People in the League, Masters of Time Management

"Hmm..." The old king leaned on the large and gorgeous throne, thinking for a moment. "Start from two aspects. One is internal and the other is external."

"I would like to hear the details." Mu Bai said.

"Internally, it is to reduce or even eliminate the public's fear of magic. For this reason, I need a few positive figures who know magic to 'promote' me. And you, Mr. Mu Bai, are a very suitable candidate. "

"There are also Laxana from the Crown Guard family and Sona from the Bouvier family." Mu Bai added.This is a good opportunity to build an image.

Besides... the delicate and beautiful images of those two girls are also very suitable for publicity.

Magicians may not be easy to accept, but who can say no to two beautiful magical girls?

"Well, not bad." The old king nodded in agreement, and continued:

"As for the outside world... it is to find a way to fight against the depraved aristocrats headed by Tiana. Currently I have a plan, but it will be very difficult and risky to implement."

Jarvan IV, the prince of Demacia, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.Clearly, he knew what his father's plans were and didn't quite approve.

Seeing the prince's appearance, Mu Bai became interested.

You know, the younger generation is often more radical, but now even the prince thinks it's too risky, so the old king's plan must be very... surprising.

This is a good thing - Jarvan III, who had been conservative all his life, finally rose in his twilight years.

"I plan to..." Jarvan III paused for a moment, and then said word by word: "Unite with the Freljord in the north."

Hearing this, Mu Bai showed a look of surprise.

Jarvan IV couldn't sit still, and said directly: "Father, is this too risky... The relationship between the Freljord and me, Demacia, has always been at odds. If they request an alliance at this time, they Maybe they will stab us in the back..."

"Your concerns are valid, and I know it's risky, but we have no choice."

Jarvan III shook his head and sighed, his white hair looked even older under the sunlight.

"Tiana's power is no longer inferior to the royal family. If we choose to fight head-on now, it will only lead to a tragic ending where both sides will be hurt and the fish will die... This will be a disaster for Demacia."

"But if we have the support of the Freljord, Tiana will retreat, and we will win without a fight."

"It's risky, but it's also the last resort..."

Jarvan III turned his head to look at his young prince.

"Yesterday, I ordered the dragon and bird cavalry to deliver the letter day and night, and now there is no turning back."

"Yes, father..." Speaking of this point, if Jiawen IV continued to argue, he would be a little ignorant.

The speed of the dragon bird cavalry is very fast. If it takes only one day to travel from Demacia to Freljord, it is estimated that the letter has already been delivered.

Mubai listened on the sidelines, sighing inwardly at the courage and determination of the old king—if a more conservative person made the decision, he would rather hand over the throne to Tiana than ask for foreign aid.

But... this Freljord...

It can be regarded as a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, ha ha.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking the Freljord for support?" Mu Bai asked.

"Because of a rumor." The old king stroked his beard, and a gleam of wisdom flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"I heard that the Freljord ended the millennium-long separatist situation a few days ago and ushered in a great unification."

"And their leader has just taken office at this time, and the foundation is naturally unstable. A powerful ally is bound to be needed to maintain the rule over the tribes."

"We send out an alliance request at this time, and they have no reason to refuse."

"You are really thoughtful." Mu Bai used a standard knight's salute to express his admiration.

"Let's save the words of praise until the work is done." The old king waved his hand and continued:

"I heard that the new leader of the Freljord has a leader, three assistants and four people, and they are all very young... I really want to meet that young supreme leader. He is the real hero among men and a hero in troubled times."

Jarvan IV lowered his head guiltily.

Mu Bai embarrassedly scratched his head.

On the other side of Runeterra, Kucharne in the Freljord.

Sitting at the desk, Ashe, the leader of the Freljord Alliance, carefully opened the letter from Demacia.

She was alone in the room, but she was still very cautious.

Because Lissandra and Sejuani could emerge from a corner at any time.

This is a letter from Demacia!You know, Mubai is in Demacia!

This must be the little love letter that Mu Bai sent him!Otherwise, why did the dragon rider who delivered the letter keep emphasizing that it was a secret letter?

"It seems that Mubai still likes me the most~" The girl happily took out the letter.

Then, her smile faded away.

What, isn't Mubai's letter...

king?King of Demacia?Well, it’s quite important, but it’s less than one-ten-thousandth of Mu Bai’s...

Request cooperation?Does the king with eyes higher than the top also like us northern barbarians?

Ashe smiled contemptuously.

"Yo, what is my dear sister Ashe looking at?"

Just as Ashe was about to put away the secret letter, a hearty female voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"The letter? Whose letter is it? Is it Mubai's? Let me see!"

"...No." Ashe handed over the letter with a helpless expression.Sure enough, Sejuani is everywhere.

The latter took the letter, glanced at it casually, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

"That's it? I thought it was a letter from Mubai."

"This is much more important than Mubai's family letter, my sister." Ashe said solemnly, "This is a business, a very important business. You can't just think about men."

"I don't think you have the right to speak of me." Sejuani rolled her eyes.

"Have."

"No."

"Have."

"No...hey, forget it, you can do it if you say so. So what are you going to do about this alliance?"

"Hmm..." Ashe thought for a moment, then replied: "Since Demacia sincerely wants to form an alliance, it's okay for us to go and have a look."

"That's right. Then send an envoy to talk about it."

"No, I have to go there myself, otherwise it will appear very dishonest."

"Huh?" Sejuani was a little confused.How can any country directly throw the king over in negotiations?Don't they all send envoys?

"You may not understand the twists and turns. Anyway, I want to go there myself." Ashe's expression was very serious.

Sejuani really couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a moment, so she just nodded blankly: "Okay, it's up to you. Anyway, I'm still on the side of the Freljord Alliance, so nothing can go wrong."

"Well, then I'll trouble you."

Ashe smiled at an angle that the other party couldn't see.

Finally found a chance to be alone with Mubai...

Chapter 78 Sona I'm Dumb But I'm Not Blind

When Mubai returned home, Lacus also came back from Galen.

Her expression was a little bleak and her face was a little haggard.As a member of the Crownguard family, what Tiana did hurt her a lot.

"Have a sip of tea and take a rest." After the two entered the room, Mu Bai didn't immediately ask what happened, but poured her a cup of tea first.

Sona also very understandingly went into the kitchen to prepare dessert.

"Um...thank you..."

Lux held the hot tea but didn't drink it, she just stared blankly at the reflection on the water.She could see her slender eyelashes, as well as those charming eyes like sapphires.

Normally, she would definitely say to Mu Bai proudly: Look, do my eyelashes look good?Are my eyes good?

But now, she didn't want to say a word.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." Mu Bai moved a little closer, then reached out and rubbed the girl's head. "At least... I'm still here."

"Hmm..." The warmth above her head made Lacus feel relieved, like a drowning man grabbing a straw that could save his life.

Her body gradually relaxed, and finally she almost leaned against Mu Bai.She could hear his slight and rhythmic snorting, and also feel his steady and very strong heartbeat.

She turned her head sideways, glanced into the kitchen, and said in a coquettish tone, "I want to kiss..."

"It's not good here—"

Before Mu's vernacular could finish speaking, those soft red lips were already pressed against her.

Hey, that's all...it's very ungentlemanly to refuse a woman.

I hope Sona won't find out, otherwise it will be embarrassing...

After a while, Lux let go—on a physical level.

There was a lovely smile on her face again, as if the kiss just now had given her a lot of strength, "Sure enough... If you do this kind of thing too much, you will become addicted."

"If you like it, do more." Mu Bai blurted out.

"...Can you show some face?" Lux rolled her eyes helplessly.Even if you like something, you can't say it clearly, right?Be reserved, be reserved!

"Forget it, let's talk about business."

"All ears, I would like to hear more about it." Mu Bai's smiling face made the girl even more embarrassed.

"I didn't tell Galen the truth about His Majesty's assassination..." Lux whispered, "I'm afraid he won't be able to accept what Aunt Tiana did..."

Galen's belief in the family is much stronger than hers. If he knew that the leader of the Crownguard family had done such a thing, he would probably go crazy on the spot.

On one side is the aunt who promoted him, and on the other side is Jiawen who is like a brother and sister; on the other side is the family that raised him, and on the other side is the motherland that he swore to serve.

This kind of multiple-choice question, no one can bear it.

Mu Bai even saw the shadow of Qiao in the two brothers and sisters.When loyalty and righteousness cannot be fulfilled, even heroes will commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.

"But I don't know what to do in the future... How can there be an impenetrable wall in this world..." Lux sighed.

Mubai shook his head and comforted him softly: "Don't worry. You have to trust Galen, and you have to trust me too. The battle between the royal family and the nobles has just begun, and there is still a lot of time."

"Hmm..." Lux sat up a little bit, but she still held Mubai with her little hand.

At this moment, Sona came out from the kitchen, holding a plate of small cakes with attractive aroma and excellent appearance.

[What are you talking about?I can hear you laughing from the kitchen. ] She puts down the cake and asks in sign language.

"It's nothing, it's just that Mu Bai told a very funny joke just now."

Lux squeezed Mu Bai's hand while lying.

If you hide it below, sister Sona won't be able to see it...

------------------------------

------------------

As night fell, in an underground tavern on the outskirts of Xiongdu.

There is a mixed smell of alcohol, nicotine and sweat everywhere. Dirty and messy is the sign of the tavern, and freedom is the sign of the tavern.

Human nature is released in this kind of place. Drinkers and gamblers don't have to worry about decency, but only think about how to play better and earn more.

Some people get drunk here, and some people get rich overnight here. Under the chaotic scene, people's hearts of wanton indulgence are hidden.

Wendy seemed out of place in this group of people.

She dresses plainly, but has a dignified temperament, which is completely different from those crazy guests.

She doesn't like ale, so she orders a similarly poor cocktail.It can't be tasted, but at least it can be eaten.

During the period, some people wanted to slaughter this fat sheep that they had never met before, but they were all frightened away by the mithril dagger with the noble mark in her hand.

Gold coins and life, most people know how to choose.

"Huh? Cocktails? Sven's stuff...haha." A joking voice suddenly sounded.
