Chapter 263: It's a great pleasure!
Today, the Greystone has become a signature feature of the Demon Seekers, and each Demon Finder wears a Grey Stone on their chest.
However, in recent years, such research and development has hardly appeared.
It's like you've hit a bottleneck.
People have the impression that the group of demon seekers does seem to have no new changes for a while.
"Yes."
After listening to Eldred's answer, Gavin III's expression remained unchanged and continued to ask, "How many people are there in the Forbidden Demon Legion now?" ”
Eldred lowered his head slightly, and replied without thinking: "Back to Your Majesty, there are a total of 2,486 people in the Forbidden Demon Legion. ”
The Forbidden Demon is not a particularly large organization in its own right, and its prestige has been enhanced by the methods used against mages in previous years.
Just like the dreadnought, what you want is not the number, but the essence.
But in fact, if you look closely, more than 2,400 people are not a minority.
They are scattered all over Demacia, engaged in the operation of banning demons, and give the mages little room to breathe.
When Jiawen III heard this, he said in a calm voice: "I cut half of the fee of the Forbidden Demon Legion last time, and it is conceivable that the treatment of more than 2,400 people has also been downgraded. Now that the situation at home and abroad is stable, I don't think there is a need for so many people to compete for the remaining half of the tour fee. From today onwards, the Forbidden Demon will return to the past, dismiss half of their manpower, and distribute them to other regiments, so that the regimental fees and salaries will return to their previous level and there will be no need to waste so many human resources. ”
The calm voice fell, but it suddenly caused an uproar in the conference hall.
Even Eldred couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, his eyes glinting.
The treatment of the demon seeker has indeed been restored, but the price is directly half of the people.
So there is only half of the tour price left, which is just right.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the third world is preparing to cut down the demon searcher.
In the last cult incident, the demon searchers did not do well, and they should have been cut.
But this time, there is no reason, it is a knife when it comes up.
This knife can be described as a big cut.
But to say the reason. Many people present thought of it at the same time, and it seemed that there was only one reason.
Looking at the expressions of many ministers who wanted to speak and stopped, Jiawen III's unangry and arrogant eyes released a momentum, calmed the field, and said lightly: "If you arrange it as soon as possible, you will quickly disperse half of the dismissed manpower to the rest of the corps, Roy, Giovanni, and you two will cooperate with the commander of the Demon Hunter Corps in this matter." ”
Roy and Giovanni replied in unison, "Obey." ”
Seeing Eldred's silence, Gavin III looked at him, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
Eldred bowed his head, bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, no." The minister will carry it out. ”
People could hear that there was a firmness in the words of Jarvin III, and they immediately understood that no matter what they said, it would be useless.
This time is different from the last time when he pardoned the mage, and Jiawen III naturally still has the right to mobilize the personnel actions of the demon seekers.
Jiawen III glanced around the audience at this time, then stood up and said lightly: "Since there is nothing to do, then this meeting is over, let's adjourn." ”
This sentence completely cut off the thoughts of some ministers who wanted to say something more.
At the end of the meeting, the ministers dispersed, some of them walking in groups, and their mouths were still talking about the meeting just now.
Some of them were alone, like Eldred, and left without saying a word.
Luci also walked outward, and when he left the palace, he saw Eldred turn over his horse, and then wave his whip and ride away.
This man always gave him the feeling that whatever he said was hidden in his stomach and said to himself.
Or rather, hide it deeply.
This wave of forbidden demons ushered in an epic weakening, which is enough to show that the idea of pardoning the mage was not broken at the beginning.
Now, action has begun.
If the ban on mages is to be lifted, then the first thing to arrange must be the demon hunter.
It's just that naturally you can't directly cut down the demon seeker with a single knife.
Sitting in the carriage, it suddenly occurred to Lu Qi that when he deducted half of the fee for the Demon Finder last time, the third generation might have already had this idea.
It's just that I haven't found a suitable reason for this, so I just caught up with it.
The more you think about it, the more likely it is.
After all this time, Luch naturally knew that his father was a visionary king.
So it could be seen earlier that the matter of banning demons was harmful to Demacia and not beneficial.
Feeling the bumps of the carriage, Lu Qi thought for a moment and said loudly, "Take a look at the prison by the way." ”
"Yes."
Yuna responded from outside.
Half an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the prison.
After getting out of the carriage and walking smoothly into the prison, Luki saw Silas running smoothly on the runway.
Now his physical strength seems to be getting better and better, and running in circles is no longer difficult for him.
With the food that is not particularly rich in prison, it is enough to get to the point where it is now, which is enough to show that Silas is extremely talented.
This time Lucci didn't come closer, just glanced at it from a distance, and then turned away.
Even if you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to talk a few words, so why bother to be bored.
When you're in a better mood one day, you'll have a look.
On the runway, Silas seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked back, but only saw the empty road, not the human figure.
He didn't think much of it and kept running.
I always feel that for a while, the prince has not been here again.
Looking up slightly and looking at the blue sky, Silas realized that he had unconsciously run from autumn to spring.
It's been half a year since I did.
Although he can often look up at this sky, for him, it is nothing more than a bigger cage.
He never even set foot in the prison.
I don't know when the day of freedom will come.
In the living room of the Luci Mansion.
"So, Uncle Gavin directly abolished half of the Demon Hunters?"
On the sofa, Lux sat on it, her eyes full of surprise.
"It can't be said that it was abolished, but it was arranged to go to other places."
Lu Qi took a sip of tea.
"So what's the difference between this and scrapping?" Lux was in a very happy mood all of a sudden, and was very happy: "Great, I've seen these demon seekers unpleasant for a long time." ”
When she was a child, the Demon Seeker was simply her psychological shadow.
Put on a broken mask, go to that station, and scare whom.
It's a joy to get such an encounter now!
Miss Crown, who was in a good mood, directly showed off the ice cream, but the result was that the frozen brain melon seeds hurt, which is happy and sad.
The Forbidden Demon is in Demacia, but in fact, it is not welcomed by many people.
Now this knife, presumably many people are also happy to see it.
Hearing this, Caterina couldn't help but say, "I've always been curious, why did Demacia ban demons?" ”
Mages themselves are the darlings of the Land of Runeterra.
Why do the opposite?
For example, in Noxus, the treatment of a mage is extremely high, especially the kind of mage with special talents.
Even if he doesn't have to do anything, he can walk a lot less and easily sit in the position that others dream of.
And such a mage, in Demacia, can only be reduced to a prisoner.
"Who knows? It is said that it was a shelter without magic that was built to escape the rune war of the year. ”
Lu Qi replied casually, "So it got worse and worse, and later, the mage became everyone's enemy." ”
Caterina wondered, "What's the point of doing that?" It was not only Demacia that was affected by the Rune War, but many places were also affected, but they did not strictly prohibit magic. In other words, magic may be a means of fighting rune warfare. Secondly, can anyone in the beginning guarantee that his descendants will not be a mage? ”
This is the Land of Runeterra, a magical continent.
Two people who don't have magic will give birth to people who have magical talents.
These people are inevitably their descendants.
So what's the point of such endless suppression and prohibition?
In Katarina's view, this is no different from being cocooned and asking for hardships.
After hearing this, Lux, who had recovered at this time, immediately nodded his head: "I support your opinion!" ”
"You don't talk much."
Luki drank tea, glanced at Caterina with a smile, and said, "How did Demacia embark on the path of forbidden demons, I'm afraid no one knows about it for so long. Maybe someone really knows, but they don't say it easily, maybe somewhere, there is a witness to the times. ”
It has been almost 700 years since the founding of Demacia, and who knows what happened 700 years ago.
During this period, history has been edited by countless people, and finally presented in front of people's eyes with such a history.
And among them, the history that is buried and buried, except for those silent witnesses, who can know.
When Caterina heard this, she also quieted down and drank hot tea.
I can't help but think that it's actually good to ban demons like this.
After all, Noxus has always dealt with such Demacia, and even so, it is already difficult to deal with.
It is difficult to imagine what Demacia would develop into if one day the forbidden demon restrictions were lifted.
Lux then had an idea, "Isn't it okay to ask Bobby?" ”
The reason why this girl suddenly thought of Poppy was that the latter often blew some bulls that were not boundary, such as knowing the previous king Oron, who had slaughtered demons with Oron, and knew many famous figures in history, such as Duran.
But everyone took this as a child's joke and never took it seriously.
It's just that at this time, Lux suddenly wondered what Poppy would say this time.
Although she didn't believe it, she still liked Bobby's wonderful imagination.
So, she stood up and found Bobby, who was lying on a round table in the garden with her limbs open, basking in the sun.
Bobby, who was pushed awake, rubbed his sleepy eyes with a blank face: "Huh? Forbidden Demons. I don't know, it seems that there were two very powerful people arguing fiercely back then, and then that's it. ”
"Very powerful people are very noisy? How fierce is it? How did you quarrel? Who won the quarrel? How powerful? ”
Like a curious baby, Lux threw out a series of questions.
Directly asked a few more question marks on Poppy's brain, plus she was still sleepy at the moment, and replied in a daze: "I don't know, it's very powerful anyway. They got into a fight. It's all going to be colored."
Seeing that her speech was not in good order and she was sleepy, Lux also knew that she had come at the wrong time.
"Okay, you go back to sleep." So she helped Bobby to lie down again, apologetically, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." ”
"It's okay."
Poppy yawned, rolled over, and soon fell asleep again, his sleeping face very sweet, apparently continuing the sweet dream he had just had.
Lux returned to the living room and relayed Poppy's words to a few people in the room: "Tell me or not, Poppy is quite good at making up stories." ”
Kahina tilted her head and thought, "Two very powerful people fighting? Why do they have something to do with the forbidden demons when they fight? ”
Luki drank his tea and said, "Maybe they have a lot of influence, you say yes, Yuna." ”
Yuanna, who was suddenly mentioned, was slightly stunned, and then replied with an unchanged face: "It may be so." ”
"Hey, Bobby's story." Lux continued to eat ice cream: "You don't take it seriously, do you?" ”
Kahina nodded, "Yes." ”
Luki drank his tea and didn't say anything.
Of those present, he was probably the only one who knew that what Poppy said was probably not a lie.
There is no doubt that if there is anyone who is a witness to the times, Bobby is certainly one.
According to what she said, there was a fight between two very powerful people back then, and then the series of operations of banning demons began.
Who these two people were, Lu Qi also had a faint guess in his mind.
However, this was hundreds of years ago, and there is no point in thinking about it no matter how much you think about it.
When the truth should be revealed, sooner or later.
After drinking the tea in the cup, a prompt flashed in Lu Qi's mind.
[Congratulations on the host qualification breakthrough to 80 - unparalleled in the world]
The qualification broke through again, coming to the 80 mark, and at the same time, Lu Qi remembered, it seemed to be the highest level of qualification.
Unique.
In other words, his current talent is already very strong?
I opened the panel and took a look, and it was exactly 80.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Qi felt that 80 points of qualification was just a threshold that was unparalleled in the world, and it was even worse than a real genius.
is like a little golden retriever sitting on the side, in terms of talent, I am afraid it is at least above the level of 90.
What is talent, Lu Qi understands it as a college math problem, different people will have different time and solution methods.
Those who are extremely talented can see the answer at a glance.
Those who are talented and stupid may not be able to find the answer even after a few hours of solving.
This is the gap between the two, and people with various talents are caught in the middle.
Talent is ethereal, even if it breaks through to the point where it is now, it is not a particularly big surprise for Lu Qi.
Anyway, no matter how talented he is, he usually doesn't bother to leave.
By noon, he put down his teacup, sat up, and prepared to make lunch.
