Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Chapter 43 【0042】 The friendship of nobles

In the story Silas tells Ino, he "failed to prevent the tragedy from happening."

But in fact, it was Silas who killed the person - even if he was indeed manslaughter at the time.

In addition, Silas also hid part of his abilities, and these abilities have been reviewed and explored by the demon seekers. They have been dug out and appeared in the form of paper records in the report in front of Lux. among.

Silas hid the part of himself that could consume magic and harness it.

In Silas's confession, he did not admit this, and in his "entry report", his description of his abilities was relatively vague: "can see magical aura" and "can sense and contact magic". Class words.

But Silas obviously didn't know that the demon seeker had a deep understanding of the Forbidden Demon Stone - when his supervisor captured the little girl, he used the Gray Seal Forbidden Demon Stone, which is specially used to absorb magic power. , but judging from the fragments of the Forbidden Demon Stone left at the scene, the Gray Seal Forbidden Demon Stone has not failed.

In other words, it was not the little girl who killed the demon seeker and her father and then died because of her magic power.

It was Silas who came into contact with the little girl, and then the violent magic poured into his body uncontrollably, eventually causing the terrible explosion.

Judging from the results of the report, Silas probably did not do this intentionally.

It was based on this judgment that his punishment was ultimately set at life imprisonment for manslaughter.

There is nothing wrong with the judgment itself.

But behind the verdict, there are big problems!

Why would a child who committed manslaughter become a terrorist in the eyes of the public?

Lux initially thought it was because he killed the demon seeker.

However, there is another related case recorded in Silas's file - before the magic broke out, the disciplinarian who trusted him died because of a conflict.

In comparison, the nature of that conflict was even worse. Demon seekers also died, and it was an outright intentional killing, but almost no one in Demacia knew about it.

Lux, who discovered this, immediately realized something was wrong.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of her huge reputation when she was in Misilver City.

Behind this "hot event", I'm afraid it's not simple!

So, here comes the problem.

Why is Silas a hot topic?

If you think according to the nobles' thinking... Lux only found one possibility.

This was to avoid Silas saying something he shouldn't have said.

A kid who committed manslaughter, and his words were believed.

And for a notorious murderer, no one would believe his words!

Don't forget, Silas can see magic, and he is very aware of the relationship between nobles and magic - in order to ensure that he cannot leak this secret, when the wanted notice was released, he was classified as "absolutely evil" mage".

In this way, even if he says something while on the run, no one will believe it.

In this way, Silas successfully became a household name in Demacia. After he was arrested, this "household name" also saved his life. After all, according to Demacia's laws, minors will not be arrested. Sentenced to death.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Lux leaned back helplessly. This past was really too heavy. Objectively speaking, Silas was actually very innocent at the time. The main reason for this tragedy was Germany. Marcia's ban on demons is inappropriate.

But judging from Silas's current state, it seems that the long period of imprisonment has made him a lot more extreme. Lux doesn't even know if she should help him... Wait, something is wrong!

Thinking of this, Lux suddenly realized a very serious problem.

Is there any danger in Ino and Silas being "inmates"?

Silas is in prison for life, so he won't reveal those secrets, and it doesn't matter whether he lives or lives.

But that's not the case with Ino - it's entirely possible that she heard these secrets from Silas and then took them out after she was released from prison!

Lux knows the weight of those secrets!

"Karya!" Lux, who realized this, quickly sorted out the files, put them away, and hurriedly left the Demon Searcher's archives with her sword in hand, "I feel like something is wrong!"

"I just realized something was wrong, Lux, your reaction is a bit slow." Kalya sighed, "Baby, my master is very disappointed in you——"

"Now is not the time to talk nonsense!" Lux jumped a little anxiously, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

"I already said it when we were in Mithral City." Kalya said in an innocent tone, "Do you remember, 'When the conflict breaks out, you will find that everything will become crazy', you Are you ready?"

"This is too crazy!" Even though Lux thought she had seen the bottom line of the nobles many times, she still felt cold all over at this moment, "What on earth are they going to do to Ino?"

"Let's get rid of the roots." Kalya calmly gave the judgment that Lux didn't want to hear. "About this matter, I suggest you talk to your dear aunt."

"Aunt?" Lux was stunned, "What does this have to do with her - wait!"

"Think of it? The reaction is quite fast." Karya smacked her lips, "Ms. Tiana is a very decisive person - there is no simple person who can be called a model of nobility."

……………………

After hurriedly returning to Crownguard Manor, Lux asked the servants and soon saw Tiana in the study.

"Come back?" Tiana, who was reading a travel journal, raised her eyes and glanced at her niece, then gently put down the book in her hand, "Go to the Demonic Prison again?"

"What's going on with Ino?" Lux raised her head and looked directly at Tiana, "Next door to her is the infamous Silas!"

"It's a detention place for juvenile delinquents." Tiana smiled slightly, as if she didn't care, "Silas was once a juvenile delinquent - she was locked up there, it's normal."

"But Silas is not just a juvenile delinquent!" Lux tried hard to contain her impatience, "He holds many secrets about magic within the Demon Searchers!"

"Oh, you discovered this?" Tiana was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily, "It's only been half a month - my dear, you surprised me again."

surprise?

What was a surprise for Tiana was pure shock for Lux - her premonition came true, and things did develop to the worst point.

"My dear, I also agree with some of your views." Tiana saw Lux's surprise, reached out and took off her hairband, and helped her smooth Lux's long golden hair, "That little girl is called What's going on... Ino? She's a nice kid, but she's not the same person as you."

"so--"

"So friendship should be born in the right place, like you and Miss Sona - your friendship is praised by others." Tiana helped Lux ​​tidy up her frizzy hair and put on her hair again. Hoop, "Considering that you are the future of the Crown Guard family, you should not get too close to those commoners."

"...Is it just because of this?"

"I can understand your disappointment in those incompetent relatives." Patting Lux on the shoulder, Tiana said earnestly, "But among the nobles, there are also sensible people like Dili!"

"Dili is not a sensible guy!" Lux gritted his teeth, "He defected so quickly, not because his son discovered that I was not in the hotel -"

"I know that." Tiana nodded and smiled nonchalantly, "He confessed this to me - but you should understand that it actually doesn't mean anything."

"...He is no different from those bastards." Lux finally couldn't help but raise her tone, "They are just as deceitful as they are deceitful, and they are just as dirty!"

"The difference is huge. He is very discerning and very disciplined." Tiana shook her head, seemingly helpless at her niece's stubbornness, "This is his value."

Her aunt's words left Lux speechless - on the surface she was just thinking, but in her heart, there was already a storm in her heart.

Dili is no different from the fined and fearful nobles in Mithril City!

Lux can tolerate the complicated etiquette of nobles, because it is meaningless and harmless behavior at best.

She couldn't tolerate Di Li being able to escape punishment just because he obeyed the rules and stood in line - she didn't have to care about Di Li's plot against her, but she couldn't accept Di Li's promotion!

More importantly, these words came from the mouth of my most respected aunt!

"This is against justice..." Lux could only try her best to keep protesting, "How can this be done?"

"Nobles socialize with nobles, and commoners combine with commoners. This is the justice of Demacia." Tiana did not conceal her attitude. "My dear, you are too close to a little girl named Ino."

"But Ino is innocent..." Lux pursed her lips and whispered her final plea, "She doesn't know anything..."

"Judging from your performance, she already knows." Tiana shook her head, "This is Demacia's law, silly kid - at your age, many people will have emotions that they shouldn't have. In fact, , I’m glad that you just made a friend you shouldn’t make, and didn’t get too deep in love, that’s the real trouble.”

"..."

"Twelve years old is a very emotional age, and I understand it very well." Tiana looked down at the silent Lux, "So, I hope you can cut off those bonds that shouldn't be there - my dear, you are I have seen the most gifted kids, don't think about meaningless things, just relax and everything will be fine."

"..."

"The demon searchers will take care of everything." Tiana picked up the book again, "My dear, don't be sad, time will heal your pain."

Regarding the story of Silas, interested readers can read the short story "Heart of Demacia", which records the accident in detail-roughly speaking, it is the total of the demon-seeking team that Silas belongs to. There were three people, one of whom was very nice to Silas, and one who was very wary of him. In one operation, the one who was kind to him was seriously injured by the resisting mage, so they came to a farm for help, here A little girl is discovered and it ends up being a tragedy.
