The top floor of the Mage Tower.Ryan smiled and said to Six-Eyed Raven, who was standing on the windowsill:"This is a small matter and it's not worth your trip.""That girl is destined for the Empire, but I can't spare the time," Crow said calmly."You just deal with Demacia. There's still some time before Ezreal goes to the Tomb. I'll take care of it when I have time," Ryan said with a smile."Alive."Syndra, who was reading a book on the other side, suddenly uttered two words."Great!" Ryan replied without hesitation, "We've never studied dragons before.""The dragon race is involved quite a bit, but the girl's mother is an outcast." Crow's voice was calm.Ryan nodded slightly, knowing that this information came from Swain.Since Swain merged with the demon, he has acquired all of the demon's memories and learned many secrets."I've entrusted the matter I promised Darius to you. The rest, I'll take care of."" Nockmurqi has Black Rose's people, so my task is easy."Crow agreed, and seeing that the matter was settled, he spread his wings and flew away from the mage tower.After Crow left, Syndra slowly closed the book and asked, seemingly casually:"Do you need my help?""No need. Although your magic is powerful, this is your first time splitting your soul. Rest more."Ryan spoke, standing tall with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind.In an instant, the rune array enveloped him, and then he disappeared into the rune array.Seeing this, Syndra's lips curled up slightly, and she turned her gaze back to the book in her hands.The solemn and dignified Hall of Justice.The colossal statue of the Winged Protector, hundreds of meters tall, stands in the center of the temple.Compared to the bustling crowds of the past, the temple is now much more desolate.Even though the Winged Protector is controversial, many people still come and go, either to worship the statue or to seek help from the Inquisitor.Two noble girls walked in from outside the temple entrance.One of them had a long sword hanging at her waist, looking heroic and elegant like a female swordsman.The other person held a book, her beautiful and lovely face adorned with the smile of a girl next door, innocent and endearing."President." Feiao Na quickly changed her words when she saw the girl's ambiguous smile. " Miss Luxanna, you don't need to come here.""I'm just here to pay my respects to the statue of the Winged Protector. My aunt is a follower of His."Luxanna remained composed, holding her books like a young scholar on a pilgrimage.She nudged Feiao Na beside her, her face beaming with sincere blessings:Go ahead, I hope you succeed."Thanks."Feiao Na hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and walked into the temple.Today is the day she joined Inquisitor, and even with Luxanna's help, she still feels uneasy.Are you Ms. Feiao Na?The Hall of Justice is divided into a front and a back hall. The front hall is for worship, while the back hall is not only where the Inquisitor resides, but is also the dwelling place of God.Two expressionless nuns emerged from the space separating the front and back halls.Upon seeing the two women approaching, Feiao Na frowned slightly.Although the two men's eyes and expressions were peaceful, as a swordswoman with keen senses, she could feel the restrained ferocity emanating from them.These two men have probably taken many lives."Yes, that's me," Feiao Na replied."Come with me. The Inquisitor welcomes everyone, but you need to prove your sense of justice."After giving her instructions, a nun turned and led the way for Feiao Na.Following behind the nun, Feiao Na couldn't help but ask:"How can I prove that I have a sense of justice?"" No one can hide before the Winged Protector," the nun said devoutly.He is not.Before Feiao Na could finish speaking, the nun turned and looked at her.In that instant, she felt her whole body turn ice cold, as if she had brushed past death.After a long while, the nun finally looked away, and before she could even catch her breath, she heard the nun's warning:"Where justice exists, God exists!""clear!"Feiao Na composed herself and followed the nun slowly into the temple.She's starting to worry. If the Winged Protector really comes back, she doesn't know if someone with such ulterior motives can handle it.After the two had walked away, another nun walked up to Luxanna with a blank expression:" Miss Crownguard, my god wants to see you!"Luxanna was slightly surprised, but then realized something, tightened her grip on the book, and tried to keep her voice calm:"Okay, please lead the way."The reason she mentioned it to her aunt yesterday was because the spirit in the magic book told her to come here without worry.Otherwise, even if she were naive, she wouldn't have brought up the Hall of Justice at this time.The Winged Protector has upheld absolute justice for centuries, and she has no doubt about His and the Inquisitor's purity.But if Winged Protector changes, then anything can happen.In the end, however, she chose to trust the magic book's judgment, just as her aunt trusted herself.She followed the nun calmly. Instead of taking the same path as Feiao Na, the two went through another passage to the back of the temple.After walking through a bright white stone corridor, Luxanna came to a tall and imposing white stone gate.She slightly raised her head and could see the Winged Protector relief on the white stone door, which seemed to tell a story of the evil Judgment.The nun bowed respectfully several times before pushing open the door.She simply stood at the door and gestured for Luxanna to enter.Aren't you going in?As she walked forward, Luxanna couldn't help but ask.The nun lowered her head slightly, her voice flat and devoid of any emotion as she spoke:"My god sees only you.""All right."Luxanna pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little nervous, but still walked inside with the book in her arms.Judging from the current situation, the magic book was right yesterday; the Winged Protector has indeed returned.As the stone gate behind her closed, Luxanna looked around at the Angel Temple, a place she had only ever heard of in rumors.It is said that only those with a truly righteous heart can enter this place, and it is where everyone meets the Winged Protector.The main hall was decorated in an unusually simple style, even more so than her boudoir, but the grandeur and solemnity it exuded made her heart leap with excitement.The interior is supported by four massive Petricite pillars, and the surrounding walls are decorated with murals depicting the Winged Protector executing justice.The entire hall was unusually quiet, yet it also inspired a sense of solemnity.The most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the stone platform in the center of the main hall.Bright!This was Luxanna's first impression of the stone platform.A beam of strong light shone down from the dome corresponding to the stone platform, illuminating the entire hall.Located at the center of the light source, the stone platform was enveloped in intense light, making it difficult for Luxanna to open her eyes.In that beam of light, she seemed to see a figure.A figure with sacred wings on its back and a face full of holiness."come out!"A soft shout suddenly came from within the beam of light.The loud noise startled Luxanna, causing her hand to tremble involuntarily.Immediately afterwards, she felt the book in her hands wanting to break free of its grip.Remembering what the magic book had said, Luxanna slowly loosened her grip.The magic book slowly floated up, its pages turning one by one.In an instant, white light burst forth from it.Within the beam of light, Winged Protector also suddenly opened its eyes.Luxanna wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that darkness seemed to be reflected in those golden eyes.But before she could think further, the golden light and white radiance intertwined.The collision created gusts of wind, making Luxanna unsteady on her feet.She stared in disbelief at the magic book that was evenly matched with the Winged Protector, unable to believe that what she was seeing was real.Even though the Winged Protector was defeated by the Noxus, it was still a genuine god.But now this god can only hold his own against a magic book possessed by a soul.Luxanna can hardly imagine how powerful the soul in the magic book was at its peak.However, the power of the magic book also relieved her. The soul in the book was her mentor and father figure, accompanying her through countless days and nights.She believed in the magic book unconditionally; without it, she might have fallen into darkness long ago.And at this moment, she no longer doubted that there was anything wrong with the Winged Protector. When the Winged Protector's power was displayed, the light magic within her seemed to have found a home, and it rushed towards Him like madmen.Not a single mistake, not a single song, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single 6-9 book, not a single bar, take a look!If it weren't for the magic book teaching her how to control it, her magic would probably have been drained in an instant.Those who are recognized by the light are people with kind hearts.It took a long time for the collision between the two to end.The magic book seemed to have lost all its luster, and slowly floated back into Luxanna's hands.At the same time, a tired male voice appeared in her mind:She will help you.Luxanna's face lit up when she heard the familiar voice, and she nodded happily.Winged Protector returned to his usual calm, his golden eyes, devoid of emotion, gazing down as if scrutinizing Luxanna.Luxanna felt uneasy under that intensely oppressive gaze.But remembering what the magic book said, she unconsciously straightened her back."good."The two cold words uttered by the Winged Protector filled Luxanna with immense joy.Even a simple comment removed any obstacles to what she wanted to do in the future.After speaking, Winged Protector said no more, closed his eyes, and fell silent, bathed in the beam of light.Upon seeing this, Luxanna bowed to Him and slowly withdrew from the hall.As she stepped out of the temple gate, she suddenly saw the nun from before kneeling down on one knee in front of her.The nun's eyes were filled with piety and fervor, and she said in a high-pitched voice:"Your Highness, Stina is at your service.""What is this?" Luxanna was somewhat at a loss.The other person was completely different from before, and she felt that this must be related to Winged Protector's comment."By divine decree, Her Highness Luxanna will lead us in upholding justice," Sister Stina said reverently."this"Luxanna was slightly surprised to hear Stina's words.She thought the word "help" meant the Winged Protector wouldn't hinder her, but she never expected it would allow her to mobilize the power of the Inquisitor.She had never met Stina, but the name was incredibly famous.Stina, the leader of the Inquisitors, has personally vindicated countless sins. In terms of both strength and prestige, she is unparalleled in Demacia." Sister Stina, please get up quickly, I am not worthy of such a great honor."Luxanna snapped out of her daze and immediately helped Stina up.She's now wondering if the spirit in the magic book is an old acquaintance of the Winged Protector, and that their recent encounter was just a greeting.Lost in her thoughts, she listened intently as Stina described the power of the temple, the power she now possessed.Stina uttered names she had only heard of in legends and stories before, which secretly alarmed her.Inquisitor, Illuminator Order, Temple Guard.This prestigious name belongs to Demacia's most powerful group.All of these powers can be summoned by Winged Protector because of a single sentence.Like a dream, she never imagined that happiness would come so suddenly.With the power of the Inquisitor, she can now do some things she has been planning for a long time.Luxanna tightened her grip on the magic book, her heart filled with gratitude.She knew everything about herself thanks to the magic book."Your Highness, all the Inquisitors are on standby at The Capital, ready to receive your orders at any time," Stina reported solemnly."You don't need to do anything for now."After thinking for a moment, Luxanna suppressed her excitement and calmly said:"I'll go to the Searcher Army headquarters first.""Does Your Highness need any assistance? You can now enter as a member of the Illuminator Order; we have people among them as well," Stina said respectfully."No need. No one there will stop me."Luxanna's expression was complicated. Only today, after hearing Stina's story, did she realize that every member of the Illuminator Order was a sorcerer.She had been a trainee member of the Illuminator Order for a long time. Only today did she become a full member, rising to the highest position among them as a "director".The Illuminator Order is subordinate to the Hall of Justice and nominally serves the Winged Protector. Their primary duty is to appease the mages captured by the Mageseeker and to carry out appropriate measures.For example, testing the strength of magic, or discarding magic.How ironic that a mage targets other mages under the guise of eliminating all mages.In fact, the Illuminator Order had long been a gathering place for noble mages.The nobles would send their family mages here to use the power of justice to cover up the magic. Finally, they would be sent to deal with the magic.Luxanna smiled slightly at herself.In fact, her family had known about her magic for a long time, but she herself was terrified.The more she learned about Demacia, the more absurd she found her story.The real Demacia is far removed from the radiant Demacia she admires.Laws are made to improve people's lives, not to indiscriminately condemn people based on their birth.Not to mention, it was unfair from beginning to end. It favored the nobility while neglecting the commoners—how sordid!As a beneficiary of the system, Luxanna couldn't help but sigh.Her recent studies and experiences have made her accustomed to these things. She even understands that many things are necessary to make Demacia better.However, just because something should be this way doesn't mean it's right." Stina, don't let my influence Feiao Na's decision. She can get into the mission based on her own merit," Luxanna said softly.A hint of surprise flickered across Stina's expressionless face. She lowered her head slightly, her voice becoming even more respectful:"Your Highness, I will obey your will."" Stina, thank you for telling me everything today."Luxanna smiled, waved, and turned to leave the temple.With her worries gone, she could now move on to something else.Walking along the streets of The Capital, she greeted the crowds in a friendly manner, as she had been unusually active in The Capital recently and everyone remembered her.A girl with a pure heart who hopes Demacia will be a better person."I can sense the guilt in your heart."Upon hearing the voice transmitted from the soul within the magic book, Luxanna's fake smile froze slightly.She transmitted her thoughts in the way the soul of the book had given her:"Teacher, you taught me to remember this guilt and not to ignore the fact that it was wrong just because I should do it."Luxanna was very careful when mentioning the first two words. She had always regarded the other person as her most respected teacher, but she had never mentioned it before.The other person not only taught her how to control magic, but also gradually taught her to see the world from a different perspective, and taught her many ways of dealing with people.The soul in the book held a place in her heart that was even equal to that of her beloved brother."I admire you for that; you've always been a girl with light in your heart."Hearing that the teacher did not refute her, Luxanna smiled happily.But she shook her head slightly at what her teacher had said:"My magic is light, which is what I will bring to others. But I will remain in the shadows; this is my own principle."She was very clear about what she was doing.Demacia faces both powerful external enemies and internal conflicts.Perhaps her actions were outrageous, or perhaps they were hastening Demacia's demise.But she believed that all honest Demacia people thought the same way she did.Glory, justice, kindness, mutual love, and equality—this is the Demacia they envision.If such a Demacia never existed in the first place, then what's the point of maintaining a false lie?She was confident she could build a true Demacia before the Noxus attacked!Even if Demacia is defeated and her country falls, she hopes that she will die as the best version of Demacia, rather than as a country destroyed by internal strife and corruption.Thinking of this, a bright smile appeared on her face, and her eyes became even more determined.She will be Demacia's deepest darkness, and at the same time, she will bring Demacia the most brilliant light!
