Serious People, Who is Learning Magic at Marvel?

"She's awake, General."

Shane nodded slightly, then stepped into the camp. The huge body deliberately lightened its steps so as not to wake the sleeping soldiers in the middle of the night. They still have a tough battle to fight tomorrow morning, and it's not enough without rest.

Open the tent, and deliberately increase the size just enough to accommodate Sion. His huge body blocked most of the firelight, and the girl lay on a bed that had just been changed, surrounded by blood-stained bandages and pills. She was pale, but still insisted not to fall into a deep sleep.

The army doctor said softly beside Shane, "She insists on seeing you."

Without words, Sean stepped forward. The girl couldn't see him coming, and could only sense that some kind of behemoth had entered the tent - just like she had thrown a fireball based on her senses before.

"Did you save me?" Her voice sounded very hoarse.

"It's me." Sean replied lightly.

"Thank you..." The girl was silent for a while and asked, "But, why?"

"what why?"

"The lords of the devil seekers are willing to release a sinner like me. You must be a strong man... I also heard the shouts of the soldiers. Did you do it all?"

"it's me."

The girl continued: "You saved me, do you want me to do something for you?"

A sneer appeared on Shane's face, and the military doctor caught a glimpse of it, and immediately lowered his head, feeling a chill. But his voice was still calm: "What can you do for me?"

"Just let me take care of my body.... Just a little bit better, my lord, and I can put on fireballs like that again—"

"—No need." Sean interrupted her.

The girl was stunned, then nodded dryly: "Yes, I am a useless cursed person after all..."

"Who said you were cursed?"

The girl was silent for a while, and then said sternly: "Mother, father...The villagers, and the lords of the witch hunters, they all say that I am a cursed blasphemer. That's why I am hunted by monsters. Take it away, gentlemen."

"That's not a curse, that's a talent, child." Sain said slowly. "What you have is not a curse, on the contrary, it is a talent that many people cannot envy."

After he finished speaking,

Not only did the girl not understand, on the contrary, her face was full of doubts: "talent?"

Shane answered her patiently: "Yeah, talent. What you master is called magic, and you're a natural mage, boy. Oh, I almost forgot to ask you... What's your name?"

"Elena... my lord. My name is Elena," she whispered.

"Very good, my name is Sean, and don't call me an adult anymore. You can call me general or a commander, but I'm not someone's adult. Besides, I don't need you to do anything for me. You're just a child. , try to grow." Sean reached out and covered her with a thin blanket, his gentle movements unbelievable compared to his size.

"Remember this...then rest, children like you, even in the poorest parts of the empire, should live carefree until adulthood before thinking about other things."

After speaking, he left, and the tent was quiet again. The military doctor followed him, not leaving an inch, and heard him say: "Bring the people from the Crimson Secret Society... Aren't they able to be reborn from severed limbs? Let them try and see if this child can regain light."

The doctor bowed slightly and watched Shane leave.

-------------------------------------

Marseno hasn't returned to Xiongdu for a long time, and since he's an adult, the more he finds this place so disgusting. Although those towering and white buildings are beautiful and full of the ingenuity of their designers, in his view, their only function is to shade the sun.

Other than that, nothing else.

No one in high society can see the shaded corners of the sun. Just as none of them can see ordinary people who are living in pain.

But he still came back, he had to come. In an uncontrollable trance, his commitment to Galen Crownguard made him go against his nature, knocking on the Crownguard's door late at night.

This is not a good choice.

Usually, the visit will be chosen during the day, and it will be the day when the weather is particularly good. Especially for a surname as glorious as Crown Guard, Marseno's actions at this time were no different than offensive -- but he had no choice.

It didn't take long for the doorman with an impatient expression to open the door, and he yawned: "Sir, what's the matter with you? It's late at night - the God of Flying Wings is above, the medal in your hand. Where did it come from?!"

"Be quiet!" Marseno looked around, making sure no one noticed the place, and said eagerly and in a low voice, "I am entrusted by Commander Galen to see Miss Laxana!"

The doorman pulled him in immediately, then closed the door with great speed and locked it. He beckoned to Marseno and motioned for him to come with him. The two began to walk through the Crown Guard's grand mansion.

"You're lucky, sir, Miss Laxana shouldn't have slept yet, sigh, Miss Tiana should really pay attention. She's still young, how can she care so much about her body?" It was only then that Senuo noticed that he looked very old.

"How long have you been at the Crownguard's house, sir?"

"Me?" The guard smiled. "Thirty years, I've been here since Ms. Tiana was a child."

They walked all the way up to the third floor. The sight Marseno had seen along the way made him a little worried - the decline of the Crown Guard family was no longer a secret, at least not in the Xiongdu circle. But he didn't expect that the Crown Guard's family would end up here...

In addition to the most basic and necessary decorations, such as chandeliers, carpets, vases. All other decorations like knight armor or paintings disappeared, and the corridors looked empty. The nobles would have placed these things in the corridors.

And...with an old man who's been there for thirty years as a doorman, this job should be done by those young and strong lads.

The doorman took him to a stop outside a reddish-brown wooden door. He reached out and knocked on the door, and said softly, "Miss Laksana! Are you still awake?"

There was a loud noise inside, and a flustered female voice said forcefully, "Ah, ah. I'm here, Mr. Hunter, what's the matter?"

The doorman glanced at Marseno with an apologetic smile, and he continued: "A gentleman has come to visit you with the medal of Master Galen!"

"...I understand, ask him to wait for a while, we will meet in the reception room." The girl's voice completely calmed down, and the etiquette she showed at this time made Marseno slightly relieved.

Gu Xian

He did not sit long in the parlour when the lady Laxanna Crownguard came.

She was as beautiful as rumored, with blond hair and slick skin. On another occasion, Marseno would gladly spend ten minutes complimenting her beauty just to get a shy smile. But not now, now is not the time.

Marseno put the badge on the low mahogany table in the reception room, and he said in a deep voice, "I met Commander Galen at the border today during the day..."

He repeated what he and Galen had said in full, and Miss Laxana's face became worse and worse as he narrated. She narrowed her eyes, and the look of that moment reminded Marseno of Tiana Crownguard, the current head of the Crownguard family, known for his iron fist.

"So, you mean, those nobles are planning to rebel? This is a very serious correction."

"I swear to God it's true, it's not false."

"But, it doesn't make sense." She was very beautiful even with a frown, and she didn't even have a charm. "The Noxians are about to reach Castle Dawn today. How dare they choose to relinquish their brother's rank at this time? That would be too stupid."

Marseno shook his head. "They've got something else to rely on, Miss Laxana. Do you know the Mageseekers?"

Whether it was an illusion or not, Marseno felt that the moment he mentioned the mageseeker, Miss Laxana's face turned pale.

"I know, what's wrong?"

"Magicseekers are the minions of those nobles, unlike you, who came from the glorious family of the Crown Guard. Most nobles in Xiongdu only know pleasure all day long, and they will not give up wealth like Commander Garen. life and volunteered to join the army.... I said far."

"In short, the demon hunters have been persecuting the mage for so many years. In fact, there is only one purpose - do you know the 100-meter colossus above the guardian square?"

Of course I know... Laxana thought. I often run to chat with him when I have nothing to do.

"He's actually alive," Marseno said solemnly. "Although I know this sounds like a dream come true, but I—"

Laxana interrupted him: "I trust you."

Marseno was stunned: "Uh—that would be better."

He coughed and then said: "The colossus is usually just a lifeless stone statue, but if there is enough magic power, he can move, take a rest, Miss Laksana! A 100-meter colossus, Nuo No amount of soldiers from Texas can stop him!"

"That's why they feel that it doesn't matter if there is Commander Garen or not. Rather, they wish he didn't come back! That way, there is a reason to dismiss him after the war! I think that's why they are so confident."

Marseno came to a conclusion, he was worried, but found Laxana showing a slight smile.

"Then they're nothing to be afraid of, sir. By the way, haven't asked your name yet?"

"...Marsono, just call me Marsono."

"Okay, Marseno, but you don't know. The Colossus actually has self-awareness, and he is not a weapon without self-awareness. He knows all these things when people pass by him and greet him. So if those nobles feel that If they were able to drive him after doing those disgusting things, then they were dead wrong."

"But, how did you know these things?"

Laxana smiled and said, "Ah, that's the Crownguard's little secret, Mr. Marseno."

-------------------------------------

"Commander, are we really going back?"

Galen heard his lieutenant ask.

"Certainly, do you have any questions, Corporal?"

The adjutant was silent for a while, and then replied: "...The soldiers were all puzzled. It wasn't long before the Noxians retreated. Who knows if they will fight back? If we retreat, then the frontier The soldiers certainly couldn't stop them."

"Very well, you raised a very meaningful question." Galen nodded and said, "Just today, a Noxian invaded Xiongdu, he broke the quadruple defense, and left Dawn Castle is just a wall away."

"what?"

Ignoring the adjutant's stunned expression, Galen continued, "I know this may be hard to believe, but corporal."

He stared into the corporal's eyes and said word by word, "I swear by my surname and my honor, if we don't go back, then it will be too late!"

"...I trust you, Commander," said the corporal, making way out so Garen could leave the room: "But the soldiers obviously need an explanation. Do you want to tell them?"

"Of course, Corporal." Galen smiled. "An explanation is necessary. You go and inform them first, and we'll see you at the training ground later."

After a while, he saw all the soldiers of the Fearless Pioneer on the training ground. This is an elite unit, the number of which has never been small.

Garen looked around and said aloud: "I know you are all puzzled. You feel that this time, Huixiong is not only disobedient, but also allows those Noxians to take advantage. But!"

He slowed his tone: "But, soldiers, friends, brothers... trust me."

Galen looked earnestly at the brothers who had fought with him for many years, and said with sincerity: "The Noxians invaded the city as early as the daytime, and even broke the four-fold line of defense. They are far from dawn. The castle is very close, but we have not received any news, and are still stationed here on the frontier!"

"If Xiongdu falls, what's the point of continuing to guard the border? You may not understand why we haven't received any news - the answer is simple! Because the enemy is not just Noxians, but some worms inside!"

The fearless pioneers remained silent, but many people had already begun to look at each other in dismay. Obviously, Xiongdu is far away from the border, but there is no wall that is impermeable to the wind. What the nobles did, they would also have heard to some extent.

At least, what Garen said was right—there were indeed some moths inside Demacia.

Garen took a deep breath, making this decision difficult for him. But he has to.

He looked at the Fearless Pioneers with a firm and determined look: "I never lie, but I will never be hard on others. If anyone wants to stay, they can raise their hands, and you will continue to exist as the Fearless Pioneers."

In the end, no one raised their hands.
