"Is that so..." Galen smiled and pretended to be very interested.

He really has no interest in this kind of thing - this kind of small toy is not as good as his big sword.

Far worse.

He kindly concealed his disinterest, but there was still a hint of it in his eyes.

Chen Ce saw it.

But...this is still part of his plan.

He just wants the other person not to be interested.

"How about it, this is my last possession...it's very useful, really..."

Chen Ce also used his superb acting skills to pretend to be afraid of rejection.

"I know you may not be able to use it...but...but please believe me, it's really great...and my asking price is very low...just...give me a temporary place to stay and a meal." ……that's enough……"

Seeing the young man's cautious and humble posture, the kind-hearted Galen hesitated for a moment before finally letting go:

"I can see it's a treasure and your asking price is totally reasonable - yes, I'll take your deal."

"Really..." Chen Ce pretended to be surprised and his eyes widened.

"Of course it's true." Galen smiled, but soon showed a troubled expression.

"But it's still too early. I'm afraid I won't be able to find open hotels and restaurants for you, and I don't have any gold coins with me... You know, soldiers training doesn't need to bring useless things like that."

"Then..." Chen Ce also showed a hint of nervousness.

Galen thought for a moment and suddenly thought of a "good idea."

A good idea that Chen Ce expected.

"Don't worry, although I can't find you a hotel to stay right away, but maybe I can...invite you to my house to rest?"

"Ok?"

"You can take a shower and rest at my house first, and then you can use the money I give you to find a hotel later. How about that?"

"This is really a brilliant plan!" Chen Ce praised exaggeratedly, and then asked cautiously: "Then...food...?"

This question also stunned Galen for a moment.

But he quickly thought of a solution: "There's no need to worry. You go back with me now. My sister is making breakfast - please believe me, her cooking skills are no worse than those outside!"

"That's great..." Chen Ce nodded emotionally.

Everything is expected.

He had noticed earlier when observing Galen that this dedicated soldier would go out every morning with dry bread, apparently prepared the night before.

Then, a certain beautiful lady will definitely make her own breakfast at home - or let a servant do it?Well, the probability of this is relatively small. After all, people in the Crown Guard family don't like to be served-their philosophy is that everyone is equal.

"Let's go then." Galen patted the little brother's shoulder enthusiastically, "My family is quite big. If you are tired from rest, you can sleep directly. It's okay."

"Thank you so much..." Chen Ce was so moved that he almost cried.

Galen enthusiastically led the way.

At this time, he didn't know that his enthusiastic help would make his sister Lux...

The gears of fate began to turn quietly at this moment...

Chapter 62 Lux's Little Thoughts

Laxana Crownguard is up.

She sat up from the bed and stretched in the morning sunshine. Her graceful figure was reflected on the pure white mattress under the sunlight. The graceful lines told the girl's youth and beauty.

She doesn't like to put on makeup and simply washes her face after getting up. Even her clothes are pajamas that she took from the bed - as long as she doesn't go out, she can wear pajamas all day long.

But this still cannot conceal her extraordinary beauty - slender and graceful figure, beautiful facial features that always carry a smile, beautiful long golden hair and beautiful blue eyes.

Many elders who are also nobles even praised her as "the most beautiful girl in Demacia" - maybe some people just praised her casually, but others who kept introducing their sons to her really thought so.

But she didn't care about any of this.

She only cares about eating.

After washing up, she came to her favorite part of cooking and eating.

She hummed a little tune and got busy in the kitchen skillfully.

But just when she was about to turn off the flame and start eating, there was a sudden sound of the door opening outside.

Instead of knocking on the door, just open the door.She immediately guessed who it was, but she was still a little surprised.

The one who can use the key to open the door is naturally her brother, Galen Crownguard.

But...how could Galen come back at this time?Didn't he go to the military camp for training?

"Galen? Why are you back?" The girl's clear and melodious voice sounded in the kitchen and spread to the living room.

The man who opened the door, who was naturally Galen, responded with a smile: "I'll be back when I have something to do. Did you just get up, Lux?"

"Yes, I'm making breakfast." Lax, whose real name is Laxana, responded as she picked up the dinner plate and walked out, "It's already done, but I didn't do it for you."

"Oh, that's really bad." Galen shrugged, "I have eaten it, but some people haven't eaten it yet."

"Is there anyone?" Lux was a little confused.

Until she walked to the living room and saw another young man.

"This is Chen Ce," Galen introduced enthusiastically. "The friend I just made...this is my sister, Laxana Crownguard, but she prefers to be called Lax."

"Hello, Miss Lux." Chen Ce greeted with a smile, his simple clothes not covering up his almost instinctive elegance.

"Hello..." Lux was stunned.

Then she looked at the dinner plate in her hand, and then at the pajamas she was wearing that were not revealing but a little impolite.

A blush immediately appeared on her beautiful cheeks.

"Galen...! You should have told me in advance...!"

Boom!

Bang!

The dinner plate was placed on the table and the girl fled back to the room.

"Then I just met Chen Ce. Why should I tell you in advance..." Galen scratched his head and said to Chen Ce in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, this kid Lux ​​is like this, Mao Frizzy... She definitely doesn’t mean to hate you, she just thinks it’s too embarrassing to see people in pajamas.”

"I can understand." Chen Ce smiled and nodded.

Soon, the beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes walked out of the room again.

She put on a casual outfit. It couldn't be said to be very formal, but at least it didn't look casual.The white pleated skirt outlines the lines of her legs, and the silver headband makes her long, smooth golden hair look even more cute.She looks even more beautiful.

"Reintroduce yourself..." Lux is very young, but her lively character does not have stage fright.She enthusiastically extended a hand to Chen Ce. "My name is Laxana, Laxana Crownguard. You can also call me Lux - that's what I prefer my friends to call me."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Lux." Chen Ce shook hands with her.

Galen watched this scene with amusement, and then looked at the plate on the table - breakfast for one person. "Lux, could you please make breakfast for Mr. Chen Ce? I collected his things and still owe him a meal."

"Of course, no problem." Lux, who loves cooking and is warm and kind, agreed without even asking Galen what he had taken.She had already vaguely guessed that this was a "goodwill deal."

Soon, the smell of meat and eggs wafted from the kitchen again.

Galen asked Chen Ce to sit down, admiring the young man in his eyes - on their way back, he had heard about the other person's past.

The resistance forces in Ionia made huge sacrifices to protect their homeland and their country. After the war, they took the initiative to seek opportunities in other countries... Every soldier who defends their homeland and country deserves respect.

"You are really skilled." Galen recalled the scene when they first met. "It's no wonder you can serve as a squad leader in the Ionian resistance."

"Thank you." Chen Ce responded humbly while looking towards the kitchen from time to time, looking like he was about to starve to death.

Galen saw it.

After a while, he asked again: "What are your plans next? If you come to Xiongdu to look for opportunities...to do business?"

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult for me..." Chen Ce shook his head regretfully, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I know nothing except some trivial martial arts, and I know nothing about business... I don't know what I should do. Just do something."

"Well...it is indeed easy to lose money if you do business blindly..." Galen thought for a while and then said: "I think you can find opportunities from your martial arts."

"That's what I think too, Swordsman Captain Galen... I think I should be able to go to the dock to move cargo or something. At least I can make some money to support myself first."

"Going to the dock to move goods? No, no, no, it's such a waste of your skills."

"Then...become a security guard in a pub?"

"Ahem...I think you can take a longer view." Galen began to guide deliberately, "For example...return to your old profession...or something."

"What's your job?" Chen Ce pretended not to understand.

But in fact, he had already vaguely seen the other party's thoughts with the power of peeping into the devil.

That is the so-called [truth].

This talented general is doing what he expected...

"Believe me, friend. Demacia also has your stage." Galen suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was telling some kind of shady secret. "A profession...you can have a lot of privileges...you can contact anyone you want to contact..."

"Huh?" Chen Ce pretended to be confused and once again used the power of the devil to spy on the other party's inner thoughts.

Galen is far less powerful than Syndra, LeBlanc and others, but for ordinary people, he is still at the peak of his combat power. [Snooping] cannot completely see through all his thoughts.

But enough.

As long as I can see a little [truth]...

[Lie...] The voice of the spying demon Ram sounded in his mind - this is the characteristic of activating the ability.

Chen Ce got the answer.

So he quickly waved his hand, "No... I can't do this... On the one hand, my ability is not enough to support me with such a good treatment, and on the other hand... Swordsman Captain Galen, I don't want you to use your Power for me...it's just, you know. It's unfair to other people."

"It's okay." Galen smiled again and patted Chen Ce on the shoulder, "You gave me a great weapon... This is a reasonable deal, right? You give me benefits, and I give you convenience. We each get what we need.”

"No... Swordsman Captain Galen, please don't continue this topic..."

"It's really okay. No third person will find out... I have great power in Xiongdu. I can help you stop everyone's gossip."

"please do not……"

"Come on, I just need someone -"

"Swordsman Captain Galen!"

Chen Ce suddenly stood up and interrupted the other party with stern words.

"Please don't insult my personality!"

"..." Galen was silent.

"What's going on?" Lux immediately poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the noise, "Are you arguing? This is really too bad."

Chen Ce did not respond to Lux, but directly made a move to leave.

Until Galen laughed and pulled him back.

"No, we didn't quarrel." Galen first explained to Lux, and then said cheerfully: "This is just a joke, my friend."

"I don't think there's anything funny about this..." Chen Ce's frown remained.

Of course, his inner thought was: Yes, yes, let’s play like this!

"Your joke looks a bit scary." Lux patted her chest, which was still full, "You scared me... Do you know how serious the consequences this will lead to?"

"What consequences?" Galen was stunned.

Lux picked up the second breakfast she had just made.

"It makes me accidentally add too much salt."

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

I have to say that Lux's cooking skills are indeed good.

Chen Ce was very satisfied with his meal.

After breakfast, Galen immediately took out another exchange reward he had promised before - five gold coins.

Chen Ce took the gold coins without stopping and was ready to go out again.
