Riding on a bumpy horse and looking at the towering city walls of Demacia's capital in the distance, Dili breathed a sigh of relief.
The weather in Demacia's capital city in August is frighteningly hot.
Different from Di Li's hometown, Miyin City, which has a high terrain and a cool climate, the sea breeze here is humid and hot. Under the sunlight, it seems that as long as you move casually, you will break out in sweat.
In this damn weather, as the captain of a small team and responsible for escorting, Di Li must also wear a full set of armor in accordance with regulations.
Even though the set of rune steel armor he was wearing at this time was of high quality, light and strong, as the horse jolted, Di Li could still clearly feel the heat coming from the gaps in the breastplate under his neck.
.
The moist and hot air hit his sparse stubble, almost causing water droplets to condense and drip down.
Reaching out to wipe the wet stubble on his chin, Di Li tried to take a deep breath with all his strength, expelling all the hot air from the armor, and then inhaled the relatively cooler air.
The exchange of gases lifted Di Li's spirit. While controlling the reins, he made his mount move to the right along the avenue. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the big man walking beside him.
"Special Envoy Arzhen." Dili said in a businesslike tone, "We will arrive in the capital soon."
"It's really not easy." The big man Arzhen nodded after hearing this, "It's such a hot day... It's really hard on you."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Di Li shook his head, and then reminded him seriously, "According to regulations, I need to emphasize the stone agreement again. The city walls of Xiongdu are made of forbidden magic stones. If you don't control the
Your talent may cause some unnecessary problems."
"It's understandable." Alzhen grinned, with a look of indifference, "This is not the first time I've come here, and besides, there are demon seekers in your team... Nokomo
Something happened to Grand Duke Qi’s favorite son, and everyone’s nerves were very nervous.”
Dili nodded slightly, but didn't say much - the son of Grand Duke Nocmooch was killed by unknown persons in the guild hall of the capital of Demacia. Although Jarvan III reacted immediately, with a serious expression.
While investigating the murderer, Taric, the newly famous Shield of Demacia, was exiled, but the ripples caused by this incident have not subsided.
The Valoran Mutual Aid Alliance was finished. Demacia, which had been so popular at the tournament, was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. However, the entire kingdom failed to find the murderer despite all their efforts...
Although he was only a squad leader of the Fifth Legion, Dili could well imagine how much diplomatic pressure Demacia's capital would be facing at this time.
As long as Jarvan III still wants to achieve success in the diplomatic field, he must find a way to completely solve this matter - in addition to punishing the person responsible, he must also catch the murderer.
But the question is, how can the murderer be so easy to catch?
Ordinary investigation methods were used over and over, but there were almost no useful clues at all. The murderer seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air, leaving no evidence at all - if it weren't for Demacia, there would be absolutely no reason to do this.
I'm afraid even Jarvan III will fall into self-doubt.
Even because the circumstances of the case were too special and the methods of committing the crime were too cruel, it was difficult to find a scapegoat. Grand Duke Nocmooch had been in a state of hysteria.
Under this circumstance, the person in charge of the demon seekers made a secret report to Jarvan III. The content of the report was unknown. However, after the report, a special team composed of demon seekers and soldiers of the Fifth Legion was recruited.
He was transferred to the border to meet Abermac's envoy.
As the person in charge of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, after receiving the news, Dili thought this was the beginning of his promotion. However, after meeting the messenger, he realized that he was involved in a trouble.
among.
The reason is simple. This special envoy is a true mage.
To be precise, this envoy named Argen is not only a real mage, but also the chief mage of Abermark!
You know, due to the issue of forbidden magic, when conducting diplomatic matters in Demacia, external envoys are usually not allowed to be spell casters. But this time, to welcome the arrival of a mage envoy... I am afraid that the only possibility is
We have to deal with the murder case that happened in Xiongdu.
After realizing that he was involved in this case, Di Li felt a headache on the spot.
Even if you don't consider how unlucky it is for Taric to be thrown to climb Mount Targon because of this incident, this case involves too many things - whether it is the diplomacy of various principalities or the activities of mages in the capital of Demacia
, none of which Dili is unwilling to stick to.
Back then, after a lot of trouble from Lux, although Dili was not bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, at least he finally had a clearer understanding of the fact that he was a nobody.
Clinging is not a problem. The problem is that in this kind of big-shot game, it is difficult for a small person to take care of the overall situation. Clinging rashly is a big gamble.
Even if you are just gaining seniority in the army, it is better than being involved in this kind of trouble!
Di Li, who had learned a lesson, could not cling to him as rashly as before. After learning about his mission, he finally chose to go about business honestly, without any personal purpose, and strived to finish the work quickly and get out as soon as possible.
.
Thank God, everything has been smooth sailing along the way.
Mr. Arzhen indeed followed Shi Yue's requirements and was under the supervision of the demon seekers throughout the entire process, and never used the power of magic.
Next, as long as Mr. Argen is sent to the capital of Demacia and checked into the embassy, his dangerous escort mission will be successfully completed!
Even though he didn't have a relationship with the demon searcher who was traveling with him, Dili still felt that this trip was very satisfying.

Soon, Dili led the team to the east gate of the capital of Demacia.
It was evening, and there were many people queuing up to enter the city. Demacia's summer trade was coming to an end. It was now the time for caravans from all over the country to leave the capital of Demacia and return to their hometowns. Even the guards guarding foreign envoys, this time
Sometimes I need to line up honestly outside the door.
The waiting process was a bit long. Argen simply dismounted, ran to the team searching for demons at the back, and told some colorful jokes - I don't know what the mage's brain circuit was thinking, but he actually thought
Di Li was dumbfounded when he saw how he wanted to have a relationship with the demon searcher.
Shaking his head, Di Li ignored this guy, but took the initiative to restrain the soldiers in his squad and lined up obediently.
Although some of the soldiers did not quite understand Di Li's thoughts and wanted to hear those dirty jokes, they finally followed Di Li's request and gathered near the city gate, waiting to line up to enter the city.
Then, just as Di Li finished forming his team and was slightly relieved, he saw a familiar face in the queue of pedestrians entering the city.
This is a beautiful young girl. She has long, smooth golden hair and a pair of blue eyes shining brightly in the sunset. Although she is only wearing simple clothes without any extra decoration, she is confident from the inside out.
Her temperament always makes people think that she is either rich or noble.
When he saw this girl for the first time, Di Li thought she looked familiar, but after much thought, he couldn't remember her identity - he clearly didn't know her!
Di Li, who was a little confused, couldn't help but look at the other person carefully, but the more he looked at her, the more he became convinced that he had indeed never seen her before.
So where does this subtle sense of familiarity come from?
As if sensing Di Li's gaze, the other party quickly turned his head.
After looking Di Li up and down, she seemed to quickly recognize Di Li's identity. She couldn't help but smile, holding a sword, and waved to Di Li.
Di Li subconsciously wanted to nod politely, but when he saw the sword in the opponent's hand, the nodding movement suddenly stopped.
His eyes seemed to be attracted, and they were firmly fixed on the guard of the sword, and on the exquisite Crown Guard crest.
At this moment, he finally realized the identity of the other party, and finally understood why he only felt familiar when looking at the other party, but could not remember the identity of the other party...
She is the eldest lady of the Crownguard family, Laxana Crownguard!
Dili's eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected that Miss Laxana would actually return to Demacia and even come to the capital of Demacia!
Didn't she bear the punishment of the stone crown?
Return to Demacia at this time, return to the capital of Demacia... If someone discovers it, she may not be the only one who is unlucky, but the entire Crown Guard family will also have big problems!
How dare she?
Moreover, even if she really comes back, she shouldn't appear carefree on the street at this time, right?
Do you really think no one in Demacia recognizes her identity?
You know, as a family deeply trusted by the king, the Crownguard family has always been the jealous object of many nobles. If possible, many people are very happy to cause some trouble for the Crownguard family...
To put it bluntly, Laxana's return to the capital of Demacia at this time is simply going to drag the entire Crownguard family into the abyss!
Although he was tricked once by Lux, as a member of the Crown Guard family, Dili's first reaction was still to find a way to cover.
No, we can't let her be discovered!
With a thought in his mind, Dili asked the soldiers to wait in line, and at the same time, he temporarily left the team on the pretext of internal distress - he had to persuade Miss Laxana not to be so reckless.
However, just after leaving the reckless team, a slightly refreshing breeze blew, and Dili's heated brain quickly cooled down.
No, something's wrong.
This Miss Laxana is not a simple character. Dili, who has personally experienced the Mithril City incident and the duel incident, knows this very well.
She is showing up here so arrogantly now, it is absolutely impossible for her to be unprepared and hot-headed!
Yes, she must have her own ideas and plans...
Although Dili didn't know what Laxana relied on, he still stopped walking towards Lax and turned around to the outside of the city, as if he really planned to find a place for convenience.
Calm down, Dili, calm down. This kind of thing is not something you can participate in casually. Before you understand the whole situation, acting rashly will only cause trouble - you don't need to gamble anymore!
In this way, while trying hard to calm down his mood, Dili went to the outside of the city to "solve his physical problems".
When he returned to the team with an anxious mood, it was their turn to enter the city.
"Oh, Dili, you're finally back." Arzhen winked and said to him, "Although people have no choice but to do it when they reach middle age, don't you do it too often?"
When the young soldiers under Di Li heard this, although they couldn't laugh out loud directly, they still winked at each other in a playful manner - obviously, for them, teasing their superiors was something they always enjoyed.
I can't make fun of myself, but the messenger can be so unscrupulous. It's really interesting.
After hearing Arzhen's words, Dili's face turned darker obviously.
However, he did not open his mouth to tell the difference, but snorted angrily, as if he was angry, pushed away the soldiers, strode to the front of the team, held his horse, and began to communicate with the soldiers guarding the city.
, show the official documents and prepare to enter the city.
During this process, although Di Li kept his head lowered, he kept looking around with the corner of his eyes.
Seeing that he no longer saw Lux's figure, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe she was picked up by a special person, and the behavior of greeting her before was just a test?
Recalling Lux's previous performance in Misilver City, Dili felt a little uneasy in his heart.
I hope I passed Miss Laxana’s test...
But what exactly is she testing this time?
Also, why did she choose to return to the capital of Demacia at this time?
Di Li, who was full of doubts, finally came to the soldiers guarding the city, showed them the documents for entering the city, and led them to start counting the number of people in the team.
After confirming that everything was correct, the team finally started again and slowly entered the capital of Demacia.
Then, just as the team entered the city gate, Arzhen, who was leading the horse, crossed the crowd and came to Dili, who was also leading the horse.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dili, I don't mean any harm." Arzhen put on a sincere look and said to him, "I was just joking..."
The soldiers who had raised their ears before heard Arzhen's apology showed expressions of "that's it" on their faces.
However, what they didn't know was that after Arzhen apologized, he also whispered something to Dili that made him almost unable to suppress his emotions.
"When I entered the city just now, I discovered a powerful spellcaster." This time, Arzhen's tone no longer meant to be teasing, "She seemed to have waved to you... Mr. Dili, do you know her?"
