

The rest of the people actually felt a little flattered by this. If it was just an ordinary join, it would be fine.

When they learned that Lux was also a mage and joined, they suddenly felt much more at ease.

The look he looked at her became a little more friendly.

"There's one more person joining us today."

Lu Qi continued at this time.

Then Sona came out and nodded slightly to everyone.

When it comes to popularity, Sona is certainly as good as Lux.

Demacia's famous music master, even though many people have never seen her before, they can recognize her at a glance from her striking features.

After learning that Sona was also going to join, the place was filled with excitement.

In fact, before that, even if he was taken in by Quinn, he found such a secluded place, started to build a home, and learned that the prince was behind him to support him, so he could live day after day without having to worry about food and shelter.

But in everyone's heart, they always feel a little scared.

I'm afraid that one day the Demon Searcher will suddenly break in, and I'm afraid that my newly stabilized life will be disrupted again.

After all, even His Highness the Prince is an important figure whom they cannot meet, and the other party may abandon them directly with just one word.

To this day, the addition of Lux and Sona makes them feel as if they have found a backbone.

At this moment, Lux and Sona, the two girls were naturally in a happy mood.

No matter how high your status is, living in such an environment as a mage will make you feel uneasy and frightened.

Watching new mages being imprisoned every day always gives them a sense of deja vu that the person imprisoned tomorrow may be them.

Now I see many mages appearing in front of me.

Just like Lux said.

There is quite a feeling of finding an organization.

In this way, Lux and Sona integrated into the camp much faster, and it didn't take long for them to be treated as one of their own.

Lux's conversation with them was also very pleasant, and her heartfelt smile bloomed in the sunshine.

To be honest, except for Sona, she had never had such a chat with the mage before.

Once upon a time, she also hoped that there would be a group where everyone was a mage to accept her.

How can I describe how she feels now? Until now, her heartbeat has always been accelerated.

Julie is the manager of the mage camp. Because she has excellent magic skills, she is actually almost thirty years old, and she is very calm in dealing with things. She was also the first to be taken over by Quinn.

She led Lu Qi and others to visit the mage camp.

"It's still a little crude now, but I believe that as we have more and more compatriots, we will be able to make this place even better."

Julie was thinking about the future and drawing a blueprint.

She considers this place to be her home, so seeing the camp prospering makes her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.

The campground is not big, so it only took ten minutes to walk around.

Along the way, some other mages were introduced.

There were two people who impressed Lu Qi. One was called Emmaline, who had special magical talents and could make exquisite magic engravings.

Magic engraving is a kind of spell-casting pattern carved by magic power. It usually has many functions, and the most commonly used one is to use the magical power stored in the engraving to gain temporary blessing.

After understanding it, Lu Qi suddenly felt that the two lines on his wrist seemed to be two devil marks.

The only difference is that ordinary engravings will disappear after use.

This one will not disappear, even if the power of the demon within it is used up, it will restore itself.

And he happened to want to know more about these two demon engravings. Maybe he could learn more about them through Emmaline.

However, Emmaline has just awakened to magic, and now is the stage of adaptation, so there is no rush.

Let's talk about another mage named Crane, who is the son of a craftsman and also has special magical talents.

His magical ability is to enchant weapons.

Ordinary weapons, no matter in terms of damage or sharpness, are like that.

However, after being enchanted with magic, it will become stronger, sharper, and able to explode with more powerful power.

In fact, through observation, Lu Qi noticed that Galen's big sword seemed to be an enchanted weapon.

This shows how powerful the enchanted weapon is.

But the same problem now is that Crane is only fourteen years old and is not very proficient in mastering magic.

In fact, most of the other mages are not particularly familiar with their own magic.

After all, there was nothing we could do. Before this, most of them lived an ordinary daily life.

He suddenly awakened to magic and chose to run away in a hurry. There was no time to understand it, let alone study it systematically.

Even though Lux has such a powerful talent, her mastery of magic was very unfamiliar before this.

In general, after looking around, Lu Qi feels that this is probably a team with a promising future.
