LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

But the moment he saw Lu Qi, his eyes regained their vitality, and he opened his mouth that looked dry due to lack of moisture, as if he wanted to say something.

"It's all your fault!!"

In the next second, the mage man suddenly became irritable for no reason. His eyes were full of anger, and he roared and wanted to rush towards Lu Qi.

His body hit the iron cage, making a loud noise.

"What's wrong with me! What's wrong with me!!"

He roared like crazy, and his crazy look scared many people around him.

Lux, who was hiding behind Lu Qi, trembled slightly and subconsciously grabbed Lu Qi's sleeves.

Fiona frowned slightly, but sighed inwardly.

"Calm down!"

"Shut up!"

Behind the car, the two forbidden demons reacted and tugged hard on the chains in their hands while yelling angrily. The mage man's whole body was pulled and knocked aside.

At the same time, with a "pop" sound, the whip in the hand of a forbidden demon fell.

A few more times in succession.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Ah!" The mage man screamed miserably, lying weakly in the iron cage. The cloth on his body was constantly overflowing with bright red blood.

Soon, he didn't even have the strength to scream.

Lux closed her eyes unbearably.

At this time, the two knights who had finished saluting Lu Qi had already mounted their horses and continued to escort the prisoner.

"What's wrong with me"

And in the iron cage, the mage man with dull eyes murmured in a very low voice and kept repeating this sentence.

"Let's go."

Looking away from the mage man, Lu Qi was about to leave.

He took the lead to leave, and Lacus hurriedly followed, still holding his sleeve.

The three of them left the street.

But they also became a lot quieter. Obviously, what they just saw had some impact on them.

A strong sense of powerlessness emerged in Lux's heart, and the man's desperate eyes were like a chain pulling her into the abyss.

She could only watch, but could do nothing.

You may even feel scared, fearing that one day you will wake up from your dream and your hands and feet will be shackled.

Fiona was silent because she couldn't put herself in his shoes.

Similar things happen continuously in Demacia, and today it seems that it is no longer as simple as right and wrong.

And in this great era, she is just a caged bird.

As for Lu Qi, he wanted more.

Because he is a prophet, he has predictions about future events.

This seemed to be the first time he saw Demacia and the mage head-on.

I have been living a leisurely life recently, and I have almost forgotten what kind of environment the era in which I live is like.

Was that mage man wrong?

Perhaps in the first half of his life, he was a normal ordinary person, marrying a wife and having children, but because of unknowingly losing control of his magic power, he burned down his house.

In that fire, his life was also burned together.

Of course, if he was discovered by the Forbidden Demon, there might be no future for him.

Where did his fault come from?

The mistake is that he is a mage and this is Demacia.

Since ancient times, Demacia and mages have been at odds with each other.

Demacia was originally established as a sanctuary to protect people from magical energy.

But the magic disaster at that time was not limited to mages. It was only in the following years that humans gradually became the most obvious carrier of magical energy, resulting in the sharp antagonistic relationship today.

Times are changing. After so long, the original sanctuary has turned into a powerful empire.

The word "forbidden demons" has become deeply ingrained.

And Lu Qi also had to face a problem at this time.

Today's life is what he has always wanted, having no worries about food and drink, and being able to do whatever he wants.

But if he wants this kind of life to continue, then he must become a butterfly and flap his wings hard.

This is certain and certain.

He looked back at Lux and saw that she looked worried, and that little hand was still holding her own.

Lu Qi couldn't help but smile: "Are you so courageous? You have never seen such a scene."

After hearing this, Lux raised her head and found that her hands were still unconsciously tugging on Lu Qi's clothes, and she hurriedly took them off.

Then he raised his head and snorted: "Who is cowardly? I am so cowardly, okay!"

Yes, you will even dare to go to places like dungeons in the future.

Muttering in his heart, Lu Qi asked: "Are there any creatures that you are afraid of?"

When Lux, who had just finished bragging, heard this question, she naturally said firmly: "Afraid? I never know how to write the word fear!"

So Lu Qi's eyes moved down two points, landed on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Then I can rest assured, there is a spider crawling on your neck now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Miss Crown Guard's pupils shrank before she even lowered her head, and her face that was rosy a second ago turned white instantly.

When people are scared, they usually have two reactions.

One is to scream loudly.

The other is that he can't even make a sound.

Obviously, Lux is the second type.

"Help."

Lux's lips were trembling, and she looked at Lu Qi with pitiful eyes.

Not only did she dare not lower her head, but now she didn't even dare to move for fear that the spider would jump into her face.

"I was teasing you, I thought you wouldn't be afraid."

Lu Qi finished speaking in a very innocent tone.

Lux froze on the spot.

Only then did she dare to look over her shoulder and found that there was nothing at all. Then she looked up again and saw a smile that deserved to be beaten on a face that deserved to be beaten.

She gritted her teeth, and a huge anger suddenly arose in her heart!

"I'll fight you!!!"

Miss Crown Guard shouted, she didn't care about her image at all, and she was ready to commit murder in the street.

He chased Lu Qi all over the street.

Fiona looked on with a smile. In her opinion, Lu Qi really deserved a beating. After all, there was no way he could make such a joke with a girl.

It was obvious that Lux was really angry this time.

In order to calm her down, Lu Qi not only received a few punches, but also promised her to take care of the ice cream for a week, and she was also the first to taste the candied haws.

Only then did Miss Crown Guard finally calm down.

Walking on the street at this time, Lux said arrogantly: "I'm not afraid of spiders."

Lu Qi then asked: "Have you ever heard a story?"

Lux was a little curious: "What story?"

"This is something I occasionally heard from the patrolling guards when I was still in the palace."

Lu Qi thought for a while and lowered his tone a bit, "The name of the story is, The Red-spotted Spider in the Dungeon."

Just hearing the name gave Lux goosebumps.

Fiona also cast a glance.

"The guard was on duty in the dungeon at the time. There was only a little light in the dark corridor, and that day was no different than usual. He was walking when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the ceiling behind him."

"At first, he didn't pay attention, but the sound became louder and louder, so he turned his head and glanced at the ceiling. Suddenly! The sound disappeared, and then..."

Lu Qi spoke bit by bit in the tone of telling a ghost story.

I saw that the blond girl next to me was getting nervous after hearing the last part.

So he raised his tone a little and said, "Then he didn't see anything."

Hearing this, Lux just breathed a sigh of relief.

He heard Lu Qi suddenly speeding up his speech: "But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a palm-sized red-spotted spider rushing towards his face!"

Hiss~!

Lux, who had yet to catch her breath, suddenly took another deep breath, almost suffocating herself to death.

When that picture appeared in her mind, she suddenly felt that she might as well die.

"The red-spotted spider is the size of a palm, and its body is covered with fine hairs. It is everywhere."

"Stop, stop talking."

Lacus stopped Lu Qi, who was about to continue speaking, with a pale face. Just thinking about it now made her feel a chill in her heart.

She silently swore in her heart that she would never step into the dungeon no matter what.

"That's it?"

Fiona didn't even show any expression after listening.

Maybe it's because she's not afraid of spiders.

Lu Qi then asked: "What creature is Miss Sword Girl afraid of?"

"There's nothing particularly scary." Fiona thought for a moment and replied, "But there is something annoying, called the long-faced bat."

Hearing this, Lu Qi said: "That's easy, just replace the red-spotted spider in the story with a long-faced bat."

Would you like to share your story here?

He rolled his eyes at Lu Qi.

Fiona thought about it for a moment, and after replacing the red-spotted spider with the long-faced bat she hated, she did feel a chill.

After all, no one wants to be walking and suddenly face to face with a creature that they hate or fear.

Lu Qi glanced at Lux, who was in a daze, and couldn't help but smile.

Lux who steps into the dungeon in the future may become the trigger of all troubles.

Or, whether she steps in or not, the ending will not change.

And what Lu Qi did at this moment was just to take a vaccination.

The three of them made their last stop at the Church of the Illuminator.

Lux wanted to visit Kashina, and Lu Qi also remembered that he had made an appointment with Moff to meet again in three days.

Fiona had nothing to do, so she followed along.

When the three of them arrived at the Illuminator Church, they found that the atmosphere here was different from the past.

Not only are there many more illuminators here, but there are also many people, including Barrett.

With half his hair white, he stood in the crowd wearing a priest's robe.

"Uncle Barrett."

Lu Qi walked forward, said hello, and asked doubtfully, "Is there something going on here?"

Barrett was not surprised to see it was Lu Qi. His daughter Kashina said that Lu Qi occasionally came to the Illuminator Church.

At this time, he slowly said: "A few children are missing. One of them is a child named Moff. I heard that he has a good relationship with you. Do you know anything?"

"Moff?"

Lu Qi was even more puzzled, then shook his head, "I don't know anything."

"Your Highness!"

At this time, Kashina's voice came from the other end, and she was running towards this end.

"I was just about to ask someone to find you."

Stopping panting, Kashina took a breath and said, "Mov and the others must have run away from home."

Hearing this, Lu Qi was even more surprised.

As she spoke, she took out a shriveled piece of paper from her pocket and handed it over: "I found this under Mofu's pillow."

Lu Qi took the note, spread it out and looked at it. He saw several large characters written crookedly on the note. The handwriting looked like a child's handwriting, and there were even two typos.

"I'm going to make money! Don't worry about me!"

The above is a very simple sentence, which also expresses what Mofu wants to express.

This seems to be something he left on purpose.

It can indeed be inferred from this that Mov most likely left on his own initiative.

Folding the note, Lu Qi raised his head and asked, "How many of them are missing? When did you find out?"

"Five, Moff and a little girl, and three eight or nine-year-old children, not long ago."

Kashina told the story roughly, "In the morning, they were still there. But at noon, Mov took a few children out, because they have been going out to play near the church in recent days."

"These children are very sensible. They only went out to play after helping the church with the chores. It was the same today, so we didn't pay attention. Usually they would come back after playing for a while."

"But today they played for a long time, so I thought about going nearby to take a look, but I didn't see any of them at all. At that time, I felt something was wrong."

Having said this, Kashina sighed in a bad mood and blamed herself.

"It would have been better if I had found out earlier. We looked around the area and couldn't see them, and this is what happened now."

She informed her father about the incident, and Barrett came after hearing the news.

Although he is the high priest of the Illuminator, he is usually busy with other things and will not be here often.

After hearing that the five children were missing, I summoned a group of Illuminators to see if there were any clues. I also asked nearby residents to help search for them.

Although Mo Fu ran away from home on his own initiative, he still had five children, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.

"Why did Moff run away from home?"

Lu Qi asked in confusion at this time.

He knew Moff fairly well. This kid was sensible early, so logically he shouldn't be.

The note said I went to make money.

But he is only in this grade, how much money does he earn?

"Maybe it's because he's too sensible."

Kashina sighed again, "There are three Illuminator churches in the royal capital, and the monthly expenses are huge. Recently, more and more children have been admitted here, and every mouth is waiting for food. The Illuminators all felt a lot of pressure, and Mov might have noticed it."

As mentioned before, the Illuminators are a charitable group determined to help the weak and sick.

It doesn’t mean that just taking in a few children and helping them find a few families willing to adopt is enough.

The Illuminator has more to do than that.

Even because of the appeal of the Bouvier family and Barrett, people donate money to the Illuminator every year.

But all the money was spent on business, and there was often a shortage of money.

The next two chapters are transitional chapters, you can skip them if you don’t like them.
