Lalumuur was still a very prestigious old hunter and the president of the Hunters Guild, but as Lux directly began to recruit soldiers among the hunters, it seemed that he had lost most of his power in an instant.
After all, even without Lux, all Laliumur has is the right to recommend. It is General Robles who really makes the final decision on who can become a regular member - but this power was once given to Laliumur as an agent, and now
It was just recycled directly.
After all this trouble, the lives of the Forsbarrow hunters have not changed at all, but their uneasiness has gradually disappeared. On the one hand, this is because the weather is getting warmer and everyone is going to hunt in the mountains; on the other hand,
Because this year's recruitment selection is about to begin.
And this year, the person who conducted the recruit selection on behalf of Lux was none other than Miss Fiona Laurent, who took the initiative to leave the capital of Demacia and followed Lux all the way to the north.
……………………
Fiona not only helped Lux recruit troops, but she also came to Forsbarrow herself. Since both Lux and Ino were too busy, the only one who was a little free because they were responsible for the cultural field was Suo.
Na, so in the subsequent recruitment, Fiona was finally selected by Lux as the plenipotentiary representative.
Facing this appointment from Lux, Fiona was quite confident.
For ordinary nobles, it is unimaginable to leave the prosperous political center of Demacia and go alone to the vast and sparsely populated Forsbarrow.
But for Fiona, leaving the capital of Demacia made her feel that the air was fresher, and she was even more looking forward to her trip to Forsbarrow.
As early as when she was a little girl, Fiona showed her rebellious side. She did not like to be a lady according to Demacia's tradition, but wanted to express herself with swords. Look at the young Fiona.
Not as good as those who hold high positions but are mediocre and incompetent, and lack a sense of responsibility for the family.
Therefore, Fiona chose the most drastic method during the engagement ceremony with the embroidered pillow.
break off an engagement.
This big commotion caused quite a stir in the capital of Demacia. The most direct point is that because Gaokan is a member of the Crownguard family, according to Demacia tradition, Fiona's behavior is regarded as
Regarding the challenge from the Crownguard family, Lux, the representative of the Crownguard family who attended the engagement ceremony, launched a duel challenge without hesitation.
Facing Lux's duel challenge at that time, Fiona's feelings were very complicated. She didn't expect Lux to be so decisive, and she felt faintly that she was not worth it - even though Lux was the father of Sebastian who often
It was used to criticize Fiona as "other people's children", but in Fiona's view at the time, Lux was a person with "no self".
What kind of aristocratic model is just a person who abandons himself one by one according to the ancient classics!
In the capital of Demacia at that time, many people envied Lux, were jealous of Lux, and were even afraid of Lux, but only Fiona looked at Lux with an indescribable sympathy in her eyes.
This is a puppet bound by aristocratic etiquette!
However, all this knowledge was completely overturned by Fiona at the end of the duel.
The duel with Lux was not as complete as Fiona expected. From Fiona's perspective, Lux's basic skills were quite solid and she had obviously worked hard - she was just like those embroidered pillows.
People are indeed different.
If that was the case, then Fiona could only give Lux a high look and even feel pity for her. What really made her realize that Lux was extraordinary was when the then Illuminati bishop announced the "discovery of the oracle".
Lux gave up without hesitation.
Fiona never dreamed that in that case, Lux would decisively admit defeat and face the punishment of the stone crown.
At that moment, she put herself in Lux's shoes and realized that if she were Lux, she would never be able to accept failure calmly and calmly like Lux.
Facing Lux's choice, Fiona was surprised to find that she had only learned to win, not to lose.
That battle deeply touched Fiona, and she began to try to truly understand Lux. In the process of understanding, as she grew older, she gradually realized the family responsibilities she had to bear.
As the legitimate daughter of the Laurent family, Fiona finally realized that her family had provided tremendous help for her today's swordsmanship and achievements, but her previous willful choices had almost dragged the family into the abyss.
Since then, Fiona will still duel with others, but at the same time, she will also do some "less annoying" things for the sake of the family's reputation and interests, such as attending banquets and meeting bastards at the banquet.
Don't throw the cake in your opponent's face the first time, but propose a duel gracefully and calmly.
Of course, Fiona was still full of disgust for her father's policy of expanding influence through marriage.
Everyone is growing.
When Lux traveled across the ocean, she witnessed the birth of power for the first time in Zaun; when she and Ino crossed the Great Sai Desert together to admire the afterglow after the destruction of the Shurima Empire; when she climbed Mount Targon and faced the world of heaven.
At the time of her great power, Fiona also gradually lost her extremeness.
She still didn't like the red tape of the aristocracy, didn't like people who were vegetarians, and looked down upon mediocre people, but she learned to face her obligations and learned to control herself in return for her family.
During this period, Fiona often thought of Lux's calmness in admitting defeat.
That is another realm, an indescribable realm.
Then, in the third year after Lux left the capital of Demacia, Fiona touched this realm.
……………………
It was an ordinary summer morning when Fiona received news that sounded like nonsense.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Someone blocked a stone bridge outside the city and used it as a gladiatorial arena to challenge everyone who passed by."
Facing this news, Fiona's first reaction was "Where did such a stupid young man come from?"
Although it is somewhat funny that Fiona thinks that others are stupid, it is undeniable that even Fiona in her youth could not be capable of such childish provocation.
However, what Fiona never expected was that the second half of the news was that "a small group of family guards wanted to expel the guy who didn't know where he came from, but they were overthrown by a dozen and five, and the family was deceived."
shame".
In Demacia, fighting is not a good thing; but losing five against one is much worse than fighting.
Although the stone bridge is not a very prosperous place, it is also an important passage in the east of the city. The Laurent family's guards were beaten five times and five were counterattacked here. This incident is not a big disturbance.
.
Originally, Fiona didn't need to take action in this kind of thing, but she knew the guards who happened to be picked off, and they were all good players - she thought that even if she was one against five, she might not be able to pick them off easily.
So she was so happy to see the hunter that she decided to go out in person and go to the bridge outside the city.
On this stone bridge, Fiona saw a guy with his head hidden and his tail exposed. His clothes completely wrapped his body, and he wore a strange mask on his face. The whole person looked very strange.
When Fiona arrived at the scene, the guy was slowly peeling an egg. At a speed that even Fiona couldn't see clearly, he quickly opened his mask and put the peeled egg into his mouth.
While he was chewing, he was still mocking the guards who had been knocked over by him before and fell into the river under the bridge, and now they had just climbed ashore.
"Five of them can't beat one against one. Do you know how to fight?"
"One move is all it takes to deal with guys like you who have no skills at all!"
"Hello, fallen warriors! Would you like an egg to replenish your brain?"
"What are you looking at? Do you want to go down and cool down?"
"Or are you afraid of the cold? Are you afraid of falling into the water and freezing to death in this summer?"
"Laughing to death, warrior of Demacia, that's it?"
This guy's words are so mean that some people always get angry with him.
Then, with only three or five moves, the person who attacked him would be like a dumpling, being knocked out of the water by the unattractive-looking stick in his hand.
This guy who seems to be able to do anything with ease will not stop talking even in the middle of a fight.
"Strength, where's your strength? Are you using it to compete with breakfast?"
"Pace, pace, are you going to perform a flat fall?"
"The way you hold the dagger reminds me of a rookie cooking for the first time picking up a kitchen knife."
"What you have in your hand is a spear, not a fire stick!"
"It's best to try your skills with a wooden sword first."
"..."
"..."
However, what's interesting is that although this guy's tone is quite harsh, he really understands the problems of these guys. After speaking, he will send his opponents into the water without hesitation, and then start peeling and eating eggs all over again.
, taunting while eating.
After watching two battles, Fiona was finally itchy and eager to fight - without any hesitation, she came directly to the bridge.
"Here comes a guy who looks good." The other person stuffed an egg into his mouth again, "I hope he doesn't just look good."
"Fiona Laurent."
Fiona ignored the other party's words and continued to introduce herself.
"Finally someone who can speak human language - my name is Jax."
After announcing his home address, the other party rubbed his hands and quickly picked up his weapon.
It was something that looked like a long-handled lantern.
It seemed like she was just shaking the lantern pole irregularly, but Fiona instinctively felt a danger.
An indescribable pressure enveloped Fiona, as if she had been completely locked in by the other party and had nowhere to escape.
Fiona felt that her momentum was rapidly declining. She no longer maintained her preparedness and unsteady steps. Instead, she chose to thrust her sword horizontally, displayed the technique of advancing the fountain, and began to take the initiative to attack.
Fiona, who was light on her feet, was still as tall as a flying swallow even though she was on a stone bridge. The stabbing sword in her hand was like a bolt of lightning, pointing directly at Jax's chest with lightning speed.
Jax seemed to have no reaction to this. It wasn't until Fiona's blow turned from virtual to real, and there was no room for change, that he naturally raised the lantern pole as if he was simply stretching his body.
, blocked Fiona's blow.
The power of the lantern pole was neither too big nor too small. Fiona took advantage of the situation and sheathed her sword very naturally. At the same time, she changed her attack midway. The rapier slashed through a Z-shape and struck Jax's lower abdomen again.
Once again, Jax very naturally, as if juggling, turned the lantern pole in his hand in a circle, perfectly deflecting Fiona's attack.
Fiona's two moves seemed simple, as if they were just an ordinary thrust followed by two thrusts, but when they were actually used, only ten people from the entire Demacian hero could catch them.
However, Jax not only came through, he did it with ease.
In this case, Fiona didn't hesitate at all, she suddenly turned around and started attacking the opponent's side.
Without any surprise, her offensive was easily resolved again.
Twist again, stab again!
Get blocked again!
"What's your name, Fiona... Fiona knows two swords?"
There is no doubt that this is an irony. The irony is that only the two swords Fiona took are meaningful, and the others are just various repetitions of these two swords.
Although she knew she had to stay calm during the battle, Fiona still felt a surge of anger and blood. When she was watching, she only felt that this guy was very poisonous, but only when they actually fought did she know how poisonous he was!
Fiona is unhappy now because the two swords she started with are indeed the two moves she is most proud of. What this guy said is true!
Taking advantage of the opportunity of being swung away, Fiona retreated, gritted her teeth, stepped directly on the fence of the stone bridge, and jumped into the air.
"No one has taught you, don't lose your leverage rashly——"
Jax's taunting came again, but this time it stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence, because he suddenly discovered that Fiona was not jumping rashly!
After leaving the ground, every thrust by Fiona reached Jax's vitals, forcing Jax to block; and every block by Jax would become the motivation for Fiona to leap again.
Sword Dance Waltz!
This wonderful attack posture gave Fiona a broader attack space and an amazing offensive that did not require extraordinary physical strength, so that Jax could only withdraw his evaluation and concentrate on dealing with it.
Last time, Fiona, who had just mastered this tactic, had her swords broken during the duel.
But this time, after some training, Fiona's understanding of this move and her proficiency in this move are far better than before.
However, just such a sword dance waltz, Jax was able to handle it completely. In his hand, that ordinary-looking lantern pole was like a large shield, perfectly dealing with Fiona's entire offensive!
When the song ended, Fiona's body fell to the ground.
Although her body was a little sore, she still instinctively wanted to leap up again - it was at this moment that she remembered the previous duel, the time when Lux gave up calmly.
So, she sheathed her sword and stood up, with the blade pointed downward, assuming the posture of a loser.
Faced with Fiona's reaction, Jax laughed out loud for the first time.
Afterwards, Jax, whose life experience remains a mystery, chatted a lot with Fiona.
It was this conversation that made Fiona make up her mind to withdraw from the whirlpool of the nobility, and really started to think about leaving the capital.
