Chapter 15 Lux's Little Thoughts
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
In a corner of the restaurant, Rowan and Garen Lux sat in one corner, while Zeyi and Lux's accompanying guard knight went to the side to compete in drinking, leaving the space for the brother and sister.
But. Why did Rowan also sit at this table?
Lux looked at Rowan hesitantly. Garen saw Lux's eyes and looked at Rowan with a sigh: "Or, why don't you go and have a drink with Zeyi and the others first?"
"It's okay, you guys talk about yours, don't worry about me." Rowan immediately shook his head, eating fried chicken, and said to Lux and Garen.
Lux looked at him and felt a little speechless.
How could this person be like this!
"Forget it, just say it directly." Garen looked at Lux and said.
Drive Rowan away?
The face of this person who can't be driven away is beaten by the city wall.
The etiquette of the nobility made it impossible for Garen and Lux to ask Rowan to leave directly. Rowan insisted on staying here, and Garen and Lux had no choice.
Is it to use power to pressure others? But the problem is that Lux is not a person who will use power to pressure others. As for Garen's use of power to pressure others? He would use his noble status to make things convenient for himself. After all, family background is also a kind of power. This is a privilege and a responsibility!
But the problem is that it is okay to forcibly drive Rowan away here, but what about after returning to the barracks?
Rowan didn't beat himself in the dormitory, so Garen could eat up the face of the Crown Guard!
The more he got along with Rowan, the more Garen knew how bad human nature could be.
How could there be such a guy in a country like Demacia that attaches great importance to etiquette and morality!
This person is a super rogue!
"Okay, brother, then I'll say it." Lux hesitated again and again, and finally spoke in a low voice.
"Yeah."
Lux looked at Garen and asked seriously, "Brother, if, if a wizard appeared in our Crown Guard family, what would you do?"
Rowen was eating, and after listening to Lux's words, he smiled inwardly.
I said, the person involved in this if is actually you, sister!
"A wizard appeared in our family?" Garen frowned, and then said in a deep voice, "What else can we do? We must arrest him, send him to the Demon Hunters, and put him in prison."
"." Lux pouted and stopped talking.
Garen looked at the silent Lux, and was even more confused. He said in a deep voice, "Why are you asking this?"
"I, I'm just asking casually." Lux said immediately.
"Lux, I don't care what you think, but you have to know that our Crown Guard family absolutely does not allow the appearance of wizards. If, if a wizard appears..." Garen suddenly paused, and then said, "Anyway, Lux, do you still remember how your uncle died?"
"I know brother." Lux said softly.
Rowan was eating nearby, and when he heard this, he said, "What does this have to do with mages? It's true that your uncle died at the hands of a mage, but does that mean that all mages are evil?"
"What did you say?" Garen turned to look at Rowan, and said angrily.
Demacia is a country that prohibits magic, and mages are not allowed to appear. This is something that all Demacians know.
"What did I say? What? Do you want to fight again?" Rowan bared his teeth and looked at Garen.
"."
"You are from the countryside, I won't argue with you, Rowan, you don't know what mages represent, mages are synonymous with evil and destruction, all mages should be." Garen said halfway, glanced at Lux, and said: "In short, Demacia does not allow mages to appear."
"That's enough."
"The king has issued an order to allow mages to appear, why do you nobles have such a big objection to mages? Mages are evil? Hasn't Demacia ever come into contact with Ionians? Many Ionians can do magic and extraordinary witchcraft, are they all evil? If they are all evil, then why hasn't Ionia been destroyed?" Rowan frowned.
From the stories Rowan knew, King Jarvan III was indeed committed to changing the living environment of mages, and he was changing the views of the Demac people on mages, and Demacia really began to ban magic in an all-round way. That was the order of Jarvan IV, that is, the order of the prince.
The reason was that Jarvan III was assassinated, and there were traces of magic at the scene. This incident caused Demacia to completely hate mages and truly entered an era of banning magic for all people.
When Jarvan III was alive, mages were found and their magic power would be tested. If they did not pose a threat to the surrounding area, they would only be investigated and not directly imprisoned. But what about after Jarvan IV came to power?
Demacia caught mages when they saw them, and did not allow a single mage to appear.
Rowan now regretted that he did not read the story of the big world carefully at the beginning, but this did not prevent Rowan from speaking for the mages.
If the mages were really like what Garen said, then Demacia would have been destroyed long ago. Do you know what the wandering mage Ryze did? If it weren't for Ryze, Rune Continent would have been fucking finished.
[Laxana Crownguard's favorability towards you has increased]
As Rowan said this, the system suddenly prompted him.
Rowan looked at Lux, and saw Lux staring at her with a pair of big blue eyes, blinking and blinking.
A pair of eyes seemed to be speaking, asking Luo Wen to say a few more words.
"In short, magic is not evil. Magic is just a weapon. The key is to see who uses this weapon." Rowan said to Garen.
[Laxana Crown Guard's favorability towards you increases]
"Ridiculous words!" Garen stared at Rowan, and then said: "This is not in accordance with the rules."
"Rules? Let me give you an example, Garen." Rowan looked at Garen with a smile, and then pointed at Lux, "If, I mean if, Garen, if your sister Lux is a mage, and everyone knows it, what will you do? Put her in prison and spend the rest of her life in a dark prison, or put her on the execution platform and execute her with the cheers of nobles and civilians?"
"You!"
Garen suddenly stood up, and the sound was so loud that Zeyi, who was drinking and eating on the other side, looked over.
Rowan reached out and grabbed Garen's arm, and exerted force suddenly.
"Sit down and talk, why stand up? You can't beat me."
Lux's eyes became brighter and brighter, looking at Rowan, and then at Garen.
Facing Lux's beautiful big eyes, Garen immediately shifted his sight and said, "No such thing will happen. There is no magician in the Crown Guard family. Don't talk nonsense."
"I said it's if. If Lux is really a magician, what will you do?"
"I"
Lux also looked at Garen with hope in her eyes.
"I won't let such a thing happen. Anyway, please shut up, Rowan."
"Tsk." Rowan put his hands behind his back, hugged his head and snorted at Garen with disdain.
The reason why Rowan dared to ask this was because Rowan had seen Teacher Xu tell a story. In that video, Garen clearly knew that his sister was a magician, and in order to protect Lux, Garen also proposed that Lux marry Jarvan IV. Only in this way could Lux's identity as a magician be hidden forever.
However, everything was destroyed by someone imprisoned in the dungeon.
In short, Garen is really a super sister-con.
For Lux, he can even change the ideas he has cultivated since childhood.
On the side, Lux listened to Garen's words, her bright and beautiful eyes dimmed, and her hands were entangled under the table.
But Lux quickly looked at Rowan, her eyes full of curiosity.
Why did he speak for the mage?
Mages are evil, this is the education that Demacians have been instilled with since childhood, and now this person is speaking for the mage
Lux didn't know how to describe this behavior, but at the moment, she was indeed full of curiosity and affection for Rowan.
In Demacia, a country where magic is completely banned and people hate magic in their blood, Lux, as the daughter of the Crown Guard, has magic, and she has no ordinary magic.
Although Lux had never come into contact with a mage, she knew clearly that she was different from ordinary mages, because no mage would be like her. The magic power in her body was increasing every day. As she grew older, Lux could no longer control her magic power.
Her magic talent was far beyond that of ordinary people!
Let's put it this way. In the Mithril City, Lux often locked herself up because she was afraid that her uncontrolled magic would be seen by people in her family. The magic power in her body was so strong that she could not control it at all. The uncontrolled magic would make her glow from time to time, yes, glow.
Her body was shining with bright flashes, which was extremely conspicuous in the daytime. Whenever her magic power was out of control, Lux would tremble and hide in the room, covered with a quilt, for fear that her secret would be discovered by others.
She was afraid that she would become a shame to the Crown Guard family, and that her parents and brother would look at her with strange eyes. She hated this power and the forbidden power she had obtained.
For this reason, Lux had been frightened since childhood and had been suppressing herself.
By now, Lux could no longer suppress her power. She only shone by herself at the beginning, and then the light became stronger and stronger. Now, she only needs to leak a little magic to completely illuminate an entire building and an entire canyon.
Lux's magic is growing day by day, and her fear is also growing day by day.
But now, there is someone who tells her that magic is not evil, but the evil is the people who use magic.
Magic is just a prop.
How old is Lux?
She is only fifteen years old now!
She is a girl, a girl who is spoiled by her family, irresponsible, afraid of many things in the world, afraid of the dark, and afraid of insects.
Therefore, Lux even thought that she is now the enemy of the entire Demacia, but now, a boy stands beside her and speaks for her.
How can Lux not be grateful for this?
[Laxana Crown Guard’s favorability increased]
[Laxana Crown Guard’s favorability reached three stars]
“.”
Sister, I just said a few words for the mage, and your favorability just went up?
No wonder you were deceived by Silas!
No wonder you fell in love with Silas!
Rowan looked at Lux and thought strangely.
“Okay, Lux, if there is nothing else, go back quickly.” Garen looked at Lux and said seriously.
He had suffered enough shocks today, which reminded Garen of his childhood, but. He was afraid of that memory, the memory that would make him full of burden and fear.
Therefore, he looked at Lux and wanted to drive Lux back to Misilver City.
At least there, Lux was absolutely safe.
"No, I'm not going anywhere." Lux shook his head at Garen, thought for a while and said: "Next year you will join the Fearless Vanguard, and then your parents will come to Xiongdu. I won't go back. I'll wait for them here."
"I have money, I can live alone in Xiongdu, and my aunt is here too, I can live in my aunt's house." Lux said seriously.
"You are making a fuss!"
"I'm grown up, brother, I can make my own decisions." Lux looked at Garen and retorted.
Without waiting for Garen to respond, Lux continued: "Also, I want to talk to your friend alone."
"What do you want to talk to him about?! Lux, before coming to this restaurant, you didn't even know who he was! But now you want to talk to him alone? How can I rest assured about you like this?" The anger on Garen's face became more and more.
Lux lowered her head, then raised it again, "You can sit over there, will you feel relieved? Will you feel better?"
"." Garen groaned, then stood up and walked towards Zeyi.
After seeing Garen leave, Lux looked at Rowan and whispered, "Don't you hate mages?"
"Why should I hate mages?" Rowan looked at Lux.
"."
"Do you know something?" Lux whispered.
Rowan looked at Garen and saw Garen staring at him. Seeing Rowan looking over, Garen stretched out his hand, first pointed at his eyes with two fingers, and then pointed at Rowan.
It was easy to understand that Garen was expressing that he was looking at Rowan.
Rowan was happy, stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and shook his head at Garen.
Seeing this, Garen gritted his teeth.
He really hated this country boy who didn't know the rules!
Then, Rowan tilted his head and looked at Lux, saying seriously: "If you are asking if I know you are a mage, then I have to say that I know you are a mage."
Lux's delicate body trembled, and she pursed her lips: "It is true, otherwise you would not use me as an example to your brother in front of me. You are helping me, right?"
Lux is a chatterbox, she continued: "Rowan, you are the first human who knows that I am a mage. In addition, only one big friend knows that I am a mage."
"Don't worry, Lux, I won't say anything, because... I am also a mage like you." Rowan looked at Lux seriously.
Well, as long as I draw you next month, I will be a mage.
"Really?!" Lux's eyes became brighter.
[Laxana Crown Guard's favorability towards you increases]
[Laxana Crown Guard's favorability reaches four stars]
"."
It's done, I will really be a mage next month.
Rowan thought so.
But
Lux, are you sure I am the first human to know that you are a mage?
Are you sure that your parents, aunt, and brother don't know that you are a mage?
Rowan looked at the excited beautiful blonde and thought with amusement.
She knows nothing.
She has always lived under the protection of her family.
"Will I see you again in the future?" Lux asked cautiously.
"Of course, I am in the army. If you want to see me, you can come to me anytime." Rowan smiled at Lux, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
Lux became visibly happier.
This was the first time she met another mage.
And, it was a friendly mage.
This was also the first time she had a secret in common with someone.
The girl's mind is not difficult to guess.
Rowan thought so.
————
Remember to read this chapter!
Lux is not a saintly green tea, on the contrary, Lux is the protagonist of Demacia, a strong, beautiful girl who is watching over the future of Demacia.
As for Sylas, he is not a pure villain. It can only be said that Sylas is forced by the laws of Demacia to be what he is now, but Sylas's choice is to destroy.
Different births, same experiences, same magic, but one chooses to protect and change, and the other chooses to destroy and overthrow.
But Demacia is really my favorite country, because in this country, ordinary people can really have dignity as long as they abide by the law.
"For justice, for the king, for glory." Sounds noisy? But very reassuring.
