Although Kalya patiently expressed his apology and explained in detail the reasons for this situation, the "outstanding graduates' combat record" still stimulated Lux.
In the next period of time, she devoted herself to carving magic circuits and conducting simulation training - and the opponents of the simulation training also changed from the scarabs at the beginning to the more cunning desert jackals and desert hyenas.
, venomous desert iguanas and desert snakes.
When facing different enemies, Lux gradually learned to solve problems according to local conditions and deal with enemies in a targeted manner, because no matter what kind of animal they were, they had all appeared in the bedtime stories told by Kalya.
After realizing this, Lux will proactively think about their strengths and weaknesses, and then deal with them accordingly.
As her experience gradually increased, Lux finally had the tendency to convert her talents into combat power.
This smoothness continued until Chapter 5 of virtual training.
Here, she met the Sand Bandit.
This was the first time Lux faced humans as her training opponents. Even though she knew very well that this was fake and the product of a memory, when she actually saw these sand pirates, she was a little stunned and couldn't go down at all.
hand.
Different from the vicious ones she had thought before, the sand bandits who appeared in the simulation training were actually not much different from the scavengers she had seen before. They were equally dressed in rags and were equally thin.
The only thing that can distinguish them from scavengers is the weapons in their hands and their bloodthirsty eyes.
After discovering Lux, the sharp scimitars of the sand pirates were unsheathed one after another, and the blades were particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
Pairs of greedy eyes were fixed on Lacus, and their salty eyes seemed to be looking at every part of Lacus from head to toe.
Even in the hot desert, even wearing a robe, Lux still couldn't help but shiver.
Lux doesn't speak ancient Shurima, so she doesn't understand what the sand pirates are saying.
However, from their expressions and eyes, Lux still felt the malice that pierced their souls. This unabashed greed was even more direct and animalistic than the hyenas she had faced before.
They are humans, but more terrifying than beasts.
The sand bandits swarmed up.
When these guys took action, they clearly wanted to capture Lux alive - as for what would happen after they were captured alive...
Lux would not think that they wanted to make friends with her.
The hesitation that she had in her heart when facing the same kind was completely erased. Lux took a deep breath, raised her left hand to condense a ball of light into her palm, and then gently brushed the blade.
Wherever it went, the long sword in Lux's hand became completely shining.
The next moment, in the astonished eyes of the sand bandits, she swung her sword forward!
The "enchanted" long sword easily cut off the desert scimitars of the sand bandits.
This astonishing explosion caused the sand pirates to disperse in a hurry, while Lux chose the two slowest runners and quickly gave them a good beating.
After completing all this, even though she had become familiar with the smell of blood from fighting jackals and hyenas, Lux still felt nauseous.
Then, before she could calm down and completely suppress the urge to vomit, the sand pirates ran to a "safe distance" and took out their slings and shuttlecocks.
This was the first time Lux faced a long-range attack. The whistling rocks and whizzing javelins made her even a little overwhelmed for a moment - the previous battles made her somewhat accustomed to solving battles at close range.
It was the first time for Lux to be pulled away from the enemy.
However, Lux, who had gone through many simulation trainings, was no longer the rookie. She silently estimated her physical strength, then pursed her lips, inserted the long sword into the sand under her feet, and raised it high.
Left hand.
In the palm of Lux's palm, the originally jumping light elemental elf suddenly turned into an angry punisher of light. The bright light first spread and exploded on Lux's head, and then crystallized into a solid needle-shaped beam, intensively stimulating
Shoot out.
The light was like heavy rain, hitting the sand bandits who were still throwing stones and javelins.
Just as heavy rain can wash away all filth - this rain of crystallized light also washes away a group of filthy souls.
When the dust settled, Lux once again had the rare feeling of losing strength. She fell on the sand dune with her head raised, breathing heavily.
It was completely different from the previous victories against jackals, hyenas, iguanas, and poisonous snakes. This time, Lux did not feel any joy of victory.
"It's not a good habit to lie down after a battle." Just when Lux was feeling uncomfortable, Kalya came to her side, stretched out his arm, and took the initiative to pull her up. "After strenuous exercise,
Even if you have no strength, you should walk as much as possible to protect your body from injury."
Lux didn't speak - she felt the roughness of Kalya's palm, even more than her father.
This guy obviously claims to be a teacher...why are his palms so rough?
Recalling the enemies she encountered during the simulation training and the environments she had seen, Lux truly realized at this moment that what Kalya said was "I am just an old guy who has seen too much suffering in the world."
No joke.
Thinking of this, Lux, who was originally in a bad mood, suddenly felt...not as uncomfortable anymore.
She even felt a little sorry for Kalya - so she took the initiative to open her arms, stood on tiptoes, and gave Kalya a hug. Like a little adult, she patted Kalya on the back and whispered, "Thank you very much."
".
Kalya, who was robbed of her lines, was stunned.
He originally wanted to comfort Lux in the real-person battle, but as soon as he pulled her up, she was comforted by Lux in turn...
This girl!
"There's no point in being cute." With a snort, Kalya turned around, "Training has to continue - don't waste time here, it's Sona's turn!"
……………………
Originally, Kalya was worried about whether Sona would hesitate when facing the sand pirates.
Unexpectedly, Sona, who looked soft and weak, was more ruthless than Lux. Under the interference of the piano, the sand pirates killed each other, and the final winner finally fell to the sound of the piano.
During the whole process, Sona didn't even blink.
"Aren't your eyes dry?" Looking at the calm Sona, Kalya was also a little helpless, "You and Lux are really strange. You were not calm at all when you fought for the first time, but it was your first time with someone.
When fighting, it ends as if nothing happened..."
Then, before Kalya could finish what he said, Sona suddenly stuffed Guqin Luohua into his arms, bent down and retched.
During the simulation training, Sona couldn't spit out anything - but at least this reaction made her feel a lot better.
"I was completely immersed in the crazy music just now..." Looking at Kalya's stunned eyes, Sona's face turned completely red, "I didn't expect this."
"Okay, okay." Kalya waved his hand, "Anyway, you have passed this training - you are tired, finish it, hurry up!"
……………………
In this way, after more than a month of training, Lux and Sona passed Kalya's first round of simulation training and truly possessed a certain degree of actual combat ability.
Then, just as Kalya began to prepare for the second round of practice, Ogsha found Lux and assigned her a "practical task" belonging to the Crownguard family.
"What, you want me to go back to Mithril City?" Lux was quite surprised after hearing her mother's request. "To investigate the frost disaster there, to check the tax situation, and to organize disaster relief?"
"That's right." Ogesha nodded, touching her daughter's long golden hair, "You are already twelve years old this year, and you can already start learning to handle the family's internal affairs."
"But I've never been exposed to these before!" Although she didn't resist disaster relief, Lux was still very worried, "I'm afraid I'll mess it up..."
"Don't worry too much, honey." Ogesha smiled, "Mr. Cullen will act with you - this time you are the nominal leader, but in fact you have to focus on learning. What don't you understand?
Just ask Mr. Cullen."
"...Phew, that's it!" Lux patted her chest, "It's okay, okay, but it may take a long time to get to Mithril City from here. My father is at the Gate of Sorrow, and my aunt went to Irwin.
Dale, you and your brother are the only ones left at home, isn’t it too deserted?”
"Your brother also went back to join the army." Ogesha corrected her, "But the location where he joined the army is not far from Mithril City, and last time Tiana wrote a letter saying that her work in Owendale was about to be completed.
- maybe the three of you can spend the New Year together in Mithril City!"
"What about you?" Lux frowned, "Otherwise... Mom and I will go together. We will go back to Mithril City to celebrate the New Year this year, and let Dad be with his soldiers at the Gate of Sorrow!"
"You can't say that about your father." Ogesha tugged at the nose of her little cotton-padded jacket, "I won't go. There must be someone in the family who stays in Xiongdu. The little princess of our Crown Guard family left for official duties, so I
Of course I have to stay and cover the shift..."
Lux finally took over the disaster relief mission.
Back in the bedroom, Lux couldn't sleep.
On the one hand, she was unwilling to leave her mother, nor to be separated from Sona; on the other hand, she was excited to go out and see freely - even if, as Ogesha said, she wanted to learn from Mr. Cullen
Yes, but it still made her full of expectations.
"Karya, Karya, tell me, wouldn't it be boring for my mother to stay alone in the metropolis?"
"No, she will only have more work. She will take over all the banquets you attended."
"Karya, Karya, isn't Sona's study progress falling behind?"
"She can focus on her music studies during this period, practice more, learn Demacia's classical music genre, and even join a band or something, so she won't be left behind."
"Karya, Karya, have you ever been separated from your friends?"
"Well, many times."
"Karya, Karya—"
"..."
"Karya..."
"..."
In the end, Kalya, who was confused by Lacus, had to end the Hundred Thousand Whys with a story - and then, as soon as he told the beginning, Lacus fell into a deep sleep.
"This dead girl." Kalya sighed lowly, "Forget it, let me think about it...Mithril City..."
