"Most people have already forgotten me. Even if they do remember me, it's just a bad name maliciously slandered by others." Morgana said calmly, "But when that day comes, I don't think anyone will..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Lin noticed her expression change and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Morgana pursed her lips and frowned, walked straight into the bedroom, opened the window and looked to the west.

Li Lin quickly followed her and looked into the distance along her line of sight.

A crowd of people had gathered in the magnificent square. It seemed that someone was standing in front of a statue of four soldiers facing the four directions, giving a passionate speech.

Li Lin noticed that Morgana's face was gloomy and ugly, and immediately sent a drone to fly to the scene quickly.

He was an unprepossessing middle-aged man, about 30 years old.

He was wearing an old gray-brown cotton coat and warm trousers, deerskin boots on his feet, and an aristocratic dueling rapier on his waist.

At first glance, this man looked like a fallen aristocrat.

Li Lin looked confused as the nano-material on his collar climbed up his neck and transformed into a pair of headphones fixed on his ears. The drone in the distance transmitted all the sounds from the scene back to him.

"So, that was a fallen angel! The Winged Protector is always our Holy Kyle! We must uphold her glory and truth and enforce the law meticulously!"

The middle-aged man clenched his fists with an indignant expression, easily stirring up the emotions of the dozens of people surrounding him.

Soon, excited citizens began to respond:

"Right! We don't need a Fallen to lead us!"

"Law is supreme, and the fire of justice will burn away all evil!"

"We need righteous angels, not fallen angels!"

“…”

The middle-aged man's words transmitted back by the drone were not complete, and Li Lin did not hear as much as Morgana.

But even so, it is easy to complete what he said before by connecting it with the comments of the people.

They simply opposed the return of Morgana, the "fallen one", so they gathered in the Grand Square, trying to convey the "public grievances" to the king in this way.

But in Li Lin's opinion, this sudden incident was too strange.

"That's Kayle's follower. After hundreds of years, there are still people following her." Morgana's voice was extremely cold.

Li Lin's expression changed from confusion to solemnity. "Don't you think this is strange?"

He narrowed his eyes and continued to look at the statue in the center of the magnificent square.

Although the guards of Dawn Castle quickly arrested the middle-aged man who deliberately provoked the public emotions and dispersed the angry crowd.

But bad news spreads fast, and this incident, especially the "slander" of Morgana's name, will be known to the entire Xiongdu people within a few hours.

Li Lin stared at the silent Morgana's profile and continued, "As far as I know, those who believe in Kayle and still sing her name are mainly the Illuminators, but that man is obviously not an Illuminator.

"Not to mention that Kyle hasn't reappeared in hundreds of years. At most, there are fabricated legends describing her return. I don't believe that there are still people who believe so 'devoutly' and know so much about the Winged Protector, especially you.

"Besides, we just arrived in Xiongdu yesterday, and you just showed up in front of the nobles last night, and now someone is opposing you...yet your name is basically gone from any record. How did that person learn of the 'corrupted' reputation you were once slandered with?"

Morgana was stunned for a moment and took a deep breath. "Are you trying to say that some nobles are secretly plotting something?"

"Obviously."

"But our main goal isn't to abolish the Forbidden Magic Codex, so why would they take me..."

Morgana reacted immediately before she finished her words, "They want to use me as a breakthrough point to divert people's attention?"

Or worse.

Li Lin rubbed his chin and guessed, "That's probably right... If they just made it clear that their goal was to ban magic, that would be too naive."

He quickly thought of Eldred, who had behaved a little strangely last night, and frowned slightly.

It is still early in the original timeline of the Demacia Mage Rebellion.

However, now with the intervention of himself and Morgana, those nobles who opposed the king's abolition of the Forbidden Magic Code might have lost their patience, especially Eldred.

Li Lin hesitated for a moment and sent the invisible drone floating above the magnificent square to the residence of the Mianwei family.

In the following time, he had to keep a close eye on Eldred's movements to prevent this guy from doing anything beyond his expectations.

Recalling what Jean said about running into demon hunters and Noxians hanging out together, Li Lin couldn't help but clench his fists.

"The storm is coming..."
