Although Xin Zhao was no longer young, he was still full of vigor, and in the darkness, holding his long spear, he remained as heroic and dashing as ever.
Xin Zhao glanced at Chen, then at the piles of corpses on the ground, which were beyond his comprehension; when he was still fighting on the battlefield, there were no weapons with such power.
Xin Zhao frowned: "Are you Chen?"
Chen had no intention of disguising himself and replied directly: "It is I. May I ask what the Grand Steward desires?"
Xin Zhao immediately took out two letters, handing one to Chen and the other to Lux: "Jarvan asked me to come. Read the letters quickly. If you agree, come with me to Demacia Imperial City!"
Lux took Jarvan's letter and used the faint light of the burning flames on the ground to read its contents:
"Lux, Garen and I have actually known for a long time that you are a mage, and we also knew that it was you who released Sylas that year. I once wanted to kill you to avenge my father, but over the years, you have truly been like my own sister, and I could never bring myself to do it.
These past few years, I have been secretly investigating the true cause of my father's death. This matter is indeed related to you releasing Sylas, but even if you hadn't released Sylas, someone else would have. There's a conspiracy hidden behind this, and you are merely a pawn in this game.
If you want to know the truth and clear your name, please come with me!"
Lux tremblingly looked at the letter in her hand. She had never imagined that Jarvan and Garen had known about the secret she had kept for so many years.
But at the same time, she felt a warmth. They both knew that she had made an irreversible mistake, yet they still chose to help her conceal it and were so kind to her.
Lux took a deep breath, then said to Xin Zhao: "I agree."
Fiora also stated: "Since things have come to this, I have no other choice. Lux, I'll go with you."
Jinx found it interesting and helped Chen take the letter. But when she opened it, she found only a blank piece of paper. She shoved it into Chen's hand and shouted loudly: "What is this Jarvan doing? Giving you a blank piece of paper, is he crazy?!"
Lux was stunned. Her letter clearly had a lot of content, but why was Chen's letter just a blank piece of paper? Even Xin Zhao didn't know why Jarvan would give Chen a blank piece of paper.
Chen, however, seemed to understand and read out the blank letter: "Chen, my friend, I urgently need your help now, and I hope you can come and assist me."
Jinx snatched the letter back, flipped through it repeatedly, but found nothing on it. Jinx shook the letter, then held it over the fire, but still found nothing.
Jinx put her hands on her hips and angrily shouted at Chen: "You're lying! There are no words on it!"
Chen ruffled Jinx's head: "I never said there were words on it."
Jinx jumped directly onto Chen and bit his neck: "You're messing with me!"
"No... there are no words, but that's the meaning. I don't want to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, and neither money nor anything else would work. Jarvan knows that no words can persuade me."
Chen hastily explained: "So he gave me a blank piece of paper, meaning I can write the contents of the letter myself, and I can set my own conditions, as long as I'm willing to help him! This is his greatest sincerity."
Only then did Jinx let go, her teeth aching a bit from biting. Why was Chen so hard?
After all, Chen's armor and magic resistance had already stacked up, so it was normal for Jinx to not be able to bite through him.
Jinx jumped off Chen, put her hands on her hips, and quickly asked: "So, what are you going to do?!"
"Of course, I'm going to help Jarvan. He's so sincere, and he even had Xin Zhao personally deliver the letter."
Jarvan had always treated him as a friend, never relying on power or authority to coerce Chen, completely unlike the people of Noxus.
Moreover, from an ideological perspective, Jarvan's mind was absolutely progressive. He was willing to change the current system, and even willing to sacrifice his royal power to establish a constitutional monarchy. Such a person was worth helping.
Chen was receptive to kindness but not to force. This was Jarvan's third invitation to him. After three visits, it was time to emerge from seclusion, so Chen decided to help Jarvan.
Chen said to Xin Zhao: "Steward, lead the way!"
Xin Zhao nodded and led Chen and the others through a secret passage towards Demacia and Demacia Imperial City.
...
At the moment of the explosion, in an inconspicuous tavern in Demacia City.
A cloud of purple mist swirled in the tavern. The Soul Hunter Corps Commander, Eldred, suddenly appeared from the smoke in the tavern. He was gasping for breath, his fists clenched tightly: "Chen! Why is it Chen again! Every time in my plans, he appears! Damn it! Damn it!"
Eldred punched the nearby wall fiercely, let out a long breath, and slowly raised his head to look at the corner of the eaves. A Crow was staring at him, then nodded to him in a human-like manner.
A few seconds later, his mood finally calmed down. He slowly walked towards the Soulless barracks: "An entire legion was almost annihilated in an instant. Fortunately, Jarvan, that fool, gave the Soulless enough authority. Demacia still has one legion, and the three legions around Silvermere are almost here."
"I originally wanted to use Lux as a threat, but now the commotion outside is already so great, I can only act in advance!"
The remaining Soul Hunter Corps quickly assembled. Legion Commander Eldred immediately stood at the front of the troops and began to deliver a loud speech:
"Soulless of the Soul Hunter Corps, do you all remember our mission as Soulless?"
The Soulless raised their swords, almost shouting in unison: "Eradicate all magic in Demacia!"
Eldred excitedly began his speech: "We have painstakingly worked for Demacia, eliminating all evil magic, but now there is one person in Demacia who constantly hinders us from eradicating magic. What should we do?"
The Soulless's momentum echoed throughout the camp: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Eldred continued: "What if this person is your current Prince? Jarvan IV, Prince of Demacia!"
The Soulless below did not let out the same loud shouts as before; they fell silent, confused.
Eldred loudly accused: "Just now, I led the Soulless Second Legion of Demacia to apprehend Lux, the Crownguard Family mage! We met with strong resistance, and the entire Second Legion was almost completely destroyed by Lux's light magic!"
The Soulless were in shock. They had all heard the huge explosion outside, and they knew that the soldiers who had left the city earlier were indeed their Soulless comrades!
Eldred continued: "Jarvan IV, in order to seize the position of King of Demacia, colluded with mages and orchestrated a plot of patricide!
He had the mage Lux release the rebel mage Sylas! And had Sylas kill King Jiawen III!
And at that time, it was said that Sylas captured Jarvan IV alive, but they didn't kill Jarvan IV. If you were Sylas, would you let Jarvan IV go? They were already in it together!"
The Soulless could hardly believe what Eldred said!
But almost all Soulless knew that the place where Sylas was previously imprisoned was under Soulless control, and Lux indeed often visited Sylas using her Crownguard Family identity!
And on the day Sylas escaped, Lux was in the entry and exit records!
All along, because the Crownguard Family was powerful and influential, and there was an unclear relationship between Lux and Jarvan, there was also a marriage contract between Lux and Jarvan!
The Soulless did not dare to investigate Lux. Today, with one move, an entire legion was annihilated!
Sylas killed Jiawen III, and captured Jarvan IV but didn't kill him. This was indeed a huge point of suspicion. With multiple doubts gathering, the Soulless now completely distrusted Jarvan and Lux.
Eldred finally ordered loudly: "Now, we Soulless must eliminate evil for Demacia! Our target is Demacia Imperial Palace. Capture Jarvan IV alive and find the truth behind King Jiawen III's death!
Soulless! Are you ready to fight?!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The vast Soulless army advanced towards Demacia Imperial City.
At the same time, from three directions of Demacia, three Soul Hunter Corpss surrounded it tightly, but there should have been four...
