Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Tarik asked Soraka some things about Laxana, but did not get a definite answer. Instead, Tarik's own fate was clearly seen by Soraka.

However, sometimes, no answer is also an answer - so when leaving Soraka's cabin, Tarik had a thoughtful look on his face.

Then, before Taric could figure it out that Soraka was not the answer, his thinking was interrupted.

Because when His Highness the Prince set off again and started climbing, his speed was visibly faster. Not only was he no longer afraid of the cold wind, but his tolerance for heavenly energy was also greatly improved.

Wasn't he possessed by a giant god?

And that's not even the most exaggerated.

What's even more exaggerated is that just when Taric started talking to Jarvan IV, trying to judge whether his will still belonged to him, Taric's own body also experienced amazing changes - the same thing he had with Lux before. During the battle, he lost one of his arms and a leg, and now, an indescribable itching is appearing in his wounds!

Tariq, who has experienced many battles, knows exactly what this itching means. It is not a wound infection, but a wound healing!

Just like that, under the astonished gaze of Jarvan IV, he took the initiative to remove the prosthetic limb, and then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a baby growing in the mother's body, the incomplete limb grew!

As he moved his newborn arms, legs and feet, an indescribable feeling made Tarik even feel a little dazed.

As a former Guardian Spirit, even if he lost his limbs, Tarik's flexibility was not greatly affected. Apart from the stiffness of the prosthetic limbs, there were no bad things like infection that happened to him.

But the difference between having all four limbs and only half of the body is still difficult to describe in words.

After reluctantly suppressing his thoughts and having a conversation with Jarvan IV to confirm that there was nothing wrong with him, Tarik finally felt a wave of turmoil in his heart.

A cup of tea allowed Jarvan IV to get used to the light of day and allow him to regenerate his severed limbs... Who is that Lady Soraka?

Thinking of this, Tarik turned back and looked in the direction he came from.

But where is the stone hut in the sky?

Wherever he could see, there was only a howling cold wind and the remaining pieces of snow swept by the cold wind, flying above the abyss.

Taric and Jarvan IV looked at each other, and then invariably raised their heads to look at the heights of Mount Targon. This time, they only saw mountains that were too high to reach, and a sky so bright that it was almost impossible to open their eyes.

"Let's go." Tariq left his prosthetic limb in place and took the lead, "Keep moving forward."

"..."

Jarvan IV did not speak, just nodded, and then while recalling his father and his beloved Demacia, his emotions rose again, while following Taric, he walked toward the bright sky. OK.

……………………

Thanks to Soraka's support, Taric and Jarvan IV's climbing journey went much more smoothly. Unlike the giants who had strong goals, Soraka did not seem to have any selfish motives for giving up his celestial body. The plan was just to treat the two of them to a cup of tea and ask about Lux.

Of course, Kalya didn't know any of this.

After determining the whereabouts of Jarvan IV, he did not reveal the news in the form of rumors as before - unlike the previous rumors, if this news was leaked on a large scale, then Kalya himself It will also be very troublesome.

Since Shyvana wants to find out about Jarvan IV and spread some "ordinary" gossip, as long as it is clean from beginning to end, there won't be any holes left. After all, there is a lot of gossip in the capital about His Majesty the King's health. Even the news that "the prince died suddenly and the king suffered from mental and physical exhaustion" was not made up by Kalya firsthand.

But if Shyvana directly spreads the news that "Jarvan IV went to climb Mount Targon", then it is estimated that it won't be long before the Debon Controller comes directly to her door, because under normal circumstances, there will be no one at all. Link Jarvan IV to Targon!

Moreover, even if Shyvana ran away immediately, with Jarvan III's shrewdness, he would probably think of Lux immediately. There are only a few people who have climbed the mountain in Demacia!

Now Fosbairo is still developing with peace of mind. No matter what Kalya does, he cannot bring the fire to Fosbairo!

But Kalya couldn't just sit idly by.

The fact that Jarvan IV chose to climb Mount Targon was already a huge trouble - no one knew the power of the unity of Orthodoxy better than Kalya.

In the original Shurima Empire, after the rise of the Ascended Ones, the extent of the spread of Titan faith is still vivid in our minds. This cannot be controlled by human power.

Leaders have set an "example" with their actions, so how can their subjects really stay away?

There is no need to worry about the qualifications of an ascendant, as long as you devoutly embrace the giant gods, you may get eternal life... The temptation in this is exciting to think about!

Shortcut, absolute shortcut!

Now, Demacia seems to be facing similar troubles.

Kalya didn’t know whether Jarvan IV could succeed in climbing the mountain, or whether he would be himself after returning. He also didn’t know how much preparation Jarvan III had made for this. In fact, if it hadn’t been for a coincidence, he wouldn’t have even guessed that the disappearance of Jarvan III Jarvan IV actually ran to climb a mountain.

Under this situation, Kalya couldn't help but think of the Sun Titan he saw on Mount Targon.

It seems that after experiencing many failures, the giants have found some ways to "cooperate" with humans.

For these giant gods, Jarvan IV who has ascended the mountain may be a very good partner. He is the representative of royal power and the ruler of Demacia. The Illuminati of Demacia can also be regarded as the pan-system of the giant gods. Believers, under this situation, if the giant god is willing to put aside his status and cooperate with Jarvan IV, I am afraid that Demacia will soon usher in a drastic change.

Although Kalya dared to say that this drastic change would not affect the North in the short term, this time he did not dare to say that the speed of development in the North could match the speed of change in Xiongdu - if the Light Shield family and the Titans were allowed to If we reach cooperation and transform Demacia, then the situation in Demacia will probably become more delicate.

Facing the conservative nobles and the Illuminati who have extraordinary support, and the northern border with a weak development foundation, it may be difficult to leverage the situation by oneself.

Too bad.

Fortunately, everything has not officially started yet, and Kalya still has a chance to hold them back.

In the small world, Kalya sat in the long yellow sand, calculating in a low voice, and began to write and draw on the sand.

Since it was impossible to confirm when Jarvan IV left the capital and began to climb the mountain, time was now quite urgent for Kalya.

It's too late to stop it directly. All Kalya can do now is to disrupt the path.

In other words, Kalya needs to give Jarvan III some eye drops before Jarvan IV returns as king and takes control of the situation. It is best to completely muddy the political situation in Xiongdu in a short period of time, and wait until Jarvan IV When he returned, the royal family and nobles were already in a state of conflict. Even if Jarvan IV showed the amazing benefits of cooperating with the Titans after reaching the summit, the nobles would not cooperate with him, but would have ambitions to replace him. .

To achieve this, we must start from two aspects.

The first aspect is to create an obvious and irreconcilable conflict between the nobles and the royal family, so that the two sides immediately start to tear each other apart, and the fight becomes more and more fierce. Even after Jarvan IV returns from the summit, he cannot stop.

The second aspect is to make the nobles think that even if cooperation with the giant gods can bring powerful power and immortal life, they do not need to respect the royal family and can completely replace them.

Judging from the current situation in Demacia, no matter what it is, it is a fantasy.

First of all, Jarvan III, the old king, has good skills, and his grandfather and father are both wise kings. For three generations in a row, he not only ruled peacefully, but also implemented the principle of "uniting the nobles to clean up the Illuminati". Through strengthening the search The devil's method was to erode the Illuminati's past power and give it to the nobility.

In this case, although the nobility and the royal family have conflicts in many aspects (such as local taxation and talent selection), this conflict is neither the fundamental conflict in Demacia nor the biggest conflict in the political situation. It can be temporarily alleviated. of.

Judging from Jarvan III's current actions of pretending to be sick and mute, he is very sober. At most, he is stalling for time and has no intention of causing any conflict with the Noble Council. Therefore, although many nobles do not like some of Jarvan III's policies, But at this juncture, it was extremely difficult for Jarvan III and the nobles to fight each other.

As for the second point, getting the nobles to come up with ideas that can replace them seems difficult at first glance.

Hundreds of years have passed since Demacia was founded.

The surname of the king of Demacia has been Light Shield from the beginning - although for some reasons, the middle throne has been transferred between different lines of the Light Shield family, and there have even been several generations of puppet kings, but In any case, the king is a member of the Lightshield family, which is almost a brand of Demacian thinking.

Throughout the history of Demacia, even when the Noble Council was the most powerful, they could not completely overthrow the rule of the Lightshield family. At most, they could throw an underage king on the throne, and then everyone could substantively control it through the Noble Council. Take control of this country.

It seems that even Kalya doesn't think he can change this situation in a short time.

However, today is different from the past.

Why did the noble council not get involved in the throne in the past even if it controlled it?

Do they not want to?

Oh, it's true - when the royal family was at its weakest, the Guangdun family was almost no different from the Emperor Zhou. The royal family's direct fiefdoms were pitifully small, and the king was reduced to a rubber stamp. Although the noble families did not break up with each other, There is a civil war, but the situation in Xiongdu is also full of swords and shadows.

To the nobles at the time, the King of Demacia, that was really not interesting at all.

But it's different now.

How much mortals long for immortality, Karya knows this very well. Over the past thousands of years, he has witnessed countless intelligent people being confused by immortality, and even Karya himself was almost lost in immortality.

If the nobles knew that becoming the king of Demacia would greatly extend their lives and even bring immortality, would they refuse such an opportunity?

The answer is definitely no!

According to the current situation in Demacia, Jarvan III's advantage is that he firmly holds military power, the royal family owns a large area of ​​direct fiefdom, and the nobles are just younger brothers.

Moreover, the nobles probably had no idea what cooperation with the Titans would bring. By the time they knew it, Jarvan IV had returned as king and had completely taken control of the situation.

If there had been no Kalya, the nobles would have been left in doubt as they watched Jarvan IV return from the summit to embrace immortality and unite the Light Shield family with the orthodox religion.

But now, since Kalya has seen through Jarvan III's plan, there is naturally room for manipulation.

Soon, a vague plan gradually took shape in Kalya's mind, and Shyvana, who had been idle in the hotel for two days, finally got the next step of instructions.

The names of nobles one after another were listed, and then various marks were drawn on them. After a long time, Kalya let out a long breath, and finally lay down on the sand dune as if he had lost all his energy.

Then, as his thoughts moved slightly, a gust of wind blew, erasing all these words and symbols completely.

……………………

As the New Year approaches, the Arts Support Association is particularly busy.

In the New Year, when bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, a basic sense of ritual is always necessary. This is one of the busiest and most profitable times of the year for artists, almost the same as the Xiongdu Trade Fair.

So, when Shyvana came to the Art Support Association this time, the place was crowded with people. Even though her height was indeed amazing, no librarian took the initiative to come to her when she was walking around - the receptionist who had chatted with her before I was already very busy when I got up.

Following Kalya's request, Shyvana walked among the crowd, pricking up her ears to collect all the news about the noble ball and the New Year's speech.

According to the tradition of Demacia, on New Year's Day, His Majesty the King will give a New Year's Speech in the Grand Plaza. Although Jarvan III has been pretending to be ill for some time, he will still "strengthen his sick body" to deliver this New Year's Speech.

As for whether he was really trying to support his illness, or whether he was just pretending to be sick, that was up to Jarvan III himself.

The New Year's speech is the best opportunity to intensify the conflict between the noble council and the royal family.

The current noble council probably doesn’t know what Jarvan III is planning. They only know that Jarvan III is ill, and it is very possible that he is pretending to be ill. Peak direction considered.

Without being able to deliver the news directly, Kalya wanted to give the royal family some eye candy. The best way was to let the nobles "discover" the whereabouts of Jarvan IV on their own and make them realize that Jarvan III is now working with the Illuminati. cooperate.

During this process, Shyvana must stop when enough is enough and ensure that everyone's eyes do not fall on Fosbairo. Then Kalya can add fuel to the flames and fan the flames when the royal family and the noble council are fighting dogs!

As the former Shurima Empire's Imperial Dark and Kobold strategist, Kalya can be said to be quite familiar with this part of the story.

After all, uniting friendly forces and alienating enemies are two sides of the same coin!

Kalya's Little Class·The Power of the Noble Council:

Theoretically, the power of the Parliament of Nobles is greater than that of the royal family - however, since the royal family is also a member of the Parliament of Nobles, the royal family can also control the Parliament of Nobles by wooing loyal nobles.
