Perhaps he was tired from talking for a long day, or perhaps he was not in a very calm mood. Kalya was quite silent at the dinner.
And because Peter didn't come back for dinner, Lux didn't need to show her ladylike side, so she didn't pay much attention and focused on her brother.
Different from the energetic appearance when he woke up in the morning, Galen now can be said to be quite sluggish.
His dark blond short hair was messy, lying on his head like weeds. Although he seemed to have taken a shower, he still gave people a dirty look.
Now, Galen no longer talks about joining the army, he just keeps gobbling down food - obviously he is starving!
Under Lux's stunned gaze, Galen ate five whole ribs, then leaned back and completely collapsed on his seat.
The originally flat belly was now visibly bulging. Galen, who had eaten a lot, was burping, looking like he was "finally alive", while Ogesha, who usually hated his lack of etiquette, just smiled.
Look at him, and then from time to time pick up a piece of salad with a fork and put it in your mouth.
Obviously, Galen was really exhausted.
"It seems that my brother's training... is not bad?" Lux said with a subtle expression, "It's just a bit too tiring?"
"I feel like I'm about to die." Galen rolled his eyes, "Lux, my dear sister, you have never experienced this kind of thing, you can't even imagine it!"
"Okay, you still have the energy to complain. It seems that today's training is not that heavy." Ogesha interrupted Galen, "Now, you'd better go for a walk in the garden, and then go to your own
Take a good bath in the bathroom and go back to bed early to rest - if you want to become a qualified soldier, this is just the beginning!"
"Okay, Mom." Galen winked at his sister, "No problem, I will go for a walk now, then take a bath and sleep. Don't worry, this level of training is not a problem!"
As he said that, he stood up neatly, then picked up his sword from somewhere and raised it high with the scabbard.
"Rush, for Demacia!"
Lux blinked when she saw this scene - if it were before, she might have thought her brother was cool and felt envious of him.
But at this moment, for some reason, Lux just felt very... well, ashamed.
Lux herself didn't realize that some of her perceptions had already been changed after just two days of contact with Kalya.
In other words, this kind of change is part of growth, isn't it?
……………………
Maybe it was because she saw magic with her own eyes today, or maybe it was because the stories she heard before were a little too exciting. When Lux returned to the bedroom, she tossed and turned and still couldn't fall asleep.
In the stories she had heard, the princess was often the one who was saved, but Setaka was different from those vase-like heroines, she was a truly brave warrior.
The last time Lux heard a similar story was the legend of the Winged Sisters - in that story, the Winged Sisters inspired the first ancestors of Demacia and established this great country.
From that time on, Lux longed to become a hero of Demacia like the Winged Sisters.
And today, she heard another story. Setaka's story seemed to open a door for her. She was not a winged sister soaring in the sky, but a poor and impoverished warrior with nothing. But even so, she still
He used his fists and teeth, and used sticks and stones to defeat his enemies. Thinking of these stories, Lux couldn't help but be fascinated, and as a result, she couldn't sleep even more.
In desperation, she could only put her hand out of the quilt, and then held her sword again.
"Karya, tell me another story about Setaka."
In the low-power state, Kalya, who was carefully preparing for lessons, never expected that it was almost midnight, and Lux suddenly wanted to listen to a story.
You are nine years old, not three!
Although he was happy to tell the little girl about the valiant and heroic appearance of the eldest sister back then, considering that Lux had to go to class tomorrow and his lesson plan was still a little behind, he still rejected Lux's request.
"If you want to listen to a story, then listen to the class carefully tomorrow and pass the test in the evening self-study. I will slowly tell you a story during the review time."
"But I can't sleep." Lux pouted, "This is all your fault - when I close my eyes now, all I see is the yellow desert sea, the endless sea of khalisai..."
"But Halise?" Kalya hesitated, "I don't think I told you about this place."
"Maybe I saw this place name in some travel book." Lux yawned, "Well, I really want to see the desert with my own eyes - see the place where Setaka fought...
"
"There will be a chance." Karya paused for a moment, then seemed to have figured out something, and her tone gradually became gentler, "Okay, little girl, there is no more story, let me sing a song for you... Just sing the psalm.
Taka’s favorite Shurima tune.”
"Shurima minor? I haven't heard it." Lux lay flat on the bed and buried her head deeply in the pillow. "I have only listened to Demacia music - hymns, concertos, symphonies and so on.
, what is the Shurima ditty?”
"Folk Songs in the Desert."
Desert folk songs?
The next moment, Lux closed her eyes, and Kalya's low singing voice appeared in her ears.
?The Shurima River flows quietly?Flowing in the direction of the oasis?
?Shurima people walk barefoot? Walking on the shore under the night?
?The city of Shurima is not far away? In the distance is the sparkling night?
?I raised my head and looked downstream? Looking at the lights and candlelight in my dream?
?I leaned over and took a big sip? Sipping the fragrance like breast milk?
…
?The Shurima River flows quietly?Flowing high in the starry sky?
?The Shurima people took up the spear? The spear protects the health of the family?
?The high walls of the city of Shurima? The walls are the arms of Shurima?
?I fight at her breast?Fight on every line of the epic?
?I sleep in her arms? Sleep in the golden wheat waves of the oasis?
…
…
Lux couldn't understand Shurima, but she could hear an incomparable vastness from Kalya's singing.
With her eyes closed, Lux felt as if she were really in the desert, under the stars, as if she were really following the footsteps of the Shurima people, walking on the banks of the Shurima River.
Kalya's low singing voice was like the never-ending river water, carrying Lux's thoughts and she finally fell asleep.
……………………
The extremely smooth flow of magic power proved that Lux had finally fallen asleep.
The little girl seemed to be very insecure, and she would not let go of Kalya even when she was sleeping.
Kalya, who stopped singing, didn't care about this. In comparison, what he cared about more was a small detail in the previous conversation between Lux and himself.
He remembered correctly, Lux mentioned Kehalise.
Although Lux said that she might have seen this place name in some book, Kalya did not think that any travel book would record the story of Khalisei.
Because Halise is a vast desert located in the southeast of Shurima. It is a true restricted area of life. Because it is close to Icathia, there are still a large number of void creatures active there to this day.
Kalya didn't know what the specific situation was in Halise, but he dared to say that no one—not even an explorer—would choose to go anywhere without returning completely and leaving behind a travel diary.
Therefore, Lux definitely did not see this place name in any travel book.
As for whether Kalya mentioned Kehalise when telling the story...this is even more impossible.
But Halise is the place where Setaka fell, and it is also the place where Kalya is sad. Even the strong Kalya will not mention his wounds that will never heal for no reason.
Therefore, he would not tell Lacus about that place - not to mention that most of Setaka's stories did not happen in Kharisai, even if they did happen there, Kalya would not tell them.
So, here comes the question, why did Lux know and subconsciously mention Khalisei?
This is a question that makes Kalya's hair stand on end, because in Runeterra, seeing things you haven't seen before and hearing things you haven't heard are not a good sign.
In Icacia, a group of people also saw a world they had never seen before, and the name of that world was [The Land of the Void].
In Freljord, someone also heard the voice of a powerful will that she had never heard before, and the owner of this will was named [Void Watcher].
Of course, Lacus's situation should not be so bad. In Kalya's opinion, this situation is most likely due to her own fault - including Lacus's mental stress and fatigue today, as well as this kind of memory rubbing.
The situation is all due to the demonstration I gave in the morning.
Even if he didn't use Lux's magic power, even if he just borrowed her body temporarily, his influence would inevitably remain on her body.
In short, whether it was Void's gaze that focused on Lux, or his own memory affected this poor little girl, in order to avoid this situation happening again, he might no longer be able to control Lux's body to perform any spell-casting operations.
And this also means that Kalya needs to change part of his teaching plan and make his plan more cautious and cautious, so as not to let Lux lose any control.
Once her spell goes out of control, Karya must take over control of her body and then forcibly terminate the spell, which may cause unnecessary danger.
Even more troublesome than losing control of the spell itself.
Gee, that's really bad.
Kalya smacked his lips mockingly - it seemed that he had become a stick-shaped source of pollution. It was okay for Lux to recharge herself and share some of her senses with herself, but as long as she did something to Lux, she would be in trouble.
.
It feels really unpleasant to have to accept data and energy unilaterally!
……………………
When she woke up the next morning, Lux, who was in excellent spirits, heard two pieces of news.
A good news and a bad news.
The good news is that the intensity of the "cramming-style teaching" she will receive will be reduced. Karya has refined the teaching plan and plans to arrange six hours of study for her every day in the form of three-quarters of an hour of study and a quarter-of-an-hour break.
.
The bad news is that in addition to the original "cramming-style teaching", Kalya has advanced her physical training courses in order to allow Lux to learn more safely.
In other words, in addition to six classes of regular study, review of evening self-study, and correction of wrong questions in morning self-study, Lux also has to do physical exercise for four classes.
"After all, I am a sword." Faced with Lux's question, Kalya explained, "If you don't know any swordsmanship, wouldn't it be a bit strange to wear a sword all the time?"
"But... I can learn swordsmanship from my aunt Tiana!" It's not that Lux looks down on Kalya, but in her understanding, her aunt is a better training instructor. "She is a fearless pioneer.
The first female commander-in-chief!”
"Perhaps this is a great achievement, but believe me, one's own swordsmanship level and the level of teaching others swordsmanship are never directly related."
"Really?" Lux was still doubtful, "If your swordsmanship is not good enough, how can you teach others well?"
"That's because people with enough swordsmanship will often use their own talents to look at others," Kalya sighed, "Such people cannot be good teachers at all."
Speaking of this, Kalya remembered the days when Aatrox was a substitute teacher at Shurima University.
Aatrox is a swordsman genius rarely seen in Shurima for thousands of years.
But this guy's teaching method has always been "raise the sword first, then move the center of gravity, follow the sword's momentum, and strike at the weak point of the enemy's defense - and that's it."
Then, this swordsman genius took that class of students and failed all the epee courses - they practiced according to Aatrox's method honestly, but the result of their practice was a mess.
Geniuses' ideas cannot be followed by ordinary people, so if geniuses teach people with average talents, the results are often not very good. Their talents are their learning methods, and this method is often unreplicable.
In Kalya's view, Lux's swordsmanship talent should not be too genius, so instead of letting her learn from Tiana, who is more professional, it is better to do it herself.
After all, you are the professional when it comes to teaching students!
In the end, Kalya succeeded in convincing Lacus - and his method of persuading Lacus was also very simple. He assured Lacus that even though Galen was as tired as a dog every day, three years later, he was better in swordsmanship.
I am absolutely no match for you!
After hearing that she could beat her brother, Lux finally had no worries and happily accepted Kalya's teachings.
Lux was very happy to get the promise. Even at the breakfast table, Lux always had a smile on her face when she looked at Galen.
Unfortunately, this smile seemed to Galen to be his sister's encouragement to him - so, after chewing three beef ribs in one go, he raised his sword again.
"Come on! For Demacia - don't worry, Lux, I will not lose to His Highness the Prince, your brother is the best!"
Tsk tsk tsk...
Poor Galen has not yet realized that his brother's family status is likely to become "family brother status"!
It's good now, the Crownguard family...is rolled up!
