Chapter 714 Silas's New Goal

"Wow~!"

Hot water was poured into the cup, and the rising steam and the faint fragrance of tea rushed into his nose, which brought Silas, who was standing quietly, back to his senses.

"Please take a seat, Silas."

"Yes, Li Enda..."

"Call me Li En. There is no adult or no adult in this conversation."

Placing the teacup in front of Silas, Li En looked at him gently and calmly.

Facing Li En's gaze, Silas's inexplicable nervousness slowly subsided.

"How about this period of time, have you seen it clearly?"

"... ...

Yes, Mr. Lee Eun-da...”

"Can you tell me about it?"

Hearing this, Silas nodded and spoke slowly.

...

When Silas first discovered that he was "contaminated by demons" when he was young, his parents persuaded him to turn himself in to the demon hunter.

The magic hunters discovered that the boy had a gift for sensing magic, and used him to find wizards in the city-state.

It can be said that from becoming a secret tool of the demon hunters to becoming Demacia's "most dangerous wanted criminal" after the accident and being quickly arrested and imprisoned, Silas has not received any systematic education.

Perhaps his mind had improved during his fifteen years in prison, but to the end his vision and thinking remained largely at the level of a country boy who had suffered betrayal and was resentful and angry.

For some reason, without further ado, he only knew that it was Demacia that betrayed him, so he had to take revenge on the king of Demacia.

As for what he said about saving his fellow mages, maybe he really had this idea, but for Silas, who had just left the demon hunter's prison and was planning to make a big fuss, this was just a slogan to attract people and agitate the hearts of the people.

If one really had such an idea, any option would be a thousand times better than rushing directly to the Fortress of Dawn and killing the king with one's own hands, directly stimulating the conflict to the extreme.

After being convinced by Li En's "reason", during this period of time, Jarvan III did not shy away from Sylas and let him participate in any matters related to the "mage group".

In addition, as a mage, he personally implemented the "new law" in Xiongdu. Silas, whose talent and wisdom far exceeded that of ordinary people, suddenly raised his vision and pattern to a new level.

He once thought that fifteen years of imprisonment was a betrayal, but now he understood that this so-called indefinite imprisonment was the best result that the Third Life had achieved for him after balancing all parties.

After all, no matter what, two innocent people did die as a result of his impulsiveness.

And because of the special nature of his magic, many nobles wished he would die as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also understood that although Jarvan III was a king, there were many things he could not do in that position.

For example, this demon attack was just the biggest incident Silas had encountered. During this period, he sat in on Jarvan III's conference and saw with his own eyes a lot of intelligence about the 'new decree' that was insincerely obeyed.

In short, Silas now sees the true enemy, and the resentment and anger caused by the hardships he has endured have mostly dissipated.

What he really wanted to do was no longer to vent his resentment violently, but to cooperate with the king of Demacia and truly allow the mage community to walk openly on this land.

...

"Mr. Li En, I am very grateful..."

"No, Silas, this is all your own choice. It was you who gave yourself a chance.

Besides, I think your new goal is great.”

Li En stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, overlooking the entire city of Mittel.

"The 'Magic Ban' is a pain left over from the Rune Wars era in Demacia. Now the times have changed, and it's time for new changes.

Silas, those corpses in gorgeous clothes in the magic circle are just a desperate gamble of those greedy people.

The road ahead is likely to be difficult and dangerous, so be prepared."

"Of course, Mr. Li En, even if it means sacrificing my life, I will take those guys away and make sure that Demacia will no longer have shackles that bind innocent mages!"

"Well, I believe you can do it."

Li En nodded to Silas, with a faint gentle smile on his lips.

Patting him on the shoulder, Li En left the pavilion without saying a word.

Silas, who remained in the pavilion, suddenly heard the sound of some shackles breaking inside his body.

Looking back suddenly, Li En had disappeared.

...

"Hoo~!"

Looking in the direction of Mittel City, Garen let out a long breath, his brows covered with flying snow slightly wrinkled.

Several days had passed since Li En went to Mittel City. Having not received any news for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

However, he was burdened with the duty of guarding the border and was unable to go and help.

After these few days, Garen still had not had a good night's sleep, so even though Garen had finished his shift today, he was still standing on the city wall.

"Om~!"

"plum..."

Garen turned around abruptly, but the figure he saw made him stand still.

"Long time no see, old friend, do you still remember me?"

"Shua~!"

"Bang~!"

After hugging the person in front of him tightly, Garen let go of him and looked at his smiling face.

"Great, Tariq, you're still alive!"

"Of course, didn't we agree that I would come back!"

"You... completed the 'Stone Crown Punishment'!?"

"That's right, otherwise I would not be ashamed to set foot on this land again."

Looking at the old friend in front of him who exuded a transcendental temperament, Galen nodded with satisfaction.

“By the way, Li En asked me to tell you that Mitre City and General Barrett are safe and sound.

In addition, General Barrett's personal letter has been sent here, and it is expected to arrive either tonight or tomorrow."

"Hahaha~! I knew he could do it!

Come on, Tariq, let's have a good meal... Sorry, it's just hot soup!"

"Haha~! It's okay, I still remember the rules and regulations. The hot soup is just right. I haven't tasted the taste of my hometown for a long time."

One man and one star spirit walked side by side towards the kitchen, just as they had done before.

...

The situation in Mittel City has been changing rapidly in the past few days. Several members of the top noble families in the city have been arrested and imprisoned, and all their properties have been confiscated.

Although the specific reason has not been announced, anyone with a little bit of intelligence has already guessed the reason.

"Li En, I still have to escort these criminals, so I won't go with you."

Tiana looked at Li En with a flickering look in her eyes.

Li En smiled gently when he saw this. Until now, the busy Tiana had never told him the answer.

Obviously, she hasn't made up her mind yet.

Li En was not willing to force it. He would wait quietly until the other party gave an answer.

"Okay, then we'll go ahead."

"Ah."

"Hahaha~! Let's go, Li En, it's time to set off!"

Barrett, who was sitting in the driver's seat nearby, laughed and shouted.

"Here I am, uncle. Are you going to drive the car yourself?"

"That's right, I'm in a good mood today, so you can just be happy!
