With the participation of Zhao Xin and the forbidden giant elephant Galio, the mage rebels who broke into the Xiongdu of Demacia this time were all ambushed.

However, although the war has ended, the damage caused by the war to this city is also irreversible.

Large swaths of buildings fell under the aftermath of the collision between mages, and at the same time, they buried the bodies of unknown people.

The time outside the house gradually quieted down, and it was a long, long time before people huddled out of the room.

Cries for help, cries for help, rang out throughout the capital of Demacia, and the streets were littered with blood-stained, blind-eyed civilians.

Although Demacia's army had pacified the wounded in the first place, the effect was very small.

At the same time, inside the royal palace of Demacia.

Gavin IV stood at the top of the entire palace, looking distracted at the present appearance of Demacia Xiongdu in the distance.

Now, there was no one by his side who could accompany him, for his sole guardian had left him not long ago.

In the past, the affairs of the empire were always handled by his father, and he only needed to learn a lot from his father.

And now, his father has mysteriously left at the time of the mage rebellion, and the burden of the entire empire has completely fallen on his shoulders.

"Am I really wrong?"

Since Sivana's departure, this has been the question that has been on the minds of Gawain IV the most.

Perhaps it is only after many blows and tribulations that a person truly realizes the consequences of what he does under his impulse.

Perhaps he should really listen to Shivana, order the ban to be lifted, and take back the power of the demon searchers.

But what was he going to do with the rebellious mages?

Is it so easy to pardon a group of people who have started a rebellion?

If this is really done, will the empire really be peaceful in the future?

Standing alone on the edge of the high platform, Gavin IV took a deep breath, and he only felt his inner struggle incomparably hard.

"Do you regret it?"

Suddenly, just as Gavin IV lost his mind, a voice that was extremely unfamiliar to him suddenly sounded behind him.

“！！”

Hearing this, Gavin IV quickly turned around and looked behind him.

And at the end of his sight, Zuo Chi was holding his hands on his chest, looking at him boredly.

"Who are you, do you know where this is!" Gavin IV said in a deep voice.

He wanted to call the guards in and arrest Zuo Chi now, but he knew very well that since Zuo Chi could appear here out of thin air, he would definitely be able to leave smoothly.

Based on these, he decided to ask about Zuo Chi's origin and purpose.

Zuo Chi did not answer Jiawen IV's question, but continued to ask: "Do you regret it, do you feel that you shouldn't have continued to delegate power to the demon search group in the first place?" Do you think you should have advised your father to lift the ban sooner? ”

Zuo Chi pointed to Demacia Xiongdu in the distance as he spoke:

"See, their miserable situation. If you had lifted the ban sooner, perhaps the mages would not have launched such a large-scale rebellion, and the innocent civilians of Demacia would not have suffered; Maybe Shivana won't leave? ”

Like a mad lion that has been touched by a sore spot in his heart, Gavin IV roared in a deep voice:

"What the hell are you trying to say!"

Zuo Chi spread his hands, and his tone was noncommittal: "Why don't you take this opportunity to abolish Demacia's demon ban system?" ”

Jiawen IV's tone and eyes were still indifferent:

"Why should I listen to someone like you who came out of nowhere?"

Regarding Jiawen IV's words, Zuo Chi still didn't care: "Of course, you can not listen to me, but I believe that you yourself have seen clearly in the headquarters of the Demon Searching Group, what kind of life the mages have been living."

Now that the rebellion has begun, the rebellion of the mages will never end unless the Empire can lift the ban and live peacefully with the mages. ”

"You speak lightly!"

At this time, Jiawen IV's tone also began to loosen, although he didn't know why Zuo Chi would know that he had been to the headquarters of the Demon Searching Group, but this was also what touched him the most.

It's just that he also has a reason why he can't easily lift the ban:

"If I had so easily forgiven the rebellious mages this time, and even ordered them to be restored to their free bodies, wouldn't everyone in Demacia in the future know that there would be no punishment for rebellion? And who will obey the system of Demacia? ”

Zuo Chi sighed lightly, he naturally thought about the question that Jiawen IV said.

From the perspective of those mages, they really suffered too much, so the rebellion was naturally reasonable.

And if you stand in the perspective of Demacia and Gavin IV, they undoubtedly have to die.

This seems to return to the original question:

Change always has to die.

Either the emperor dies, or the rebels die!

Now it seems that the emperor should not be able to die, after all, if he dies, there will be too many things involved.

"I never said that those rebels could not die." Zuo Chi said softly.

"But the mage rebels who follow Silas make up only a small fraction of the group of mages in Demacia, and there are many mages who did not participate in the rebellion, and the new laws you have issued are for these mages who have not rebelled."

At this point, the expression on Gavin IV's face had softened, and the thoughts in his heart began to waver.

If you really do what Zuo Chi said, maybe everything will really be fine.

Even if he had done this earlier, as Zuo Chi said, Silas's mage rebel army would not have grown to the point where it is now.

It's just that there is one last doubt in his heart.

"But have you ever wondered what we should do to wipe out these rebels once and for all when the front line at the Gate of Sorrow is tight and Shivana is gone? Ordinary armies simply can't compete with powerful mages. ”

Jiawen IV's words fell, and he suddenly saw Zuo Chi's meaningful smile.

"I can do it for you, you can pay for it, it's definitely worth the money."

After strategizing for so long, it is finally time to solve the problem by force.

After all, this is Demacia's state affair, so Zuo Chi can't do anything with force before, he can only use stratagem to guide the development of the situation step by step.

And now, at this last step, he finally doesn't have to have any more scruples.

"Huh?"

Jiawen IV frowned, and looked at Zuo Chi standing in front of him suspiciously.

In his opinion, Zuo Chi didn't seem to have anything special except that he was stronger, more handsome, and smarter.

And their enemies are thousands of powerful mage rebels!

"Do you even know what you're talking about?"

Zuo Chi spread his hands: "Of course." And I have some things to do with Silas. ”

Now that Zuochi knew what Silas and Morten had done, it was only a matter of time before he met them again, so Zuochi didn't mind helping Gavin IV advance the process of abolishing the ban.

In this way, he can also help Lux fulfill his wish along the way.

Jiawen IV still didn't believe Zuo Chi's words, but he was the first to ask, "What do you want?" ”

Understand Zuo Chi's needs in advance, so that you can better judge the truth of what Zuo Chi said.

Zuo Chi turned his head to look at the north: "I need the two major tribes of Demacia and the northern Freljord to trade, and trade with them every year to give them some necessary materials. ”

Zuo Chi added: "I have talked to the crown guard family about this matter, but after all, it is just a small fight, not a trade between countries. ”

This time, Jiawen IV did not rush to answer Zuochi's words, but fell into silence.

It was a long time before Gavin IV said, "What can Freljord offer Demacia?" ”

"Minerals, animal skins, all sorts of messes." Zuo Chi said.

"And what do you need?" Gavin IV asked rhetorically.

Zuo Chi snapped his fingers one after another: "Warm clothes, crop seeds, coal, grain, meat, wine. I also need some workers who can smelt and forge, and preferably some forbidden magic stones. ”

Zuo Chi listed more than a dozen kinds, and directly listened to Jiawen IV's temples.

However, he was not dissatisfied with the basic living materials that Zuo Chi said.

Only the Forbidden Demon Stone he would not agree, because that was the foundation for Demacia to be able to gain a foothold in the Land of Runeterra, and it must not be exiled.

And although there was only a small variety of things that Freljord could give, Gavin IV knew very well that the minerals alone would make up for everything.

Looking at Zuo Chi, who had an indifferent face in front of him, Jiawen IV said in a deep voice after thinking for a long time:

"I can agree to your terms, but how can I tell that you are not a spy of Silas? How can I judge that you have what it takes to help Demacia wipe out the mage rebels! ”

Zuo Chi was not surprised by Jiawen IV's words, because he knew very well that this was a person's normal reaction.

Zuo Chi's gaze looked around the palace, and finally, his gaze was fixed on the huge statue made entirely of forbidden magic stones.

Unlike the self-aware, forbidden elephant of Galio, this is just a statue.

But even though it was just a statue, it was incomparably huge, five or six meters tall, and just by standing nearby, he could feel the magic in his body being absorbed by it.

"I've heard that the principle of the Forbidden Demon Stone is to absorb and store magic, and it can absorb a huge amount of magic, and generally the magic of a mage army cannot fill a forbidden demon giant elephant."

"If that's the case"

As Zuo Chi spoke, he slowly raised his hand and placed his hand on the huge Forbidden Demon Stone statue.

In the rear, Jiawen IV was also watching Zuo Chi's actions, and he was extremely curious about what Zuo Chi was going to do in front of him.

Immediately afterward, Jiawen IV saw Zuo Chi's hand lit up with various colors of light, and a violent magic fluctuation instantly flooded the entire high platform like a mountain flood and tsunami.

Because his hand was on the Forbidden Demon Stone statue, Zuo Chi's massive amount of magic began to pour into the statue, and at the same time, the huge statue suddenly began to tremble violently.

Under the infusion of Zuo Chi's magic power, the huge Forbidden Demon Stone statue actually began to shatter inch by inch, and magic beams of various colors shot out from the cracks!

In the next moment, the huge statue five or six meters high exploded, and the magic power accumulated in its body also rose directly into the sky, instantly dispersing several clouds in the sky.

The dazzling light sprinkled down, Jiawen IV's brows jumped suddenly, and he could tell from the surging magic pressure around him that Zuo Chi was definitely an incomparably powerful mage!

As for how powerful it is, Jiawen IV has not been exposed to these, so he has no idea.

However, it can be seen from the surging magic around him that Zuo Chi's strength is definitely stronger than Silas, at least Silas will definitely not be able to break the Forbidden Demon Stone.

If you cooperate with the army of Upper Demacia, you will definitely be able to exterminate the mage rebels at a certain cost!

Thinking of this, Jiawen IV let out a long sigh of relief, and the boulder in his heart could finally be put down.

He looked at Zuo Chi in front of him, and had to say that it was the appearance of the person in front of him who solved his last worries, and at the same time made him completely determined.

But then he suddenly smiled bitterly.

In the end, Demacia, who had been forbidden for hundreds of years, still had to rely on mages to tide over the difficulties.

"That's it." Garvin IV said softly.

"I will issue an imperial decree to lift the ban on demons as soon as possible, and order the dissolution of the demon search group."

Zuo Chi nodded and continued: "Actually, Your Majesty can set up an organization composed of mages, and then let these mages work for the empire, so that, just like Noxus, you can not only reasonably control the mages, but also enhance the country's combat power." ”

This time, Gavin IV's eyes lit up.

"I have a recommendation for the administrator of this institution!" Zuo Chi suddenly smiled.

"Oh?" Gavin IV asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”

Zuo Chi pouted and said, "If you want to manage the mage better, then this manager must be the same mage, and this person's status must be high enough and unwavering allegiance to Demacia." ”

"That's it."

"Lux from the Crown Guard is very good."

"Huh? Lux? This time, Govin IV's eyebrows furrowed.

However, he didn't rush to refuse Zuo Chi, but asked with a smile: "Did Your Excellency think of this step a long time ago?" ”

"I heard from Generalissimo Tiana that in Mithril City on the border, there is a powerful mage from the north who has completely activated the forbidden giant elephant Galio, and he has also befriended the two heirs of the crown guard family. If I'm not mistaken, that person must be Your Excellency, right? ”

Zuo Chi spread his hands noncommittally: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Jiawen IV glared at Zuo Chi a little angrily: "Then why didn't you identify yourself earlier?" ”

"Isn't it too late?" Zuo Chi said with a helpless smile.

"I don't think you want to involve Lux and the Crownguard, do you?"

Jiawen IV's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "Actually, you can rest assured, the Shield Family and the Crownguard Family will always be on the same side, and I will never be suspicious of the Crownguard Family, which is why the Shielding Family can rest assured that the Imperial Army will be in the hands of the Crownguard Family." ”

"As Your Excellency said, I will discuss this matter with Generalissimo Tiana later!"

Speaking of this, Zuo Chi's brows finally relaxed.

Along the way, from luring Silas to go to the headquarters of the Demon Raider to kill Eldred, to tricking Gavin IV and Sivana into going to the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Group to witness the tragic situation of the mage, and then Sivana was awakened by Silas's words and decided to leave Demacia, and finally came to the Demacian Palace to know that he was moved by emotion.

After all the ordeals, Demacia was finally able to lift the ban.

Not only did he succeed in helping Lux fulfill his wish, but he also helped Winterclaw and the Avarosa clan trade with Demacia along the way.

As for the rest.

Zuo Chi's eyes narrowed slightly, he knew that he might be about to see the power of the primordial demon other than Nila.

And this Primordial Demon is also ranked first among the top ten Primordial Demons!

Zuo Chi had to admit that it was still as refreshing as a pure battle like Shurima, and the situation on Demacia's side was too complicated.

"If we just sit and wait for Silas to come, we're going to be very passive." Just as Zuo Chi was distracted, Jiawen IV said.

Zuo Chi Wan'er smiled, then came to Jiawen IV's side and began to mumble with him.

Finally, after another moment, after Jiawen IV nodded approvingly, Zuo Chi's figure disappeared in front of him.

Now, Zuo Chi has one last thing to do.

That's a flaming dragon!

Since Demacia doesn't want it, then he, as Shurima's auxiliary general, of course has to work for the benefit of Shurima's family.

——

In the small town of Fosbyro, at this time, it is night.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, there was a fluctuation in the night sky, and two figures fell from the sky.

It's Morten and Silas!

It's just that now the appearance of this person and a demon can be said to be extremely miserable.

Silas's face was extremely pale, and blood was oozing from the piercing wound on his waist.

And Mo Teng's aura is also extremely sluggish, and even the black qi that makes up his body has become much thinner, but this is not the most eye-catching, the most eye-catching thing is that the two sharp blades on his arm are actually only one left at this time, and the blade on his left arm has been completely broken.

There was no doubt that in the previous collision with Zuo Chi Xingtie's long knife, his blade was completely cut off with just one blow.

Since it was still useful to keep Silas, Mo Teng had to save him from Zuo Chi's hands, but Mo Teng's eyes underestimated Zuo Chi's strength.

With just one blow, he was almost slashed by Zuo Chi!

If it weren't for Zuo Chi letting go of the hand holding Silas at the critical moment for some reason, the only thing he could do at that time was to give up the option of Silas.

At the same time, Silas was also looking at the Moten in front of him.

He originally thought that with the power of Moteng, he could fulfill his great vision and completely overthrow the Demacian royal family.

But now, it seems that there is still a long way off.

"Our strength is not enough!" Silas said in a deep voice.

Mo Teng didn't speak, just slowly raised his hand and felt it quietly.

Suddenly, his body shook for a moment, and then he grabbed Silas's body.

"Master, he's finally woken up, no, it's close!"

Morteng's voice became extremely muffled, and he stared at Silas: "You haven't done enough! ”

Silas snapped free of Morteng's hand: "The power you gave me is not enough for me to help you!" Not even you, that man's opponent! ”

This time, Morten didn't speak again.

Although he is a demon, he didn't expect to be a reasonable demon

Silence, long silence, Mo Teng still seems to be sensing the mysterious space that exists in the spiritual realm.

Suddenly, Morten trembled violently, and he grabbed Silas's hand once more, and said:

"Human, you have to remember that this is your life's honor, and you have to repay your master with the fear of the entire empire!"

"Are you ready for the master's great power to enter your little body?"
