"She's still a child."
Li Ke's voice sounded.
"That's why we can't let her go."
Li Ke walked over slowly and looked at Vayne who was still struggling in the vines. If it weren't for the fact that she was still young, he wouldn't have grabbed her with a branch. Instead, he would have used a sharp wooden spike to pierce through this ungrateful 'hero'.
Indeed, in the eyes of some radical Demacians, Vayne was undoubtedly a hero, and she had indeed saved many people. But that was in the future. In the future, Vayne would be worthy of this name because of her large number of achievements. Although she would be cruel in the future, she would only target magical creatures, and most of the time, she would target all kinds of magical creatures.
However, in Li Ke's current world, she was nothing more than an ungrateful person who had grown up crooked.
No, perhaps it wasn't too accurate to say that she was ungrateful because she hadn't forgotten the fact that Ryze saved her. But if her current situation continued to develop, and if Ryze didn't die, Vayne would sooner or later hunt down this savior of hers.
But looking at her age …
"So, what do you plan to do with this child?"
Soraka asked. She felt Li Ke's murderous intent just now, and it was because this child was too young that Li Ke didn't participate in the battle and killed her. But she didn't have much hope. Li Ke wouldn't give any preferential treatment because of the child's age.
After all, she saw the spirit of a child haunting Li Ke. This proved that as long as someone committed a crime in Li Ke's eyes, he wouldn't care how old they were.
"Actually, I thought that I should just kill her and end it all, but …"
Let her go?
A glimmer of hope appeared in Soraka's eyes. As long as Li Ke let the child go, she would find a way to heal the child's heart, so that she would no longer be obsessed with hatred, darkness, and the desire to kill. She would also repair the relationship between the child and her family.
This was the only thing she was good at.
"… That's not the law I made. So, I will lock her up until she reaches adulthood, tell her what she did wrong, and then kill her."
Isn't this an unnecessary move …?
Even someone like Soraka was speechless when she heard Li Ke's way of dealing with the child.
Vayne did want to kill Frey and did it. If it wasn't for Soraka, Frey would have died. So, Vayne had undoubtedly broken the law. Although it wasn't considered breaking the law in Demacia, she had broken Li Ke's law.
"Because if she can truly repent for what she did and atone for her sins, it's not impossible to kill her. And most importantly, if I can't abide by the law, how can I let others abide by the law?
Juvenile delinquents were a problem no matter which world they were in. Immature youths were easily influenced, and immature youths could do countless stupid things. And in this world, the corresponding education system ''s's wasn't developed developed. So, Vayne's problem wasn't an isolated case, but a problem that existed in the entire world.
The most typical example was the children Li Ke killed in Pi City. They naively committed crimes and didn't think it was a crime.
Vayne's actions were essentially the same, but the biggest difference between her and the children killed by Li Ke was that she was different from Li Ke. When her character was twisted, she was a victim, not a winner. This was the biggest difference, and the reason why Li Ke didn't kill her directly.
But her actions must be punished.
"There's a juvenile detention center I built in Pi City. Children who commit crimes will be locked up there if they can be saved. And she will stay there until she reaches adulthood."
Li Ke grabbed a branch and walked towards Vayne, who was still gnashing her teeth and glaring at her. If it weren't for this incident, he would have wanted to take this classic adc away and train her to prevent her from walking down the same path. However, a mistake was a mistake.
She was no longer qualified.
The broken branch gradually changed its shape in his hand. He used his complicated feelings as a foundation and poured his power into it. Then, he looked at Soraka and hesitated for a moment before pouring the power that Soraka gave him into the item.
Soraka's power represented hope and healing, as well as the yearning for a better life. If it was just a punishment, he could've just killed Vayne, but he didn't want to do that, so he added Soraka's power into the item.
A black collar appeared in Li Ke's hand. When he gently touched Vayne's neck with this black collar, Vayne, who was still struggling, felt her neck sink. An invisible shackle appeared on her neck.
Naturally, she was enraged. However, just as she was thinking about how to kill Li Ke, the collar around her neck suddenly tightened.
The branch around her loosened at this moment, but she couldn't release the killing intent in her heart. Because as she thought about how to kill Li Ke and Soraka, the invisible collar around her neck tightened, and all her strength was absorbed by the collar in an instant. Vayne could only lie on the ground in pain and pull at the collar around her neck.
However, the necklace didn't extinguish her last trace of life. Instead, it maintained this near-death torture. Vayne even bit her own tongue in desperation, wanting to use the blood from her broken tongue to completely block her blood vessels and kill herself. The collar on her neck directly took over control of her body and emitted a strange wave.
Under this wave, she felt like every inch of her body was in pain, but it wasn't so painful that she collapsed.
However, what hurt her the most wasn't the physical pain. What hurt her the most was the words that her mother and father had taught her, as well as the things and events that had touched her. These things kept lashing at her heart, questioning her actions.
She tried hard to convince herself that she was carrying out justice, but a voice refuted her immediately, pointed out the mistakes in her thoughts, and began to talk about some kind principles that she thought were weak. To sum it up, the voice that suddenly appeared in her heart only meant one thing, and that was to say, "Don't worry.
"Repent."
Vayne also understood one thing in an instant. That was, if she acknowledged her 'mistakes' and wanted to correct them, the pain would disappear.
And if she continued to be so stubborn, then …
"This collar will automatically disappear from your neck when you truly repent and realize your mistakes. You will also leave after you grow up in the juvenile detention center. But if you want to hurt others when you wear it, break the law, or if you always feel that what you did today is not wrong, it will cut your neck before you hurt others, or when you become an adult."
This was the good thing about the magic world. It could allow the strong to effectively guarantee their own thoughts. And Li Ke didn't give this collar to Vayne alone. All the children in his juvenile detention center would get an identical collar through this thing. The only difference was that those who made small mistakes wouldn't have their necks cut off when they became adults.
Even if they didn't repent, they would be directly released when their sentence was up. Vayne was different. She would be imprisoned for attempted murder and assaulting a police officer. Even if she became an adult and admitted her mistakes, she would still have to serve her sentence in the women's prison. Her sentence wouldn't be reduced or reduced because of her age.
This newly created tool would accompany Vayne to Leather City and be handed over to the guards there for them to use and manage. This would allow the children who made mistakes to repent and return to society for a limited period of time.
As for whether it would be abused?
It was impossible. This item had its own will. It respected the law and was the prototype of the Empire's legal terminal. Li Ke didn't intend to give this item sentiments, but in the end, he still gave it to this child.
It was all because of Soraka.
"I think it's a good choice for you to send her to Skin City. What do you think, Ms. Freya?" "Yes."
Li Ke turned around and looked at Frey, who was looking at them with a complicated expression. Frey was holding the sacred silver crossbow that Soraka took from her. Frey was looking at Vayne, who was twitching on the ground and covered in filth. After a moment of silence, Freya spoke.
"Please let her go, O 'Revered God of Harvest. I've forgiven her."
Although Li Ke didn't mention the word 'prison', Freya could tell that it was a place to imprison underage criminals. Freya hated Vayne for betraying her, but she also saw her feelings for Vayne clearly.
Her daughter had died because of black magic, and she had always had a special feeling for Vayne because this girl was also a victim of black magic, and she was very much like her own daughter. When he heard that Vayne's parents weren't dead, he was filled with jealousy and unwillingness to accept the fact that Vayne's parents weren't dead.
Because if Vayne's parents were completely dead, then this child who was very similar to his daughter would completely become his child. However, she knew that her way of thinking was wrong, so she immediately got rid of the evil thoughts in her heart.
But she couldn't help but treat Vayne as a substitute for her daughter.
That was why when Vayne's arrow pierced her heart, she saw her feelings for Vayne clearly in a daze. Of course, Soraka, who had healed her, had the power and language to strike at her heart, which was also a very important reason. That was why she didn't hate Vayne anymore. It was just that the faint sadness in her heart made her not want to see Vayne anymore.
Freya didn't intend to let Vayne be punished anymore. She would treat it as if nothing had happened and live in their own worlds.
"After all, I'm the victim, right? If I don't care, then she doesn't need to be punished, right? "
Freya said sincerely, but Li Ke shook his head.
"I'm enforcing my law. It has nothing to do with whether you forgive her or not, Miss Freya. I just think that you have a lot to say to her. Since you refuse, I'll send her to Pi City directly."
Li Ke's attitude was very clear, and Frey felt that the person in front of her was a little unreasonable. Although he was the king of Noxus, this was not his territory.
"But this place shouldn't be your territory, right?"
Frey knew that what she should do now was to agree. She was just an insignificant ant to the man in front of her. He could kill her with a single sneeze. But for Vayne's sake, she still spoke.
"The borders of my country are as far as my heart can reach, and as far as my eyes can see, my laws apply … Even if it's not my country, as the Emperor, I have to abide by my laws. What's wrong with that? Or do you have any objections to this? "
Freya looked at Li Ke's fist that could definitely kill her and then at Vayne who was still struggling on the ground. In the end, she couldn't convince herself to object.
This Emperor was a good person.
There were very few rulers in this world who could adhere to their own laws. Most of the rulers were people who did whatever they wanted. The laws were only something they used to restrain their subordinates, not themselves.
Freya sighed and decided to bring Vayne to Pi City. She didn't think that she could cause any trouble to Li Ke's decision. She might as well follow Vayne and try to untie the knot in her heart with her parents so that she wouldn't have to die as an adult.
After doing this, she would leave and never have anything to do with this girl ever again.
But at this moment, a golden light flashed in the sky and dark flames appeared around Vayne. The flames twisted into chains around Vayne and tried to corrode the collar that Li Ke put on her.
A clear and melodious voice rang out at this moment.
"Looks like my sister has finally chosen a decent person. As a ruler, you're barely qualified!"
Along with the voice, a figure in golden armor appeared. The first thing this figure did when he appeared in the sky was to brandish the two swords in his hands. Countless golden swords appeared around him, then he rushed toward Vayne and cut off the black chains that wrapped around her body. At the same time, he also stopped the chains from corroding the necklace around her neck.
However, Vayne was also attacked by these golden swords. But at this moment, a dark purple shield appeared on Vayne's body and blocked all the golden swords, turning them into fragments.
At the same time, a voice that Li Ke was very familiar with sounded. Although it was still gentle, it was mixed with disappointment and sorrow.
"Li Ke! You've disappointed me too much! I don't remember you being such a strict person! "
A black figure suddenly emerged from the muddy ground and revealed a beautiful face and figure. At the same time, Soraka, who was also a god, and Li Ke who recognized them both sighed.
Because trouble was coming.
