Chapter 41: Heated Debate

Since the mysterious woman's home really couldn't find anything to eat, Hao had no choice but to hold his chest and walk out on the street.

This appearance was immediately recognized by the city guards, it turned out that during this time, the prince did not spend a lot of effort in finding the suddenly missing Hao, and the demon searcher, the city guards and the dreadnought vanguard group were all notified.

So Hao was immediately sent to Dawn Castle, and after a full meal in Meimei, the prince asked with a solemn face, "What happened?"

"I had nothing to do at night, I went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to encounter an assassination!" Of course, Hao knew that the invitation of the demon dyer, the chance encounter with the legendary Morgana, and even two consecutive waves of dangerous assassinations could not be said at will.

"Who is the other party?, do you have any clues?" The prince is not a fool, seeing that Hao didn't want to say why he ran out of Dawn Castle, he didn't continue to ask, but asked Hao from the assassination itself.

"A crossbowman, two swordsmen, and swordsmen were all killed by me, and the crossbowmen were far away, so they should have run away, oh, you want to tell me the clues? I remember that there was a swordsman who called the archer the commander!" Hao didn't seem to hide it at all, and said it all in one go.

"Commander, hmph, are the Noxians, only they come up with these messy titles!" the prince patted Hao's bed lightly, got up and said, "You just have a good rest here, don't run around, Xiongdu is indeed a bit chaotic these days, but no matter what, you must be absolutely safe here!"

Hao saw the prince's tightly knit brows and hurried steps, knowing that the prince must be dealing with some of his own affairs now, so he simply didn't say anything, and directly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

I don't know how long the time has passed, but I only heard the sound of "bang", and the prince pushed the door in again with an irritated face......

"What's wrong?" Hao asked, confused.

"Went to an unpleasant meeting!" said the prince, finding a chair and sitting down with a heavy ass.

"Heh, who else dares to make you unhappy? You won't be scolded by your father, right?" Hao tried to make his tone as witty as possible, he was now comforting the prince.

"No, just ...... It's just because those nobles are asking too much about how to deal with the demon stainers!" The prince sighed, "But fortunately, with the father and the king here, they don't dare to make too much trouble!"

"Hey, I understand something again!" Although Hao was smiling, his heart was as cold as ice.

Obviously, Xiongduli is now clearly divided into three factions.

Some of the civilian mages and prisoners represented by Silas, the extreme forbidden demon faction composed of demon seekers and many nobles, and the moderate faction represented by the king and the royal family.

It can be seen from the invitation and pleading of the Dyed's graveyard that they want to contact the king through themselves, and then win over the entire moderate faction to protect them, and this is certainly not what the Ban Cult wants to see, so if the second assassination was carried out by the Noxians.

That...... Well, the first assassination of that muscular giant and two gnomes was very likely to be done by the Forbidden Demon Sect!

Killing yourself can not only threaten and attack the moderates, but more importantly, muddy the waters of Xiongdu, so that they can justifiably come up with more radical means to slaughter the demon dyers under the banner of maintaining law and order!

It is foreseeable that last time it was General Anthony, this time it was himself, and next time it could be Andrei, or even the prince! Only...... Yes, you underestimated my strength and luck, so don't blame my master for being ruthless and starting to fight back!

Thinking of this, Hao said to the prince Zhengse: "Your Highness, there is a famous saying in our hometown that where there is oppression, there is resistance!

...... "The prince was stunned, girl, you just said that you understood something again, and in the blink of an eye, you said a famous saying?

"You see, a tree species or a boulder, which of the two is more powerful?" Hao gave an example.

"Of course it's a boulder!"

"That's right, the boulder crushes the tree species and prevents it from growing, but if the boulder can hold down for a while, can it be pressed forever? Eventually, the tree will grow a sapling out of the cracks, and then grow bigger and bigger, and when it grows into a towering tree, you can only think about the fate of this boulder, and only the end of being overthrown!"

"You mean, for those who are infected with demons, if we don't kill them all, sooner or later they will grow into towering trees?"

"Hehe, what you're talking about are the wrong ideas of those extreme demon forbidden factions, the question is whether they can kill all the demon stainers? Every child born may be a demon dyer, how can you tell the difference? Can't tell if you want to kill all the children? And as far as I know, many nobles' families have family members who are also demon stainers, and some nobles even hire magicians to serve them, should these people also be killed? Du Lang's notes you took for me, Du Lang himself said that the Colossus of Justice Galio is driven by magic, since the demon is forbidden, do you want to smash him too?"

The prince wanted to argue at first, but in the end, he was left to sit weakly in the chair, but his eyes were still hot, every word Hao said was like a hammer smashed into his chest, he knew that it was true, but he didn't want to admit it!

"Your Royal Highness, Honorable Prince!" Hao saw that the prince was a little distracted, so he opened his mouth and shouted, because his next words would further subvert the prince's cognition, "How did the Guangdun family become a royal family, I think you know better than me, right?" At that time, the food was only enough for some people, whether it was starvation to death or being killed by the tyrannical king or burned to death by the winged protector, it was necessary to die some people, and the other part of the people could have enough food to live and continue the inheritance of the Demacian Kingdom! Now I just want to ask you one thing, why is it that the king must be brutal and the winged protector is righteous, if it is also murder?"

"The law!" the Winged Protector has said that law is justice, and that damn tyrannical king has ignored the law!" replied the prince eagerly.

"With your identity, don't deceive yourself! The so-called law is also written by people, and it is also enforced by people, if the person who writes the law enforces the law is not fair and unjust, how can the law be just?" Hao suddenly raised his voice, and then he said in a quick tone, "The nobles are shouting hoarsely every day to ban demons, but they are still using magic arrays to deliver messages!" The Winged Protector keeps saying that she wants to uphold the law, but she herself has casually attracted the magic flames in the sky, and it is also called the fire of judgment, doesn't she understand that she can fly and live forever, all because she is a magical creature herself, if you want me to see, she should be judged!"

"That's enough!Hao, you're too much!" the prince stood up with a pale face, and after he took a few heavy breaths, he walked quickly to the door, and said as he walked, "What you said today, I hope you will never say another word in the future, then...... After that, tomorrow I will ask my father for his life, and you should hurry back to your Black Sea fortress!"

But Hao was like crazy, and even stood up, staring at the back of the prince, and even the door that had been closed, and kept saying: "In this world, there is no real justice, and there is no real right or wrong, everything is just the weight of the game of the authorities, but I hope you can understand the simple truth that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, since you have this status and ability, why don't you try to make some changes!?"

......

In the King's study in the Castle of Dawn, the King was gently tapping his fingers on the desk and muttering, "Water can carry a boat and it can capsize a boat...... That's a good point!"

"Your Majesty!" a guard at the door of the study asked worriedly, "Many of the things this Hao said violated the law, do you want me to bring someone to control him immediately?"

"Breaking the law, hmph, not as serious as you say, it's just some passionate discussion among young people about the political situation! You can go down......" The king waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Xin, who was beside him, to close the door.

"Goo-dong, goo-dong, goo-dong!" the king drank all the wine in the big wine glass on the desk in one go, and then he laughed and said, "I found Zhao Xin, to keep my life safe, it seems that this Hao that my son found is even more powerful, I think he can ensure the prosperity of my country in Demacia, hahaha!"

Zhao Xin, who was standing on the side, did not speak, he first filled the king's wine glass, and then he picked up another wine glass and took a sip, which was his agreement with the king.

Zhao Xin has always disliked drinking, but countless nights, the king will pull him to force him to drink a little with him, this king who does not smile in front of outsiders and is old and dignified, only on such nights will he let go of his mood, sometimes he will laugh until he tears, and will passionately talk about his wishes and dreams entrusted to his son.

As tonight, the king laughed tired and muttered, "It's a pity that my son's mind is still not open, no, I have to help him pave the road......"

"I should have done it a long time ago!" said the king, who suddenly took up his quill with a determined expression, and said without raising his head, as he sat down at his desk and began to write, each drop of the quill was a stab in rage, and his strokes were like fierce cannon fire.

"Your Majesty?" rarely saw the king's emotions revealed, and Zhao Xin shouted softly.

"We are too stubborn about what we fear," said the king, still not looking up, but pausing his angry rage for the time being. "We're so stupid. I'm so stupid. In order to protect ourselves, we have created our own enemies that we fear the most. ”

"Forgive me for being stupid, Your Majesty. Zhao Xin said.

The king finally stopped his pen and raised his head. At that moment, he suddenly looked much older. His forehead was covered with furrows, and his beard was already gray.

"I reproach myself," said the king, his eyes drifting into the empty distance, "I have given them too much power. I always had doubts about it, but they argued for it, and they had the support of the Parliament. Now, I see my mistake, it's my negligence. I will issue an order to the Demon Seekers to suspend the search. ”

The king bowed his head and read his letter again. He let out a painful sigh. He said, "If I had had the courage, perhaps disaster could have been avoided." ”

He signed the letter, then put his seal on the side with a drop of melted royal blue wax. He blew on the seal again, then lifted the letter and shook it gently to allow the wax to cool as quickly as possible.

The wax seal froze, and the king rolled up the oracle and stuffed it into a white crusty cylinder, sealing the lid tightly, and he handed the cylinder to his chief steward.

Zhao Xin did not speak or act. He looked at the letter that the king had handed him, but did not reach for it.

The king raised his eyebrows, and Zhao Xin had no choice but to accept it.

"Do you want me to give this to the messenger, Your Majesty?" said Zhao Xin.

"No," said the king, glancing coldly at the door of the study, "you send it for me, and I trust you alone, my friend." ”

Zhao Xin nodded solemnly, and then pinned the cylinder to his belt, "To whom?"

"Commander of the Demon Hunters. The king said. He held up a finger, "Don't let his servants collect it for him." Be sure to give it to him with your own hands. ”

Zhao Xin bowed, "The mission must be achieved." Just wait until the streets are cleared and the whereabouts of the fugitives are ascertained. ”

"No," said the king, "I want you to go now." ”

"I am your personal bodyguard, Your Majesty," Zhao Xin frowned, and he said, "I shouldn't have left the palace. Not today. ”

"I want you to send this letter, or the situation will continue to deteriorate," said the king, "and the Demon Seekers must be ordered to stop in order to avoid an escalation of the confrontation." At this point, there is no choice. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's wise to send meβ€”" Zhao Xin spoke, but the king interrupted him sharply.

"This is not a request, Governor," he said, "and I command you to serve this decree at once, without error. ”

Zhao Xin was in a dilemma. He had sworn allegiance to King Gavin and had never disobeyed a single order since, as he had done for twenty years.

So he said in embarrassment, "My duty is here, and I will protect you, Your Majesty." ”

"Your duty is to protect Demacia. The king rubbed his eyes, and the tiredness on his face became more palpable.

"You are the king," said Zhao Xin, "and you are Demacia." ”

"Demacia is greater than any king!" said Gavin sharply, "and it is useless to say more. I've made up my mind. ”

Zhao Xin's instincts were screaming, warning of danger, but his sense of responsibility made his heart silent, he bowed, said "obey" helplessly, and then turned around and walked out of the room......
