"Heh... The disgusting high-minded. ”

Silas had a sneer on his face, as if he remembered what had happened to him, and couldn't help but say angrily:

"We were born poor and deserve to die, that is, we deserve to be locked up in this dark cage, right?"

"Before you entered here, you were a member of the Demon Seekers. Everyone knows that you have magic, that you have your own discipline. It is said that you are also proud of what you have done. Laxana spoke slowly.

Looking at Silas, who was said to be silent, Laxana was not as strong as she seemed on the surface.

She even whispered in her heart:

"Teacher, is it really okay for me to say that..."

Laxana doesn't like to reveal people's scars.

"He's been locked up for 15 years, maybe he's just like you. But after so many years of torture, all that was left in his heart was hatred and the desire to vent. ”

The voice in his head paused, and then continued:

"If you want him to continue fighting for Demacia, go and subdue him. If you're just trying to get the better Demacia in your heart, killing him is the best option. ”

"Why?" Laxana couldn't help but ask.

"Because he..."

Knowing Silas' abilities from her teacher, Laxana's eyes flashed, and her surprise could barely be hidden, but she was quickly calmed down in the end.

She's not a perfect actress, but she knows in her heart that she has to learn to play different roles in the dark...

Fortunately, Silas kept his head down, seemed to be caught up in memory, and didn't care about her.

Laxana continued to maintain her tough posture and said in a cold voice:

"I've read your file, and there's no need for you to kill your discipline and colleagues at that time. I started to think you were for that mage girl, but she's dead too. ”

She paused, staring at the other party:

"Die to your magic."

"Hahahaha, yes, dead, all dead! Because of my magic. ”

Hearing the last sentence was as if the deepest scar had been revealed, and Silas's face was hideous and terrifying.

If it weren't for the fact that his arms were bound by the Forbidden Stone, no one would have doubted that he would have lunged at Laxana.

His eyes looked directly at Laxana, and with a flame of anger burning under his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said:

"So what are you here to do? Showing off your own findings? Aren't you afraid I'll tell the guards about your magic? ”

"Looking at you, it seems that there is something hidden in that incident."

Laxana was a little uneasy, but under the guidance of the teacher, a smile was hooked at the corner of her mouth, and she pretended not to care:

"I can answer you clearly about 'knowing magic', I'm not afraid."

"Just because you're a nobleman? yes, if you can get here, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of anything. ”

Silas' wrists were cuffed and his fists clenched.

Back then, it was precisely because the nobles had hidden many mages that he became more and more suspicious of what he had done.

"Do you have the ability to see if someone else has magic, or will many people believe you. I didn't mean what you think, but I was saying..."

Laxana was nervous, but she took two steps forward with a confident smile:

"Even if I say I'm a mage on the street, no one will come and arrest me."

"Impossible!"

Silas stared at the flamboyant Laxana, suspicious.

For a moment, he felt that mages were no longer taboo in Demacia.

"Nothing is impossible, Silas, times have changed. Not long ago, we lost badly against Noxus. Laxana sighed.

She felt that the recent changes in Demacia came from the continuation of the war.

And compared to the changing situation, her own change is even greater...

If she had been the way she had been, perhaps she would have run away by the time Silas revealed that they were the same kind.

"Lost? We didn't win a few times in the years we were out there. Silas's complicated expression flickered, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "So those old men want the power of the mage?" ”

He knows those aristocratic lords very well, and he really lives and dies, no matter what taboos he will try.

If that was the case, he wouldn't be surprised why Laxana dared to say that. Hearing this, he could even roughly guess the other party's intention.

"I'm not going to fight for Demacia." Silas scoffed.

"It's not what you think, this time it's different. The Winged Protector was defeated, defeated by Governor Trevary. Laxana said flatly.

It had been happening for a while that she was able to recount it in a calm language.

"The Winged Protector has been defeated?" Silas' eyes widened, a look of shock for the first time.

As a former demon seeker and can detect whether others have magical powers, how could he not know the Flying Wing Protector.

Almost every member of the Illuminati is a mage... They are also nobles.

As for the Flying Wing Protector, he has always suspected that the other party is also a powerful mage, but strong enough to be called a god.

Silas gradually calmed down, and said indifferently:

"Governor Trefary, what kind of person is this?"

"According to rumors, he is the most powerful mage in the world today, and he is already on a par with the gods. The reason I mention him is because he discovered that the power of the Winged Protector comes from magic. Laxana was not shy about it.

From the conversations just now, she felt that the teacher's analysis was not wrong.

Silas hated Demacia, but he still cared about Demacia.

When she talks about Demacia's defeat by Noxus, Silas has anger on her face instead of real gloating.

Of course, perhaps he wanted to destroy Demacia with his own hands.

But in her heart, Silas thought she wanted to create a new Demacia. Although that Demacia may have some extremes.

"Winged Protector..."

"Magic... Sure enough, it was as I thought. ”

Silas looked away and whispered in the dimly lit dungeon, and when he had digested the information, he looked up at Laxana again:

"So because the Winged Protector uses magic, you're divided among yourself. It's ironic... The Winged Protectors have all been defeated, and Demacia is almost finished. ”

Everyone knows that Noxus will not miss the opportunity to eliminate Demacia.

And at this time, Demacia was still entangled in magic, how could this not die.

"Demacia will be fine, we still have the strength to spare." Laxana stared at Silas with indifferent eyes, "Also, don't be fooled into thinking you're strong. ”

Listening to the teacher's words in her mind, she hesitated in her heart, but still took two more steps forward, almost close to the iron prison.

In this position, Silas's hands can attack her with the rest of his body, even if he is imprisoned.

At the moment, Silas did the same.

He straightened the chains of his arms, and without hesitation swept his legs out of the bar.

There was no ruthlessness on his feet, apparently thinking of capturing rather than killing.

But Laxana was not the slightest bit cowardly at the moment, and her mind became unusually calm in the face of the swept whip legs.

The beam of light gathered in her hand and exploded with a bang.

Bang!

Silas snorted, and the whole person was blown away, hitting the wall with a loud bang.

And the legs he swept out were bent there at a strange angle, and they looked like they were already broken.

"You're really different from Miss Noble." Silas grinned as he fought through the pain.

"You're underestimating me. As I said before, even if I'm exposed to the sun, I can leave calmly. ”

Laxana spoke, her body turning into light and slowly striding forward.

Silas squinted, stinging at the light she emitted.

Then he saw something horrifying him.

Step-by-step, Laxana broke through the bars and entered the cell.

"You!?" Silas' eyes widened.

"Don't rely too much on power, Silas."

Laxana whispered, her hand gently stroking Silas's legs.

A warm glow seeped into it, and the click of bones meeting bones rang out.

In just a few breaths, Silas' legs were back to normal.

Silas, whose legs were restored, was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a move even if Laxana was standing in front of him.

It has just been proven that Laxana is far stronger than him.

As for the other party's admonition just now, he scoffed in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that I was too weak...

Laxana stood up, a soft smile on her face, "We are one kind. ”

Obviously, at first, this sentence came from himself, but now he wants to doubt the correctness of this sentence.

Silas looked at each other in a daze, and in his perception, the girl in front of him was radiating dazzling light.

He had never seen such a vast amount of magic power, and it wasn't until the other party cast a spell that he discovered that the other party's hidden magic could even deceive his own perception.

He wondered if the other party was really a mage. Even if he included himself, the mages he had seen didn't have as much magic as Laxanado.

He suddenly understood what she meant, she was telling herself... If he had this kind of strength, he wouldn't have been caught in this hellish place at all.

"What do you want me to do?"

Silas asked, sitting cross-legged on the floor, his tone a little weaker.

It wasn't until just now that he really understood that the other party didn't need to rely on his strength at all. And since I told him so much, I won't let him be cannon fodder.

"I want to hear your story, that's all." Laxana smiled brightly.

But she sighed in her heart, completely convinced of her teacher's vision and judgment.

What the teacher said is true, in the real world, only strength can win what you want.

This strength or power, or power, or birth, or connections...

In the end, come up with something to be feared.

Hearing Laxana's words, Silas was slightly stunned, and only felt a little ridiculous:

"You just want to hear my story?"

The other party behaved so strongly, and deliberately came to this place that was almost forgotten, just to listen to the story?

"Before you do anything else, you have to listen to your story."

"Really... Hahahaha, my story... Since you want to hear it, then I will tell you, a story of Demacia dominated by the aristocracy! ”

Knowing why, Silas suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and burst into a hearty laugh, and he looked up at Laxana and answered without hesitation.

Although their communication was not pleasant, this was the first girl to want to hear his story.

Once, before he entered here, no matter how much he wanted to tell the grievances, no one wanted to listen.

Not a single one...

Possession of magic is a capital offense.

"You should know the story of me joining the Demon Seeker. I was born into a civilian family in Demacia, and my parents reported my enchantment to the Demon Seekers, who were loyal citizens. Silas's voice was hoarse, and he began to tell his story.

Laxana nodded slightly, and just stood not far from Silas, adding:

"After that, the Demon Seeker took a fancy to your ability and assigned you a special discipline to search for the mages of Demacia."

"Do you know what the disciplinarian told me to do first thing at the time?" Silas grinned, his voice full of mockery.

Seeing that Laxana did not reply, he laughed and said:

"He told me to only test the people they designated, and as for the others, don't say anything without asking."

"I didn't understand what he meant just now, but then I did. The bullshit demon seekers are all civilians and powerless people. None of the mages on the streets of Xiongdu have ever been imprisoned in this dungeon. ”

"I stayed there for a few years, and I got used to Demacia's deceit, and I began to question my own behavior, and I questioned the rules that Demacia had made."

Silas looked at Laxana with a smile, and seeing that the other party still had no expression, he seemed a little disappointed, and continued:

"As I struggled with right and wrong, I came across something you knew..."

Listening to Silas's narration, it is impossible to say that Laxana was not touched.

If the teacher hadn't reminded Silas that he was using words to induce her, perhaps she would have refuted it.

From Silas's mouth, the original appearance of the incident was restored:

"At that time, I was the first to find the girl, and she was so young that I couldn't do it. But the Demon Seeker came just in time, and I didn't have time to save her. ”

"When I touched her, my magic exploded..."

"Runaway magic destroyed everything, that girl died, the demon seeker died, my discipline died, everyone died..."

Laxana's expression flickered, she knew that Silas's words were also half-true. But when the other party mentioned the girl, the pain and hurt on his face did not seem to be fake.

"I escaped and was not wanted. At that time, I had no scruples, constantly killing the demon seekers and saving the mages they were holding captive. ”

Silas said this, smiling heartily:

"They call me the worst mage in history, a fitting title. But the mages called me a pioneer. I love the name. ”

"In the end you failed," said Laxana.

"yes, I failed. Stand trial and live in prison. Silas doesn't shy away from his end.

He seemed to understand Raksanna's thoughts.

But he wanted freedom more than submission.

But he doesn't have the right to choose, the other party is the only glimmer of light he has in this dark dungeon...

"You want change?" Silas asked.

"Perhaps." Laxana was noncommittal, "The story is very well told. However, there is a part that needs to be corrected. ”

"Where?" Silas looked slightly stunned.

In order to achieve certain goals, he did not hide anything. Sometimes, the truth only needs to be told in part.

"Your true ability is to extract the magic of the mage and use it for your own use, and it is from this power that you missed at that time." Laxana swallowed the surprise in her heart and recounted as usual.

"yes, I didn't know until later." Silas raised an eyebrow, not surprised.

His ability has long been exposed, otherwise he would not be worthy of the forbidden magic stone handcuffs of these hands.

"What would you do if you were let out?" Laxana asked suddenly.

Faced with this question, Silas was slightly surprised. He thought the question would wait until he asked.

"Help the mages get justice and establish a Demacia that allows mages to exist." He said truthfully.

"Anything else?" Laxana asked with a smile.

"There's nothing else, that's enough." Silas looks like he's seen the world to the fullest.

Laxana looked at her, and the corners of her mouth raised a light smile:

"I trust you, Mr. Silas. It was a pleasure to talk to you today, and I will be back in a few days. ”

Watching Laxana cross the iron railing, Silas had a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she still suppressed her emotions and said with a smile:

"It's nice to have someone to relieve your boredom."

He sat cross-legged on the ground and watched as Laxana picked up the torch and walked to the door.

The moment the door was opened, Laxana suddenly shouted angrily at Silas:

"It's unreasonable, you should read more of the history of the founding of Demacia, you are reversing black and white!"

The sound was so loud that even Curris, who was standing at the door, was slightly surprised.

Immediately afterward, the cell door closed again, taking away the last shred of light from the cell.

"Funny girl..."

In the silence and darkness of the environment, Silas's eyes twinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After leaving the dungeon, Laxana was eager to communicate with her teacher:

"Teacher, his last sentence is a lie."

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as he agrees with what he says."

Hearing the teacher's profound words again, Laxana had a bitter face, thought for a while, and said uncertainly:

"Teacher, do you mean that whether he is sincere or perfunctory, we have to let him think like this before he comes out?"

"Well understood, Laxana. From the moment he is willing to tell you his story, the first step has been successful. ”

Laxana nodded as if she didn't understand, and began to analyze:

"I remember the teacher once said that when a person opens up to you countless times, he will subconsciously trust and believe in you because you know him well enough. Is this situation also useful for Silas who has other intentions? ”

"People need a sense of identity, especially those who have been forgotten by the world for more than a decade. The only thing he can reach is you, and he is eager to leave, so he will be eager to get close to you and get to know you. In the process, you are able to reshape his mind on your own terms. ”

Hearing the teacher's calm words, Laxana shuddered slightly.

He felt that what his teacher said was a bit extreme, if it was her before, she would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

Even now, she still has some hesitation in her heart:

"Teacher, does it have to be like this?"

"If you think you're wrong, there's really no need to do that."

The voice in her head was soft, but it made Laxana wake up suddenly.

She's obviously doing what she thinks is right, making Silas think like her...

What's wrong?

"Teacher, I see!" Laxana nodded emphatically.

"Have you thought of the book you'll bring to Silas later?"

The teacher's inquiry froze Laxana's face, and the angry rebuke she had made when she had left had two purposes.

One is to tell Curris and the other guards that she wasn't bewitched. And inform them that she will come back in the future.

The other is that in their plan, it is really time to bring something to Silas next time.

A person who has been isolated for 15 years needs to know a lot of information in order to quickly keep up with her.

"Teacher, do you have any recommendations?"

Laxana opened her mouth with embarrassment on her face.

She began to think about taking Demacia's history books, but after listening to the teacher's analysis, she felt that this did not work well.

Soon, the teacher gave her a satisfactory answer in her mind.

"Of the books you've read recently, 'On Empires' is a pretty good one, even though it's from Noxus and co-authored by their presidents and vice-presidents. But many of the ideas described in it are in line with your current situation, and you can use them to instill your own ideas. ”

"On Empire... It is indeed a book that has benefited me a lot. ”

Laxana nodded and agreed to her teacher's suggestion.

Because I often receive news from Noxus recently, there are also a lot of books circulating there. At the suggestion of her teacher, she read almost everything.

Even if she was from Demacia, she had to admit it... Politically and ideologically, Noxus was too far ahead of Demacia.

There's so much to learn that Demacia shouldn't rest on its laurels.

Thinking of this, Laxana walked briskly towards the house.

She heard that a new batch of books had arrived today.

This time the volume is very large, unlike the previous contraband, this time it is the first official trade goods from Noxus...
