People in the League, Masters of Time Management

Throwing him into that disgusting place is a thousand times, ten thousand times more uncomfortable than killing him directly.

That's why he didn't dare to yell where there were people.

"Speaking of which, why did you come to the Freljord?" Mu Bai didn't bother to continue bickering with Aatrox, and turned to a few Demacia soldiers. "I heard you were investigating something?"

"This..." Detta scratched his head, showing hesitation.

But after a while, he still decided to tell the truth—Mubai defeated the demons, so he could be said to be their savior.

Repaying kindness is a very important part of chivalry.

"Yes...we are looking for a black magician hiding in Forsbarrow." He said slowly:

"The black magician who never showed up bewitched the local residents and created several tragic murders."

"We were ordered by the Illuminati to investigate, but the local residents couldn't give us any useful clues, so we tracked all the way north, and the merchants who came and went to Frost Harbor told us that demons appeared in the north."

"At that time, I thought...the demons in the north should be monsters created by black magicians, and then we..."

Having said that, Detta showed a bitter smile.

The demon didn't succeed in chasing him down, and took the lives of several teammates in vain...

"I see." Mu Bai nodded.

But Aatrox couldn't sit still immediately, and quickly shouted: "I haven't been to any Forsbarrow! Don't blame me!"

He doesn't care if others regard him as a lunatic, a demon, or a murderer, but he doesn't want to take the blame for the culprit.

It's about dignity.

"I can think on my own, don't make noise." Mu Bai knocked hard on the blade of the sword, and the latter fell silent immediately.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to ask several soldiers: "Now that the devil has been defeated, what are you going to do?"

"Return to Xiongdu." Deta said without hesitation, "We will report the incident truthfully, and we will never take any credit from you."

"Yeah." Mu Bai shrugged indifferently.

Fossbarrow... The Black Mage... Murder...

Sounds familiar.

"Come on, go on, I just want to visit Fossbarrow."

Chapter 40 Lux, yours is so big

For a well-trained Demacian knight, it only takes a few hours to cover a distance of more than ten kilometers.

Before they were exhausted, they finally saw the familiar bluestone city wall and the Demacian flag hanging on it.

"Just get here." Cavalier squad leader Deta breathed a sigh of relief, then willingly took out all his belongings and handed them to Mubai. "This is your reward."

The latter felt something was wrong the moment he took the purse, "We said three gold coins at the beginning, and you gave too much."

"Demacia uses gold coins everywhere, and I will lend you the extra part." Deta smiled, "When you have spare money, remember to ask me to pay back the money in Xiongdu." "

"Okay, then I will trouble you to show me the style of Xiongdu again."

Mu Bai understood what the other party meant, so he didn't put any pretense at the moment, and directly put the money bag into the bag.

Many friends, many paths.Since others have taken the initiative to show favor, there is no need for me to pretend to be cold.

"No problem." Detta took off his helmet and gave a military salute with a smile. "Then let's go first, and see you later."

"Well, see you again by fate."

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

After seeing off a few knights, Mu Bai wandered around the city.

The customs here are completely different from those in the Freljord. People pay more attention to etiquette and knowledge. Gorgeous and magnificent buildings can be seen everywhere, and the overall cleanliness of the streets is also very good.

The reason is because of the good location of Demacia.

The people of Demacia don't have to face Blizzard and beasts. The only enemy, Noxus, also withdrew its troops a few years ago.People live and work in peace and contentment and live a happy life, and the environment will naturally improve.

But... No matter how rich a country is, there will be places that are relatively backward.

Like Forsbarrow.

Although it is not bad here, compared to big cities like Mithral City and Demacia Xiongdu, it still seems a bit stretched.

Coupled with the recent "Black Mage" incident, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street, the doors of every house were closed, and even those shops that made a living from trade were rarely open for business.

Mubai walked around for a long time before finding an open hotel.

"Welcome light... er... welcome to..."

The store manager is a fat woman about 40 years old.As soon as she saw Mu Bai's outfit, the smile disappeared immediately.

Well, if I have to say it, I still have a forced smile.

Of course, she can't be blamed for this-anyone who sees a weirdo with a three-meter-long sword on his back will be terrified.

"Don't be nervous, this is just a decoration." Mu Bai smiled and waved the Darkborn Demon Sword, looking very relaxed. "Wooden and very light."

"How dare you call my weapon an ornament? You stupid maggot! It's dark gold! Dark gold!" Aatrox yelled again.

But the woman couldn't hear, "Oh, decorations... what do you need, my dear guest?"

"Let's have something to eat first." Mu Baike politely took out a gold coin, and the other party's attitude immediately improved a lot.

"No problem, what would you like to eat?"

"It's all right."

Like most hotels, here you can stay in the hotel or dine in.

It's just that this place is calmer than any hotel Mu Bai has ever seen - except for the store manager, there is no one on the entire first floor.

But that's okay, it's easier to inquire about news because there are fewer people.

"Aren't there any guests recently?" Mu Bai pretended to be casual and asked.

The store manager was busy preparing the food, and without thinking about it, he replied casually: "Yes... People are panicking recently, and no one wants to travel to Forsbarrow. Naturally, my small shop doesn't have much business."

"Is it because of the black mage?"

"Hmm... oops, I almost put too much salt..."

"It's okay, I like to eat something salty."

"Haha, you're such a fine gentleman. Where were we talking... oh, black magician."

The fat woman carefully calculated the amount of seasonings, and then poured them into the pot one by one.

"That damn bastard bewitched a lot of people...and killed a lot of people, alas."

"It's too bad." Mu Bai said in a sad tone, "Has the black magician been found yet?"

"No... I heard that Xiongdu sent people over some time ago, but they couldn't find the black magician either." As she spoke, the fat woman tapped the iron spoon in her hand, as if she hated the black magician. teacher.

"Extremely bad news." Mu Bai said.

He doesn't know the situation of the black magician, but he knows the "people from Xiongdu" the other party just mentioned.

If nothing else, it should be those Demacian soldiers who fled to Kuchar.

It seems that Aatrox is not lying, and Fossbarrow's matter has nothing to do with him-he is now trapped in the True Ice, but the dreaded black magician is still at work.

"Someone knows about the black mage—"

"Ah, whose thing is this?" Mu Bai's words were interrupted by a clear and lively voice, "A... sword? It's such a big sword."

Looking back, I saw a beautiful blonde girl looking up and down at the Darkborn Demon Sword lying on the ground.

Obviously, the giant sword blocked the exit of the stairs, making it impossible for her to pass.

"Oh, that's the guest's wooden sword—a decoration, very light." The store manager shouted to the girl without thinking.

"That's it..." The girl nodded thoughtfully, then bent down to raise her sword.

Mu Bai recognized the girl, and was stunned for a moment.

By the time he reacted, the opponent had already put his hands on the hilt of his sword.

"Hey - eh?!"

The weight of the sword was far beyond the girl's imagination. The sudden "change" made it too late for her to stabilize her body. One foot stumbled directly on the steps, and then the whole person fell forward.

Unbiased, just fell into Mu Bai's arms.

"My God! Are you okay, Miss Guanwei!" The store manager was so frightened that he almost threw the pot out.

If the girl in front of me made any mistakes in her shop, the consequences would be unimaginable...

"No, it's okay..." The blond girl was also taken aback, and didn't even realize that she was leaning in the arms of a strange man.

Mu Bai was a little embarrassed, but he still helped the other party to stand firm.

"Sorry, dear Miss Crownguard, my sword is actually a bit heavy."

"It's really heavy—eh?" The girl suddenly realized something, and hurriedly distanced herself, "That...I didn't jump on you on purpose...Sorry..."

"It deserves it! Hahahahaha, this stupid maggot tried to move my weapon in delusion! What a big joke, hahahaha!" Aatrox laughed happily.

Mu Bai glared at Demon Sword, then immediately bowed to apologize to the girl, "It should be me who said I'm sorry."

Bad, this is the first meeting with Lux...

It doesn't seem very friendly...

Chapter 41 Come to my room at night

In order to make up for his mistakes, Mubai decided to treat Lacus to a meal.

Fortunately, the latter seemed to be quite available, so he didn't refuse.

"Please allow me to apologize to you again for my negligence, respected Miss Guanwei." Mu Bai bowed gracefully.

"Well...it's not entirely your fault..." Lux looked at the large table of dishes in front of her, looking a little cautious. "Also...do you know me?"

In fact, logically speaking, a wealthy daughter from a famous family like her is very polite, and she shouldn't feel embarrassed because of such a trivial matter.

But she is too special—she hates red tape, has been naughty since she was a child, and often makes the etiquette teacher dizzy with anger, so that she has never seen any "big scenes".

So when Mubai said he wanted to invite her to a meal, she didn't know how to refuse, so she had to agree.

Of course, the main reason is that Mubai gave her a good first impression—good-looking, polite, courteous, and it is not impossible to make friends.

"Didn't the shop manager's wife call your name just now?" Mu Bai smiled, "Besides... there is no one in Demacia who doesn't know you, beautiful Miss Laxana."

"I'm not that famous yet..." Lux lowered her head in embarrassment.

In the following time, the two of them didn't have much communication, they just ate in silence, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

It wasn't until the meal was almost finished that Lux asked the question she had been wanting to ask before but couldn't find a chance to ask:

"Um... are you a foreign traveler?"

Mu Bai looked at his clothes, and replied without any concealment: "Yes. My name is Mu Bai."

The clothes on him are not weird, but they are still somewhat different from the traditional clothes of Demacia, and normal people can tell the clues at a glance.

But he still intends to conceal the matter from the Freljord. After all, the relationship between the two countries is not very good, and this identity will only become an obstacle for him to explore Demacia.

"My name is Laxana. Laxana Crownguard." Lacus said.

After a slight pause, she asked again: "Why did you come to Forsbarrow...I didn't mean to interrogate you, I was just... curious. The reputation here is not very good recently, you should know."

While talking, she kept secretly looking at the other party, trying to find some useful clues with her eyes.

During this period of time, there was a lot of noise about the black magician, and every outsider seemed a little suspicious.

"Well..." Mu Bai deliberately glanced to the side for a few times, until a suspicious expression gradually appeared on the girl's face, then he lowered his voice and continued:

"I felt a very evil aura when I passed by here, so I plan to come over and investigate... Can you keep this matter a secret for me?"

Lux froze for a moment, then excitedly shouted: "Of course!"

After a while, she suddenly realized that she didn't look like a lady, so she quickly straightened her sitting posture, and a shy blush appeared on her cheeks.

"I mean... I'll keep it a secret for you..."
