On the last day of September, a military report of a great victory in the northern war arrived in Demacia City along with the cold wind from the south.
It dispelled a trace of anxiety among the people.
On the same day, Jarvan III ordered the lifting of martial law in the capital, and the whole city returned to normal life. Celebrations were held across the country to celebrate this victory.
In order to rely on this victory to dispel the overly uneasy national sentiment in the country, Jarvan III approved a large budget, but unfortunately it had no effect on those staunch anti-mage factions.
It is conceivable that Demacia will be in this "separated" conflict for a long time, but as long as it survives, it will be reborn!
The most intense battleground is the newspapers, with sharp and completely opposite arguments constantly occupying the headlines of major newspapers. There are also some ancient families who have been loyal and noble for generations and openly stand up to oppose it.
Because they were just expressing their opinions, they did not break any laws.
They have also become the pillars of many civil society organizations, making ever-firmer voices on their behalf.
It wasn't until a mage hiding among the people took the initiative to reveal his identity and published an article "Confessions from a Mage" in a nationally circulated newspaper, forming a clear opposition to the anti-mage faction who were actually firing cannons into the air (officially).
, now the two sides officially entered the ring and started fighting.
After seeing the confrontation between the two sides, the people quickly lined up and couldn't wait to join this great discussion that could sweep the country.
The nobles who were forced to represent the government breathed a sigh of relief, retreated behind the scenes, and silently controlled the situation.
Those innocent mages formed a mages association, and after gaining the support of the "mysterious man", they had a heated exchange of words with the big nobles.
"It's better to scold more." Jiawen III looked at today's newspaper with a smile: "Only with more discussion, the people's previous stereotyped impression of the mage will be changed!"
He was not at all as angry as the outside world said, but he was talking to Simmons and the prince with great joy.
"Next, we should create some outstanding images of mages. Well... what do you think of Inspector Shelley?"
"Ah, yes! And Lux!"
"Miss Crownguard is fine, but Inspector Shelley..."
Simmons' mouth twitched slightly. Two days ago, the gang had gone over to harass him carelessly! They even secretly gave him and Garcia an aphrodisiac!
Is this something a human can do?!
"What's up with him?"
Jarvan III looked at him.
"..."
"Father, I don't think so either." The prince shook his head slightly and continued: "Inspector Shelley, after all, guarded the palace and massacred many mages that day. I'm afraid it will arouse resistance among the mages."
"What you said makes sense!"
The third generation pondered for a moment, and then had no choice but to give up with regret.
"Forget it, that little girl Lux is fine. She just happens to be able to find something to do for the Crown Guards."
There is no doubt about the loyalty of the Crownguard family. If mages have a living space in Demacia, I will hope that Lux will become one of the leaders of that group of mages. At the very least, she must have enough voice!
Although the mainstream direction they are guiding now is that those mages who have struggled to hide are grateful to the royal family for their tolerance, the problem is that this topic cannot withstand careful scrutiny...
Where the hell were you all this morning?!
It would be really great if Lux could successfully penetrate into the mage!
The demon searcher group began the first round of self-examination under the guidance of Simmons. With those documents, Simmons already had a deep understanding of many of these "colleagues" whom he had never met.
The first round of self-examination is to find out those scum who are colluding with the high-level demon seekers. Simmons will never let go of any worm in the demon searchers!
They were the ones who destroyed the Demon Searchers!
He has been sleeping quite peacefully recently. Watching those crying sinners being hanged on the gallows, the twisted faces and tongues hanging out unconsciously before death can give him some kind of wonderful pleasure.
He even felt that the giant snake inside his body was growing vigorously!
The pair of vertical pupils became more and more frightening, and the terrifying majesty was slowly breaking out of his body.
A considerable number of demon seekers were hanged, and the documents for each case were handed over to each demon seeker. Simmons knew that they also needed a step to "reshape their faith."
When they recognize their sins, they will surely have many more helpers...
He believed so firmly.
…
On this day when the celebration was held and the streets were filled with joy, Chai Anping, wearing a slim and well-fitting suit, came to the Crown Guard's mansion again.
In the evening, under the witness of the Crownguard clan, he will officially take Lux out for a parade.
Of course, he didn't know it at this time, but Lux's parents had quietly rushed back from Mithril City, and it wasn't just Tiana who was waiting for him in the mansion...
"Gulu..."
Lux sat obediently in the corner, her eyes firmly locked on the lace on her skirt.
Tiana and her parents sat next to her, sipping tea and chatting about the upcoming Gracie Shelley contestant.
Her mother's teasing gaze made her extremely embarrassed, but fortunately, her father and mother showed no objection. They just wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at the young man who even Tiana praised.
"Inspector Shelley, please come inside... Marshal Tiana wants to see you."
"Uh...ok."
Chai Anping was stunned for a moment, then followed the servant through the door.
Entering the Crownguard's mansion again, Chai Anping followed the servants quietly, thinking about what Tiana might want to do with him.
Do you have something to say about your hidden identity as a mage?
Or do you still have any tasks that you want to entrust to yourself... This shouldn't be the case, right?!
I have made such a great contribution this time, do I still need to work hard to survive?
"Marshal, Mr. Shelley has arrived."
"Invite him in."
"yes."
The servant opened the door and bowed to invite Chai Anping in.
"Tiana Yuan...uh..."
"Ahem!" Chai Anping's expression suddenly became very exciting when he saw the people sitting in the room.
"Look, he is always very smart and can guess your identities without introducing himself." Tiana asked him to sit down.
Without any preparation, Chai Anping had no choice but to greet the amiable middle-aged couple with a stiff face.
What use is there to be fearless at this time? Galen would probably panic in this situation!
"The Inspector is really a talented person, no wonder he can charm all the young ladies in the capital circle." Lux's mother Ogesha said with a smile.
"My aunt was so complimentary. It was just a temporary excitement and it will naturally dissipate after a while."
Unable to tell whether this was an accusation from his mother-in-law, Chai Anping smiled awkwardly, glanced at Lux who was acting like a coward, and then turned his attention to Tiana's face.
She drank tea with a nonchalant expression, seemingly overcoming the pain of her husband's death.
The key is that she showed no sign of helping...
To the north!
Ogesha began to ask him eagerly about his future plans, as if she wanted to make suggestions for him.
Mr. Pitt looked at him with an incomprehensible expression, and it was hard to tell what his attitude was.
I just feel that while being kind, there is also a little bit of ferocity...
