"Hello, respected Master of the Prophet Reed, King Jarvan III of Demacia, I would like to extend my highest respect to you. All the contributions you have made to the Kingdom of Demacia will always be remembered by the people of Demacia.
.”
After Jarvan III saw Reed, he didn't react at first. After all, there was a big gap between Reed's normal appearance and his "violent form".
And the huge statue standing in the center of the magnificent square is actually a sculpture of his "violent form".
However, Jarvan III still recognized Reed's identity, because there was actually a less eye-catching statue of Reed in his normal form next to the huge statue of the Furious Iron Beast, which was a combined statue.
In fact, all along, the Demacians thought they were two yordles, and the more conspicuous and imposing giant raging iron-eating beast was Master Reed.
But now Jarvan III finally figured it out. It turns out that the two statues depict the same yordle.
It seems that there are still some mistakes or forgotten parts in the traditions they have passed down.
"Things in the past are all gone. Oren is my disciple and a friend who has been recognized by me. Helping him is what I should do without expecting anything in return. You don't need to care. We can just communicate normally."
.”
Reed was very satisfied with Jarvan III's posture. This Demacia king still had some abilities. It was no wonder that he would be able to subdue a fierce man like Xin Zhao in the future.
At least in terms of how he behaves and treats others, Jarvan III can already be called an enlightened monarch.
As soon as Reed and Bobby came in, the Demacia king immediately arranged seats for them, although Reed's seat looked a bit big, as if it was for him after a violent rage.
"You can't say that. The Forbidden Demon Stone, the foundation of Demacia, and the huge Forbidden Demon Forest were all found by you with our ancestors and given to them without reservation, as the descendants of the beneficiaries.
We, as a matter of course, should maintain respect for you."
Jarvan III shook his head. As the king of the Kingdom of Demacia, he obviously knew many things that ordinary people didn't know. Especially when the Lightshield family has been king for three consecutive generations, they knew a lot about the history of this country.
More than any king before.
At this time, the young sword captain Tiana Crownguard standing on the side was stunned. She obviously did not expect that this yordle had such a terrifying background.
"Your Majesty, I think my behavior just now was very offensive to Master Reed. Please allow me to apologize to him."
Unexpectedly, after understanding Reed's contribution to Demacia, Tiana Crownguard took the initiative to ask Jarvan III to apologize to Reed.
"Of course, Tiana, if a person wants to sincerely repent for his mistakes, who can stop him? Not even if I am the king."
Jarvan III was stunned at first, but then he smiled happily and agreed. He actually knew Tiana Crownguard's character and temperament, and he also knew the pressure she was facing now.
But just as her father once did, Jarvan III believed that the Crownguard girl could do it too.
"I would like to express my most sincere apologies to you, Master Reed. My rudeness is really against my family's teachings and our glorious tradition. Please forgive me for my ignorance."
After Tiana Crownguard received Jarvan III's permission, she expressed her apology directly.
Although she knew that doing so might give others a reason to criticize her, her honor, responsibility, and tradition did not allow her to offend such a great man, such a person who was so kind to Demacia.
Although she did it unintentionally and out of a sense of responsibility, that was not her excuse for herself.
"Self-discipline makes you strong, and diligence makes you strong."
This is the family motto of the Crownguard family. As the next leader of the Crownguard family, Tiana Crownguard must strictly demand herself.
"Don't worry so much, Miss Crown Guard, I'm not as rigid as you think. In fact, I'm not very serious.
Maybe Poppy gave you the wrong impression, but most Yodles are actually not like her. She is more like you Demacians because of Oren's influence."
Reed smiled and waved his hand, signaling Tiana Crownguard not to be so serious. He didn't care about the offense just now.
"Your magnanimity is as glorious as your legend."
Regarding Reed's words, Tiana Crownguard only captured the meaning of forgiveness, so she simply stepped aside and continued to act as a guard without saying a word.
"..."
So, it is true that Demacians and Yodels are two extremes. One side is serious and strictly prohibits magic, while the other side is lively and free-spirited, and is born with magical power.
The fact that they can talk here calmly now is really thanks to what Reed did hundreds of years ago.
"Master Reed, I am very interested in the international trade you mentioned before, but there is one thing I need to confirm with you. Are the technologies you mentioned do not contain any magical elements?"
After chatting for a while and getting closer to each other, King Jarvan III of Demacia immediately got down to business.
He was really interested in what Reed wrote in the letter, otherwise he would not have insisted on inviting Reed to the capital of Demacia to discuss it in detail.
Jarvan III was very worried. He was worried that the magical technologies written by Reed, just like the technologies of Piltover and Zaun, were all achieved by magic or alchemy.
If that is really the case, then this international trade matter will probably be aborted and unable to proceed.
The common people of Demacia cannot accept it, nor can the noble council, nor the magic seekers, nor even the mages imprisoned in prison.
If Demacia didn't hate magic, it wouldn't be Demacia. That is one of the traditions they inherited, and it is one of the most important traditions. It is a tradition that has existed in Demacia since the founding of the country.
.
For Demacians who admire traditions and are proud of these traditions, even the king has no right to change the tradition of "forbidden magic".
So if Reed's technologies were also mixed with magic, then Jarvan III would have to reject his trade request, even if he really wanted to accept it.
