Chapter 418 [0415] Third Road: Lux and Galio

Since the troops are divided into three groups, each group naturally has its own goal.

Sona was trying to find out what Lestara was saying, and Peter, who was going to see Jarvan III, was also there, representing the opinions of the nobles who were close to the royal family.

Ino took Kalya deep into the depths of the Forbidden Magic Prison to determine the situation of the Silent Ones and, if possible, to win over the Silent Ones to act together.

As for Lux, what she had to do was to prove to the Noble Council that magic would not get out of control, that the greatest power would always be in the hands of the nobles, and that the normalization of magic would also be profitable for the nobles.

Unlike Sona and Ino, it was much more difficult to prove something than to figure out the attitudes of certain people.

Especially regarding magic, no matter from what perspective, it was not an easy thing to get the Noble Council to agree to loosen the chain around the neck of magic.

In order to achieve this goal, Lux, Ino and Sona spent the most time sorting out their thoughts, and finally, with the help of Kalya, they dismantled the problem.

The premise of profitability is stability, which is to make the nobles believe that magic will not subvert their rule, and even allow them to rule better.

For those who understand magic, this is an absolute false proposition - magic will bring about production changes and will react on the structure of the entire society.

However, because magic has been banned for too long, in Demacia, except for a small number of nobles who are close to the magic hunters, the silent people or the Illuminati, most of the nobles do not even have a basic concept of magic!

As the vested interests of the entire Demacia, they naturally have concerns about magic, but this concern is not that the widespread use of magic will promote the awakening of civilians and affect the rule of the nobles, but that magic is too dangerous and threatens the lives and property safety of the nobles.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Lux must find a way to dispel their concerns.

At this point, Lux's choice is to prepare a "bridle" that looks very restraining for the violent and unruly magic.

Why is Silas so destructive, but he was only imprisoned in the forbidden magic prison and not directly executed?

There is a little bit of "humanitarianism" in this, but more importantly, in the eyes of those who can decide Silas's fate, he is not a threat at all.

A young man who poses no threat can naturally be thrown into a dark prison, and he can be spared to show his kindness.

The same is true for magic.

If the nobles find that they can control the situation even if they loosen the shackles on magic, then if it is profitable to loosen the shackles, will they try it?

And now what Lux has to do is to give the nobles who don't know enough about magic an illusion, an illusion that "we can actually control the strength of magic."

When Ino visited the Silent Man, he gave Silas a chance to escape from prison.

At the same time, Lux quietly came to the outside of the city to help the sleeping Forbidden Stone Colossus replenish energy.

When the storm rises and falls, the nobles will find that the magic is nothing more than that, and they can completely control it as long as they master the Forbidden Stone.

Then, as long as Lux comes to show Galio how magic can bring convenience to the nobles... Then, there is no need to worry that the noble council will not stand on her side!

Just like that, with a brisk pace, Lux climbed over the city wall and slipped to the foot of the statue of justice outside the gate of the capital.

Then, seeing that there was no one around, she spread her wings of light and quickly jumped onto the shoulders of the statue.

The next moment, she put her hand on the shoulders of the statue.

"Wake up, big guy."

……………………

Outside the capital of Demacia, on the only way in and out of the city, the giant stone statue Galio, carefully carved by the carving master Duran, has been watching consistently.

Although summer has come to an end, the wind in the evening has gradually become cooler, and the number of caravans traveling to the capital has gradually decreased, but when the merchants from all over Demacia sell and buy enough goods from the market outside the capital and set off, the long caravan will still pay their respects when passing by this statue.

Because of the Artist Support Association, in recent years, more and more artists have come to Demacia to make a living. Some of them are extremely talented and have received sponsorship from the association, while others are coldly judged as "not talented enough" or euphemistically said to have "a promising future" and have not been able to become famous and attend noble banquets.

It is not easy to live in the capital. Most of these down-and-out artists who are good at painting have changed their jobs to become professional painters. When caravans from all over the country come to Demacia to do business in the summer, they will draw a commemorative portrait for them to earn the capital to live in the capital of Demacia.

Although even a poor painter cannot be hired by a single peddler, if many peddlers from the same place form a caravan and pool their money, they can still hire a painter to paint a picture.

For ordinary people, painting is a rare thing. Being able to leave a picture of themselves, even if it can only be left with many people, is a big thing that can make them hold their heads high!

As the iconic "building" of Demacia's capital, Galio, the Colossus of Justice, is the background chosen by many local caravans for drawing. There is no other way. Although the magnificent square, Dawn Castle, and Hall of Valor in the city are more representative, the sheriff will obviously not allow so many people in the caravan to line up in three or five rows and spend a morning or afternoon blocking traffic.

In comparison, the Colossus of Justice outside the city is iconic enough, and the surrounding area is spacious enough. More importantly, as long as there is enough space for painting and the most basic outline is drawn, the colossus and the people can be drawn separately.

Therefore, in the past few years, every summer, the area under Galio's feet will be particularly lively.

The painters here earn enough money to stay in the capital to become famous and study further, and the caravans leave behind an iconic group portrait scroll. Everyone gets what they need, and it can be regarded as a happy time.

However, no one could have imagined that while they were getting what they needed, the Colossus of Justice, which had always been used as a background, was actually silently observing these little people.

In other words, no one knows that Galio, the Colossus of Justice, has always been conscious, but he cannot move because of insufficient magic power.

As a pure Colossus of Justice made of forbidden magic stone, Galio himself is qualified to be a construct.

Well, it is not appropriate to say so.

It should be said that Galio, who is made purely of forbidden magic stone, can accommodate a magic upper limit that far exceeds most magic constructs in the ancient Shurima Empire. The act of making constructs with pure forbidden magic stone can be called "astonishingly luxurious" even in the heyday of the Shurima Empire.

If compared horizontally, the dock handling puppet driven by Zeli in Zaun New Port uses less than one percent of Galio's forbidden magic stone.

As Kalya commented, Duran's method of making Galio can only be described as a powerful brick flying - such a large piece of pure forbidden magic stone, even without any magic circuit depiction, can move freely as long as it is full of magic.

Therefore, since the unlucky Noxian battle mage group "Arcane Fist" used arcane missiles to charge Galio with a certain amount of energy at Greenfang Peak, Galio, as a construct life, has already developed consciousness.

However, because the energy was not full and there was a lack of organized magic circuits inside, Galio was always conscious but could not move freely.

In this way, the huge statue of justice stood outside the city of Demacia, watching the little people coming and going as a landmark building.

Galio knew that he was created by these little people, so he instinctively wanted to protect these little people, but what confused him was that these little people would change their appearance little by little over time and eventually disappear.

At first, Galio thought that the disappeared little people were like himself, and went to be repaired regularly-although he had never seen any little people like himself being pooped by the annoying crows, but he thought that even small people needed to be repaired.

However, as time went by, Galio gradually understood what those little people said, and then he realized that these little people were different from himself, and they would die.

Galio couldn't understand death at first. The death he could imagine should be the fragmentation of the statue-until later, a runaway child cried at his feet, and he realized that death was the eternal sleep after the disappearance of consciousness.

Just like when he hadn't woken up on the Greentooth Peak.

Galio was very sad to understand this. He didn't want these little people who made him and the children who made his little people to die.

Even after learning that these little people would die of old age as time passed, just like he would be eroded by wind and water, he still hoped to prevent them from accidentally dying for other reasons.

So, Galio would try to get himself moving when Demacia needed it, and then punch those guys who invaded these little people without hesitation!

However, the opportunity to punch hard was rare after all.

Most of the time, Galio could only stand here alone, observing the little people coming and going around him.

In the past few years, more and more people began to draw portraits of themselves, which made Galio very happy - he was very happy that he could be with those little people forever in the paintings.

Maybe these little people will go to the land of death, but at least they left those scrolls.

In the conversations of these people, Galio also remembered a name called Laxana. It was she who formed an organization called the Art Support Association, which allowed so many people who can draw to come here to draw for themselves and these little people who will die in the future.

Galio decided that if he could meet that Laxana in the future, as long as she was not afraid, he would definitely thank her.

Another caravan took their paintings, waved and got on the carriage, and left the Demacia capital. Although Galio could not wave to them, he wanted to smile happily - unfortunately, the face of the Colossus of Justice had no ability to move, which made him a little disappointed.

Then, just as Galio was looking forward to tomorrow's "photo partner", a warm little man fell on his shoulder.

The next moment, an astonishing magical power was injected into Galio's body.

"Wake up, big guy!"

Kalya's small class · Fist of the Arcane Mage Corps:

Fist of the Arcane Mage Corps is the largest mage corps in Noxus. In the Battle of Greenfang Peak, the Noxians hoped to completely defeat Demacia's defense through large-scale spell bombardment.

However, because the mage corps was too large, it was impossible to achieve joint spellcasting. The attack method of Fist of the Arcane Mage was to use the purest arcane to carry out the simplest attack - arcane missiles.

Then... the bombardment of spells hit Galio, who was not alive at the time, and this colossus made purely of forbidden magic stone was successfully activated into a magic construct.

Then, Fist of the Arcane Mage was disbanded.

PS. The foreshadowing of the Art Support Association was recovered. I didn't expect it!

PSS. There is another chapter in the middle of the night!
