Chapter 843: Night of the Knight King
Things on the witch's side began to become strange, but for Li Ke, who had been the Knight King, things were even more strange.
“This is really…”
Looking at the streets of Demacia, Li Ke couldn't help scratching his head. He understood what was going on when he was pulled back from the time node.
It's nothing more than that I need merit now and settle the cause and effect, and because my timeline is professionally suitable, I threw myself to Demacia.
But the problem is - he had connections and relationships in that world, so his major was very suitable for him in Demacia, but now, he is just an illegal resident in Demacia!
Although he had prevented the kidnapping of a little girl with magical talent with his eloquence, after a little analysis, he found that in fact, the effect would be almost the same if he sent himself at any time.
It's nothing more than a simple push, and his identity as the Knight King of Demacia is completely unimportant.
It's just that I will care more about the Demacians.
But the actual effect will not change.
It would actually be faster to let the female general over there take action. If she were given three months, she would be able to conquer the entire Noxus, and then directly lead the Noxian army to attack Demacia.
The actual effect is much better.
But the problem is, they don’t know if they have these three months, so this is the only way.
Looking at the constantly changing star power in the sky, Li Ke didn't know what was happening in the heaven of this world. He only knew that if he didn't hurry up, things would become very troublesome.
So even if he sighed, he was still ready to work.
But the whole courtyard is still full.
"Really... The problem is that in my time and world, Lux has already taken my shape, and even Sword Princess has already taken my shape, but in this world..."
Looking at the sword lady walking towards him from a distance with a sharp sword in hand, Li Ke felt overwhelmed.
The Sword Princess in this world is five or six years younger than when he made his move. And he was able to convince most Demacians to accept magicians because of his deep political assets, which was not that simple at all.
But now…
I can only fight.
Just as he sighed, Fiora, who heard that someone was obstructing the magic hunters from enforcing the law, came over. She was supposed to be in Piltover, but recently the magician forces and Noxus in the country have been restless, so she had to come back to help.
So, looking at Li Ke sitting there, she did not have too much malice, because at this critical time point, the power of any Demacian was precious.
Moreover, looking at the gorgeous armor on Li Ke, the two golden swords at his waist that shone with holiness, and his extraordinary demeanor, for a moment, she thought that a king had come here.
Even if he is not a king, he is still a rare nobleman, because just the outfit he is wearing would cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Moreover, the clothes on his body are obviously not ordinary items. They are probably some rare artifacts.
She finally understood
But this is Demacia!
She walked in front of Li Ke as gracefully as possible and looked at this man who exuded the aura of a king.
"I heard that you were quite brave in repelling and persuading the demon hunters, but have you ever thought that this violated the laws of Demacia?"
Her voice was very elegant, but Li Ke just smiled.
"Of course, but the law is to protect people, not to persecute them. I don't think there is anything wrong with a little girl who has awakened her magical talent. If she is taken away from her mother for life just because she knows magic, then this matter itself is wrong."
Because she was not the Sword Lady of his time, and their experiences meant that they were not the same person, so Li Ke was quite stern when he spoke.
"I was only protecting the people of Demacia from harm, so I don't feel like I broke any Demacia law."
Li Ke toasted the sword lady Fiona with the glass in his hand before continuing to speak. When he put down the glass, the bartender's ship model vibrated.
"Oh, so you are blaming the laws of Demacia?"
Seeing Li Ke being so polite, Fiona breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to fight with someone who was dressed so luxuriously.
Because she may not be able to bear the consequences.
After all, the Peerless Swordsman is only peerless in a circle recognized by everyone, and her sword is not yet at the level of being able to break the rules.
She was confident that she could kill Li Ke, but what would happen next? If the country behind Li Ke retaliated crazily, even though everyone would protect her on the surface, that might not be the case later.
Her family will inevitably be punished for their actions.
Her family is not the Crown Guard, nor is it Jarvan. To put it nicely, the Lawrence family is the Swordmaster family, the honor family of Demacia duels, and people who can be called Swordmasters keep appearing in the family.
But what is the reality?
They were nothing more than weapons in the hands of the nobles to attack each other.
The fact is so simple. The reason why the Lawrence family is so famous in Demacia is because they are responsible for dueling on behalf of other nobles, and they usually win without a doubt.
The political circle in Demacia is small and narrow, but for various reasons, the conflicts between them are bound to be impossible to use dishonorable means such as assassination like in Noxus.
So their way of resolving the struggle is to duel.
Either both parties do it themselves, or they use an agent.
The Lawrence family is the most sought-after agency family, and that is why her father fell into disgrace after poisoning her, because that was not only an insult to their family's reputation, but also an insult to the reputation of the people who hired their family.
Therefore, he had to die by the sword of the Lawrence people.
Therefore, when she dealt with nobles, especially people like Li Ke who looked extremely noble, she would make concessions as much as possible while maintaining her own dignity and style.
Now if Li Ke could give a reasonable reason, she would turn around and leave, and would never get involved in this matter again.
After all, honor is a kind of amulet.
Especially someone like her who killed her own father for the honor of her family.
"That's the truth. Laws represent authority, and authority represents responsibility. Demacia's laws should have been revised long ago. You know, Demacia was originally established to avoid the persecution of magicians. If we persecute those with magical talents in order to 'prevent them from becoming evil' and make it impossible for them to return to their families for the rest of their lives, instead of letting their families accompany them and teach them to be good, then what is the difference between us and the evil magicians who persecuted our ancestors?"
Li Ke spoke naturally, but as the king of Demacia in another world line, he knew that the so-called prevention of these people with magical talents from becoming evil was only to allow some nobles to have more rights and interests.
And it can also divert Demacia's increasingly tense situation due to the various problems caused by the overly narrow upward channel.
Generally speaking, it is not simply because the Demacians hate magic, there is a lot more to it than that.
Otherwise, the old king would not have been killed just when he wanted to change his strategy.
Moreover, in the original timeline, Jarvan IV knew very well that his father was not killed by a magician. However, after taking office, he intensified his efforts to deal with magicians, which was actually a form of self-protection.
Just like the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were easily soluble in water, many times, knowing where the problem is does not mean you can directly solve the problem. When the interests of too many people are hindered, even if everyone knows that your idea is a good one, it will ultimately not be accomplished.
But he had a reason for saying that.
First, this is indeed the problem that magicians encounter openly.
second……
Fiona looked at Li Ke's passion and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She was a little afraid at first, but now she is sure.
"Another idiot who has been brainwashed by chivalry novels."
She sighed helplessly, then stretched out her hand to Li Ke.
"Well, my honorable knight, I am here to arrest you according to the law and honor. I don't think you would want this store to be damaged because of your righteous act. After all, the law, duty, and honor all require me to arrest anyone who violates the laws of Demacia."
She looked at Li Ke and continued speaking in a respectful, but not very respectful, barely perceptible tone.
"I know you are very powerful, so could you please follow the honor of a knight and go back with us to explain? For the honor of the Lawrence family, we will treat you in a way that is worthy of your status."
Her tone was sincere, as sincere as if she was facing a king.
'Yes, that's what I need you to do.'
Looking at Fiona who treated him as an idiot, Li Ke showed a proud expression on his face.
"Of course! In the name of honor, I will explain this matter with you, because I am a knight, and a knight will not embarrass another respectable knight, especially when this respectable knight is also a respectable lady! I will not betray the spirit of chivalry!"
If it were usual, Fiona would definitely challenge the opponent to a duel, letting him know that it would be best not to treat her as a woman in his role as a swordsman.
But what can she do when faced with a guy who is obsessed with knight novels?
So she could only respond to Li Ke with an expression and tone that lacked sincerity but could not be seen.
"Yes, of course. After all, you look like an excellent knight."
So, Li Ke was put into prison as he wished.
They did give him treatment befitting his status. Not only were his weapons not taken away, they even gave him a big meal.
But what Li Ke cares about is not this matter, but——
"Sure enough, this place is exactly the same as my world and time point."
Looking at the tunnel hidden in the prison, Li Ke nodded. He knew a lot of good things when he was serving in Demacia and was the emperor.
For example, the secret passages in these towns and the locations of the strongholds where the magicians are imprisoned.
But he didn't know if it was still like this in this world, so he wanted to see if the cells in this place were still the same as he imagined, with tunnels in almost every room.
That's right, among the 406 cells in this prison, 405 of them have tunnels that lead directly to the outside world. They are also closely connected to the bunker next door where magicians are imprisoned. It is a very ancient project.
But now another problem is facing Li Ke.
Although this prison has 405 rooms with secret passages and only one room without, but -
It's the room he's in.
“This is really…”
Looking at the secret passage in the cell opposite, Li Ke was speechless. He never expected that his luck in this world would still be so weird, and all kinds of impossible things would always happen to him.
“I didn’t take a boat this time…”
Looking at the prison door that was as thick as his arm, Li Ke sighed and waved to the guard opposite.
The guard looked at Li Ke in confusion, and walked towards him with even more confusion. The moment he walked towards him, Li Ke punched him in the face.
The guard fell down. Li Ke supported his body, took the key from his waist, and immediately started to open the door for himself.
This time it was still not smooth. He tried all the keys, but none of them worked for the door of his cell.
He looked at the other guard who had already noticed something was wrong here, shook his head helplessly, and drew his sword.
"I was planning to sneak in once and then raise an army later."
But now it seems that both he and the door need a little help.
'clang'.
The door closed and Li Ke began to move his body, preparing to show off later.
He originally did not want to make it public, and was planning to use the tunnel to carry out peaceful means to rescue the children who were taken away, but now that it has been made public, it would be best to make it public all at once.
Otherwise it will be very troublesome.
After all, he wasn't a welder and couldn't weld the door shut.
But just as he was about to leave, a broken-winged angel emitting dark energy but inexplicably with a kind heart appeared at the stairs with a key in his hand.
"I think you need this..."
The winged angel looked at the guards knocked down by Li Ke and the cell door that was cut off, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Li Ke looked at the guards on the ground, and the one who was obviously Morgana, that is, Mona, Ganyu, Diona... No, it was a fallen angel, the sister of the angel Kayle, a broken-winged angel who chose to tolerate the sins of mankind.
After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the severed cell door on the ground and asked his question.
“Can you weld?”
