The next morning after the banquet, Lux left the hotel with her full set of honors.
According to the plan, she was going to explore the frost disaster - the "enthusiastic" Mr. Cordola had already informed everyone.
Although several guards were imprisoned in the prison of the city defense army because of the fight last night and have not been able to come out now, the little princess of the crown guard still looked quite grand.
And the nobles who usually didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning rarely got up early together and set off with Lux, heading straight to the pre-selected "disaster place".
The large group of people soon arrived at their destination.
Coincidentally, this is the place where Lux stayed disguised as the daughter of Orion - the village chief even charged her a few copper coins for introduction.
The village chief obviously did not recognize Lacus - or in other words, he did not dare to look directly at Lacus. Facing such a large group of nobles, he could only tremblingly tell the story of the village in recent years.
"Unfortunate Encounter".
According to him, this village was in dire straits, and its survival in the past three years was all due to the Lord's "kindness" and "many support."
In the end, the old man became more and more sad as he talked, and even burst into tears.
To be fair, if Lux hadn't been here before, she might have really believed it.
Among the nobles, many ladies and ladies also took out their handkerchiefs and wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes. They all seemed to have the heart of a Bodhisattva and did not want to see others suffering.
Comparatively speaking, their acting skills were much worse than that of the old man. He had to squeeze out his tears. Among the people, only Kodola's acting skills were passable. He strode forward and helped him up.
The old man comforted the other person softly, and then strode to Lux's side regardless of the dirt on his body.
"Miss Laxana, take a look!" he said sadly, "so much wheat has been frozen!"
Obviously, Cordola is still consciously influencing Lux with her "impolite" behavior, hoping that she will continue at her own pace.
Although he was very anxious on the surface, he was happy in his heart:
go quickly!
Go to the fields and dig out wheat seedlings!
Noble Laxana, I wonder how much patience and noble dignity you can retain after seeing the dirty roots of the wheat seedlings?
I wonder if those farmers would think of secretly reporting you when they see you looking like you are not distinguishing between grains and grains?
A twelve-year-old girl also learns to check accounts?
After you finish this scene, go back to Xiongdu to drink milk!
Under Cordora's eyes full of "expectation", Lux strode forward.
She's happy to play her last act - and when she's done, she'll have some real fun with you!
Lifting up the hem of her dress, Lux strode into the field, then leaned down with familiarity and reached out to touch the wheat leaves.
"The texture of the leaves is almost gone."
"You can't pinch the veins on the back of the leaf with your fingers."
"There are a lot of ice particles in the crushed leaves."
"It seems like the frost is really serious here!"
Seeing that Lux seemed to admit Frost, the nobles who were nervous before were relieved - Cordola has been unwilling to tell them how to deceive Lux, so even though Cordola has always been very capable, but
It's still unsettling.
Cordola, on the other hand, frowned slightly and then shouted loudly:
"Yes, Miss Laxana, we need to provide disaster relief immediately!"
Lux can recognize frost, which somewhat surprises Cordora.
But it doesn't matter, he made two layers of preparations - the wheat fields here are really frozen!
Just last night in the middle of the night, he personally supervised Frozen!
Even if Lacus later said that he used the wrong method to mislead him, he would still have an excuse - whether he remembered it wrongly or refused to admit it, there was nothing Lacus could do against him.
Nobles are very good at things like mixing mud. They are all related to each other. There is no principled mistake. They are just anxious and bald. What can you do to me?
However, what everyone did not expect was that Lux did not continue to follow Cordola's words this time.
"Wait a moment." Putting down her skirt, Lux stood up and held down the hilt of her sword, "But such a severe frost doesn't seem to match the climate here."
"The climate in Mithril City has been very unstable in recent years." Cordola seemed to have already prepared his words, "The cold wave in the north is elusive, and many times the climate does not match people's physical sensations..."
"Of course, there is another possibility." This time it was Lux's turn to interrupt Cordola, "That is... there is a cunning mage here to cause destruction!"
Lux didn't mean to hide anything, she spoke her words, and almost everyone present heard her words.
"Mage?"
"How can this be?"
"No way……"
"..."
"..."
Obviously, Lux's words exceeded everyone's expectations.
Except for Cordola, who looked a little unhappy, everyone else—even the nobles—were whispering in low voices.
The villagers looked at each other one by one, feeling extremely uneasy.
Originally, I just heard that the lord was going to put on a play, and after the play was completed, the land tax would be halved next year. Who would have thought that while the play was going on, a mage would suddenly be involved!
We are just extravaganzas acting as onlookers!
I can’t afford the job of a mage!
In Demacia, if a mage is causing trouble, the nature of the whole thing is completely different!
"This must be a misunderstanding." Cordola naturally couldn't agree with Lux's statement, "How can any mage create such a large-scale frost disaster——"
"That's not certain." Lux interrupted again, "But it doesn't matter. In order to eliminate the problem, I have invited magic searchers here. They are professionals and can determine whether anyone here has used magic."
The next moment, under Cordola's desperate gaze, several guys in gray robes appeared in the crowd.
They didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and just stepped forward carelessly.
And with their appearance, the crowd, no matter nobles or commoners, all shut their mouths - in the entire field, only the sound of the howling wind and the clanking of the magic stone shackles around the demon searchers' waists were heard.
These guys, called "grey hyenas", are independent of all systems in Demacia and form their own group.
They are not involved in any wars or internal affairs.
But anything involving mages and magic is under their jurisdiction!
In Demacia, the forbidden country of demons, searching for the names of demons can stop children from crying at night!
The leader of the demon seekers held a torch. After hearing Lux's order, he touched his chest and saluted, and then lit the torch.
According to Lux's request, he brought the torch close to the ground - this is a unique tool for demon seekers. It can judge whether there are traces of magic by the color of the flame.
As the torch went downwards and touched the soil, the original orange-red flame suddenly swelled, and then instantly turned into ice blue.
And this faint blue flame represents the traces of magic left here!
The crowd was in an uproar.
The village chief fell to the ground sluggishly. He struggled several times but could not get up.
There was even some commotion among the nobles. Some people guessed the reason, and some people didn't - but regardless of guessing or not, they all realized that something was wrong.
Then, contrary to everyone's expectations, the first person to speak out was Cordola.
"Cunning mage!" At this time, he seemed to have felt deceived, and became furious, "Guards! Surround this place! And you -"
While talking, Cordora grabbed a girl from among the nobles' attendants.
She is about the same age as Lux, but is very thin. Dressed like a maid, she looks small and inconspicuous.
"You said your family was the worst hit, and I kindly took you and your brother in. Unexpectedly, you actually lied to me!" Cordola raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "The magician's trick... are you a magician?
!”
Having said this, he looked at the demon seekers.
"Come and see if she is a mage!"
The demon seeker subconsciously held up the torch and turned around.
Then, just as the torch approached her, the flames that had just turned orange because they were far away from the ground turned pure blue again.
"He is indeed a cunning mage!" Cordola immediately drew out his sword, "Cunning villain——"
As if he was so angry that he didn't even wait for the demon seeker to take out the magic stone shackles, he had already swung his sword and headed straight for the girl.
Facing this sword, the girl seemed to have resigned herself to her fate, tightly closing her mouth and closing her eyes in despair.
Then, just as she was about to take five steps to be splashed with blood, a sword light struck like lightning!
"ah--"
The next moment, Lux's figure had appeared beside her, and Cordola, who had just been full of momentum, staggered and fell to the ground.
It wasn't until his face fell into the cold soil that the pain hit him like an afterthought.
At that moment, Cordora finally realized that his sword, together with his right hand, had fallen into the soil three steps away.
Blood spurted out, staining Lux's dress with a large red glow, and also wet her long golden hair.
The white moonlight in the capital of Demacia was finally dyed into red roses!
The ranks of the nobles were in chaos, and the scene was so exciting that several ladies and young ladies fainted on the spot.
But Lux didn't care about this. She just wiped the blood on the sword blade on her long dress skirt, then sheathed her sword and stood up. Amid the horrified eyes of everyone, she touched the little girl with light blond hair in front of her.
The girl asked in a low voice:
"Silly boy, just now - why didn't you hide?"
