Lux's Farewell

When Lux finally introduced the topic of "the nobles themselves are guilty", everyone present finally came to their senses.

The fundamental purpose of this public trial...is not for trial at all!

She just wants to take this opportunity to completely realize her changes to Demacia, a complete change!

And this kind of complete change will obviously cause everyone to panic.

This is Demacia, a Demacia with fine traditions. Although some problems did occur in Demacia a while ago, this does not mean that this country needs a complete and complete change.

If Demacia abandons the justice, honor and nobility that it has been pursuing in the past, can it still be regarded as Demacia?
Some nobles have problems, but that does not mean that there is a problem with the status of nobles. Your Excellency Laxana, what are you going to do?
Grand Plaza fell silent.

Citizens who are not politically sensitive feel that Her Excellency Laxana is talking about something very new, but they do not understand this kind of thing.

Jarvan IV and a group of nobles who were in the trial seat looked at Lacus with disbelief, and even a hint of panic - not only worried about their own future, but also worried about Demacia.

Under such circumstances, Lux didn't continue to show off, but started a statement very calmly and in a tone that could almost be said to be taken for granted.

"When I was a child, I used to look forward to those great Demacian heroes. I listened to the legend of the Flying Wing Sisters and the stories of the ancestors who opened up the kingdom. A chance to read more books and learn more about history."

"Before I was 12 years old, I devoted all my energy to learning, learning to suppress dangerous magic, learning ancient history, and learning etiquette handed down from generation to generation. I am proud of all this, and I am eager to see Greater Demacia."

"However, the more I understand history, the more I know about the past, the more I wonder why we should abide by the creeds of yesterday?"

"My mother told me that this is a tradition, passed down from generation to generation in Demacia, and it is the strongest root system that supports this lush tree."

"She told me that we live in the city built by the ancestors, the common people cultivate the land reclaimed by the ancestors, and the nobles inherit the glory of the ancestors."

"And what we have to do is to add bricks and tiles to the city after inheriting it, open up more land, and leave it as a new tradition to future generations."

"Since then, I no longer have any doubts in my heart. Although I have seen some people give up their glory in Mithral City, I will not question the tradition because of this."

"So, I became a model of nobility in everyone's mouth."

"Later, in a duel, according to the traditional creed, I gave up the chance to fight the second time, chose the punishment of the stone crown, and left Demacia."

"After leaving Demacia, I have traveled to many places, learned about many other people's traditions, and even met many people trapped in traditions."

"That was the first time I started to think about whether it would be okay if everything was traditional, if everything had always been the same, would it be right?"

"After returning from the summit, although I have seen the most peaceful starry sky, I still have some doubts in my heart."

"The Demacians have added bricks and tiles to the city for generations, and opened up more farmland in the countryside. Is this to follow the tradition, or to live better for future generations?"

"With this doubt, I became the lord of Forsbarrow and saw for the first time the astounding tradition that people in Forsbarrow lived by picking."

"Picking, mining, hunting, this is the tradition of Fossbarrow, but the tradition of Fossbarrow is not enough to fill their stomachs."

"So, I decided to change the tradition at Forsbarrow."

"Twenty years ago, ten years ago, I don't think everyone present had heard of Fossbarrow. Even if they had, it was because it was one of the three towns in the north, and it belonged to Demacia. North portal, no one knows what's there."

"But now, or three years ago, or five years ago, anyone who didn't stay at home should have heard of Fossbarrow, heard of trade in the northern border, and heard a lot of new things. .”

"One might think that I have changed the Forsbarrow tradition of picking and hunting."

"But just as no one knows about the Forsbarrows of yesteryear, no one knows that what the Forsbarrows are growing now is what they were producing in the past."

"In the past the Fossbarrow people picked sage and hunted wild animals for furs; now Fossbarrow grows sage and buys furs."

"Did Fossbarrow really change tradition?"

"Maybe it's changed."

"But has Forsbarrow lost his roots?"

"That's true for Fossbarrow, isn't it the same for Demacia now?"

"I once read the diary of the ancestors. At that time, Demacia was still wild and barren. The ancestors would not rest in the same place for more than five days, otherwise they might be attacked by a large-scale beast horde, or be killed. Evil black mages are on their way."

"However, after the Charmstone was discovered and the first cities were founded, the tradition became not to leave the cities for more than two days' journey."

"And then, when Demacia was officially established, the safe place became a city and the roads connecting the city expanded to the farmland around the city."

"It's just that today, the traditions we adhere to are no longer the traditions when Demacia was first established."

"Tradition has always been developing and changing. No matter how old the tradition is, such as the nobility and the royal family, it is impossible to remain unchanged."

"And now, it's time for Demacia to make this change."

"..."

"..."

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

Starting with the public trial, Lacus gave a fifteen-hour-long speech in the form of a statement.

The content of the speech is very simple, and it is all words that everyone can understand, and the core of the whole speech is "the tradition of Demacia must be inherited and carried forward."

Carry on the past.

Demacia will always remember history and use it as a accumulation for moving forward.

But Demacia should not be trapped in traditions. When certain traditions are no longer suitable for Demacia and will hinder Demacia from moving forward, this tradition needs to be changed.

The fundamental purpose of all Demacian traditions should be based on the rights of all Demacians.

This is both a speech.

At the same time, it is also a call to arms, a policy program made public.

Different from the king's speeches in the past, Lacus put her eyes on every Demacian, no longer using abstract images, and explaining her purpose with glory that is difficult to implement, she wants to use words that the people can understand If so, describe what you want to do.

This is her second speech after coming to Xiongdu.

With the background of the previous skill competition, although the public could not fully understand what Lacus meant in this speech, they at least had doubts about it.

In other words, they are willing to give it a try as Lacus said.

Unlike the people who were talking in low voices, some had doubts, and some were eager to try, when Lacus raised his head again, Jarvan IV couldn't believe it, and the nobles were even more stunned.

In the speech just now, Lux integrated the royal family and the nobles. On the one hand, she affirmed the importance of the ancestors of Demacia to the birth of this country, and affirmed their struggle and hardships along the way.

But at the same time, she ruthlessly denied the current king and nobles.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lacus is at the height of history, as if overlooking the long river of time, fundamentally denying the significance of the existence of the royal family and nobles.

According to Lux, the royal family and nobles are representatives of inefficiency. The blood is not enough to screen out capable people, and a large number of people lacking ability and belief are responsible for maintaining the order of the country, which means that the country is in chaos.

Moreover, the royal family and nobility have no responsibilities commensurate with power.

The outstanding status of those Demacian ancestors is because they are the scouts who opened the way and the guardians who can protect the first generation of immigrants. Their special status is matched with their abilities and achievements.

If the ancestors are not worthy of their names, it means that a group of immigrants will be wiped out.

But in Demacia now, the only responsibility of the royal family and nobles is to maintain the glory, and it is impossible to clearly quantify the maintenance of glory, so the nobles will scramble to become moths. Greed - because the new nobles have little glory to inherit and carry forward.

Under such circumstances, it is time for the noble system of Demacia to be completely reformed.

Nobles whose power and responsibility do not match should be swept into the dustbin of history!

While Jarvan IV and the other nobles were stupefied, Lacus took advantage of the opportunity and proposed her long-planned plan to transform the nobles of Demacia.

The plan is mainly divided into three parts.

First of all, within the nobles, those who violated the requirements of the nobles must first accept the trial and punishment of the nobles themselves, which is also the easiest part to understand.

Then, the nobles who meet the noble requirements will now automatically lose their noble status and have most of their property confiscated as punishment for hindering the progress of Demacia-in fact, in other cities, Lux did this, However, there are not many local nobles with clean buttocks.

Finally, self-reliant re-education will be carried out among the nobles who have received the above two punishments, so that these representatives of the old order will become part of the new order, and their old noble status will become a trace of history.

For the transformed nobles, New Demacia will give them a new identity and status.

And the above three items are also the main principles of this public trial.

After explaining the three principles, Lux's eyes fell on Jarvan IV.

"Jarvan IV." This time, Lacus didn't have the previous polite smile on her face, but calmly took out a stack of records, picked up the pen, and pointed at the blank space on the first line, "Are you sure?" Are you willing to accept the transformation?"

"I am willing."

Contrary to Lax's expectations, Jarvan IV gave the answer immediately, even with a somewhat relieved expression on his face.

"So, what are you good at?" Lux ticked off, "Or, what do you think you are good at?"

"..."

On this point, Jarvan IV was a little hesitant.

He wanted to talk about martial arts, but after remembering the feeling of his body being controlled, he still swallowed it.

After a while, he finally shook his head slightly.

"Commander."

"The ability to command needs practice and assessment, and the organization of the Northland Walkers is different from other legions in Demacia." Lux recorded the word command in the place of the first reform volunteer, and then raised the pen again, "Except for this What? You still have two choices.”

"Perhaps, history?" Jarvan IV thought for a while, "And social dance?"

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

Jarvan IV's cooperation exceeded all nobles' expectations.

When Lux recorded his three wishes in detail, as if he were an ordinary clerk, the other nobles in the dock looked at Jarvan IV with a bit of "the ministers are about to fight to the death." , Why did His Majesty surrender first" unwillingly.

They couldn't understand at all why Jarvan IV, who was extremely stubborn when he was gathering the power of the nobles, would accept the transformation that Lacus said so obediently.

Are you really planning to give up completely, and you don't even have the thought of making a comeback?

Laxana is so unscrupulous, are you really willing?
Some people were dissatisfied with Jarvan IV's weakness, some regretted that Jarvan IV didn't give him the chance to vote for the title, and some people really felt sad for Jarvan IV's resignation. The eyes that fell on Jarvan IV at this moment can be described as sad. Hi cross each other, each is not the same.

However, only Jarvan IV knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to make a comeback.

Having watched countless public trials before, Jarvan IV thought it was an example to scare others.

But now, as Lux spoke frankly about her policy, Jarvan IV truly realized that it was a kind of self-confidence that is better than myself.

She has self-confidence and the ability to take control of the situation.

In this case, what's the point of continuing to be stubborn?

Moreover, after experiencing the mastery of the Twilight Protoss and the surrender ceremony, although Jarvan IV was not discouraged, he almost completely lost his obsession with power.

If you look away, you won't be able to look away.

But it doesn't make any sense to be rigid.

Then just take a step and see - he also wants to see if Laxana can do everything she said.

She did not intend to erase the glory of the Light Shield family. The one who failed was herself, Jarvan IV. Before her, everyone in the Light Shield family was still the previous kings of Demacia!
After all... Laxana is always better than those bastard nobles.

It's a bit of a dead end, and I've made myself a little dazed, so hurry up and get over this part of the thought!
