People in the League, Masters of Time Management

"Yeah, great!" Lux nodded happily.

Then...she put her hands to her mouth.

And then... She shouted at the highest volume: "Mubai secretly hid the most interesting fireworks—!"

"Don't!" Mu Bai hurriedly covered the opponent's mouth, but it was too late.

The crowd had gathered around expectantly.

Timo used his invisibility ability to walk away from the extra-large fireworks box at Mubai's feet.

Seeing this, Jinx made an "emergency stop" and walked past Caitlin, then jumped to the side of the box.

"Quick! This is my last flame... hurry...!"

With tears in his eyes, Ari forcibly overcame his fear and took the lighter from the other party.

ignite!

emission!

biu——!

With a loud explosion, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

That pattern is...

Portraits of all!

Under the bright light, Mu Bai and the crowd formed a circle holding hands, with happy smiles on their faces.

Together they looked up at the line of small characters under the fireworks pattern, and then said in unison:

"Happy New Year! Happy Year of the Tiger!"

Chapter 83 A Crown for Everyone

Many literati like to describe the delicacy and pride of wine, but Mubai really can't appreciate it.

This wheat wine produced in the border town of Demacia is bitter and astringent. At best, it is unappreciable, but at worst, it is like horse urine.

Oh, and the colors are like that too.

This price is still not low... With this money, it is better to buy some delicious food and share it with Lacus and Sona.

"Don't you like drinking?" the man across the table asked in a low voice.

"Well... yes, I don't like it." Mu Bai nodded frankly, and then asked: "Why didn't that one come? Are you his friend or emissary?"

Kashina's date was Silas, but it was a young man named Wal Detta.

On the surface, Mubai is calm and calm, but in fact, he has quietly released the energy of spying on the devil to cover the entire tavern, and no disturbance can escape his eyes.

"Friend...maybe it's okay." The young man nodded, his eyes wandering. "In short, he has already left Xiongdu, so I will see you instead of him."

"Leaving Xiongdu? When did it happen?"

"Yes...just three days ago."

"Did he tell you why?"

"Yes... and no..."

"Is it convenient for you to elaborate?"

"Yes." The young man took a sip of his wine, and then slowly explained what happened three days ago:

--------------------------

On that night three days ago, Silas returned to the magician's hiding place from the outside smelling of alcohol.

Seeing this, his deputy quickly asked, "Where did you go just now? Now is not the time to drink..."

Silas shook his head, even though he smelt of alcohol, he didn't look drunk at all.

"I went to negotiate with the nobles," he said.

As soon as this remark came out, the magicians who were hiding couldn't sit still immediately, and they all surrounded him, each and every one of them was so nervous that they almost wanted to run away immediately.

The army outside the city is almost here, and the guards inside the city have assembled. If their whereabouts are discovered by the nobles...all of them will die.

But there is also a small group of people who are a little calmer.

For example, the deputy, he can maintain the ability to think calmly in a dangerous situation, "Are you negotiating with that man named Mu Bai?"

"No." Silas shook his head again. "A woman. A woman of the Illuminati."

"What... what did she tell you?"

"She told me about the royal family's conspiracy, and about Mubai's malicious intentions."

Silas propped up his upper body, leaned against the sticky and slippery sewer wall, frowned, and continued:

"That woman told me...the royal family does plan to abolish the ban on magic, but they are not doing it for our own good..."

"Jiawen and his son just wanted to use this to suppress the power of the great nobles, and they will not let us go afterwards."

"Not to mention that man named Mu Bai, he is a lackey of the tyrant, so he naturally wants to speak for the royal family. His promises are as unbelievable as a rat in the sewer."

The deputy nodded as he listened, but he didn't completely lose his ability to think independently.

"Is what the woman said true?" he asked. "Is it possible that she has ulterior motives?"

Although the others did not speak, they also had the same worry.

Silas sighed, and said earnestly: "I know the Illuminati, they are the only organization in Demacia that is friendly to magicians...Of course, your worries are not unreasonable."

"Then you plan to..."

"Walk."

"Walk?"

"Hmm... I've thought about what that woman said seriously. Even if she has ulterior motives, the tyrant's behavior will not deviate... It is not safe for us to stay in Demacia—at least not for long until we are full-fledged."

"Where can we go?"

"Go to the north." Silas stood up suddenly, and then walked step by step to the high platform in the middle of the crowd.

"The environment in the north is harsh, but there is no oppression, no discrimination, and no suspicion! We can expand our strength there, and when the time is right, we can regain our Demacia!"

There was a commotion and discussion among the crowd.

"I have obtained the confidential map of Demacia from that woman, and I can completely avoid the guards' eyes and leave the city!" He said louder and more excitedly:

"Staying here, the best result is that we don't have to go to jail anymore, but we will still be oppressed and ignored!"

"We have to resist! We have to fight to the end! We are the real Demacians!"

"One crown, everyone can wear it! Demacia, those who can take office!"

"We are born extraordinary, we should step on the heads of those idiots!"

"Brothers and sisters, follow me to overthrow tyranny!"

-------------------------

The story came to an abrupt end here, and Wal Detta drank the ale in his glass with a bitter smile on his face.

"Did most people follow him?" Mu Bai asked.

"About [-]%... [-]% of the people stayed, and I was one of them." Deta said, "We choose to believe in the king."

Mu Bai nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the young man in front of him a little.

People of this age have basically never suffered too much oppression, and they probably didn't participate in the injury when the magicians rioted, so they still have hope for the country.

It doesn’t matter whether you go to the north or not, it’s just that the road you choose is different.

From Silas' point of view, those royal nobles are indeed treacherous and evil people, and it is the right thing to stand up and resist.

It's just that he has taken too big a step - it is obviously impossible to jump directly from the feudal system where the king governs the people to the utopian world where everyone is equal.

Could it be that after killing all the nobles, there will be no more oppression in Demacia?

Peace won by violence will always be short-lived and full of blood if the problem is not solved fundamentally.

"I have another question." Mu Bai said, "Who is that 'woman of the Illuminati'?"

"I don't know...she didn't reveal her name to us."

"What about your appearance?"

"I don't know, only the one who fled to the north has seen her."

"Okay, I understand." Mu Bai stood up, but he didn't finish the beer in the glass in the end.

"The ban on magic has been abolished, and you will never suffer again."

"Thank you... Thank you very much..." The young man's eyes turned red, and a few bean-sized tears rolled down his cheeks.

He, and they, had waited too long for this moment.

From now on, they can finally stand freely under the sun and feel the fragrance of the grass and the temperature of the soil.

The iron prison above the head has been dismantled, will the iron prison in my heart be far behind?

Chapter 84 Sona, You Are So Gentle

In the Freljord, Kuchar's Horde Federation.

An Iceborn ran from outside in a panic, still shouting something.

His body was covered with blood, the palm of his right hand was missing, and his clothes were torn, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.

"The Lost... The Lost! They're crazy!"

The Iceborn threw himself on a clansman and shouted in horror:

"They're out of the pasture...they're attacking us! They're...crazy!"

The clansmen who were working around immediately surrounded him and frantically stopped the bleeding and disinfected him.

His entire palm was pulled off, and a piece of white bone was exposed to the air. If he didn't get treatment in time, his life might be in danger.

"Where's your brother?" A clansman suddenly realized something, "Didn't he go out with you? Where is he now?"

"He... died... was eaten alive by the lost..." The injured Iceborn knelt on the ground and shivered, the physical pain seemed to be far less serious than the psychological pain.

"The group of monsters broke the contract of the Frost Priest...they ran out..."

Hearing this, everyone turned pale with shock.

For thousands of years, human tribes and the lost have maintained a delicate balance. As long as the tribe hunters do not trespass into the hunting grounds of the lost, they will not be attacked, but now...

Regardless of the agreement, they ran out of the hunting ground to attack humans...

This is a very serious matter - in front of those monsters, human beings have almost no resistance, and fighting alone can only lead to death.

"What happened?" Just then, a majestic voice came.

Seeing the two leaders Sejuani and Lissandra approaching, everyone immediately explained what happened just now.

Sejuani listened to them and comforted them not to panic, while Lissandra went straight to the injured iceborn.

She smelled that familiar smell... She knew what happened without guessing.

The Lost...that is, the tribe of the Thunder demigod Volibear...

She was all too familiar with its energy.

She had experienced the power of the violent thunder thousands of years ago.

Together with Avarosa and Serilda, she defeated the Ursines in that ancient war, but she also lost her light forever.

"Don't be nervous, this should be just an accident." Lissandra comforted everyone, then raised her hand to freeze the wounded's severed limb. "The Millennium Agreement will not be broken, nor will thunder and storm befall the Freljord Alliance."

After speaking, she left without looking back.

Sejuani frowned and hurriedly followed.

"Is this really an accident?" she asked quietly.

Lissandra did not answer her.
