Legends of Runeterra

Early the next morning, under Smod's reluctant gaze, Li En said goodbye to a few people and set off for Miyin City.

After all, since he had promised Garen, Li En still had to go back to the capital with Lux.

After arriving at the City Hall to submit the task, Li En, holding Jarvan's token, directly informed the other party that the task had been solved, and he would report the specific situation to Jarvan personally at that time.

After expressing his gratitude to the relevant person in charge, Li En returned to the Mianwei Mansion.

"Miss, Master Li En is back and has just arrived in the inner hall!"

"Huh? I know!"

Lux immediately stood up and left the study, walking quickly towards the inner hall.

...

"Li En, you're back~!"

Li En had just picked up the tea and took a sip when he heard the girl's surprised voice coming from the door.

"Well, Lux, I'm back."

Seeing that Li En in front of her was intact and even his clothes were not stained, Lux's heart was finally at ease, but then a hint of dissatisfaction quietly arose.

"Hmph! Seriously, didn't we agree to go investigate? Why did you chase them alone? You could have gone back to the city and called for help first..."

Under Li En's smiling gaze, Lux realized that her reaction was a little too excited. Her voice unconsciously became lower and lower, and a blush appeared on her little face.

The girl felt so embarrassed that she couldn't help but look away.

"Sorry Lux, I won't do that next time."

"Well... that's fine..."

"But my mission this time is very interesting. Do you want to hear about it?"

Seeing that Lux was embarrassed, Li En took the initiative to change the subject.

"Oh? Is that okay?"

"Of course, come on, let's go to the study."

As Li En spoke, he picked up the package on the table and walked out of the inner hall first, followed closely by Lux.

"Click~!"

After the door was closed, Lux and Li En sat down face to face, looking at each other expectantly.

"Li En, can you tell me now?"

"Ahem! Regarding this farm fire incident, after I tracked it down, I found that the ultimate culprit was actually a dragon!"

"dragon!?"

Lux exclaimed, then immediately covered her little mouth, looking at him with sparkling eyes full of excitement.

"Yes, it's just a young dragon that got separated from its mother..."

Li En omitted the part about meeting Ryze because of the "World Rune", and used words to embellish the meeting between Julia and Smodur.

"Finally, the dragon mother and the young dragons reunited in the mountains outside of Urwendale, and I set out to return to Mithril City. By the way, I happened to meet Barrett Bouvier on the way, and helped his hunting team kill a giant tooth-eating beast."

As he spoke, Li En opened the package.

A sharp horn and an ancient scroll appeared in front of Lux.

"It's really a journey like a legendary story~!"

Lux stroked the horn gently.

After awakening her magic, in order to avoid being discovered, Lux's most common thing was to go to the family library alone and read books about all kinds of strange stories, fantasizing that she could also experience those adventures.

"Even Jarrow Qingyu doesn't have such a thrilling story..."

"Who?"

"Ah~! Nothing...nothing, just the name of a protagonist in an adventure storybook~!

Although the text is a bit exaggerated, the story is quite interesting. "

Lux, who accidentally spoke out her true feelings, quickly began to explain.

His eyes swept across and fell on the ancient scroll beside him.

"By the way, Li En, what is this? Did you also get it on this trip?"

"This one is really amazing! It's a 'secret treasure' that the Dragon Mother gave to me to thank me!"

"Secret...Secret treasure!?"

"Ok!"

Li En nodded and spread out the ancient scroll in front of Lux.

"Yeah~!"

Lux turned her head quickly.

"Li...Li En, can I see this?"

"It's okay, just look around, it's safe."

Although Li En misunderstood what Lux meant, she still turned her eyes to the scroll out of curiosity after getting permission.

All I saw were extremely complex and profound pink patterns covering the entire scroll.

Lux subconsciously compared it with all the ancient languages ​​and heraldry knowledge she had learned, but found nothing that matched it.

"Li En, this is..."

"This is a contract. The Dragon Mother said that there is a spirit inside that can absorb the excess magic power with the wizard's active permission."

Li En pushed the scroll in front of Lux.

"Come on, Lux, give it a try and input your magic power into it. If you succeed, you don't have to worry about losing control until you fully master your magic power."

At this point, even if Lux was clumsy, she understood Li En's intentions.

This was definitely not something that the Mother of Dragons gave out by chance. It was most likely a "secret treasure" that was obtained specifically for Lux at Li En's request.

Lux pursed her lips, and her blue eyes were covered with a faint layer of moisture.

"Leen...I..."

"Let's get started. I'm waiting for you to take me around Xiongdu after you succeed.

If I go there alone, that stone statue will probably ignore me."

"Well, I understand. I will definitely succeed!"

Lux nodded and raised her hand to the scroll.

"Om~!"

Like the faint light of dawn, magic power slowly flowed into the scroll.

One minute, two minutes...

When a thin layer of sweat appeared on Lux's forehead and she was about to forcibly use the magic power that she had not yet controlled.

"Wow~!"

The scroll trembled and flew up, floating in the air.

"Om~!"

Along with the pink light, a petite figure slowly appeared.

It was about ten centimeters tall, with light pink, transparent butterfly wings gently fluttering. It had a delicate face that was definitely not an ordinary creature, and its eyes slowly opened.

"I am the spirit of love - Eve. Excuse me, are you my contractor?"

"So...so cute~!"

Looking at the petite elf, Lux couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"Human, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"Oh, sorry, my name is Laxana Crownguard, you can call me Lux, I woke you up!"

"Okay Contractor Lux, what can I do for you?"

"Uh... not yet."

"In that case, I'm going to go and rest first. If you have anything, just call me with your mind and we can talk directly."

"Ok."

"So, contractors Li En and Lacus, see you next time!"

"Shua~!"

With a flash of light, the elf Eve disappeared.

"Pah pah pah~!"

"Congratulations Lux, you made it!"

"That's great, Lee En~!"

Excited Lux ​​threw herself into Li En's arms.

Feeling the beauty of the girl's newly revealed body, Li En gently rubbed Lux's head, and then gently pushed away Lux, who had reacted and was stiff all over.

"Woo~!"

The girl lowered her head, and the tips of her ears had already turned red.

"I'm going to visit Mr. Drake. Lux, you can communicate more with the elf Eve and see what abilities she has."

"Okay, okay..."

After Li En left, Lux could no longer suppress the shame in her heart and fell on the sofa with the scroll in her arms.
