Jeno and the others followed the Fiona siblings to Laurent's mansion.

Laurent is also a family at the patriarchal level of Demacia, but the impact of the previous marriage refusal turmoil was too great, resulting in many assets of the Laurent family being recovered by the kingdom and reduced to a third-rate small family.

This is also the reason why Fiona has always called herself a small family.

However, the luxurious ancestral mansion is still preserved, and it will not look shabby to entertain the eldest lady from a first-class family like Oglovisa Bouville.

Several people came directly to the table and sat down, the huge dining table almost filled the entire dining room, and a rough count of the nearly dozens of seats also showed that Fiona had many immediate family members.

But I don't know if it's because it's an hour or two earlier than the normal meal, or because Fiona didn't inform the other relatives, except for the servants, there are only four people at the table. However, Jeno noticed that there was a fifth seat at the table with cutlery.

The servants had already prepared the dishes at the table, with fat roast goose and steaks on plates, a bowl of delicious oyster soup, and a glass of sweet wine.

The tableware on the table is all made of silver, including the knife and fork in Jeno's hand, which is engraved with intricate and symmetrical patterns, and you can feel the high-end texture when you hold it in your hand, all of which are full of neat and luxurious beauty.

Jeno didn't expect that his first dinner in Demacia was actually hosted by Fiona, and he casually began to think about what kind of purpose Fiona had in order to invite him.

If the dishes are served sequentially, then the chef will have time to prepare lunch, which also shows that Fiona is not sure when she will meet Jeno, so she cannot prepare lunch in advance.

If the dish is served at the beginning, it means that Fiona already knows what he is doing, which makes him feel irritated and forgets how to be elegant.

"Please use it slowly, we'll talk while we eat." Fiona took off her gloves, folded her napkin, and made a gesture of please.

Jeno first served a bowl of soup, and the milky white soup noodles were floating with shrimp meat cut into flowers. It was not right to drink the soup first according to etiquette, but since Jeno was a Gentile, no one blamed him.

"Miss Laurent, is there anything you are looking for me?" After a mouthful of warm soup, Jeno asked casually.

"Mr. Jeno, can you tell me the purpose of this visit to Xiongdu?"

"Marshal Tiana asked a similar question." Jeno expertly dismembered a crab without taking his eyes off it, and did not answer Fiona's question head-on. Fiona was patient with this.

"And how did you answer at the time?"

"I'm here to find someone, and they've found it, and they'll be leaving soon." Jeno pouted.

"Nasilas ......"

"Silas caught it on the way to Xiongdu, you can ask Miss Bouvier about this."

Fiona didn't ask Ogwesa about it, apparently she just wanted to know about Silas and Jano's relationship. Ogwisa quietly continued to deal with a steak, with a slight anguish on her face that she couldn't speak to the object of her admiration.

"Why do you ask about this? Did Silas hurt your family? Jeno asked.

"No, I just like to care about current affairs, and that's why I know about my husband's heroic deeds outside."

Ogwisa looked up suddenly, she was intrigued by what Jeno had been going through. Because of the closure of Demacia, the meaning of the name Jeno Philos is rarely known in the country.

"Don't talk about the in the past, you didn't come to me just to talk about this, did you?" However, Jeno didn't want to talk about it, which made Ogilvesa even more curious. Jeno doesn't look very old, how can he feel as if he has experienced many great events.

Fiona ordered the servant to leave the dining room, then answered Jeno's question.

"Indeed, this is not the main thing. I have a banquet for Mr. today, mainly to ask him what he thinks of the forbidden demon system in Demacia? ”

"Isn't it good to talk about this kind of topic?" Jano blinked.

"I believe you have absolute authority in this regard." Fiona cut a piece of steak and moved gracefully like a swordsman.

"Okay, then I'll casually share my humble opinion." Seeing that no one objected, Jeno cleared his throat: "Based on the Forbidden Demon Stone, Demacia has developed in this rich land for hundreds of years, and has achieved the current powerful kingdom of the supremacy of law, with great military achievements and a long reputation. ”

"However, under the fame, the Demacians gradually became self-serving, refused to accept new things, became more and more isolated from the world, and became synonymous with isolationism."

With that, Jeno paused to see the reaction of the three Demacians in the room—well, no one wanted to hit him.

This hand-in-hand depreciation just rightly eliminated the dissatisfaction of the three people.

"I don't deny the pain that magic has caused to Demacia, but what does it mean that after hundreds of years, magic has not disappeared from the kingdom, but has increased year by year? It shows that no matter how many forbidden magic stones there are, it will not be able to completely eradicate magic from the kingdom. Magic is not a disease in the first place, but something buried in the bones and inherited from the blood, how can it be completely eradicated! If it can't be eradicated, why can't we change the tradition and try to embrace it? ”

When Jeno said this, he did not carry any personal feelings, but objectively stated a fact.

Ogwesha's spoon fell onto the plate with a crisp sound. There was silence at the table, and everyone stopped their knives and forks in their hands, forgetting to swallow the food they were chewing.

It's not that you can speak freely without being stained, Jeno's words are tantamount to heresy, and if it gets out, everyone at the table will be arrested by the demon seekers.

But even so, Oglowisa was impressed, because in Jeno's eyes, she was not a mistake.

"Think about it, what can magic be used for?" Jeno said.

Fiona thought for a moment and said, "Murder? ”

Seeing Jeno's expression become strange, she said, "Forgive me for not knowing much and only seeing the magic of killing." ”

Jeno was bothered by this, he knew Fiona was playing dumb and had to wait for him to say it. But forget it, he didn't bother to expose her, so let's open it up.

"Magic can not only kill, but it can kill people in all sorts of unbelievable ways. But is magic really all that can be done this way? They can be used for a variety of purposes, some can be used to grow plants, some can be domesticated animals, they can be used to make fires without pay, and they can be used to freeze ice in the summer...... There is nothing it can't do, only what you can't think of. When one day, the wings of the Colossus will not be able to reach the kingdom, and the sword in your hand will not be able to protect your family, how will you defeat the enemy? When that time comes, do you have any choice but to surrender or use magic to fight back? ”
