Chapter 263: Ms. Tiana, who knows the times
"Aunt Tiana, wake up, are you alright?"
When Generalissimo de Macia, Tiana Crownguard, slowly woke up, the first thing she saw was her niece.
"Laxana...... You're not in the Silver City...... No, what the hell is going on......"
With Lux in her arms, Tiana sat up from the floor, rubbing her temples vigorously as the hazy memories began to regain in her mind.
From the crusade against that scarecrow demon, to the war with Noxus, and the appearance of the monk who called himself the Blue Maiden...... These memories are very clear and there are no problems.
But since the young girl left, what Tiana remembers is that the young girl chose a felony to be her heir, and then the guy named Silas in a cabinet meeting......
"Shhh
Tiana gasped, the memories she could barely remember, but they were as unreal as if they were in a dream.
"What the hell am I ...... What did that guy do? What about His Majesty?! ”
Tiana's face changed, and she pushed Lux away, covering her head, and staggered to her feet.
"Don't worry, this guy is almost schizophrenic under the infection of the four lamp rings, and he shouldn't be interested in doing anything terrible to you—but if you talk about it, King Gavin III will be miserable."
Squatting in front of Silas's corpse, Red, who was studying a few light rings, casually pointed to Gavin III, who was not far behind.
Tiana's pupils shrank and froze in place, and the other members of the Demacian Council slowly woke up from the ground, and when they saw the body of Gavin III split in two, they immediately fell into a panic.
"Oh my God, His Majesty was actually ......"
"Someone killed the king!"
"Someone, get the murderer under control immediately—"
"Don't be noisy, bothered?"
But at this moment, Red let out a loud shout, and a chill instantly enveloped the entire Hall of Valor.
"Are you all blind, or are you all fools...... The man who controls you, the man who killed Govin III, is already lying here—who are you going to control? ”
Red got up from the ground, where he played a language game, and the person who killed Gawain III was not necessarily the last person to kill Gawain III.
However, it seems that after seeing the real horror in him, most of the parliamentarians did not dare to question Red.
Except for Tiana.
Tiana looked at the corpse of Govin III with a somber face, and then at Red who was standing in front of her.
After about a minute, Tiana turned to look at Lux.
"Laxana, who killed His Majesty the King?"
Lux's expression was a little flustered, although she didn't see the scene of Red doing it with her own eyes, but through the analysis of the battlefield situation at that time, and what Silas said at the time......
Lady Radiance looks at Sana and Ash as if she were pleading, but she soon discovers that both girls' eyes are locked on Red, and there are countless complex emotions in their eyes.
"I didn't see it...... Should...... The person to blame is Silas. ”
Hearing Lux's words, Tiana took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind.
She strode over to the corpse of Govin III and half-knelt on the ground.
"The subordinates derelict their duties and failed to protect His Majesty, which is really a crime that deserves death."
Then she stood up and walked over to Red's side-by-side, glancing over to the bewildered councillors.
"It's clear that Silas has bewitched our minds and murdered His Majesty Govern III—"
Then she looked at Red, and there were all sorts of elusive emotions in her deep gaze.
"And this warrior brought by Laxana is the hero who saved our Demacia!"
——
Things are going well, and Lux's aunt, Tiana Crownguard, is smarter than Red thought.
And know the current affairs.
"So I'll summarize the 'facts' that Mr. Red Douglas told us."
At the head of the throne stood Tiana, Grand Marshal of Demacia and President of Parliament, and now the undisputed center of power in the country after the death of King Gavin III.
Even the rightful heir to the throne, Gavin IV, was not qualified to argue with her until she was crowned.
"Silas had already received the orange lantern ring, which represented greed, before he was arrested by us, but he deliberately hid his strength and was handed over to the young girl by His Majesty Govin III as a felon."
"Unknowingly, the Young Lady gave him the power of the green lantern, hoping that Silas would be influenced by the light of mercy and lead Demacia on the right path, but Silas has long been covered with greed, and he has misinterpreted the meaning of mercy to hide his greed."
"Silas then pretended to have reformed and helped us fight off the enemies of Noxus...... But in the process, he took the opportunity to seize the power of the Yellow Light of Fear. ”
"And Silas, who has obtained the power of the three lantern rings, has finally torn apart his pretended mercy, and he has used the power of orange lamp ghost and blue lamp brainwashing to control us and King Jarvin III at the royal council, and is ready to usurp the supreme power of Demacia......"
At this point, Tiana paused, and she looked at Red, who was sitting on the sidelines.
Thanks to Mr. Red, Silas's evil plot was shattered, but I didn't expect Silas to jump off the wall in a hurry, and before he died, he actually did such a rebellious thing as killing the king...... That's right, right? ”
It was hard to imagine that a woman as strong as Tiana would ask a man for advice, but none of the other councillors present dared to disagree.
And Red listened to Tiana's words, and kept touching his chin and fell into deep thought.
After the information provided by Tiana and the timeline combing, Red probably understood where the timeline of this world began to change.
According to the original historical development of the Valoran continent, Sauna's adoptive father, Barrett Bouvier, was the trigger for all the contradictions, he was originally a man loyal to the country but sympathetic to the magician, as evidenced by the sponsorship of the Illuminator organization and the adoption of Sona.
However, Barrett was killed by the mage during the Battle of the Gate of Sorrows, an event that was exploited by Tiana's husband, Eldred, the leader of the Demon Seekers, as an excuse for Demacia to start a large-scale hunt for mages.
At this time, Silas secretly deceived Lux, and after escaping from prison, he caused a mage turmoil, and Gawain III died mysteriously in this incident......
That's how it should be.
But Silas didn't know when, when he came into contact with Atohitas, was transformed by blood magic, and even obtained the Orange Lantern Ring of Greed-
And here's where the big problem lies.
"Who can have access to Silas when he's in prison."
Red looked up and looked at Tiana, who pursed her lips and finally sighed.
"Based on what I just interrogated the guards...... When Silas was in custody, except for the occasional girl who came to visit him......"
Tiana's gaze glanced over Lux, who lowered her head a little uneasily.
"Only one person has the right, and indeed has come to visit him in prison many times...... During this time, no guards were allowed to stand by. ”
Tiana took a deep breath and said word by word.
"Leader of the Demon Seekers, Eldred."
All of a sudden, the councillors exploded, whispering and looking at Tiana in disbelief.
Red knew why they reacted, because Eldred was the one who single-handedly pushed Demacia to make the search more intense.
He is also Tiana's husband.
"I've just investigated, Eldred Brevor, who disappeared not long ago, and there are all sorts of clues that he may have defected to Noxus...... There is no doubt that he has a lot to do with this king-killing operation! ”
Boom!
Tiana pulled out the sword at her waist and slammed it into the floor in front of her.
"The assassination of the monarch is an indelible shame for us Demacia, and we must take revenge on all those responsible for this incident at all costs!"
Red knew he didn't need to say anything more, and sure enough, this Tiana Crownguard was very knowledgeable.
The death of Gavin III may have contributed more than the life he lived.
"I announce that the Demon Seeker Organization is immediately disbanded and put under scrutiny - all manhunts for mages are suspended. While the Forbidden Demon is the foundation of Demacia, it's clear that we now have a new common enemy! ”
——
On the top floor of the tallest tower of Castle of Dawn, Red looked at the four rings in his hand: green, orange, red, and yellow.
Although Tiana dumped all the black cauldron on her husband, who is now her ex-husband, Red knew that this Eldred was definitely not the root of all evil.
It seems that he is still careless, some time ago, when he was still engaged in base construction on Paradise Island, Atohitas and other leaders of the Lantern Regiment had begun to wander around across dimensions, and left the Lantern Ring everywhere to make trouble.
The question is, what exactly are they doing this? Especially the orange lantern, this greedy lantern army is supposed to have no desire to expand, and those who wear orange lanterns wish that only they have this power.
But in any case, since this universe also has emotional power and color light scuffle, it is very likely that this universe will also be affected by the darkest night at that time, no wonder Superman said that this universe cannot be ignored......
"Can you talk to me?"
A calm and calm voice came from behind him, and it didn't take time for Red to know who it was.
"Of course, I'm here just to talk to you, otherwise I'd have left for my next destination."
Red turned around and saw the tall Tiana, but now instead of the majestic armor, she wore a looming tulle dress.
I have to say that the genes of the crown guard family are indeed excellent, Galen and Lux are both standard handsome men and beauties, and although Tiana is in her thirties, the years have not reduced her beauty, but only increased her charm.
"Do you have to leave so soon? I think you can stay in Demacia for a while longer and experience the Demacian terroir that you have saved...... Gift. ”
Red understood what Tiana was hinting at, now that Gavin III had died, Tiana was temporarily in control, but now the situation in Demacia was surging and was already very unstable.
The first is the forces of Gavin IV, Silas deliberately sent them out to face Red, so that Gavin III was negligent around him and gave him a chance to control it, as far as the result is concerned, they were seriously injured by Rader and will not be able to ascend the throne for a while.
And it seems that Tiana doesn't want to be crowned so soon.
However, Tiana also has a stain on her own body because of her ex-husband's treason, so she wants to get an alliance to ensure the political stability of Demacia......
Red, who is extremely strong, is naturally the best target.
It stands to reason that there is no reason not to eat the meat delivered to your mouth - but although it is not much, Red still has a bottom line, and the matter of the overlord meal is still embarrassing.
"I'm sorry, Lady Tiana, my time is too short, and I appreciate your kindness...... If you need a partner, I have a more recommended target - did you know that Freljord in the north has changed a bit recently, and the two tribes that were originally facing each other, Winterclaw and Alvarossa, have become allies......"
Tiana's expression was a little disappointed at first, but after hearing Red's words, she narrowed thoughtfully, and then looked at Red meaningfully.
"If I'm not mistaken, I guess this change happened after your visit, Mr. Red, right?"
Red smiled nondeniably, then said with a serious expression.
"In fact, I am here tonight primarily to remind Generalissimo Tiana of things that are inconvenient to talk about in the meeting just now...... It doesn't have to happen, but it's time to plan for the darkest night! ”
Red tells Tiana about Darkest Night, in a way she understands, including the resurrection of the dead, the fact that Nightshade has memories but no real personality, and the weaknesses of the Blacklight Zombies.
Tiana stroked the blonde hair around her ear, memorized Red's words very carefully, and nodded slightly.
"I see, if it is as you say, it is undoubtedly Demacia...... Even the threat to the entire Valoran continent will probably be even more terrifying than the legions of the dead that spread out of the Shadow Isle in ancient legends - I see, I'll be ready for this. ”
Red didn't expect that the world would be able to kill the Black Lantern Legion in case it happened to be a dark night, but at least if he was prepared, he could greatly reduce the casualties, and thank God not to become a Black Lantern zombie production workshop.
"In that case, I'm going to talk to Miss Ash about alliances and trade......
Tiana stood up, but before leaving, she walked up to Red, leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"However, you, as a 'big hero', are still my primary alliance target...... When you come to Demacia next time, I or Laxana will definitely entertain you, so stay tuned. ”
