Chapter 295: The Devil-Man Silas
"Everyone... is extraordinary?" Silas was a little bit unbelievable.
He couldn't understand.
"You will know when you see." Sona smiled and looked at the mages present, those who had a higher level of understanding, had accepted Jana's thoughts to a certain extent, and had developed a preliminary belief.
"You can try praying to the goddess Janna and seek strength from her."
She guided everyone in this way.
The mages tried in confusion, calling out the name of the goddess in their hearts, and then:
"Wind! This is the power of the wind element! How is this possible?!"
Air currents surrounded the mages.
None of them were wind magicians, but they used wind magic at this time.
"This is the power of the goddess." Sona used this scene to make everyone understand: "As long as you have faith, the goddess will generously grant you her divine power."
"That's why I said that everyone can be a mage."
If everyone is a mage, then there is no essential difference between mages and mortals, and the so-called racial conflicts do not exist at all.
After all, race is ultimately just a form of identity recognition.
But Sona simply erased the characteristic that they used to distinguish their identities, digging out the root of the mage race that Silas insisted on.
"This..." Silas couldn't accept it for a moment.
"No, that's not right..." He instinctively wanted to refute: "Those mortals just borrowed a little bit of the goddess' power... He, they can't even be considered mages!"
"Oh?" Sona frowned in displeasure. "You mean, if you are not born with the ability to use magic, you can't be considered a mage? If you have weak magic power, you can't be considered a mage?"
"Do mages have to be ranked high and low, right?"
"Only natural, powerful mages are your compatriots?"
Silas: “…”
He was now completely speechless.
Because in the traditional definition of a wizard, no matter if it is innate or acquired or with the help of external forces, as long as one can use magic, he is a wizard.
If he wanted to deny Sona's theory, he would have to redefine the concept of a mage.
But in this way, he actually expelled some people from the "magic circle". His racialist remarks that "all mages are brothers" became very ridiculous.
“I…” Silas stood there in embarrassment.
"Mr. Silas." Sona gave him a way out. "I know you are still haunted by the past and cannot accept the leader's ideas for a while."
"But I am willing to give you some time to think about it slowly. Perhaps you will come to your senses."
"..." Silas was silent for a long time.
Finally, he opened the book "Jana" in his hand again.
…
A few more days passed.
During these few days, the mages received military training from the Crown Guard family during the day and studied Jana philosophy with Sona at night.
The good news is that even Silas, the most crazy person among them, has now reluctantly accepted Janna's ideas.
But the bad news is that this only gives Sona more headaches.
Because when a madman accepts Jana's thoughts but does not change his extreme personality... then his understanding of Jana's thoughts is likely to be extremely biased.
For example, Sona advocates a radical line of struggle against the Demacia nobles.
But Silas felt that this approach was not radical enough.
"Unity? What do you mean?"
"It's fine if we unite the civilians, but why do we need to unite the officers, generals, and even the nobles of Demacia?"
"I think we should wipe out all those Demacia nobles, as well as the officers and generals who serve as their lackeys!"
This army of mage prisoners is about to leave Demacia and go to Zaun through the Hexgate to join forces with friendly forces in Zaun.
Silas's suggestion was that as soon as the army left Demacia, they would seize the opportunity to launch a mage rebellion and eliminate Lux and the Knights of the Crownguard family, including their soldiers.
So, he had an argument with Sona.
Silas believed that the Demacian nobles and their men were all enemies, and that no one should be spared when facing an enemy.
Sona believes that "whether they are officers or nobles, there are people among them who sympathize with the struggle and are worth reforming."
"You indiscriminately treat everyone as an enemy and eliminate them, even the lowest-ranking soldiers... Aren't you pushing all the friends you can win over to the enemy side?"
"So what?" Silas said, "Since the goddess is on our side, we are invincible. No matter how many enemies we have, they are just ants destined to perish."
"And those nobles and their lackeys... How could people like them change? If we want a clean new world, we should kill all these insects!"
Sona: "Ah this..."
Sylas 's extreme hatred for Demacia was obviously not alleviated in the slightest by his understanding of Janna's thoughts.
He no longer advocates racism and is willing to treat mortals as friends.
But his extreme racial hatred turned into extreme class hatred.
Silas not only wanted to kill the nobles, but also those who served the nobles, from officers to soldiers, no one would be spared.
"Alas." She could no longer communicate with this crazy man.
"But, Silas." Sona had no choice but to say helplessly: "Have you forgotten? I am also a noble!"
"Doesn't my existence prove that even among the most reactionary and corrupt aristocracy, there are still people who can be won over and reformed?"
Speaking of this, Sona suddenly remembered the time when she was studying theory with Levi and Seraphine.
It turns out that the problem she is facing now has been encountered by the leader before:
At the beginning of the founding of Windleader, the Zaun people in the organization also generally liked to talk about their origins and composition. They only trusted the so-called "own people" and regarded everyone in Piltover as objects that needed to be vigilant, or even enemies that must be eliminated.
And now, Silas has undoubtedly carried forward this tradition, and even carried it to an even more extreme level:
"Ms. Sona, you are a noble indeed."
"But you are just the adopted daughter of the Bouvier family. Legally, you have no right to inherit the family. So..."
"So what?!" Sona widened her eyes in annoyance. "Do you think I betrayed my origins and joined the Wind of Change because I couldn't get any benefits from my family?"
Silas shrugged noncommittally. "No. I'm just saying that you are a unique case among the nobility that cannot be replicated."
“…”Sona was speechless.
It’s not that she had nothing to say, but she didn’t know what to say to convince this crazy guy.
This guy had a conflict of opinion with Janna before he accepted her ideas, and even after he accepted them, he was still able to create a conflict of opinion.
Alas... this publicity work is so difficult.
Miss Sona is a little autistic.
So Sylas got even more excited: "Let's see, Sona. Can you find another person like you among the nobles of Demacia?"
"Hmm..." Actually, she could. But it was not convenient to say it now.
However, Silas helped her mention that person: "Sona, you can't even win over your so-called best friend, Laxana Crownguard. What makes you say that there are still people among our enemies who are worth winning over and uniting with?"
"Uh..." Sona hesitated.
"Actually, Lux..."
"She is a demon!" Silas said excitedly. "The existence of this woman is the best proof! She proves that the nobles are a bunch of inherently bad people who are hopelessly bad."
"Even a 13-year-old child can feed a living person to her pet without hesitation - this is the nobles of Demacia! They all deserve to be killed!"
Sona: “…”
She was silent for a moment, and finally said with a strange look:
"All right, Mr. Silas."
"I agree with your plan to eliminate Lux..."
