Chapter 969: Leaks
Heaven and earth conscience, Xena really just wanted to make a joke - Lux is the kind of person who laughs every day, and when she doesn't laugh, everyone knows that something is wrong with her, and the first step to solving this problem is to make her laugh again.
So, Xena made a little joke.
No young general in Demacia is more famous than Galen, so when Lux says that her brother is a "young and promising Demacian general", Xena moves Galen's name.
However, Lux's performance left Xena a little confused.
After hearing Xena mention Galen's name, Lux froze in place, her face looking a little ...... Excuse me?
What are you embarrassed about?
What does Galen have to do with you?
Wait a minute, isn't your brother-
"Ahem." Realizing her situation, Lux coughed twice in embarrassment, and then said with some surprise, "Actually, my real name is not Lux, my name is ...... Laxana, Laxana Crownguard, Galen is my brother. ”
Listening to Lux report to herself, this time it was Xena's turn to be dumbfounded.
The Crownguard family is a first-class nobleman in Demacia, and Galen is the son of a younger generation of generals, and most importantly, Galen has always been a key figure in his unequivocal opposition to the normalization of magic.
At this point, Galen almost did not give an inch, and even had several unpleasant encounters with Gavin IV.
For Galen, too many of his comrades have died at the hands of evil mages, and those terrible mages have killed his comrades by all kinds of strange means, and he can hardly accept the fact that Demacia treats mages as normal people no matter what!
And now, Lux says she's his sister?!
Xena knew a little bit about Lux, and in her opinion, the blonde girl was smiling every day, and she belonged to the kind of person who couldn't hide things in her heart—there was no need for her to deceive herself in any way.
In other words, Galen, the vanguard of anti-magic, really has a close relative of a magician.
That's a ...... Great irony.
Having accepted this, Xena quickly understood Lux's distress.
For the average person, the place of magic in Demacia is only a political leaning, and at most some interests are involved; But for Lux, magic has become a chasm between herself and her brother.
Magic is part of Lux, but her brother is also her dearest, and normalizing it is both her mission and the only way she can bridge the gap.
Looking at the embarrassed and sad Lux, Xena reached out and straightened her long blonde hair.
"Don't worry, Lux." "We all know that magic itself is not evil—since magic isn't evil, we can always stand in the sun in Demacia, can we?" ”
“…… Here's the thing. Lux looked a little cramped, "but...... Did you know that the human heart is sometimes far more evil and terrible than you think? ”
“……”
Xena didn't speak.
Obviously, Lux knew some of the more secret information that might be related to those who wanted to stop the merger of the revolutionary army, but due to the principle of secrecy, it was impossible for Lux to tell him.
Since these things were secret, there was no need for Xena to ask—she knew very well that the scene was not an accident at all, and that Lux knew more than she knew all about names.
Xena didn't ask, and Lux didn't say anything for the first time, and the small room finally fell silent.
After a long time, Lux finally looked up.
"Sister Xena." Lux shook her lower lip and finally made her decision, "Can you tell me that the purpose of the Revolutionary Army is really just to make magic a part of Demacia?" ”
“……”
Xena hesitated, recalling a passionate speech from Silas.
"We are born with magic, and the seeds of magic have taken root and sprouted when we were still children, babies - they say we are born evil, but how is a child, a baby, who has no concept of right and wrong, who is incapable of action, how evil is it?"
"It can't be, no one has proof that a baby who has done nothing is evil."
"In that case, why are those who possess magical powers doomed to evil?"
"I used to be a member of the Demon Hunters, because of my special ability, they gave me a chance to 'make meritorious contributions', but in the process of following the team of Demon Hunters throughout Demacia, I have seen the noblest mages, and I have also seen the most despicable demons, whether or not they have the power of magic is not the key to measuring a person, magic is born evil, this is the stereotype that people have had for many years!"
Yes.
Our cause is just!
Looking up, Xena looked at Lux firmly.
"We have no intention of destroying this great kingdom, and we are also part of Demacia - but the stereotype of the caster has become an invisible confinement that locks people's minds, and all we have to do is break this invisible shackle so that the mage can walk in the sun!"
"Silas rejected the olive branch of the Noxians and was unwilling to leave the country, he loved Demacia and he loved magic, and we firmly believe that these two loves are not in conflict with each other!"
Looking at the categorical Xena, Lux hesitated slightly, and finally made up her mind.
"Sister Xena, what is going on needs to be kept a complete secret - it involves some hidden content in the sun, and the Illuminati have gathered some information about the naysayers, and the contents of this information are ...... It's shocking. ”
As she spoke, Lux took out a thin booklet and handed it to Xena.
"The Demon Hunters have taken advantage of their positions to do a lot of shady things, and in order to protect themselves, they have also distributed the benefits to many nobles, so the normalization of magic is something that many people do not want to see, and they will use all means to prevent the caster from becoming a normal citizen of Demacia, in order to escape the possible reckoning."
Zina's eyes widened.
"The Illuminati also keep this information top secret, and we haven't yet reached a unified piece on this matter, but I think that you can't do without your cooperation to eradicate this real evil."
Taking the thin booklet, Xena felt an incomparably heavy ...... Trust.
