LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 43 Silas

"Why is the capital so lively these days? I heard that many noble children are running to the duel arena every day. Mette, have any nobles launched a glory challenge these days?"

On Throne Mountain, Jarvan III put down a document from the Mineral Town and looked up at his butler.

Mette, who was standing upright with a handkerchief on his arm, immediately replied, "No nobles have launched a glory challenge recently. The reason why Xiongdu is so lively is that people are discussing one thing, about Fiona from the Laurent family and the knight Rowan sponsored by the Bouvier family."

Before Jarvan III could ask further, Mette continued, "This is the most exciting thing in the capital recently. People are curious whether Miss Swordswoman will continue to win, or whether Black Lion Rowan will break Miss Swordswoman's undefeated record and become the new owner of the Demacia Arena."

"Rowan?" Jarvan III's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. He said, "According to Halgod and Lestara's letters, the Rowan I know is not a man who pursues glory. He can even be considered a lazy person. Why would he go to the dueling arena? And with his strength, there is no point in going to the dueling arena, right?"

"."Met was silent.

After a while, he bent down and said, "It may be related to something that happened nine days ago."

"explain."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Nine days ago, Sona, the adopted daughter of the Buwell family, went to the duel arena accompanied by Rowan. After the second duel at noon, a wizard appeared in the audience, causing commotion. The demon hunters quickly arrived at the scene and captured the wizard who caused the commotion."

"I know about this, but what does it have to do with Rowan?" Jarvan III frowned.

Regarding this matter, Jarvan III couldn't sleep that night because when he saw the documents presented by the soldiers, he fell silent after reading them.

The nine-year-old did not cause any casualties, but was still handcuffed and shackled and sent to prison for investigation.

The first thought that Jarvan III had after reading the story was that even if this child successfully drank the anti-magic water and came out without magic, would he still be as passionate about Demacia as before?

"He had a conflict with the demon hunters," Mette said. "When the demon hunters were arresting the wizard, Rowan stepped forward to stop them. Actually, he didn't really stop them. He just asked the demon hunter captain not to handcuff the wizard, but his request was rejected. Then, he stepped back."

"." Jarvan III tapped the table with his fingers, his expression calm. After a while, he said, "Matt, which faction do you think Rowan leans towards?"

"." Mette lowered her head.

"Just say what I told you to say. What are you worried about?" Seeing Mette lowering his head and keeping silent, Jarvan III was so angry that he laughed. He knew that Mette had a good impression of that boy. The reason was simple. Mette was also a commoner who climbed up to his current position step by step. He had an innate liking for commoners, especially polite and capable boys.

"I won't use Demacia's future as a pawn. I'm not that stupid." Jarvan III said to Mette.

"I think Rowan is inclined towards mages. It's not hard to tell from what he said the other day, Your Majesty. He feels the same as you do. He also thinks there is something wrong with Demacia's current system," Mette replied.

"Yes. There is something wrong with Demacia's current system." Jarvan III's eyes became melancholy. After he stood up, he suddenly said, "Barrett came to me before, hoping that I could give him a peerless sword. I didn't refuse, but I didn't agree either. I was going to drag that guy away. Who told him not to come to me for a drink after returning to Xiongdu? I only have a few friends, but he is still avoiding me." Jarvan III smiled and continued, "Mette, arrange for someone to go to the secret storage in the palace and take out the Dragonstone Sword."

"Your Majesty?" Mette looked up.

The Dragonstone Sword was the marshal's weapon of Demacia three hundred years ago. Tiana of the Crownguard family had been coveting that sword for a long time. To say that the sword was very precious was not the case.

As Demacia's national strength grew, it became more and more powerful, and the craftsmanship and forging technology of its craftsmen also improved. Therefore, the weapons made now are more useful than before.

Therefore, the weapons Tiana now possesses can be ranked among the best in the entire Demacia, but the Dragonstone Sword is different. It was the weapon of Marshal Green, who once shone brightly on the battlefield of Demacia and had unparalleled fame. That sword is a symbol of status and inheritance.

Just like the Hammer of Oren, the weapon was given new meaning.

And now, Jarvan III
Mette continued, "Your Majesty, he is still young, and with his achievements."

"You think too much. I gave the weapon to him because of Barrett. Tiana is loyal to me, but the Crown Guard may not be, especially now that more and more demon hunters are crossing the level. This is my reminder to them that this country is not the world of demon hunters, and mages are also my people." Jarvan III said coldly to Mette.

Mette also realized that he had crossed the line. He was the spokesperson for the king's orders, and he could not have his own ideas. So, Mette bowed his head and said, "Mette, I apologize."

"No, wait a little longer. When he defeats Fiona, give the weapon to Mrs. Bouvier, and she will pass it to him." Jarvan III touched his chin. The old man who was complaining grinned, as if he had thought of something interesting.

Mei Te nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Hey, lady, are you going the wrong way? This is not the place for you."

In the passage leading to the damp dungeon, Lux saw two soldiers holding oil lamps.

Frowning, Lux raised her neck and said, "I am Laxana Crownguard. Are you going to stop me?"

"Laxana Crownguard?!!"

"Sorry, sorry, sir, please wait, we will ask the captain to come over immediately."

The two soldiers showed panic expressions on their faces, and then one of them continued to apologize to Lux, while the other ran out.

A moment later, a little old man with a beard appeared in front of Lux. He wiped the sweat from his temples and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, what are you doing here?" "I need to investigate something." Lux took out the emblem of the Crown Guard family and said to him.

"This"

"What's this? Do you want my aunt Tiana Crownguard to ask you?" Lux said immediately.

When they arrived in Xiongdu, the first thing Garen taught Lux was how to use the reputation of the Crown Guard family.

Lux learned very well and mastered it very well.

She was not targeting these soldiers, because as a child of the Crown Guard family, she had the right to enter the dungeon, even the most ferocious dungeon, because her aunt was the Grand Marshal of the Empire and her uncle was the leader of the Demon Hunters. She could go to some forbidden areas in Demacia without the king's permission, and the dungeon was one of them.

Moreover, she was now a member of the Order of the Illuminators, and by the act of blessing, she also had the right to enter the dungeon.

This is the right of the Crown Guard, the strongest family in Demacia.

"No, no, no, I mean, this place is not suitable for a beautiful noble lady like you to visit. In here..." The captain guarding the dungeon was sweating, but he did not dare to stop him. Instead, he stepped aside and said, "This place will disgust you."

"I don't care." Lux said, walking past him.

She promised Luo Wen that she would help Luo Wen check on the child.

And it wasn't just to help Rowan. Lux herself also wanted to see how a civilian mage would be treated after being caught.

A moment later, with the help of the dungeon captain, Lux met the boy Rowan mentioned.

Lux breathed a sigh of relief to see him.

Although the environment was damp and dirty, at least there was a small bed and a quilt in the prison. However, Lux could see that the quilt was moldy and had spots on it, which made Lux frown.

"You guys step back, I want to be alone." Lux said to the captain behind her.

The dungeon captain nodded, wiped his sweat, and said, "If you need anything, just tell me."

With that, he left, leaving Lux alone in the dungeon.

Lux looked at this dungeon that belonged exclusively to the "heretics", and then she walked forward.

"Hey, little guy, are you okay?" Lux stretched out his hands, grabbed the iron bars, bent down and said inside.

Then, Lux saw the little boy move, but he just moved and didn't answer Lux.

"I'm Lux. Do you remember that when you were caught, there was a man who spoke for you? I'm his friend. He wants to apologize to you for not being able to help you." Lux said again.

"Help me?" the little boy spoke. He turned around, revealing a pair of numb eyes, and said, "I am guilty. I don't need help."

"You are guilty? Who told you that?"

"That's what the adults say, and so does my father," he replied, and then he turned around and stopped looking at Lux.

"." Lux looked at him with complicated eyes.

"It's useless, he has been brainwashed." Just at this moment, a voice sounded from the prison next to Lux.

Lux turned her head and walked over, and saw a man sitting in the corner, his hands shackled and tied in place, with a muscular and dirty body.

"Who are you?" Lux asked curiously.

He raised his head, revealing a handsome face. He looked quite old, with greasy hair falling down his cheeks in clumps, but it could not hide his bright eyes.

"Silas."

He then said, “It’s nice to meet you.”
