LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Soon after, Xiongdu Palace.

On the way back to the palace, King Jiawen could still maintain the benevolent demeanor of a father, a loving son, a filial son, and a harmonious king and minister in front of others.

However, after returning to the palace and away from the outside world, the already delicate atmosphere between him, the prince, Galen and Lux ​​immediately cooled down.

"You have to give me an explanation for what happened today." King Jiawen sat high on the throne and looked at the three young people "standing" in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"Uncle Jarvan~" Lux mouthed, trying to lighten the atmosphere with her childish and cute face.

"Call me Your Majesty!" The old king did not accept this trick at all.

"Laxana, don't pretend to be stupid in front of me." The old king looked at this girl who suddenly felt strange to him with cold eyes.

Lux is only 14 years old now, and she still seems to be the little golden-haired girl in his memory.

But her name as Crown Guard and what she did today can already make a king feel afraid: "You are now the general of Demacia. You should know what you did today!"

"Well..." Lux lowered her head in embarrassment and stopped talking.

Although she knew that everything she did today was just.

But stabbing Uncle King, who had been taking care of her brothers and sisters, so violently in the back did make her feel a little guilty.

"Tell me -" At this time, King Jiawen pressed on and asked: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Lux hesitated, unable to speak.

Galen, on the other hand, had a shy and honest face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, pretending to be stupid and refused to answer.

"Okay! If you don't tell me, then I'll ask Peter and Ogesha who are hiding behind you to speak -"

"Is this how the majestic Crownguard family, the Shield of the Kingdom, protects your king now?"

In a rare move, King Jarvan directly named the Pitts. When the Crownguard family was engaged and married to Eldred in the past, he had never behaved like this.

The three young men all knew that His Majesty the King was really angry.

"Father!" Finally, Prince Jiawen stood up.

He stood in front of his brother Galen and sister Lux without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Peter and Mrs. Ogesha, nor does it have anything to do with the Crownguard family."

"What happened today was all my idea!"

Prince Jiawen held his chest high and bravely shouldered the responsibility.

"You?" The king's expression froze.

"Yes!" Prince Jiawen nodded solemnly.

Old King: "..."

There was a delicate silence.

"Bastard! How can you do this!" The old king became even more angry.

This child is really hopeless.

He didn't even know he was being used as a pawn, but he took the initiative to help others.

If this continues, if the Crownguard family allows him to give the throne to Galen or Lux in the future, his silly son will probably be obedient, right?

"Call Peter and Ogesha over!" the old king became more and more angry.

But his "silly son", Prince Jiawen, was so calm at this time that he didn't look like him at all: "Father, please calm down!"

"If you think about it carefully, if this matter was really planned by Uncle Pete, how could he dare not discuss it with you in advance?"

"Aren't they afraid of offending you and being retaliated against in the future?"

"This..." The old king's eyes suddenly became complicated when he looked at his son.

Indeed, if you think about it carefully, you will know that with the political acumen of Pete and Ogesha, it is impossible for them to do what they did today.

This is not to say that there is no possibility for the Pitts to lead their army alone and threaten the king.

They're just not that naive.

If they do this kind of thing, they will definitely do it to death - just like Swain did to Darkwill.

Rather than like now, after publicly threatening the king, I still hope that the king can forgive me in the future.

"Did you really plan this?" The old king looked at his child in disbelief.

"Yes!" Prince Jiawen nodded solemnly.

"Why?" asked the old king.

"For my comrades." Prince Jiawen said, "They are heroes and they should be treated like heroes."

Still this high-sounding reason.

The old king's eyes were gloomy and uncertain.

"In order to seek justice for your comrades...is it that simple?" Since Prince Jiawen didn't seem so stupid now, the old king had to suspect that this child had other political purposes.

"Fair enough, these two words are not simple at all, father." Prince Jiawen replied: "Although those mages came in through the Arc de Triomphe, they are still shackled sinners."

"But what crime are they guilty of? Possessing magical powers?"

"When we fought in Ionia, there was magic in every breath of air we breathed. But magic did not bring destruction to Ionia. It was the greedy Noxus that brought destruction to Ionia. "

"This experience of fighting at sea made me understand that magic itself is not evil. It's just people who are evil."

"You..." The old king was speechless.

It's over. A trip abroad turned this silly son into a naive yet radical idealist.

Of course he knew what his son said, but banning demons had nothing to do with right or wrong.

The leader has long made it clear in the article - the purpose of banning magic is not to ban magic, but a ruling method adopted by Demacia to divert internal conflicts when it is unable to expand externally.

Knowing this, what the royal family should do is not to talk about truth or right or wrong, but to prioritize maintaining their own rule.

But Prince Jiawen...

"Jiawen, I asked you to read more books by the leaders before and learn how they view the world and understand politics. Didn't you read it?" the old king asked helplessly.

"Uh..." The prince looked a little embarrassed.

"I read it."

"After reading it, how can you still say such childish words?"

Isn’t it true that the royal family read Janna just to use it in reverse? Why are you still here to use it?

"Father." Prince Jiawen said seriously: "Times have changed. Forbidden magic may have been beneficial to us in the past, but now..."

Now the Demon Searcher Corps has become too big to lose, and in turn threatens the royal power.

The result is that the demon banning plan is still beneficial to the rule of the noble class, but it is seriously detrimental to the rule of the Jarvan royal family.

"You have also been thinking about abolishing the forbidden magic eucalyptus, haven't you?"

"Oh?" The old king was a little surprised.

Being able to say this, it seems that his stupid son's political level has indeed improved.

"But you should have at least informed me in advance! How dare you make your own decisions about such a big event as today?"

"Father." Prince Jiawen asked, "If I tell you my plan in advance, will you agree?"

Old King: "..."

of course not.

The enemy he is most worried about now is no longer the Demon Banning Sect in the country, but the Wind Leader Association of Zaun.

When he was suffering from the pressure of war and formed an alliance with the Leader, he never thought that the Leader would develop into a world leader in less than half a year.

And the same goes for those Noxians... These Imperial bosses got beaten up in Baru'e, and after they returned, they started pretending to be dead.

I don’t know what Commander Swain is thinking.

As the leader of the world's number one hegemony, if he doesn't stir up a rebellion, how can he still expect them, Demacia, to take the lead?

Anyway...

With the current turbulent international situation, King Jarvan no longer has the intention to play the "reconciling the outside world before settling the internal affairs first".

Some things that are not conducive to unity and conflicts that affect the united front of the anti-wind class must be put aside.

Putting aside disputes and fighting the wind together is the top priority.

Therefore, King Jiawen does not want to start a war with the domestic demon-banning sect at this time.

"But since you know that I won't agree, and you can guess why I don't agree, then why do you do this?" The old king looked at his son in confusion.

"Because I think differently from you, father." Prince Jiawen said: "You think now is not the time to deal with the Forbidden Demon Sect, but I think now is the best time to deal with the Forbidden Demon Sect."

Now the leader is the major concern of the nobles.

With powerful enemies outside, the royal family has no intention of fighting among themselves. Do the nobles of the Forbidden Demon Sect have the will to fight among themselves?

"Now is the time when their resistance is at its weakest. As long as we give suitable conditions, I think many of them will not resist to the end, but choose to compromise with the royal family as soon as possible."

In the eyes of the nobles, the leader of the wind is similar to the threat the void poses to mankind, a world-destroying disaster.

By joining the royal family as soon as possible, everyone can work together to fight against foreign enemies and retain their noble status in the future.

But if they resist to the end and end up losing to both sides, then when the leader comes, everyone will have to go to Zaun to use their sewing machines.

Therefore, with the strong threat of the leader, the Jarvan royal family provokes internal fighting at this moment, but it can more easily disintegrate the fighting spirit of the nobles of the Forbidden Demon Sect.

The old king thought about it carefully and felt that this statement seemed to make some sense.

"But..." He keenly

The premise for the establishment of the prince's theory is that the nobles are willing to put aside their past grudges and unite in the face of the "annihilation disaster".

But can nobles, or creatures like humans, really unite in the face of a world-ending disaster?

Is this overestimating them?

"Don't forget, child." The old king reminded with a dark face: "You are the first to break the unity now."

"You have already ignored the overall situation and provoked internal strife. How can you expect them to consider the overall situation and compromise with us?"

Prince Jiawen obviously couldn't be sure about this.

After all, this was originally an excuse he used to conceal his true purpose and persuade his father to support him.

"Father." So he simply said: "Now the horn of war has sounded, and we have no way to retreat."

"I hope that the plan to ban magic can be abolished this morning, which will eliminate a worry for you and seek justice for the mages. Father, please support me as much as you can!"

King Jarvan remained silent.

Indeed, it is too late to question the prince's purpose now and to refuse him.

Eldred and other demon-forbidden nobles will definitely regard today's events as his king's declaration of war against the demon-seeking corps.

Eldred didn't know what the king would do next.

And the king didn't know what actions Eldred would be inspired to take without knowing what the king would do.

So to be on the safe side, both the King and Eldred would definitely take some action.

And when each of them sees the other's next move, they will definitely take more drastic actions.

...

This kind of fatal mutual suspicion cannot be solved by two people sitting down for a glass of wine and talking about it.

If the chain of suspicion could be broken so easily, there would not be so many bloody tragedies in history in which kings and ministers killed each other.

"Father, please support me." Prince Jiawen nodded deeply and asked again.

"..." The old king was silent for a long time.

Finally, he looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar child and sighed helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you."

"Whatever you want to do, just do it."

"Thank you, father!" Prince Jiawen said gratefully.

Galen and Lux ​​also nodded excitedly and saluted the king.

‘Okay, you go down first. What to do next, just say hello to me. "The old king seemed a little tired.

He waved his hand and asked the three of them to leave.

"Yes, father." Jiawen had already acted as a "filial son" for a time and successfully coerced the old king to change his policy direction.

At this time, he did not continue to embarrass his father, but wisely left with the Galen brothers and sisters.

The old king stood up from his throne and walked the three children all the way to the palace gate.

When Jiawen and the others gradually moved away along the long stairs, so far away that only three small black dots were left, he still looked at the place with a melancholy expression.

"Your Majesty." His loyal guardian, Commander of the Forbidden Army, Xin Zhao, slowly came to his side.

"Xin Zhao." Suddenly, King Jiawen sighed: "Tell me, if I hadn't agreed to that child's request just now..."

"What would he do?"

"This..." Zhao Xin's face was shocked.

He didn't expect the old king to ask such a fatal question.

In the end, he could only answer: "No matter what, I will guard your Majesty's side."

"Haha." King Jiawen smiled and said no more.

"Your Majesty, you are worried..." Zhao Xin hesitated to speak.

"No, I'm not worried." King Jarvan said frankly: "I'm just a little concerned... This kid wasn't a political person in the past. It's not like he could do this kind of thing today."

"Then..." Zhao Xin asked carefully: "Do you need me to mobilize the royal capital's garrison into the city to strengthen the palace's defense?"

"No need." King Jiawen shook his head again: "Although I don't know why he changed like this, at least I am now convinced that he is acting according to his own will."

He confirmed that his son was not stupid.

The prince was not taken advantage of, he wanted to do something from the bottom of his heart.

King Jarvan couldn't quite explain what he wanted to do. Does he really just want to seek justice for the mage, or does he have some other purpose?

but...

"I only have this one child." The old king sighed deeply, turned around and walked into the palace: "Let him do what he wants to do."

.............................

Prince Jarvan was unaware of his father's emotions behind his back. He was still completely immersed in the joy of achieving a staged victory.

Before he could even leave the palace, he couldn't help but said to his good brothers beside him: "Galen, Lux, we succeeded."

"Yeah!" The brother and sister also nodded secretly.

By provoking an internal fight between the royal family and the Forbidden Demon Faction, and preventing Demacia from taking care of the Wind Leader, they had already achieved the greatest purpose of their trip.

The next step is to go with the flow and use the power of the Royal Family to defeat the Forbidden Demon Faction.

This group of anti-demon sects were so reactionary that they even refused to abide by the feudal righteousness of king and subject for the sake of their own privileges. It is even more impossible to expect them to accept the morality of the leader in the future. So it’s better to clean it up in advance.

And as long as the nobles of the Forbidden Demon Faction are completely liquidated, the main force in the court of Demacia's capital will be the Royal Faction.

So just right:

Prince Jiawen is the only heir to the royal family, and the Crownguard family is the backbone of the royal family.

Once there is no check and balance from the Forbidden Demon Sect, as long as the prince and the Crownguard family join forces, they can actually control Demacia.

"Now, we can move on to our next steps."

Garen and Lux ​​are still a little shy. After all, what they want to do is to poach the Jiawen family.

But Prince Jiawen is a bastard, and Tian is heartbroken. He believes that the leader will eventually win, so even if we don’t talk about ideals, when talking about interests, the sooner we invest in venture capital, the better.

He is not cheating, but saving the Light Shield family.

Therefore, Prince Jiawen actively led the discussion and discussed with the Galen brothers how to poach his own family:

"First of all, we still have to continue to stimulate the Demon Searcher Corps and not give them a chance to ease the situation."

"As for how to stimulate...just like what we did today, start with public opinion."

First of all, the deep-rooted discrimination against mages among the people of Demacia needs a public opinion war to slowly reverse it.

Secondly, the change in the direction of public opinion can be most direct.

"But a major event like a triumphal ceremony that attracts national attention does not happen every day. The propaganda methods we use today cannot be replicated in the future."

"What do you think we should do to promote it next?"

Prince Jiawen asked his good brother for advice.

"Ahem, I've already arranged this." Only then did Galen stand up with a shy face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"After today, there will be enough 'bards' appearing on the streets and taverns of major cities in Germany to tell the people the amazing story that happened at the Arc de Triomphe, and the mages who fought bravely in Ionia. legendary experience."

"This..." Prince Jiawen's eyes lit up.

But he looked over in surprise, as if he just knew that his good brother was capable in this area.

"Haha, this is just a routine method."

Anyway, we will all be comrades in the future, no longer monarchs and ministers, so there is no need to be cautious. So Galen simply stopped pretending.

"In fact." He analyzed: "This move still has many flaws."

"The capital at the king's feet is fine. Locally, the Demon Searcher Corps is too powerful."

"And the target of 'bards' is too obvious... If we rely entirely on these propagandists for anti-monstrance propaganda, then the Demon Searcher Corps can easily suppress civil opposition as long as they target them secretly. The noise of banning demons is rising.”

"Indeed." Prince Jiawen fell into deep thought.

Due to the total ban on magic, the spread of information in Demacia is extremely slow.

After all, the officials still have dragon and bird knights responsible for delivering important information;

Folks relied entirely on stagecoaches to deliver mail and bards to spread news.

Therefore, as long as the Demon Searcher Corps mobilizes their powerful grassroots forces and seizes the important communication node of the bard, they can easily control the public opinion.

"What should we do?" Jiawen asked again.

"Learn from Zu An's method." Galen was indeed prepared: "Since the bard's goal is too obvious, it is not convenient for information to be spread."

"Then we don't use people to spread, but use things - cultural works to spread ideas."

"In fact..."

He has already contacted the comics publishing house in Zaun and customized a batch of comic strips telling the story of the German Expeditionary Force.

As long as readers read these documentary comics and see how the Expeditionary Force soldiers and mages rely on each other and fight side by side in the comics, they can unknowingly change the stereotype of mages and form public opinion against the ban on magic. Sound.

"I will send the Dragon Bird Knights of the Crown Guard family and airdrop them to villages and towns all over Demacia."

"No matter how powerful those demon hunters are, can they still confiscate all the comic books hidden in ordinary people's homes?"

"What's more, this set of "German Expeditionary Force" comics is a legal reading material supported by the royal family. It is a work about the main theme of German heroes... They want to ban it on a large scale, but they can't come up with a suitable reason, right?"

Galen's words reassured Jiawen.

"However." Prince Jiawen still had some doubts: "If we rely solely on comics for promotion, isn't the threshold still too high?"

This is really not unfounded.

Although Demacia is a cultural power with greater humanistic achievements than Noxus, this culture is ultimately the culture of the court nobles and urban literati, not the culture of the vast majority of the people.

When philosophers in the capital began to think about the ultimate meaning of life, in the vast land of Demacia, more than 95% of the poor peasants and serfs of the total population were still illiterate.

For these illiterate farmers, the threshold for comics is already very high.

In order for the little book to become widely popular, at least it will have to wait until the era of universal primary education in rural areas.

"It doesn't matter." At this time, Lux came up with an idea: "If the comics are not enough, just use the radio."

"In sound programs, there is always no threshold for sound."

Lux felt that it was possible to airdrop radios to the Demacians, and then set up radio stations in Demacia to broadcast propaganda to the whole country.

"And a Walkman and a tape!"

"Seraphine's music album!"

As a loyal fan of Seraphine, Lux's suggestions began to have a personal touch.

Don't Demacians think mages are dangerous and evil?

Well, listen to Seraphine's toothless voice and look at that silly face on the poster - who would have the heart to accuse this mage lady of being dangerous?

This suggestion sounds good.

"But..." The corner of Galen's mouth twitched: "Lux, do you know how much radios and walkmans are worth in Demacia?"

"Uh..." Lacus was stunned for a moment, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The past two months of grassroots work experience made her immediately realize what a stupid suggestion she had just made.

Although radios and walkmans were worthless in Zaun, they were more expensive than gold in Demacia.

Spreading this thing all over the street is equivalent to throwing gold hex coins in front of a bunch of poor and crazy beggars.

"At that time, no one will be interested in listening to music, and people will just fight desperately for this treasure that can change their destiny..."

Thinking of the series of bloody conflicts that this might trigger, Lux stopped talking.

"Then let's use comics." Prince Jarvan concluded: "Although comics also have a certain threshold, this is the solution that is most suitable for Demacia's current national conditions."

"Yeah!" The three of them quickly reached a consensus.

"Also." Galen did not forget to remind: "Now we have taken action. I am afraid that the Demon Seeker Corps will also take action soon."

"Let's discuss the plan. I'm afraid we have to take the enemy's actions into consideration."

After hearing this, Jiawen and Lux ​​couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Indeed, the Demon Searcher Corps cannot sit still and watch the royal family encroach on their living space step by step.

So, what action will they take?

It's actually not hard to guess.

"Our goal is to abolish the ban on magic, so we need to convince public opinion that magic is not dangerous." Lux tried to analyze: "And the purpose of the Demon Seeker Corps is to maintain the ban on magic, so they need to let everyone continue to believe that magic Extremely dangerous."

"And to do this..."

After experiencing the last Silas assassination incident, Lux is no longer afraid to view the Demon Seeker Corps with the greatest malice:

"They are likely to artificially create magical terrorist incidents, thereby stimulating the whole people's fear of magic."

"And this is what President Levi doesn't want to see."

Yes, Levi had reminded Lux, the branch president, in advance that he must pay attention to winning this public opinion war.

Otherwise, if there is an extreme atmosphere of fear of magic among the people of Demacia, then the matter will not be as simple as just dealing with a few anti-magic sect nobles.

Because Li Wei knew that in that "future" without a leader, it was because of the great mage uprising set off by Silas that the people of Demacia had a mass panic against mages...

Only then would Fiddlesticks, the fear demon who had not been born for a long time, reappear in Demacia following the smell of fear.

This guy is the head of the original ten demons, a terrifying existence that is a whole level higher than Tam and Ramo.

Levi didn't know how powerful it was, he just hoped that if there was a god like this, it would pop out less often.

For example, Syndra. After the Noxians completely evacuated, her seal was secretly guarded by Levi.

Until Janna is truly invincible, Levi will never release a dangerous person like her.

The same goes for Fiddlesticks.

After all, in this world, you can’t kill monsters without exploding gold coins.

Since he has the power of "prophet", he should find a way to avoid this profitless crisis in advance.

"In short, we must not lose this public opinion battle."

"If the Demon Searcher Corps really uses this despicable method and tries to use magical terrorist attacks to create panic and sway public opinion, then we must stop them as soon as possible!"

Lux was expressing her determination like this.

Suddenly, a crisp neighing of a dragon bird came from the sky.

The three of them looked up following the sound and saw a dragon bird knight flying straight into the royal city in the open space in front of them.

"This..." Jiawen and others suddenly had a bad premonition.

They knew that this was a dragon-bird herald who was responsible for delivering urgent military information.

But the problem is, now that Noxus has fully retreated, there is no war in Demacia.

Where did this emergency military information come from?

Could it be that... what they were worried about has already happened?

"No way, so fast?" The three of them looked at each other.

With great concern, Prince Jiawen stepped forward to stop the messenger knight who flew over the dragon bird.

"Excuse me, what happened?"

"Your Highness the Prince!" The knight hurriedly saluted him: "Oh no, news came from the border - Renwall Fortress has fallen!"

"The Noxians are coming again?" The prince couldn't believe it.

"No, not Noxian—"

"It's a dragon, a dragon."
