Faced with the demands of Jarvan III, Arzhen was naturally the only one.
So, he was brought in front of Lux - many nobles made way for a rather spacious place, allowing Argen to feel the energy that would make him unable to sleep well just by looking at it.
Arzhen was angered by Dili Pass before.
After seeing the battle between Lacus and Tariq, Arzhen could only follow Lacus's wishes even if he didn't get the news in advance.
More importantly, what Lux demonstrated was Evelyn's power, and Evelyn was the murderer.
In this case, Arzhen did not hesitate and nodded directly, confirming that the owner of the demonic power in Lux's palm was the murderer of the embassy murder: "It's this kind of power. I was in the embassy the day before yesterday."
After careful investigation, this strange energy has tortured me to the point where I haven’t had a good rest in the past two days!”
Done!
With the "third-party witness", the logic of the whole thing seems to have formed a closed loop smoothly: Tariq, who returned from the summit, was unwilling to go to the embassy where the murder occurred, hoping to make up for the consequences of his dereliction of duty.
As a result, he was bewitched by the demon who stayed there and fell into extreme paranoia, so he did wrong things.
Now that Lux has set things right, Tarik has come to his senses and repented. The two of them worked together to severely damage the demon, and finally no more mistakes were made again...
Regarding this explanation, both the noble council and Jarvan III had somewhat subtle expressions.
In their opinion, this is quite a coincidence, but the evidence is here, and there is Arzhen as a witness. No matter how weird the thing is, it barely makes sense.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, this result may be better for everyone.
Silas's escape was an accident. Although Taric's initial performance was somewhat problematic, at least the demon-stricken escape did not have a too bad impact - except for the casualties among the garrison soldiers, only the Grand Plaza was destroyed by Gary.
Ao stepped on and damaged part of it.
The nobles did not care about the casualties of the garrison soldiers. What they cared about was that the Illuminati had suffered a serious setback.
The cardinal, who vowed to abdicate in favor of someone new, just didn't realize that Tariq was bewitched by the devil. When Tariq was bewitched by the devil and tried to expand the chaos caused by the devil, he even strongly agreed and almost made a big mistake.
.
After this incident, let alone the Illuminati reaching out to the secular realm, Jarvan III did not directly hold the Illuminati accountable, which was already giving them face - although today's imperial meeting did not involve the issue of the Illuminati, but nothing unexpected happened
If so, the Cardinal will leave his job and go into seclusion after the meeting, so as not to expose the entire Illuminati to criticism.
This is undoubtedly a brilliant victory for the Council of Nobles!
If you, the Illuminati, are not good at it, you don’t even know if there is something wrong with the people who climbed the mountain. At times like this in the future, you should stop talking!
As the biggest contributor to the collapse of the Illuminati, peak climber Lux will naturally be rewarded.
Rewarding Lux was originally a troublesome thing, but Lux herself said that she asked the North to guard the border and give the demon-stained a chance to redeem themselves... Then everyone naturally raised their hands in approval!
Look, what a good person this is. He shattered the Illuminati's wishful thinking, and then, without taking any credit or being arrogant, he directly applied to go to that ungrateful place in the north without causing any embarrassment to anyone. We must be ruthless towards such people.
Praise me very much!
Anyway, compliments cost nothing, and they don’t require us to carve out a piece of territory. If complimenting people can solve the problem, then why not do it?
Suddenly, praise and compliments poured in to Lux, and she seemed to have once again become a model for all nobles in Demacia!
Amidst all the praise, Lux clearly maintained her sanity - or in other words, these people's praises were what she expected. The more they praised, the more ridiculous Lux thought they were.
What Kalya said is correct, these people are a group of people destined to be swept into the garbage heap. They only have their own interests in mind and have completely lost their responsibility and responsibility as decision-makers of a country!
Therefore, no matter what kind of praise she faced, Lux was determined to achieve her goal and would never let go: she wanted a name to go to the North and a name to redeem those infected with evil!
Faced with Lux's request, after some deliberations, the Imperial Council finally made a decision.
Laxana Crownguard will be granted the title of earl and become independent from the Crownguard family. Forsbarrow and the surrounding areas without lords will be granted to her as a fief.
Due to the bitter cold on the border, Earl Laxana does not need to pay taxes to Xiongdu within five years, and the taxes will be halved within ten years.
Of course, considering that Fosbarrow currently has almost no tax revenue sent to Xiongdu, it can be said that even if it is divided up and the tax revenue is not collected in the first ten years, the Xiongdu royal family will still make a profit.
Regarding the military issue, this part is also relatively easy to solve.
According to Demacia's rules, lords whose fiefdoms are located on the border are eligible to support a private army based on local conditions - unlike lords in the hinterland of the kingdom who usually only arrange security guards within their fiefdoms, lords whose fiefdoms are located on the border
We dare not rely solely on the legions stationed nearby.
You know, Demacia has always followed the route of elite soldiers. Although almost all of Demacia's soldiers are wearing armor, and those who can ride horses have war horses, the number of them is not large.
Relying on the kingdom's water transportation advantages, Demacia's elite soldiers can be quickly assembled and transported from various camps. However, they are somewhat unable to defend the border. Therefore, for border defense, Demacia has always implemented local militia to station elite soldiers.
Support policy.
The Forsbarrow area is important because it is the regular route for Freljord barbarians to raid south. It is obviously not an easy task to maintain the defense here.
When Fosbarrow had no lord, Xiongdu had to increase the number of Forsbarrow's legion, use the elite soldiers as militiamen to defend the city, and at the same time directly request local supplies from the Forsbarrow people, and add additional
The supply of materials from the Xiongdu was able to maintain the stability of the area and prevent the Freljord barbarians from breaking through the pass and going south to plunder.
And now that Lux is going to become the lord of Forsbarrow, she will naturally have to shoulder the military responsibilities as a lord!
Anyway, you still have to redeem those who are possessed by demons. Since it is redemption, then you should all become militiamen.
In this way, Lux easily obtained the policy conditions for free recruitment of militia. According to the common wishes of the Noble Council and Jarvan III, as long as you can afford it, all the people in the Forsbarrow area can be mobilized. As long as the northern border is not allowed to
The barbarians broke through the defense line, and everything was easy to talk about.
Obviously, the defense of the northern border was regarded as a burden and was dumped on Lux, but Lux accepted it happily.
She has been to Forsbarrow. Although the geographical conditions there don't look very good, they are no worse than Nerimajie, which has snowy mountains on one side and a desert on the other.
To the noble lord, Forsbarrow is a barbaric place where no oil or water can be found, but for Lux, it is a new beginning where you can truly show off your talents!
Moreover, Xiongdu even fully "supported" more than a thousand demon-stained people to follow him!
More than a thousand mages whose talents are so good that they need to be imprisoned in the Forbidden Prison!
You know, when they were in Zaun, Lux and Ino were picking and choosing, and they only found more than a hundred children with good mage talents.
Good thing now, with a wave of hands from the Noble Council, the entire prisoners in the Demonic Prison are all under the control of Lux!
Although many of these prisoners are resentful towards Demacia, in Lux's view, except for a few die-hards, most of them can be reformed.
Moreover, on the surface, it seems that there are more than a thousand demon-contaminated people, but don’t forget that behind every demon-contaminated person, there is a family of his own!
As long as they feel that Forsbarrow does not reject them and let them believe that magic is not a mistake here, then their families will be happy to come to Forsbarrow.
Demacia is very big, and Demacia has a large population. As long as they are gathered together, even if it is just a population related to magic, it can be enough to support Lux's ideals and support a huge revolution that completely changes Demacia and even the entire Runeterra.
change.
Even though Lux doesn't have much capital for the time being, this remote rural area that is not noticed by the capital can still amaze everyone after being carefully watered!
