No, it's bad for my body.
Li Ke said in his mind. After all, Morgana was indeed a descendant of the Star Elves. Every part of her was perfect. If her non-mainstream and dark style of clothing were to be removed, she would fit Li Ke's ideal of a spouse very well. It could be said that every inch of her body was perfect for human aesthetics and she didn't have any of the bad habits of humans.
"Forget it. But don't you feel uncomfortable like this?"
Thus, he directly rejected her and set his eyes on Morgana's two pairs of wings that looked like large tails. After a burst of laughter, Morgana withdrew her action that could easily be misunderstood. Her calves and fair feet returned to her purplish-black chiffon dress. Moreover, she stood up with a gratified smile and continued to lead Li Ke into the human town.
"I told you, this will make me feel more alive … And no matter what happens later, don't make a sound. Otherwise, it will be troublesome."
Morgana gestured for Li Ke to keep quiet. At the same time, Li Ke discovered a black chiffon shrouding their bodies. Then, the surrounding sounds and light suddenly dimmed. However, Li Ke was still a little worried as he and Morgana walked into the town. After all, he could see the guards walking around and questioning the civilians. If they walked in openly, there would obviously be a conflict.
However, his worries didn't come true because when he and Morgana walked into the town through the gaps between the shrubs and houses, the guards in shiny Demacian armor didn't discover anything strange about them. They didn't stop or question them as though they didn't exist. Moreover, even when Morgana bargained with an apple vendor in front of them, the guards didn't do anything. Even the auntie who sold the apple to Morgana didn't express any emotions about Morgana's appearance.
"This is only a small trick, but I didn't deceive them on purpose. After all, it's hard for me to move around Demacia with my appearance and purchase daily necessities. Therefore, using illusions can sometimes reduce a lot of trouble and panic."
Morgana noticed Li Ke's doubts and threw another apple to Li Ke while explaining to Li Ke. But it was apparent that Li Ke was more concerned about another matter.
"You don't seem to be worried about the Forbidden Magic Stone?"
He could clearly see the half-masked Demon Hunters in this town and it was obvious that they had Forbidden Magic Stones on them. But judging from Morgana's attitude of ignoring them, these Demon Hunters didn't seem to be a threat to her at all.
"Unless I'm willing to, I won't be affected by the Forbidden Magic Stone … In fact, it's very difficult for the Forbidden Magic Stone to seal off any power with emotions. And as long as you use it appropriately, you can even use the Forbidden Magic Stone as a storage of mana. "
Morgana was very straightforward and expressed her most intuitive attitude toward the Forbidden Magic Stone. While she was talking to Li Ke, she bought two worn-out horses from a panicked coachman. At this moment, Li Ke also heard some discussions among the civilians and some uneasy discussions among the guards as the scouts on horseback returned.
"The higher-ups told us to retreat immediately if something is wrong, but I really don't know how to deal with a monster that can make the earth tremble … Heavens, the strongest monster I've faced is only a Shadow Wolf!"
"The scouts said that half of Anhar Mountain has disappeared. Be prepared. If that monster comes here, we can't embarrass the Demacians!"
"We've lived here for generations … Now, such a monster has come … God, why are you so cruel!"
"But how can swords and axes resist a power that can shatter a mountain?"
"Do you think it's a Demon …"
"Quiet! Otherwise, those Demon Hunters will target you! "
Uneasiness and panic began to spread in the village. Perhaps at the start, the villagers were able to easily appease the guards through their long-term trust. But when the guards doubted whether they could resist the mutated monster, an uncontrollable panic naturally broke out. Moreover, as the news became clearer and more fermented, the panic could even develop and spread to even further places.
But what made one speechless was that the commander here displayed enough boldness. He immediately requisitioned all the livestock and vehicles in the town, allowing the people of the town to move in an orderly manner. During the process, other than the atmosphere being a little sad and oppressive, there was not a single accident or unsettling incident. Every Demacian took the initiative and consciously followed the commander's arrangements, and even consciously maintained the order. On the other hand, he and Morgana watched the entire process from the center of the town. Every time he questioned their actions, Morgana would smile at him and place her index finger on her lips without saying a word.
After an hour of watching the orderly Demacians leave the town, Morgana turned to Li Ke and spoke.
"This is the beauty of humans, and also the reason why I care so much about you. With the power we possess, we can easily destroy the happiness of these ordinary people. That's why I want to stop you from seeing the girl in the fortress. Because after you see how she's being treated, you'll undoubtedly break her iron cage and rescue her. Then use your own methods to allow more people who have suffered the same fate as her to lead normal lives as you wish … But I can only regretfully tell you that now is not the time. The people of Demacia still do not understand what kind of suffering they are inflicting on these people, and what kind of crimes their King has committed. "
When she said this, she couldn't help but lower her head.
"That's why even I can only help those pitiful children in the dark."
Morgana nimbly mounted her horse and gestured for Li Ke to get on the poor old horse as well. However, Li Ke, who had always been suppressed by her 'motherly' aura, could not help but ask with a smile when he saw her white and tender feet stepping on the stool.
"Didn't you say you want to be down-to-earth?"
Morgana couldn't help but puff up her cheeks.
"You're such a bad child."
That was what she said.
