Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

In the parliament hall, the voices of representatives from various regions rang out one after another,

Some of their voices were loud, some were thin, some were high-pitched...different tones echoed in the hall, dissipated, and echoed again.

When the representative of Green Teeth Peak said "support the abolition of the prohibition of demons", Laxana's nervous mood suddenly relaxed.

At this moment, there are already 47 votes in favor of repealing the ban on magic.

Together with the 4 votes cast by the citizens of Xiongdu, the proposal has already reached the point where it can be passed.

The magical flower...will bloom freely in the land of Demacia from tomorrow on.

Even if the final result is doomed, the vote is still held under the auspices of the Duke of Grantham.

It's just that the delegates standing at the bottom of the hall have different expressions, some with smiles on the corners of their mouths, some with their shoulders slumped and relaxed movements, and some...with resentful expressions.

Finally, as most of the districts cast their votes, the final result was fixed at 66:26.

66 votes in favor and 26 against.

Currently, there are only four votes left for Laxana to represent Xiongdu, and four votes in the hands of the king.

The result was basically doomed. The people in the parliament hall looked complicated, and looked at Laxana, who was standing in the forefront of representatives from all regions.

Laxana clenched the book in her hand, a smile on the corner of her mouth, bowed slightly to everyone, and said loudly:

"The representative of Xiongdu, the director of the Illuminati Society, the magician of light Laksana Crown Guard, representing 80% of the citizens of Xiongdu - support the abolition of the ban on magic."

The moment Laxana's voice fell, the entire hall burst into an uproar.

"Light Magician???"

"how is this possible?"

"..."

They would never have thought that Laksana, who helped to abolish the ban on magic, was a mage herself.

For a time, a strange thought arose in everyone's heart.

On the square table where the eight officials were, Tiana's brows were slightly wrinkled, and she did not agree with Laxanna's willfulness at the moment.

The best time to reveal the magic would be when they put Laxana in Eldred's place.

A girl who manages a wizard, it is normal to contact and learn magic.

Revealing your identity early may make these things more meaningful, but at the same time, there is a probability that the results will become confusing.

However, since Laxana told her in advance and made her own choice, she will try her best to assist her.

In her thoughts, Tiana raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the king secretly. She was ready to pull him into the water.

Demacia, it's not just Crownguard girls who are mages...

Laxana, who was standing under the stage, did not have stage fright, but walked slowly into the middle of the crowd. She stretched out her right hand with a kind smile on her face, palm facing up, and gathered endless rays of light in her hands, which was no less than transparent The morning light poured into the room through the glass window.

Everyone saw this extremely bright light extremely clearly and deeply, and all the representatives breathed a little.

"Lady Crownguard... turns out to be a mage!"

"Unbelievable magic..."

"So, does she represent the mage's position..."

"I felt that Miss Crown Guard cared too much about mage before, but I didn't expect that she was a mage herself."

"Only Mage, do you know more about Mage..."

"..."

Looking at Laxana who unabashedly released her magic, a wry smile appeared on everyone's face.

Most of them have accepted the fact that the ban on demons has been abolished. Even if Laxanna declares herself, no one will come forward to complain and make noise.

After all, in addition to being a mage, Laxana comes from one of the most prestigious families in Demacia, the Crown Guard.

More or less, they have all been helped and supported by the Crown Guard.

The repeal of the ban on magic is imminent, and they have just been given the opportunity to express their position.

While most people were focusing on Laxanna's hands, Jarvan III, who was on the throne, drooped slightly, and Tiana's eyes crossed briefly.

The face of Jarvan III maintained the expression of the past, and he slowly opened his mouth on the throne and said:

"Everyone please be quiet."

After everyone's voices subsided and their eyes focused on him, he slowly stood up and raised the scepter in his right hand.

His move, everyone already understands, the light shield family and the king also support the abolition of the ban on magic.

But everyone has not recovered, and they are still immersed in the impact of Laxana being the dyer.

Jarvan III calmly put down his scepter and announced loudly:

"According to the results of the people's referendum, I declare... Demacia will abolish the ban on magic from today! All citizens of Demacia, whether they are demon dyers or ordinary people, will enjoy the same rights."

Snapped!

At the same time as Jarvan announced, everyone below stood up straight, even the eight officials stood up from their seats, straightening their bodies and facing the direction of the entrance to the parliament hall with the king.

In the direction of the door, there is a Demacian flag hanging high.

Jarvan III looked serious, raised his scepter slightly, and took the lead in shouting:

"Demacia, absolutely fair!"

Everyone clenched their fists with their right hands, placed across their left shoulders, and shouted in unison to the national flag:

"Demacia, absolutely fair!"

After a long time, when Jarvan III put down his scepter, the others put down their arms and turned their bodies in the direction of the king.

From today, the dyer can also walk in the light of Demacia.

From today, all demon dyers will enjoy the same treatment as citizens.

Starting today, all demon dyers can join the army and do their part for Demacia.

Starting today, Demacia embraces magic!

After everyone slowly digested the news, it was the next step after the proposal was repealed.

Witnessed by representatives of all regions, the eight officials and the king jointly decide on the policy related to the abolition of the proposal to deal with the problems that the abolition of the proposal will cause.

Eldred and Tiana looked at each other and nodded slightly to each other.

Before Grantham announced the discussion, he said calmly:

"The ban on demons has been abolished, and as an army of demon seekers, I feel that I shouldn't still be sitting in the position of the eight major officials."

His words made everyone a little surprised, but they took it for granted.

Now that the ban on magic has been abolished, there is no need for magic seekers to exist.

Without waiting for other responses, Tiana glanced at the king and solemnly proposed:

"I propose to change the Demon Seeker Legion to the Demacian Guard Legion, continue to defend Demacia's comfort, and arrest those who commit crimes in the territory."

Jarvan III was expressionless, no one knew what he was thinking, he did not refuse, but nodded:

"It's a good proposal, what do others think?"

The other eight officials had no opinion, and the representatives below just watched quietly.

Originally, demon hunters were usually responsible for catching fugitives and other tasks, but now they are only officially appointed, and the original responsibilities of searching for demons have been cut off, and everyone feels that there is no problem.

On the contrary, Princess Eleanor, the director of the nobles, suddenly said:

"But if it is changed to the establishment of the Guard Corps, as the commander of the Corps, it should not be eligible to be ranked among the eight major officials."

Her words are no problem to everyone. The Guard Corps has a heavy responsibility, but it is only responsible for civil and criminal cases in the kingdom, and is indeed not qualified to become the eighth official.

Each of the Eight Great Officials represents the absolute authority in their own field.

Just like Grand Marshal Tiana, she nominally controls all the military forces in the kingdom, even the light shield barriers. And the Guard Corps should only be an organization under her command.

"As it should be."

Eldred didn't have the slightest difference. Instead, he placed the scepter that symbolized the Eight Great Officials, walked down from his seat, and stood beside Laxana.

His actions made Eleanor feel that the force was on the cotton, and she couldn't help frowning.

Starting from the Nat incident, the Light Shield and the Crown Guard basically broke up completely.

No matter how unforgivable Nat was, he should not have been pulled into the sun for trial.

From that day on, the reputation of Light Shield began to fall unstoppably.

On the contrary, it was the Crown Guard, who was in full swing because Laxana led the procession and judged Nat.

Today, if they can pull down one of the eight top officials of the crown defender's family, it can be regarded as their victory.

But faintly, Eleanor had a bad feeling.

"Before dealing with the follow-up of the proposal, due to the vacancy of the eight officials, I have a proposal."

Tiana's face was solemn, and she said with a businesslike appearance:

"Finance, administration, military, nobility, civil affairs, diplomacy, search for magic, law. These are the respective fields represented by our eight officials."

Seeing everyone nodded in agreement, her voice paused and continued:

"Now the duty of searching for magic is no longer, but we have ushered in the change of the abolition of the ban on magic. So I propose to change the field of search for magic to the field of magic, add a minister of magic, and lead all matters related to the mages in Demacia."

As soon as her words came out, the others immediately understood what the Crown Guard was thinking.

Coupled with the previous scene where Laxana exposed the identity of the magician, the intention was already obvious.

The eight neutral officials are indifferent, and they have no opinion on the mage.

The light shield eight officials headed by Eleanor looked a little ugly. She glanced at Laxanna below, and saw Jarvan III above her giving her a subtle wink.

Feeling the meaning of Jarvan III, Eleanor's heart moved slightly, remembering what happened to Jarvan before, and said without hesitation:

"The establishment of the Minister of Magic to manage magic should be like this, but the candidate has yet to be considered. This person must be convincing. I don't know what round of strength should be in the field of magic, but according to Noxus' standards, it should be the principle of combat power first. ."

Her words also made everyone nod in agreement.

The Eight Officials symbolize the culmination of the eight realms among the citizens of Demacia.

Adair, Demacia's strongest diplomat.

Tiana, the most outstanding of the current Demacian generals, is also the sword captain of the last Fearless Vanguard.

Eleanor...  

No matter which of the eight officials, they are all people who stand at the top of their respective fields.

If a new Minister of Magic is to be established, it must be someone who has reached the limit of the magic road.

With Laxana's age and experience,

Eleanor didn't think she could match Jarvan.

The identities of the two are almost the same, even if Jia Wen has just practiced magic, but the difference in combat experience is enough to surpass Laxana who has never experienced combat.

Tiana was still expressionless, she understood what Eleanor and Jarvan III meant, but seeing the confidence on Laxanna's face below, she also smiled:

"That's it, the best candidate for the Minister of Magic will be announced in three days, and in these two days we will propose candidates for free competition. Or, anyone who wants to volunteer can propose, Demacia will not refuse any citizen to show himself. ."

Saying that, she looked down.

Even so, the premise of the Eight Great Officials is to have a strong family background behind them first, and then to compete for strength.

The people below shook their heads one after another, only Laxanna stepped forward, slightly puffed out her chest, and her face was solemn with self-confidence:

"I, Laxana Crown Guard, proposed myself to be the Eighth Officer."

Hearing this, everyone was not surprised. In the eyes of most people, the position of the top eight officials from Eldred is inevitable.

Jia Wen III raised his eyelids slightly, looked at the girl who was in high spirits under his eyes, and said calmly:

"Miss Crownguard is a good candidate. In addition, I propose Prince Jarvan to serve as Minister of Magic."

"His Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness, he can also do magic?"

"That year..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the shock caused was even greater than that of Laxanna's self-reported magician.

This statement of Jia Wen III is obviously saying that the prince is also a mage.

Even Tiana and Laxana looked at each other in surprise at this moment.

After the light shield family just broke out the Nat incident, it was directly exposed that Jarvan was the prince.

They even wondered if Jarvan III was also influenced by the Black Rose.

The Crown Guard has never done anything to be sorry to the mage, and his words and deeds are always the same. But Nat's killing of the mage's fiancee is still fresh in everyone's memory.

Jarvan III was also quite helpless at the moment. Laxanna directly announced her identity today, disrupting all his plans.

Eldred's position must be abolished, which is the consensus of all.

He had planned to talk about the fact that Jarvan was a mage in a few days, and cooperated with his deeds of apprenticeship and guardian, to build momentum among the people first, and finally win the position of the Minister of Magic.

But now the plan has been disrupted. If he doesn't say it now, Laksana will be able to take the position of the eighth official immediately.

At that time, Jarvan will lose the chance to reach the summit.

In desperation, he could only pave the way for Jarvan with his popularity. He is him, Jarvan is Jarvan.

He was getting old, and he could even feel his body declining every day. It was his greatest wish to see Jarvan take his place before he died.

The fact that Demacia Jarvan can pass on for three generations does not mean that they are hereditary, but it just happens that three consecutive kings have the highest voice among the people, and they have the support of all eight officials.

He pressed his hands down slightly, signaling everyone below to be quiet.

After everyone calmed down, he opened his mouth and said:

"Because of watching the battle between the Protector of Flying Wings and the Noxian Council President, and deeply feeling his own powerlessness, Jarvan awakened the hidden magic in his body. He originally wanted to go to the headquarters of the forbidden man to bootstrap, it was me. Stopped him. Because of the previous parade, I saw a possibly different result..."

He stood up and bowed to everyone below:

"I'm sorry for everyone's trust in me. As a representative of the entire kingdom, I didn't set an example. But Jarvan is an innocent child. He is dedicated to serving the country and only wants to use his strength to protect Demacia."

His words silenced the representatives below. Including the seven and eight officials, all stood up and bowed, daring not to accept such etiquette.

For everyone present, this was no big deal.

But they also knew that the king's actions at the moment were not for them, but for all the citizens of Demacia they symbolized.

In order for Jarvan to come to power, the king is paving the way with himself.

However, even if the people will have a lot of criticism because of this, they can only take it to heart before the king dies of old age.

In Demacia, to abolish the current king, only the eight officials proposed at the same time, and 70% of the votes in favor can be implemented.

This is the law that Demacia laid down at the beginning of the nation to ensure that Demacia will always be the Demacia of all citizens.

Tiana said with a serious face: "His Royal Highness Jia Wen is the child I grew up with. He has experienced military exploits in the army and is worthy of being a candidate."

Although everyone was surprised that it was the rival crown guard who spoke for the prince, the other eight officials also expressed their approval.

Eleanor felt the gesture in Jia Wen III's eyes, and nodded slightly, and said aloud:

"Now we should discuss the construction after the abolition of the ban on magic. In the future, even if Miss Crown Guard cannot become the Minister of Magic, she should be one of the key members, not to mention that she is still the representative of Xiongdu. I think she is qualified to serve as the representative of the eight major officials. "

The top level of Demacia is basically controlled by the Light Shield and the Crown Guard. Before the two of them helped each other, the neutral faction was basically completely excluded.

Now the two are secretly opposed to each other, but they will still obey the etiquette of the nobles on the bright side.

Since Tiana spoke out for Jarvan, their Light Shields would also make corresponding concessions.

"Second, Miss Laxana is qualified to act as an agent." Adair said.

After him, the rest of the people also agreed.

In the end, with the nods of approval from Tiana and King Jarvan III, Laxanna gave a serious salute, held the magic book in one hand, and strode to the place where her uncle Eldred sat before.

She solemnly picked up the warrant that symbolized the Eight Great Officials, held it high above her head, and swore loudly:

"For the sake of Demacia, I am willing to serve as the acting Minister of Magic and serve the people until the Minister of Magic is elected!"

After she took the oath, the representatives below greeted her with luggage.

One of the eight officials who had been vacant because of Eldred before, when Laksana sat down on the stage, was filled again...

Acting Minister of Magic Laxana Crown Guard, here we go!
