【0426】 Xiongdu (1/5)
At the right time, at the right place, and in the right way, Jax followed in the footsteps of Jarvan IV and entered the capital of Demacia.
This is the importance of Jax - if Yasuo takes the initiative to do something like this, the Demacians will not think twice about it. Instead, Jax, a "reckless man", will attack the Demacian nobles who are ready to take action.
Say, it's more like an object that can be exploited.
……………………
Just as Xin Zhao promised before, Jax, Lucian and Senna were settled in Xiongdu City as envoys. Regarding these three people, the representatives of the noble councils also had their own ideas.
In front of the long white marble table, the six members of the noble council stood in hexagonal positions according to ancient tradition - other families who were not qualified to stand in front of the long table sat far away on stone chairs in the hall.
Go up and wait silently to vote.
Light Shield, Crown Guard, Udo, Durang, Cook, Hummer, six families, six powers.
Lightshield is the royal family, Crownguard is the loyal ally of the royal family, Udu is a dark-skinned southern family, Durang is the oldest technical family in Demacia, Cook is the lord of Owendale, and Hummer is the most recent member of the royal family.
A rising star in the capital of Demacia for ten years.
Jarvan III was the first person to talk about Jax - after summarizing the Battle of Trivel and agreeing on the rewards, he said as if he didn't care much: "I heard that the Shadow Island
The problem over there has been solved, there will no longer be soul-eating nights at the beach, it seems we have another friend..."
Unfortunately, such an understatement could not let this matter go away. Just when Jarvan III wanted to say, "We may need to discuss new diplomatic issues," the patriarch of the Humer family who usually remained silent suddenly suddenly
Open your mouth.
"Your Majesty, the disappearance of Soul-eating Night is certainly good news, but we still need to maintain the necessary vigilance."
When Jarvan III heard this, his face was calm, but he sighed silently in his heart - the Humer family is a business family, and they have been quite ambitious recently. Although in the noble council, they almost never discuss major issues.
They are unconventional and seem to be easy to talk to, but they are extremely serious in many details.
On the one hand, this sincerity has earned them the title of "strict family tradition", and on the other hand, it has also given them a lot of invisible influence.
The speaker was Tucker Humer. His three sons are all very capable - the eldest is serving in the army and is stationed at Green Teeth Peak; the second is out for activities all year round and has made great contributions to Demacia's foreign trade;
The youngest, Lao San, is a rising duel star in Xiongdu.
According to the tradition of Demacia, these three guys are qualified to compete for the position of the next king of Demacia.
But for the Hummer family? Jarvan III is not worried - what if the achievements of his three children are attributed to the same person? Maybe Jarvan IV's status will really be shaken, but what a pity? They are three people.
What really made Jarvan III secretly sigh was this guy's ally? Lord Owendale who had always remained calm? Bonar Cook.
This hawkish old man is not easy to talk to!
Sure enough? Before Tucker finished speaking, Bona spoke carelessly as if he really didn't know anything.
"What's wrong?" Bona, who was tall and seemed to have Northern blood, looked like he didn't know anything. "The Night of Soul Erosion is gone? That's good news? Whoever it is? The Night of Soul Erosion has been eliminated.
For all the trouble, I’ll give him a toast!”
The gray-haired Bona habitually raised his voice as if he was really going to toast, and even exposed his back molars.
Seeing this scene? The nobles sitting in the back row began to talk one after another, and most of the content of the discussion was about "barbarians who have disgraced the nobles"... After all? Owendale is originally from Demacia.
On the border, the people of Owendale have been regarded as vulgar people for a long time.
Only Jarvan III, who silently clenched his fists, knew that this guy was just pretending to be naive, but he was actually smarter than anyone else!
While everyone was discussing, Tucker also quickly sang a double act, telling in detail what happened outside the city before - ostensibly for Bona, but actually for everyone to hear.
"What kind of thing is this!" Bona still looked indifferent, "It's all just a misunderstanding. That's what the local tax collectors are like - in the worst case, they can really fight. His Royal Highness is not willing.
Come on, I can go to a duel... Hey, something's wrong, Tucker, why are you so concerned about such a trivial matter? Do you want your third child to go to a duel? You kid has an impure mind!"
He seemed to be blaming Tucker, but after Bona's words, it turned out that Jarvan III was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage...
Anyway, Bona always looks naive, but in a few words, Jarvan III was forced into a corner, as if if Jarvan IV was not allowed to duel, the matter would not be resolved!
In this case, what else can Jarvan III say?
Originally, according to his intention, this matter should be ended in a low-key manner. After all, everything originated from a misunderstanding. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, Fuguang Island can do whatever he likes?
Who the hell cares about an island thousands of miles away?
But now it's better, a useless tax collector is causing trouble, a stubborn duelist master is taking action, but there are still people in the noble council who hope to pour cold water on Jarvan IV who has already gained momentum...
For a moment, Jarvan III really considered whether to send Xin Zhao for this duel, but after a while, he finally rejected the idea.
It's unnecessary - now that the external conflicts have almost disappeared, Jarvan IV is also quite prestigious internally, and in Jarvan III's view, now is the time to resolve some of Demacia's old ills.
Even if someone really plans to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack, the Guangdun family has been king for three generations. Is it so difficult that they are really afraid of them?
duel?
Then let's duel!
Jarvan III did not believe that the weird-looking guy who called himself Jax really came here with the intention of killing Jarvan IV!
Do you want to take the opportunity to cause trouble?
Okay, I want to see how you do it - the relationship between the three families of Light Shield, Crown Guard, and Durang is unbreakable!
Thinking of this, Jarvan III finally showed a slight smile on his face.
"Since it is a misunderstanding, then... let little Jarvan have a fight." The Demacian king showed his usual kind attitude, "Just treat it as asking the master for advice."
Seeing Jarvan III taking the initiative to lower his stance, Bona said "It's best", but he silently spat in his heart.
Chapter completed!
