The atmosphere became a little delicate for a while, even though both sides had indeed laid down their weapons and stopped using magic, the situation became more tense than before, in the face of this expected situation, Regina sighed slightly, although he didn't want to do this, but he still said to Xiu and Sivana quietly: "You guys take Your Majesty quickly...... Gavin II went to the council hall, and now my perspective is not suitable for coming forward, so I will trouble you. ”

“…… Well. ”

Xiu nodded slowly, he and Shivana looked at each other, as if they wanted to get some kind of support, after seeing Shivana's affirmative eyes, he walked in front of the second without shame with his staff in his hand: "Father, let's go." ”

The anger and incomprehension between the eyebrows of the second can no longer be concealed at this time, he didn't understand what happened at all, he thought that this was just a fortress built by Reginald alone, but at this moment, he realized that things may not be so simple, looking at Xiu's expression, as his father, the second is very clear that this is the performance when he has something to hide, could it be that Xiu's persuasion last night was just a preparation for this matter? The second could no longer restrain the sneer at the corner of his mouth, but still tried his best to say to him calmly: "In what capacity are you saying this? Is it my beloved son, or is it Reginald's beloved disciple? “

"It's both." Xiu was silent for a moment, and finally replied that he was now caught between two of his dearest people, and this embarrassment &1&本&read&novel{.{ yb}{du}.} It is conceivable, but he has become the only link between the two.

"That's not the answer I want, you have to choose one of them!" The second raised his voice very unnaturally, and even Zhao Xin couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Hmm......" Facing his angry father, Xiu did not have any intention of retreating, in fact, now he has no way to retreat, he gritted his teeth gently, and even tears flashed in his eyes, even so, he still made up his mind, holding his staff in his hand and holding his head high and bowing to the second mage: "I take the archmage Reginald? As a disciple of Ashram, I solemnly invite King Gavin II of Demacia to the council hall, please come with me. ”

"Hah...... Hahahahaha......ha

This may be the first time Xiu has defied his father's will, in the face of his son who spoke to him in this tone, the second laughed angrily, the rocky ground under his feet had already shown some signs of shattering, at this time no one dared to come forward to talk to him, he could only wait silently, until after a while, the second waved his hand and turned away, and the atmosphere eased a little.

"Alright, it's time for us to go."

In normal circumstances, Burnham would have laughed at what happened to the Second without a doubt, but this time, the Chief Archmage's sentence made him pay no attention to this, and after the Second and his party left, Lalivash tapped the ground with his staff to remind them that his hair had returned to normal, and he had been immersed in magic for many years, so that his body was almost integrated with the magic in his body, and whenever he used magic, his body would change accordingly.

"Hmm...... I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation. ”

Burnham only gave a symbolic warning, he knew the strength of his chief archmage very well, not to mention that there was still Reginald standing beside him, and they would not take advantage of any conflict with these two.

"Very well, by the way, little crow, let the bird on your shoulder be quiet and stay there honestly, if I find it flying away, I will stew it and feed it to the cat, whose guidance is your magic, you don't know the answer to this question, right?"

"Uh...... Good. Svein nodded at once, and the crow on his shoulder was no longer the gloomy look, and lowered its head as if afraid of something.

――

This is the largest council hall on the east side of the War College, made of pure white marble, with a small skylight directly above the circular dome, which is reflected by the smooth walls around it, and even if it is not magical, it is incredibly bright in the daytime.

There were eight people seated at the round table, Reginald and Lalivash sat opposite each other, and the round table was divided into two halves, one half of which housed Burnham, Svein, and the unknown young general, while the other half sat Gawain II, Zhao Xin, and Sivana.

"Very well, since we can sit at the same table together, then we can talk about the next topic together" Reginald is well aware that the people sitting here have their own agendas now, and if you want to make the next discussion easier, you have to draw attention to topics that interest them more" As I said before, it wasn't me and Lalivash who built this place, it was built by us and our disciples and the clear-headed magicians of Demacia and Noxus, They, like me, are no longer loyal to you, and I hope you don't blame them.

"Hmph, no wonder I've been finding it difficult to mobilize this group of mages since a few months ago, is that the reason?" Svein said coldly, because of the special nature of magicians, it is impossible for the army to treat them like ordinary soldiers, magicians have considerable freedom, and can refuse some unimportant orders for personal reasons.

"That's right," Reginald glared at him coldly, and continued, "Please look around, and tell me, what do you see in these six paintings?" “

The crowd looked up and looked around, and on the six paintings hanging on the walls of the hall depicted six different maps, familiar and unfamiliar to them, yes, these were the six continents that once existed in the Land of Runeterra, and now, only the last one was left.

"This is a map of what was once the Land of Runeterra...... Right? Shivana was the first to reply, not because she wanted to answer, but because the others were just silently looking at the paintings without saying a word.

"That's right, little girl, this is the map of what was once Runeterra," Reginald seemed to deliberately accentuate the words "Once," he glanced at the others, and then asked her, "Then please answer me again, how did the other continents disappear except for the Varojan continent?" “

"Destroyed by magic." Shivana's voice was not loud, but it was clear.

"That's right, all five continents were destroyed by magic, and I was 'lucky' to be a part of the destruction of the Narsa continent" Reginald smiled self-deprecatingly, she smiled and nodded to Shivana, while turning her gaze to the silent Gavin II "Your Excellency, I know your magical prowess, if you want, you can split the city in half with a single blow, and Lord Svein's magic is powerless in front of you, so tell me, why didn't you do it?" “

……

"If I do, this place will become a dangerous forbidden place for a long time." After a moment of silence, II finally replied, his tone seemed a little tired, and he didn't hide it in the slightest.

"That's right, you also know that if you really do this, in the next fifty years, at least fifty years in the future, any item that is lower than the magic power you are using now will be cut to pieces as long as it passes through here, the magic on the Rune Continent is not an empty thing, it will react with magic, and you are also trying to abide by the magic reaction limit law established when you came here, and try to ensure the safety and integrity of this continent."

"This is just a commitment made by Demacia and other countries, and Noxus has never agreed to this agreement." Burnham said from the side.

"Really? But since then, your mage forces have rarely been on important missions, and have relied heavily on Zaun's chemical weapons, do you think I don't know anything? Lalivash retorted dismissively, and Burnham opened his mouth as if to refute something, but said nothing.

"Thank you, Lalivash, in that case, I can assume that you are both aware of the current situation, so can you explain what happened to the battle on the plains of Hertuk a year ago?"

The Hetuk Plain, a vast plain between Demacia and Noxus, had been the site of what had been the biggest battle in decades a year earlier, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides fighting, and when the battle reached a stalemate, the barely seen mage troops reappeared in the barracks of both sides, and after a few simple rounds of fire, the two sides hastily ended the months-long battle.

"I think you were all hot-headed at the time, so you decided to send out a force of magicians, but fortunately you all know that if you continue to use magic as you did before, we will only be able to live in the sea now, tell me both of you, what has become of the Hetuk Plains now?"

"It's just a small ploy, and I never thought I'm going to ...... there"

"Don't divert from the subject, Lord Burnham! Tell me, what has become of it now? Reginald asked loudly.

"Okay, okay! It's now a swamp of magical storms and strange creatures! I'll deal with Demacia as required by the Law of the Limit, are you satisfied? ”

"No, I'm quite dissatisfied."
