LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 146 Change, Mages Standing in the Sunlight

"What do you think about what happened in Xiongdu recently?"

In an inconspicuous small stone house in Xiongdu, there is a fruit sale sign outside. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary fruit shop that can be found everywhere in Xiongdu, but in fact, this place is the largest private mage group in Demacia.

There are a total of twenty mages in this group. Compared with the existing number of mages in Xiongdu, this number is of course very small. However, due to the existence of forbidden magic, there is no mage group in Xiongdu that moves among mages in secret, let alone in the open.

Because of the powerful restriction of the Forbidden Magic Order, mages dare not talk to each other. Even though they are both victims of the Forbidden Magic Order, they dare not open their hearts to each other and are on guard against each other.

Because they are afraid that the other party will give them away under interrogation after being caught.

Therefore, 80% of this private team of mages are children.

The leader of the mage group is the owner of the fruit shop, a woman in her thirties. The deputy leader is also a woman. The two of them jointly lead the mage group, searching for and helping mage children in Xiongdu and the surrounding areas of Demacia.

Most of these children were abandoned by their parents because of magic, or they were afraid and left home to wander after their abilities were awakened.

The oldest was only fifteen years old and the youngest was only six years old.

And now, Kram, the leader of the Mage Corps, a flaxen-haired, tall woman nearly 1.9 meters tall with well-developed muscles, spoke at the meeting.

“I personally think this is an opportunity for us to walk openly on the streets of Xiongdu.”

"A chance?" Deputy leader Marla looked worried, and then said, "Could this be a conspiracy? Although the story of Grand Mage Laxana is true, she is a mage of the Crown Guard family after all. We are exposed, and the situation we face is different from hers."

"Yes, what the deputy captain said is what I want to say. Captain, the Magic Ban has two different attitudes towards noble mages and civilian mages. I think it is very dangerous to change my long-standing ideas and take risks to trust the current king and nobles."

Kram placed her hands on the table. Her arm muscles were very strong. To be honest, judging from her appearance alone, no one would believe that she was a magician.

She looks more like a warrior than any other soldier. She is 1.9 meters tall, with well-developed muscles all over her body. She gives people a sense of security just by standing there. How can people believe that such a person is a magician?
But unlike her appearance, Klum is actually a very gentle, caring and timid woman.

Seeing that several adults in the team opposed her idea, Kram hesitated. But when she thought of the children who had been hiding in the basement of the fruit shop, unable to go out to play day or night, and unable to grow up like normal children, she mustered up her courage.

Kram explained, "But Duoduo and the others need a normal environment to grow up in. I also know that this is a very dangerous thing. But now, Laxana, Black Lion Rowan, and Sona of the Buwell family are all mages, and they are all very powerful mages."

"Black Lion Rowan has come all the way from being a commoner. I really want to give it a try. Children need social interaction. When we take them in, we should not only give them food and water, but also bring them hope for survival."

"If they continue like this, what's the difference between their lives and those of wild animals? Being kept in a small hut of less than 100 square meters is not a way for human beings to survive," Kram said seriously.

Marla sighed after hearing this. She looked at Kram and said, "Captain, if this is really a conspiracy, it's okay if I get caught, but if the children get caught, that would be really bad."

"I've had enough of this shitty life. If it weren't for the kids, I would have wanted to fight against the country a long time ago. The worst case scenario is hanging, and the best case is exile to a small island. But being driven out of Demacia may not be a bad thing."

"But the children? If this is really a conspiracy, then the living environment they will be living in is not even 100 square meters, but in a cage of a few square meters."

Kram bit his lip after hearing this.

But at this moment, the patrol car horn suddenly sounded outside the window.

"The War College is recruiting students. Those aged 6 to 16 can enroll for free by passing the exam. Demacia and the Twin Cities are cooperating. Black Lion Rowan is the principal. It has the best teaching staff and enrollment is free. Those who are interested please sign up before the end of the month!"

"The War College is recruiting students. Those aged 6 to 16 can enroll for free by passing the exam. Demacia and the Twin Cities are cooperating. Black Lion Rowan is the principal. It has the best teaching staff and enrollment is free. Those who are interested please sign up before the end of the month!"

The patrol car outside repeated it three times, and then the sound moved away from Kram's fruit shop.

The ones left behind were a few adults in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

"College, is the enrollment the same as before?"

Marla blinked, then she walked out the door and saw the newspaper on the floor.

After picking it up, he saw a black-haired man occupying half of the page. Kram recognized him. It was Rowan, Rowan from Demacia.

A hero of the Battle of Uwendale, and a key figure in defeating the Freljordians.

He is the principal?!
Marla took the newspaper back into the house, carefully closed the door, and then several adults began to study it.

"Magic learning magic?!"

"The academy is going to teach magic?!"

"real or fake?"

When several adults saw the name of the branch on the back of the newspaper, their eyes widened.

"This"

"Marla, why not give it a try? I feel like things are really going to change in Xiongdu."

"First, the number of demon hunters decreased. Then, the awakened wizards on the street were sent home the next day after being captured. I think the king is really changing the ban on magic. This school is the biggest proof. The word 'magic' is now openly published in the newspaper." Kram said excitedly after reading it.

A man on the other side also spoke up: "I think we should give it a try. For the sake of the children, we have to take the risk."

"Let me go ask."

Marla showed a helpless smile, she put down the newspaper, sighed and said: "Since that's what I said, do I still have the right to refuse?"

"Go ahead, Mulang. I'll go with you. If this is a trap and you're caught, I'll use magic on the spot. Kram, keep an eye on me. Once I use magic, it means this is a conspiracy."

"I understand." Kram nodded in response.

----

The next morning, Mulang, Marla, and Kram from the Mage Corps went to the street and found the registration office according to the instructions in the newspaper.

It was not a registration office with one or two tables and a few guards, but a luxurious house with a sign on it - War College Admissions Office.

Accompanied by Makar, Mu Lang took a deep breath and walked into the Admissions Office.

A few beautiful maids came towards us. They were not very old and exuded a capable temperament.

Marla instantly became alert because these women were obviously soldiers!

"Excuse me, are you here at the Admissions Office to register your children?"

"I, I'm here to learn about the War College." Mura said.

The maid smiled stiffly and said with awkward enthusiasm, "Please come this way. The Education Department of the War College is over here."

Mura and Makar followed him into a room. After entering, they saw a woman who was dressed richly, had exquisite makeup on her face, and wore various accessories.

"I am Lestara Bouvier, and I welcome you to the Education Department of the War College."

The woman stood up and stretched out her hand to Mulang and Makar.

A noble.
After shaking hands, the woman sat back in her seat. She was accompanied by a young guard with a ponytail. She was not very old, only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but the way she stood straight and the aura she exuded showed that she was a powerful guard.

"Don't worry about her. She is my family knight and also a mentor at the Knight Academy of the War College."

Lestara noticed the looks in the two men's eyes and spoke gently.

Then she asked, "What college do your children want to join?"

"Magic Academy." Mu Lang took a deep breath and said.

"Magic?!" Lestara's eyes widened.

Mara tensed up instantly, her hands clenched underneath, a short staff glowing faintly from her sleeves, she was ready to cast a spell.

Because the other party's emotions changed drastically after hearing the word magic!

But then, Marla silently let go of her hand.

Because the other person's mood has become positive, it is a sunny and positive mood.

"Great! I've met almost two hundred parents today, and finally I met one who came to the School of Magic!"

"Excuse me, what kind of magic does your child know? No, no, no, I shouldn't ask that. As long as he knows magic, he has passed the assessment. What is your child's name? How old is he this year? He has passed the review, and he can officially come to school when school starts."

"But you can decide whether to enroll him as a day student or as a boarding student. If he is too young, I recommend that he be a day student. You can pick him up and drop him off at school. Although the academy is located in the suburbs, the Hextech train is already in operation, so it is very convenient."

"If the child is older, you must arrange for him to live in the school dormitory. This will help him develop his self-reliance and build good relationships with the students at the school."

Lestara said a lot in one breath, and the joy on her face could not be concealed at all.

Of course it can’t be hidden!
She is the strongest supporter of the Illuminator Cult, and she is naturally close to mages. Her daughter Kashina is a mage, her second daughter Sona is also a mage, her family knight is a mage, and her family knight's girlfriend is also a mage!
The Bouvier family is a pure magician family!

And now, seeing that there are civilian children willing to trust the country and let their children join the magic academy, how can she not be excited?

What does this mean?
This means that the king’s reforms against forbidden magic have finally paid off!
The common people finally realized that knowing magic was no longer a crime!
This is the best change!

Looking at the excited Lestara, Marla couldn't help but ask, "If it's not a child, what if we are going to enter the magic academy?"

"You? I'm sorry, you are over the admission age. The college only accepts students between 6 and 16 years old, and the oldest is 18 to 22 years old. They are not students, but graduate students and teacher assistants. Your age..."

"We know magic, too," Marla said loudly.

"Then, follow me." Lestra showed an expression of "as expected".

The children of a wizard are likely to be wizards as well.

This is genetic inheritance.

Variants like Lux are exceptions. There are always a lot of exceptions in this world, aren't there?
Soon, Lestara took the two to another room.

There is a magic wand pattern on the room. After entering, the room is very spacious and particularly large. In the room, a blonde girl is drinking juice out of boredom. Why do we say that she is drinking juice out of boredom?
Because she was drinking and spitting out the liquid through a straw at the same time, drinking and spitting, watching the little bubbles gurgling in the bottle. This was a disgusting and boring thing, and of course only a boring person could do it.

When she saw someone coming in, she stood up immediately.

"Welcome to the Magician Academy!"

She exclaimed happily.

"I'm Laxana Crownguard, the dean of the School of Magic. You can call me Dean Lux, and you are the dean. Wait, Aunt Lestara, these two people are almost as old as you, why did you bring them here?" Lux's happy expression changed, and she looked at Lestara with a little depression.

She had been here for the whole morning but had not been able to recruit a single student.

Other popular colleges, such as Knight, Hextech, and Technology, have already recruited dozens of people. Especially the dean of the science department, a Piltover native, he can't even close his mouth.

You should know that the first day is the busiest and has the most people.

But there was no one in the magic academy where Lux was!
In fact, Lux could understand it, because even though the king had changed the ban on magic and the nobles no longer dared to mention the ban on magic, the common people were still afraid.

It is normal for mages to be suspicious and worried.

But Lux was unhappy. After all, when school started, there would be hundreds of people in other colleges, but only a few in her college.

Doesn't this mean that Lux is worse than others? !

"You are really good at talking, Lux." After hearing what Lux said, Lestara felt itchy in his fists.

What do you mean?
Do you think I'm too old?
Lestara brought the people to Lux unhappily and said seriously: "These two are mages who want to enter the academy, but they are too old, so I brought them to see you."

"Didn't Rowan say that the dean has the authority to make special admissions? If they suit your taste, you can accept them as your students."

Lux blinked, looked at Marla and Mulang, then put her hands on her hips and said, "So, what magic do you know?"

"Let me introduce myself first. I can use light magic, elemental magic, defensive magic, auxiliary magic, and offensive magic." Lux stretched out her hand, and colorful light surrounded her hand.

Then, various elements appeared.

Marla and Mulang were both stunned.

Then, the two of them looked at each other and said to Lux.

"What I know is destructive magic." Marla stretched out her hand, and a terrifying aura appeared on her hand. A small black ball of light was filled with squeezed magic elements, which made Lux squint her eyes.

"Very powerful magic." Lux said sincerely.

This is really powerful magic.

Then, Lux looked at Mulang again.

"What about you?"

"Growth magic, I can speed up the growth of plants and crops." Mu Lang said hesitantly, then he reached out to a plant in Lux's room.

I saw the plants move and then grow rapidly.

"Wow!" Lux exclaimed.

"You, your magic is the most important magic that Rowan mentioned!" Lux said seriously.

She remembered that Rowan said that magic cannot be distinguished by the strength of the attack. Some magic has no attack function but its effects are immense.

Just like Mu Lang's magic, this magic can change the growth rate of crops!
If the Noxians had many such mages, would they still be poor and barren?

Of course not!
So, Lux said loudly: "You are accepted, you can be an assistant teacher at the magic academy!"

After saying that, Lux looked at Mara again, and after hesitating, she said, "Your magic is very powerful, but I don't think you are suitable for entering the academy. You should join the army."

"Besides, you are not young anymore. If you want to join the army, I will be your introducer."

Marla blinked.

"Regular Army?" she asked.

Lux nodded and replied, "Regular troops, with badges."

"." Marla looked hesitant.

Beside her, Lestara looked at Lux with amusement.

Although he is young, he has indeed become the dean of the magic academy.

That's quite a responsible person, Lux.

"Let's go, we need to get out of here."

Sensing Marla's magic, Krum returned to the fruit shop, opened the small rooms one by one, and brought all the children out.

She and another adult anxiously led the children.

Kram felt like crying. She didn't expect this was really a conspiracy.

Not long after entering, Mara released her magic. Why?

Why can't Demacia give mages a place to stay? !

Why does Demacia keep persecuting mages?
We, we clearly did nothing!
Klum endured the pain and pretended to be strong in front of his children.

Soon, she and another adult gathered the children and prepared to take them out of the house one by one.

But as soon as he walked out of the house and into the sun, Kram saw Marla and Mulang returning.

Both of them changed into new clothes, a brand new robe with the word "Mage" printed on the back.

Kram: ???

"Hey, Captain, what are you doing bringing the children out?" Mulang asked when he saw Kram and the children.

Next to Mulang, Marla seemed to suddenly understand something. She let out an "ah" and then trotted to Kram's side with an apologetic look on her face.

"Sorry, sorry, I used magic not because it was a conspiracy, but because the dean was testing us."

"Kram, this is true. The magic academy is true, and the country's attitude towards wizards has changed. Look, this robe was given to me by Dean Lux. She said it is what all wizards in the War Academy will wear."

“It’s used to distinguish students.”

Kram stared at Marla blankly.

Marla smiled:
"From now on, we can all stand under the sun."

In the sky, the sunlight is dazzling but warm.
