Chapter 354 We, Demacia, Will Live Forever!
After a while, the carriage came to a complete stop.
The excited Zoe jumped off the carriage first, followed closely by Li Lin, who grabbed her little hand to prevent her from running around in the royal city and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Morgana, who was wearing a veil and had two pairs of purple-black wings behind her, and Shyvana, who was wearing strange scales, came down one after another, immediately attracting the attention of the guards outside Dawn Castle.
Their eyes were filled with various emotions such as astonishment, doubt, danger, etc. If they had not gotten off the carriage led by His Highness the Prince, these guards would have swarmed up and captured them.
In fact, Zoe has the ability to help them temporarily hide their "weird" appearance that is different from ordinary people, but after comprehensive consideration, both Li Lin and Jarvan IV think it is not necessary.
No matter what, they have to face the people of Demacia. It is better to show up as soon as possible and explain clearly than to expose their identities later and be caught by some people.
"Is this Dawn Castle? It looks pretty good!"
Zoe blinked her beautiful eyes. If Li Lin hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to fly to the top of this castle, which was at least several hundred meters high and could be said to be towering like clouds.
Li Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the excellence of Demacia's precision construction industry and its master craftsmen.
Demacia is a closed feudal country, and there is basically no trace of Hex Technology in the country.
The sculptures, which are often tens or hundreds of meters tall, the uniform and perfectly symmetrical decorations, as well as the Castle of Dawn in front of you, were all carved bit by bit by manpower.
Although Piltover is not as grand as the capital of Demacia, Li Lin, who has already been trained for this kind of formation, is more accustomed to it and does not feel the slightest nervousness.
Not to mention Morgana who possesses divine power, apart from her sister Kyle, there is no person or situation in the world that can make her emotionally unstable.
But it's different for Shyvana.
Since most of the buildings in Xiongdu are made of Forbidden Demon Stone, especially the city walls, the content of Forbidden Demon Stone material is far higher than that of other buildings.
Just after passing the Forbidden Demon Stone wall, Shyvana showed some discomfort.
When she arrived at Dawn Castle, this discomfort became more obvious on her face.
"Are you okay?" Li Lin asked concernedly.
There is a high probability that Shyvana will become the princess of Jarvan IV in the future, so there can be no mistakes.
"The forbidden magic stone here prevents the flow of magic in her body." Morgana explained at the side.
She squinted her eyes and looked around. Under the cover of Li Lin, Shyvana and the carriage, a trace of invisible black magic emerged from the fingertips of her right hand and injected into Shyvana's body.
Suddenly, her pale face improved a lot, she raised her eyes and thanked: "Thank you..."
Morgana nodded in response, and her eyes immediately turned to the place where the slightly chaotic footsteps were approaching.
Jarvan IV, who had already reported his safety to Jarvan III, strode towards them with a smile on his face.
He first noticed Shyvana's strange look and asked with concern: "Is it the forbidden magic stone that makes you uncomfortable?"
Shyvana forced out an unnatural smile, "It's okay, Your Highness, with Morgana's help, I'm much better."
Jarvan IV suppressed his smile slightly and thought for a moment, "I understand. I will ask my father to send you to a town in the rear where there is no forbidden magic stone."
"Your Highness, you don't have to..."
"No need to say more, you deserve this."
Jarvan IV smiled gently, reached out and patted Shyvana on the shoulder with appropriate force, and then looked at Li Lin and Morgana.
"I have explained your situation to King Father. This is not the place to talk. He is waiting for you in the castle.
"By the way, he also specifically told me that I must say sorry to you because he can't come to greet you in person."
Jarvan IV bowed slightly to Morgana and saluted respectfully, attracting the surprised looks of many unsuspecting guards present.
"It doesn't matter, I don't care about it." Morgana just responded lightly, "Lead the way, Your Highness, let's go see your father."
Jarvan IV nodded and walked in front with his head held high. The guards following him were divided into two rows, trapping the four people Li Lin, Zoe, Morgana and Shyvana who were following the prince in the center of the team.
The ceremonial and music troops once again blew the passionate horns to welcome Jarvan IV's triumph, while other soldiers beat the war drums and waved the Demacia war flag until Jarvan IV, Li Lin and the others entered the gate of Dawn Castle.
The place they were going to was clear, the Hall of Valor where Jarvan III was.
This magnificent hall, made of white marble mixed with forbidden magic stone, is not only the place where the king handles political affairs, but also where martyrs and fallen soldiers will be remembered and remembered.
After walking through the long and wide corridor, Jiawen IV led Li Lin and others to arrive here quickly.
The Hall of Valor is not a fully enclosed structure, but mainly presents a hollow structure.
Four thick white stone pillars as the main support structure rise into the sky, and meet with the surrounding rows of stone walls that are spaced apart and resemble fences at the ceiling of tens of meters high.
A circular gap is cut in the center of the ceiling. The special structure inside can collect sunlight, making the central area bathed in white but not dazzling light, adding a sacred atmosphere to it.
The two statues of more than 20 meters in length and kneeling with swords and fearless pioneer soldiers are symmetrically located on both sides of the hall. They look at each other with the two statues of more than 50 meters in the center, with tall and straight waists and fully armed soldiers, and jointly defend the Dema in the center. The throne of the king of Western Asia.
In front of the throne, there are two winged statues symbolizing Demacia. They look like Morgana's wings hanging upside down and are very similar to Galio's wings.
At this time, Jarvan III was sitting on the throne in the center of the Hall of Valor.
He wears a golden crown on his head, holds a golden scepter that symbolizes royal power, and wears a golden battle armor made of pure gold. A pure white cloak hangs from his shoulders, and a knee-length shield with a white background and blue edge hangs naturally in front of him.
Due to the baptism of time, Jarvan III has already turned gray-haired and his sideburns are all white.
Behind him stood two men and one woman, among whom Li Lin knew Barrett well because he had known her all the way.
The other two were all wearing Demacia-style rune steel armor composed of three colors: blue, yellow, and white, and were equipped with Demacia's characteristic wide and thick shoulder pads.
Among them, the man with an Ionian face was holding a spear, and his black hair was tied high into a high ponytail, hanging naturally behind him.
The other woman has long blond shawl hair. She stands upright and has a cold expression. Her hands are behind her back. Her slightly raised chin and unusually cold eyes give people the feeling of a superior looking down on everything.
Even without "digital thinking", Li Lin could recognize them at a glance.
Xin Zhao, the steward of Germany, and Tiana Crownguard, the aunt of Galen and Lux, and the political wife of Eldred, the leader of the Demonseekers Association, who had just served as the Grand Marshal of Demacia from the Crownguard family.
It seemed that they had heard the footsteps coming from the corridor a long time ago. Li Lin and Jarvan IV had just arrived at the Hall of Valor. Jarvan III stood up with a hearty laugh and hurriedly greeted them.
Barrett, Xin Zhao and Tiana followed closely behind him.
Jarvan III first focused his attention on Li Lin, who was the vague leader of the crowd, and then looked sideways at Morgana, one of the legendary protector sisters of Demacia beside him.
Not only the king, but also Xin Zhao and the cold Tiana couldn't help but be surprised when they noticed the dark wings that stretched out from her shoulder blades and shoulders and were locked by iron chains.
Due to the qualities of a king, Jiawen III was only stunned for a very short time, and soon recovered, and said with a kind of respect in his tone unconsciously: "I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you back..."
Tiana behind him frowned slightly, as if she felt that the king should not show such a condescending posture to others.
What's more, the woman in front of me was still wearing a veil and headscarf when meeting the king, and she didn't really confirm the identity of the winged protector...
At least she had never heard of the rumor that the Winged Protectors were actually a pair of sisters.
Why did His Highness the Prince bring back two magic people this time?
Tiana quickly passed over Morgana and Shyvana with a sharp gaze.
Li Lin is the prince's benefactor, and she will not target him either emotionally or rationally.
As for Zoe…
He's just a kid. He seems to be related to Li Lin. He should be brother and sister?
Tiana felt dissatisfied and wary at the same time.
But just as she opened her mouth to scold Morgana, out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Barrett, who was looking at her slightly sideways. He also frowned slightly.
The two had a brief eye contact, and Tiana knew that this was Barrett's "warning" to her, and she didn't want her to act rashly.
Therefore, the words that reached her lips were swallowed back, and eventually turned into a deep breath.
Even without using magic, Morgana's perception was still sharp, and she naturally noticed the changes in the expressions of the two people behind the king.
This country has changed so much...
Morgana sighed in her heart, not liking this politically charged environment.
"You don't have to be so respectful to me." Her voice was very calm.
In the confused eyes of Jarvan III, Morgana explained: "In the past, when my sister...Kyle and I were the Winged Protectors of Demacia, we, at least to me, treated everyone equally. of."
A look of surprise flashed across Jarvan III's face, but the excitement in his eyes was not concealed at all, "The Winged Protector has returned, and our Demacia will once again embark on the road to glory and live forever! Hahahaha..."
After a brief exchange with Morgana and some sighs, the king's face slightly subdued his excitement and looked at Li Lin, who was at the front next to him.
"Are you the savior my son mentioned, Li Lin of the Gila Mann family in Piltover?"
Li Lin crossed his hands on his chest and bowed slightly. He performed a standard courtesy to Jarvan III and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay! Young people are promising, young people are promising!"
Jiawen III took two steps forward and patted Li Lin twice on the shoulder, "You are my son's savior. He is the only bloodline of the Light Shield family. This kind of kindness can hardly be repaid by our Light Shield family!"
He paced back and forth thinking, finally stood still and continued to look at Li Lin.
"But no matter what, as the king of Demacia, I have to show something...
"How about this? How about I make you the honorary lord of Sassanli Town in the Demacia Plains south of the capital, and enjoy all the power and most of the tax revenue there?"
