Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Lux fulfilled Kalya's request and successfully revived Sefiqa with light-based elemental containment magic.

However, after regaining consciousness, Sefiqa still needs some time to adapt to his body and his new environment, so after briefly telling him what happened at the Oil Silk Oasis, taking into account his special talent, Lark Si incorporated him into the ranks of the Dharma Protectors and allowed him to temporarily live in Forsbarrow as a Dharma Protector.

When Sefiqa can fully control his power in the future, he will have to make up his own mind whether to stay or go.

As a reward, Lux received a fragment of Sephikar's ancestral monolith - this thing is still too dangerous for Sephikar. As the most powerful man-made element in the Shurima Empire, the monolith has very strong magical corrosive properties. , If a mage of Sefiqa's current level comes into contact with the monolith for a long time, he is likely to suffer from elemental corrosion symptoms again.

Anyway, now that he no longer needed to protect the oil silk oasis, Sefikar simply gave up the monolith and gave it to Lux as a reward for healing himself.

Previously, the elders of Yousi Oasis had handed over the monolith and Sephikar to Lux on behalf of Yousi Oasis. Now Sephikar has also given up the monolith. It is completely justified for Lacus to use the monolith now.

However, she doesn't know what the use of this thing is yet.

As the highest achievement of elemental magic in the Shurima Empire, monoliths have innate gravity and control over rock elements. Even a small fragment of monoliths, placed in the hands of an ordinary mage, is enough to cause a section of stone city wall to collapse. Let the ground crack.

It is no exaggeration to say that the monolith is a powerful weapon that is designed to change the terrain.

After feeling the special power of the monolith, a brand new idea appeared in Lux's mind.

"Can it be used to assist in the construction of canals?"

"Your idea is good, but unfortunately it is not realistic." Kalya poured cold water on Lux helplessly. "The properties of the monolith are very special. It can temporarily command the power of the rock to help fight, but it wants to Permanently changing the terrain is a half-effort thing. The terrain changed by the monolith's manipulation can be easily restored after leaving the monolith, unless it is reinforced by additional magic."

"Will this happen again?" Lux obviously did not expect that the monolith would have such wonderful properties, "But if I use it to destroy the city wall, the destroyed city wall will not recover by itself after the monolith is put away!"

"This is the crux of the matter. The monolith is a weapon of war." Kalya emphasized, "It can easily cause damage and turn order into disorder, but it cannot do the other way around. For you, this monolith is the most important. The important thing is to use it as an experimental material rather than making it into a production tool."

Understanding what Kalya meant, Lux was a little frustrated.

What Forsbarrow lacks now is not a war weapon, but many magic tools used to strengthen territory construction!

"Okay, don't be so sad. You have passed the midterm test. Now you can start studying the introduction to advanced elements!" Kalya tried to make Lux happy. "You will soon be swimming in the ocean of knowledge. Be happy. Lux!"

It’s okay not to say it.

Hearing Kalya say that she had to start learning that damn introduction to advanced elements again, Lux became even more frustrated.

……………………

When Lux was "wandering in the ocean of magical theoretical knowledge", a drastic change was taking place in the capital of Demacia.

Because of Jarvan III's previous lack of cooperation, the Noble Council issued an ultimatum, but after that Jarvan III continued to go his own way, dragging his feet until the end. In this case, the Demacian nobles and the royal family quickly became at odds with each other, and each fiefdom immediately Claiming to "encounter a disaster", and then not paying a single penny to Xiongdu.

The nobles originally had considerable autonomy in their fiefdoms. Now, with Jarvan III's "ignorance of current affairs", nobles from all over the country immediately took action - the current king is still the commander of the army, and he can still shout and use guns. At this time There is no point in fighting. If you don't pay taxes for two years and the royal family has no money to maintain the army, let's see if you can still sit on the throne!

However, just as the nobles began their first phase of non-cooperation, Jarvan IV returned.

After going through untold hardships, with the help of Soraka, Jarvan IV finally succeeded in climbing to the top of the Titan and returned bathed in the sky. Fortunately, he was not taken away by the Titan, but retained almost all of himself. It perfectly fulfilled everything Jarvan III expected.

And as Jarvan IV returned from the summit, Jarvan III, the old king who had been pretending to be confused for almost half a year, finally showed off his skills again.

The nobles won't cooperate?

Okay, even if you don’t cooperate!

After confirming that Jarvan IV had successfully reached the summit and had not lost himself, he released Kyle with a backhand.

Facing Kyle, Jarvan III expressed his attitude very clearly: The Lightshield family is willing to embrace the glory of the gods, but they will not prostrate themselves on the ground and become servants of the gods. Look, Jarvan IV has passed Mount Targon. After the test, we are qualified for equal dialogue!

Although Kyle was bitter about the previous sneak attack (carried out by Morgana and Taric), facing Jarvan IV who had returned from the summit, the upright Judgment Angel finally admitted Jarvan III's words.

Yes, you are qualified to negotiate with me as an equal.

With this recognition, Jarvan III quickly took control of the situation. On the one hand, he expressed his respect and emphasized that the previous sneak attack was a last resort. On the other hand, he hoped that Kyle could serve as the Winged Sister for the Lightshield family. Dominance endorsement.

This seemed to be quite nonsense, but Kyle agreed, because in her opinion, Jarvan III did represent "a secular ruler with a heart for heaven", and when she came to Demacia, the most important test was , is to cooperate with these secular rulers and explore another way to influence the secular world.

As a result, Jarvan III received "the approval of the Winged Sisters·Part 1".

Then, the old king found Morgana, and once again began to express emotion and reason. This time, unlike when he faced Kyle, he emphasized the mortal attributes of Jarvan IV. In his words Here, Jarvan IV is not a Titan reserve, but a person who has passed the Titan test and is the one who should lead Demacia.

There is actually nothing wrong with this argument, because Jarvan IV is not controlled by the Celestial Spirits, and his consciousness is very clear. Although he has embraced the power of the heavens and has embarked on the long step to ascend to the gods, his thoughts are still that of a mortal. thoughts, so in Morgana's eyes, Jarvan IV rules Demacia, which is also "mortals control the fate of mortals."

Morgana took the initiative and even teamed up with Taric to ambush her sister because she insisted that mortals should control their own destiny and should not accept the gods' plans. After Kyle left Demacia, she spent many years Walking in the world, I also have a clear understanding of human nature - human nature can be noble or despicable. Now Jarvan IV has proven his courage and perseverance, and Jarvan III has also shown his wisdom as a ruler. .

Under this circumstance, Morgana is naturally happy to see the Lightshield family "ruling Demacia with courage and wisdom" in the future.

After Morgana nodded, Jarvan III received "the approval of the Winged Sisters·Part 2".

After everyone gathered together, Jarvan III quickly contacted the Illuminati, which had been suppressed by the nobles into a fringe organization, and directly launched a Jedi counterattack.

The prince returned from climbing the mountain and proved his courage and wisdom.

The Winged Sisters appear and endorse the rule of the Light Shield family.

This is simply a grand event that has never happened in a thousand years!

Sentu II, who caused a stir by his stupidity, was forced to apologize by his old father, and then reluctantly handed over Sentu's sword. As a result, Jarvan III got the original "holy relic" again.

Under such legal principles, the ultimatums given by the noble council before have become ridiculous. Even if they see His Majesty the King cooperating with the Illuminati in a big way, the nobles can at best only non-violently non-cooperate and secretly make trouble behind the scenes. , no one dared to stand up and take the lead.

What the heck, the man on the throne is not an old fool at all, but a cunning old fox. He endured the pressure from the noble council and pretended to be stupid. When his son returned from the summit, he is now even qualified. Kicked away the noble council!

Damn it! Damn it!

The members of the noble council who gathered together again were a little numb. With the cooperation of the Illuminati, Jarvan III had begun to extend his hands to the fiefdoms of other nobles - he did not openly undermine the ruling rights of the nobles, but continued The Winged Sisters, through the Illuminati, went directly to the lower levels to promote the greatness of the royal family among the common people.

There is no doubt that the local lords cannot resist this kind of thing.

Shortly afterwards, Jarvan III rejected the local lord's request to "stop paying taxes because of the disaster" with "reasonable grounds".

In the past, this kind of behavior was outright crossing the line.

But now, Jarvan III is also crossing the line, but the noble council has lost the means to counterattack - with the endorsement of the Winged Sisters and the Sentu sword in hand, the Lightshield family is simply destined to do so.

The most important thing is that in the past, as king, Jarvan III was afraid of the Illuminati, but now that he has the divine power, the Illuminati is a vicious dog under his command!

With the cooperation of the Illuminati, Jarvan III can easily bypass the lords everywhere and do whatever he wants. Even if his behavior crosses the line, the lords everywhere have no good way to deal with him!

It is no exaggeration to say that Jarvan III, who has destiny in his hands, has completely torn apart Demacia's centuries-old feudal tradition of royal families and nobles co-ruling the world, and unabashedly showed his ambition to control everything.

Although he is old and cannot survive for a few years, Jarvan IV is studying behind him at this time. Considering Jarvan IV's success in reaching the peak, I am afraid that his lifespan will be far longer than that of ordinary people. In the future, the German nobles My life may no longer be as happy and happy as it is today!

In the past, the nobles of Demacia were the emperors in their fiefdoms. They could annex land and make local laws at will. As long as they fulfilled their noble obligations, they could do whatever they wanted.

But now, if their behavior does not meet the expectations of Jarvan III, the king will use the resources of the Illuminati to bypass the fief lords - he has not deprived the nobles of their rights in the fief, but unlike before, he now has Eligibility stripped.

Under such a situation, the noble council was still meeting, but the gathered nobles could no longer come up with a good idea. They tried to stay united, but soon there were small nobles whose territories were almost completely ignored by the Illuminati. The land surrendered and transformed into a royal loyal dog at the speed of light.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before the nobles in the noble council are defeated one by one.

At this time of panic, no one noticed that two young aristocratic couples from the Gotin family in the countryside of Renwall entered the chaotic capital and became spectators of the noble council.

At the meeting of the Noble Council, these two "country bumpkins" were trembling with fear, as if they were also affected by the bad atmosphere, and they did not dare to express their anger.

But after the meeting ended and they returned to the courtyard they rented, in the dead of night, they finally laughed secretly.

"Demacia, it's really interesting." In the darkness, Mrs. Golding did not show any submissiveness as during the day. Instead, her laughter was full of joy, "I saw the soil where roses grow!"

"Is it true?" Mr. Godin's tone was extremely smooth, "But you also heard that His Majesty the King really found two angels, and their prince also climbed the Mount Titan."

"But that doesn't mean they can control the situation." Mrs. Godin continued with a smile, "We have all seen the fall of those powerful people. If being powerful can control everything, then it is impossible for us to sit here and have a conversation now - you Should die on the test bench, and I should be piled deep in the fortress.”

"I like your words, dear." Mr. Godin poured himself a glass of wine in the darkness. "Yes, those who think they are powerful will always stumble on the little people, just like the dark descendants, just like the dark descendants. It's the undead, like some idiot who has mastered the power of demons, like an old fool who thinks he has become a god... But are you sure this can arouse Swain's interest?"

"Of course." Mrs. Godin said firmly, "He would even sacrifice his soul for his motherland and the great Noxus. If one day he knows that Demacia is in civil strife and only needs to transfer troops, We can unite Valoran with a single strike. I think that rational strategist commander, even if he grits his teeth, will suppress the throbbing deep in his heart and choose to cooperate with his mortal enemy to put aside the past grudges."

"It sounds like he is still a very principled person." Mr. Godin said with a smile, "I can't wait to get back my lost memories from him... It's so interesting, my dear, I just can't I enjoy this feeling of guiding everything even more.”

"me too."

Kalya’s Little Classroom·The Illuminati’s Tentacles:

Even if it has been strictly guarded, the Illuminati still has a lot of influence at the grassroots level-every family has weddings and funerals. Unlike the aristocratic master who only sends tax collectors to collect taxes, the Illuminati is considered by the common people. There is a positive side.

But in the past, due to the restrictions on royal power, the Illuminati had grassroots power but could not make use of it - they had no name.

And now, after Jarvan IV returned from the summit, Jarvan III, who believed that he had the ability to fully control the Illuminati, finally began to use this power.

PS. Happy New Year!

In addition, everyone should know the identities of the Gotins, right?
