Chapter 495 Rangers

Several barbarian soldiers chattered and chattered in a Freljord dialect that Lux could not understand. Their expressions were fierce and casual, as if they had already decided that Lux could not escape.

Lacus turned pale with fright. She never dared to imagine that barbarian bandits appeared near her home. Has the border been lost?Why hadn't her mother said anything about it at all?

You must know that although Mithril City is close to the border of Demacia, the area it borders is controlled by the Avarosa people. There are few conflicts between the two and there are trade exchanges between them.The barbarian raiders are generally warriors from Winter's Claw, and they must pass through the two lines of defense of Avarosa and the border guards if they want to reach Mithril City.From Lux's point of view, this is impossible, unless they discover some secret smuggling route, which is very scary.

But the fact was right in front of her eyes, Lacus could even smell their stench.One of the men came towards her with a thick hemp rope, grabbing her hand involuntarily.

Lux broke free from the opponent's hand, and raised her fist to punch him on the chin.The opponent cursed and fought back, and the disparity in strength caused her to be thrown to the ground directly.Before she got up, the man half-kneeled down on her back, and tightly wrapped the rough hemp rope around her wrist.

"Let go of me! You bandits!"

With her chin sunk into the dirt and her hair hanging down to block her view, Lux was furious.Her homeland is being violated, and no one can save her, so she must use magic reasonably to tide over the difficulties.

"Jeep!"

The poro yelled at the marauder, who laughed.They recognize this kind of harmless guy, so they are even more unscrupulous.

"Run east."

At this time, a voice sounded in her mind.At the same time, she felt a lightness in her body, and her hands easily broke free from the restraints.

She stood up, and saw the man looking at her in astonishment, and then looked at the noose that had been fastened in his hand, completely confused about how Lacus broke free.

Lux was the most aware of the changes in her body. She noticed that her body had become a little transparent, as if she often turned into a glowing little figure in the palm of her hand, invisible.

Suddenly, an arm flashed in front of his eyes—it came from behind.Lux looked back at another stunned barbarian soldier vigilantly. He wanted to hit her on the back of the head to knock her out, but for some reason, his arm went straight through her body, making his attack miss.

It was Lux's turn to fight back, first picking up the poro to cover its eyes, then opening the palm of her other hand.As soon as she relaxed, the magic in her body poured out like a dike, turning into a dazzling radiance.

The flashing light took away the vision of the barbarian looters, and even Lux, who closed her eyes early, felt her eyes go white.However, she could still see the outlines of the surrounding things, and while the robbers covered their eyes and wept and screamed in place, she quickly escaped from their encirclement and ran to the east.

"Polo Shepherd, were you talking just now?" Lux asked while running.

Although her body was much lighter, her vision was still a little blurred, and she didn't dare to run too fast, for fear of being scratched by those vines and branches with barbs and resin.

"It's me. Don't worry about those vines and branches, you just have to run all the way east, and they won't scratch you."

"Are you a mage too?"

"Instead of caring about these, it's better to use your energy to run two more steps."

Lux was speechless for a moment, wondering whether she had bored the other party by talking too much.Zell didn't stop, and she kept running east.

After running for about 10 minutes, Lux stopped without Zell's prompt.It wasn't because she was tired, the spell Zell used on her greatly reduced her consumption when running, and she didn't feel too tired at this time.What made her stop was that she saw a man behind a bush.

A figure emerged from the woods and came towards her, and a huge bird of prey landed on the man's raised arm.

For a moment, Lux thought she was seeing a nymph or a winged fairy, because the woman seemed to have come out of the woods.She lifted the hood of her cloak, revealing a determined face, and greeted Lux ​​with a decent and polite tone.

"Hello, honorable Miss Crownguard. I am Ranger Quinn, and your brother, Captain Garen Sword, asked me to confirm your safety."

Quinn saluted Lux, and after returning the salute, Lux looked at the slender and vigorous Ranger.She had heard of Quinn's name, Demacia's best ranger, but she didn't know that this cavalry knew her brother.It stands to reason that Quinn is not under her brother's care, so Galen must have invited Quinn here in the name of a friend.

Lux belatedly thought of changing what Quinn said, in fact, it was the spies Galen sent to track her down.But what surprised her even more at this time was why Zell knew that running east would meet Quinn.

"How did he know that I returned to Mithral City?" Lux asked.

"As brothers and sisters, it's not surprising to know this, because he knows you well enough..." Quinn stopped halfway, because she noticed Lux's faded and transparent body.

"You won't report me, will you?" Lux said nervously. Although she didn't cause this, the fact that she is a mage can no longer be hidden.

Quinn then turned his face away and stopped looking at her: "I'm just a passing ranger, and the witch seeker has nothing to do with me."

Lux was relieved by the other party's attitude. She stepped forward and held Quinn's hand, pleading: "Knight Quinn, our country has been invaded, and I need your help!"

……

Lux followed Quinn and hid in the bushes. She was half a body behind Quinn, looking at the kingdom's number one ranger from time to time.

Quinn was staring at the direction where Lux came from, his amber pupils had a panoramic view of everything.Lux concluded that the other party must prefer to be alone in the wild, because she noticed that Quinn's squatting posture was a little tight, and her lower abdomen tightened. It was her own presence that made her a little uncomfortable.

Her leather armor and boots were badly worn, and her eagle was gone.Before the two of them hid, Quinn released the rare falcon named Valor high into the sky, and Lux ​​was sure that it was hovering high above the sky out of sight.

In addition, an exquisite repeating crossbow hung from Quinn's waist, and a large dagger.Other than that, she carried almost nothing but a leather barrel for the bolts and a water bladder.It was so light, Lux never doubted that such a person would not be able to hunt food in the wild.

rustle--

The bushes were opened, and Lux ​​saw that the few barbarians who had blocked her just now chased after her footsteps.
