Chapter 821 [0809] The Person Who Manipulates the Chess Pieces

Silas did not want to accept his fate. Since he chose to escape from the Forbidden Magic Prison, he had decided to be an unfettered person.

But unfortunately, under the influence of the blood contract, he did not even have the qualification to "not want to".

Silas, who lacked the necessary understanding of the basic theory of magic, obviously did not know what the consequences of accepting the infusion of blood power would be. In addition, he had just woken up from the absorption of dreams, and his mind was still in chaos. It was not a surprise that Lissandra had played a trick on him at this time.

So, when Silas realized that he would suffer a painful backlash as long as he thought about violating Lissandra's agreement, he wisely gave up this calculation temporarily.

Now thinking about it, it seems that the only advantage is that this contract does not have a time limit, at least it will not break out because of his own procrastination-wait, I swear I will never procrastinate.

It's terrible.

After cleaning the glass shards on the bed and giving himself some simple bandages and treatment, Silas lay on the bed for the second time.

No longer tossing and turning, this time he easily entered the dream, and then "saw" Lissandra.

In the dream, Silas seemed to have returned to the cold and dark Frostguard Fortress, and returned to the hall where Lissandra met him. The Frost Witch sat in the center of the hall, her eyes were still covered by ice, but Silas sensitively felt a kind of gaze.

From the gaze of the Frost Witch.

"Don't forget why you returned to Demacia, Silas." It seemed that Silas didn't speak at all, but he heard these words clearly, "Your fate has been anchored, it cannot be changed, and it cannot be violated."

Silas wanted to say something.

But unfortunately, even in his own dream, he couldn't speak at all.

The night was very long.

In order to escape from the cage, Silas became a prisoner again in his dream.

When he woke up the next day, Silas felt that there was no place on his body that was not sore.

Especially after seeing the bruises on his knees, he even suspected that he had stood up and knelt in the corner all night last night, just like in his dream.

Shaking his head, he tried hard to get rid of all the impolite thoughts about Lissandra. At this moment, the only thing Silas was thankful for was that he had only promised her one thing in Frostguard Fortress before.

As long as Luxana was killed, Lissandra would not be able to control herself in the future... right?

After packing up his things, Silas left the hotel.

He needed to find out where Luxana was.

……………………

Lux was no longer in Fosbyro.

After Lissandra suddenly cut off contact with Ino, Ione collapsed soon after - and then even if Ino took the initiative, she could not contact Lissandra.

This result was not unexpected.

And with Lissandra's "offline", the alliance she had used as an excuse before was naturally cancelled.

After sending out envoys and confirming from the Avarosa tribe that "there is indeed no news about the alliance", Lux finally left Fosbyro.

She had spent enough time in the North, and some people in the capital had even begun to get restless.

Now time is precious, and Lux ​​didn't even have the mind to fish for law enforcement, so she had to hurry up and eliminate all problems in the bud.

The process of cleaning up those worms was very smooth.

On the one hand, it was because what they planned was really a bit too reactionary. The power transfer in the capital was very smooth, and the people in the capital obviously liked the new order more. The people who wanted to make trouble were just a small group of trash who had lost their noble status and became increasingly destitute.

On the other hand, it was because Jarvan IV, who these trash had high hopes for, was completely Lux's own people. They waited for Jarvan IV to come back, trying to impress him with their own plans and push him out as the banner that gathered people's hearts and attracted firepower.

How to say... It's pretty cute.

Even at this time, they still wanted to pit Jarvan IV, let Jarvan IV be the main tank, and then reap the benefits in the new order, so that when Jarvan IV heard the plan, he even laughed in anger.

These insects don't even want to think clearly about who Jarvan IV's biggest enemy is!

Jarvan III fell because the nobles formed a powerful coalition. If it weren't for the Noxians taking the opportunity to invade, Jarvan IV would definitely fight to the death with the nobles!

After the subsequent victory in the war, in order to stabilize the situation in Demacia, Jarvan IV chose to continue to cooperate with the nobles and support retired soldiers as missionaries, trying to share power from the nobles.

Although Jarvan IV's plan ultimately failed and led to his control by the Twilight Aspects, and although it turned out that Lux had long been rebellious in the North, looking at Jarvan IV's series of troublesome problems, there are always noble masters who are pulling his legs behind him.

Now you have been abandoned by the times, lost your noble status, and are completely destitute, but you come back to me and say you want to revive the glory of the nobility?

Is it funny?

Jarvan IV did not feel any psychological burden about throwing these scum to Lux - especially after he personally arrived in the southern part of Ixtal and saw the void rift with his own eyes.

Anyone who has faced the void will realize its horror. After listening to Shyvana's history of the Shurima Empire, he really understood the reason why the remaining forces of Ecathia and Shurima united.

Even if he died and his country was destroyed, it would only become a part of history.

But if the Runeland was swallowed by the void...

That would be more terrible than death.

So even though Jarvan IV still felt a lot of discomfort when he faced Lux ​​again, he still refused Shyvana's help and personally selected those ignorant nobles.

Because of Jarvan IV's "internal response", this purge was concentrated in a very small area.

In other words, although it has only been less than two years since the establishment of New Demacia, the old nobles have long lost their influence.

Fortunately, the Laurent family, who are flexible and clear-headed, gave up many of the family's tangible assets and fully embraced the order of New Demacia. Relying on their own strength, they decorated themselves as representatives of the old nobles' reformation.

Lux did not kill all these discerning nobles, but allowed them to make a living legally. Therefore, the Laurent family, as the first batch of nobles, participated in the revision of Demacia's history.

It's not that Lux gave them the power to revise history, but because they knew many secrets that only nobles knew, so they could provide history and assist in revising history.

But obviously not all nobles have such awareness.

More nobles cling to their so-called honor and are unwilling to accept the transformation of New Demacia - so, even if their starting point is indeed higher than most Demacians, they are quickly washed away on the beach with the continuous washing of the tide of the times.

Living off their wealth to maintain their dignity.

Refusing to work to maintain their dignity.

Continuing to make a comeback.

At the beginning, their "noble style" did attract many people.

But with the start of the "anti-new nobles" campaign, those law enforcers and clerks who had previously admired their dignity quickly chose to draw a line with them.

In this case, the old nobles chose to push out Jarvan IV, the former banner, and the reason for wanting to fight to the death was also very clear. They keenly discovered that Lux seemed to care about the stability of the situation, so their idea was to use "destabilizing the situation" as a threat to gain some "privileges that can maintain dignity" for themselves.

The idea was good, but it failed from the beginning.

The people who were pushed out as the banner took the initiative to defect, and the garrison of Xiongdu showed no mercy. After many years, Xiongdu held a public trial again.

Unlike the previous lenient treatment and medical treatment, this time Lux was quite cruel. More than 200 people were sent to the guillotine that day, and Xiongdu Forbidden Magic Prison was once again overcrowded.

The civilians of Xiongdu who watched the public trial applauded, because unlike the last time, the old nobles who tried to force Lux to compromise by destroying stability this time really intended to carry out indiscriminate attacks.

In this way, after the quick trial, the Demacia aristocracy was finally almost completely swept into the trash can.

Most of the old nobles were physically extinct, and a small number of them accepted transformation and became part of the new Demacia.

This transformation may be a little painful and a little undignified, but in any case, it is better than those guys who were hung on the gallows.

Moreover, Lux has never denied the greatness of Demacia in the past. She has always been positive about the establishment of Demacia and the arduous journey of the ancestors of Demacia. In this case, the old nobles accepted transformation and became living historical relics, which is not a decent exit.

As for those who don't want to be decent, Lux has given them decency.

……………………

When Silas entered the Xiongdu, the public trial had already passed.

After hearing about this, Silas once put all the pain behind him. It was a pity that he did not come to Xiongdu earlier and did not see the execution earlier.

Tianjie trampled on the bones of nobles, and he missed such an exciting thing!

What a pity, what a pity.

In the tavern of Xiongdu, Silas listened to the news and drank heartily. For him, there was nothing more refreshing than this. Those nobles who were high above finally ushered in their end!

The only thing that made Silas a little unhappy was that the person who presided over this matter was still a noble.

Even though he understood that Laxana seemed to be different from those nobles, and even different from himself, he still felt that it was a little bit off.

After getting drunk, Silas rarely had a dreamless night. After waking up the next day, although he still felt a little pity, he still acted quickly and began to find a way to find out the news about Laxana.

Assassinating an emperor is not a simple matter, not to mention that she was said to have defeated Jarvan IV head-on.

After Lissandra's will was distorted along the way, and Silas's self-brainwashing, he was no longer so resistant to assassinating Laxana.

Silas even vaguely developed a subtle sense of mission.

Laxana ended the rule of the nobles. She was a good person, but she was still a noble after all.

He could kill her. Only when she died could the rule of the nobles be completely ended!

This idea was not very logical, but it was enough to convince Silas and offset the remaining guilt in his heart. Even though he was already Lissandra's de facto prisoner, Silas still subconsciously wanted to find a reason to explain that he was "not forced to carry out the assassination."

For this reason, he did not hesitate to distort himself, which was not difficult to understand.

However, when he completed the psychological construction and finally began to look for Lux's trace, Silas found that if he wanted to find Laxana in the male capital, it would probably be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Because Silas didn't even know where Laxana worked!

The former royal castle of Dawn Castle has now been partially transformed into a museum. It is said that Jarvan IV donated his share in exchange for a manor outside the city.

Silas, who had thought that he could rely on the magic power in the forbidden stone walls of Dawn Castle to drive all the way in, had to give up this plan.

But if Laxana was not in Dawn Castle, where should she be?

Silas, who had no connections in Xiongdu, had a hard time getting the news. For half a month, he didn't get even a little bit of information.

However, it seemed that there was always a way out. Just when Silas began to think about whether to make some noise, a notice posted throughout the city gave him a big surprise.

Her Majesty Laxana will give a winter speech soon!

After the speech, there will be a series of research activities, and the public is welcome to participate in an orderly manner in the Grand Square.

Winter speech!

Laxana took the initiative to show up!

Silas, who got the news, was overjoyed. For him, this might be a godsend!

Of course, in addition to joy, Silas also needs to make full preparations. After all, Laxana is not a simple character. She is also a great magician and a person who has reached the top. Even if Silas has obtained the power of the ice bloodline, he is not sure that he can take down Laxana in one blow in the public eye.

The specific assassination plan still needs to be carefully planned.

Then, just after Silas pondered and fell into a trance, the originally silent Lissandra finally spoke directly in his dream for the first time.

"Don't worry." Her voice is still cold and ruthless, as if it is the winter of Freljord, "A heavy snow will provide you with the best opportunity."

Karya's small class · Demacia History:
