Chapter 401: Reminiscence (I)
Aix's banquet ended uneventfully, but the aftermath of the banquet continued to ferment, as Gavin IV led his army to raid a Noxian town and bring back to Demacia the news of the capture of a strategic place, the entire Demacia people started to celebrate.

And all those who have attended the Aix banquet know that the reason why Gavin IV was able to take that land was all the result of a transaction with Aix, in which Ax must have played an important role, otherwise, Gavin IV, the prince of Demacia, would never have gone over in person to meet with Aix.
When Demacia was in a state of jubilation, Ax hid and did not attract anyone's attention, and no one knew what Ax was doing, only that Ax had not left the small building since the banquet.
Most people gradually lost interest in Aix's calmness, thinking that Aix's purpose of coming to Demacia had been achieved, and maybe he would leave after the exchange meeting, but one person kept watching Aix's movements, and even sent people to watch Aix's every move twenty-four hours a day.
Mercedes flipped through the tracking reports on Aix these days, word by word, reading word by word, not letting go of a detail, and pondering from time to time, but knowing that he had not found anything abnormal now, Ax was like a prodigal son who had reformed his ways, and the rules were unbelievable.
"How?" Mercedes asked without looking up.
"Nothing was found, he never left the State Guesthouse, he was always in his residence, we have confirmed this, and as if he deliberately asked us to confirm, he did not stop the people we arranged to inspect it, and then in the name of cleaning, we thoroughly inspected the small building, and did not find any secret passages or anything like that." Jonathan reported to Mercedes.
"If you have any doubts, just ask, if I know, I will definitely not hide it." Mercedes said suddenly.
Mercedes' promise seemed to break Jonathan's doubts, and after taking a deep breath and regulating his emotions, he asked, "Shall we take this opportunity to kill him, ...... like this?"
"Do you think we've ever thought so? It's a pity that this is Demacia, and the Demacians will ally with us because it's in their interests, but if you want to control Demacia and do whatever you want in Demacia, then I can only say that you are arrogant. Aix's deal with the Prince of Demacia, you thought it was for a magic array that didn't know what to do, and you offended Noxus, a quasi-ally? Mercedes shook his head and said with some regret: "With the protection of Demacia, he is also one of them, and there is Jiawen IV to endorse him, at least in Demacia, no one can touch him." ā
"Is that just a matter of letting him go?" Jonathan said unwillingly, from several encounters with Aix, Jonathan deeply knew that Aix's mind was meticulous, and there was nothing wrong with the opportunity, and he was simply non-human.
"Don't worry, now these are just some gifts, with my understanding of him, the purpose of his coming to Demacia this time is definitely not simple, the possible purpose is absolutely surprising, as long as we keep an eye on him, in the end, maybe we don't need to do it, Demacia will kill him." So, our mission is simply to discover his true purpose and then tell Demacia that it's as simple as that. Mercedes said lightly, it seemed that he had been watching for too long and his body was a little sleepy, Mercedes got up from his chair, stretched his waist, and then looked out the window, just in time to be able to see the small building where Aix lived, and said: "This time, none of our people are allowed to make a move on Aix, even if it is a good opportunity, don't move, except for the people who are watching, others can hide as far as they can, do you hear?" ā
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Jonathan didn't ask much, but arranged according to Mercedes's arrangement, in such a long time of cooperation, he has maintained a high tacit understanding with Mercedes, and he has also seen how Mercedes defeated all competitors within the "Guardian" and sat in the current position, now, even some elders are not as powerful as Mercedes, at least, the list of members of the "Guardian" in the major forces is not something that ordinary elders can know.
In Aix's study, Ax did not sit next to the desk, but sat in a corner, if you look closely, you will find that there is a dead corner, due to the obstruction of the bookshelf next to it, it is impossible to see that position from the outside, but because of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, it is very bright, so that Ax can see any symbol of the scroll in his hand.
Ax had been sitting there looking at the map in his hand for three days, and since then, Ax had not stopped, even taking it with him when he ate and went to the toilet.
Instead of staring at the symbols on the scrolls, Ax tapped his fingers on the spot he was looking at, and each stroke carried a gray mist on his fingers, and when his fingers left the scrolls, the gray mist disappeared again, as if everything was an illusion.
Aix's fingers lit up on the scroll very rhythmically, suddenly, as if he felt something, his fingers paused slightly, but immediately returned to normal, continuing his previous work, and just when Aix's fingers paused slightly, a puddle of water suddenly appeared next to Aix, and then, the waterhole gushed upward, and a human-shaped column of water appeared in front of Aix, and when all the water fell, a lively girl walked out of the pool.
"Use your ultimate skills like this, and you're the only one." Aix said without raising his head.
"You don't have to care, I can do whatever I want." Tina said brutally, and then walked directly to the desk regardless of where it was, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely: "What about Alice?" Why didn't I come with you? ā
"I don't know, I haven't seen her since we parted in the Faerie Lands, and I don't know where she is now." Aix replied truthfully.
"Alas, it's really pitiful, it's hard to be with the person you have a crush on, and the result is still the same as before, you can't see anyone all day long, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't confessed yet!" Tina said disdainfully, rather gloating.
