Chapter 404 You Are Surrounded by Me, Surrender Obediently
Silas was originally a child who grew up in a remote town called Biangou Town in Demacia.
Because of his extremely special abilities, after he was discovered by the Demon Searchers and brought back to the capital, he was not allowed to use a special potion to abolish the magic, and was then exiled to the Demon Abandoned Slums in a foreign country.
On the contrary, it was precisely because of his outstanding talent for detecting magic that he was selected and trained by the magic seekers. In the end, he was saved from becoming a cripple and then exiled, and served Demacia as a magic seeker.
However, Silas, who was only in his teens at the time, did not have a firm heart, and his indecision harmed himself.
During a demon search mission eight years ago, because of his hesitation, Marsino, the demon hunter who had always taken good care of him, was attacked by withering magic and was in danger.
They and another fellow demon hunter, Vanis, went to a rural farmer's family to seek help, but unexpectedly discovered that the farmer's youngest daughter was also a mage.
Because his companions failed to survive and were killed by magic, and because of his own hatred of magic, the emotional Vanis wanted to eliminate this "threat."
Out of instinct, the little girl released her magic, but most of it was absorbed by the lime seal of the Forbidden Demon of Vanis, rendering it useless.
He picked up the forbidden magic stone stick and hit the little girl on the head, enough to kill her with one blow.
Silas wanted to protect her, so he rushed over and held her in his arms, trying to block his companion's fatal blow.
However, he had no idea of his unique mage talent of being able to absorb magic.
As all the magic power in the little girl's body was absorbed by Silas, he couldn't control his power at all and exploded.
Fatal fire burst out from his hands and swept through the entire farmhouse immediately. Three living lives died in his hands, and the bodies turned into unrecognizable charcoal.
Later, Silas, who was captured during his escape, was sentenced to life imprisonment and has been locked up in the Demon Seeker's Mithril Pavilion dungeon for eight years.
Li Lin didn't quite understand why Joselas could escape from prison even though he didn't meet Lux.
Without the help of the eldest lady of the Crown Guard family, Silas would not have known the principle of "absorbing rather than suppressing magic" of the forbidden magic stone, nor would he have been able to absorb enough magic to get out of trouble.
After all, Lux can revive Galio by touching him, and as long as she stays by his side, she can always provide him with energy for action.
In addition, it was known to the family that the eldest lady of the Crown Guard secretly met with the most dangerous mage prisoner in the capital, and Silas's life sentence was changed to death penalty. Silas was touched again on the execution ground, giving him enough power to escape. of magic.
In addition, since the king's good brother Barret was killed by a mage in the original world line in order to rescue the prince, which caused him to be sad and angry, he greatly delegated power to the Demon Seeker Association and vigorously hunted down the mages in Demacia, which led to a six-year period of people's hearts. Panic.
Under the combined influence, the Demacia mage riot is a definite and major event.
But now with Li Lin's intervention, Barrett returned to the capital intact, and he also had the legendary winged protector Morgana. The king did not vigorously delegate power to let the magic seekers persecute the mages, and even had ideas Abolition of the forbidden magic book.
Logically speaking, mage riots are impossible.
But judging from the current situation, Silas has still escaped from prison, but it is not just a "coincidence" that will inevitably break out due to long-term conflicts as it was originally.
Is it Eldred...
Li Lin frowned and thought for a moment.
It had not been two days, and under the 24-hour close surveillance of invisible drones, Eldred was acting completely normal for the time being.
However, Li Lin believed that if the assassin who assassinated the king was captured alive by him, and the mage riot in front of him was solved by himself, this old fox would soon lose his temper and show his flaws.
Although Eldred is the son-in-law of the Crownguard family and is married to Grand Marshal Tiana, the Crownguard family has loyally served the Lightshield royal family for hundreds of years. It is impossible for a foreigner to sway the king's attitude towards the throne. Their trust is only limited by the fact that their external reputation may be slightly damaged.
At that time, as long as Li Lin passes the intelligence captured by the drone directly to the king, he can directly convict Eldred of treason and conspiracy, and the death penalty is inevitable.
If Barrett's investigation goes smoothly and evidence is found of the Demon Seekers' association colluding with Noxus, this organization will be completely replaced, and there will be almost no major obstacles to revising the Code of Forbidden Magic.
As for Li Lin actually using a drone to spy on the nobles?
As long as Eldred was convicted of treason, it was too late for the king to thank him, so how could he be held accountable for this fault.
The mages below have almost come out. Under the leadership of Silas, their direction is very clear. It is the eastern city where the king and the prince are, not Dawn Castle.
Li Lin narrowed his eyes, and was basically sure that the mage riot was indeed caused by an insider from within Xiongdu.
When he noticed that Silas was using magic to attack one of the two guards who was trying to stop them, he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately fell from the sky and stood in front of them.
As the scorching flame magic instantly swept across the deserted street a few meters ahead, the red firelight reflected in Silas's eyes, and most of the mages behind him cheered.
"We should let these damn lackeys have a taste of our power!"
"Burn, burn them to death!"
"Well done, Silas!"
"Down with the damn Light Shield Royal Family and liberate Demacia!"
"..."
Everyone's attention was attracted by the flames soaring into the sky, and almost no one noticed Li Lin falling from the sky into the flames.
They all thought that the guards swallowed by the magic flames would not be able to survive such a terrifying magic flame even if they were protected by rune steel plate armor.
But Silas stared at the fire that had not dissipated in front of him, frowning with a very serious expression.
He could feel that the street surrounded by flames in front of him suddenly had a huge energy that made his heart palpitate. It was more powerful than any kind of magic he had ever seen.
This energy is similar to magic, but it is very different from magic. It is like the contrast between ocean and magma. They are both liquids, but they are fundamentally different.
If he absorbed this energy without restraint, Silas thought that his body would burst in an instant.
A middle-aged man with gray hair and thin body standing next to him noticed his ugly face and asked: "Silas, what's going on?"
"It looks like we're in trouble."
Silas turned his wrist and dragged the rune steel chain behind him to his side. Dozens of mages behind him also noticed the abnormality and gathered around him.
As time passed, the flames on the street gradually disappeared, turning into magic particles and dispersing in the air.
Li Lin and two unharmed guards appeared in front of everyone again.
The mages behind Silas were in a commotion, some were cursing, some were frightened, and some were relatively calm, and turned their attention to Silas, their backbone.
"Are you okay?" Li Lin asked, his eyes fixed on the mage a few meters away without looking back.
The life in Xiongdu was relatively peaceful. The two guards never expected that the mage could escape from prison and cast such powerful magic in the city wall made of the Forbidden Demon Stone.
The two people who had survived the disaster had not yet recovered from the horror caused by the fire that almost engulfed them. They were rescued by this mysterious man wearing a strange fully enclosed armor, and they were even more shocked. .
After two seconds, one of the older guards responded stammering: "No...no..."
"If you have nothing to do, just leave quickly. Just leave this place to me."
"and you……"
"Don't worry, I can handle them."
He quickly thanked Li Lin, and the two guards hurriedly ran towards the rear.
Silas glanced at the fleeing soldiers, raised the corners of his mouth, and snorted disdainfully.
Immediately, his eyes returned to Li Lin and he looked up and down, "Who are you...or what is 伱?"
"My name is Li Lin, a mechanic." Li Lin briefly introduced himself. He was not going to talk too much nonsense to them. He continued in an indifferent tone: "You have been surrounded by me. Surrender obediently."
