Lux's Farewell

550 [0544] Carya's two faces
The noble council is the theoretical highest authority in Demacia, and although the royal family has an unparalleled status, it is only a member of the noble council in the final analysis-a strong king can manipulate the council through nobles who are loyal to him, while a weak king can Will be reduced to the echo of the parliament, the contradiction between the power of the aristocracy and the power of the royal family has always been the main contradiction within the ruling class of Demacia.

When the conflict between the two sides was the most intense, Demacia even almost broke out in civil war.

Of course, everyone knows that due to the status of the soldiers as "reserve nobles", historically, there has never been a civil war in Demacia.

So between the royal family and the nobles, the most violent form of conflict that ever existed was when one of the parties issued an ultimatum.

This is a special state that seems serious, but just "looks" is not enough to describe its seriousness, which represents the serious distrust of the noble council for the king.

The last time the aristocratic council issued an ultimatum was during the reign of Jarvan III's great-grandfather Mupus V, and the main reason for the ultimatum was that the ambitious king wanted to cancel the private army of the nobles in order to strengthen Control the army and control the promotion channels within the nobles in their own hands.

This act of completely withdrawing personnel rights directly aroused the resistance of all the nobles. The noble council issued an ultimatum, either Mupus V gave up his foolish ideas and stopped challenging traditions, or everyone might raise their troops to Luoyang. It's a painful statement, and it's time to set up another master.

It was a turbulent and chaotic time, and although Mupus V's plan seemed to be beneficial to the military, in the end the military sided with the noble council.

The king finally succumbed because he lost the support of the army, and finally died at the age of 42-and the next king who succeeded him did not continue to use the title of Mupus VI, but changed his name to Jarvan I, in order to declare a complete reconciliation with the nobles.

Perhaps it was because the ultimatum of the noble council caused turmoil in the military, and the pressure from the military forced Mupus V to lose power. After Jarvan I came to power, he intensified his attack on the Illuminati and tried his best to win over the military. , he followed the example of the sages, and he must charge forward in every battle, trying to make himself look more like a general who can lead his soldiers to victory, rather than a king hiding in the castle of dawn.

Jarvan I's strategy worked well at the beginning, but just as he gradually gathered the morale of the army and began to look for opportunities to complete his father's unfinished business, the famous Battle of the Gate of Sorrow broke out.

In that battle, Jarvan I was killed at the hands of Sion, the hand of Noxus at the time, and the fortress in the southeast of Demacia across the mountain from Noxus Streville was officially renamed the Gate of Sorrow.

It was also the sacrifice of Jarvan I that allowed the royal family to gain the support of the military again. He was regarded as the "insider" of the army. During this period, the prosperity of Debon laid the foundation.

On the frontal battlefield, he was almost broken by Thain alone, but it still didn't prevent him from being respected.

It is no exaggeration to say that the sacrifice of one king and the hard work of two generations of kings can almost bridge the problems caused by the ultimatum issued by the noble council more than 70 years ago.

And now, because of some "acts that may lead to danger" of Jarvan III, the noble council once again issued its own ultimatum-or hold a general meeting of the nobles to find out the current situation and explain what is going on with the Illuminati ; or start a full-scale confrontation with the nobles.

No noble will be happy to see the next king of Demacia mixed with the Illuminati. The conflict between the noble council and the king is an internal contradiction among the nobles; , that Jarvan III is the eternal sinner of Demacia!

Those magic sticks do preserve a lot of Demacian traditions and history, but this does not mean that the nobles are willing to share some of the grassroots power in their hands,

No, not at all!

Jarvan III was cornered.

With a series of "wrong circumstances" coincidences, the development of things has completely exceeded his expected range.

At this time, it is meaningless to block both ends. As long as Jarvan III does not want to shut down the entire kingdom of Demacia, it is absolutely impossible for him to admit that he is considering cooperating with the Illuminati.

Before him, there were only two choices, and he could only walk on the dark unknown road: Either directly announce Jarvan IV's summit plan, and promise that everything will remain the same after he returns from the summit, completely abandon the Illuminati, and The nobles who count on the House of Lords are fools and will believe this outrageous promise; or simply admit that there is something wrong with Jarvan IV, but the crown guard of Needlebrook - at least Centur II - will Lost inheritance rights due to "collusion with the Illuminati".

Politics is the art of compromise. Even though Jarvan III is the king of Germany, he cannot be as consistent in Demacia as Lacus is in Fossbarrow.

Soon, a negotiation with high confidentiality standards and a large number of participants began.

What they talked about in this noble council and what conclusion they got, these Caryas have no idea at all, and they can't find out.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

For Kalya, at this point in the matter, no matter what Jarvan III chooses, the cracks have already been buried.

From now on, there will be only superficial harmony between the noble council and the royal family.

Considering that the relationship between the royal family and the Illuminati is not very good, His Majesty Jarvan III may be truly lonely now.

Even if Jarvan IV returns from the peak and obtains the status of a divine envoy, or even proves immortality, this cannot be changed.

Kalya knew very well that a lonely family would never be able to accomplish anything, and this had nothing to do with personal strength.

Even if Jarvan IV gained power comparable to that of the protoss, forced cattle to drink water, and forced the nobles of Xiongdu to "abandon their prejudices", he could not change the existing order of Demacia, because this order was not established by an individual It is not based on an extremely powerful foundation, but it is derived from the development, tradition and accumulation of hundreds of years since the founding of Demacia.

Powerful power can be said to be indistinguishable from one another, but it cannot prevent the positive from obeying the negative.

But as the royal family, Jarvan III and Jarvan IV are the last people who can't shake the table. Any flipping the table is a loss-so at the beginning, Jarvan III hoped to hide everything from the truth, and then notify the noble council after everything has become a fait accompli , resulting in the effect of a fait accompli.

It's a pity that the game is missing.

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

After confirming that the noble council held a special meeting, and the meeting on the first day was quite unpleasant, Carya finally let out a long breath, and then chose to leave without hesitation.

Like the worst child, he grinned and threw a firecracker at Xiongdu that could completely change the situation, making the atmosphere completely tense, but then turned around and left. In order to avoid being affected, he even gave up observing the incident. Opportunities for a new pattern in Xiongdu after the explosion.

To be honest, this kind of behavior of "accepting as soon as it is good" is somewhat perverted.

As the executor of the entire plan, Shyvana had no idea what Kalya was doing at first, and was just following orders.

It wasn't until she delivered the saber that Shyvana finally understood that Kalya was destroying the relationship between the royal family and the nobles.

After gradually recalling what she had done before and understanding what her previous actions meant to this country, Shivana felt a subtle sense of shame—in the eyes of Miss Dragon, who may not have reached puberty yet, The world is still black and white, and she is obviously not used to Kalya's face-changing.

Therefore, Miss Julong couldn't bear it, and wanted to talk to her teacher.

However, Shyvana had just spoken, but Kalya directly announced that what she had to do in Xiongdu was over, and she could set off for her return trip!

All the words Shyvana finally concocted were stuck in her throat.

So... leaving?
For a moment, Shyvana, who was still sympathetic to the nobles who were fooled around, even had the idea of ​​"I really want to see what happens next". After realizing this, Shyvana's entire dragon shocked.

Do you still have such a side?

Am I an evil dragon?

"Don't blame yourself too much, little Xixi." Facing the silent Shivana, Kalya's tone was as relaxed as ever, "Actually, you are right, if this method is possible, you should not rely on it— —Actually, if Jarvan III hadn't been bold enough to make a sudden gamble at this moment, I wouldn't have resorted to this method."

"..."

This kind of tone of "I am too heavy-handed is entirely because you have planned first" made Shyvana feel a little subtle. During this trip to Xiongdu, Kalya's performance was completely different from the Kalya in her past impressions. , in Shivana's cognition, her teacher is a witty and kind person, he is knowledgeable and broad-minded, and will not have any prejudice against a person or a dragon because of their origin.

And, as Carya once promised, Fossbarrow will walk the path of unity, and anyone who will abide by the order of Fossbarrow will embrace tomorrow here.

But it seems that in his eyes, the nobles, royal family, and Illuminati of Xiongdu are not worthy of having tomorrow.

"It's a science to distinguish who is a friend and who is an enemy." Seemingly aware of Shyvana's doubts, Kalya explained cheerfully, "About this part, it will be your return to Fu The main course after Spiro."

"You seem to be very proficient in these methods?" Shyvana asked curiously while flapping her wings, "Is it also because of Shurima?"

"Yes." Kalya had nothing to hide, "Sometimes, to achieve difficult goals, some special means are really needed."

"You look completely different than usual."

"A lot of people say I have two faces."

Although Shyvana is very curious about what Kalya's "two faces" are, Miss Dragon's biggest advantage over Lux is that she can easily control her curiosity—perhaps because of the long lifespan of dragons Because of the reason, she is always calm and unhurried, even if she is very curious, she will not be too eager.

In fact, Kalya's "two faces" are two different roles he played during the establishment and development of Shurima.

After Shurima, who was still a grassroots team, gained the trust of the tribe, Kalya was not only the teacher of the children, the early enlightener of civilization; but also a cunning and cruel dog-headed military advisor.

This directly led to the fact that in the folklore of Shurima, the image of the god of death borrowed from Kalya to a considerable extent...

Whether it is the Reaper's mask, Reaper's iconic slender figure, or the legend that "Reaper doesn't care about nagging last words" and "Reaper likes those whose funeral objects are more valuable", they all have something to do with Karya.

This cannot be regarded as black history, but it is indeed a past that Karya is unwilling to mention. In that era when everything was in ignorance, the rising Shurima needed to be more barbaric than barbaric. Ya naturally needs to "do as the Romans do" and use the pitiful conditions in his hands to help Setaka plan for the future.

However, this is not Kalya's original intention. Although he almost got lost in the conspiracy and became a mouse accustomed to hiding in ghosts and ghosts, in the end he managed to get out and had a new life in Shurima. After the basic disk, the main energy is put on the construction of the follow-up empire.

So far, the God of Death in Shurima has become a long-standing legend, and people have gradually become accustomed to the slightly eccentric, but highly respected Prince Regent and President of Shurima University.

The action of stirring up wind and rain in Xiongdu gave Kalya a rare look back at his past self. Now his goal has been successfully completed, and the enemy's head has been hung with DEBUFF, so next, he can finally put the All the energy was put back into the development of Fossbarrow.

Well, counting the time, Lux's winter speech this year is over, and even preparations for the spring speech are about to begin.

Although due to the transfer of manpower and the absence of Karya, the progress of the Archon's construction of the canal and the communication between the Melan River and the Yinlin River has directly slowed down, but the people of Fossbarrow should be very happy to listen to Team Lax Ribbon Tales of beating up the barbarians of the Freljord?
Sure enough, compared to the scheming Xiongdu, Fossbarrow's simple folk customs are more comfortable!
Moreover, there should be news coming back from Yinuo soon. If all goes well, next year, the new port outside Fossbarrow City will also start to build a professional wharf. By then Fossbarrow will be There is a huge manpower shortage again. Considering that the price of furs is dropping and the planting of saffron can also be piloted, when the wharf is first built, the manpower should be able to barely support it...

Kalya, who freed his brain from the conspiracy, was immersed in the development plan for Fossbarrow almost at once-so, before Shivana took him back to Fossbarrow, Kalya proposed In order to meet the requirement of stopping, we must first visit the construction site of the canal.

hope everything is fine!
　Karya's Little Classroom Demacia's Struggle:
　　Compared with Noxus next door, which often kills the whole family, the political struggle in Demacia is quite gentle and has aristocratic characteristics. This is not only a struggle for power, but also a game that only nobles are qualified to participate in. In other words, even in political struggles, Demacia has a higher bottom line most of the time.
