People in the League, Masters of Time Management

"Don't even think about it, Mubai is from my Guanwei family."

Lux finally came to the rescue.

As soon as the word "Mianwei" came out, the gang of spies gave up instantly, not daring to have the slightest thought of fighting for it.

The Crown Guard family, a truly top-notch big family, can control the behemoth of the entire Demacia, how can they be allowed to offend?

Among the crowd, Miss Crown Guard Lacus walked straight towards Mubai, with a faint smile on her face, her cute and elegant temperament made people's hearts move.

"Let's go, Mubai."

"Yes." Mu Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lacus took Mubai away easily, but before she left, she had one more thing to do - to give Fiona a look.

The latter looked back at her without fear, and even yelled at Mubai when they walked more than ten meters away:

"We will meet again."

"No, don't even think about it!" Lux replied before Mubai.

"Will do."

"No! Hmph."

"..." Kashina rolled her eyes to the sky.

She was suddenly curious if Galen would turn around when he saw Mubai—just like he did on the battlefield.

Chapter 52 The mission of the Illuminati

After all, Lux still didn't dare to bring Mubai home directly - in the common understanding of the Demacian nobles, unless there is something important, young women bring young men home to talk about marriage.

This is absolutely impossible.

So she chose to give an unused private house to Mubai as a temporary foothold and a place for them to meet in the future.

"The location of this house is a bit off, please don't dislike it." Lacus said while tidying up her things, "If you really don't like it, I can find a way to change it for you."

"No, I'm satisfied."

Mu Bai put down his salute, and looked around the house for a week.Although this house is not luxurious, it is clean and spacious enough, and it is many times better than a hotel.

The only disadvantage is that it is remote, and it is not convenient to go out to buy something.

But for a "magician" like Mu Bai, it's better to live in a remote place, at least it won't be so easy to be found by the magic searchers.

"It's fine if you like it." Lux breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, I've already arranged for you at the Illuminati."

"Then I am now a member of the Illuminati?"

"To be exact, it's a little bit worse, probably...you can count it as an apprentice knight of the Illuminati!"

The girl took out a glittering gold medal and handed it to Mubai, then said:

"Although sister Kashina and I have been helping you talk, the rules still cannot be changed. You must complete a mission to be considered a full member of the Illuminati."

"Oh." Mu Bai took the medal and looked it over a bit.

The main body of this medal should be pure silver or some kind of silver alloy, with good hardness and toughness.The outside is plated with a thin layer of gold, engraved with the logo of the Illuminati, and the craftsmanship is not low.

The Illuminati is a charitable organization on the surface, but in fact it is a secret department directly under the royal family. It needs something to verify its identity when performing tasks, and this medal is a good choice.

"What's the mission? To organize a charity event?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Lacus rolled her eyes at the other party, "There are no outsiders around now, so you don't need to be so cautious."

"I'm used to it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mu Bai smiled.

Even Kashina will not be here at this time, so there is really no need to beat around the bush.

"Just be careful not to expose your magical talent—it's best not to be in the Illuminati, because you're not a core member yet."

Lux looked at the medal in her hand, thought for a moment and then said:

"After you complete your first mission, I'll apply to let you become a Radiant. Then you will be able to use magic within a reasonable range."

"Thank you very much, Miss Laxana." Mu Bai knew very well what it meant to use magic in Demacia.

"Just call me Lux. I like my friends to call me that." The girl said.

"Alright Lux, what is my first mission?"

"It's a long story, but it's very simple."

Lux stretched out a finger and tapped on the table lightly, her complacent expression revealing a little pride.

"First of all, I want to make it clear to you: your first mission is a two-person mission, and my partner is me."

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

"Kahina Knight Commander, will it be too..."

"Too much?"

"It's a little too simple..."

"Easy? No, you can't just look at the surface."

In a separate office of the Illuminati, Kashina looked at her little assistant and suddenly wanted to test her.

Wendy Gladys, female, 19 years old, a core member of the Illuminati who also does not know magic, has just served as the assistant to the knight commander for less than half a year, and is still half a rookie.

The thick lenses and the high ponytail make her look very well-behaved and a little dumb, and the few freckles on her cheeks add a bit of cuteness to her.

"Sorry, Knight Commander... I don't understand." Wendy shook her head, "Excuse me for being stupid, but I still can't see how difficult this task is."

"That's because your thinking is limited to the individual." Kashina smiled slightly and picked up the task file on the table.

The task process is clearly written in black and white on it:

[Investigate the string player [Sona] to verify whether the rumor that "Sona is a magician" is true]

"Individual..." Wendy pondered for a while, but unfortunately she still couldn't figure out why. "Don't Miss Sona have a good relationship with you? Why do you want to investigate her?"

"It's because I have a good relationship with her that I want to do this."

Kashina recalled her kind, beautiful, gentle and pleasant "sister", and unconsciously smiled on her face.

Although she and Sona have no blood relationship, they get along as close as sisters - Sona is the adopted daughter of her parents, so naturally she can be regarded as her half-sister.

"This..." Wendy was even more puzzled.

"I gave this task to Lacus and Mubai for two reasons." Kashina stretched out two fingers, and then said slowly:

"First, Sona is one of the main suspects of the Demon Seeker. We must 'prove her innocence' before the Demon Seeker, lest something I don't want to happen."

"Second, I want to find out about Mubai's details - I always feel that he is hiding something from me."

"Oh..." Wendy nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "But... it doesn't sound too difficult, does it?"

"So I said that your thinking is limited to the individual."

Kashina shook her head with a smile, and continued to analyze the situation for the other party:

"First of all, let me be clear. I just said that I wanted to find out about Mubai because I suspected that he was sent by the demon seekers."

"The power of the Demonseekers is growing day by day, and to a certain extent, they are out of the control of the royal family. They are the weapons of the nobles, and they are also a time bomb buried in Demacia."

"If Mubai was really sent by the demon seeker, then he will definitely try to arrest Sona instead of helping her get rid of the crime. This is the first test I gave him."

"So, do you understand? This mission is not only about Mubai and Sona, but also about the duel between all the Illuminators and the Demon Seekers."

Hearing this, Wendy showed a suddenly realized expression.

A seemingly simple task, but behind it involves an open and secret struggle between the two major forces in the kingdom.

Of course, it's also possible that Kashina was outwitted by the air—that would be perfect.

"Okay, you go out first." Kashina said, "I should go back after finishing the documents."

"Okay. Thanks for your hard work, Knight Commander Kashina."

Wendy owed a little, and then left the office with a few stacks of file backups.

Where Kashina couldn't see, she suddenly showed a playful smile.

Chapter 53 Lux's Exclusive Knight

Xiongdu, inside Dawn Castle.

Jarvan IV summoned Garen Crownguard again, but this time not for training, but for something else.

"Good morning, Your Highness." Galen knelt down on one knee as soon as he entered the door, performing a standard knight salute.

"There's no one else here, you know what to call me, buddy." Jarvan IV laughed.

"Basic etiquette is still required," Galen smiled back, "My brother."

"As you like."

Jarvan IV pointed to the chair opposite the table, and continued after Galen sat down:

"Has Miss Laxana returned to Xiongdu? I think I saw Kashina yesterday—you know, they always walk together."

"Well, I came back yesterday." Galen nodded, "It's a good thing she wasn't injured, otherwise I would have to be trained again."

"Who dares to train our great fearless pioneer swordsman?"

"That's too much... My parents, uncle, and Aunt Tiana, they can definitely talk in my ears all day long."

"Haha, that sounds really bad." Jarvan IV laughed heartily, but there was always a weird look in his eyes.

Galen didn't notice the change in his good buddy's micro-expression, but felt that it was a little strange that the other party suddenly called him over to chat about family affairs, "Jiawen, you didn't call me here just to chat?"

"Why, I'm fine, can't I call you over for a chat?"

"It's not impossible, it's not possible."

"You are really heartless in what you say... Well, I do have something to ask you for."

Galen smiled "I knew it", while Jarvan IV shrugged helplessly.

"I want to discuss with you about the demon seeker." The latter said, "I feel that recently the demon seeker... is too lenient."

"Too lenient? What do you mean?" Galen's puzzled expression did not seem to be fake.

He spent eighteen hours a day in the barracks training or exercising soldiers, and he didn't know much about the outside world.

Of course, he doesn't need to know - as a fearless vanguard soldier, his only duty is to defend his home and country against foreign enemies.

Compared with the open and secret struggles of the nobles, he needs to care more about the savage tribes in the north, the greedy empire in the east and the black magician organization in the south.

"They stretched their hands too far..." Jarvan IV sighed, "If the power of the magic searchers is not only reflected in the search, it will be a disaster for Demacia."

"Did the Demonseeker do anything out of the ordinary?" Galen asked again.

"Yes, and... quite a few. They have almost become a tool for the nobles to oppress the common people and make money greedily."

"Not good..."

"Well, the situation is not optimistic."

Jarvan IV leaned forward, propped his elbows on the table, and stared at him with a pair of piercing eyes.

"Dude, I want to ask you a question."

"You say so." Galen didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

Jarvan IV nodded, and said in a deep voice, "If... I said, if the royal family wants to cleanse the magic seekers, what will you do?"

"Obey orders, follow military orders." Galen said without hesitation, "Don't be moved by external objects, the nature of soldiers is to follow orders!"

This incomparably standard answer made Jarvan IV smile, but the worry in his eyes never dissipated.

He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't ask the second question.

"Okay, you go back first, the barracks cannot be without our great swordsman commander."

"Stop making fun of me, Your Highness." Galen saluted with a smile.

The luxurious door opened and closed, leaving Jarvan IV alone in the room.

He looked at the seal on the table and sighed heavily.
