"Miss Crown Guard, there is... uh, a mage who claimed to have participated in the attack on the palace and wants to see you."
"Well?"
Lux immediately raised her head in surprise when she heard this: "Is this the first person to have the courage to confess his identity?"
Currently, some of the mages registered in the association must have participated in the attack, but no one dared to admit it. On the one hand, Lacus and the others did not want to investigate further, so they just let it go.
The female deputy nodded: "Yes, she is a young lady."
"Invite her in quickly!"
"Yes, because her abilities are somewhat special...she has voluntarily put on the magic stone bracelet."
"Forbidden Demon Stone? That's very painful..." Lux immediately frowned: "No need, let her take it off quickly."
"Uh... But her ability is related to mind control. Officer Rodney told her not to let down her guard."
"Mind control?!"
Lux's eyes suddenly widened - this ability seems...
"You'd better invite someone in quickly!"
She straightened her sitting posture and quickly drank some water to moisten her throat.
The originally simple "Mage Registration Office" has now been officially established, and its name has been changed to the "Mage Association". It is very large. The mages included in the association system will automatically recognize the upcoming "Mage Regulations".
Lux took the lead in promising equal treatment to the mage group. At this time, she was already a spiritual leader in the association.
The Mage Regulatory Institute commanded by Simmons still remains independent, intimidating this group of extraordinary powers.
Lux squeezed her hand, her white green fingers showing tension in her buttocks.
“Tuk-tuk!”
"Please come in!"
Ailebella Green pushed open the door and walked in. Like Lux, she had beautiful long golden hair and was extremely beautiful.
They had looked at each other across the cage in the dungeon, and Elabella didn't know Lux's identity at that time.
Later, when Silas led the mages to attack the palace, Ellerbella secretly watched Lux in the dark - the kind who interacted with Chai Anping.
Therefore, the two of them are not strangers. They have a "first-hand acquaintance" with each other, and they even thought that the other did not know their existence.
"Hello, Miss Crownguard." Elebella bowed slightly: "My name is Elebella Green. I was once imprisoned in the dungeon of the Demon Seeker Prison, and I also participated in the attack on the palace."
"I already know."
Lux stood up and pointed to the chair in front of the table, inviting Elabella to sit down.
"This is the girl who lived with Gracie..."
"This is the person Gracie likes..."
The two of them fell into a strange silence when they looked at each other, as if there was an invisible prism in the air that separated them into two worlds.
"cough--"
In the end, it was Ailebella who came to her senses first: "I came here to admit the crimes I committed, but...if maybe what you said is true, I hope to gain real freedom."
"Ah...ah!"
Lux replied in a panic: "His Majesty has pardoned you for attacking the palace, so no one will pursue this matter again. On the contrary... our association is vigorously looking for those who were once detained in the Demon Seeker Prison.
We hope that we can make due compensation to the innocent civilians."
"compensate?"
"Yes - you can look at this announcement from five days ago."
Lux took out a stamped notice from the drawer and handed it to Ellerbella.
"These are the compensations promised by His Majesty. Here, there is also His Majesty's signature. Ah... please don't use so much force. After all, this is the original notice!"
Ellerbella, who was a little excited, quickly put down the crumpled document after hearing this.
"I'm so sorry!"
Ellerbella began to read the regulations carefully, and the word "conscience" seemed to be written all over it.
"But it should be noted that if you have ever actively committed a crime without being harmed because of your identity as a mage, then we will conduct full investigation and evidence collection and reserve the right to arrest..."
"..."
Hearing this, Ellerbella sat up straight: "Does theft count?"
Lux: "Uh...huh???"
Lux was confused. The issues discussed during their meeting were all major crimes such as malicious wounding and homicide. Theft seemed not to be included in the discussion...
Besides, why steal?
Ellerbella continued: "And it was... multiple thefts."
The two of them stared at each other, before Lux replied in a strange tone: "In view of the special circumstances, maybe we can take... Is there a large amount of money involved?"
Ellerbella said calmly: "I can't remember clearly."
It is simply too easy to use her ability to deceive other people's perceptions, and then just take other people's money. How can she have the intention to make money herself!
"..."
It can’t be cured, there is no hope!
Why don't you go to the Public Security Department and check how many of those people's wallets you touched?!
Lux was already dumbfounded in her heart - What's going on with Chai Anping's childhood sweetheart? I've never heard of it?!
"We'll discuss this matter later. Why do you want to see me specifically?"
Lux waved her hands sadly, feeling a painful sense of disillusionment in her heart.
Ellerbella's face became serious after hearing this: "In fact, among the team of mages who attacked the palace, some people firmly did not believe the official announcement of Demacia, and they chose to hide or leave Demacia.
And some, like me, hope to get...real equality and fair opportunities, and there are a group of people behind me who also hope to join the Mage Association."
"That's great!"
Lux said in surprise: "This is a good opportunity for publicity!"
After so many days of work, she already understands the importance of public opinion warfare.
"With the protection of public opinion, you will be safer. No one can easily manipulate you." Lacus counted the benefits to Ellerbella with her fingers: "And there is also a supporting compensation mechanism. Of course their
The identity must also be verified in more detail...but just because of a bad guy, we can't let those with ulterior motives seize the opportunity to make a fuss."
Elabella was stunned when she saw Lux's energy, which seemed to be even more enthusiastic than hers.
She seemed to understand why Lux could get so much recognition and support from the mage community. Because she was more sensitive to emotions, she became more aware of the sincerity shown by Lux at this time.
"Thank you for your support, Miss Crownguard."
She covered the sign with her hand: "I am ashamed of our suspicions."
"No, no, no! You are right to be cautious."
Lux said seriously and gently: "You have been tortured by this country's sick laws for too long, and you deserve all these rewards! I was only spared the torture because of luck, and now I am proud that I can be a mage.
We are proud to contribute to our rights and interests.
So, please remove the magic stone bracelet from your wrist, and free will will return to Demacia, my countrymen."
