Chapter 425 [0422] Tariq Doesn’t Care
Although he was very satisfied with the statement of the Illuminati Cardinal, Jarvan III still had a lot of protection for Lux - according to the procedure, Lux had not yet completed the step of "accepting the trial of the Silent Man and confirming her identity", and the Cardinal had secretly mentioned it before, but as soon as Jarvan III opened his mouth, Lux had already reached the top.
Being named by Jarvan III, Lux, who had been prepared, was naturally not anxious or flustered.
Continuing to ignore Tariq who was still trying to get close to her, Lux stood up with a smile and began her speech loudly.
If the Illuminati had seized the sore spot that the Noble Council would not let go of the Stone Crown Punishment, then as soon as Lux opened his mouth, the Cardinal, who had already let go of his worries, frowned.
Because her first sentence called herself "Sinner Laxana".
The Cardinal never expected that Lux was so cruel that she called herself a sinner!
As the tone was set, the cardinal's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
However, this is not the end.
After setting the tone, Lux quickly revealed her theory: the success of the summit is not to gain glory, but to be blessed by heaven, and the essence of the Stone Crown Punishment is to atone for sins!
On the one hand, she agreed that the summit people represent the favor of heaven, but on the other hand, she believed that the favor of heaven is Demacia, not the summit people themselves, and the summit can only barely wash away the guilt, which is not worth boasting about at all.
According to her theory, the return of the summit people is indeed exciting, but the summit people should not be promoted in the future, but the focus should be on promoting the favor of Demacia.
This is not the end. Lux then made a subtle statement, saying that she is willing to "stay away from wealth and guard the northern border", raising the tone and even setting it directly to the sky!
Now, let alone the cardinal, even the nobles were stunned by Lux's speech - we just want you to go on stage and fight with Taric to stop the Illuminati from interfering in government affairs, not to let you drag Taric to self-destruct!
Going to the North would mean cutting off your own future!
Every winter, the barbarians in the North would always look for some excitement from time to time. Each time, the scale was small, but they were all elite. In this case, if you win, it would not be a credit, and if you lose, you will be blamed. Even if Demacia's northern defense line is impregnable, it is not a place for ambitious people to go.
You are a peak person, a witness to Demacia's favor, and a messenger of God!
With this identity, you can make use of the topic, as long as it is not too excessive. Due to the correctness of the Stone Crown Punishment, the Noble Council can only admit it with a pinch of nose.
Now, Lux is calling her Laxana the sinner, implying that she has to give up her status as a Crownguard family member and go to the North to suffer... You are really a model of nobility?
The nobles present were stunned.
However, Lux's big move is far from over.
After talking about guarding the North, she changed the subject and talked about the people in the kingdom who are not covered by light. In order to bring up the topic of the infected, she made up a story about a climber without any psychological barriers, saying that there are people who were exiled because of the infected, and they also want to climb Mount Targon to get redemption.
Just when everyone was wondering why Lux said that, Lux finally expressed her purpose tactfully.
"The people of Demacia are bathed in the sun, but there are still some who cannot get this light. They are waiting for redemption like the climbers."
"I grew up listening to the legend of the Winged Sisters. The Angel of Judgment Kayle taught us to be righteous, and the Angel of Redemption Morgana will give every lost person a chance to make amends."
"As a redeemer, I hope to lead these demon-tainted people to the northern border, and use the awe of the barbarians and the stability of the northern border to prove their loyalty and bravery, perseverance and tenacity."
"Although the mountains in the northern border are not as majestic as the Giant God Peak, I believe that the people who are loyal to Demacia, even those who are demon-tainted, can still usher in their own redemption."
"..."
"..."
When Lux finished her opinion and sat down with a smile, the entire main hall of the Dawn Castle was silent.
No one could have imagined that Lux would say such a thing on such an occasion and in such a situation - she didn't care about power or family at all, and really wanted to atone for her sins!
This...
Not to mention the Illuminati bishop, even Jarvan III was stunned.
In a trance, even an old fox like Jarvan III couldn't help but think "this is the real Ascendant", and almost agreed with Lux on the spot.
If the Illuminati cardinal's speech was to hand Jarvan III the hilt and give him a reason to suppress the nobles, then Lux's speech was even more thoughtful than a warm cotton jacket.
Lux directly attributed everything about the return of the Ascendants to the favor of Demacia, not only indirectly supporting Jarvan III, but also backstabbing the Council of Nobles. After all, once Lux's statement was widely recognized, even if the Ascendants returned, the victims of the Stone Crown Punishment would have to stay away from power, which was obviously an invisible restriction.
The clever thing is that although this is a bit of a backstab, the nobles of the Council of Nobles are actually quite happy to accept it - after all, the prisoners of the Stone Crown are all problematic, and if they can change themselves and hold high positions after returning, then everyone is somewhat unacceptable.
What's more interesting is that Lux was the first to stand up and take action on herself. I went directly to the bitter cold land of the North to guard the border for the country. I set an example myself. What else can you say?
It is no exaggeration to say that Lux's remarks were like putting Taric on the fire (of course, Taric himself did not care).
Everything is afraid of comparison. Void confrontation will not produce results. Only direct comparison can make it clear at a glance.
Lux just admitted that she failed in the duel. You Taric was derelict in your duty and caused the delegation to be killed. The impact has not been completely eliminated yet!
I have gone to the northern border to guard it. Can you still be in a high position?
As for Lux's last speech, the meaning of atonement with the redeemer made her level rise to a higher level.
Although it is essentially to concentrate on the development of spellcasters and to reflect the production innovation that magic can bring as soon as possible, in Lux's narration, it seems that she is really compassionate and empathetic, and empathizes with those infected with magic as a redeemer.
If it were in normal times, without the previous part of self-motivation to go to the border, such remarks would probably be considered as high-profile or ulterior motives.
However, with the previous long paragraph of self-sacrifice as a prelude, even the darkest people can't directly point out that Lux has other intentions. The biggest difference between a saint and a saint bitch is that the former will cut her own flesh, cutting it to the point where people have nothing to say!
At this moment, Lux's body seemed to be shining with the glory of the saint, making it almost impossible to look directly at her.
Then, in the silence, Taric spoke again at an inappropriate time.
"Miss Laxana, you are so clichéd!" He pouted and shook his head, expressing his dissatisfaction directly, "You are so beautiful and moving, why do you have to be contaminated by those ignorant, ugly and vulgar mortals?"
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere of the entire venue suddenly changed.
Although the nobles of Demacia may not care about the joys and sorrows of the common people, and they don't care whether the infected demons are exiled abroad or sent to the north, but at least they admit that the common people are human beings like themselves.
Although I won't do this, at least for Lux's behavior, everyone needs to respect it, even if it is superficial respect.
But when Tariq opened his mouth, things completely changed.
This is not as simple as "considering oneself as a high-ranking noble", this is clearly "considering mortals as non-humans"!
In the seats of the Illuminati, the cardinal and a group of bishops barely maintained their composure, but their expressions were distorted as if they were about to cry the next moment.
Of course, these bishops really wanted to cry - they tried their best, but they didn't expect that the confrontation had just begun and they had a slight disadvantage before they could retort, and the Protoss blew himself up on the spot!
Are you here to mess with us?
Aren't you upholding the will of the gods?
Is the god just like you?
The bishops who joined the Illuminati for power felt that their future was bleak, while the bishops who came to this day for faith truly felt the destruction of their will.
They thought that this self-proclaimed guardian of the Protoss was just too proud to care about mortals, but now it seems that he clearly ignores the life and death of mortals, and is not the "incarnation of justice" described in the historical records of the Illuminati at all!
What a hell!
The next moment, just when many people were about to stand up and scold Tariq, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside.
"Report! There was a riot in the Forbidden Magic Prison. Serious criminal Silas escaped from prison and is destroying the walls of the Forbidden Magic Prison and releasing more prisoners!"
The nobles in the imperial meeting were all numb after hearing this news.
Silas's name is still very intimidating. He is one of the few wizards who has killed the demon hunter in recent years. Many people have an impression of this name.
In addition, more importantly, this guy is destroying the Forbidden Magic Prison!
There are more than one or two demon-tainted people imprisoned in the Forbidden Magic Prison!
On the contrary, the cardinal, who looked ashen, was suddenly happy when he heard this - he didn't care about etiquette, he immediately stood up and spoke loudly to Tariq.
"Your Excellency, Guardian Star Spirit, if you don't stop him, Silas will destroy the capital! Destroy this beautiful city!"
The Cardinal knew very well that this Guardian Star Spirit had a special obsession with beauty, and the Demacia capital was one of the few things that he considered beautiful.
Maybe Taric didn't care about mortals, but he at least cared about the Demacia capital!
Now, as long as he could stop Silas, everything would be in time!
As if "beauty" triggered a switch hidden in his body, and as if disappointed that Lux was tainted with the ugliness of the mortal world, Taric finally retracted his gaze and stood up leisurely.
"Destroy this beautiful city?" The Guardian Star Spirit stretched out his hand and stroked his flowing long hair, and finally became serious, "That won't do - who called Silas? I have to stop him!"
Before he finished speaking, Taric had turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the Dawn Castle.
Lux was anxious.
Sylas's escape was originally to give Galio a chance to show off, and the An nobles were afraid of magic. Now Taric suddenly rushed out, wouldn't that be bad?
However, just when she was about to get up, Kalya, who had been pretending to be dead, stopped her with a laugh.
"Let Taric go, and let Galio come!" As if she was holding it back, Kalya laughed so hard that she was out of breath, "It's just right for everyone to see what the Protoss is!"
Kalya's small classroom·The beautiful Demacia capital:
This city, which is built mainly of Forbidden Magic Stone, is white in color, with a simple and grand architectural style, full of classical beauty - very much to the taste of the Guardian Protoss.
In fact, the Guardian Protoss came to the Demacia capital largely because they were attracted by this beautiful city. As for the fact that this is Taric's hometown...
The Guardian Titan doesn't care.
