LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

At the same time, the capital of Demacia, the Forbidden Demon Tower.

This towering tower made entirely of white forbidden magic stone is the most impregnable fortress and the most airtight prison in Demacia.

The mortals of Demacia view it as a bastion of peace, but the mages see it only as a hopeless purgatory.

Prisoners who enter this prison always have only two consequences:

He was beheaded and died on the execution ground, and died of physical weakness due to long-term magic exhaustion in the Forbidden Demon Tower.

"But Silas, the most dangerous mage in Demacia—"

"I can give you a third ending."

Commander Eldred of the Demon Seeker Corps was standing alone in the darkest, gloomiest, and most solidly closed cell deep in the Demon Forbidden Tower.

In front of him was a long-haired man with an unshaven beard and a vicissitudes of life whose limbs and neck were tightly bound by forbidden magic stone shackles. He was locked to the wall.

Perhaps because he had not seen the sun for many years, the man's skin looked sickly pale.

But in such a harsh environment, he was still able to maintain strong muscles and a relatively healthy body.

You must know that the prisoners in the Forbidden Demon Tower are always wearing Forbidden Demon Stone shackles that can suck them dry. A powerful mage like him needs to regularly take "Magic Transformation Powder" ground from the Forbidden Demon Stone... .

Most people can't survive more than 3 or 4 years before they die from physical weakness caused by long-term depletion of magic power.

But this mage named "Silas" has been in prison for more than ten years, but he is still vigorous and strong.

One can imagine how powerful and dangerous he is.

And this is what Eldred values.

"Silas, I want you to do something for me," Eldred said.

"You want me to do something?" Silas raised his head and stared at the well-dressed nobleman in front of him. He was also the leader of Demacia's demon hunters, the man he wanted to kill most.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous? The commander of the Demon Searcher Corps asks a mage to do something?" He sneered.

"Is it ridiculous?" Commander Eldred was unmoved at all: "Silas, you are originally from the Demon Seeker Corps, have you forgotten?"

Silas was speechless.

The Lord Commander was right. Before he committed the crime and was imprisoned, he was indeed a mage serving the Demon Seekers Corps. Strictly speaking, Eldred was still his former immediate boss.

The Demon Seeker once used his natural ability to sense magic to find and persecute his compatriots.

But this is the secret of the Demon Searcher Corps. After all, the magic seekers themselves use magic to defeat magic, which is not a nice thing to say.

"You're so embarrassed to say it." Silas mocked.

But his words were ineffective against a political animal like Eldred.

Not only did the Commander not feel ashamed, he even said proudly: "Training animals to hunt animals is an ancient skill of mankind. I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

"You?!" Silas was furious.

But it was just incompetent rage.

After calming down and looking at the dark and damp prison again, and seeing the despairingly thick walls of forbidden magic stone, Silas finally couldn't help but want to hear Eldred's words.

"What do you want me to do for you?" he asked reluctantly.

"It's simple," Eldred said. "Do what you do best, destroy."

"Destroy?" Silas didn't waste any words: "Who do you want me to attack?"

"Lux, Lux Crownguard." The Lord Commander coldly announced a name.

"Crownguard...tsk, tsk." Silas knew this prominent surname: "Commander, you have a quarrel with the Crownguard family."

"Yeah, more or less." Eldred didn't hide anything.

His relationship with the Crownguard family is actually not as close as His Majesty the King worries.

Although there is a marriage on the surface, it is actually far from an alliance.

Eldred knew very well that the Crownguard family was only worried about the growing power of the Demon Searchers in recent years, so they offered him such an olive branch to prepare an escape route for the family.

The Crown Guard family has taken sides, but they have not made it clear.

And they still stood together on both sides.

In the future, the Demon Searcher Corps will do big things, so don't expect much help from the Crownguard family.

The big thing is successful, and the Crownguard family can maintain its transcendent status in the new era through the marriage between Tiana Crownguard and him.

Even if they fail in big things, the Crownguard family can still stand strong.

In short, the Crownguard family is not an ally to him, at best it can be regarded as a good friend.

But that's enough.

Eldred was already very satisfied with the neutral and ambiguous attitude of the Crown Guard family.

However, all this changed with the proposal of the "Mage Prisoner Army" plan.

The Crownguard family wanted to organize the guilty mages into a prison army, led by Lux Crownguard, the direct descendant of their family.

And if Lux leads this army of mage prisoners to a glorious victory on the battlefield of Ionia, then when she returns home in triumph, not only will she soar into the sky...

This system of the mage prisoner army will be retained in Demacia and become a new system.

what does that mean?

This means that the power of the Demon Seekers Corps and the power to deal with mages have been divided up by the Crown Guard family since then.

You need to know whether to catch a mage, whether to expel or arrest him, whether to imprison him after arrest, whether to execute him, or whether to secretly adopt him for his own use——

The power to decide these matters used to be entirely in the hands of the Demon Seeker Corps.

Correspondingly, this power can also bring many benefits.

For example, those mages who secretly worked for the Demon Seekers after being captured, and those mages who secretly handed over ransoms to save their lives...

Even the staffing of magic-forbidden prisons and prison guards all over the country, as well as the corresponding military salaries and funds, are themselves a kind of income for the Demon Searcher Corps.

But now, the Crown Guard family wants to snatch this piece of fat away.

Commander Eldred couldn't bear it anymore.

If you endure it this time, who knows if the Crownguard family will go even further next time and work together with the Jarvan royal family to split up and deprive the Demon Seeker Corps of their power step by step?

"So, I need to do something with that little girl Lux."

"I have to let everyone know that mages are dangerous. The plan of the Mage Prisoner Army will not work. Mages should be imprisoned in the prison of the Demon Searcher Corps, not in the military camp of the Crownguard family."

Eldred said without any hesitation.

Silas also understood, and he mocked: "So you need a notorious mage to help you do this dirty work."

"You want me to sneak into the mage prisoner army and start a 'riot', and kill the little girl named Lux ​​by the way, right?"

"...." Eldred smiled but said nothing.

Silas' face darkened: "Why should I help you? It sounds like the Crownguard family is the one who is more friendly to mages."

"Friendly? Haha. Silas, I heard from the guard that you don't seem to like the mage prisoner army very much." Eldred revealed his intentions of deliberately creating obstacles to negotiations and trying to bargain.

Yes, Silas didn't like the plan of the Mage Prisoner Army.

He thought that it was just the nobles who needed them to die on the battlefield for the kingdom that persecuted them, and they wanted to squeeze out the last bit of oil and blood from him and his fellow mages.

That's why Silas cursed his fellow prisoners in private. The Mage Prisoner Army was more disgusting than the Demon Seeker Corps.

"Yes, I don't like the mage prisoner army." Silas said unhappily: "But that doesn't mean that I like you, General Eldred."

"You want me to help you kill people, why?"

"I can keep you alive, I can give you freedom," Eldred said.

"I can help you quietly untie the explosive collar used to restrain you after you join the Mage Prisoner Army."

The Demon Searcher Corps had previously strongly opposed the establishment of the Mage Prisoner Army. The reason was that these mages were resentful of Demacia and would not sacrifice their lives for the kingdom even on the battlefield.

In this regard, the solution given by Miss Lux of the Crown Guard family was to install explosive collars on the mages and force them to serve Demacia.

Once this method was proposed, Commander Eldred, who had spent his whole life studying how to persecute mages, said that his future life was terrible.

While the nobles were impressed by the viciousness of this 13-year-old girl, it also made all the mages in the Forbidden Demon Tower who learned the news fearful of this future commander they had never met before.

Most people are afraid, but for a ruthless person like Silas, it is unabashed hatred and hatred.

"Silas, I don't think you are willing to wear the explosive collar invented by Miss Lux for your mage, right?"

"Hmph!" Silas expressed his hatred for Lux with a cold snort.

"Look." Eldred smiled: "You hate her, and I don't like her either. You can help me, and I can help you."

"Help me?" Silas sneered: "Commander, do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

"The entire Kingdom of Demacia is owned by your Demon Searchers. Not even a mosquito can fly out."

"If I did such dirty work for you, how could you let me leave alive?"

Lux wanted to use him as war supplies, so why not this Eldred?

He would not be stupid enough to risk his own life to help his enemy.

"I knew you would have such concerns." Eldred seemed to be prepared: "So I can promise you-"

"You don't need to take action in Demacia. Once you leave the Kingdom of Demacia and arrive in Zaun or Ionia, a place beyond the control of our Demon Searcher Corps, it won't be too late for you to take action."

"Anyway... I just need to see the mage prisoner army riot. It doesn't matter where the riot happened."

"Oh?" Silas narrowed his eyes.

This plan sounds good, but:

"If you leave Demacia before taking action, General Eldred, how can you guarantee that I will be obedient and help you create a riot and kill Miss Lux?"

Eldred smiled at the question.

He said: "Because, not only can I help you unlock the collar, I can also give you the keys to unlock the collars of other mages."

"You?" Silas had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Giving him the key gives him the opportunity to liberate his fellow mages.

And if he has the support of his fellow mages, he will have enough power. With enough power, he will...

"You would start a riot and kill Lux Crownguard, the man who enslaved you and your fellow mages—"

"You already have such ambitions, don't you?"

"Because Silas, you are a beast trapped in a prison. Once you are given the opportunity to break out of the cage, you will kill the human who trapped you as soon as possible!"

Eldred said to the point.

"..." Silas was silent.

His thoughts and character have been completely seen through by the Commander.

Yes. As long as he is given the power and the opportunity, he will definitely kill Lux Crownguard.

Even if Eldred doesn't send anyone to supervise and leave no backup, he will definitely do what the other party wants and create a shocking bloody riot in the Mage Expeditionary Force.

Because that's who he is, Silas.

He is like a ferocious tiger lying on a barren hill, hiding his minions and enduring. If he could avenge himself in his youth, he would surely stain the capital with blood.

As for whether he will talk nonsense after he survives? It doesn't matter.

People who should know can guess the truth without telling him. And even if he did, a mage-terrorist's words wouldn't count as much evidence.

Like a tube of laundry detergent. Even if the whole world knows it is laundry detergent. But as long as the power behind laundry detergent remains, it will always be a "chemical weapon." The truth means nothing.

Therefore, the Commander may really not be afraid of him leaving alive. This guy really dares to let him out.

"You made me an offer I couldn't refuse, General." Silas sighed.

But he also asked one last question: "Commander Eldred, if you release me and my fellow mages like this, you are not afraid that we will return to Demacia to find you after killing Lux Crownguard." What?"

"This..." Eldred was stunned for a moment.

Then he couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha."

"Mr. Silas, I think you don't understand at all—"

"What our Demon-Search Corps fears most is never the mages who cause trouble, but the mages who don't cause trouble."

If everyone stops throwing away garbage, the cleaners will lose their jobs.

"So don't worry. If you and your mage friends want to go back to Demacia to do some business, I'll just 'welcome you wholeheartedly'."

Silas: "..."

Looking at the sinister commander of the Demon Searchers Corps in front of him, he sighed deeply:

"You'll regret letting me out, Commander."

"Oh." Eldred was unmoved: "So, what is your answer?"

"You will see the body of Lux Crownguard." Silas said calmly: "Of course, there is also your commander's."

"That's great." Eldred showed a noble and dignified fake smile: "I'm waiting for your good news, Mr. Silas."
