The little girl saved by Lux seemed to be frightened, her thin body was shaking constantly - I don't know if it was because of the blood sprayed on her face, or for some other reason.
"I...I deserve it." After a while, she finally replied with difficulty, "I used magic to deceive the lord."
"Really?" Lux reached out and wiped the blood from her face and asked in a low voice, "Then why did you do this?"
"Because... the master is kind and cannot bear to hear people suffer." She closed her eyes and let tears flow from the corners of her eyes. "I only need to say that my family's conditions are difficult, and I can go to his manor to work as a maid."
"Then your brother can also be a guard, and there will be two less people in the family to eat, right?" Lux's tone was extremely gentle, "Then your family can save a little more money and buy a suit of armor for your brother.
, buy another horse, even a pack horse, and make him a knight's retinue, right?"
The desperate girl's eyes widened.
"Dear young lady, this is all my plan and has nothing to do with my family——"
"Of course it has nothing to do with your family!" Lux raised her tone and said loudly in a voice that everyone could hear, "It doesn't even have anything to do with you. I was here just seven days ago. At that time
There’s no frost here yet!”
"Did you become a maid seven days ago? Or was the frost in Mithril City reported to the capital seven days ago?!"
At this moment, the girl finally couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Grievance, sadness, pain, shame...all kinds of emotions burst out in an instant. She finally covered her face, squatted down, and cried loudly.
"Yes, respected uncle." Lux turned around and looked at Cordora, who had just stopped the bleeding, "Dear...Mr. Worm!"
"You——" This time, Cordola was really angry, "You damn girl, you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve!"
"This should be what I said to you." Lux shook her head, "You are not willing to deliberately lay many traps, and even destroy an innocent little girl, just to grab something that does not belong to you.
You are the one who really wants the benefits you desire - your family obviously does not lack this kind of money!"
"Of course I have a moment, because I have to consider the rest of the family!" After taking two deep breaths, Cordola distanced herself from Lux and snorted coldly, "I don't lack the money, but
There is a shortage of people - I am not your ruthless father, and I am not even willing to support my own people -"
"Father is naturally willing to support his descendants." Lux interrupted Cordola for the third time, "But, he will not let down His Majesty or Demacia for this!"
"That's really nice to say!" Cordola snorted, "It's a pity that such a eloquent junior will be brutally murdered by the despicable mage today - Ino, take action, I can guarantee the safety of your family and send them out.
Demacia!"
Unfortunately, this little girl named Ino had no intention of doing anything to Lux. She just squatted on the ground and cried loudly, and the tears that flowed freely almost turned into ice.
"Don't be stunned!" Seeing that Ino didn't respond, Cordola simply raised her tone and looked at the people around her, "Don't you see it yet? She's coming for all of us!"
When many nobles heard this, they were somewhat afraid, and their guards also showed their weapons - but unlike what Cordora expected, they did not step forward to help.
Obviously, Lux's performance made them feel a little unsure, and they were unwilling to go to the dark side with Cordola.
At this moment, Dili, whose head was covered with white gauze, strode out of the queue. He quickly drew his sword out of its sheath and stood in front of Lux with his sword horizontally.
"Kodora, you are seeking your own destruction!" Dili shouted loudly, "If you want to touch Miss Laxana, then step over my body!"
"You are a surrogate son-in-law who climbs up women's skirts, and you are still here pretending to be loyal to me?" Cordola was even more anxious and angry, "Guard! Dili colluded with the mage and kidnapped Miss Laxana, and you still haven't done anything!"
Although there was a slight hesitation, these guards loyal to Cordora showed their weapons and raised their shields.
Cordora's trusted guards are well-equipped. Although they are not many in number, there are only two guards around Lux - even if Dili is added, there are only three people.
Then, just as the guards were surrounding them, following Dili's whistle, a tall white horse galloped from a distance. It was armored and fully armed, and even carried a troop of weapons commonly used by rangers.
The lances rushed into the encirclement before the guards formed a complete encirclement.
"Miss, get on the horse!" Di Li took the lance in one hand and the sword in the other, "You take a step first, the city defense army station is not far from here!"
"Hahaha!" Hearing what Dili said, Cordola couldn't help but laugh, "Why, do you want to use your life to pave the carpet for your son to climb onto Lux's bed? Dream! Today, you will all die here!
"
The guards formed a faint circle, and Cordola's wrinkled face was even more ferocious and terrifying - although this would have a great impact, at this point, he had no choice!
"Really?" Lux smiled slightly, "I don't believe it."
"???"
"Actually, Mr. Dili said one thing wrong - the city defense troops are not far away, but have already arrived." Lux picked up the still crying little girl Ino, "By the way, more than just the city defense troops are here.
corps, and the fearless vanguard at the nearest outpost."
Almost as soon as Lux said these words, the ground suddenly trembled, and the people present suddenly changed their colors - there was smoke and dust on the official road not far away, and there were at least hundreds of cavalry, riding tall horses.
Coming at full speed!
And at the front of the cavalry team, there was Galen with his sword unsheathed!
Even though they were hundreds of steps away, Galen's voice still rolled in like thunder and echoed in everyone's ears.
"Cunning villain! Who dares to touch Lux!"
Galen, who is fifteen years old this year, has already begun to show some of the power of Demacia. He is wearing a helmet and armor, leading the way, and behind him, all the cavalry are lined up in an arrow formation, lances in hand, already
Entered the impact posture!
The bright rune steel armor reflected the sun's rays in the morning light. This cavalry came through the smoke and dust. Every sound of horse hooves seemed to step on Cordora's heart!
Even the guards who were loyal to Cordora could no longer face Lux with their spears at this time. They could only turn around and try to protect their master and leave - at this time, they only hoped that the farmland could delay the attack a little.
Improve the speed of these cavalry and make them run a few more steps.
Then, before they could go far, another army blocked the way in another direction.
The blue Dauntless Vanguard battle flag was raised high, and the emblem of the two-winged sword fluttered in the wind.
Under the flag, the deputy marshal of the Fearless Vanguard, Tiana Crownguard, was riding a war horse, slowly approaching.
This always serious lady couldn't help but reveal a smile - the child Lux has really grown up a lot, and it's not in vain that she made this trip just for her.
……………………
The situation took a shocking turn in the blink of an eye.
It was not until Tiana and Galen appeared that the other nobles truly realized that from beginning to end, everything in Mithril City was under Lux's control.
Thinking of her "occasionally feeling cold" before, waves of uncontrollable coldness came out of everyone's heart.
This...is this really a twelve-year-old girl?
At this time, Cordora finally realized that the situation was over, and in the end he could only surrender in despair - there was no point in continuing to struggle. If he gave up resistance at this time, he might be able to preserve the last bit of noble dignity.
Even if it looks like dignity.
Dili, who was originally prepared for battle, was dumbfounded as he watched the changes in the situation, feeling as if he had entered a circus and was playing a clown.
But...that's not important anymore.
Even though Lux really didn't need her very much and she didn't play any substantial role, at least she was on the right team and performed well.
At least it's better than other idiots who sit on the fence.
Especially when Tiana came to him, nodded to him and praised him "not bad".
Hehe, when the general ledger is being calculated later, I must be the one responsible for ransacking homes and collecting debts!
As long as you draw some oil from it, you can go to the capital of Demacia and gain a foothold there!
However, just when he thought he was going to become Lux's next right-hand man, Lux's order flashed to his waist.
"Led by Cordora Crownguard, a group of people lied about disasters and concealed taxes. They are unforgivable for the country and the family."
"The surname of Cordora Crownguard will be revoked immediately. The specific culpability will be dealt with in accordance with the national law, and the punishment will be canonical."
"The rest of the people will be punished according to the degree of conspiracy and the amount of taxes. Cullen will also count them together."
"The common people do not know the inside story, so the land taxes for the past three years have been cleared and will no longer be pursued."
"In addition, Miyin City is located near the northern border, and there are often military affairs and disasters. In order to prevent this from happening again, we have set up four disaster patrol knights. Regardless of their origins, they need to be familiar with farming, be in charge of reporting disaster situations, and provide some energy to help farmers.
, the status is regarded as a knight under the Crown Guard family."
After announcing all this, Lux led the white horse in front of Dili, and then introduced it to Tiana with a smile.
"This Mr. Dili is very skilled. Auntie must find him a good job in the army!"
After hearing this, Di Li was finally stunned.
Although he reacted quickly and put on a look of tears of gratitude, he almost burst into tears in his heart - he had worked so hard for so long, but he just didn't want to fight on the battlefield anymore. Why was he crawling around, and crawling at all?
Back in the military!
It's a pity that no matter from which angle you look at it, Lacus is already quite hostile to him. Faced with Lacus's recommendation, even if he is not happy with it, he can only thank him profusely at this time.
And when he was grateful and turned to leave, Cordola on the other side was also tied up tightly. Although the old man was extremely depressed, he burst out laughing when he saw Dili.
"You are very capable, Dili. You are better at observing people's emotions!" Cordola's laughter was full of uncontrollable joy. "What a pity, I still have to go back to the army! Do you think you can cling to high branches?"
Stop dreaming! It’s impossible for you and that bastard of yours!”
"Mr. Cordola." After hearing this, Di Li, who was already in an extremely unhappy mood, simply moved closer to Cordola, lowered his voice and snorted disdainfully, "I may be able to cling to high branches, but you obviously misunderstood something.
, I did not ask Gao Kan to pursue your idiot granddaughter - she is not worthy of my precious son. In fact, he spent a lot of effort to get rid of that idiot! "
"……What did you say?!"
"Thank you for locking her up." Di Li smacked his lips, "Gaokan also asked me to thank you for this matter - Gaokan and I always say that like father, like son, I think
You and your granddaughter, like a father, like a grandson!"
The smile froze on his face. At this moment, Kodola, who had been hit one after another and lost his only bit of happiness, finally became so angry that he couldn't hold it anymore. He rolled his eyes, leaned back, and fainted on the spot.
passed.
The condition of other nobles is not much better.
Many people had their legs trembling and could no longer control their sphincter muscles, so the city defense army had to send people to carry them away.
"I hugged you when I was little!"
"I was the one who introduced Peter and Ogesha to be together -"
"I really don't know about Cordora's collusion with the mage!"
"Uuuuuuuuh, I didn't even get any money!"
"..."
"..."
As the center of all storms, Lux has no interest in the intrigues between these nobles.
After finishing almost everything, she took out a clean handkerchief from her waist and gave it to the little girl Ino.
"Wipe your face."
Ino took the handkerchief and wiped her face - then, the tears on the handkerchief quickly froze. It was obvious that she could no longer control her magic power.
Upon seeing this, the demon searcher strode forward and handcuffed Enoch directly with the magic stone chain.
"Don't be nervous." Lark took the handkerchief from Ino's hand without any care, and then put it to her ear, "I will visit you in prison after a while... The soup your mother makes is very good.
It's delicious, but a little salty - don't worry, I didn't tell anyone, they'll be fine."
After saying that, Lux waved to her, blinked her left eye, and then showed a big smile.
(?≧???)??
During the entire process, Lux did not use magic.
But Ino felt as if he had seen light.
"Thank you, Miss Laxana..."
