When a beloved guest of the Crown Guard Family wanted to know more about the Demon Hunters, the best way was to ask the servants of the Crown Guard Family to introduce him to some Demon Hunters. On the other hand, if the esteemed guest was not only valiant and accomplished many feats within the borders of Demacia, had been persecuted by the Dark Mage himself, was generous in his spending, and had a good relationship with an old local demon hunter, it would not be too difficult for him to borrow some old judgment scrolls.
Moreover, if his words had revealed a strong intention to settle down in Demacia, then it would not be too out of line to hand over an ancient scroll that no one would read to this generous lord for a night to peruse.
After all, unless it was those that were hard to borrow in recent years, no one would care about old Demon Hunters. Moreover, Li Ke had given Miss Scarlet, who didn't look like Scarlet at all, a lot of money. Therefore, the servants that Miss Scarlet found for him were those who didn't keep their mouths shut. Although she didn't accept a single copper coin from Li Ke, but from the smile on her face, Li Ke's action had helped her obtain many benefits.
After all, those who were in the industry had to show their value and irreplaceable value. Especially the maids of the lower class nobles and wealthy merchants. They wanted more than gold coins.
"Just thinking about it gives me a headache. This method of moving unhindered in the circle is much more troublesome than two people calmly slashing at each other."
After Li Ke sent the Demon Hunters away, he quickly flipped through the files from twenty years ago that he had obtained from the Demon Hunters, looking at the verdict of the Magicians in the files. However, this method of taking advantage of the loopholes in people's hearts and using them gave him a headache. After all, although he still knew these things, he was really not used to speaking with the weapon in his hand for so long.
"… Got it. Bell from Rockcliff Village. When he was twelve years old, he awakened magic under his father's guidance. He killed all the livestock in his house in an instant. The flames caused by his magic also killed his mother. When the Demon Hunters arrived, he resisted and injured two more Demon Hunters … His sentence is imprisonment and … exile?"
Li Ke couldn't help but frown. The file didn't mention how long he had been imprisoned. However, from the fact that this case was written by two people, it could be seen that this person called Bill must have been imprisoned for a long time. Otherwise, one handwriting wouldn't be newer than the other. Moreover, it was written by two different people.
"In order to save his mother who fell into the valley, the eight-year-old Ryker showed traces of magic. He manipulated trees to make a ladder for his mother. After returning home, he surrendered himself … He was sentenced to imprisonment …"
When Li Ke saw this, he looked at the word 'imprisonment' at the back of the file and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He looked at the time when the file was written and the case that had no other outcome other than imprisonment. A terrifying conclusion suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Could it be that as long as a Mage appears in Demacia, no matter whether they are right or wrong, or whether they have caused harm to others, they will be imprisoned for life?"
This was something that the Demon Hunters didn't tell him. And this hidden fact was indeed cruel to the extent that it had to be firmly covered up. He pursed his lips and continued reading. However, no matter how many files he flipped through and how innocent the 'criminals' were, he didn't see the word 'release' in any of the files.
Ironically, although there were no cases of release, there were new words such as' exile 'and' suicide 'added to the list. These cold words represented a tragic tragedy. However, Li Ke also discovered that most of the Mages who were captured were civilians, and most of them were poor civilians. And most importantly, none of them were nobles. The one with the highest status was only the son of the city gate officer.
And this child was not sentenced to imprisonment because he had accidentally hurt many people when he awakened his magic. So, his father personally exiled him. When Li Ke read this file, he saw many traces of tears and a beautiful but twisted phrase 'my son'.
Therefore, even though Li Ke had long been immune to cold and heat, and even in a place like Freldrod, he felt chills all over his body.
"In other words, these 'Mages' who were just children have not been reunited with their families until now? And the privileges of the nobles in Demacia can't only be in terms of power? "
These facts made him even more silent because every child who was forced to be separated from their families and did not hurt anyone else had been forced to sacrifice their lives for the 'justice' of Demacia, or rather, for politics. And until now, they still could not find the hope of reuniting with their families.
"No … This is just a file, maybe …"
He clenched his fists and said something that even he did not believe. After all, what could be more convincing than the files of the demon hunters?
"Are you confused about whether the actions of this country are righteous?"
Just when he couldn't help but want to find someone to clarify things, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his ears. This made Li Ke subconsciously look at Yatokx and began to defend himself in his heart. But when this person said the second sentence, he realized that the person who spoke to him was not Yatokx, but a woman.
"Don't doubt it. There is darkness under every ray of light, just like you. Although you have been doing heroic things, there is a great darkness in your heart. Like I said, justice is bound to have darkness following it. "
The woman's voice was sometimes hoarse and sometimes clear, and it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gauze. Although Li Ke could hear it clearly, when he listened carefully, he felt that it was a little vague.
"Who are you?"
Li Ke silently touched the hilt of Yatokx's sword and became more vigilant. But it seemed to amuse the woman, causing her to laugh like an old grandmother laughing at her overly serious grandson. Then, her voice carried some kindness, or perhaps it was more like a caring emotion.
"I am not your enemy, child."
