Chapter 198 People's Referendum Day

Sitting in the carriage, Laxana hugged the magic book tightly in her arms.

The curtain of the carriage was slightly opened, and through a corner of the curtain, she could see the scenery along the way to the capital.

The streets were full of citizens of Demacia, who saluted the carriage and kept calling Laxana's name.

I don't know when she had so many people supporting her.

"Teacher, I will definitely not let them down, right?"

Laxana asked in her heart without moving her lips, her breathing was extremely slow, and she seemed to care about this question and the corresponding answer.

"It depends on what kind of result you want."

A gentle and soft voice sounded in her mind.

"Hmm" Laxana tilted her head and thought for a while, and asked carefully, "Abolish the Magic Ban?"

"This matter is just a formality now, you know it in your heart."

The teacher's still gentle words made Laxana a little embarrassed for a while, although no matter where the news came from, it was certain that the Magic Ban would be abolished.

But as a mage who has been hiding for a long time, her heart is still full of uneasiness.

And talking with the teacher can effectively ease her emotions, even if she knows the answer in her heart.

"Teacher, what if I want to preserve Demacia under the attack of Noxus?" Laxana asked another question.

"Why do you think Noxus doesn't invade Demacia?"

Hearing the teacher's question, Laxana's eyebrows slightly frowned, staring at the scenery passing by the window, thinking for a moment before replying:

"If what I have learned these days is the real Noxus, then attacking is what they should do. Fighting to support war and taking pride in killing are what Noxus does. But now."

While Laxana was narrating and analyzing, she suddenly had a possible guess in her mind, and she subconsciously blurted out her thoughts:

"Unless... they are looking at greater benefits!"

"Then what kind of benefits do you think can make Noxus endure?"

In Laxana's mind, the teacher's persuasion came again.

Because of the previous analysis, Laxana spoke bluntly without any pause this time:

"I can think of two possibilities. The first one is very simple and the purpose is very clear. Noxus wants a complete Demacia."

"As for the second situation, it is much more complicated. Perhaps our existence is a good thing for Noxus." Laxana paused slightly and thought about a suitable word.

"Noxus does not want to invade our territory so quickly. Perhaps there is something holding them back. After completing the occupation, they will not be able to obtain this thing. It is very important to Noxus."

When she said the last sentence, Laxana bit her lips lightly and frowned tightly.

The second situation is almost impossible. There are not many things that cannot be obtained after occupation. Even Demacia may not have them.

In her opinion, Noxus wants a complete Demacia more.

If Demacia gathers all its strength, it will be unable to withstand the pressure and surrender to Noxus.

By then, Noxus's reputation will reach its peak, and it will be easier for them to conquer the entire Runeland.

On the contrary

If Demacia dies in the war, it will arouse the will of other regions to fight, which is not conducive to the future unification of Noxus.

Laxana spoke out her thoughts all at once, and her mind remained silent during this period, but she knew that the teacher was listening quietly, just like countless conversations in the past.

Finally, she concluded and added:

"Noxus is so powerful that they are now looking down on all living beings with a contemptuous attitude. They regard the Runeland as their own possession, so they want to get it completely."

When saying this, Laxana's heart couldn't help but feel a strong tremor. She herself was shocked by such remarks and such arrogant analysis.

In fact, it was difficult for her to describe her feelings about Noxus before. Her feet had never set foot on that land and had never breathed the wind of freedom there.

However, whether it was the description of the people around her or the information obtained from the books, everything that Noxus symbolized was constantly colliding with her beliefs.

So today, at this moment, she expressed the thoughts that were suppressed in her heart along with the expression of emotions.

"Laxana, this doesn't sound like your answer."

Hearing the teacher's emotionless answer, Laxana smiled bitterly in her heart:

"Yes, if it were me a few months ago, I would definitely refute what I just said."

"But now, when I face Noxus from the perspective of Demacia, I can't see any hope."

"I heard from my brother that there are only three people in Noxus who are stronger than the Winged Protector. Even their vice president has the ability to compete with the Winged Protector in a short period of time."

Laxana took a deep breath and looked helpless:

"If it were Demacia, even with the Guardian of Ryze, there would only be two. In terms of strength comparison, Demacia has fallen into a complete disadvantage."

Although this sentence is very touching, it is a fact that cannot be changed or refuted. Laxana bit her lip and said it.

She does not avoid the facts because of hate or exclusion.

A long time ago, Lakshana has studied magic with the teacher. She knows how powerful her personal power is in this world.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if she only used her to provide magic Last night, she could compete with the fearless pioneer led by his brother, and even won it.

As for her now

Even if most of Xiong is cast by the banned magic stones, she is still confident to completely destroy this with magic.

But her magical strength, according to her teacher's estimation, was replaced by Noxus at most only the strength of the members, and even many of them were stronger than her.

She didn't think that the teacher's judgment was wrong. The leader of the black rose was said to be one of the members. In the face of such a powerful black magician, she consciously had no chance of winning.

"This is not the answer in your heart, or it is not comprehensive."

Hearing the teacher's words, Laksuna nodded lightly, and pulled out from the emotions just now.

"Now we may be extremely small, maybe we have to give in for the kingdom, but we will not kneel on their knees. We will still accumulate power to maintain the power of World War I."

"They can let us obey with force, but it is never possible to use magic to let us kneel."

Lakanshana's expression is unprecedented.

In order to protect the people, maybe Demasia will choose to yield. But they will retain their bottom line and rely on their own strength to fight for peace.

She likes the story of Ecasia that the teacher tells, how is it similar to how many of the current Noxus and Demasia.

Ecashia resisted because of his oppression. Although the land was eventually turned into the deserted land of the void, at least, they also laid a piece of flesh and blood of Shu Rima and accelerated the decline of the Xerse Ma Empire.

Perhaps the future Demasia needs to learn from the former Ecashia.

They do not need to collude with the void as Ecasia, but they also have their own cards and the determination will be burned at any time.

Demasia, permanent!

Da, da, da.

The speed of the carriage has slowed down, and today's destination is coming.

Lakanshana's blue eyes revealed firmness. She clenched the magic book's fingers slightly. As the carriage stopped, she walked out of the car.

Under the escort of Celas and his brother Galen, step by step, steady and solidly walked towards the Dawn Castle.

Today's sunlight is very good, brilliant and grand, Lakshanna's blond hair is dazzling under light, just like the afterglow of the sun.

Galen's negative armor followed behind Lakshanna, and the dazzling light made him a moment of stun. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt the sister in front of him exuding a majestic aura.

So unfamiliar, but people can't look away.

The gentle and kind younger sister walked in front of him, but a queen who was about to ascend the throne under the dress.

It was startled by his sudden thoughts, Galen lowered his eyes, hurriedly converged his mind, continued to fulfill his duties of his guard, and walked towards the Dawn Castle with Lakanshana.

The shining scene of the golden light was also witnessed by Celas. He hid the face hidden in the shadow of the hat, with a sense of respect.

Such a shimmer. It was the object he followed.

"Ms. Rakshanna Ms. Ms. Ms. Ms. Ms. Ms. Guardian."

With the loud announcement of the attendant, Lakshana Ang walked into the parliamentary hall.

Galen and Celas could only send Lakanshana at the door, and then they were taken to the partial hall.

When Lakshana entered the parliamentary hall, most of the people present have cast a friendly and kind -hearted gaze.

In the previous parade, most people knew the special features of Lakanshana, even if they were in the area where they were in power, Lakanshana had many loyal fans.

There are only a few ruling officials who have not heard of the girls who have not heard of the girl's deeds. They look curiously looking at the girl who came in.

It's not long before the beginning of the beginning.

Many representatives from various regions gathered in the halls of the parliament. Most of these people are bearded and white. Even a few ruling officials come, and most of them are middle -aged nobles.

So far, there is no younger representative than Lakanshana.

Moreover, the other party represents Xiongdu.

Lacanna faced with everyone's eyes and smiled back from those friendly gaze. She walked on the new red carpet in the central government and came to the forefront of everyone.

In front of her, there were eight officials who symbolized eight important areas of Demasia.

Then, the high steps lead to the throne.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Jiawen III was facing the light, sitting on the throne on the crown of the head.

Everything is solemn, majestic, silent and grand.

Standing at the forefront, Lakshanna smiled and gave a gift to the top:

"Xiongdu represented Lakanshanna Mian Guard, the citizen of Xiongdu to the king, and the eight major officials who have been respected!"

Her bending, her tone. Her etiquette made people unable to pick a little problem, as if she had already performed countless times, and she was not timid by the little girl.

Bang----

At this moment, the huge white stone door of the parliament hall slowly closed.

Representatives from all regions of Demacia were present.

The executive minister, Duke Grantham, stood up gracefully. He first saluted the king on the throne, then bowed slightly to all the representatives standing below, and then announced loudly:

"Today is the day of the people's referendum initiated by the noble King of Demacia, Jarvan III."

"Only the proposal on whether to abolish the ban on magic and whether to restore the status of mages. Everyone present today will represent tens of millions of citizens of Demacia and express their valuable opinions."

On the day of the people's referendum, one of the eight officials will generally preside over the ceremony according to the type of proposal.

Laxana set her sights on the eight officials, especially her aunt and uncle.

According to the previous regulations, the first representatives to vote were the eight officials.

Tiana leaned slightly to the side, her expression as serious as ever, and she was the first to raise her hand to express her thoughts:

"Tiana Crown Guard, as the Grand Marshal, supports the proposal to abolish the Magic Ban."

Then, Adair, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was beside her, raised his right hand:

"Adair Bouvier, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, supports the proposal to abolish the Magic Ban."

While Adair was speaking, Eleanor's eyes moved up, she glanced at the king's face, and then raised her right hand after Adair finished speaking:

"Eleanor Light Shield, as the noble director, supports the proposal to abolish the Magic Ban."

Then, the other eight officials raised their right hands one after another. Except for the changes in their names and positions, the results of their expressions were the same:

"Bristol. Supports the proposal to abolish the Magic Ban."

"Grantham. Supports the proposal to abolish the Magic Ban."

"."

Finally, in a solemn atmosphere, seven of the eight officials expressed their opinions of "agreeing to abolish the Magic Ban."

Everyone focused their attention on the last of the eight officials, Eldred.

If we talk about who will be most affected by the abolition of the Magic Ban, it must be the Demacia Demon Seekers.

And Eldred, as the leader of the Demon Seekers, also represents the will of all the Demon Seekers.

After a brief silence, Eldred raised his left hand and spoke in a flat voice:

"Eldred, on behalf of the Demon Seekers, opposes the abolition of the Magic Ban."

It has nothing to do with his choice, this is the idea of ​​all the Demon Seekers.

This is also the answer he got from everyone he personally called at the Demon Seekers headquarters last night.

The people in the hall were not surprised by Eldred's statement, and even showed some approval in their eyes.

Everyone knows that the Crown Guard family supports the abolition of the Magic Ban, but Eldred did not represent his personal position and the Crown Guards, but voted against it from the position of the Demon Seekers.

This! It is the symbol of Demacia's spirit of justice.

"Among the eight officials, seven are in favor and one is against. Next, the representative of Fosbyro will begin to express the opinions of the citizens." Duke Grantham made a timely summary and promotion.

In the referendum, all votes are divided into 100 parts. If the number of votes in favor or against exceeds 50, the proposal will take effect or be invalid.

Among them, each of the eight officials holds one part, and the king's opinion represents four parts.

The remaining 88 parts are given different numbers of votes according to the population of each town in each region.

Xiongdu is the largest city in Demacia, with a population of hundreds of thousands. It holds four votes, which is equal to the king's.

Since its founding, Demacia has adhered to the principle of equality for all citizens. And they will continue this in the future.

Fosbyro is named after Laxana's grandfather, Fosian. Her grandfather pierced the devil's black heart with a sharp sword in that town, but unfortunately, her grandfather died tragically there.

The representative of Fosbyro was a white-haired old man. When he was mentioned, he raised his right hand high, and his voice was old but strong:

"In the Fosbyro town area, nearly 70% of the citizens support the proposal. On behalf of Fosbyro, I support the abolition of the magic ban."

Following his voice, representatives from other regions spoke out their own situations:

"Secret Silver City supports the abolition of the magic ban."

"Dornhold opposes the abolition of the magic ban."

"Tobitia supports the abolition of the magic ban."

In the hall, the loud voices came one after another, beating like a drum in Laxana's heart, making her mood not calm.

According to the preliminary survey received by the Crown Guard yesterday, the number of votes in support of the proposal is about 60%, and this is the case that the king and half of the eight officials may vote against it.

In fact, for most regions, the magic ban is a very contradictory existence.

People related to magic are deeply hurt by magic.

Because Demacia banned magic, a series of arrest and search policies were strict but not relaxed, such as the existence of the magic search corps. Under such a high-pressure policy, mages often resisted fiercely, resulting in many adverse consequences.

For areas that have been harmed by mages, citizens would not pass such a proposal.

As long as a mage appeared by chance in the surrounding area, it could cause irreparable disaster to the town.

No one would sit and wait for death, and almost every new mage would choose to resist.

And resistance often causes harm, to oneself and others.

But on the other hand, every family that has had a magician knows all too well the suffering brought by the magic ban.

Perhaps the wife is no longer a wife, the daughter is no longer a daughter, and the family is gone in an instant.

It is easy to erase a person, a life from the world, but their past and traces of existence are indelible.

When the wind blows through the desert, it leaves traces of the wind.
