Chapter 416 [0413] Test
Ino's sudden self-introduction caused the silent man's brain to crash for a short time.
His first reaction was that Ino was talking nonsense.
However, before he could speak, Ino sped up his speech and continued in a tone of "those who understand will understand":
"I am different from Taric, who has completely lost his will. Since the silent man and the Illuminati are not of the same mind, it seems that we are on the same path."
"..."
The shivering silent man wanted to say "Who is on the same path with you?", but when the words came to his lips, they turned into "Even if the silent man does not agree with some of the Illuminati's ideas, we are all working for the kingdom."
The silent man has indeed had a hard time recently.
Because of Taric's return, the Illuminati, which had been excluded from the political situation before, finally had the opportunity to attack. They believed that this was an absolute "miracle" and a manifestation of "the gods still favoring Demacia". They should take this opportunity to expand the influence of the Illuminati!
The expansion of influence here is not to attract more believers, but to influence the political situation by deepening the influence on believers - in other words, after the previous duel, the Illuminati once again launched an attack on secular power.
As a secret inheritance organization of Demacia, the Silents are well aware of the historical origins of many things, and they are unwilling to join the Illuminati in action.
But the problem is that many places in this matter involve the Silents, whether it is the identification of the identity of the summit man or the confirmation of his subsequent status, these need to be determined by the Silents.
In this case, as long as the Silents perform their duties, it seems that they are working hand in hand with the Illuminati.
The Illuminati is doing things to interfere with the secular world, but the Silents are of special origin, and all of their members are spellcasters. In Demacia, where spellcasters are not allowed to see the light, they are destined to be unable to interfere with the secular world!
In other words, in this matter, whether the Illuminati's plan can be realized or not, the Silents have no interest at all.
In Demacia, where magic is forbidden, the duties of the Silents are limited. They will only go all the way with the Illuminati when they are full.
In this case, the Silents can be said to be quite wronged. They are very self-aware and have no interest in the political situation, but they are in the vortex and cannot get out.
Unlike the former power to call the wind and rain and guard the code, the power of the Silents has shrunk to the extreme, and some of their functions have even fallen into the hands of the magic hunters. Fortunately, the Illuminati's action was successful this time, and at most the Silents did not suffer any losses; if the Illuminati made a fuss and was dealt with again like the last time, I am afraid that the Silents' originally pitiful power will be taken away again.
In such an embarrassing situation, when the Illuminati was mentioned, the tone of the Silents was naturally not good.
It was this unconcealable resentment that made Ino finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"The Illuminati's attempt to hold the Ascendants hostage is doomed to fail." Ino revealed the Illuminati's plan. "No matter what means they want to take, the situation in Demacia cannot be completely controlled by a guardian spirit."
The Silent Man agreed in his heart, but he still managed to keep an expressionless look on his face.
"As one of the Ascenders, I think that the current Demacia has too strict control over magic." Ino smiled, "Although you still don't want to tell me why the Silent Man is like this now, I think it should have something to do with the loss of control of the World Rune - since then, the Silent Man has gradually lost power and has become a marginal organization, right?"
"..."
"Just take it as your tacit consent." Ino glanced at the Silent Man who was hesitant to speak, and continued, "The Illuminati relied on a Ascender who didn't recognize his relatives after returning from the Ascender, and came up with the idea of competing with the Noble Council for secular power. Now, if there are two Ascender mages supporting it, are the Silent Man willing to stand up and preside over the normalization of Demacia's magic?"
Hearing what Ino said, the Silent Man finally couldn't maintain his expressionless posture anymore. He widened his eyes and stared at Ino in front of him in amazement, his lips trembling, and he could hardly say a word.
"Magic is not dangerous, but out-of-control magic is the most dangerous." Very satisfied with the reaction of the Silent Man, Ino continued to explain his own views, "The Silent Man should know this better than anyone else."
"Banned magic... Banning magic is the foundation of Demacia." The Silent Man tried to argue, "If magic is rampant, the result will inevitably be out of control. The history of the Silent Man has proved this, so Demacia must implement a ban on magic to eliminate all possibilities of out-of-control in the bud."
"That's because the Silent Man has no orthodox magic heritage." Ino shook his head, "The first batch of Silent Man should come from Shurima, right? Why was the magic of the former Shurima Empire so prosperous, but there was never a situation of magic out of control?"
This rhetorical question was like a heavy blow, completely breaking the psychological defense of the Silent Man in front of him-if he hadn't seen the glory of the former Shurima Empire, the Silent Man would not have taken the risk of trying to use the power of the world rune to maintain the "Demacia Code"!
We all fought for Demacia, but we were suppressed by the king and outsiders. We were eventually reduced from defenders of the law to silent people who now hide in the shadows and can only hang out with religious lunatics!
"Miss Summiter." He took two deep breaths and tried hard to calm down his emotions. "The Silent people never act for their own power. We are the foundation of Demacia and we must be responsible for this kingdom."
Ino raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.
"If magic can be normalized, it will be a great good thing for Demacia." The Silent Man continued, "So, please come with me - the Elders should be happy to communicate with you face to face."
……………………
Under the leadership of this silent man, Ino met the silent man's elders in a room that looked like a reading room in the underground laboratory.
It seems that because of trust and confidence in their own strength, these silent people elders did not prepare any special security measures when they met Ino. The two sides just sat face to face, as if meeting for the first time. Friends generally chat.
"Is this Miss Climber?" An old woman who seemed to have the highest status among the elders smiled and showed a kind look after seeing Ino, "It's really rare that you can climb Mount Targon barefoot. Why!"
"It's just the blessing of heaven." Ino would also smile, "It can't be compared with someone like you who has developed the ice bloodline to the extreme."
When someone directly revealed the details, the smiling old woman's expression immediately froze, and after a moment she put on an exaggerated look of daze.
"I'm such an old fool!" She took out a pair of exaggeratedly large spectacle frames from her arms and put them on the bridge of her nose tremblingly, "It turns out she is a little girl from the same race... Judging from your age, I don't know. What’s your name for an exile like me?”
"Just call me Ino." Ino nodded politely, "What about you?"
The old woman adjusted the frame of her glasses, and two pieces of crystal clear ice quickly filled the frame - then, her eyes when she looked at Ino no longer had the turbidity before: "Me, everyone likes to call me Grandma Ling. ”
"Grandma Ling." Ino didn't care about the other party's reliance on his elders. "If I hadn't met you, I would never have believed that the leader of the silent people's elders is actually a Freljordian."
"Hey, I told you, I'm just an old man who was exiled." Grandma Ling didn't care about the offense in Ino's words, but waved her hand, "Little Tag has told us everything you said. Yes, it is indeed a young person’s idea and has great momentum.”
Ino said nothing, waiting for the other party's follow-up "but".
"However, the matter of the silent people is actually far more complicated than you think." Sure enough, after half a compliment, [But] came as promised, "The religious lunatics of the Illuminati have always been like that, jumping out and jumping around when they get the chance. After all, this kind of jumping around is useless, just let them go, the silent people should not get involved in this kind of thing."
"Then what is the Silent People's attitude towards magic?" Ino did not comment on this evaluation. "Do you think Demacia can maintain the current situation?"
"Of course it's good." Grandma Ling nodded, "It's peaceful, no war, and orderly..."
Grandma Ling's attitude made Ino a little unsure. She seemed to really think so, and her expression gradually changed from sharp to soft. Beside her, other silent elders seemed to have the same view. Hearing Grandma Ling say this, her face looked as if it was natural.
"Something's wrong." Ino listened patiently to Grandma Ling's chatter with a smile, while looking at the hilt of her sword, "Teacher Kalya, there seems to be something wrong with them!"
"There must be something wrong!" Kalya quickly urged, "Get up quickly and take down the old woman directly - she is using the power of the world runes!"
Although Ino did not find any trace of energy flow, out of her trust in Kalya, she still put her hands on the table and stood up suddenly.
Following her movements, a large piece of solid ice burst like a glacier, suddenly attacking Grandma Ling who was smiling across from her.
"Young people today...fuck you!"
Facing Yi Nuo's spell, Grandma Ling seemed to think that she could easily resolve it with a wave of her hand, but as the ice was about to come, she realized that she couldn't control the ice created by Yi Nuo at all!
The cracked ice shot out like a razor. If the old woman hadn't been so agility, she would have been pierced by these ice blades!
No longer as comfortable as she had been before, Grandma Ling's body collapsed and she just felt confused.
how so? !
You must know that in the battle between ice bloodline, especially the battle between ice bloodline casters, bloodline concentration is a very important link, which is related to the caster's ability to control ice.
The stronger the bloodline, the better the person can control the ice, and they can even seize control of the opponent's ice simply and crudely!
Why would Grandma Ling carry out an unethical attack at this time?
Because after she recognized the ice blood in Ino, she thought she could completely control this young man.
Regardless of whether she is a climber or not, regardless of her status, Grandma Ling is confident that she can suppress her with the power of the world's runes.
If she is not discovered, she will be imprisoned in a rune prison; if she is discovered, she will be suppressed on the spot!
Just as Ino had controlled the Silent Man before not to take his life, Grandma Ling did not take Ino's life either - in her opinion, this matter was serious, and whether to cooperate with Ino or not, the leading party must be the Silent Man.
It was based on this consideration that she quietly called upon the Silent Man's hidden world rune power to try to suppress Ino; only after Ino made a decisive move, she let the spell come to her like a breeze before fighting back.
However, what she never expected was that Ino did use ice element magic, but the ice element magic he used was not brought by the ice bloodline!
Ino's way of casting spells was upright elemental magic!
Originally thinking of taking down Ino with ease, Grandma Ling misjudged the situation and lost the initiative, and the whole person retreated backwards in disgrace.
However, while she retreated, Ino took advantage of the situation and did not let her go.
Large patches of ice spread out in this fairly spacious meeting room like a thorn forest, forcing the Silent Elders to leave in embarrassment. During the time when Ino was clearing the room, although Grandma Ling tried to launch a counterattack several times, it was difficult to be effective.
In just a moment, this Grandma Ling was forced into a corner.
"You are really a peak climber!" After creating an ice wall and controlling it to crush a lot of ice thorns forward, Grandma Ling's tone was finally no longer as calm as before, "Such abundant magic power, such a young age... You are much more difficult than that Tariq!"
"You have also fought with Tariq?" Ino smashed the ice wall created by the other party, and asked with some surprise, "Why? He also wants to cooperate with the Silent?"
"How can the Protoss look down on a group of mortals hiding in the shadows... Of course, it is to test his identity as a peak climber!" Grandma Ling cast a spell again, a round The rolling ice ball swept past, crushing a lot of ice chips. "Otherwise, how do you think we confirmed the identity of the climber?"
"?!"
"Okay, stop it. I won't use the power of the world rune anymore." The old lady waved her hand, signaling Ino to stop fighting. "This time, we can sit down and talk. If you keep fighting, you will break my old bones."
