Chapter 43 Silas

"Why is Xiongdu so busy recently? I heard that many children from noble families run to the duel field every day. Matt, have any nobles launched a glory challenge in the past few days?"

On Throne Mountain, Jarvan III put down a document from Ore Town and looked up at his butler.

Met, who stood upright next to him and put a handkerchief on his arm, immediately replied: "No noble has launched a glory challenge recently. The reason why the capital is so lively is that people are discussing one thing, about Laurent. Fiona of the family, and the knight Rowan sponsored by the Bouvier family. "

Before Jarvan III could ask further questions, Mate continued: "This is the most lively thing in Xiongdu recently. People are curious whether Miss Sword Princess will continue to win all the way, or whether the Black Lion Rowan will break Miss Sword Princess's undefeated record. Become the new master of Demacia's dueling arena."

"Rowan?" Jarvan III's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, and he said, "According to Halgold and Lestara's letters, the Rowan I know is not a man who pursues glory. , maybe even a relatively lazy person, why would he go to the duel? And with his strength, there is no point in going to the duel, right? "

"." Matt was silent.

After a while, he bent down and said: "It may be related to an incident nine days ago."

"explain."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Nine days ago, Sona, the adopted daughter of the Bouvier family, went to the duel field accompanied by Rowan. After the second duel at noon, a mage appeared in the audience, causing commotion on the scene. The demon seekers quickly arrived at the scene. And captured the mage who caused the turmoil."

"I know about this, but what does this have to do with Rowan?" Jiawen III frowned.

Regarding this matter, Jarvan III was still unable to sleep that night, because when he saw the documents presented by the soldiers, he fell silent after reading them.

Nine years old, no casualties were caused, but he was handcuffed and shackled and sent to prison for investigation.

Jarvan III's first thought after reading it was that even if this child successfully drank the forbidden magic water and abolished the magic and came out, would he still be as passionate about Demacia as before?

"He had a conflict with the demon hunter." Met said. "When the demon hunter arrested the mage, Rowan stepped forward to stop him. In fact, it was not an obstacle. He just asked the demon hunter captain not to handcuff the mage. , but the request was rejected, and then he withdrew."

"." Jarvan III tapped the table with his fingers, with a calm expression on his face. After a while, he said, "Mate, which faction do you think Rowan prefers?"

"." Matt lowered his head.

"I asked you to say it, just say it, what are you worried about?" Seeing Mate lower his head and say nothing, Jarvan III laughed angrily. He knew that Mette was full of affection for the boy. For no other reason, Mette was also a commoner who gradually climbed up to the Given his current status, he has an innate fondness for civilians, especially polite and capable boys.

"I'm not going to use Demacia's future as a pawn. I'm not that stupid." Jarvan III said to Mate.

"I think Rowan is biased towards mages. It's not hard to hear what he said that day. Your Majesty, he is the same as you. He also thinks that there are problems with Demacia's current system." Mete replied.

"Yes. There is something wrong with Demacia's current system." Jarvan III's eyes became melancholy. After standing up, he suddenly said: "Barrett came to me before, hoping that I could give him a peerless sword. I didn't refuse, but I didn't agree either. I was going to drag that guy along. Who told him not to come to me for a drink when he returned to Xiongdu? I only have a few friends, but he is still avoiding me." Jiawen III revealed. Smiling, he continued: "Meite, arrange for someone to go to the palace to hide it secretly and take out the dragon stone sword."

"Your Majesty?" Matt raised his head.

The Dragonstone Sword was Demacia's marshal's weapon three hundred years ago. Tiana of the Crownguard family has been coveting that sword for a long time. To say how precious the sword is, it's not like that.

Because with the rise of national power, Demacia has become stronger and stronger, and the craftsmanship and forging technology of craftsmen have also been improved. Therefore, the weapons now made are more useful than the previous weapons.

Therefore, the weapons Tiana now possesses are among the best in all of Demacia, but the Dragonstone Sword is different. It was the weapon of Marshal Green, who once dazzled the battlefield in Demacia and was unparalleled in fame. The sword is a symbol of status and inheritance.

Like the Hammer of Auron, that weapon was given new meaning.

And now, Jarvan III

Met responded: "Your Majesty, he is still young, and with his merits."

"You are thinking too much. I gave that weapon to Barrett because of him. Tiana is loyal to me, but the Crown Guard is not necessarily so, especially today's demon seekers. It's getting more and more advanced. This is my reminder to them that this country is not a world of demon seekers, and mages are also my people." Jarvan III looked at Mate coldly and said.

Met also realized that he had overstepped his rank. He was the spokesperson of the king's order. He could not have his own thoughts. So, Met lowered his head and said, "Meite, I apologize to you."

"No, wait a little longer. When he wins Fiona, give the weapon to Madam Bouvier, and Madam Bouvier will hand it over to him." Jarvan III touched his chin, and the complaining old man smiled evilly, as if I thought of something interesting.

Met nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Hey, lady, did you go the wrong way? This is not the place you can come to."

In the passage leading to the damp dungeon, Lux saw two soldiers holding oil lamps.

Frowning, Lux raised his neck, "I am Laxana Crown Guard, are you going to stop me?"

"Laxana Crown Guard?!!"

"Sorry, sorry, sir, please wait, we will let the captain come over immediately."

The two soldiers showed panic expressions on their faces, and then one was responsible for apologizing to Lux, and the other ran out.

A moment later, a little old man with a beard appeared in front of Lux. He wiped the sweat from his temples and asked respectfully: "Excuse me, what are you doing here?"

"I need to investigate something." Lux took out the emblem of the Crown Guard family and said to him.

"This"

"What is this? Do you want my aunt Tiana Crown Guard to ask you?" Lux said immediately.

When he came to Xiongdu, the first thing Galen taught Lux was how to use the reputation of the Crown Guard family.

Lux learned very well and mastered it.

She was not targeting these soldiers, because as a child of the Crown Guard, she had the right to enter the dungeon, even the most ferocious dungeon, because her aunt was the Grand Marshal of the Empire and her uncle was the leader of the Demon Seekers. She could go to some forbidden places in Demacia without the king's permission, and the dungeon was one of them.

What's more, she is now a member of the Illuminator Cult, and she also has the right to enter the dungeon by blessing.

This is the right of the Crown Guard, the strongest family in Demacia.

"No, no, no, I mean that this place is not a suitable place for a beautiful noble lady like you to visit. In here..." The captain guarding the dungeon sweated, but he didn't dare to stop him. Instead, he stepped aside and said, "This place will disgust you."

"I don't care." Lux said, passing by him.

She promised Rowan that she would help Rowan check on the child.

And not just to help Rowan, Lux also wanted to see how civilian mages would be treated after being caught.

A moment later, with the help of the dungeon captain, Lux met the boy Rowan mentioned.

Seeing him, Lux breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the environment was damp and dirty, at least there was a small bed and a quilt in the prison, but Lux could see that the quilt was moldy and had spots on it, which made Lux frown.

"You guys retreat, I want to be alone." Lux said to the captain behind him.

The dungeon captain nodded, wiped his sweat, and said, "If you need anything, just tell me."

After that, he left, leaving Lux alone in the dungeon.

Lux looked at this dungeon that belonged to the "heretics", and then she walked forward.

"Hey, little guy, are you okay?" Lux stretched out her hands, grabbed the iron bars, and bent over to say inside.

Then, Lux saw the little boy move, just move, he didn't answer Lux.

"I'm Lux, do you remember when you were arrested, there was a man who spoke for you? I'm his friend, he wants to apologize to you, he couldn't help you." Lux said again.

"Help me?" The little boy spoke, he turned around, showing a pair of numb eyes, and said: "I'm guilty, I don't need help."

"You are guilty? Who told you?"

"That's what the adults said, my dad too." He answered, and then he turned around and stopped looking at Lux.

"." Lux looked at him with a complicated look.

"It's useless, he has been brainwashed." Just at this time, a voice sounded from the prison next to Lux.

Lux tilted his head and walked over, and saw a man sitting in the corner, his hands were shackled, and he was still tied in place, with a dirty body of tendons.

"Who are you?" Lux asked curiously.

He raised his head, revealing a handsome face. He looked quite old, with tangled tufts of hair falling down his cheeks, but it couldn't hide his eyes full of brilliance.

"Silas."

He continued, "Nice to meet you."

Please read this chapter!!!

Don't worry, the reason why Lux fell in love with Silas in the original book has been snatched away by Rowan. The person who gave Lux hope and made Lux accept herself was no longer Silas, but Rowan.

What's more, after Lux accepted her identity as a mage, she also had the idea of ​​changing the country. She came to the capital a year in advance and saw the injustice of Demacia, but she didn't learn nothing!

The person who taught Lux to accept her own light was not Silas, but Rowan.

Lux is the heroine of this article, so I will never write a disgusting plot.
