With Tariq's awakening of self-awareness, this battle can finally be declared over.
However, for Lux, the end of the battle is not the end of the entire incident.
Next, the reward and punishment for the entire incident is the top priority of everything - especially how to deal with the demon-stained people, which is directly related to the success of Lux's next move.
"Will the noble council really be willing to send them to Northern Xinjiang?" On the way back to Dawn Castle, Lux asked with some apprehension, "The scale of today's turmoil seems to have exceeded expectations."
"It wasn't necessarily possible at first, but now I dare to say it is certain." Kalya saw it clearly, "The nobles can not care about the lives and lives of civilians, but they cannot care about their own lives - now the Demonic Prison is no longer safe and has become
A time bomb, how could they allow this time bomb to be planted in Xiongdu and next to them?"
"But what if they want to directly kill all the mages?" Lux worried, "Wouldn't that be self-defeating and counterproductive?"
"No one wants to be such a villain." Kalya chuckled, "Although they are all scared to death, believe me, no one will show fear; and His Majesty Jarvan III is not a fool. He will directly execute Ran.
Demon, that can only plunge the entire Demacia into chaos, which is absolutely impossible."
"So, they would agree with both hands and hope to send these demon-infected people to the border?" Lux nodded, and said with some understanding in her heart, "Keep the danger away from yourself, and at the same time show your kindness?"
"That's pretty much it." Karya agreed, "The only variables are the Illuminati and Tariq."
Speaking of Tariq, Lacus was also a little confused.
There is no doubt that the Tariq now is completely different from the Tariq before.
But the gap here is difficult to explain clearly to many nobles - if possible, Lux does not want the Illuminati to have any real contact with the Titans, because once the Illuminati really has the background of the Titans, then Shuri
The Lieyang Cult of the Mar Empire is a lesson learned from the past.
The church with the true God and the church without the true God are completely different things.
Although Taric was ready to use death to wash away all his sins, Lux knew very well that what he had shown before was actually the will of the Guardian Titan and had little to do with him. In the final analysis,
Even if Tarik is a little off track at the moment, his crime will not lead to death in the end.
Therefore, when Kalya mentioned Tariq, Lux was a little hesitant.
"If you want to protect Tariq, I have a way, but it requires Tariq's cooperation." Kalya's tone began to become a little subtle, "He can admit that he was bewitched by standing aside, but he was bewitched.
It shouldn’t be a giant, but a demon.”
"Demon?" Lux blinked, unable to follow Kalya's train of thought, "What does this have to do with the devil?"
"Tariq has nothing to do with the devil, but if you say there is, then there is." Kalya chuckled, "You chose to leave the center of power, and everyone is still willing to give you this face - and besides, the Illuminati
I must also wish that Taric was bewitched by the devil and returned from the summit, but he no longer had Demacia in his heart. This kind of blow would be fatal to the Illuminati."
"..."
Lux was stunned for a moment after hearing this, blinked several times, and finally figured out the logic - "Tariq was bewitched by the devil" is not the truth, but it is a blow to herself, the Illuminati and even Germany.
Marcia's best results.
Even because there are two demons imprisoned here in Kalya, the disguise can be done perfectly.
For this best outcome, the truth doesn't matter.
Realizing this, Lux was a little relieved, but also a little sad.
"Karya, can't restoring the truth and getting the best results coexist?" Lux asked in a low voice, "We all know that this matter has nothing to do with the devil - maybe I can deceive everyone, but
I can't deceive myself."
"For individuals, sincerity is an excellent character." Kalya comforted softly, "I am very happy to see your sincerity and kindness - but in the whirlpool of politics, sincerity will only bring worse.
The result is that Demacia today cannot tolerate your sincerity."
Lux was silent.
"If you are sincere, you should denounce their shamelessness and condescension in your speech to the Parliament of Nobles, question the reasons why they are now rich and well-off, and clarify the development that magic can bring to this country." Kalya continued, "
But you know, there is no point in doing so, and it will only make the situation worse."
Lux remained silent.
"Because you are the eldest lady of the Crown Guard family, you can use relatively gentle methods to change Demacia, but Demacia is not Vazuan, not a city, it is a kingdom that stretches thousands of miles." Kalya.
His tone was low, "Kindness and kindness are your persistence and direction, but they must not be your means of doing things. I am a warning to you."
Lux was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she remembered what Kalya had said about the origin of the Icathia War - this made her unable to help being frightened, and she even couldn't help but shudder.
"Kindness and ugliness are the two complicated sides of human nature. Pursue one side completely without considering the other. Even if the purpose is good and the means are bright, the ending will lead to the abyss." Kalya sighed.
, "Lux, if possible, I don't want you to get involved in this, but even reform is not as simple as treating guests to dinner. Once Forsbarrow's future development shows results, there will be temptations and transactions from all directions.
Destruction will come one after another, and believe me, compared to violently overthrowing everything, and using lies to temporarily appease a group of guys who are destined to be swept into the trash, this is already a very gentle thing."
"...You're right." Lux took a deep breath, and a confident smile appeared on her face again, "I'm going to talk to Tariq. I hope he can cheer up and act with me.
Let's enjoy the show."
……………………
When Lux returned to Dawn Castle, the noble council all stood up to welcome her return as if they were welcoming a hero.
Until the imperial meeting began again, everyone's eyes were fixed on Lux's face, waiting for her to speak.
Jarvan III, who presided over the meeting, did not keep everyone waiting for too long and quickly asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"What the hell is going on? What just happened?"
"Tariq was bewitched by a demon." Lux looked calm, but it caused an uproar as soon as she spoke, "I just exorcised and captured the demon in him."
Everyone in the noble council was stunned.
Why does this involve demons?
In Demacia, demons are already an ancient legend. At this time, Lux suddenly opened her mouth and said that Taric was bewitched by demons... This, is this okay?
Just when everyone in the noble council looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment, the cardinal, who was already looking haggard and crumbling, quickly stood up as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Miss Angel is right!"
Good guy, Lux just called her a devil, and the Cardinal here just called her an angel?
What angel?
Wing sisters?
Looking at the Cardinal who seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw, the expressions of everyone in the noble council were a little too exciting for a moment.
"I'm not an angel, I'm just a climber." Lux, who was suddenly interrupted, was stunned for a moment, but she immediately refused the cardinal's hat, "But just now, I was indeed in the tower.
I sensed the aura of the devil on Ke."
As she spoke, Lux raised her left hand. In her palm, a disturbing-looking black shadow quickly appeared. Several nobles glanced at it subconsciously, and then all of them looked disgusted.
color.
Is there really a demon?
Everyone's attention turned to Tariq, who had lost an arm and a leg.
"There really are demons." Tariq, who was not good at lying, tried hard to maintain a calm expression. "This is because I was too careless - in fact, after returning from the summit, I went there once.
I left the embassy without permission, and there I discovered a cunning demon... I thought I had defeated it, but in fact it was the one who took advantage of my pride and controlled me."
When everyone in the noble council heard this, their expressions were a little subtle.
"Now that I think about it, the tragedy at the embassy was the work of the devil. Demacia, which is prospering, does not have the chaos it likes, so it created the tragedy and made it impossible for the Valoran Mutual Aid Alliance to be established."
For this kind of rhetoric that clearly means blaming the blame, it is impossible for everyone to accept it for a while, and there is no evidence for not accepting it. Therefore, no one directly questions it, but everyone's eyes are turned to Jarvan III, hoping
What can His Majesty the King say?
After Jiawen III thought for a moment, he quickly came up with an idea.
"Regarding the tragedy at the embassy, I have hired a special person to deal with it." Amid everyone's expectations, His Majesty the King spoke slowly, "Since Tariq said so, Laxana still has demonic power.
If you let him take a look at the remnant, he should be able to see it clearly."
Hearing what Jarvan III said, everyone in the noble council quickly understood the implication - obviously, the professionals here were mages that Jarvan III invited back from abroad before the climbers came back.
Although there are silent people in China, the embassy murder case involved foreign envoys after all, so inviting a "neutral person" to come is undoubtedly more convincing.
As a result, everyone in the noble council nodded, agreeing with Jarvan III's opinion, and hoped to invite the professional to come and take a look.
There is no need for foreign envoys to attend the Imperial Council, so if you want that professional to come over, you need to send someone to invite it. During this period, the Royal Council quickly reached a consensus on the chaotic issue of demon-contaminated people.
Just as Kalya expected, when Lux once again mentioned that she hoped to release the demon-infected people from the forbidden prison and send them to the border for "redemption", all the nobles nodded in agreement.
No one wants a ticking time bomb lying around them all the time.
However, some people still have different opinions on the punishment of the demon-stained people. Considering that many demon-stained people follow Silas and fight against the garrison soldiers, they believe that just letting them go to the north to guard the border cannot be used as punishment at all.
We must take heavy blows against these guys who are fighting with force!
Regarding this, Lux has already had a plan. She proposed that these demon-stricken people can be redeemed through labor, allowing them to repair the old fortresses in the north, build roads, and build bridges-"Compared to letting
They are wasting their time in prison, why not let them contribute to the construction of the kingdom."
Regarding Lux's statement, everyone's first reaction was "How can a demon-stained person work honestly?" However, when they think of the battle between Lux and Taric just now, and think of Galio's attitude of crushing all living beings,
They suddenly discovered that it seemed that the devil-infected people could indeed work honestly!
Hey, don’t mention it, it sounds like it’s really feasible!
Then, just when everyone began to discuss the responsibilities and obligations that Lux would need to bear after going to Northern Xinjiang, the guards came over to report that the Argen envoy had arrived outside the castle and was waiting to see him.
"Invite him in."
……………………
Arjen, who entered Dawn Castle, was no longer as cool and calm as before. He was trembling with fear, as if he were walking on thin ice.
This was not the first time he came to the capital of Demacia, nor was it the first time he met Jarvan III, but it was indeed the first time he realized the awesome side of this country.
In the past, Argen thought that Demacia was just a country of warriors. Although their country was large, had a large population, and was rich in products, Demacia, which rejected and banned magic, was nothing more than that to him.
Just a housekeeper dog!
Even though his Abermac did rely on Demacia, in his heart, Argen was still full of dissatisfaction - this was the Master's unique sense of superiority.
But today, after carefully observing the battle in the sky, Arjen's small sense of superiority was crushed to pieces.
There are mages in Demacia, and they are beyond my level of knowledge!
If Argen could still understand Galio's existence, then the battle between Lux and Taric would be a real fight between gods to him!
Seeing Arjen's expression almost sweating profusely, Jarvan III thought for a moment and understood the reason. An indescribable feeling of relief surged into his heart. Even if the old king tried his best to control it, the corners of his mouth finally curled up.
Slightly upturned.
"Special Envoy Algen." Jarvan III said with a smile, "Miss Laxana said that she found the murderer of the embassy case, and he was a demon - what do you think of this, Mr. Special Envoy?"
