People in the League, Masters of Time Management

Wendy looked at a portrait of a man on the table and remained silent for a long time, until Chris made a confused voice before continuing:

"Then go to that man to cooperate... This time I'll ask him to make props that can sense magic."

"You mean, let's use 'props that can sense magic' to track it down?" Chris asked.

"Yes. First confirm the hiding places of the two black mages, and then deploy operations carefully. This time, we must ensure that the capture is successful!"

"Yes."

Chris saluted again, indicating that he was ready to leave.

The partner Wendy asked him to find was difficult to deal with, and he had to make full preparations, otherwise...it would be easy to capsize in the gutter.

Like making a deal with the devil, every punctuation mark in the contract must not be sloppy.

That is the most dangerous magician in all of Demacia...

"Go." Wendy waved her hand, and suddenly noticed that there was still a plate of uneaten coconut cake on the table.

"Wait...you can eat this. If you don't like it, you can throw it away."

"Huh?" Chris froze for a moment.He knew that it was the pastry made by Mrs. Gladys herself.

"Don't ask. Anyway, just take it away for me." Wendy's tone was mixed with a trace of impatience.

Seeing this, Chris had no choice but to nod in agreement, and took away the whole plate of pastries.

Just before jumping onto the window sill, he turned his head to look at the portrait on the table:

"We always have to look forward, Mrs. Wendy."

"Looking backward is the source of my motivation..." Wendy leaned back in the chair, as if all her strength had been exhausted. "I will never forget Gummer's last plea...I will make everyone pay..."

"Everyone...?"

"Everyone."

"……Ok, I see."

Chris sighed, and his figure disappeared into the night in an instant.

The night was terribly silent, only the occasional crowing of ravens distinguishing reality from fantasy.

On the other side of Xiongdu, in Mubai's secret hut.

Both Kashina and Lux ​​left.The former was because he was worried that he would lure the magic seekers here, while the latter had to go home to sleep because of strict family education.

Ever since, there are only Mubai and Sona left in the room.

"I sleep on the first floor, you sleep upstairs?" It was already late at night, and Mu Bai had to face this embarrassing question.

【As long as it's convenient for you, I can sleep anywhere...】 Sona still acted a little unnaturally, 【You don't need to care about me...】

"Well, let's arrange it like this. It's more convenient for you to live upstairs to hide." Mu Bai said, "Also, just call me by my first name, and you don't need to use an honorific title."

【Okay, okay...】

"Ah."

The atmosphere became awkward again.

Mu Bai looked at this girl with an extremely sexy figure but a shy personality in front of him, and was a little worried about whether he could take good care of her.

We will live together for a long time...

Speaking of which...is this considered cohabitation?

Chapter 60 Lux's Criteria for Choosing a Mate

Early the next morning, Lux came over with a few sets of clothes.

She had measured Sona's measurements in her room yesterday, so don't worry about the size, let alone the style—her clothes and vision are well-known in Xiongdu.

Of course, she wasn't completely free from problems when choosing clothes.

such as……

[This tube top is so big?Did you make a mistake when you measured the size yesterday? 】

[This skirt is so small?Is Sister Sona's waist so thin?Can someone really have big breasts and thin waist? 】

[Fat times... what style does Elder Sister Sona like?Or just this little bear pattern, it's very cute. 】

【Hey, this dress looks good... no, no, it's a bit too much, it's not good if Mu Bai sees it...】

[Is this dress a little too conservative...Forget it, wear more warmly! 】

【…】

And so on.

"Sister Sona, I carefully selected these~" Lux handed the bag to Sona with a smile, "Do you want to try it now?"

[Okay, thank you, little Lux. ] The latter answered in sign language with a sweet smile on his face.

After speaking, she carried a big bag of clothes and walked into the room, but Lux didn't follow.

[Eh?Won't little Lacus come over with you? ] she asked.

"Well... Mubai and I have something to discuss, can I help Sister Sona look at your clothes later?" Lacus stroked her hair a little embarrassedly.

Sona looked at her, then at Mubai, showing an expression of "I see, I understand, I won't bother you", and then closed the door.

Mu Bai scratched his head in doubt, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"Yes, two things." Lux said seriously, "A good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"If the bad news is not so bad, maybe it is not bad news." Mu Bai said.

"The last time I heard such nonsense was the last time." Lux rolled her eyes. "Which one do you want to hear first?"

"It's all right."

"Then tell the good news first."

"Row."

"Galen put pressure on the demon seekers." Lux said, "According to inside information, the demon seekers union withdrew its pursuit of Sister Sona this morning. In other words, we are temporarily safe now."

"Extremely good news." The corners of Mu Bai's mouth raised slightly unconsciously.

In this way, although Sona still can't walk on the street openly, at least she won't be visited by people to check the water meter if she stays here.

"What about the bad news?"

"Bad news..." Lacus pursed her lips, her eyes dodged a little, as if she had thought of something that made her very embarrassed.

"Yes Yes……"

"What is it?" Mu Bai was a little confused.Shouldn't normal people have a sad face when they tell bad news? What does this shy face mean?

"Um...that's..." Lux shifted her gaze elsewhere, her cheeks were as red as the autumn sunset, "I...I...I was...by..."

"What happened? Hurry up and talk."

"I was urged to marry—!" Lux suddenly yelled loudly, as if using all the breath she had just held on this sentence.

"Eh... eh?" Mu Bai was even more confused.

What kind of bad news is this?Isn't it normal to be urged to marry by the family when you reach the age?

He thought so, and asked the same question.

"Hmm... this may not be bad news in itself, but..." Lux lowered her head and put her two small hands on her thighs, looking very disturbed.

"But what? Don't half-talk every time." Mu Bai was made a little anxious.

"But...but...I sold you..."

"Sell? What do you mean?"

"It's just... I use you... as a shield..."

"...Huh?" Mu Bai suddenly had an ominous premonition.

And the girl's next words told him that sometimes the premonition is not as simple as a premonition:

"They kept nagging in my ear last night... I got excited and said I had a... goal."

"Is that target me?" Mu Bai was a little dumbfounded.

Lux nodded timidly.

In fact, she doesn't have much admiration for Mubai, really, just a little bit.She is a very sensible person, so she doesn't have any love brains or anything like that.

Mainly... looking at the entire Demacia, how can there be a suitable candidate?Really, not a single one.

It's not about how tall my spouse is, but at least the other half can't be too bad, right?Want some advantages?

For example...as strong, humble, and handsome as Mubai...and so on.

Even if he doesn't have the above advantages, at least he must have the advantage of being named Mubai, right?

No matter how bad it is, it’s okay to have the character “牧” or the character “白”, it would be even better to have both characters.

Really, in fact, she didn't like Mu Bai very much, but because there was really no suitable candidate, she would use Mu Bai as a shield.

Really.

"Should I be happy or sad?" Mu Bai squeezed out a bitter smile.

"Sorry..." Lux's voice was full of guilt, "but there is no turning back..."

"Ok?"

"Galen said he wanted to meet you..."

"..."

Mu Bai knew that "see" and "sword" sound the same.See you = sword one sword = cunning villain + big sword.

"Hey... when?" The matter has come to this point, and they can only face the reality.

"Just...in a few days..." Lux buried her head very low.She is guilty, but not regretful.

If the other half is not even comparable to Mu Bai, then she would rather die than get married.

Is this mate selection demanding?Not high at all.

Isn't it just that the other half is required to be called Mubai, and to have the height, appearance, personality, ability and thinking of Mubai?

With such a low standard, there is only one person in Demacia who can achieve it!Alas, men in Demacia are getting worse and worse...

"All right, all right, I'll go see Galen with you in a few days." Mu Bai rubbed his temples in distress.

"Hey... you just agreed?" Lacus looked surprised, "Shouldn't you refuse first, and then let me beg you or something?"

"I don't have that bad taste."

Mu Bai shook his head helplessly, then put a hand on the girl's soft and beautiful blond hair.

"Besides, am I not your exclusive knight?"

"..." Lux suddenly felt that her face was so hot that she was about to get angry.

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

In Demacia, all ordinary people with magical talents can almost say that their lives ended at the beginning.

Their existence is not allowed, and their lives are as humble as ants—even if they have served this country.

Chris, who was once a jailer, has a deep understanding of this.Even though he has already become the leader of the Demon Seeker Squadron by virtue of his outstanding personal ability, he often recalls the days of working in the Demon Seeker Dungeon.

This gloomy and dark place taught him too many truths.

Among them, one prisoner left the deepest impression on him, and was also the most terrifying.

But now, he had to face the prisoner again.

Because he needed the man's magical talent.

"Long time no see, Silas."
