Demacia, the royal capital.

Magnificent square.

As night came, the square was brightly lit and overcrowded, and a few high-powered electric lights illuminated the huge square as bright as day.

And in the square, there are constant voices of discussion everywhere.

Even if it was overcrowded, there was still a steady stream of people from all over the royal capital.

Usually so many people gather here, usually there is something big to announce.

A magnificent statue stands at the other end of the square, and countless people have witnessed him speak and soar.

It is none other than the Colossus of Justice - Galio!

A colossus with a long history, but still alive, even just standing there, can give people a lot of shock.

Galio looked down at the crowd in the grand square, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen so many Demacian figures.

These are the people he wants to protect, and he has successfully protected them today, Galio has a smile on his face.

The magic of Lux was running through her body, and her eyelids were about to close as if they were fighting.

But even before he fell asleep, Galio wanted to take one last look at them.

At the other end of the spectrum were a group of mages led by Silas, numbering in the thousands, waiting silently, ignoring the gazes cast by them.

"Why are these mages still there?"

"What is the king going to announce?"

"It must be about the rebellion of the mages today."

"Not only that, but some of them are about demon seekers."

"You'll find out later."

In the midst of such repeated discussions, several thunderous drums resounded, echoing in the sky above the grand square.

The voices on the field unconsciously quieted down, and everyone raised their heads and looked towards the front.

On the open-air roof of the castle at the front, King Jiawen III was dressed in a grand manner, wearing a crown and holding the king's scepter, and slowly walked out with a serious face, facing the public.

He looked at the eagerly awaited faces, and said in a deep voice: "I summoned you here to explain today's events to everyone. ”

"The mage started a rebellion, but the cause of the incident was not because of the mage."

"Here, I solemnly announce one thing to the people of the whole country."

"From this day onwards, on the 7th of March, 679 A.D., all the mages of Demacia are officially pardoned."

"From now on, mages can live a normal life in Demacia like everyone else!"

"At the same time, I announce that from today onwards, the Demon Seeker will be officially abolished!"

Jiawen III's words fell, and an uproar suddenly rang out in the audience.

On the other side, behind Silas, the mages unconsciously raised their staffs and cheered.

Silas's eyes flickered, and finally calmed down, and his released fist clenched unconsciously and released again.

The king did not break his promise, he did pardon all the mages, and also deposed the demon seekers.

His fifteen years of darkness ended in such an end.

Is this what he wants?

This is what he wants.

However, at this moment, Silas suddenly had a feeling that he had lost his purpose in life.

He had thought that he would set off an unprecedented betrayal, a face-to-face, equal negotiation with the king of Demacia, and finally the king had to pardon the mage.

However, it seems that many steps have been omitted in the middle, and it has gone straight to the last step.

From what he saw this afternoon, he also learned that the matter of banning demons was indeed not to blame on the head of Jiawen III.

Now that he's out of that cage, what should he do in the future?

Confused, like most people who stop at a fork in the road of life, Silas felt extremely lost.

And in the audience, the matter of pardoning all mages and abolishing demon seekers has ignited the audience, and the boiling discussion cannot be stopped at all.

At this moment, there was a buzz of "bell~", a bell rang, and the audience suddenly returned to silence.

"As a king, although I know that the belated apology is not sincere at all, I still want to say sorry to the mages who Demacia hurt before."

Gavin III took off the crown, bowed solemnly, and then got up, his expression was a little sad: "It was my connivance, it was my ignorance that allowed the demon seeker to act so boldly and recklessly and do something that tarnished the justice of Demacia." I'm sorry for the mages who were hurt by the Demon Hunters. ”

In the audience, there were some people who didn't know about it, and they were still curious about what the demon seeker had done.

even made Jiawen III bow and apologize to the mages, and even directly abolished the demon seekers.

As the people who followed up at the time and knew about it began to tell, the dirty and ugly things of the secret base of the Demon Seekers were revealed.

Govin III gave enough time for the matter to spread through word of mouth.

Gavin IV and Lu Qi were already in the room behind the rooftop, both of them standing quietly, surrounded by Roy and other ministers.

With a period of time, the anger of the masses in the entire magnificent square was ignited.

Uniformly targeting the Demon Seekers, they did do something that was enough for everyone to be angry with, and as long as it was a Demacian with an upright character, it was almost intolerable.

"Bell~!"

As the bell rang again, the field fell silent again, but everyone's eyes were full of anger, telling their mood at the moment.

"I will not let go of anyone involved, the rebellion set off by the mages of the royal capital today is also plotted by Stuart, the representative of the nobility, and the leader of the demon hunter corps, Eldred. In order to consolidate the regime, he has trampled on the dignity of Debang over and over again. ”

Jiawen III said, his eyes coldened: "Here, I swear that I will not spare everyone involved. ”

As he spoke slowly, a figure was escorted up in the dawn corridor in the middle of the grand square.

Led by Hesbeth, followed by a group of demon seekers who were mainly involved, then by nobles with secret ties such as Stuart, and some people with clear incriminating evidence.

There were very many of them, each of them disgraced, hanging their heads, and was seized by two well-armed soldiers.

In front of the people of the whole king's capital, these people raised their heads without saying a word, turning their heads to avoid people's eyes.

"You brutes!"

"Sentence the thief!"

"Damn the guys!"

"I can't bear it anymore, smash them!"

At this moment, the anger of the masses is just about to have a cathartic point.

As a rotten egg flew out of the crowd first, it smashed into Hesbeth's face accurately, and in the next second, the audience exploded instantly.

Countless garbage, stones, rotten eggs, and even shoes, as long as they could be thrown away, all greeted these people.

When Lu Qi saw this scene in the room, he also sighed: "Now go down and sell eggs, you will definitely make a profit." ”

Around:"."

"I found that you don't have any eyesight."

Lux glanced at him speechlessly, "Is this the time to talk about this?" ”

Lu Qi asked, "What do you mean if you don't say this?" ”

Lux thought for a moment and glared at him, "Can't you just be honest?" ”

Lu Qi "sighed" and said: "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have thrown eggs below at this time, and these scum would be uncomfortable if they didn't throw them twice." ”

"Indeed." Lux nodded in agreement, then glanced at Luci.

An idea arose in the hearts of two people at the same time.

Without further ado, they prepared to sneak away and join the army of garbage in the square.

It's just a pity that as soon as they turned around, they saw Ogsha stopping them with a straight face: "Don't run around at this time." ”

When is this, these two goods are still just thinking about making a fuss.

At this time, if the two of them show their faces outside, I'm afraid the scene will be even more chaotic.

Today's hot discussion in the royal capital is mainly Lux, who summoned the Colossus, and Luqi, who heard that he countered the conspiracy of Stuart and others in one fell swoop.

Lucci and Lux had no choice but to return and stand there without squeaking.

Outside, the anger of the masses was enormous, the main one being that the dawn corridor was so long that even the soldiers in charge of escorting were not immune to unwarranted disasters.

Even worse were the people who had committed serious crimes in Hesbeth, who had already been smashed on their heads and bleeding, and were miserable.

But no one sympathizes with this picture.

If you want to talk about misery, none of those mages in the secret dungeon is several times worse than them.

What's more, one of these counts as one, they are all moths of Demacia, and no one is pitied.

It's just that there are not many things that can be smashed, and some people even want to throw their own children to get angry.

In the second half of the process, the things thrown away gradually decreased, and when he saw this scene, Jiawen III did not stop the whole process, and always watched calmly.

It wasn't until these people were escorted to the innermost end of the dawn corridor that the people on the field consciously quieted down.

Jiawen III said coldly: "The following people are all calamities to the country and the people, and their sins are unforgivable, and they regard the teachings of Debang as nothing, and they have defiled the noble soul of Demacia. I announce that I will be beheaded in public tomorrow at noon! ”

When the words fell, the audience suddenly burst into applause.

And those prisoners who were escorted all showed pale faces, and felt deep despair at this moment.

In fact, there are many, many more people involved in this incident than those who are showing up now.

Not to mention, this is only the royal capital, radiating to other places outside the royal capital, there must be innocent people.

It's just that these need to be cleaned up slowly, and of course it's only a matter of time before they are cleaned up.

There are so many scum in Demacia that Garvin III feels unspeakable heartache.

When he returned, he kept wondering if he was a good king.

If so, then why, such a thing, would happen under his rule?

Or rather, he's getting old now.

In short, too many things have happened today, although it has also made Jiawen III see a new future, but it has also made his heart lose a lot.

This time the bell did not ring, Jiawen III just raised his hand, and the audience fell into silence.

He turned around, looked at Jiawen IV and said, "Come up." ”

When Jiawen IV heard this, he stepped forward and appeared in the eyes of the crowd on the rooftop.

Then, seeing that Jiawen III turned back, he continued to look at the crowd, and then said in a deep voice: "From now on, I officially announce that Jiawen Guangdun IV is the next heir to the throne!" This password is never repentant and is allowed only once. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiawen IV beside him couldn't help but be stunned.

The audience also continued to be in an uproar.

Although Govin IV is the heir to the throne, it is something that many people expected and felt from the beginning.

But there is another part, before this, after seeing the performance of the second prince, he felt that he also had a chance to run for the throne.

After all, who will sit in that position in the future is still up to the third generation.

But after today, if Gavin III said this in front of everyone, it would be almost absolutely certain.

There is no suspense about who will inherit the throne.

"Father."

Govin IV came back to his senses and wanted to say something.

But again, after confirming the succession to the throne, the first thing he felt was not joy, but a heavy burden.

In fact, during this time, he thought about it a lot, he had such an excellent second brother, and he felt that Lu Qi might be more suitable to inherit the throne.

And he can lead troops to fight on the border at will.

Wouldn't the two of them, one inside and one outside, join forces and be invincible?

He didn't know that after hearing the words of the third world, Lu Qi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The throne and power are coveted by many people, but for Luqi, it is not as satisfying as a small barbecue.

When the king looks tired, just looking at his father, he deals with so many things every day, and he usually walks around the corner, and basically can't squeeze out any spare time, so don't be too sad.

If you want to let Luqi live like this, you might as well kill him altogether.

Recently, there have been some people with a lot of eyes, spreading rumors outside that he is going to snatch the heir, which makes him want to come forward to refute the rumors in person.

Well, now there will be no more rumors.

And he saw that his eldest brother was not honest, and there was always a feeling in his eyes that he would throw the throne inheritance to him, and then run out to his heart's content.

How can this make Lucci endure?

If so, wouldn't it be the other way around?

This is a no-go.

Jiawen III, looking at the complicated eyes of the fourth world, said softly: "I know what you mean, but this decision has been carefully considered by me. Both of you brothers have the talent to inherit the throne, but you are better suited for this position. ”

Lu Qi naturally showed extraordinary talent during this time, and if it was to be said that he would inherit the throne, he would definitely be qualified.

But to put it bluntly, Jiawen III thought of this thing's usual laziness and always unserious personality, so he still didn't feel at ease to hand over the position to him.

I'm afraid that if this guy sits on the throne, he will spend all his work.

At that time, there will be no way to get it back.

In contrast, it is obvious that the more stable character of Jiawen IV is more suitable.

Secondly, there is another point, today's sudden and solemn announcement is also Jiawen III's desire to put an end to the rumors that are spreading outside.

From then on, he wanted the whole country to be united.

There are so many lessons to be learned in one day today.
