Legends of Runeterra

It was like a smooth floor was lifted up, revealing the filthy sewer underneath.

Lux stood there in a daze, neither moving forward nor leaving.

Lovegood, who was standing at the door, turned sideways, leaned forward slightly, and waited quietly without saying anything.

"Hoo~!"

Taking a deep breath from beneath her hood, Lux took a step forward.

The waiting Lovegood took a step at the same time and walked two body lengths in front of Lux's left.

When Lovegood, dressed as a demon hunter, walked into the dungeon, just a glance from him made even the Demon Infected, who had just cursed everyone to death, instantly quiet down.

The Demon Infected who were clinging to the cells shrank back one after another.

It is obvious to the naked eye what kind of deterrent power Lovegood has among this group of people.

"Sir, this area is the holding room. Those who are held there are those awaiting trial."

"Judgment? Then...are they all mages?"

"Although they haven't confessed yet, but... yes, all of them!"

Even though Lux tried her best to lower her voice, the girl's clean and clear voice was still caught by the prisoners' ears in the quiet cell.

This guy seemed so easy to deceive, and coupled with Lovegood's respectful attitude, the prisoners immediately became interested.

"My goodness, I..."

"Bang~!"

The armored fist pierced through the railing made of forbidden magic stone and accurately hit the face of the Demon Infected.

"Plop~!"

The prisoner collapsed to the ground.

"Someone, take him away and treat him well!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Two tall guards immediately ran in and opened the cell door skillfully.

Ignoring the others who had huddled in the corner, he picked up the unconscious prisoner and was about to leave the detention room.

The guard walked in front of Lux, slowing down his pace slightly.

However, to the surprise of several people, Lux just stood there quietly without making any move to stop it.

One of the guards turned his head obscurely, Lovegood signaled with his eyes, and then the two of them took the prisoner away directly.

"I'm sorry, sir, for letting those lowly fellows disturb you."

"It's okay. It's not your fault, Captain Lovegood. Keep going."

"As you wish, my lord."

The deeper you go into the 'Dark Cell' prison, the fewer prisoners there are in the cells, and the more shackles they have.

The prisoners were handcuffed with heavy magic-suppressing stone shackles. Although they looked lifeless, compared to the "demon-tainted" in front of them, they dared to glare at Lovegood.

Lovegood didn't care about the resentful looks at all. He introduced the prisoners in the cell to Lux in a calm tone, just like a guide at a tourist attraction.

Lovegood pointed to a cell and said softly, “This is Joseph Omer, who used magic to kill three civilians and five city guards.

During the capture, he seriously injured three people and killed one demon hunter. He is an extremely dangerous and terrifying guy!"

Lux looked towards the cell with her deep blue eyes and nodded slightly with a very unpleasant expression.

Lovegood's brow furrowed, then relaxed in an instant.

Even though the girl's emotions were greater than expected, everything still had to go on as planned.

As Lovegood continued to lead Lux ​​forward, the girl was communicating with a spirit in her heart.

"How about it, Lux, can you still hold on?"

"No... no problem!"

Lux had communicated with Eve long before coming to the Black Prison.

While asking her to help cover up the magical fluctuations, he also asked Eve to use her ability as the 'Elf of Love' - to feel the emotions emanating from intelligent life - to bless herself.

Although she couldn't read other people's minds, at least with this layer of insurance, Lux could sense which demon hunters had ill intentions towards her and be on guard against them in advance.

However, the result caught Lux off guard. The demon hunter with malicious intent was discovered, and it was Lovegood who looked extremely respectful in front of her.

What followed was the overwhelming resentment emanating from the prisoners in the prison.

Even though Eve took on most of the burden, the remaining burden still made Lux feel tremendous pressure.

"Forget it, Lux. I'll be able to help you sense the warning anyway!"

'I'm fine. Li En said, 'Only by daring to accept hardships can you become stronger.'

Besides, you, Eve, are watching over us.

Just some malicious intent, I'm fine with it!'

"Of course, don't worry, Lux, I will protect you."

'Well, thank you Eve!'

"Haha~! You're welcome."

After passing through a section of empty cells, the two came to a wall with only a thick door.

"Sir, we have reached the end of the 'Black Prison'. It is time to return."

"Hmm? But Captain Lovegood, isn't there a big door in front of us? Where does it lead to?"

"this..."

"What's the matter Captain Lovegood, please open the door and let me in."

The thick resentment as thick as ink, which could be felt even through the door, made Lux unable to suppress a sense of curiosity and vigilance.

"Who on earth could have such a terrible hatred?"

"Sir, the person imprisoned here... is a prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment!"

"Life imprisonment? Who?"

"He...he is...Silas from Biangou Town!"

"Silas..."

Lux recalled the information she had looked up.

"You mean fifteen years ago, that..."

"Yes, sir, he is the most dangerous prisoner in the jail, let's go back."

Lovegood rarely interrupted Lux ​​and pleaded with her urgently.

"No, Captain Lovegood, I want to go in and take a look."

"This... Sir... There are rules in the prison. Except for the three daily meals, this door is absolutely not allowed to be opened..."

"That's it..."

"Yes sir, we better leave quickly."

Lux gently took off her hood, recalling the expression of her aunt Tiana Crownguard, narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised her fair and smooth chin.

"So Captain Lovegood, now...it's time for lunch!"

"grown ups..."

Lovegood was silent for a moment, then bowed.

"As you wish."

Arriving in front of the heavy door, Lovegood pulled the switch.

"Boom~!"

With a slight vibration, the stone gate rose.

"My lord, please forgive me for not being able to go in with you. I can only wait for you at the door."

"I understand. Thank you, Captain Lovegood."

"Although that person is bound by forbidden magic stone chains, please be careful and don't stay too long."

"I remember."

Lux nodded, took the torch from Lovegood, and stepped into the dark dungeon.
