LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia.

At this moment, a storm was brewing behind the northern peaks, but the high mountains blocked the dark clouds, and the lower slopes gradually began to be covered with a green carpet of Demacia pine trees.

Although the green pine trees grew tenaciously despite the severe cold, they were bent by the perennial north wind. Looking to the east and west, the endless mountains were gradually covered by a blue haze, and the sky turned an oppressive dark black.

Sure enough, it started to rain on the way to Forsbarrow, from continuous light rain to moderate rain. The raindrops fell "swish", and a light layer of white mist appeared on the forest mountain road.

The farther north you go, the more you see the gap between the terrain, as the lush, fertile land beneath your feet turns into a barren, windswept wilderness dotted with gorse and thistles.

The north wind brought the icy temperature of Freljord, the air became colder and colder, and the outer walls of the village became taller and taller.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the north is close to Freljord, a land of runes that is famous for its frost.

That place is in a low temperature environment all year round, and there are even wonders like snow in summer. Affected by this, the temperature in the northern border of Demacia is also low all year round.

Especially now that it is only the end of winter, and the temperature in various places has begun to warm up, but the temperature in the north has always been low. At this moment, it is raining, and the coldness has filled my body.

Although it was a rainy day, they thought they were almost there, so Lu Qi and the others sped up.

Along the way, the freezing rain from the north poured down, washing the jagged mountains.

This mountain range is the natural barrier between Demacia and the Freljord.

To the north, half of the plateau is covered with forest and is dotted with cliffs and rift valleys. This is a dangerous land, full of ferocious creatures and wild monsters.

Lucci and others arrived at Forsbarrow on the evening of February 7th.

The small town is built near the water, straddling both sides of the Mang River. The river originates from the mountains, meanders all the way, and finally joins the sea from the west coast. The flat granite city wall undulates along the mountain. Most of the houses in the city are built with stones, old wood and glazed tiles. To the east stands the tower of the Temple of Lightbringer, with a brazier at the top emitting warm light.

"Finally we're here."

The rain kept falling, and Lux ​​was riding a horse, feeling extremely tired looking at the town in front of her.

On the way up the mountain, her memory of why she didn't want to come here to worship her ancestors became clearer, and she experienced what she had experienced back then again.

Dark clouds gathered over the town, and Fosbairo looked a bit gloomy under the dark clouds. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lux immediately felt bad.

Lu Qi was also sizing up the town in front of him at this moment, his eyes slightly focused, with a vague feeling of bad foreboding.

But even if you come here, you have to go in.

"go in."

He took the lead towards the entrance of the town, followed by several people behind him.

As several people approached, two figures appeared on the sentry tower at the top of the iron gate. One of them raised his voice: "Who is it?"

"I am Lu Qi Light Shield." Lu Qi didn't want to talk nonsense and directly took out the symbol of royal status. A golden seal flashed golden light in the dim light of the evening: "Open the city gate."

The soldier looked carefully in the dim twilight, and the next second he exclaimed: "It's His Royal Highness, open the door!"

Accompanied by the sound of heavy iron chains twisting, the gate slowly rose and retracted into the city wall.

Lu Qi and the others waited until the gate was raised to a high enough height before entering the city. A hastily assembled courtesy formation was greeting them - ten soldiers in leather armor with silver brooches on their blue cloaks. , the shape is a unified double-winged sword.

They are proud Demacia soldiers, but at this moment, they can see a bit of difficulty and listlessness on their faces.

In other words, it's a little less energetic.

There was no chance of rain in this place, so Lucci took off his cloak, as did Lux, Sona, Poppy, Katarina, and Yourna behind him.

The nobility in the gestures and gestures of the group had almost confirmed their identity.

After seeing the golden-haired Lux, the soldier recognized her and bowed: "His Royal Highness, and Miss Crown Guard, please welcome them to Forsbarrow."

"Excuse me." Lu Qi asked aloud: "Who is in charge of Forsbarrow?"

"Currently, the highest-ranking person in the city is Judge Giselle. I will go and inform her of your arrival."

After the soldier finished answering, he turned around and left.

Soon another soldier came up and bowed: "Lord Giselle's mansion is over here, please come with me."

He began to lead the way, and several people put on their cloaks again and officially entered the town.

Not long after entering the town, both Lux, Sona, and even Katarina and Poppy felt a strange aura.

The perception of the latter two was not that keen, but Lux and Sona felt the dark magic surging in the dark almost at the same time.

Their expressions became more solemn, and they looked at Lu Qi in unison, and found that Lu Qi's expression was also serious.

He nodded and said, "Let's go see Giselle first."

Along the way, you can see a lot of people on the streets, but at a glance, they are not as energetic as the soldiers just now. Everyone is walking heavily and their expressions look very tired.

In Demacia, a town like this is a strange thing in itself.

After walking for about a few minutes, a figure followed a group of soldiers and hurried over to greet Lu Qi and others.

"His Royal Highness, Miss Crownguard, I am sorry to hear you come from afar."

The speaker was a brown-haired woman, wearing a furry ermine robe and the bronze-winged emblem of a Demacia magistrate. She was obviously Judge Giselle.

Lu Qi looked at her and said, "We are here to worship our ancestors. Is there any free accommodation available for us?"

"Of course, I will arrange a place for you right now."

Giselle immediately replied: "Before that, please sit in my mansion for a while."

It can be seen that even her mental state is not very good, there are heavy dark circles under her eyelids, and she is equally tired.

So before arranging a place to stay, the group of people first went to Giselle's mansion, which was a small building with an office and a home.

After entering, the furniture inside was very simple. After a few people sat down, Giselle started to provide hot water.

After a while, she came out carrying a warm kettle.

Lu Qi asked aloud at this time: "What happened in the town?"

"Did you also notice?" Giselle poured water into the cup and explained with a wry smile: "I am investigating the cause. Looking at it now, the town must have been disturbed by external forces. In short, the strange things are inexplicable. It’s coming.”

Lacus held the cup of hot water to dispel the coldness in her hands, and couldn't help but ask: "What's this weird thing?"

Giselle looked at her and thought for a moment: "I don't know how to describe it. It's probably a nightmare."

Lux looked confused: "Nightmare?"
