Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

At this time, Demacia was a little different from the past because of the previous parade and Nat's death.

The Demacians value justice, justice, and kindness as virtues, but the Demons seem to shred them all to shreds.

Because of the ban on magic, they persecuted innocent citizens.

And those citizens who were persecuted because of their families, many of them in turn hurt their fellow citizens.

This vicious cycle has been playing out in Demacia for hundreds of years.

Really when these bloody things were revealed, all the Demacians were addicted...

They began to ponder, thinking about what the ban had brought to Demacia...

The original intention of banning magic was to prevent magic from harming Demacia.

But from the promulgation of the prohibition of magic to the present, Demacia has suffered more damage because of magic, but it is just a different form.

If there is a mage in their family...

If, their family was also sold to Noxus by another Nat...

If their family...

Demacians are reflecting, reflecting on what they have done, and reflecting on how many Demacian virtues they have violated.

More and more people are beginning to question the meaning of banning magic.

Like the slogan the parade chanted that day:

"Magic comes with me, but Demacia sees me as a sinner..."

When the hidden tragedy is revealed, everyone fears whether they will be the next tragedy.

Demacian Dungeon.

"You haven't been here for a long time."

Silas looked up and glanced at Laxana who walked in, and calmly put down the book in his hand.

"I'm sorry for too many things to do lately."

Laxanna apologized.

It was completely different from the previous dress. Although he still held the magic book, he had changed into a white robe and carried a small bag with something bulging inside.

There was a look of weariness on her face, the parade had just ended, and she had too many things to deal with.

Fortunately, the parade was a success. Those who support the lifting of the ban have an absolute advantage.

Especially after Nat's incident was revealed, many similar incidents were exposed, which made more people stand up and support their actions.

Jarvan III also announced yesterday that a people's referendum will be launched in the next few days to decide whether to abolish the ban on magic.

And this already means that they have won half of the battle.

She raised her head, smiled reluctantly, glanced at the book called "Principles of Forbidden Magic" in Silas's hand, and said softly:

"Du Lang is a great person. He was the one who first invented the use of the Forbidden Stone."

"Yeah, reading his book gave me a lot of knowledge." Silas slowly put down the book.

With the help of the books he has read recently, he has a new way of getting out of trouble, a method that does not require surrender.

His hands were imprisoned by the Forbidden Stone handcuffs, but the Forbidden Stone did not isolate magic, but absorbed it.

When they first met, Laksana had a collision with him, and part of the other party's light magic was absorbed by the Forbidden Stone.

After figuring out the principle of the forbidden magic stone, through continuous testing, he has been able to invoke that part of the light magic.

But... its amount is still too small, to get out of trouble, at least an equal amount of magic power is needed.

Silas raised his eyelids slightly, and his mind was full of thoughts, but he still asked enthusiastically:

"When you left last time, you said you were going to do something big?"

"It has been successful. I believe that the prohibition of magic will be abolished in a short time." Laksana's face brightened.

The abolition of the forbidden magic order marks the complete release of Demacia's imprisonment.

While many people will be affected by it, she believes she can balance those relationships.

Silas was a little surprised, and he didn't care about his own thoughts, and asked:

"How could it be so simple, are you gagging everyone's mouth with your own magic?"

"Silas!"

Laxana looked like she had a headache:

"Murder and force do not solve the problem."

"But it's the best way to solve the problem." Silas didn't care.

Laxana sighed softly. She and Silas agreed on most of their ideas.

But they fundamentally disagree on how to reform Demacia.

Silas thinks they should rule by force and finally establish rules that everyone must follow.

On the other hand, she felt that force was only a guarantee, and oppression could not solve all problems. Demacians have very noble inner qualities, and as long as it is right, they will abide by it from the heart.

That's why she was hesitant to let Silas out.

Although, his teacher came up with a very good idea to imprison Silas' magic and force him to be with him.

Silas isn't necessarily someone to win over, but she also agrees with what her teacher says...

Fifteen years ago, the worst mage, Silas, was like a mage's banner.

If he can join them, the rest of the mages will soon make a choice.

"A few days ago, I planned a parade..."

Laxana slowly revealed that a few days ago

What happened, this incident had a great impact on Demacia, and everyone was thinking.

She wanted to hear from Silas before making a final decision.

Silas sneered when he heard Nat's mistakes:

"The Light Shield family is dirtier than I thought. How bright is Jarvan III on the surface, how dark is behind their family."

"They have also done a lot for Demacia. Humans are very complex creatures, and no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes." Laxana looked complicated.

Nat had to do some reluctant things because he was a sideline of Light Shield. Even if he didn't even meet his fiancée a few times, even if he never wanted to do that...

It's like her cousin who was supposed to marry Fiona, the two of them didn't know each other, and they were entangled with each other because of the family, and now they have a delicate relationship.

In the future, when faced with a powerful Fiona, she doesn't know what her cousin will do...

"I used to think that the world was pure, and I took many things for granted. Including my family, my identity, my magic..." Laxana sighed softly.

She had thought that doing good would be rewarded, and that following the law was abiding by the morals of being a Demacian.

However, her kindness may hurt people who don't want to do it.

For example, if she can't bear it today and unsuspectingly injects light magic into the forbidden magic stone. Tomorrow, maybe someone will die because of her.

Even sometimes, her obedience will make other family wives separate.

Every Demacian citizen has the duty to report the discovery of the mage. It's just that she pretends not to see it every time because of her own magic...

Even if, they will still be reported by others, even their family members.

"As it should be, we are born strong and should not be slaves of mortals." Selasse's tone was filled with resentment.

"We shouldn't be their slave owners, Silas. Everyone is equal, and the greater our ability, the greater our responsibility." Laxana whispered.

Silas frowned slightly, still slightly disapproving in his heart.

He would say this to Laxana every time, and he basically agreed with the truth... Once, he was also a teenager who was proud of Demacia.

But thinking of the pain he has suffered over the years, that kind of understanding was suppressed for a moment.

He tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath and said:

"Then you want me to forget the pain I've had? Forget the inhuman torture of the past ten years?"

"No one wants you to forget, once those people will be paid the price..."

Before Laxana could finish speaking, she was interrupted strongly by Silas, who sneered:

"The price? What's the price compared to the pain I've been through."

"Silas, your experience is representative. What if... I could make everyone volunteer to go through what you've been through?"

Laxana's voice was soft, but there was a strong sense of confidence in her words.

Hearing this, Silas raised his head in surprise. He looked at Laxana in a white robe in front of him, as if he knew the girl in front of him on the first day.

How could that kind and radiant girl say such a thing?

He hesitated for a while, but still couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart, and asked:

"how do you want to do it?"

If Laxana can do it, he might...

Laxana looked around the primitive environment of the cell, and said with an unknown emotion in her tone:

"It's not just your cage, it's the cage of all Demacians. Although we've done a lot of stupid things, most of them still have the honor of Demacia."

"You mean..." Silas seemed to have thought of something, slightly surprised.

"This is the cage of mages, and you have suffered 15 years of undue suffering here. I believe many people are willing to come here to experience your pain, we are Demacians." Laxana firmly said.

A few days ago, millions of people were willing to follow her to the parade. She believed that Demacians still had the blood of justice in their bones.

Even if they wouldn't be willing to stay here for 15 years, they would definitely be willing to understand the persecution of the Master.

Only in this way can the guilt in the hearts of those people be alleviated.

"Sounds a little interesting." Silas was noncommittal, his eyes flickering.

Hearing Laxana's plan, he felt a sense of revenge in his heart.

But fundamentally speaking, he still doesn't want to let go of those people who used to be.

"One more point..." Laxana smiled slightly.

"what?"

Looking at Laxana who was full of interest, Silas had a bad feeling in his heart.

He didn't want to be at the mercy of the girl, even if he knew that the other party was doing it for his own good.

This feeling of freedom but joy in his heart always makes him struggle and hesitate...

If he gains the power to break free, he will hide his stature to take revenge, and then leave here incognito.

Laxana's time in the cell was the brightest day in his life, like a ray of light shining on someone who had been in the dark for a long time...

He won't interfere with the girl's plans, he just wants to complete his revenge... If necessary, he will definitely stand up to help her in the future.

Laxana onwards

After walking a few steps, his hand was almost on the Forbidden Stone, and Silas's breathing was a little short.

Laksana's soft words came from his ears:

"Silas, you have unparalleled talent, and Demacia needs your strength. If the ban on magic is repealed, a new army of mages will be established, and you can occupy a place in it."

"My strength is not even as good as yours, but I still have self-knowledge."

Silas said absently, seeing Laxana's hand and touching the Forbidden Stone, which was slowly absorbing the magic from the girl's body.

Although her magic is extremely powerful, she cannot resist the power of the Forbidden Stone.

The magic was not absorbed so fast that it didn't even attract Laksana's attention.

Laxana's eyes flashed, with a little hesitation in her eyes, but she still smiled and said:

"Your potential is obvious to all. If you have enough magic, I will not be your opponent."

After a long time, she took her hand from the Forbidden Stone and straightened her body to look at Silas.

so close...

He was very surprised by his own mentality. He was only a little short of getting out of trouble, but he was not as irritable as before, but he couldn't bear it...

Silas suppressed the thoughts in his heart and forced a smile on his face:

"I'd like to try it. It would be ridiculous if I could become the captain of the mages. But even with your support and the Crown Guard, others would be against it."

Laxana smiled, and when she saw Silas' small movements, her eyes seemed to have a touch of determination.

She looked at Silas and said softly:

"Once the prohibition of demons is repealed, it will give everyone a chance to reform. Why not wait and see if it can be done."

"We are all Demacians, and I always feel that the greatest revenge for those who have given us pain is not to kill them, but to let them watch us live happily, not as they wish."

Silas raised his head in surprise when he heard this.

There are a lot of words today, which are not at all like what a kind girl can say.

He always thought that Laxana was a cold-hearted girl with her own ideas, and the other party should not have such insight.

After all, the girl did not have the same painful experience as herself.

He guessed in his heart that this should be what her elders said to him through the girl's mouth.

Do you want to wait...

Silas looked at the chains of his hands with a hesitant look on his face.

"Don't be in such a hurry, there are still a few days until the referendum, I will tell you the result as soon as possible." Laksana smiled.

She put her backpack on the ground and took out a blue linen robe from it.

Laxanna folded it where Silas could hook it, and said softly:

"It's getting colder recently, and I brought you a dress. I'll be busy these days, and I won't be back until three days later."

Without hesitation, she stepped forward and gave Silas a hug.

Silas's body froze when Laxanna hugged him, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Laxanna's hand touching the Forbidden Stone again.

At that moment, the Forbidden Magic Stone had already accumulated enough energy.

Laxana waved apologetically at Silas, grabbed the book she always carried with her every time she came, and turned to leave the dungeon.

Until the figure of the other party disappeared, Silas didn't do anything, just stared at the robe not far from his feet, his face was uncertain.

......

On the way home, Laxanna seemed to be in a good mood and her pace was cheerful.

But in her secret conversation with the teacher, she was like a child who did something wrong:

"Teacher... I'm sorry, I made my own decisions."

"If you don't pour magic into the Forbidden Stone today, you won't be Laxana."

Hearing the teacher's words, Laksana felt a little warm in her heart.

All the books she brought to Silas were carefully selected by her, so how could she not know the consequences.

She finally made her own choice...

But she also wouldn't sit idly by Silas, if he chose to go out, the light she left behind would always be by his side, preventing him from doing things he shouldn't do...

"Teacher...Thank you for letting my last willfulness go!"
