LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

At the foot of Mount Targon.

As a portal emerged, the figures of Lucci and Morgana walked out of it.

The atmosphere between the two was somewhat silent. Morgana looked at Lu Qi's back and hesitated to speak, but she didn't know where to start.

"Huh? Why is the atmosphere so dull?"

At this time, Zoe's voice sounded from behind the two of them, and she looked at them in confusion.

According to the script she envisioned, the two of them should embrace each other with tears of joy. This scene was touching and tearful.

But she followed quietly and saw that neither of them spoke.

Lu Qi turned around, looked at Zoe and said, "I would like to thank you for your help just now."

Zoe immediately blinked and said, “Then how do you want to thank me?”

Lu Qi smiled and asked, "Then what kind of thank you gift do you want?"

Zoe didn't expect that the question would be thrown back, so she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately raised her eyebrows as if thinking: "Yes, I want it."

She was in a dilemma as if she had difficulty choosing. She couldn't think of a reason for a long time.

"I can't think of it right now!"

She finally gave up and sighed, because she wanted too many things, and it was not easy to find one of them.

Lu Qi said: "Then let's wait until we figure it out."

"Okay!" Zoe immediately beamed with joy, and her hair fluttered happily with her mood. At this time, she seemed to sense something. She raised her head and glanced at the sky, and then said "Oh" again: "It's not easy to come back. It’s rare to encounter something so interesting. But I’m leaving again.”

She was originally very interested in Lucci, but now there is a lonely big dog in space who needs her company, and she must go there.

After all, I swore to protect it.

As for playing with the interesting Lucci, she decided to wait until the next time she returns to Runeterra. By the way, she also had to think carefully about the thank you gift.

"So that's it, bye, see you next time."

Zoe waved to the two of them, then suddenly stepped forward and sniffed Lu Qi like a puppy: "I have memorized the smell of you, and I can go directly to you to play next time! "

Lu Qi smiled slightly and said, "Goodbye."

Seeing Zoe open the portal and disappear in one step, he felt inexplicably relieved.

It would be okay if this thing was just a simple naughty little girl, but she was the famous Twilight Star.

It can be said that it is a T0-level existence among the protoss. The Darkin War back then was only brought to an end by the Twilight Protoss.

This is not the most important thing.

As far as Lu Qi knew, the Twilight Star Spirit was a star spirit with a strong omen ability. Whenever she appeared in one place for too long, it often meant that something big was going to happen.

There is no distinction between good and bad, but often there are more bad things.

Just like Bobby's hammer, whoever takes it will be unlucky.

Zoe also has this attribute to some extent, but her ability is very powerful, and she can basically solve all the problems she encounters.

At this moment, as soon as Zoe left, there were two more people left nearby.

Morgana finally spoke: "Is it really worth it for you to do this for me?"

Lu Qi looked at her and asked, "Am I important in your heart?"

Morgana was slightly startled, not expecting that he would suddenly ask this. However, at this moment, the answer flashed through her mind.

Looking at Lu Qi's gaze, Morgana nodded.

Of course it was important. It was precisely because of his appearance that she lived up to her hundreds of years of waiting.

In the past two years of getting along, his presence has already been engraved in her heart.

"That's alright. I will also value people who value me. What's more, didn't we make an appointment? Even if you want to leave me, you must make it clear to me."

Lu Qi smiled gently, and then said: "As long as you don't say anything, I will think that you were forced to leave, and of course I will chase you back."

Morgana has seen so much good and evil over the years, and has witnessed so many lives go from the beginning to the end.

But Lu Qi's words still touched her heart.

After a moment of silence, Morgana looked at him and said, "I won't leave without saying goodbye next time, no. There won't be a next time."

She has left Mount Targon, her power has been stripped away, and she has become a mortal.

She no longer has to think about her mother and sister. From now on, she just needs to stay by Lu Qi's side.

The two of them walked outside in sync. Lu Qi thought of something and asked: "Speaking of which, you are also the winged patron saint of Demacia. Isn't it a bit too humiliating to be my maid like this?"

"I'm a mortal now. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being a maid like you. It's relaxing, you can eat and drink freely, and you can get paid." Morgana's tone was indifferent, but she was also extremely relaxed. , there is also a smile between his eyebrows.

It seemed that after revealing her identity, the expression on her face suddenly became more expressive.

At least it looks pretty when you smile.

"In that case, tell me from the beginning. Why did you come to me?"

Lu Qi was also quite curious about this matter. Although he already had a guess in his mind, he was by his side, so he could just ask.

"That happened many years ago."

It's not that Morgana doesn't like to talk, she just rarely speaks out in order to reduce her sense of presence.

Now, she no longer needs to worry so much.

Two days later.

Lucci and Morgana left the area where Mount Targon belonged as quickly as possible, and then re-entered the continent of Shurima.

Now that he was here this time, Lu Qi decided to take a look at the situation here.

He found traces of the void when he was in Ionia, but in his impression, the void should only appear in Shurima by chance.

Back then, when the Void was summoned by Icathia, the first stop in Runeterra was Shurima.

Because of this, it has a connection with Runeterra. Over the years, it has been looking for ways to enter Runeterra again.

The void is a big hazard. Although there are still those protoss in Shurima, after visiting Mount Targon, Lu Qi doesn't really want to count on them anymore.

At this time, the scorching sun was shining, at noon.

A city slowly appeared in their field of vision. It seemed to be a larger city in the nearby area.

The surface of the city is dyed with the color of yellow sand. If you get closer, you can see that the relatively tall city walls here have cracks, and most places are built with earthen bricks dried by the scorching sun.

The arch-shaped city gate was guarded by soldiers, but there was no inspection of people entering the city. It seemed that anyone could enter the city.

It's just that there aren't many people entering the city. After some observation, it's basically just entering but not exiting.

I can't tell how lively it is.

After the two entered the city smoothly, the streets inside were not very lively. There were vendors selling water and various items, spices, food and desert fruits on both sides of the street.

In Shurima, water can be sold for money. The cleaner, clearer and sweeter the water, the higher the price.

But this water is often hard to find.

The water that people often drink either comes from a nearby water source or is filtered from various places, the most common of which is wet sand.

In the desert, there is actually a lot of water, but it is more troublesome to filter the water from a pile of sand.

For example, a vendor not far away was using a copper device with a wheel to pour water mixed with sediment into a green glass bottle.

The sediment is poured on the first layer, and as the wheel rotates, drops of liquid are filtered out.

This is human wisdom.

It's just that Lu Qi is not very interested in this kind of water, and has no idea of ​​tasting it.

He knew he was coming to Shurima before going out, so he specially prepared enough water to drink and stored it in the space of demonic power.

The place is big enough to store a lot of things.

Ignoring the shouts of the vendors, Lu Qi walked deeper into the street.

His plan was to collect relevant information in the city. After all, he couldn't just look for it aimlessly.

If the void appears accidentally, locals will definitely notice it.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in front of a notice board, where many people gathered and were talking about the notice on the wall.

"The reward has increased again."

"It's quite high. Who can pick it up?"

"Who dares? Everyone who took the order a few times has never returned."

"It's true, this money can be spent at any time."

"Haha, the prices of those mercenaries are also ridiculously high now, and even the caravans can't afford them."

"After all, you are buying your life."

"What should we do? The water in this city will run out sooner or later. We can't go all out to get it, right?"

"well."

People were talking a lot, many of them had sad faces, some were sighing, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

Lu Qi walked and observed along the way, and also discovered something wrong in the city.

That is, there are many people in the city, but no one goes out of the city, and the prices of many things are also abnormally high.

He had never seen such high prices during his journey from the other side.

Generally, this situation is very likely to indicate that something has happened.

He walked closer, looked for a random person, and said hello: "Brother, what is happening in the city?"

The man turned his head and looked at him sadly, with a tired look in his eyes and no interest in answering.

Lu Qi directly took out a small bottle of water and handed it over.

The man immediately changed his expression, took the water bottle enthusiastically, and replied: "This brother must have just entered the city. It's normal that you don't know. It's not easy for you to enter the city. It's not peaceful outside Tarot City recently. , there were ferocious beasts causing trouble, and several batches of people died."

As he spoke, he couldn't help opening the bottle cap, raised his head and took a sip, but the amount was not large. After drinking, he even had to lick the water at the mouth of the bottle again.

The people around him cast envious glances and looked at Lu Qi warmly.

After quenching his thirst, the man said again: "Everything was normal, but just a week ago, a caravan suddenly disappeared together with its hired mercenaries. After investigation, I thought that I encountered some bandits, but When the same thing happened again, it turned out that it was not the case.”

"According to the words of the person who escaped, he saw a group of desert hill dogs. Those animals were not easy to deal with, and now they were moving in a strange group. Their steps were surprisingly the same, as if they had been trained, and they were like There is something commanding them, and ordinary teams are no match at all."

"These beasts ambush people on the roads that people often walk. Basically, many people who do not believe in evil have suffered. Two mercenaries have overturned, resulting in the remaining two powerful mercenaries having their bride price doubled. No one can care about growth, and people don’t dare to leave the city, so it’s like this.”

Lu Qi's water was not given to him for free. The man spoke very carefully and explained the whole story clearly.

There is a group of powerful Desert Hill Dogs outside the city. They seem to be ambushing people on the roads that people often take, making them difficult to deal with.

This resulted in not many people coming, and the people inside were afraid to go out, so they could only sit and eat.

Speaking of which, Lu Qi and Morgana were lucky enough to not encounter the group of desert hill dogs they were talking about on the way here.

At this time, after Lu Qi thought for a moment, he walked forward and took a look at the reward that the city lord had just issued on the notice.

Five hundred gold was already a huge sum of money in a place where supplies were scarce.

An ordinary mercenary team is like an escort in a escort agency. Asking them to escort you will only cost you a few dozen gold coins at most.

But now the price in the city has risen to several hundred gold.

However, they may not be able to guarantee safety. I am afraid that the obstruction is more likely to be due to luck.

The man drinking water sighed at the good luck of Lu Qi and the two, and then walked away.

There are not many defenders in the city, so it is naturally impossible for the city lord to send them all out to deal with the group of desert dogs. Don't let the sand bandits take the opportunity to enter and loot the city.

This situation is worse than those beasts.

Now people are more praying that those Qiu dogs can't stay any longer and choose to leave.

But Lu Qi now knew that this matter might not be that simple.

The notices hanging on the wall now are all related things, and there is no news about the void at all.

At this moment, a cloaked figure ran over and took off the notice on the wall. A girl's voice came from it: "I accepted this reward!"

People looked at him with surprised eyes, as if they wanted to see who had such courage.

Lu Qi looked similarly and saw the girl taking off her cloak, revealing a plain face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, short rock-colored hair, and a pair of particularly bright eyes.

Seeing this girl, a piece of information suddenly flashed in his mind.

Rockbird - Taliyah.

"Stop being ridiculous, this is not a reward that a little girl like you can accept."

"Even the most powerful mercenaries can't deal with those sand dogs."

"You're so old, you might as well do some collecting work or something like that."

"What's the difference between this and losing your life?"

When people around saw that it was a girl who was obviously young, they couldn't help but kindly tried to dissuade her.

"Thank you all for your advice." Taliyah said with firm eyes and a serious tone, "But I am bound to win this bounty, and I will definitely eradicate these sand dogs."

Seeing her like this, everyone wanted to persuade her again.

At this time, another voice came: "I also want to accept this reward, why don't we do it together."

Everyone looked at him and found that he was wearing a headscarf and a mask, but it was easy to tell from his facial features that he was a young and handsome guy, followed by a woman also wearing a headscarf and a mask.

Taliyah also cast a glance and couldn't help but said: "This bounty is very dangerous."

Everyone looked at her and thought, you know the danger too.

The speaker was naturally Lu Qi. Hearing this, he said: "I know, but we are not weak. If we don't solve this problem, we won't be able to leave the city. It just so happens that we can form a team."

"Oh well."

Taliyah hesitated, then nodded in agreement.

But he sighed helplessly in his heart, it seemed that the reward would be reduced by half.

She accepted the reward not only to solve this problem, but also because she didn't have a single copper on her body, and she would die of hunger and thirst in the city sooner or later.

She also just came to Tarot City today. After hearing about this incident, she didn't expect anyone to dare to accept the reward together.

Of course, she won't dislike it, after all, more people mean more power.

It's just that she can't see what's so powerful about Lu Qi and the two of them. They look like two ordinary people.

She was worried that if something dangerous happened, she might not be able to protect them.
