LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Another week has passed.

The outskirts of Demacia's capital city.

Two familiar figures dressed as civilian rangers were flying towards the royal capital from the blue sky in the east.

"Jiawen, it's time for us to land." Galen reminded in a deep voice.

"Yes." Prince Jiawen nodded secretly.

He knew how much trouble it would cause if people saw them flying in the sky near the royal capital in Demacia, which strictly banned demons.

So the two tried their best to avoid the sight of passers-by, and carefully landed in the uninhabited wilderness on the outskirts of Xiongdu.

"Where's the face?" Galen touched the artificial mask on his face with some discomfort.

"Go back and change." Jiawen also had an unfamiliar face at this time, looking like an ordinary young man.

This kind of disguise mask is not high-tech. In Demacia, where magic is forbidden, intelligence officers can only use this kind of props to make up for their lack of disguise skills. So it is not difficult for them to change their faces.

And Galen and Jarvan changed their appearance and put on the costumes of civilian rangers. The reason is also very simple——

They traveled this time for a private visit incognito.

"Eldred is really awesome."

Recalling the experience of this trip, Prince Jiawen couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"This guy just used his connections to spread the news among the noble circles in the eastern border of the kingdom that 'the envoy from the capital is going to the eastern border to check the logistics and military affairs'..."

"So many towns, so many granaries, bank vaults, and military camps in the Eastern Territory were attacked by the 'magic dragon' without any warning."

"Oh, this 'magic dragon' really eats people without spitting out their bones -"

"The two dragons burned thousands of registered soldiers to death in less than half a month, and burned each one of them until they were 'completely reduced to ashes' and 'no bones were left'. Even after they died, there was no corpse left."

"You're riding a horse! Do you think we are fools?" When thinking about what he saw and heard during this private visit in private, Prince Jiawen inevitably became confused.

"This is all the kingdom's money! It is the blood and sweat of the people!"

"Ahem, calm down..." Galen tried to calm his brother's emotions.

This private visit incognito has obviously given Prince Jarvan a deeper understanding of the real situation in Demacia.

But he had thought the situation was bad enough before setting off, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

So facing this absurd and cruel reality, Prince Jiawen still can't accept it.

"Actually, this is normal." Galen was mentally prepared: "After all, you know, Noxus is to the east of us."

"The Eastern Territory has always been the front line of our war against the Empire in Demacia, and the kingdom's various resources have naturally been converging on the Eastern Territory. This battle has been fought intermittently for hundreds of years, so..."

So many resources and such a long time are enough to form a terrifyingly huge interest group.

Therefore, it is normal for this situation to occur in the Eastern Territory.

They don't really regard the royal family as a fool, but they are using the "magic dragon" to create some excuses to give everyone a suitable step down.

If you are sensible, don't check the account too carefully.

It's best not to check.

Otherwise, the Eastern Legion, as the absolute main force of the Kingdom of Demacia, which has been engaging in head-to-head exchanges with Noxus all year round, may not know what it will do if it is forced into a hurry.

"Although the Crownguard family has great prestige in the army, if it involves such an issue of core interests..." Galen helplessly spread his hands.

The name of your Jarvan royal family is not applicable there, how can you expect the Crownguard family to suppress those people from the East who have been in business for hundreds of years?

"..." Prince Jiawen was speechless.

"Will other places be better?" He rubbed his eyes and asked tiredly.

"Uh..." Galen looked a little embarrassed.

He said: "Well, Jiawen, actually...this kind of problem only occurs in the Eastern Territory."

"Because the Eastern Territory has always been the frontline of the kingdom's war preparedness, many towns are managed by officials directly appointed by the Eastern Territory Corps and the Central Government of Xiongdu. Therefore, there is a sufficiently complete bureaucratic and administrative system there, and this kind of problem occurs today."

"And other places in Demacia...ahem." Galen pointed at himself: "With us here, it's not the turn of those bureaucrats to make money."

The rest of Demacia was basically given to nobles like the Crownguard family.

These nobles, big and small, are the legal local emperors. Where is the ecological niche for corrupt officials and powerful local sages?

The money belongs to the noble master, so why should he be greedy?

Prince Jiawen: "......"

Tired, tired. Demacia is hundreds of years old, like an old man who has run out of fuel and is terminally ill.

If you casually uncover a wound on its body, the stench that hits your face can make people shed tears.

What's the point of being a king in a place like this?

"It's okay." Prince Jiawen couldn't help but deepen his belief as a leader.

This dilapidated house cannot be repaired. It's better to tear it down and start over.

"Yeah." Galen agreed.

"But..." He brought the topic back to the present: "What we should consider most now is not how to deal with the Eastern Legion. These people, just like the nobles of Demacia, will be swept away by the wind of change sooner or later. Clear it.”

"What we urgently need to face now is Eldred and his Demon Seeker Corps."

"President Levi told us that we must win this public opinion war and not let Demacia people have a mass panic about magic. However, as of now..."

In the battle of public opinion, they are completely at a disadvantage.

Facing the "Dragon Crisis" created by Eldred, the series of cultural propaganda methods that Jarvan, Galen and Lux ​​thought of could not gain any advantage at all.

After all, compared to the comic stories on paper, the people of Demacia are still more worried about the so-called dragon that may come to them at any time.

The "Magic Dragon" itself is just an introduction. The most important thing is:

"Our control over the grassroots is really far behind Eldred." Galen sighed helplessly.

Demacia is a feudal kingdom. The royal power can only extend to the city at most, and the world below is ruled by local nobles.

The influence of the Crownguard family can reach deep into villages and towns, but the scope is limited to Mithril City, their family's own fiefdom.

But the Demon Searcher Corps is different.

They are active at the grassroots level in Demacia every day, searching for mages all over the country.

Silas was just a peasant boy from a remote village, but after he revealed his talent as a demon-stricken person, his illiterate poor peasant parents were able to contact the Demon Seeker Corps immediately and arrest him and imprison him. ——

From this example, we can see how terrifying the Demon Seeker Corps' influence is at the grassroots level in Demacia.

"The big cities are okay. But some small towns, especially those controlled by the nobles of the Forbidden Demon Sect... the propagandists we send out are often detained by the Demon Searchers Corps as soon as they pass by."

"But the bards of the Demon Seeker Corps can go deep into every village and town in Demacia in the shortest possible time and spread their stories to people that exaggerate the atmosphere of terror."

If your voice cannot be heard by others, how can you fight a public opinion war?

"Yes..." Prince Jiawen sighed softly.

"Obviously, the truth told by the survivors of Renwall Fortress was that only one demon dragon attacked them. And the other demon dragon present at the time even risked his life to protect humans..."

But no one believes the truth.

After all, news of the dragon invasion is still coming one after another.

Those Demacians who hated magical creatures and were infected by panic simply did not believe that magic dragons could protect humans.

Coupled with the malicious propaganda of the Demon Seeker Corps: "Now all of Demacia believes that the demon dragon was summoned by the so-called 'extreme demon-contaminated group that colluded with the Noxus Empire'."

"As news of the dragon invasion continues to spread, this rumor continues to deepen and spread. But we are completely powerless to stop it..."

He could also see the difficulties of the moment. And he also figured out how to deal with the problem:

"We still have to find those two dragons as soon as possible!"

The lack of grassroots propaganda capabilities will not be made up for for a while.

But they can start from the "problem" of this series of events:

Since people were panicked by the news of the dragon invasion, the Demon Searcher Corps had the ground for spreading rumors.

As long as they can execute the dragon in public, it should be able to alleviate the panic of the Demacians to a certain extent and prevent this irrational tension from spreading endlessly.

"Slaying the dragon..." Galen said thoughtfully: "Indeed, as long as we can publicly kill the evil dragon and make it clear that we will not send envoys to check the accounts and appease the emotions of the Eastern Legion, then what will happen next? ..."

"This farce of the dragon invasion should come to an end."

The idea is right.

"But the problem is..." Galen frowned: "How are we going to find those two dragons?"

"This..." Jiawen was also speechless.

Demacia is so big, who knows where those two dragons are hiding?

Moreover, according to their investigations over the past few days, the reports of "Magic Dragon Burning Barns" and "Magic Dragon Slaying Camps" reported in various places in the eastern border of the Kingdom in the past two weeks are basically all false.

The real dragon only appeared in Renwall Fortress on the first day.

Since then, the two demonic dragons have not appeared for two weeks.

Whether they are still alive now or whether they are in Demacia is hard to say.

Where can they find it?

"Hey, Jiawen." Galen raised his thick eyebrows and big eyes and said, "Tell me, should we..."

"Why don't we just find two random dragons and drag them to the streets of Xiongdu to kill them?"

"Huh?" Jiawen was slightly stunned.

"What do you think -" He just listened to his good brother's analysis for him: "Aside from the few survivors of Renwall Fortress, who else knows what the two demonic dragons look like?"

"The Demon Searcher Corps can create a fake dragon invasion, and we can also have a fake dragon execution!"

"Anyway, the people just want to hear the news that the dragon was killed..."

"Whether the one who was killed was the demon dragon or the demon dragon's substitute, it doesn't seem to be that important, right?"

"Uh..." Prince Jiawen hesitated.

Cheating and deceiving the masses is somewhat in conflict with his moral values.

Also...is this a violation of the leader's discipline?

"Ahem, President Levi also said that leaders cannot have moral obsessiveness." Galen said with a shy face and a big Chinese character: "Sometimes, we leaders must also pay attention to methods in our work. It must be flexibly changed according to the actual situation.”

"This...seems right." Prince Jiawen was gradually abducted by his good brothers onto the pirate ship.

Indeed, panic is spreading and public opinion is fierce in Demacia.

It is a trivial matter for the Demon Searcher Corps to gain power for a while.

If, as President Levi warned, something dirty is brought to Demacia because of this large-scale mass panic...then things will be in trouble.

Finding two random dragons to kill them and calming down the storm as soon as possible may be an option that benefits the country and the people.

"But, this dragon isn't that easy to find, right?" Prince Jiawen asked again in concern.

Elemental dragons are originally extremely rare "special endangered protected animals" in today's Runeland.

Now all of Demacia knows that the dragon that attacked Renwall Fortress is very large.

If they randomly grabbed two "dwarf" dragons that were more than ten meters long and brought them up to make up for their losses, they would probably be self-defeating under the questioning of the Demon Searcher Corps.

"If this kind of thing is exposed, the credibility of the royal family will be completely lost." Prince Jiawen said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter." Galen said: "I heard that the Scientific Equipment Department is researching an 'alchemy technology dragon', which looks similar to an elemental dragon."

"Let's ask Zu'an to come over with support from both ends, as long as we can deceive the citizens of Xiongdu."

"Is this... really possible?" Prince Jiawen became even more worried after hearing this bold suggestion.

Galen spread his hands and said, "This is the best choice. Unless you can find two real elemental dragons."

Prince Jiawen was silent.

Indeed, he really couldn't think of a better way.

Helpless, he could only look up at the sky and sigh: "Yes."

"It would be great if two giant elemental dragons fell from the sky."

The words just fell:

"boom--"

There was a terrifying sound in the air, like a meteorite falling to the ground.

Jiawen and Galen followed the sound and saw a giant flame dragon, with its scales peeling off, its flesh torn, and dripping with blood, flying precariously from the east, and then...

There was a loud bang and it fell to the ground.

The giant dragon smashed a huge pit in front of them. Then its wings shrank, its head dropped, and it collapsed into the pit.

It was so weak and weak that even the light in its eyes seemed to be gone.

"??!" Jiawen and Galen were stunned for several seconds before they reacted.

Then, they looked at each other.

"Dead?" Galen reached out and touched the big knife at his waist.

In order to hide his identity, he did not carry his iconic sword with him during this "incognito private visit".

But an ordinary long knife in his hand is enough to cut off the dragon's head from a corpse.

So Galen picked up his sword, jumped out of the grass, and planned to accept the free dragon head.

"Wait." Jiawen's heart moved.

He tried his best to feel the airflow and the faint breath mixed in the roaring mountain wind: "It still has a breath."

"Maybe we can save it."
