Lux's Farewell

421 [0417] Insects of the noble council

Before Pete returned to the Crownguard Manor, Lux ran all the way back to her bedroom.

Ino was already waiting for her here, and he was obviously relieved to see Lacus come back.

"How?" Ino said first, "The initial preparations for Silas have been completed, the statue of justice outside the city?"

"Galio's situation is much more complicated than I imagined." Lux could only briefly describe the fact that she started a new life for Galio, "Once there is movement in the Arcatraz, Galio will take action, but Because the magic power is not enough, I’m afraid it needs to be recharged—we are too conspicuous, so Sona should come by then.”

"But I'm afraid Sona's magic power alone is not enough." Ino thought, "From your description, Galio is simply a bottomless pit."

"It's enough to let it take off once." Lux took the saber from Ino's hand and put it on his waist, "Or prepare a magic circuit that absorbs the forbidden magic stone in the city wall - this can be done Are you there, Teacher Karya?"

"Impossible, the flow of magic power in the magic stone spreads from high to low." Carya directly denied this method, "letting Galio touch the magic stone on the city wall of Xiongdu is more likely to be the remaining magic stone in his body." The magic power is introduced into the city wall, and the magic power in the magic stone can be mobilized for use, but it is very difficult to transfer it to another magic stone."

"This is troublesome." Lux smacked her lips, "If you don't rely on Galio to solve the problem, it will be difficult to convince the noble council that magic is controllable..."

"Although the magic power inside the city wall is difficult to be mobilized by Galio, there are good things from the Silent Man!" Hearing what Lux said, Ino smiled, "Mr. Kalya and I found the world rune in the Silent Man Fragments, and are specially processed world rune fragments."

"World runes?!" Lacus' eyes widened in astonishment, "If I remember correctly, the Silent Man's residence is inside the Arcatraz?"

"That's right, deep underground." Ino nodded, "So, deep under our feet, there is a fragment of a world rune hidden."

"World runes are so dangerous, isn't the whole Demacian hero sitting on the powder keg?" Lux's expression became serious in an instant, "What is the silent man doing?"

"The Silencers are keeping this dangerous power." Ino replied, "According to them, the world rune once caused a lot of trouble for Demacia, so they carefully keep the world rune , can only mobilize a very limited amount of dissipated energy from the world runes—but even the dissipated energy has created a large number of enchanted magic stones in the hidden man's secret store."

"So, you mean you can use these forbidden magic stones to temporarily charge Galio?" Lux asked in a daze, "Wait, did they do this before?"

"That's right, one of the important tasks of these silent people is to provide Galio with pieces of the forbidden magic stone to activate his ability to move." Ino continued, "As long as Galio can move freely for a few minutes, he will be able to fight with him." In the confrontation of the enemy, absorb the magic power for your own use, until the battle is over and the magic power is exhausted."

"It would be great if the Silent Man could get out of the forbidden magic stone." Lux quickly understood the meaning of Ino's suggestion, "This represents the Silent Man's attitude!"

"That's right, Teacher Kalya said the same thing, and looking at Grandma Ling's attitude, she seems to think so too." Ino nodded, "While suppressing the Illuminati, we must also show the position of a silent person. They wait for the situation to be confirmed before sitting back and reaping the rewards!"

Just as the two little girls were sharing today's gains, there were soft footsteps in the corridor, and then a servant knocked on the door of the bedroom.

"Miss, madam invites you to have dinner in the small restaurant."

"Understood!" Lux responded, and at the same time tore off the cloak on her body, "Come right away."

With the help of Ino, after a while, the little princess-like Lacus came to the small restaurant gracefully.

"Come on, Lux." Augatha saw Lux in aristocratic uniform, and she liked it no matter what she saw. "Come sit beside Mom—eat first!"

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

In the small restaurant, Pete, Augsa, Tiana, and Lacus finished their meal in silence.

In fact, the Crownguard family often has no rules internally. Neither Pete nor Augsa is a person who abides by the rules. Never put on a "sir, please sit down" gesture.

However, at today's dinner, even though Augsa tried her best to enliven the atmosphere, the air around the table seemed to be so heavy that it was hard to breathe. It seemed that everyone was preoccupied.

Finally, as if there was a tacit understanding in their hearts, the four of them ended their meal at the same time.

Instead of calling the servants to clear the table, Augesa sighed helplessly, got up and closed the door of the small restaurant.

"Speak up if you have something to say, what is there to say to your family?" As if talking to herself, Augesa was the first to speak in the quiet restaurant, "Do you still have to carry it at home? "

As she spoke, Augesa looked at her husband and raised her eyebrows.

"Augtha... Sigh, this matter is more troublesome than I imagined." Aware of his wife's silent threat, Pete could only bite the bullet and look at his daughter, "Regarding your identity verification, the silence in the Illuminati People will help to confirm, tomorrow you need to get up early, after confirmation, I will take you to the noble council."

"This is what it should mean." Lux nodded without the slightest surprise on her face, "Why does father look a little pessimistic?"

"Those guys in the noble council are not easy to talk to." Pete said with gritted teeth, "I heard that you were back, and they were all scared to death, lest you, like Tarek, would deny your relatives and go directly to the Illuminati; After you and Tariq are different, they turned around and said something like 'Since they are all climbers, they should be treated equally' and so on... What a bunch of insects!"

Pete, who was born as a warrior, obviously couldn't see this kind of duplicitous behavior. In his opinion, these nobles were clearly thinking about themselves—when they found out that Tarek's return might give the Illuminati a chance, they all felt devastated and learned that Lak After Si Ye came back, her face was even more ashen; but when she realized that Lax was different from Tariq, she changed her style of painting and used the rules of nobility to control Lax and let her directly conflict with Tariq.

My good guy, I really don’t do anything, and I want to take advantage of everything. With this group of insects, how can I manage Demacia well?
However, as a great nobleman of Demacia, Pete has not yet been able to object to this kind of behavior - all his power comes from this order, even if he also finds the behavior of these nobles disgusting, he still cannot stand against it .

In this case, for the first time, he even used personal reasons and as a father, hoping to obtain a more secure condition for Lacus, so as not to let Lacus take the initiative to face Tariq's pressure.

Although Pete doesn't understand magic, Tariq, who doesn't recognize his relatives, is stronger than Lax after all. In addition, if there is light, he will open his eyes. If Lax really stands up to fight, then no matter what No matter what, I couldn't hold it anymore.

On the side of the Illuminati, although the bishops of various dioceses usually had many conflicts, after Tariq returned, they were clear about each of them. Even the cardinal of the Xiongdu diocese was the first to stand up and abdicate.

And when it comes to the noble council, these insects can't hold back Lax, that's simply thankful!

Why did today's imperial meeting drag on until now?

It was because the king, the Crown Guard family and the noble council could not reach a unified opinion on Lux's next identity.

Jarvan III and Pete are standing together. Since Lacus and Tarek are going to fight, then Lacus must have a matching status.

Of course, in terms of this matching position, Peter and Jarvan III have different opinions - Jarvan III thinks that Lacus can be granted a new title and fief; while Peter thinks that Lacus is still the crown guard. As a member of the family, it can expand the fiefdom of the Crownguard family, and give Lux a military or government office.

And if Peter is thinking about the family and the family, and Jarvan III wants to split the Crownguard family with a check and balance mentality, then the nobles on the noble council can say that they are playing "lip of mouth without cost". To the extreme.

Want equal status?

Well, I heard that the Illuminati want to regard Tariq as a saint, so let us recommend Lacus as a model of nobility. Anyway, Miss Laxana has always abided by noble etiquette, so we can give her titles, On the title, you can even start a "Learn from Miss Laxana" activity!
If that wasn't enough...

Recently, there are many artists in Xiongdu. Everyone can spend some money together to hire people to paint and make sculptures, so that Miss Laksanna's great achievements can be passed down to future generations!

This kind of "sincere" suggestion almost made Pete angry. If Tiana hadn't been there and reminded his brother to calm down at all times, Pete might really have turned the table on the spot in the noble council.

This is just so deceiving!
You are worried that the Illuminati will fight for power, and you need Lacus to stand up; if Lacus hasn't stepped up yet, you want to restrict Lacus?

But the aristocrats also have something to say, there are only so many fiefdoms in Demacia now, if you have one more piece, everyone will lose one piece, and whoever cuts the flesh will not hurt?
Besides, you Lux is a climber, we are not, right?
Even though today's imperial meeting was over, Pete was still so angry that he couldn't help but breathe heavily when he mentioned this matter after returning home.

By his side, Tiana remained calm all the time. After Pete briefly explained what happened, she asked Lacus in a very calm tone.

"As the person involved, Lacus, what do you think of this matter?"

　Carya's small classroom, Demacia's fief is tense:
　　Because military exploits can obtain fiefdoms, the fiefdoms in Demacia are very tense—at the beginning, the king could find reasons to clean up the nobles and vacate cages for birds, but later as the nobles formed groups in the noble council, the king was also very nervous. It is difficult to directly reduce the nobles' fiefs, and the result is that in the past hundred years, very few nobles have obtained fiefs.

　　Based on Tariq's previous performance in the "Shield of Demacia", if things happened 200 years ago, he would have obtained at least a fief of a reasonable scale, but now, he can at most get a fat job in Xiongdu.
