Douluo: Rainbow Cat, Blue Cat, Seven Swords and Dragon Rider

Chapter 1070 A Bet

He Xi, always eager for a good show, quickly came up with a brilliant idea.

"Kyle, Morgana, how about you two make a bet?"

He Xi's words drew the attention of both Kyle and Morgana.

"A bet? What to bet on?"

Morgana said with great interest, while Kyle showed little interest.

"I'll bet on this land you once protected, Demacia. Morgana, didn't you believe that sinners could be redeemed?"
Let's see if Demacia will make any changes after what happened with Sylas.

If things change, then you've won, and you can offer assistance to help them complete the reforms.

If nothing changes, then Kayle has won, and Kayle should give Demacia a trial.

Morgana looked at Kyle and said with a smile, "Sister, are you willing to bet?"

“Morgana, you should know that you are more likely to lose.”

"I don't care. Whether we win or lose, it's a change for Demacia."

After a long silence, Kyle nodded.

"Okay, I'll take this bet!"

Lan Hong chimed in at this point.

"Hehe, in that case, let's make this bet last until Silas returns."

Sylas will almost certainly gather the mages who resent Demacia and launch a rebellion against Demacia.

This period is perfect for scouting Demacia.

Kyle and Morgana naturally did not object.

After meeting with Blue Rainbow and the others, Kyle and Morgana bid farewell and returned to Mount Targon.

"My older sister is still as cold as ever. I'll be your guide from now on."

They didn't mind having a different guide; perhaps Morgana was a better fit as a guide than Kyle.

They then returned to Demacia, where the matter of Sylas had been suppressed, and the entire city of Demacia was forbidden from discussing anything related to Sylas.

Lan Hong and his companions concealed themselves and strolled through the city-state of Demacia. The demon-hunting team roamed the city-state, plunging the common people into fear.

This superficial peace seems so hypocritical and ridiculous.

He Xi then asked Morgana, "Morgana, do you think you can win?"

“I said it doesn’t matter. I gave them a chance. If they don’t give me the chance to redeem them, then it’s up to my sister to deal with them.”

My sister never understood that we were never adversaries, but rather complementary.

That makes perfect sense. Morgana gives you a chance for redemption, but if you don't cherish it, then Kayle's judgment will follow.

"Since you understand this, why don't you tell your sister directly? You are sisters, there is no knot that cannot be untied."

Morgana shook her head.

"Our father's death is a knot we can't untie. We can't forgive ourselves, and we can't forgive each other either."

Keisha fell silent; indeed, this was a knot in her heart that was difficult to untie.

Seeing this, He Xi changed the subject.

"I want to know, what will happen to Lux, the girl who caused this execution ground rebellion? Now that Lux's magic has been exposed, how will the rulers of Demacia give an explanation?"

Upon hearing He Xi's question, Lan Hong asked Ge Xiaolun, "Xiaolun, do you think Lux will be punished?" "Well... I'm afraid not."

Ge Xiaolun still truthfully stated his judgment.

Given Lux's status, she won't face any punishment, whether openly or secretly; at most, she'll be asked to temporarily refrain from public appearances.

"No, that's not true. After all, Lux is still Prince Jarvan IV's fiancée. You can guess who Jarvan IV is."

"Is it Yaowen? How can he put up with a fiancée like that?"

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Demacian palace.

At this moment, in the palace, Jarvan III sat on the throne, below him were the marshal of the empire, Garen, the Might of Demacia, Jarvan IV, the prince, the head of the Demon Search Team, and other noble representatives.

Everyone was discussing Silas, and Ge Xiaolun also saw Jarvan IV. Sure enough, he looked a lot like Cheng Yaowen, but the two had completely different temperaments.

Jarvan IV was a typical nobleman, but he had absolutely no trace of a commoner.

The leader of the demon-hunting team proposed to punish Lux, Garen, and Jarvan IV naturally opposed it.

Clearly, the power struggles within Demacia are also quite intense.

Jarvan III hinted at changing the ban on magic, but this was met with opposition from most of the nobles.

"The dirty political games are disgusting to watch! This old emperor has the will to reform, but he doesn't have the courage to overthrow everything and start over. It will all be empty talk."

He Xi directly defined Jarvan III's character, and this characterization was quite accurate.

The Grand Marshal then changed the subject.

"The more important thing now is to guard against a Noxian invasion. Those Noxian lunatics won't let any opportunity to invade slip by."

Once the topic was shifted, the issue of banning magic naturally faded away.

Without suppressing vested interests, reform cannot be completed; without internal reform, what awaits is an external revolution.

“Morgana, would you mind taking us to Noxus for a visit?”

"Of course, come with me!"

Lan Hong and his group left Demacia and arrived in Noxus, where the land was much more barren than that of Demacia.

The entire Noxus was shrouded in an atmosphere of iron-bloodedness, oppression, and terror.

This is the capital of the strong; here, you either become strong or die.

Noxus is a cruel nation that will stop at nothing to win a war.

Perhaps the only advantage is hope, where it's a real possibility to rise from a soldier to the highest ruler.

"How could such a warlike nation not perish, but instead become even stronger? It's incomprehensible!"

"Warlikeness may have become the defining characteristic of Noxus, but the origin of everything is still survival. As for right and wrong, good and bad, we outsiders will not make any judgments."

Morgana, I'd like to hear your opinion on Noxus, after all, it's an old rival of Demacia, the land you protect.

Morgana thought for a moment and replied, "Just as you said, war has become the defining characteristic of this country, and what I also see is the danger lurking beneath Noxus."

"Hidden dangers underground?"

Keisha was somewhat puzzled. What did the hidden danger underground refer to? Runeterra seemed to have many mysterious and supernatural things.

Lan Hong guessed it; Morgana was probably referring to Mordekaiser.

Speaking of Mordekaiser, Blue Rainbow naturally thought of the Shadow Isles, and she could go there to take a look later.
