Chapter 433 [0430] The Overall Situation Has Been Determined

With Tariq's awakening of self-awareness, the battle can finally be declared over.

However, for Lux, the end of the battle is not the end of the entire incident.

Next, the reward and punishment for the entire incident is the top priority of everything - especially how to deal with the demon-stained people, which is directly related to the smoothness of Lux's next move.

"Will the noble council really be willing to send them to Northern Xinjiang?" On the way back to Dawn Castle, Lux asked with some apprehension, "The scale of today's turmoil seems to have exceeded expectations."

"Originally it wasn't necessarily, but now I dare to say it is definitely." Kalya saw it clearly, "The nobles can not care about the life and death of civilians, but they cannot care about their own life and death - now the Forbidden Demon Prison is no longer safe, and it has become How could they allow this time bomb to be planted in Xiongdu and next to them? "

"But what if they want to directly kill all the mages?" Lux worried, "Wouldn't that be self-defeating and counterproductive?"

"No one wants to be such a villain." Kalya chuckled, "Although they are all scared to death, believe me, no one will show fear; and His Majesty Jarvan III is not a fool. He will directly execute Ran. Demon, that can only plunge the whole of Demacia into chaos, which is absolutely impossible."

"So, they will agree with both hands and hope to send these demon-infected people to the border?" Lux nodded, and said with some understanding in her heart, "Keep danger away from yourself, and at the same time show your kindness?"

"That's pretty much it." Karya agreed, "The only variables are the Illuminati and Tariq."

Speaking of Tariq, Lacus was also a little confused.

There is no doubt that the Tarik now is completely different from the Tarik before.

But the gap here is difficult to explain to many nobles - if possible, Lux does not want the Illuminati to have any real contact with the Titans, because once the Illuminati really has the background of the Titans, then Shuri The Lieyang Cult of the Mar Empire is a lesson learned from the past.

The church with the true God and the church without the true God are completely different things.

Although Taric was ready to use death to wash away all his sins, Lux knew very well that what he had shown before was actually the will of the Guardian Titan and had little to do with him. In the final analysis, Even if Tarik is a little off track at the moment, his crime will not lead to death in the end.

Therefore, when Kalya mentioned Tariq, Lux was a little hesitant.

"If you want to protect Tariq, I have a way, but it requires Tariq's cooperation." Kalya's tone began to become a little subtle, "He can admit that he was bewitched by standing aside, but he was bewitched. It shouldn’t be a giant, but a demon.”

"Devil?" Lux blinked, unable to follow Kalya's train of thought, "What does this have to do with the devil?"

"Tariq has nothing to do with the devil, but if you say there is, then there is." Kalya chuckled, "You chose to leave the center of power, and everyone is still willing to give you this face - besides, the Illuminati I must also wish that Taric was bewitched by the devil and returned from the summit, but he no longer had Demacia in his heart. This kind of blow would be fatal to the Illuminati. "

"..."

Lux was stunned for a moment after hearing the words, blinked several times, and finally figured out the logic - "Tariq was bewitched by the devil" is not the truth, but it is a warning to herself, the Illuminati, and even Germany. Best results Marcia.

Even because there are two demons imprisoned here in Kalya, the disguise can be done perfectly.

For this best outcome, the truth doesn't matter.

Realizing this, Lux was a little relieved, but also a little sad.

"Karya, can't restoring the truth and getting the best results coexist?" Lux asked in a low voice, "We all know that this matter has nothing to do with the devil - maybe I can deceive everyone, but I can't deceive myself."

"For individuals, sincerity is an excellent character." Kalya comforted softly, "I am very happy to see your sincerity and kindness - but in the whirlpool of politics, sincerity will only bring worse The result is that Demacia cannot tolerate your sincerity."

Lux was silent.

"If you are sincere, you should denounce their shamelessness and condescension in your speech to the noble council, question the reason why they are now rich and well-off, and clarify the development that magic can bring to this country." Kalya continued, " But you know it makes no sense and will only make the situation worse.”

Lux remained silent.

"Because you are the eldest lady of the Crown Guard family, you can use relatively gentle methods to change Demacia, but Demacia is not Vazuan, not a city, it is a kingdom that stretches thousands of miles." Kalya His tone was low, "Kindness and kindness are your persistence and direction, but they must not be your means of doing things. I have learned from you before."

Lux was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then remembered what Kalya had said about the origin of the Icathia War - this made her unable to help being horrified, and she even couldn't help but shudder.

"Goodness and ugliness are two complex sides of human nature. If you pursue one side without considering the other, even if the purpose is good and the means are bright, the ending will lead to the abyss." Kalya sighed, "Lacus, if possible, I don't want you to be involved in these things, but even reform is not as simple as treating people to a meal. Once the future development of Fosbyro shows results, temptations, transactions and even destruction from all directions will come one after another. Believe me, compared to violently overthrowing everything, using lies to temporarily appease a group of guys who are destined to be swept into the garbage dump is already a very gentle thing."

"...You're right." Lacus took a deep breath, and a confident smile appeared on her face again, "I'm going to talk to Tariq, I hope he can cheer up and play this play with me."

……………………

When Lacus returned to the Castle of Dawn, the noble council stood up and welcomed her return as if welcoming a hero.

Until the imperial meeting started again, everyone's eyes were fixed on Lux's face, waiting for her to speak.

Jarvan III, who presided over the meeting, did not let everyone wait too long, and quickly asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"What is going on? What just happened?"

"Tariq was bewitched by the devil." Lux's face was calm, but she caused an uproar as soon as she opened her mouth, "I just dispelled and caught the devil on him."

Everyone in the noble council was stunned.

How could this involve the devil?

In Demacia, the devil is already an ancient legend. At this time, Lux suddenly said that Taric was bewitched by the devil... This, this is also possible?

Just when everyone in the noble council looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment, the originally haggard and shaky cardinal, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, quickly stood up.

"Miss Angel is right!"

Good boy, Lux just mentioned a demon, and the cardinal here called her an angel?

What angel?

Winged sisters?

Looking at the cardinal who seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, the expressions of the people in the noble council were a little too wonderful for a moment.

"I'm not an angel, just a climber." Lux, who was suddenly interrupted, was also stunned for a moment, but she immediately refused the hat that the cardinal put on her, "But just now, I did detect the breath of the demon on Tariq."

As she said, Lux raised her left hand, and in her palm, a group of black shadows that looked uneasy quickly emerged. Several nobles subconsciously took a look, and then they all looked disgusted.

Could it be that there really is a demon?

Everyone's eyes turned to Tariq, who had lost an arm and a leg.

"There really is a demon." Taric, who is not good at lying, tried to maintain a calm expression. "I was too careless. In fact, after returning from the summit, I went to the embassy where I had left my post. There, I found a cunning demon... I thought I had defeated it, but in fact it took advantage of my pride and controlled me."

The expressions of the people in the noble council were a little subtle when they heard this.

"Now that I think about it, the tragedy in the embassy was the work of the demon. The prosperous Demacia did not have the chaos it liked, so it created the tragedy and made it impossible for the Valoran Mutual Aid Alliance to be established."

For this kind of rhetoric that obviously meant to shift the blame, everyone was not sure whether to accept it or not, and there was no evidence to reject it, so no one came out to question it directly, but everyone's eyes turned to Jarvan III, hoping that His Majesty the King could say something.

And Jarvan III soon had an idea after thinking for a moment.

"I have already invited someone to deal with the tragedy at the embassy." In the expectation of everyone, His Majesty the King said slowly, "Since Tariq said so, Laxana still has the remnants of demonic power, then if he comes to take a look, he should be able to see clearly."

Hearing what Jarvan III said, everyone in the Noble Council quickly understood the hidden meaning - obviously, the professionals here were the mages Jarvan III invited back from abroad when the climbers had not returned yet.

Although there are also silent people in the country, the embassy murder case involves foreign envoys after all, so inviting a "neutral person" is undoubtedly more convincing.

So, everyone in the Noble Council nodded and agreed with Jarvan III's opinion, hoping to invite that professional to come and take a look.

There is no need for foreign envoys to attend the Imperial Conference, so if you want that professional to come, you need to send someone to invite him - and during this period, the Imperial Conference quickly reached a consensus on the chaotic problem of the infected demons.

Just as Kalya expected, when Lux once again mentioned the hope of releasing the infected from the forbidden magic prison and sending them to the border for "redemption", all the nobles nodded in agreement.

No one wants to have a time bomb buried around them all the time.

However, there are still people who disagree with the punishment of the infected. Considering that many infected followed Silas and the garrison soldiers to fight, they think that simply letting them go to the north to guard the border is not a punishment at all.

For these guys who fight with force, we must hit them hard!

Regarding this, Lux has already had a plan. She proposed that these demon-infected people can be redeemed through labor, allowing them to repair the old fortresses in the north, build roads, and build bridges - "Compared to letting It would be better for them to contribute to the construction of the kingdom while they are wasting their time in prison."

Regarding Lux's statement, everyone's first reaction was "How can a demon-stained person work honestly?" However, when they thought of the battle between Lux and Taric just now, and thought of Galio's attitude of crushing all living beings, They suddenly discovered that it seemed that those infected with demons could indeed work honestly!

Hey, don’t mention it, it sounds like it’s really feasible!

Then, just as everyone began to discuss the responsibilities and obligations that Lux would need to bear after going to Northern Xinjiang, the guards came to report that the Argen envoy had arrived outside the castle and was waiting to see him.

"Invite him in."

……………………

Arjen, who entered Dawn Castle, was no longer as cool and calm as before. He was trembling with fear and walking on thin ice.

This was not the first time he came to the capital of Demacia, nor was it the first time he met Jarvan III, but it was indeed the first time he realized the awesome side of this country.

In the past, Argen thought that Demacia was just a country of warriors. Although their country was large, had a large population, and was rich in products, Demacia, which rejected and banned magic, was nothing more than that to him.

Just a housekeeper dog!

Even though his own Abermac did rely on Demacia, in his heart, Arjen was still full of dissatisfaction - this was the Master's unique sense of superiority.

But today, after carefully observing the battle in the sky, Arjen's small sense of superiority was crushed to pieces.

There are mages in Demacia, and they are beyond my level of knowledge!

If Alzhen can still understand the existence of Galio, then the battle between Lux and Taric is a real fight between gods to him!

Seeing Arjen's almost sweaty appearance, Jarvan III thought for a moment and understood the reason. An indescribable feeling of relief surged into his heart. Even if the old king tried his best to control it, the corners of his mouth finally froze. Slightly upturned.

"Special Envoy Argen," Jarvan III said with a smile, "Miss Laxana said that she found the murderer of the embassy case, and he was a demon - what do you think of this, Mr. Special Envoy?"

Kalya’s small classroom and the imperial meeting without people:

It seemed that because Grandma Ling was usually too low-key, no one noticed that when the imperial meeting started again, a white-haired old lady disappeared.

PS. Recently, some people always say that I am short. After some self-reflection, I felt that the previous chapter of about 3,000 words was indeed a bit bad, so I restored it to 4,000 words.

PSS. There is another chapter in the second half of the night.
