Kapitel 146: -143- Luxanna Crownguard
On January 27th, Linwin was about to receive guests.
The Demacian envoy had arrived.
As a prominent figure in Piltover and Zaun, Linwin didn't necessarily need to personally welcome the guests, but his curiosity got the better of him.
He wondered who had come from Demacia.
If there were soldiers from the Dauntless Vanguard, Linwin was genuinely curious to see how formidable they were.
After all, Demacian soldiers were known for their exceptional physical abilities, each one resembling a mini-superhuman.
Linwin was also intrigued by the comparison of the physical strength of these mini-superhumans to Vander.
With the addition of Hextech by Vander, how many Demacian mini-superhumans could he handle?
In any case, his curiosity led Linwin to the airship center.
When a zeppelin adorned with the majestic lion flag appeared, Linwin knew that the Demacian delegation had arrived.
As the zeppelin docked, a confident woman descended first. She wore an elegant white noble gown, but underneath, she donned trousers and combat boots. This mismatched outfit didn't look strange on her; instead, it added an unusual charm.
With shoulder-length hair, similar to Zeri, Seraphine, her hair also had gradient colors, a mix of burgundy and peach.
"..."
Seeing her, Linwin immediately recognized her.
Blinking, Linwin truly didn't expect Fiora to lead the Demacian delegation.
This was Fiora Laurent, the Grand Duelist!
Linwin squinted, looking at Fiora, attempting to sense any threat she might pose.
In that instant, as if feeling Linwin's gaze, Fiora also looked toward a certain direction in the crowd.
But upon seeing Linwin, standing tall, Fiona raised an eyebrow.
"Did I overthink it?"
Whispering to herself, Fiora shook her head.
This "slender" man couldn't possibly pose a threat to her.
Then, what was that feeling just now?
The fleeting moment made Fiora sense a life-threatening aura.
However, it didn't panic Fiora; instead, it briefly excited her. She loved challenging strong opponents, the stronger, the better.
In Demacia, Fiora had participated in numerous tournaments, often coming out as the undisputed champion.
Now, she was, without a doubt, the most powerful among the younger generation in Demacia.
"I am Mel, a councilor from Piltover. We welcome our friends from Demacia who have come from afar. If our hospitality falls short, please forgive us. We have been very busy lately."
Mel was the first to step forward, smiling.
"Don't worry, Councilor Mel. I am Fiora from the Laurent family. Feel free to call me by my name." Fiora shook her head at Mel.
The Laurent family members were generally cheerful, and Fiora, while being the most stable among the younger generation, was still more upbeat than most Demacians.
On this journey, she was extremely happy.
After all, she had stepped out of Demacia!
She had never left Demacia!
No traveling beyond its borders was permitted; it was a crime!
Therefore, maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface, Fiora, who was actually extremely excited, had already scanned the surroundings with her peripheral vision. She was looking for someone who could be her opponent.
Fiora hoped to find suitable opponents in Piltover and Zaun, places that had repelled Noxian invasions. Her constant yearning for powerful adversaries led her to inspect the people present, but she ended up disappointed.
With a hint of resignation in her eyes, Fiora walked forward. She had overestimated Piltover and Zaun. Among the high-ranking officials present, Fiora didn't identify anyone worthy of challenging her.
Approaching Mel, Fiora whispered, "Councilor Mel, what is the relationship between Piltover and Zaun?"
"As you can see, our two cities have put aside differences and formed an alliance," Mel replied.
Fiora nodded, having been informed of this possibility by Marshal Tianna before coming.
Although the situation was delicate, Zaun's assistance indicated a gesture of goodwill towards Piltover, which served as a positive signal to Pilties.
"I'd like to know the date of the Twin Cities Day that Piltover and Zaun wish Demacia to witness," Fiora inquired.
"Sorry," Mel apologized, shaking her head. "The date for Twin Cities Day hasn't been decided yet, but it shouldn't take too long. In the meantime, you're welcome to stay in Piltover or Zaun, and all expenses will be covered by us."
Mel expected Fiora to furrow her brow, but Fiora's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"No problem, we can wait."
Ha!
Great news!
Initially, Fiora thought this trip might last only a few days, but now it seemed it could be extended.
Keep in mind that Demacia had sought the help of the Twin Cities, so Demacia wouldn't return home just because the date for Twin Cities Day was undecided.
Therefore, when Aunt Tianna asked later, Fiora could confidently respond.
Finally, she revealed a smile, "As for where to stay, everything is up to you. We will follow your command, Councilor Mel. Thank you."
Mel nodded.
Demacians differed from Noxians; they upheld justice, integrity, and humility.
Therefore, Fiora believed Demacians wouldn't oppress the weak.
"This is our 9th Councilor in Piltover, Linwin, and he is also one of the highest authorities in Zaun."
Linwin promptly approached, cheerfully greeting Fiora and extending his hand.
Seeing this, Fiora frowned slightly. Was this a handshake? Such formalities were unnecessary in Demacia, but Fiora still extended her palm.
"Zaun welcomes Demacia."
"Thank you."
After letting go, a cloaked figure behind her, started wandering around. Unlike the Demacian soldiers, this figure looked lively and had already moved to a corner.
Seeing the situation, Fiora had no choice but to approach and pull the person over.
"Councilor Linwin, Councilor Mel," Fiora said, hugging the slender figure. She was about to introduce, but the person Fiora embraced directly removed their hat, revealing a charming face.
Spitting out the golden strands of hair in front of her, the girl smiled and extended her hand. "Hello, Councilor Linwin."
Watching the golden-haired girl, almost as tall as Powder, Linwin was momentarily entranced.
Soon, he extended his hand, smiling, and replied, "Hello."
"I am Luxanna Crownguard," she said with a cheerful smile. "But I prefer it when people call me Lux."
Linwin nodded. "Hello, Lux."
