"Are you ready to be promoted next?" Ms. Bearded asked Chai Anping on the way back to Pompeii.
"No……"
Upon hearing this, Chai Anping smiled bitterly and replied: "I'm afraid I need to tell Lux some things first."
Compared to the improvement of her magic power, after she wakes up, she will definitely regret that she could not know the news earlier.
"Hmph... I can no longer understand young people today."
Ms. Beard ducked and disappeared first. In fact, it was not just Chai Anping. Even Ou Chen, the old friend, couldn't quite understand it!
Can the law, the foundation of one's life, be so arbitrary?
He, Naga Kapoulos, has no feelings.
Chai Anping came to the library in Pompeii and gently woke up Lux.
"Um... Gracie? Did I fall asleep, hehe..."
Seeing the girl's innocent appearance, Chai Anping sighed secretly.
He carried Lacus and moved back to their residence, and Lacus could see Chai Anping's heavy emotions at a glance.
She asked anxiously: "...What's wrong, Gracie?"
"Lux, there is one thing I must tell you. You need to adjust your mood first and don't be anxious." Chai Anping hugged her, gently stroked her hair, and said in a gentle voice: "Demacia was attacked by the protoss.
There were heavy casualties and many people lost their news.”
The soft words in Lux's ears were like a thunderclap. The girl subconsciously grabbed the corner of Chai Anping's clothes: "You are kidding, aren't you, Gracie?"
Chai Anping comforted Lux's back: "Don't worry, I have been to Demacia before and helped alleviate the crisis in Demacia..."
Lux broke away from Chai Anping's arms, her eyes stared closely at Chai Anping, and then gradually became filled with tears.
She looked at Chai Anping's equally sad eyebrows and bit her lips tightly to prevent her crying from overflowing: "You know who died, right?"
The girl stretched out her fingers and gently pressed Chai Anping's eyebrows. Her fingertips were cold to her heart. She suddenly thought of a name and asked tentatively: "Sir William?"
Chai Anping held her outstretched hand and sent a touch of warmth to Lux with his palm.
Lux confirmed the answer to the question from Chai Anping's subtle reaction, and tears suddenly burst out silently.
She hugged him again and pressed her forehead against Chai Anping's: "Sir William is actually...your grandfather."
"I already knew it."
The two hugged each other and endured the sad news together.
Chai Anping, who has always put the overall situation first in the outside world, now did not hide his soft side in front of Lacus.
"Gracie, let's go back to Demacia."
Chai Anping held the girl's cheek, kissed her tears away, and held her cold little hand.
"good."
…
After sensing that Chai Anping and Lux disappeared from Pompeii, there was one more thing that Ms. Beard could not understand.
Chai Anping is undoubtedly one of the top targets of the Star Spirits, and even after Ou Chen is successfully plotted, this "one" can be removed!
As long as Chai Anping and the others stay in the fifth depth, there is nothing the protoss can do against them. Barcelona's next plan will definitely take time to brew, but once the two of them return to the living world and are discovered by the protoss, they are destined to be dead again.
A bloody storm.
Ou Chen has no ability to go out and help Chai Anping anymore!
And if they don't appear, the country that was angered by the protoss will not be targeted by the protoss again, but if they reappear, Naga Kapoulos can guarantee that Demacia will definitely suffer disaster!
Chai Anping is not a fool, why would he return to Demacia knowing the risks?
The bearded lady was holding a blank book in her hands and was lost in thought.
…
Chai Anping and Lux hid in their cloaks and quietly returned to the world.
In fact, from Chai Anping's point of view, the danger of them returning to the present world is really not that great, because even he himself could not imagine that they would return to the present world inexplicably, let alone the stars.
After learning the news of Demacia's disaster, it was impossible for Lux to remain indifferent. Otherwise, why didn't another noble lady become the "Flower of Demacia" praised by everyone?
Appearance is only a poor judge after all, and Lux's pure and hot heart is the real reason why people love her.
Before Lux returned to the real world, she specifically proposed to Chai Anping because she and Chai Anping were no longer separated from each other, so she wanted to gain Chai Anping's understanding and support.
Of course Chai Anping has no reason to refuse!
The two rushed to Silver City first. Lux's parents and most of the blood relatives of the Crownguard family all lived in this mountain city.
More than half of the mountain carrying Silver City has collapsed, and some houses have been buried by rocks. On the broken cliff, there is a temporary wooden plank road, and at the bottom of the plank road, there are patches of tents placed on the flat open space.
After the disaster, the residents of Silver City settled down again. There were many boxes for storing luggage scattered around the tent. Not far from the tent, a large group of people gathered to say goodbye to their relatives who died in the disaster.
The heavy singing spread across the wilderness, and the white flag swayed slightly in the wind, just like the last wave of a dead relative to the living.
Lux hurried over.
"Father! Mother!"
"...Lux?"
"Thank God you're okay, my daughter."
Lux suddenly hugged a middle-aged couple in the crowd and cried wantonly.
Chai Anping was standing outside the crowd, watching this scene quietly. In fact, he had already taken the lead in using magic to detect it, and confirmed the fact that his parents were alive earlier than Lux. However, seeing this scene, he still felt a little lucky.
Along the way, neither of them dared to imagine that Lux's parents also died in the disaster.
Lux's arrival did not interrupt the ceremony of remembering the deceased relatives. They left the crowd and shared the joy of life after the disaster while also conveying the sad news of death.
As the headquarters of the Crown Guard family, Silver City is home to many direct bloodlines of the Crown Guard family. In this disaster, nearly one-third of even the direct bloodline died!
All the cousins with whom Lux had a close relationship when she was young were killed in the disaster.
From the mouths of the two old men, Chai Anping and Lux also unexpectedly heard news about the Fearless Pioneers and Galen.
When the disaster occurred, the Pioneer Regiment, which was performing missions at the border, was attacked by a protoss. Under the leadership of Galen, the Pioneer Regiment launched a brazen charge towards the protoss.
Galen and his "personal bodyguards" entangled this star spirit for a long time at the cost of serious injuries. This was one of the important reasons why Silver City was not completely destroyed.
In other words, under the desperate charge of the Fearless Pioneers, the damage to Demacia towns in this direction was within the acceptable range!
Later, I don’t know what happened, but this star spirit suddenly left on his own.
"Brother, he...!" Lux was immediately worried about Galen's injury.
"Your brother returned to Silver City to treat his injuries. After leaving some fearless vanguard soldiers behind, he rushed to Xiongdu with his people."
Chai Anping was thoughtful after hearing this, but he didn't expect that his action would indirectly save Galen and Catalina.
That’s right, what Galen is carrying now is the ominous blade that abandoned everything after the country’s fall and chose to follow him!
