LOL: In order to survive, I tricked Lissandra at the beginning

Led by the chief guard, Lux and Aidil strolled through the passage of the fortress.

"Can you take me to see the imprisoned mages? I heard from the book that they are all very dangerous, and I have always been curious about this." Lux asked the chief guard.

Ever since Aidil taught Lux a lot about magic and mages, Lux has always wanted to see what other mages look like.

Are they dangerous, evil, and violent terrorists as described in the book?

After hearing the other party's request, the chief guard hesitated for a while and said, "Yes, but you can't get too close. Many of those mages are out of control and have certain dangers."

"No problem."

Lux smiled and readily agreed to the other party.

Led by the chief guard, the three changed direction and began to move towards the bottom of the fortress.

Soon, after passing through a stone door, they came to an environment similar to an underground prison.

It was dark, damp, and the air was filled with a sour smell.

On both sides of the passage were iron cells, and in the shadows one could see unkempt figures with dishevelled hair and dirty faces.

The faces of these people were full of sickly paleness and oldness, and their bodies were as thin as skin and bones, which was worse than the slums outside Xiongdu.

It was hard to imagine that in Demacia, where there was sunshine, peace, justice, and even no slaves, there were still such a group of people enduring the torture of darkness.

"Are they all mages?"

Lux asked in a deep voice, her watery eyes trembling, and the reluctance in her eyes seemed to turn into tears.

"Yes, they are all mages." The chief guard nodded.

"Why treat them like this? What did they do wrong?" Lux asked in a questioning voice.

The guard chief scratched his head in confusion, but replied as a matter of course: "Because they are mages! Leaving them outside will only bring danger and panic."

"But they have clearly committed no crime. Isn't it too unfair to treat them like this?!" Lux retorted.

"Miss Crown Guard, your idea is very dangerous."

The guard chief suddenly became serious, completely without the flattering look before.

"But..."

Lux wanted to say something else, but a hand was already pressed on her shoulder, interrupting her.

She turned her head and saw Aidil standing behind her, shaking his head at her.

Seeing this, Lux stopped talking, just biting her lips and continued to look into the depths of the prison.

Along the way, she saw many mages.

But as expected, they were all locked in dim cages, with no light in their eyes, like zombies.

Their breathing was as rough as the sound of a bellows, and their skin was covered with rashes and pustules.

Their desperate expressions were deeply imprinted in Lux's mind.

Lux could even feel the helplessness and despair in their eyes.

She was silent all the way until she reached the end of the passage, where she found a secret door.

"What's behind that door?" Lux asked.

The chief guard replied, "That's the next level of the prison, where all the mages are imprisoned, which is much more dangerous than this level."

Lux's curiosity was aroused again, "I want to go in and take a look."

"No!"

It was not the chief guard who spoke, but Aidil who had been following silently.

Lux looked at him in confusion and asked, "Why? Aren't you curious?"

Aidil shook his head. He knew that a mage named Silas was imprisoned inside, and that the other party was also the source of the future unrest in Demacia.

Although he knew that Silas had no ability to kill him, he knew clearly that Silas had the ability to sense the identity of other mages.

He didn't want his secrets and handles to be known by a madman full of revenge.

"The guy inside is too dangerous, we'd better not go in." Aidier shook his head seriously.

But Lux blinked her eyes slightly, and smiled with a hint of playfulness and coquettishness: "What's there to worry about? Anyway, you are with me, right? You will definitely protect me, right?"

Aidier was unmoved, staring at the other party coldly, feeling that he was a pig teammate who couldn't lead him.

He leaned over to Lux's ear, and his hot breath blew on the other's earlobe and golden hair, "The guy inside can sense whether a person is a mage. Do you want your secret to be discovered by others?"

After hearing the words in his ear, Lacus, who was originally worried because of the intimate behavior,Lux's face suddenly turned from rosy to pale.

She asked tentatively, "Really?"

Aidil looked at her firmly and nodded silently.

"Then... let's go quickly."

As if she was afraid that her secret as a demon-infected person would be discovered, Lux immediately lost the desire to continue the tour.

The two of them quickly left the Demon Hunter Headquarters under the eyes of the guard captain.

On the way, Lux recalled the scenes she had just seen, especially the imprisoned mages, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face.

She wanted to do something, not only to change the country she loved deeply, but also for her own future.

But she was worried about whether she could do it well. She was afraid that if she failed to do it, she would also get herself involved.

She turned her head to look at Aidil beside her, and her heart was slightly settled, and at the same time, it seemed that she had made some kind of determination.

'Although I don't have the confidence to do it myself, I can find Aidil. This guy can always find a way, and he gives people a very reliable and reassuring feeling. ’

Thinking of this, Lux’s eyes lit up, and she looked at the other party and said, “Aidil, let’s set up a mage association together.”

“Mage association? What’s the point of setting up that thing?” Aidil was a little confused about the other party’s train of thought.

“We can use this to help and win over those mages who need help, until we are strong enough to change this country.”

Lux said excitedly, her eyes were shining, as if the moon had lived in her eyes.

Aidil stopped and pondered, thinking carefully about the feasibility of this matter.

In Demacia, the conflicts and contradictions between the demon hunters and civilian mages have been accumulated for a long time.

And through the future of Silas, it can be shown that the riot and rise of mages are inevitable, and Silas has only become the fuse.

‘Perhaps I can also follow Silas’s example and become the leader of the Demacia mage resistance organization. Such a force can even compete with the entire Demacia, which is much better than being a small demon hunter. ’

Thinking of this, Aidil’s heart was burning. Doesn’t that man want to hold great power and command the world?

Although this matter has considerable risks, the benefits are also quite large. After all, all the mages of Demacia united together are a very powerful force.

Rather than letting this power be in the hands of the Avenger, Silas, it is better to hold it in his own hands.

“Okay, I agree.”

Aidil replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Lux was also happy in her heart, “Okay, then it’s settled.”

...

In the following days, Lux pulled Aidil to secretly establish a mage association, the purpose of which was to help those civilian mages in need.

Relying on Aidil’s position as a demon hunter and the power of Lux’s Crown Guard family, the two really dug out a lot of hidden mages in Xiongdu and its nearby villages, and lured them to join the association.

However, as the number of people increased, two different voices soon appeared in the association.

One side just wanted to live in hiding, while the other side wanted to organize more mages to join and resist Demacia's "tyranny".

Lux had a headache for a while because some mages were very radical and would counterattack the demon hunters, start a war, or cause sabotage.

The matter was not resolved until Aidil introduced someone to her.

"Sona! Why is it you?"

Lux looked at the idol in front of her, her lips slightly parted, and her face was full of shock.

She stared at Aidil with resentment, and her sharp eyes seemed like a knife, wanting to peel open his heart and see what secrets he was hiding.

She squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Aidil, you...you actually..." Her chest rose and fell, and it was obvious that she was not calm inside.

"Hurry up! What else are you hiding from me?"

Aidil waved his hands helplessly, "It's over this time. Sona is a mage's business. I told you after obtaining her consent."

"Her magic is to calm people's emotions through the sound of the piano. Maybe it can help us mediate internal disputes and unite the mages in the association better."

Lux nodded suddenly, she looked at Sona and asked: "Sona, is what he said true?"

Aidil: How much do you distrust me? This needs to be confirmed.

Sona nodded silently, always maintaining her quiet and easy-going temperament.

"I really didn't expect that Sona, you are also a mage, and you didn't tell me anything before.Tell me."

Lux sighed, looking at the other party with some resentment, pouting her lips, as if she had been betrayed by a good friend.

Sona felt helpless about this, she responded with a sweet smile, and then gently rubbed the other party's head.

"Okay, Sona didn't mean to hide it from you. You also know the situation in Demacia. We don't have a prominent family background like you. If it is exposed, no one will cover us. "

Knowing that Sona would not refute, Aidil took the initiative to explain for the other party.

Lux was not a willful person. After hearing what the other party said, she nodded in agreement.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled with relief.

She was very happy in her heart, because Sona was both her idol and her best friend.

Although the two had known each other for a short time, they had formed a deep friendship in a short period of time.

And now their relationship has to add another layer of compatriots and comrades-in-arms.

For Lux, there is nothing more gratifying than being able to share secrets with her good friends.

"Sona, welcome to join."

With Sona's joining, the mages in the association quickly put aside their personal prejudices and dissatisfaction, and their hearts were condensed together in the sound of Sona's music.
