Chapter 205 A mountain that cannot be moved easily

Late at night.

In the palace.

Jarvan III's bedroom.

Jarvan III, who had just finished dealing with political affairs, slowly returned to the dormitory. A servant stepped forward and gently tugged on a rope. With a "click", the whole room turned on.

"You ordered me to call you."

Then, the servant bowed slightly and retreated out of the door.

Jiawen III looked at the bright room. Even though this electric light had been installed in his dormitory a long time ago, he was still not used to it.

If I'm not used to it, it's probably because it's too bright.

Much brighter than the light of a candle.

He has always been able to accept new things. He thought of Wynward and his confident expression and guarantee that "the path of science will open up a better future for Demacia."

There was a smile on his face, and then he couldn't help but think of his little son.

It seems that since his arrival, the capital has undergone many changes.

These prosperous things did allow him to see a better future.

It was already late at night, but Jarvan III did not fall asleep. Instead, he came to the desk and sat down.

There were several newspapers on it, which were turned to the engraving pages.

He liked this print very much.

Focusing on it, the story goes that the hero was trapped in a place called the Valley of Evil.

The reason why this place is called the Valley of Evil is because of what happened many years ago.

The people who now live in the Valley of Evil are the descendants of followers who once served the evil dragon.

Because of their ancestors, they were driven to this place by humans for generations.

The conditions in the Valley of Evil are not good, but this group of descendants still survive tenaciously and are self-reliant. They no longer have contact with the outside world, and have no intention of contacting the outside world.

However, just when the brave man encountered a crisis, this group of people still appeared, and they worked with the brave man to defeat the evil dragon's men.

And shows the way for the brave.

The Hero proposes that they leave the Valley of Evil and return to the Kingdom with him.

But was rejected.

The village chief of the Valley of Evil said a word and returned to the Valley of Evil with the dead and injured tribesmen.

"The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can't move it."

Over the years, these descendants are no longer the original group of people. They live in this barren place and have helped countless people.

But in the end, it was still unacceptable.

The story stopped when the hero looked at their backs, silently clenching his fists.

"The prejudices in people's hearts are like a big mountain."

After reading it again, Jarvan III murmured to himself and looked up out of the window.

The night is so beautiful, but under this beautiful night, there are countless villagers from the Valley of Evil living.

He once tried to move the mountain, but the resistance grew stronger each time.

His eyes slowly moved to the wall and landed on a painting.

Looking at the woman smiling happily at him in the painting, Jarvan III's eyes became a little softer.

"I believe that what I did was right."

His gaze gradually became firm.

Over the years, he had wavered many times, but he never gave up.

The next day.

Lu Qi always felt like there was something pressing on him, making him almost breathless.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Sword Girl was pressing half of his body, as if she were using him as a pillow, her slender arms were placed on his neck, and a long, slender leg was bent and pressed against him. On his belly.

Her head was resting on his shoulder, her warm breath was blowing on his chin, and her face still showed a hint of fatigue even in her sleep.

There is no one else sleeping like this.

This was the first time in so many days that Luqi noticed Fiona sleeping like this.

Maybe she was really tired.

However, in fact, after one night, Lu Qi didn't find anything good.

The final result of this duel was actually a loss for both sides.

I glanced at the sky outside, it was just starting to light up.

After staring at the ceiling for a few seconds, Lu Qi found that his sleepiness was about to dissipate. He stretched out his hand and pulled the octopus off his body.

Fiona slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of sleepiness in her eyes. After taking a look at Lu Qi, she turned over, snatched the quilt away, and wrapped herself tightly.

There was obviously no intention of getting up.

At this time, a burst of cold air came over, and Lu Qi suddenly shivered, and immediately sat up and started to get dressed.

After changing his clothes, Lu Qi stood up, yawned and walked out of the room.

He walked lightly on his feet, as if he had no strength.

When she got downstairs, Yourna was already awake and adding firewood to the fireplace. The fire had just started and was not too big.

No wonder Lu Qi felt a little cold.

However, the temperature in the living room had already been raised due to the gas fireplace, and he lay on the sofa, preparing to sleep for a while.

But when he closed his eyes, he was no longer sleepy.

He simply stopped sleeping and got up and went outside.

The morning air was quite cold, and it seemed like it was going to rain outside. It was misty and very quiet.

Lu Qi really liked this early morning and calmed down unconsciously.

With nothing to do, he began to practice health-care techniques.

After a set of movements, I also sweated a little, and my body temperature also warmed up a bit, at least I didn't feel too cold.

At this time, a burst of light footsteps came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, the energetic Miss Crown Guard walked into the courtyard. When she saw Lu Qi, she couldn't help but said: "I got up very early today."

"Same for you." Lu Qi replied casually.

"Who is like you? I get up so early every day!"

Lux snorted, indicating that she didn't want to be with him.

This is true.

Recently, this guy's work and rest routine has become more and more healthy. He wakes up early in the morning and goes to sleep every day.

The reason was that she was going to the Illuminator Church in the morning and didn't want to delay it by sleeping in.

I have to say, just from this point of view.

Miss Crown Guard is still determined.

Lux asked again at this time: "Where is Fiona?"

Lu Qi replied: "I haven't woken up yet."

Lux obviously didn't think too much about the meaning of this sentence. Hearing this, he said with some pride: "Then it seems that I am the first one to come today!"

Lu Qi looked at her strangely: "Why are you competing with this?"

Lux snorted and smiled with her hands on her hips: "Because I want to be the curliest one!"

Lu Qi looked surprised at this moment. He didn't expect that such an ambition was hidden in this guy's small body.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qi said: "Then you have to thank me."

Listening to his incomprehensible words, Lux immediately said: "Thank you for what?"

"Without me, you definitely wouldn't be able to become King Juan."

Lu Qi looked at her. Without him to restrict the real King Juan, it would be difficult for this little golden retriever to achieve his ambition with his strength.

"You are the only one who puts gold on your face."

Lux rolled her eyes at this guy and walked directly into the room.

When Lu Qi finished practicing the fitness technique and returned to the living room, he saw Lux moving a small sofa and sitting near the fireplace, eating an ice cream with a comfortable look on his face.

Ice cream doesn’t go out of the market as the seasons change.

Even now, it is still one of the favorite desserts of Lux and all the girls.

I just ate it so early in the morning, so obviously this guy went to get it secretly again.

Lu Qi glanced at her: "Don't come to me if your stomach hurts later."

"Definitely not!" Lux snorted, scooping up another scoop of ice cream and putting it into her mouth, her eyes narrowed in happiness.

The Miss Crown this morning was indeed not bitten by the ice cream.

But judging from her behavior, it would definitely be a matter of time.

Lu Qi expressed that he was looking forward to that day.

Later, while he was preparing breakfast, Sona, Kashina and other girls also arrived one after another, and the yard became lively in the morning.

Soon, the girls gathered in the backyard and started their daily morning exercises.

Their voices finally woke Fiona up, and when she changed her clothes and went downstairs, Sona was the only one in the living room.

Seeing her going downstairs, Sona glanced at her. She thought of something and looked away with a blush.

In the kitchen.

Lu Qi was making breakfast when Yourna walked in and said, "Your Highness, someone came from the palace just now and asked you to go there after breakfast."

Hearing this, Lu Qi nodded: "Yes."

Generally speaking, the palace specially sent someone to call him, either if something happened or if there was some meeting to be held.

So, we had breakfast.

Lu Qi immediately got into the carriage and headed all the way to the palace.

After arriving at the palace.

Lu Qi first went to say hello to Sanshi and Tiana.

In the office, Tiana chatted: "Is it your idea to make the printing technology public?"

"Yeah." Lu Qi nodded, "Aunt, what's the problem?"

"Not really." Tiana smiled and said, "This decision is quite right. Technology can only grow faster through competition."

Yesterday, she learned that the Wangcheng Express had made public the printing press drawings.

She naturally knew that it was only a matter of time before this kind of technology would be made public.

At first, when this kid got the first-generation printing press out, Tiana only thought that all he wanted to do was make money.

However, as time passed, she suddenly realized that this boy seemed to have done a lot of things without knowing it.

The small talk continued until the meeting was about to begin.

Someone coming from the conference hall interrupted the conversation between Lu Qi and Tiana.

The two walked side by side to the conference hall.

When we arrived, almost everyone here was already here.

As Tiana sat at the octagonal table, the meeting officially began.

At the beginning of the meeting, there was still some content that made people sleepy.

It's not that these contents are all nonsense, it's just that they are quite boring to Lu Qi personally.

After all, it is not a trivial matter to discuss in this conference room.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say regarding the royal city's quick report."

At this time, on the octagonal table, Tuerte slowly raised his hand and spoke.

Jiawen III looked at him: "What's the matter?"

Lu Qi also came back to his senses at this moment and looked over.

Turte took out a newspaper, placed it on the octagonal table, and turned the content to the print page: "I support the novel print type of the Royal City Express. However, the content in this print involves Here comes the mage.”

"The artist portrayed the mage as a hero of the older generation, giving guidance to the protagonist. Although he does not appear many times, he does appear. I think this will have a bad impact."

The ministers in the conference hall began to discuss in low voices after listening to Tuart's words.

Among the people present, although there were many who opposed the Wangcheng Express Report at the beginning.

However, in fact, they did not fall behind in every issue of the Royal City Express.

Therefore, they naturally have some understanding of the content of the prints.

Jarvan III withdrew his eyes from the newspaper and asked: "Can mages only appear in a negative image?"

"Of course." Tourte immediately replied: "Since ancient times, mages have always been the enemy of Germany. Because of them, countless German people have suffered. In this print, the mages appear in a positive image. I think the artist is, Bad intentions.”

"As the enemy we want to defeat, we should always stand firm. Any content that incites people's emotions should be resolutely opposed."

"I think we should put an end to this happening as soon as possible."

"This print, to a certain extent, even caused trouble for the work of the demon searchers."

Turt kept talking, and finally looked at Eldred.

After hearing this, Eldred stood up and looked at Jarvan III: "I second my opinion. I also believe that a mage should not be promoted like this on a platform that is open to the people of the country."

In the hall, there were many ministers, all talking about this and expressing their own opinions.

After looking around, there are indeed many voices opposing this kind of printmaking.

Mages are Demacia's enemies at all times.

This kind of content that shakes our stance should be resolutely eliminated!

These voices are like layers of resistance, making neutral people no longer firm and making opposing voices gradually quieter.

"Even after so many years, you still can't tolerate a little sand in your eyes."

Facing these voices, Jarvan III suddenly smiled: "Even, they are not sand, but flesh and blood like us."

"Your Majesty, mages are different from us. Even though they are flesh and blood like us, the dangerous magic in their bodies can easily destroy everything."

Turt said with a serious face.

"This is what I'm going to say at this meeting."

Jarvan III spoke calmly at this moment: "Demacia has been a country for nearly seven hundred years. During these years, we have always firmly regarded mages as our enemies. However, after seven hundred years, when have these mages completely disappeared? ?”

"Don't you realize that mages cannot be expelled or captured? They also live on the same land as us and face life the same way."

"After today, I think we should change our way of coexisting with them."

The words fell.

The expressions of at least half of the ministers in the audience changed.

"Your Majesty cannot make such a decision!"

Turt immediately spoke out and stood firm on his position: "The inability to expel all the mages and catch them all proves that they are endless pests. It is also because of this that for the safety of millions of people in Germany, Safety is at stake, our position must not be shaken!”

At this time, another noble representative, Qiao Xi, also stood up: "I support Turt's point of view. Mages should always be our enemies. We should bear in mind the teachings of our ancestors and never be accommodating to them!"

Giovanni, the representative of the law, also spoke out: "Your Majesty, it is better to think twice before making such a decision."

Outside the octagonal table, some ministers also said: "Changing our position is equivalent to giving in to the mages, and is equivalent to being soft to them. Sooner or later, this group of people with terrible power will give us the guidance of Germany." Come disaster."

"I second the proposal!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"We must not give in to the mage!"

As more and more sounds were heard.

And Eldred, the representative of the demon seekers who should have clearly opposed it, sat there, just silent.

When it comes to mages, everyone seems to have their own position.

Among those present, there were some who remained neutral, but few.

There are some who support Jarvan III, but not many.

The rest are all in opposition.

This is a deep resistance, a mountain that cannot be easily moved.

In these years, Jarvan III has tried to change the environment of mages currently living in Germany more than once.

However, every resistance he encountered made him feel deeply powerless.

He was always the one who finally chose to give in.

This time, however, Jarvan III was not prepared to give in.

His eyes were as calm as water as he looked around the entire audience. He exuded an aura of calmness and authority, which immediately silenced the conference hall.

"I think it's you who should think twice. Demacia needs a better future, and a good future starts with change."

Jiawen III said solemnly: "Over the years, whether the mage has caused more harm to us or we have caused more harm to the mage, you should think about it carefully."

There was silence in the conference hall.

At this time, Turt continued: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral teachings of our ancestors, voting should be the main method when deciding on mages."

The ancestral precepts were a difficulty that Jiawen III had to face.

Lu Qi looked thoughtful as he listened to Turt's words, but he also remembered this matter.

When Demacia was first founded, it was to escape those terrible magics.

After the founding of the country, as the law gradually took shape, the ancestors set a rule in the face of an endless stream of mages.

That is, a centralized system should be adopted when deciding how to deal with mages.

What is centralization? It refers to the concentration of power. When more than half of the ministers vote, the other part must obey the party with more votes.

As the king of a country, Jarvan III can make the decision in many matters.

However, when it comes to mages, one has to consider the consequences of forcing one to do so.

There was no need to bring this matter to the last step. Jarvan III looked around the audience and said, "That's it for today's meeting. Let's break up."

There is no need to vote at all, because you can know the final result just by looking at the situation at the scene.

This time, Jarvan III just wanted to test their attitude.

At least, make it clear in your mind first.
