LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Another week has passed quietly since Lux's secret conversation with her mother.

In the past week, the court in the capital of Demacia can be said to be very lively.

Everyone finally reached a consensus on the expedition to Ionia, and began to seize the time to prepare the personnel and materials for the expedition. However, Lady Ogesha, on behalf of the Crownguard family, submitted a bold proposal back to the kingdom, which stirred up a storm. .

Everyone was quarreling over the plan of the "Mage Prisoner Army", which even caused a heated discussion within the kingdom between the radical anti-demon faction and the moderate anti-demon faction.

(On the surface, there are no non-demonic sects in Demacia. There are only mild anti-demonic and radical anti-demonic factions.)

"The moderates represented by the Crownguard family believe that the power of mages can also be used."

"This time, after all, we are fighting thousands of miles away. Even if these criminals cause trouble on the Ionian battlefield, they will not be able to cause trouble in Demacia."

"Allowing these mages to commit crimes and perform meritorious service can also reduce the casualties of our German soldiers and retain more effective forces to deal with Noxus' increasingly crazy offensive."

Demacia Palace, beside the fountain in the garden.

The elderly King Jarvan III was introducing the recent political situation in the Demacia court to his young prince step by step.

As he got older, his body lost the strength it had in his prime. Sooner or later this kingdom will be handed over to Prince Jarvan.

But now Prince Jiawen is just a young man who has just grown up.

Therefore, the old king has paid great attention to the cultivation of the prince recently, especially in the political aspect, which Prince Jiawen is not good at.

"The above are the opinions of the Crown Guard family and the moderates."

"But Commander Eldred of the Demon Seekers Corps and the radical faction led by him are strongly opposed to this."

"They believe that, in any case, magic should never be regarded as a force driven by the Kingdom of Demacia - even in the form of the so-called 'Mage Prisoner Army'."

"Especially those mages imprisoned in the Forbidden Demon Tower. Many of them are sinners who have lost control of their magic power, or for some worse reasons, have had human lives on their hands."

"Demacia does not treat these sinners kindly."

"If these resentful mages are released, even if they are expelled to Ionia thousands of miles away, they may cause irreparable damage to the kingdom in the future."

"..."

The old king removed the views of both factions, crushed them into pieces, and explained them carefully.

Then he looked at Prince Jiawen and asked with expectant eyes: "Jiawen, what do you think?"

The prince replied almost without thinking: "I think the Crownguard family is right."

"Why?" asked the old king.

"Because Galen is my brother." The prince said, "I believe the Crownguard family is right."

Jarvan III: "..."

"Father..." Prince Jiawen, who is nine feet tall and muscular, sometimes still retains the shyness of his youth in front of his father.

He asked carefully: "Did I say something wrong?"

"Haha..." The old king smiled: "For you, it's not wrong."

Yes... with this child's current political level, perhaps it is right to believe in the Crown Guard family without any brain.

The Crown Guard has been a friend of the Lightshield family for generations, and he has also met the young man Galen. He is indeed a great young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, loyalty and courage, and is trustworthy.

If he died today, then Prince Jarvan could rely on Garen and the Crownguard family behind him.

Jarvan III thought melancholy.

"Jiawen." The old king started to think about training his successor again and asked the prince: "Then what do you think I will choose as the king between the radicals and the moderates?"

"This..." Prince Jiawen looked confused.

His father is famous for his deep city. The two factions in the court have been arguing for several days, and the old king has never expressed his position directly.

Some people may be able to guess what Jarvan III is thinking, but Prince Jarvan, who has only practiced martial arts and military strategy since he was a child, and is very partial to science, is obviously not one of such smart people.

"I guess...father, you support the radicals, right?" He finally managed to choke out an answer.

"Why?" asked the old king.

"Because, father, you have always supported Commander Eldred's policy of banning demons."

"Do I support it?" The old king only asked in a complicated tone.

"Um..." The prince was a little confused.

During the decades of Jarvan III's rule, the power of the Demonseekers has continued to expand.

The number of personnel, equipment levels, and budget funds are increasing steadily every year.

Isn’t this called support?

"No, this is not support." The old king's eyes were deep and he spoke the truth for the first time in front of the prince: "This is called losing control."

"What?!" The prince was slightly startled.

In the eyes of the young prince, the word "out of control" is an extremely dangerous accusation: "Father, are you saying that the Demon Searcher Corps... wants to rebel?"

"..." The old king was silent for a while.

He used to want to train the prince into a kingly and benevolent king, so he didn't teach him these intrigues and politics when he was a child.

But now his body is aging faster and faster, and the domestic political situation has become increasingly treacherous.

At this time, Jarvan III couldn't help but think of the latest version of "A Brief Introduction to Janna's Thoughts" sent back by Ogetha, as well as Levi's analysis of the political situation in Demacia in the article.

There were some things that even the people of Zaun, thousands of miles away, could understand. It was time for him to explain it clearly to the prince.

"Rebellion? Son, do you think the nobles are out of control only if they rebel?"

"No." The old king shook his head: "Jiawen, remember, the king's power is always directly reflected in the employment of people."

"If the people you use obey you, you are the king;"

"If they don't listen to you and want you to follow their advice, then you are a puppet."

The nobles did not need to rebel at all. They only needed to join forces to engage in "non-violent non-cooperation" to make the king compromise on many things.

The Demon Searcher Corps and the radical demon-banning forces behind it are a huge interest group with this kind of energy.

"Actually, I know that the ban on demons has gradually gone to the extreme. It's not that I don't want to relax the policy on demons to give those infected with demons a way out." The old king finally confided his true feelings in front of the prince.

He is actually not a radical at all. He also wants to relax the increasingly tightened ban on demons.

But relaxing the policy of banning demons is actually reducing the power of the Demon Searching Corps, and taking away the jobs held by that faction of nobles.

To do this requires great determination and courage.

Jarvan III had never been able to make this determination in the past, and he did not dare to take this risk.

As a result, he could only be kidnapped by the out-of-control anti-magic interest groups, which gradually expanded the power of the Demon Seeker Corps and pushed Demacia's anti-magic policy to continue to tighten.

Therefore, in the eyes of Prince Jarvan and other people who did not know the truth, he, a king who could not help himself, was actually a radical who promoted the policy of banning demons.

"But actually, I don't support such an extreme ban on demons at all."

"I even support the rational use of magic."

"What?!" Prince Jiawen was shocked again. He didn't expect that his father would say such politically incorrect things in private.

"Haha, are you surprised?" The old king smiled: "Actually, magic is very useful. Everyone already knows this."

After saying that, Jiawen III also raised the letter in his hand.

That was the letter Mrs. Ogesha sent back from Zaun a few days ago, and it was also the cause of the controversy in the court.

"Jiawen, think about it, it takes more than a month to travel from Zaun to Demacia's Light Sea, and it has only been less than 20 days since our mission arrived in Zaun."

"How do you think Ogesha's letter came back?"

"Huh?" Prince Jiawen's eyes widened in surprise.

Ogesha's letter was naturally sent back through the "special channel" of the leader.

That is, diving through Tahm's Abyss.

Through magic.

The nobles of Demacia all guessed the truth of this matter, but no one exposed it.

Because without magic, a message exchange between Demacia and Zaun would take 2 to 3 months on the road.

With this communication efficiency, how could the two sides quickly organize an "international column" and realize their cooperation strategy for the expedition to Ionia?

So at this time, the normally shrewd nobles all shut down their brains, thinking that the letters were blown back by the strong wind and were pure miraculous works of nature.

This also includes radical nobles.

Because Noxus is the common enemy of both factions, the radicals do not want to hinder the grand strategy of Noxus, which De-Zu joins hands to fight against, because of this small political correctness.

"This..." Prince Jiawen's views were refreshed once again. He gained a new understanding of Demacia's national conditions.

The old king struck while the iron was hot and asked in a test tone:

"Jiawen, back to the original question——"

"You now know which faction's point of view I will ultimately agree with on this proposal of the 'Mage Prisoner Army'?"

This question made the prince feel dizzy again.

Jarvan III has already revealed that he is leaning towards the moderates at heart.

However, due to the increasingly out-of-control radical anti-magic forces, he had been passively supporting the radicals.

So this time, will the old king choose to support the radicals or the moderates?

"Or a radical?" Prince Jiawen couldn't figure it out, so he had to try to answer.

"No..." the old king sighed slightly disappointedly: "This time I choose the moderate."

"Why?" The prince's head was shattered. He really can't understand it.

"Because of the Crown Guard family, they finally clearly aligned themselves with the moderates this time."

The Crown Guard family has always had an ambiguous attitude.

Call them radicals. The Crownguards have always been loyal to Jarvan's royal family and have never spoken out for the Demonseekers in the court.

Call them moderates. Tyana Crownguard of the Crownguard family is engaged to be engaged to Eldred, the commander of the Demon Seeker Corps.

The news of the marriage between these two families came out, and to be honest, it was just like Li Wei's malicious speculation, making it difficult for Jarvan III to sleep peacefully at night.

He even doubted whether his old friend Peter Crownguard had been a loyal minister for a long time and wanted to move up the ranks.

it's good now:

"The Crownguard family proposed a plan for a 'Mage Prisoner Army', which led to a head-on conflict with the Demon Seeker Corps."

"This is the first time they have clearly shown political opposition after confirming their marriage."

Now Jarvan III was finally relieved.

But reassurance is not enough. He would also take this opportunity to deepen the rift between the Crownguard family and the Demonseekers.

By the way, the Crownguard family's clear stance was also used to suppress the increasingly arrogant arrogance of the Demon Seeker Corps.

"So I will agree to this 'Mage Prisoner Army' plan—"

"Furthermore, as proposed by the Crown Guard family, this magical combat force, which the Demon Seeker Corps cannot tolerate, is handed over to the Crown Guard family and into the hands of Laxana Crown Guard."

"only..."

Jarvan III was not familiar with Lux.

In his impression, Lux was still a little blond girl who could only cry. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she grew into a young heroine who dared to go to the battlefield to gain qualifications at the age of 13.

You must know that Garen did not join the frontline army until he was 15 or 6 years old, and he was still getting novice experience packages such as bandits, bandits, and Freljord barbarians.

However, Lux dared to take the initiative when she was 13 or 4 years old and led a group of dangerous mages out to sea to fight against the powerful Noxus.

And her mother, Mrs. Ogesha, who had always been cautious, actually agreed.

So, this girl is so powerful?

It seems that this trip to Ionia is a luxurious training trip arranged for her by the Crownguard family.

If Lux can successfully control the powerful force of the "Mage Prisoner Army" and win in the fierce battlefield of Ionia, then she will surely soar into the sky in the future and become the most senior person in the history of Demacia. The legendary and most powerful female general.

And this probably means...

"Compared to Galen, Lux may be the next heir that the Crownguard family focuses on cultivating."

Jarvan III sighed with concern.

The Crown Guard family is not a single entity either. He trusts the Crown Guard family, but he doesn't trust everyone in the Crown Guard family.

He was very relieved that he had seen this young man named Galen since he was young. He believed that with Galen, a good brother with thick eyebrows and big eyes, as his assistant, Prince Jiawen would be able to securely sit on the throne in the future.

But if Lux is the next heir to the Crownguard family, then it’s hard to say what the Crownguard family’s attitude will be in the future.

"Jiawen, what do you think?"

"Do I need to give Lux this opportunity to go to Ionia to experience it?"

Jarvan III sought the prince's opinion. Compared with him, the king, Prince Jarvan, who has been visiting the Crownguard family every day since he was a child, should be more familiar with Lux.

"Don't worry, father!" Prince Jiawen replied confidently.

He felt that his father had so many concerns that even the Crown Guard family was wary of him.

He is different.

The prince trusted his intuition:

"Galen is my brother, Lux is my sister-"

"I will always trust them!"
