The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Xiongdu

Lothar kept staring at the woman in the black skirt.

The woman in the black skirt didn’t pay attention to Lothar’s eyes. She stood on the attic of a remote hotel in Xiongdu, and no one could see her existence.

“Who are you?” Lothar asked this question for the thirty-first time.

The woman in the black skirt was not impatient. Even though she had answered the same answer thirty times, she was patient with the child whose soul was damaged: “You can call me Ms. Veil.”

“Ms. Veil.” Lothar shook his head, “I’m Lothar!”

“I know.” Madam Veil walked up to Lothar and patted his head, “You are a good boy, I will help you.”

“You are so tall.” Lothar looked up at Ms. Veil, “What kind of centipede or grasshopper do you eat that grows so tall?”

“I didn’t eat anything.”

“Your breasts are so big, it’s very good. You have big breasts and a lot of milk, so you can give birth.”

“Thank you, but I don’t have milk, and I won’t have children.”

“Am I not born to you?”

“no.”

“Why don’t you wear shoes?” Lothar popped up another extremely strange question.

The veiled lady looked down at her bare feet. Even though she had walked through countless places in Demacia, from the muddy paths in the country forests to the marble slabs on Xiongdu Avenue, these feet were always white and soft, not to mention calloused. No, not even a little dust on the soles of the feet.

“Because I want to get my feet dirty.” Madam Veil said.

“Then did you succeed?”

“No.” Ms. Facesha took Lothar to sit on an old sofa. “I am a protoss, and I am a person who cannot be dusted. No filth can defile me.”

“Isn’t that amazing?” Lothar was still staring at the Veiled Lady’s feet.

“This is a curse.” Madam Veil said, “The protoss wants to use this method to highlight their nobility, which is different from ordinary people, but they don’t know that this is the ugly and cold-blooded place of the protoss.”

There was obvious confusion on Lothar’s face, obviously he couldn’t understand.

“So you want to get your feet dirty, but you keep failing?” Lothar only came to this conclusion after listening for a long time.

“Yes.” Madam Veil touched Lothar’s head. She couldn’t remember how long she hadn’t had physical contact with other people, but she unexpectedly missed this feeling.

“Then I’ll help you!” Lothar said energetically, “I’ll definitely get your feet dirty!”

The corners of the veiled lady’s mouth raised slightly behind the veil, and she only regarded Lothar’s words as crazy words after her soul was damaged: “Okay, I’ll wait.”

The veiled lady looked in one direction of Xiongdu, where the breath of death came from.

“If my sister was here, she would definitely not allow the demons to be so rampant in Demacia…” The Veiled Lady stood up and said to herself, “But maybe… it is she who makes the demons become so rampant…”

The veiled lady took Lothar’s hand and walked out of the attic: “Come on, Evelyn has shown her tricks, let’s go find her.”

…

Lacus clenched her hands tightly, but she still couldn’t block the light overflowing from her fingers.

She was running on the streets late at night. After the curfew, the streets of Xiongdu in Demacia were empty, and Lacus didn’t want to see anyone, she just wanted to leave everything behind.

Lux couldn’t control her magic more and more.

Since returning from Fossbarrow, I don’t know if it’s because of the stimulation or the whole thing.She was thinking about things related to Rorschach all day long, and the light on Lux always appeared inadvertently.

This afternoon, she even leaked the magic when she was in class at the Radiance Academy.

She ran out of the classroom without saying a word, ignoring the teacher’s shouting that she must not let people see that she could do magic, otherwise she would be expelled from Demacia.

“This is good, the most ominous rumor in the streets and alleys tomorrow is not that there is another murder case in Xiongdu, but that the youngest daughter of the Crown Guard family skipped school… I will be a laughing stock…” Lacus wiped away a few tears, She didn’t want to see the disappointed eyes of the entire Crown Guard family.

“Magic…magic…why do I know magic…why…”

Lacus thought of Rorschach again. If he was here, maybe he could help Lacus think of some ideas.

“I will never see him again in my life…” Lax walked in a daze, she didn’t know where she was going, she planned to go until she couldn’t walk, the hand in her hand Think again after the light is gone.

Unknowingly, Lacus came to Victory Square in Xiongdu.

This is the square where the Demacian armies gather when they set out on an expedition. It is a place of glory.

Lux raised her head and looked at a huge statue in the center of the square.

“Galio… what should I do…” Lux murmured.

This statue is the guardian statue of the Demacian army. It looks like a giant with wings on its back. Its name is Galio.

Galio is more than ten meters high, and the whole body is made of pure white forbidden magic stone, which was made by the legendary craftsman Duran of Demacia.

Every time the Demacian army goes out, it will be brought with it in a trailer. It is said that Galio can be used to fight against the mages of Noxus. Once enough magic has been absorbed by the magic stone, Galio will move to help the Demacian army win the battle.

But this is just a legend. Lux has never been on the battlefield, and she doesn’t know if Galio can really move. According to her father Pete, he only saw Galio move twice, and each time Galio absorbed the magic, he only made one or two actions, such as flapping his wings to roll up a tornado, such as raising his fists and smashing the ground , but just one or two actions like this can crush a small half of Noxus’ legion.

Lux put her hands on Galio’s toes: “Since you can absorb magic, please absorb all my magic… Please…”

“I can’t do it.” An extremely thick voice sounded above Lacus’s head.

Lacus was startled and fell to the ground. She looked up and saw Galio’s huge face facing her.

“It’s you…you’re talking.” Lacus sat back and stepped back.

Galio raised his head and looked left and right: “In this square, I’m the only one left besides you, little girl.”

“You…you can really move.” Lux was so surprised that she temporarily forgot about her sadness, “You can still talk?”

“Of course I can talk, otherwise I wouldn’t have a mouth carved out.” Galio knelt down halfway, his face slightly closer to Lacus, “Hello, little girl, I can finally talk to you Talk.”

“You know me?” Lacus said unexpectedly

“I’ve felt you since you were very young.” Galio said, “You are the most visible source of magic in this city. I have felt your shimmer since you were a baby. Now, your The light is already strong enough to make me move as soon as I touch it.”

“You are really driven by magic.” Lacus stood up from the ground.

“Yes, I can absorb magic power and then move. If there is no magic power, I will stop. It’s very simple.”

“Then can you suck up my magic power?”

“I can’t do it.”

“why?”

“I don’t have this ability.” Galio stretched out his hand and listened in front of Lacus, “Can you touch me? I won’t be able to move again soon.”

Lux hesitated for a moment, but reached out and touched Galio’s fingertips.

“Thank you.” Galio thanked, “I still like to move. It doesn’t feel good to sleep all the time. Can you talk to me for a while?”

Lux felt a little unreal. She was actually chatting with a stone giant. If someone saw this scene, it would definitely become a big news that shocked the entire Xiongdu.

“I’m sorry, I have to go…” Lacus was very afraid of being seen. Although it was a curfew, there would still be a night guard team, and the Crown Guard family must have sent someone out to look for her.

“Where are you going”

“I…” Lacus found herself unable to answer this question.

The light in her hand is still on, and it is definitely impossible to go home.

Then where else can she go?

“I think… I want to find someone…” Lacus said.

“Who are you looking for?”

“A boy about my age. His name is Rorschach.”

“I can help you find it.” Galio said.

“Really?” Lacus said unexpectedly.

Galio nodded seriously, and moved the wide wings behind his back a few times: “I can fly, very fast, very high, and I can find people. As long as you give me magic power, I can move.”

Galio stretched out his hand: “Deal”

Lux looked at the stone hand in front of her that was bigger than her bed, and slowly stretched out her glowing fingers.

——————————————————————————————————————

Galio is a huge stone statue built by Demacia’s talented and legendary craftsman Duran with the magic stone. After a hundred years, Galio has not suffered any damage despite the wind and the sun.It is a landmark building in the Xiongdu of Demacia.

There is also a rumor that it can move, but this is obviously nonsense. There is no transmission device on Galio’s body, and there are no gaps at all in the joints, so it is impossible to move.
