LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 412 The Dutiful Son, the Old Father, and the War of Public Opinion (Two in One)

Soon after, Xiongdu Palace.

On the way back to the palace, King Jiawen could still maintain the benevolent demeanor of a loving father, filial piety, and harmony between the monarch and his ministers in front of people.

However, after returning to the palace, away from the sight of the outside world, the delicate and unspeakable atmosphere between him and the prince, Galen and Lux ​​immediately cooled down.

"You guys have to give me an explanation for what happened today." King Jarvan sat on the throne, looking gloomy at the three young men who were "punished to stand" in front of him.

"Uncle Jiawen~" Lacus pouted, trying to ease the atmosphere with her immature and lovely face.

"Call me Your Majesty!" The old king didn't agree with this at all.

"Lakshana, don't act stupid in front of me." The old king looked at the girl who suddenly felt strange to him with stern eyes.

Lacus is only 14 years old now, and she seems to be the little golden-haired girl in his memory.

But her name as the crown guard and what she did today have already made a king feel afraid: "You are now the general of Demacia. You should know what you did today!"

"Er" Lax was slightly taken aback, and a drop of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

Finally, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar child, he sighed helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you."

Due to the comprehensive ban on magic, the speed of information dissemination in Demacia is extremely slow.

"No need." King Jiawen shook his head again: "Although I don't know why he has such a change, at least I can confirm now that he is acting according to his own will."

Thinking of the series of bloody conflicts that might be triggered, Lux stopped talking.

In the end, he could only answer: "No matter what, I will stay by His Majesty's side."

Now the Demon Seeker Corps is too big to lose, and in turn threatens the royal power.

Although she knew that what she did today was just.

Indeed, it would be too late to question the prince's purpose now and refuse him.

Isn't the royal family reading "Janna" just to use it in reverse?Why are you still using it?

"When we fought in Ionia, there was magic in every breath we breathed. But magic did not bring destruction to Ionia. It was the greedy Noxus that brought destruction to Ionia. "

So, what will they do?

With great concern, Prince Jiawen stepped forward to stop the herald knight who flew down the dragon and bird.

"Father." Prince Jiawen asked, "If I tell you the plan in advance, will you agree?"

But the problem is that now that Noxus has fully retreated, Demacia has no more wars.

"Then" Xin Zhao asked cautiously: "Should I transfer the Royal Capital's garrison troops into the city to strengthen the defense of Miyagi?"

"Father!" Finally, Prince Jiawen stood up.

Provoking the internal strife between the royal family and the Demon Sect, so that Demacia has no time to take care of the leader, has already achieved the biggest purpose of their trip.

Before he had time to get out of Miyagi, he couldn't help but said to his good brothers beside him: "Galen, Lacus, we succeeded."

"First of all, we still have to continue to stimulate the Demon Seeker Corps, and we cannot give them a chance to ease the situation."

"What will he do?"

"You?" The king froze.

Second, the change in the direction of social public opinion can be most directly reported.

but.
"I only have this one child." The old king sighed deeply, turned and walked into the deep palace: "Whatever he wants to do, let him do it."

Galen's words reassured Jarvan.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess.

And when they see each other's next move, they will definitely take more drastic actions.

As a loyal fan of Seraphine, Lux's suggestions began to take on a bit of personal color.

But he looked over in surprise again, as if he just knew that his good brother still has this ability.

"Father, please support me." Prince Jiawen nodded deeply and asked again.

When he was suffering from the pressure of the war to form an alliance with the leader, how could he have imagined that the leader would develop into a world leader in less than half a year.

"Father." Prince Jiawen said solemnly: "Time has passed and the situation has changed. The case of banning magic may have benefited us in the past, but now"

After all, this was originally an excuse he used to cover up his real purpose and persuade his father to support him.

"Then let's use comics." Prince Jiawen concluded: "Although comics also have a certain threshold, this is already the most suitable solution for Demacia's current national conditions."

He stood in front of his brother Galen and his sister Lacus without hesitation, and said in a deep voice, "This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Pete and Mrs. Augsa, nor has it anything to do with the Crownguard family."

Lux was expressing her determination just like that.

Lux hesitated, unable to speak.

And as long as the nobles of the Anti-Magic faction are completely liquidated, only the royal faction will remain as the main force in the court of the Xiongdu of Demacia.

This gang of anti-magic sects are so reactionary that for their own privileges, they even refuse to abide by the feudal righteousness of monarchs and ministers.It is even more impossible to expect them to accept the morality of the leaders in the future.So it's better to clean it up in advance.

Once there is no check and balance from the Demon Sect, as long as the prince and the Crown Guards join forces, they will be able to control Demacia in fact.

Prince Jiawen didn't know his father's emotions behind his back, and he was still completely immersed in the joy of winning a staged victory.

"Don't forget, child." The old king reminded with a dark face: "Now you are the first to break the unity."

Prince Jiawen asked his good brother for advice.

"." The old king was silent for a long time.

This child is really hopeless.

"Sound program, there is always no threshold for sound."

The old king thought about it carefully, and felt that this statement seemed to be quite reasonable.

But if they resist to the end and end up hurting both sides, then when the leader comes, everyone will have to go to Zaun to step on the sewing machine.

This is not to say that the Pitts have no possibility of leading an army alone and intimidating the king.

"Thank you, Father!" Prince Jiawen said gratefully.

He has already contacted Zaun's comic publishing house and customized a batch of comic strips telling the story of the Debon Expeditionary Army.

Yes, Li Wei had reminded Lux, the president of the branch, that he must pay attention to winning this public opinion war.

It's over.A trip abroad turned this silly son into that kind of naive and radical idealist.

Therefore, as long as the Demon Seeker Corps mobilizes their powerful grassroots forces and seizes the important communication node of bards, they can easily control public opinion.

Indeed, if you think about it carefully, you will know: With the political savvy of Pete and Augatha, they could not have done what they did today.

Where did this emergency military situation come from?
Could it be that what they were worried about has already happened?

Galen and Lux ​​were still a little shy.After all, what they want to do is poach Jiawen's house.

Or this high-sounding reason.

"At that time, no one will be interested in listening to music, and people will only desperately strive for this treasure that can change their destiny"

Although Demacia is a cultural powerhouse with more humanistic achievements than Noxus, this kind of culture is ultimately the culture of court nobles and urban literati, not the culture of the majority of the people.

"I hope to abolish the demon banning plan this morning, to remove a worry in your heart, and to seek justice for the mages. Father, please support me as much as you can!"

Then exactly:

"But since you know that I won't agree, and you can guess why I don't agree, why do you do this?" The old king looked at his son in puzzlement.

And those Noxians too. The Imperials were beaten up in Balua, and after returning, they even started to play dead.

The same is true for Fiddlesticks.

The next step is to push the boat forward and use the power of the royal family to defeat the demon sect.

He didn't even know he was being used as a pawn, and he even took the initiative to stand up and help others.

"Haha." King Jarvan smiled and said nothing.

When philosophers in Xiongdu began to think about the ultimate meaning of life, in the vast land of Demacia, the poor peasants and serfs, who accounted for more than 95% of the total population, were still illiterate.

"Your Majesty, are you worried?" Xin Zhao hesitated.

"After today, there will be enough 'bards' in the streets and taverns of major cities in Debon to tell the people the amazing story that happened at the Arc de Triomphe this time, and the mages who fought bravely in Ionia legendary experience."

"However." Prince Jiawen still had some doubts: "Isn't the threshold too high if we only rely on cartoons for publicity?"

"En!" Prince Jiawen nodded solemnly.

I don't know what the commander of Swain thought.

Therefore, Prince Jiawen actively led the discussion, and discussed with the Galen brothers and sisters how to dig into the corner of their own house next:

It's really not that he's worrying.

At this time, he did not continue to embarrass his father, but wisely took the Galen brothers and sisters away.

The old king: "."

"Then we don't use people to spread, but use things——use cultural works to spread ideas."

Galen, on the other hand, had a simple and honest face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, pretending to be stupid and refused to answer.

In short
Given the current treacherous international situation, King Jarvan was no longer in the mood to play the game of "settling the inside before fighting against the outside world".

"Our goal is to abolish the forbidden magic, so we need to convince the public that magic is not dangerous." Lux tried to analyze: "The purpose of the magic seeker corps is to maintain the forbidden magic, so they need to convince everyone that magic is not dangerous." Extremely dangerous."

"No way, so fast?" The three looked at each other.

But can nobles, or creatures like human beings, really unite in the face of the catastrophe of annihilation?
Is this overestimating them?

"Yeah!" The three quickly reached a consensus.

"And walkmans and tapes!"

"You really planned this matter?" The old king looked at his child in disbelief.

"However, such a major event of national concern as the Triumph Ceremony does not happen every day. The propaganda methods we use today cannot be replicated in the future."

Anyway, they will all be comrades in the future, not monarchs and ministers, and there is no need to be cautious.So Galen simply stopped pretending.

"This..." Prince Jiawen's eyes lit up.

"This..." Jiawen and the others suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You have already provoked internal strife regardless of the overall situation, how can you expect them to compromise with us in consideration of the overall situation?"

With powerful enemies outside, the royal family has no intention of fighting internally, so do the nobles of the Forbidden Demon Sect have the fighting spirit to fight internally?
"Now is the time when their resistance is weakest. As long as we give the right conditions, I think many of them will not resist to the end, but choose to compromise with the royal family as soon as possible."

"Bastard! How can you do this!" The old king became even more angry.

The old king stood up from his throne and walked the three children all the way to the gate of the palace.

Prince Jarvan puffed out his chest and heroically took on the responsibility.

Of course he knew the truths his son said, but banning magic has nothing to do with right or wrong.

After all, fighting monsters in this world doesn't explode gold coins.

All three young people knew that His Majesty the King was really angry.

Until the three of Jiawen gradually walked away along the long staircase, so far that there were only three backs like three small black dots left, he still looked at the place with a melancholy expression.

In the eyes of the nobles, the leader is similar to the threat of the void to human beings, and it belongs to the disaster of destroying the world.

"For my comrades in arms." Prince Jiawen said, "They are heroes, so they should be treated like heroes."

Hearing this, Jiawen and Lacus couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Because Li Wei knows that in the "future" where there is no leader, it is because of the mage uprising caused by Silas that the people of Demacia have mass panic about mages.
Only then will Fiddlesticks, the demon of fear who has not been born for a long time, reappear in Demacia following the smell of fear.

"Then what should we do?" Jiawen asked again.

Being able to say these words, it seems that his stupid son's political level has indeed improved.

He waved his hand and asked the three of them to leave.

"And this is what President Li Wei doesn't want to see."

"Call Pete and Augsa!" The old king became more and more angry.

"The experience of going to sea this time made me understand that magic power itself is not evil. It is only human beings that are evil."

By joining the royal family as soon as possible, everyone can fight against foreign enemies together, and retain the position of nobility in the future.

"Think about it carefully, if Uncle Pete really planned this matter, how dare he not discuss it with you in advance?"

"But." He sharply
The premise of the theory of the prince is that the nobles are willing to abandon their previous suspicions and unite in the face of the "disaster of annihilation".

Now the leader is the big problem for the nobles.

"Today's matter is all my own idea!"

"It's okay." At this time, Lux suggested an idea: "If you don't have enough comics, just use the radio."

The old king's eyes were gloomy.

"Ahem, I've made arrangements for this." Galen stood up embarrassedly with a Chinese character face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"And to do this"

Readers only need to read these documentary comics and see how the expeditionary soldiers and mages rely on each other and fight side by side in the comics, then they can unknowingly change their stereotypes of mages and form public opinion against the forbidden magic noise.

If comic books are to become widely popular, at least they have to wait until the era of universal primary education in rural areas.

As the leader of the world's number one hegemony, if he doesn't raise the banner of rebellion, does he still expect Demacia to come out and take the lead?

"Tell me—" At this moment, King Jarvan pressed on, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"In fact." He analyzed: "This trick still has many flaws."

He didn't expect the old king to ask such a terrible question.

It was rare for King Jarvan to directly mention the names of the Pitts.He had never lost his composure when the Crownguards were engaged to Eldred in the past.

"The music album of Seraphine!"

So to be on the safe side, both the Kings and Eldred will definitely take some action.

"Fair, these two words are not simple at all, father." Prince Jiawen replied: "Although those mages came in through the Arc de Triomphe, they are still sinners in shackles."

"This..." Xin Zhao's face was startled.

Like Syndra, for example.After the Noxus fully evacuated, her seal was secretly guarded by Li Wei.

Officially, Dragon Bird Knight is responsible for delivering important information;
The folks rely entirely on stage horses to deliver mail, and bards to spread news.

Suddenly, there was a crisp neighing of dragons and birds in the sky.

"Also." Galen did not forget to remind: "Now we have made a move. I am afraid that the Demon Seeker Corps will also make moves soon."

"You've been thinking of repealing the Magic Act too, haven't you?"

Indeed, it is impossible for the Demon Seeker Corps to sit still and watch the Royal Faction eat away at their living space step by step.

Otherwise, if the extreme atmosphere of fear of magic is created among the people of Demacia, then the matter will not be as simple as just dealing with a few nobles of the Demon Sect.

"En!" The siblings also nodded secretly.

Don't Demacians think mages are dangerous and evil?
Well, listen to Seraphine's toothless voice, and look at that silly face on the poster—who would have the heart to accuse this lady mage of being dangerous?

"Indeed." Prince Jiawen fell into deep thought.

of course not.

"When we discuss the plan, I'm afraid we have to take the enemy's actions into consideration."

Things that are not conducive to unity, and conflicts that affect the united front of the anti-wind class, have to be put aside.

"The dignified Crown Guard family, the Shield of the Kingdom, is this how they protect your king now?"

If they did this kind of thing, they would definitely do it absolutely—just like what Swain did to Darkwill.

"Excuse me, what happened?"

"But you should at least inform me in advance! How dare you make up your own mind for such a big event like today?"

If things go on like this, in the future, if the Crown Guard family lets him give the throne to Galen or Lux, his stupid son will probably be obedient, right?

Eldred and other nobles of the Demon Seekers will definitely regard today's event as his king's declaration of war against the Demon Seeker Corps.

This guy is the head of the original ten demons, a terrifying existence higher than Tam and Lamer by an entire level.

So no matter what, King Jiawen didn't want to start a war with the domestic forbidden demon faction at this time.

"In short, we must not lose this public opinion war."

"Yes, father." Jiawen had already been a "dutiful son" for a while, successfully coercing the old king to change the policy direction.

Hairing this thing all over the street is equivalent to throwing gold hex coins in front of a group of poor and crazy beggars.

"Well" Lacus lowered her head in embarrassment and stopped talking.

The past two months of grassroots work experience made her immediately realize what a stupid suggestion she had just made.

King Jarvan also couldn't tell what he wanted to do.Did he really just want to seek justice for the mage, or did he have some other purpose.

"actually"

The result is that the anti-magic plan is still beneficial to the rule of the noble class, but it is already seriously detrimental to the rule of the Jarvan royal family.

"Amount..." The prince's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Okay! If you don't tell me, then I'll ask Pete and Augsa who are hiding behind you to tell—"

"What do you think we should do in the future?"

This suggestion sounds good.

"And the target of 'Bards' is too obvious. If we completely rely on these propagandists to carry out anti-magic propaganda, then as long as the Demon Seeker Corps secretly targets them, it will be easy to suppress the people's opposition to the forbidden magic. There's a lot of noise."

"Learn from Zaun." Galen was ready again: "Since the bard's goal is too obvious, it is not convenient for information to spread."

Prince Jarvan is the sole heir to the royal family, and the Crown Guards are the backbone of the royal faction.

He confirmed that his son is not stupid.

"Your Majesty." His loyal guardian, Zhao Xin, the commander of the imperial army, slowly came to his side.

"If the Demon Seeker Corps really uses this kind of low-handed means, trying to use magical terrorist attacks to create panic and coerce public opinion, then we have to stop them as soon as possible!"

"Now, we can move on to the next step."

"Father." So he said simply: "Now the horn of war has sounded, and we have no way out."

If the chain of suspicion could be broken so easily, there wouldn't be so many bloody tragedies of monarchs and ministers fighting each other in history.

Rather than expecting the king to forgive himself in the future after publicly intimidating and blackmailing the king as it is now.

"I read it."

Li Wei doesn't know how powerful it is, but he only hopes that one of these gods counts as one, and don't jump out if there are fewer jumps out.

"I will send the dragon and bird knights of the crown guard family and airdrop them to all the villages and towns in Demacia."

For these illiterate farmers, the threshold for comics is already very high.

"No matter how powerful those demon hunters are, they can also confiscate all the comic books hidden in ordinary people's homes?"

Putting aside disputes and fighting against the wind together, this is the top priority.

They knew that this was the dragon and bird herald who was specially responsible for conveying urgent military information.

Since he has the power of a "prophet", he should find a way to avoid this unprofitable crisis in advance.

Therefore, taking advantage of the strong threat of the leader, the Jarvan royal family provoked internal strife at this moment, but it could more easily disintegrate the fighting spirit of the nobles of the Forbidden Demon Sect.

He is not cheating, but saving the Guangshield family.

Having experienced the Silas assassination last time, Lux is no longer afraid to treat the Demon Seeker Corps with the greatest malice:
"They are likely to artificially create magical horrors, thereby arousing the fear of magic in the whole people."

"Because I'm different from what you think, Father." Prince Jiawen said, "You don't think now is the time to deal with the Forbidden Sect, but I think now is the best time to deal with the Forbidden Sect."

Before Janna was truly invincible, Li Wei would never release a dangerous element like her.

"To seek fairness for your comrades. It's as simple as that?" Now that Prince Jiawen doesn't look so stupid now, the old king has to suspect that this child has other political goals.

Lux felt that it was entirely possible to airdrop radios to Demacia people, and then set up radio stations in Demacia to broadcast to the whole country.

"Aren't they afraid of offending you and being retaliated by you in the future?"

"But what's their crime? Possessing magical powers?"

This kind of fatal mutual suspicion cannot be solved by two people sitting down for a glass of wine and talking.

"As for how to stimulate it, just like what we did today, start with public opinion."

"The Xiongdu under the king's feet is fine. Locally, the power of the Demon Seeker Corps is too strong."

Galen and Lux ​​also nodded excitedly, saluting the king.

Knowing this, what the royal family should do is not to talk about reason, right or wrong, but to prioritize maintaining their own rule.

They're just not that childish.

"Why?" asked the old king.

However, Prince Jiawen is a peddler who doesn't care about Tian Tian.He believes that the leader will eventually win, so even if you don't talk about ideals, the sooner you invest in the wind, the better.

"Yes!" Prince Jiawen nodded solemnly.

Radios and Walkmans, though worthless in Zaun, are worth more than gold in Demacia.

For one thing, the deep-rooted discrimination against mages among the people of Demacia requires a war of public opinion to slowly reverse it.

"But" Galen's mouth twitched, "Lax, do you know how much radios and walkmans are worth in Demacia?"

The three looked up following the sound, and found a dragon and bird knight flying straight into the royal city, in the open space in front of them.

But it did make her a little guilty for stabbing the uncle king who had been taking care of her siblings so violently in the back.

And the king didn't know what action Eldred would be stimulated to take without knowing what the king would do.

The enemy he is most worried about now is no longer the domestic anti-magic sect, but the leader association in Zaun.

"Read it, how can you still say such childish things?"

"Oh?" The old king was a little surprised.

"Whatever you want to do, just let it go."

"Haha, this is just a little conventional method."

King Jarvan was silent.

But his "stupid son", Prince Jiawen, was so calm that he didn't look like him at all: "Father, please calm down!"

There was a subtle silence.

The prince was not used by others, he wanted to do something from the bottom of his heart.

Regarding this, Prince Jiawen obviously couldn't guarantee it either.

The old king: "."

But Prince Jiawen
"Jiawen, I asked you to read more books by leaders, to learn how they view the world and understand politics. Didn't you read it?" the old king asked helplessly.

"No, I'm not worried." King Jarvan said frankly, "I'm just a little concerned. This kid was not a person who was keen on politics in the past. Today's kind of thing is not like what he used to do."

Eldred didn't know what the king would do next.

"Xin Zhao." All of a sudden, King Jarvan sighed, "Tell me, if I didn't agree to that child's request just now"

'Okay, let's go down first.Whatever you want to do next, just say hello to me. "The old king seemed a little tired.

"What's more, this set of "German Expeditionary Army" comics is still a legal reading with the support of the royal family. It is the main theme of works about German heroes. They want to ban it on a large scale, but they can't come up with a suitable reason?"

The leader has already made it clear in the article - the purpose of the banning magic case is not to ban magic, but a ruling method adopted by Demacia to divert internal conflicts when it is unable to expand externally.

"This..." The way the old king looked at his son suddenly became complicated.

"You" the old king was speechless.

"Your Royal Highness!" The knight hurriedly saluted him: "No, there is news from the border—Renwall Fortress has fallen!"

"The Noxians are calling again?" The prince couldn't believe it.

"No, not the Noxians—"

"It's a dragon, a magic dragon."
