"Hart!"
Sareth couldn't help but growl at the young man. The young man in black lowered his head, knowing that he had said the wrong thing. The people of Freldrod gave them clothes, food, and a place to live. When they helped them with the Demacian's innate ability, the barbaric people of Freldrod would even envy and respect them. This kind of life was something that the mages who had been driven to the wild jungle couldn't imagine.
If it weren't for the harsh weather in Freldrod, which caused them to suffer heavy losses even with the help of the gentle Mistress of the Mist, they would definitely love this place. But unfortunately, there were only a few Demacians who could come to Freldrod to start a new life and adapt to the environment in Freldrod. The first batch of mages who came here had gathered 300 people, but after arriving here, only a little more than 100 of them were left.
Several of them couldn't stand the cold and died. Too many of them had died in order to find a place to live.
"Demacia."
Li Ke thought of the barefoot fallen angel who always treated him like a child, as well as the ordinary people who lived peacefully in Demacia. So he looked at Sareth, who looked rather young beside him, and thought of his innate ability.
Not everyone would be able to stand up to an entire kingdom after being imprisoned for countless years, and even succeed in doing so. One must know that Gavin was the crown prince of Demacia, while the other was the leader of the Demacian military group. A guy who could give them headaches was definitely not someone simple. To put it simply, Sareth had great potential. If he was nurtured well, he would definitely be a great help in the future.
"It's not embarrassing that you don't want to come to Freldrod. If it weren't for my wife and her people here, I wouldn't want to come here either. So if you can contact the other mages, you can tell them that they can go to Birgivot or Noxus. I'll arrange their lives well, and I won't let you join the army to fight against your country. "
At this point, Li Ke put her hand on Sareth's shoulder.
"But the price is for you to follow me, Sareth. I'm very interested in you. You can totally become my disciple and learn how to deal with things that happen to you. And if you can satisfy me, I will prioritize the matter of Demacia in ten years."
Sareth had never expected Li Ke to say such a thing. He looked at the serious Li Ke in shock. He really couldn't understand what this big shot had taken a fancy to him. After all, Silas was a nobody, and all he had in Demacia was a bad name. Moreover, Li Ke's intention was clearly to invade Demacia. This made the young man, who still had fantasies about Demacia, feel very conflicted. He clenched his fists, afraid that he would lose this incredible opportunity. However, he was also frightened by this huge opportunity. He felt that he didn't deserve this opportunity and would mess everything up.
Moreover, in his heart, he still considered himself a Demacian and didn't want his country to fall into war. His family would completely lose hope in him because of this, and they would no longer recognize him as their family.
"Sir, I … I don't think I deserve your favor. I'm just an ordinary guy."
In the future, he would be twisted into an ambitious schemer who deceived a young girl's feelings and would kill her brother in front of her, as well as an extremist who wanted the mages of Demacia to enslave other non-mages. But now, Sareth still had a pure heart and sincerely wanted his country to accept mages like him. The reason why he hadn't changed yet was that he hadn't experienced the pain and torture in the dungeon and the countless years of differential treatment. He also hadn't seen more darkness with his own eyes, as well as more distortions hidden in the shadows of Demacia. He hadn't transformed into the liberated one yet. He was just a child, not much older than the current Lacus.
Now, he was just a young man who admitted that he had killed someone and was rescued by Morgana after a few days in the dungeon and sent to the Freldrod. He didn't have any knowledge or subjective thoughts. He didn't even understand why he had to endure such pain and differential treatment. Even though he couldn't see why in the future, his character and all his ideas hadn't been completely twisted by hatred, and the flames of revenge in his heart hadn't been completely ignited yet.
So, Li Ke directly told Sareth part of the reason he saw.
"Because the pain you've suffered is based on the current system of Demacia. In order to give their citizens a sense of security, in order to stabilize the situation in the country when there are frequent wars, and in order to cover up some things, the mages of Demacia targeted the mages of Demacia. In history, the magicians who had persecuted the Demacians naturally became the best targets. As long as the evil magicians were constantly picked out from the kind-hearted people, the people would believe that their lives were stable and that their protectors were strong and trustworthy. Then, the Demacians would be able to live happily. And for some nobles, if they put on the disguise of mages, things that are difficult to deal with will become easy to deal with. "
Sareth was stunned. He instinctively didn't want to believe Li Ke's words, but after all, he had been a demon hunter for a period of time, so he could vaguely understand what Li Ke said and think of more things. And what Li Ke said was indeed true. That was what Demacia did.
"So … So they're going to sacrifice us? No, Lord Li Ke, they must have more reasons. After all, this reason is too absurd. Demacia definitely isn't such a country. After all … "
He had never dared to believe his own conjectures, so when Li Ke said the truth, he instinctively wanted to deny it because that was his hometown. Although he didn't like him, he would still dream of his hometown.
"But this is where Demacia is helpless. Although this is a wrong thing, and many people know it, for the happiness of more people, they can only sacrifice the happiness of a small number of mages. This is the choice of Demacia. It's a distortion caused by their lack of ability, and it's also the source of your suffering. It must be the simplest and most convenient way for the rulers of Demacia of this era to stabilize the country's environment. And for the nobles of Demacia, it's also a very easy way to gain benefits and power. After all, eliminating the harm caused by magic in Demacia and making it so that there are no mages in the country is the foundation of Demacia. "
Li Ke took a sip of water and said a short sentence that Sareth didn't quite understand.
"It's also the political correctness of Demacia."
A country built by people who avoided the persecution of mages in this era, in turn, persecuted mages.
This was a normal and absurd thing.
