LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

It was dark, and there was silence outside the window.

Seraphine and Levi were chatting happily and were not in a hurry to rest.

She relaxed and kicked off her slippers, took off her white stockings, flexed her toes to free herself, then crawled onto the bed. Like a child listening to a bedtime story, she adjusted her position and leaned into Levi's arms. , pestered him with interest and asked:

"Then why does Demacia ban demons?"

Now that they were all talking about Demacia, Seraphine couldn't help but think of the "Hex Flying Gate incident" mentioned by Janna earlier.

"Even the envoys have to be so particular when they go overseas - is magic really so evil to them?"

Seraphine also knows the reason why Demacia bans demons. Demacia also explains this to the outside world:

Because the ancestors who founded Demacia were the survivors of the war who escaped from the Rune Wars in the Roxy Plains in the east and hid in the Demacia Basin shrouded in the Forbidden Stone Forest in the west.

They witnessed the horror of magic with their own eyes during that protracted world war, and witnessed how much damage this extraordinary power could cause to the human kingdom——

Most importantly, they witnessed how greedy, cruel, and tyrannical a mage who possesses this power can be.

Therefore, in the eyes of the ancestors of Demacia, mages are either criminals or potential criminals.

Because human laws cannot restrain these "mutated creatures", they should be preventively arrested, deported, or even physically erased before they cause harm to humans.

And this is the origin of Demacia's ban on demons.

"But..." Seraphine still felt something was wrong.

She is a mage herself and knows many mages. In most cases, magic is a useful tool, and the mage is also a high-level human resource that can be controlled and utilized.

She really couldn't understand why Demacia would give up this resource because of choking.

Moreover, it’s just a ban on demons, and it’s so extreme. Not only are there specialized demon-seeking corps in the country, but even missions overseas must be so sensitive to guard against magic.

"Why is this?" Seraphine asked.

After such a long period of political training, she instinctively realized that there must be a deeper reason.

"Well..." Levi was not in a hurry to answer: "Seraphine, the answer is actually very simple. You only need to use the method we used to analyze Noxus and try to analyze Demacia. ”

Noxus and Demacia are both superpowers dominated by transcendent nobles.

Why are their attitudes towards mages so different? One is cared for like a treasure, and the other is avoided like a nuclear waste?

"You only need to think about the biggest difference between Noxus and Demacia to understand this problem." Levi reminded Seraphine as he gently stroked her long, silky hair in his arms.

Seraphine quickly thought: "The biggest difference between Noxus and Demacia is-"

"One of them is aggressive and never satisfied, but the other never sets foot outside the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest and never expands its territory!"

Why is Noxus so aggressive?

Levi said in that article that Noxus needs more territory and needs to continue to make the cake bigger in order to satisfy the extraordinary people who continue to emerge from the civilian population and fill the appetites of the new military aristocrats.

So why doesn't Demacia do this?

"Because it can't be done," Levi said.

After all, Demacia is an immigrant country built from scratch by foreign refugees. The Roxy Plains where Noxus is located had mature human civilization thousands of years ago.

"So when the ancestors of Demacia established a foothold in the Forbidden Stone Forest, gradually established cities, countries, and civilizations, slowly integrated with the indigenous primitive tribes, and completely digested the fertile basin that was called the Land of Abundance— —”

"In the vast land outside the Forbidden Stone Forest, the Noxus Empire has been rising for some time."

If invasion could really bring benefits, Demacia would certainly do it. They're not really knights of justice, so why wouldn't they do something that's profitable?

But the problem is that by the time Demacia is able to engage in aggression and expansion, Noxus has become a behemoth, completely blocking their way to external expansion.

Not to mention Demacia's expansion, it would be good if it could not be invaded by Noxus.

“So Demacia completely gave up its expansion route, and instead formed alliances with many kingdoms and city-states outside of the Forbidden Stone Forest, and used these small city-states between Demacia and Noxus as strategic buffers. Resisting the westward invasion of the Noxian Empire year after year."

"This is why Demacia will become the 'Knights of Justice'."

Because they arrived too late, Noxus had wiped all the oil and water out of Valoran. Demacia doesn't even want to be a knight of justice.

So, here comes the problem.

"Every country in Runeterra needs to face the strong contradiction between the old ruling class and the grassroots extraordinary people emerging among the people, as well as their strong demands for power and wealth."

"Noxus can rely on external aggression and enlarging the pie to alleviate conflicts."

"Demacia cannot invade other countries, so how should they resolve this conflict?"

There is no need for Levi to continue reminding her of the answer, Seraphine can think of it herself.

"I know!" Her eyes lit up: "It's the Forbidden Demon!"

Noxus can expand, and expansion always succeeds. Therefore, they can boldly recruit the grassroots extraordinary people emerging from the people, give them power and fiefdom, and let them integrate into the ruling class of the empire.

These grassroots extraordinary people in turn enhanced the empire's combat power, making it increasingly impossible to stop the empire's expansion.

But there is only so much land in Demacia, and the cake is so big. The old nobles have already divided up the territory, and there really is no extra land left for newcomers.

Under such circumstances, grassroots extraordinary people continue to emerge among the people - this is not a high-level human resource for the kingdom, but a bunch of powerful time bombs scattered among the people.

Therefore, Demacia can only fall into endless internal strife and take matters into its own hands to preventively eradicate these unstable factors among the people.

"Then why do they only ban magic? Aren't warriors without magic also extraordinary?" Seraphine was confused again.

"This is even simpler." Levi said with a smile: "Wealth without power to protect is like a store in a Zaun community. It's just a zero-dollar purchase that can make everything you own disappear. "

"So Demacia still has to rely on extraordinary people no matter what."

Forbidden demons have already destroyed the Great Wall. If even soldiers have to be careful, they are really destroying their martial arts and seeking death.

Although warriors are also extraordinary people, they are different from mages in that:

"The growth curve of a warrior is relatively gentle, and it is very safe and controllable compared to a mage."

Except for a very small number of monsters with extraordinary talents, almost every powerful transcendent warrior has to go through a long process from weak to strong like Riven.

Their extraordinary strength must be honed inch by inch through persistent practice and life-and-death fights, just like forging a sword.

And in the Kingdom of Demacia, who can provide a mortal with this kind of systematic physical training and enough practical training?

Only Demacia's army, of course.

Therefore, it is difficult for the people to naturally emerge extraordinary warriors who can threaten the rulers of Demacia. Instead, the old nobles who rule Demacia can continuously create their own team of extraordinary warriors through family inheritance and war training.

"So the famous transcendent warriors in the history of Demacia are almost all from the kingdom's nobles. There are some who come from poor families, but the number is very small."

"If ordinary people want to rely on exercise to become extraordinary warriors - not to mention the various expensive potions to temper their bodies, they may not be able to afford the large amount of meat required to replenish their physical fitness."

"So the old nobles of Demacia are very confident about warriors." Levi paused slightly: "Compared with warriors, mages are different."

Warriors need to upgrade and buy equipment bit by bit, and the process is stable and controllable.

But the mage is just like cheating. A seemingly weak mage apprentice, if you don't pay attention, he can turn around and conjure up level 18 + six gods for you.

For example, Syndra is still imprisoned in Ionia.

Another example is Seraphine herself:

Before she awakened, she was so weak that she couldn't even defeat the Demon Swamp Frog. Once she awakened, she could easily deal with a large number of gangsters.

"The power of a mage is completely uncontrollable. No one knows how much potential a mage can unleash after awakening, and no one knows how fast a mage can grow and to what extent he can grow."

"So for the Kingdom of Demacia, the existence of folk mages is a time bomb that threatens the rule of the kingdom."

As he spoke, Levi stopped in time, looked at Seraphine in his arms and said:

"Seraphine, now you understand-"

"Demacia has never hated mages, but uncontrolled folk mages. What they have banned has never been magic, but the unstable factors that threaten the rule of the old aristocracy. Of course..."

"What they protect from the 'evil mage' is never human civilization or the people of Demacia, but the power and interests that they absolutely cannot share and are even more unwilling to give up."
