Li Ke immediately realized that something was amiss. Along with the alarms of the town below, the fortress was instantly thrown into chaos. Soldiers began to run around to pass down orders. Some people in uniforms with half-covered faces quickly gathered below the fortress. If Li Ke was not mistaken, these people were the demon hunters that he had met before and had a good relationship with.
"What's going on?"
He squinted his eyes and discovered that these demon hunters were extremely nervous as if they were about to face the most terrifying thing in the world. The atmosphere was rather solemn and there was no noise. While the other guards were in a mess, these demon hunters moved quickly and nimbly and assembled into a formation in a short period of time.
"Don't tell me they're going to capture that little girl?"
Recalling the extremely strict stone rules, Li Ke's bad premonition grew stronger. He took one last look at the little girl who was at a loss by the river and ran back to the corridor. He quickly ran up to Zhao Xin who was still on guard against him and asked anxiously.
"If the children of Demacia show signs of magical talent, what will happen to them?"
Zhao Xin was obviously startled by his anxiousness. But after a short silence, he still answered his question.
"If the parents voluntarily report it and the child has not released any magic, the demon hunters will think of a way to treat their illness. But if the child has released any magic on the people of Demacia and resisted … "
When Zhao Xin said this, he paused for a moment. For someone like him who had always been quiet, this was a huge emotional fluctuation. After all, to an Ionian like him, magical talent was not something that should be punished. In his hometown, there were many three-year-old children who could use the magic that they were born with. That was why he did not particularly agree with the anti-magic policy of Demacia. But since he was loyal to the King of Demacia, he naturally had to support it.
"… You'll be arrested, and after you've been treated, you'll be judged according to the law."
Zhao Xin's words made Li Ke feel a little relieved. After all, in his opinion, the little girl used magic to save people, so there shouldn't be too big of a problem. After all, the people of Demacia were all about unity, friendship, tolerance, and order. In order to save people, she used a little forbidden power and even succeeded. So, even the harshest law should be lenient towards her.
"I see."
But an ominous feeling still lingered in Li Ke's heart. At this moment, Carina suddenly came out from the room and her expression was very strange. After coming out, she first looked at Li Ke with a helpless expression, then turned her head and looked at Zhao Xin.
"The King asked me to ask what happened outside and why the alarm to summon the demon hunters suddenly sounded."
Zhao Xin looked at Li Ke, and Li Ke directly told him what he saw.
"A little girl used magic to save a friend who fell into the water and successfully rescued him."
But what Li Ke didn't expect was that Carina's expression immediately changed. She quickly put away her expression and restored her serious look. But Li Ke still saw her hand couldn't help but grasp the door frame and bite her lips. Moreover, when Karina was speaking, he also saw that the woman's lips were changing shape at the last moment. It was obvious that what she said was not what she wanted to say.
"Is that so? Then I will tell the King this news."
On the other hand, Zhao Xin tilted his head to the side, allowing a soldier to leave his post. Then, he bowed slightly to Karina.
"Please tell His Majesty the King that I have urged the leader of the demon hunters here to send the report as soon as possible."
Carina nodded, then looked at Li Ke meaningfully again and returned to the white room. Her behavior made Li Ke suspicious again. After all, when she heard about this matter, she seemed to already know the ending of this matter, and it wasn't a good ending.
"What the hell is going on?"
Li Ke couldn't help but return to the balcony. He wanted to find the little girl in the forest again, but unfortunately, the little girl seemed to have left the forest when he asked Zhao Xin. Li Ke only saw the demon hunters galloping in the town and didn't see the little girl again. His ominous premonition became even stronger because of this.
This premonition was later confirmed. He didn't have to wait for too long. He saw the demon hunters using heavy shackles to imprison the little girl and escorting her into the castle. Moreover, there were two other demon hunters who were supported behind them. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have been hit in the head. If Li Ke's guess wasn't wrong, the two of them should have been injured when they were trying to capture the little girl.
Just when he wanted to find someone to ask what was going on, he saw two demon hunters in front of him. One of them was a female, while the other was a young man. After looking at his right arm for a while, the female demon hunter bowed slightly to Li Ke.
"Dear Mr. Li Ke, please allow us to take up some of your time to discuss some matters regarding the evil magicians."
Her voice was sincere and humble, as if Li Ke wasn't a magician, but a noble instead.
"Madam, are you talking about the little girl just now? But I don't think there's anything evil about her. "
Li Ke was a little displeased. After all, the little girl was obviously trying to save her friends, but this female demon hunter described her as an 'evil magician'. But his words didn't move the female demon hunter. Instead, the young man beside her walked over and grabbed Li Ke's right arm. The female demon hunter also grabbed his arm and tried to pull him away.
"Magic is indeed evil, Mr. Li Ke! In order to capture that demonized person, two of our brave demon hunters were smashed in the head because of her! And please look at your arm — "
"Shut up!"
His words came to an end because the female Demon Hunter had used all her strength to pull him away and made him fall to the ground.
