Demacia is a conservative feudal kingdom.
There are no gorgeous neon lights or bustling night markets here at night, only closed shops and dim streets.
The streets are deserted and cold, and there is almost no one to be seen except the patrolling guards.
After rushing out of the Church of the Illuminator, Lux ran towards the manor of the Crown Guard family according to the impression in her mind.
She was like a student sneaking out of school at night, wanting to rush back to her dormitory before the "dorm inspection" came.
In order to save time, she even walked along the rugged path in the forest.
"Ouch!"
Lux cried out in pain, and was suddenly tripped by a stone protruding from the ground while running.
She immediately fell forward to the ground, and had an intimate contact with Mother Earth, and even her clothes and hair were stained with some dirt.
"Damn it! It's okay that the bad guy Aidier bullied me, after all, he is a demon hunter, but how dare you, a little stone, trip me up?"
Lux stood up in a somewhat embarrassed manner and reached out to pat the dirt on her clothes.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she didn't know whether it was because of anger or grievance.
She turned around and glared at the stone under her feet fiercely, as if to vent, she stepped on the stone hard, and then said proudly:
"Hmph! This kick is returned to you, and we owe each other nothing from now on!"
Aidier, who was hidden in the darkness not far behind her, watched this scene silently, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
He didn't know how to evaluate the girl's childish behavior.
Because he had only seen all this in innocent children.
Although it was very stupid, it was not disgusting. Instead, it gave people a sense of stupidity and cuteness, which made people relax their vigilance and get along with it, without having to be as tired as dealing with human spirits.
After venting her anger, Lux looked around anxiously.
She found that the light in the dense forest where this trail was located was dimmer than in other places. In addition, the rugged path and various obstacles made the road here extremely difficult to walk.
She looked up at the sky.
The moonlight tonight was a little hazy, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed thicker than usual.
"It should be fine in just a little while. There are not many people around here anyway."
Lux looked around vigilantly, her big eyes rolling, revealing a cunning look.
She carefully took off her white silk gloves, and a little bright white light condensed at her fingertips, illuminating the dim environment nearby.
Lux was a little excited, looking at the white light at her fingertips, her eyes seemed to no longer have the disgust and resistance she had before.
She remembered what Aidier said to her today.
Magic itself is not dangerous, it mainly depends on what the user does with it.
Lux's eyes became firm, and her heart seemed to have a little more faith and goal.
She stared blankly at the beam of light coming from her fingertips, and whispered in a voice that only she could hear:
"Maybe I can change Demacia, protect it with magic, and protect this country forever like the winged guardian, bringing eternal dawn to Demacia!"
It seemed that she imagined in her mind that she saved Demacia with magic and was loved and recognized by people.
Lux couldn't help but stand there, smiling foolishly: "If there is really a day, then I will be the goddess of light of Demacia! It is the light that dispels the haze in everyone's heart!"
Sure enough, every girl has a dream of becoming a goddess in her heart, just like every boy has a dream of being a hero in his heart.
Aidil, who was hidden in the back, felt speechless. He didn't know what Lux was thinking, and he actually used his light magic at this time.
Although he had guided the other party not to resist his talent, to accept and use his magic ability, he never thought that the other party would risk exposing his identity as a magic infected person to do a small thing of lighting.
Aidil frowned, looking at Lux staring at his glowing fingertips and whispering in place, with a silly smile on his face.
He was a little confused, wondering what the other party suddenly thought of, and actually stood there and smiled foolishly at this time.
But then, the prompt sound in his mind made Aidil even more confused.
[Favorability +5]
Before Aidil could figure out the situation, Lux in front of him had already moved forward again with the help of the light.
This time her speed became much faster, and she would pass through this small forest in a short while.
But just when she was about to reach the end of the forest, a loud shout suddenly came from the front: "Who is there?"
This shout made LuxTerrified.
She raised her head suddenly and saw several patrolling guards on the street ahead looking at her.
From her perspective, she could clearly see the figures and faces of several people, and that was why she subconsciously thought she was discovered.
‘No! I can’t let them see me clearly! ’
Lux’s heart was pounding, and she hurriedly put away the light from her fingertips, put her hands behind her back, and then turned around and ran to the back.
From the perspective of the guards, because the light in the forest was dim, they only found a figure in the dense forest, and the figure was suspected to be holding a lighting object in his hand. Just when they wanted to step forward to ask, the other party suddenly ran away!
“Catch her!”
Although the other party’s specific identity was not certain, since he had already escaped, it was obvious that he had something to hide! Maybe he was a dangerous mage!
Without saying a word, several guards rushed forward to catch the mysterious person in front of them. This was their duty!
In Demacia, people attach great importance to honor and responsibility, even the lowest-level soldiers are no exception.
The footsteps behind her hit Lux's heart like a drum.
She was frightened and pale, and she rushed into the dense forest like a little white mouse.
But suddenly, a strong hand stretched out from nowhere, grabbed her arm, and dragged her behind the tree.
"No... Don't!"
Lux subconsciously thought that she was caught, and was caught as a demon infected.
She stretched out her other hand in fear and hit the person who came.
The pink little fist hit the chest of the person who came quite hard, making a thumping sound!
"Stop hammering! I'm helping you out of kindness, but you're still hammering!"
Aidil grabbed Lux's other hand angrily and glared at him viciously.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lux suddenly raised her head, with a look of joy on her face as if she had escaped death.
The big stone hanging in her heart suddenly fell to the ground, and her whole body became a little limp.
Her bright eyes stared at the man in front of her, and she had never felt that he was so pleasing to the eye.
"Why is it you?"
Lux asked with some surprise at first.
But as the urgent sound from behind got closer, the joy on Lux's face immediately changed.
She pleaded with a hint of tears: "Let's run! I seem to have been discovered!"
Aidier glanced at her calmly, "Don't panic, you just got discovered, and the situation is not to the point where you need to run away."
Looking at Aidier's calm face, for some reason, Lux felt as if she had taken a sedative, and her heart suddenly felt much more at ease.
She seemed to see the shadow of her brother Galen in Aidier, which made her feel particularly reliable and at ease.
Feeling the warmth on the back of her hand, Lux came back to her senses and looked at her own hands.
At this moment, she realized that her hands were tightly held in the other person's palms without knowing when.
Lux felt her heart burning, and her cheeks began to gradually heat up. She glanced at Aidil shyly and pulled her hands away slightly.
"Who are you?"
Just then, several guards came to the two of them and stared at them with a vigilant look.
Aidil walked forward calmly, took out his demon hunter badge, and said sternly: "I am the demon hunter Aidil, and this is Miss Laxana of the Crown Guard family. She is not an outlaw."
The guards took Aidil's badge, looked at it carefully, and finally nodded to each other for confirmation.
One of them asked with some doubts: "What about the light before?"
Lux's heart tightened, and sticky sweat came out of her clenched palms.
She looked at Aidier beside her with some trepidation. At this moment, he was the only person she could trust.
Aidier took up an oil lamp from his feet calmly. This was something he had taken out from the system space before, in order to deal with the current situation.
He stored a lot of daily necessities in the system space to prevent future troubles and deal with some unpredictable emergencies.
"This was the one that was lit before, but the oil inside has burned out."
Lux breathed a sigh of relief, and her pale little face regained its rosy color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Several guards looked around for a while, and finally nodded and saluted Aidier.
"I'm sorry, sir, at this critical moment, we had to offend you because we had no choice."
The status of the demon hunters in Demacia is transcendent, even the lowest level of the demon huntersDemons, their military rank is much higher than other soldiers.
Because of this, several guards immediately showed a humble attitude after confirming that everything was correct.
"It's okay, I understand you, if you have nothing else to do, just continue patrolling."
"Yes!"
