Ino cleaned up his hands and started to transfer to Mithril City.
In the capital of Demacia, Lux's knighting ceremony finally officially began.
The grand square, which had been stepped on many times by Galio before, was finally repaired. Not only that, the royal family also funded the construction of a high platform specifically for the investiture ceremony. Its specifications were second only to the King's Speech when Jarvan III ascended the throne.
of high platform.
There is no doubt that Demacia will hold a special ceremony for this knighthood ceremony.
No one knows Lax's true plan. From the perspective of Jarvan III and the Noble Council, Count Laxana is an out-and-out model of nobility. Once again, she used a method that was close to self-sacrifice to stop the tentacles of the Illuminati.
Although gratitude is a rare quality for politicians, people usually will not begrudge a little face-saving preferential treatment to those who are "not a threat to themselves."
Look, we respect people who climb the mountain quite a bit!
……………………
On the day of the investiture ceremony, there were loud gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, and huge crowds of people.
As the host of the ceremony, Jarvan III "did his duty" and gave a king's speech after the ceremony began.
"Today, we stand here together to celebrate the birth of a new noble and the emergence of a brand new, noble family..."
"Miss Laxana, our climber, her return from the climb on Mount Targon represents God's favor to Demacia; she found the demonic murderer who caused the embassy tragedy, and she avenged those respectable friends and guests.
Hatred; she smashed the despicable Silas's conspiracy to cause civil strife, and guided the possessed demon-stricken people to welcome their own salvation. She used her own efforts to interpret fairness, justice, forgiveness and sacrifice..."
"And these spirits are exactly the Demacian spirits that every Demacian cherishes!"
"In order to praise this spirit, to carry forward this spirit, and to declare to the world Demacia's pursuit of fairness and justice, after the agreement of the Royal Council of the Nobles, Ms. Laxana was awarded the title of Count today, and Forsbarrow was
Demarcated as her personal territory..."
"We sincerely hope that she can bring this precious spirit to the north and to the borders of the kingdom, so that everyone can bask in the glory of Demacia..."
"Today, I stand here in the name of the King of Demacia and give you the scepter. I hope that you can overcome thorns and thorns like our ancestors..."
"Today, I stand here in the name of the King of Demacia and give you the seal. I hope you can fight like the ancestors who never give up..."
"Your title represents the glory of Demacia, and your name will be praised by the world together with the sages of the ancestors!"
"Demacia is blessed by heaven!"
Jarvan III's speech was not too long, but it was easy to understand.
The kind old king first told about Lux's achievements, and then traced the glory of the ancestors to explain that "Laxana became an earl because she, like those ancestors, represents the glory of Demacia."
.
Then, Jarvan III announced the decision of the Royal Council, delimited Lux's territory, and announced her rights and obligations in public.
After saying this, he took the scepter and seal that had been prepared from the new Cardinal of Xiongdu and handed them to Lux solemnly.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lux took the scepter representing military power and the seal representing political power handed over by Jarvan III with both hands.
When she turned around and raised them high above her head to show them to all the spectators participating in the ceremony, the crowd burst into cheers!
In the eyes of the people who participated in this investiture ceremony, today should be Count Laxana's most glorious day.
Becoming a noble is something that most Demacia civilians long for. The smiling Lux on the stage may be a true reflection of their "Demacia dream".
In the eyes of the nobles watching the ceremony, today is a day when Laxana asks for mercy and gets mercy.
After today, she will be far away from the capital and away from the public's sight. Their feelings for this noble model are somewhat complicated. Now that she is "harmless", many people even feel sorry for her.
(Of course, regret is regret, no matter how sorry you are, no one intends to keep you)
After obtaining the scepter and seal, Lux's knighthood was officially completed.
Next, she will deliver a speech as Count Laxana in front of thousands of spectators who come to watch the ceremony in the grand square.
This is an honor that only the first generation of nobles can have, and it is truly "the only opportunity in this life."
However, what people didn't expect was that although Lux always had a smile that met social expectations, her "success and fame" speech was unexpectedly short.
"I will inherit the will of my ancestors and take the glory of Demacia as my own responsibility." Lux's voice clearly appeared in everyone's ears, "I will remain committed."
The crowd once again burst into warm applause and cheers.
Although Lux was a bit too young, most of the residents in Xiongdu had seen the previous chaos, and also saw with their own eyes the scene of Lux fighting with her lightsaber high in the sky.
Therefore, everyone only has endless envy in their hearts for the new Count Laxana.
However, no one knew that at this moment, Lux, who was smiling and greeting the people, was thinking "I will come back."
This departure is a completely new beginning for Lux. She will stay down to earth in Forsbarrow and begin to accumulate her own strength. One day, she will definitely come back!
……………………
People who also think "I will come back" include Silas.
Silas, who absorbed the magic power of some of his comrades at the critical moment, jumped over the wall and left the capital of Demacia, and directly chose to head north.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Demacia's household registration management is not strict, but due to the conservative atmosphere, the flow of goods is not developed. No matter where it is, a hidden outsider is really too much.
A little more conspicuous.
Silas, who was very aware of this, "borrowed" a robe, wrapped the long magic stone chain around his arm, took the initiative to shave off his beard, and tried to hide his appearance as much as possible, and then
Started a crazy escape all the way,
Silas, who had an experience of escaping and being captured, knew very well that the best way to avoid the pursuers was not to deceive the pursuers, but to leave before the local sheriff received the news.
Go to the next target location to avoid being blocked by the demon seekers.
This is easy to say but extremely difficult to do - for this kind of urgent news, the capital has always used dragon bird knights to deliver it. In less than two days, large cities with dragon bird perches will all
Received news from Silas.
Therefore, Silas never took major roads or big cities along the way. He only took country roads and slept in the wild. Even if this would be more conspicuous, it was better than leaving too many clues in a big city and being blocked.
As for the ultimate goal of escaping... Silas has many places to choose from.
The first is Noxus - as an old rival of Demacia, the Noxians not only do not reject magic, but also highly pursue it. Silas believes that with his talent, there should be no one even in Noxus.
How many people can compare with me.
However, despite being wanted by Demacia, Silas was still unwilling to go and work for Noxus - it was not that he had any grudge against Noxus, Silas simply felt that Noxus was not worthy.
No way, in recent years, Noxus has been in trouble. First, the Ionian War was pushed back, and it almost went to sea; then, the civil war began, and the brothers fought against each other.
During this period, Noxus deliberately disrupted Demacia's tournament, but in the end it made Demacia's Shield famous...
After a lot of twists and turns, Silas's understanding of Noxus was already that of "a declining empire."
Although Noxus is actually very powerful, you can't expect a prisoner who has been in prison for more than ten years to have a deep and clear understanding of the international situation.
After excluding Noxus, the many principalities in Valoran continent sandwiched between Demacia and Noxus are no longer possible.
Noxus looked down upon them, so how could Silas look down on these principalities and city-states?
Escape is only one aspect. In addition to escaping, Silas also desires and brews revenge.
The damn nobles, the damn demon seekers, the damn Colossus, and that damn Laxana!
Silas is obviously not willing to just spend the rest of his life in anonymity after escaping from prison. He is eager for revenge, eager to clean up all the nobles, and let the demon-stained people in Demacia understand that demon-staining is not a mistake, but an unparalleled task.
talent!
To complete his revenge, Silas needs to find a place that can support him enough to carry out his revenge.
He looked down upon Noxus, let alone the many city-states and principalities that were sandwiched between Demacia and Noxus and could only serve as mere facilitators?
After eliminating a lot of options, Silas was embarrassed to find that he didn't know anything else.
In desperation, he risked being discovered and sneaked into a town. He slipped into the town hall at night, and then took a map from the wall of the office hall.
After hurriedly escaping from the town, Silas spent a long time studying this map.
Then, after looking at it, his eyes fell on the Freljord in northern Demacia.
……………………
There is no doubt that Silas has never been to the Freljord - not even to the North when he was working for the magic seekers.
In Silas' knowledge, Freljord is a relatively cold and desolate place, where a group of "uncivilized" barbarians live, and these barbarians will go south to plunder before winter comes.
Plunder - gone.
Silas obviously did not have an objective and clear understanding of the coldness of the Freljord.
In his opinion, cold is not terrible, cold is also a kind of power.
Considering the magic used by the girl who gave him the revelation, Silas thought that he might be able to cope with the cold.
With this thought in mind, Silas put away the map and began to turn his head north.
Traveling all the way and staying overnight, Silas felt the "coolness" brought by the high altitude and high latitude, and after "borrowing" a lot of heavy clothes, he finally arrived at the northern border of Demacia.
Taking out a little bit of rope he had saved, he started climbing - according to the markings on the map, as long as he climbed this mountain peak, he would leave the land of Demacia and enter the Freljord.
There, I will accumulate my own strength, and then use this strength to fight back to Demacia, letting those despicable nobles see my anger and revenge!
