"What?!" Now it was Jarvan IV's turn to be shocked. "Are you telling the truth?"
"I've done some relevant research, though not a lot." Li Lin nodded heavily, "But the clues revealed between the lines of Andel's writing all point to this demon of fear."
Jarvan IV stroked his slightly bearded chin, his expression serious and hesitant, "In the legends of Demacia, there is indeed a record of a fear demon, but it has disappeared for hundreds of years and has not appeared again.
"Moreover, most legends about this demon have only been passed down orally. Even the royal library of Dawn Castle only contains a few descriptions, and even its real name is not recorded.
"If you ask me, this legend, or all demon legends, might be made up by people based on a certain person or thing..."
"No, Your Highness, demons are real. I have fought demons before."
Facing Jarvan IV's stunned expression, the nano armor on Li Lin's hand transformed, projecting the image of the Eternal Nightmare, Nocturne, in the air.
"People call it Nocturne, but its true name is Nightmare, an offshoot of the emotion 'fear'. It is a demon that spreads nightmares to people and devours their fear. It was born in the Shadow Magic War at the end of the Rune Wars."
"So it's called Nightmare..." Jarvan IV gasped. "I've seen records of it as well, but just like Terror, they're rare. They only say it originated during the Rune Wars."
"Because the information about demons has been deliberately erased, people must forget them so as not to bring disaster upon themselves."
Li Lin withdrew his hand and said solemnly, "For ordinary demons, you only need to call out their real names to expose their weaknesses, but to defeat them, you still need considerable strength, and knowing magic is the best choice.
"At that time, Nocturne targeted a professor at our Piltover University. Our headmaster, Heimerdinger, used a device he had invented that allowed people to travel into the spiritual realm, allowing me to defeat him in the spiritual realm."
"You actually... faced and defeated the demon?"
Jarvan IV no longer knew what words to use to describe his feelings.
"It's just an ordinary demon." Li Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head. "As long as we know their true names, they are nothing to worry about... But this ancient demon is different. What's more, it is the original demon."
Even if you bring Galio here, you may not be able to defeat it...
Li Lin added in his heart.
Jarvan IV turned his back to Li Lin, his hands on the table, lost in thought.
The room fell into silence for a long time.
After more than five minutes, he finally spoke: "What if... Andel is not facing a demon, but just an evil wizard who is good at necromancy?"
Damn it!
Li Lin couldn't help but feel anxious, "Your Highness!"
"Since Andel has come to me for help, as a prince of Demacia, I must help my subjects in need...
"Besides, it threatens not only the lives of Andel's wife and daughter, but also the lives of hundreds of people in Hengfeng Village."
Jarvan IV turned around and looked at Li Lin with a helpless expression on his face.
"You underestimate the demon! Not to mention that chanting the original demon's true name is completely useless, even if it were useful, I have no confidence that I can defeat it."
"That's a problem, but I didn't say we were going to fight this demon, did I?" Jarvan IV chuckled. "Don't you have a drone that can turn invisible?"
Li Lin probably guessed what he meant. "You want to use my drone to investigate the situation. If you find that it is indeed a demon, you want to organize the evacuation of the villagers of Hengfeng Village?"
"Indeed, my duty does not allow me to abandon them." Jarvan IV nodded, then looked at him with pleading eyes, "So... could you please help me?"
…
…
In desperation, Li Lin finally agreed to Jarvan IV's request.
Although this is a very "suicidal" behavior, Jarvan IV has made up his mind. It seems that he must go to Hengfeng Village to check the situation, so he has no choice but to go with him.
As the orthodox royal blood of Demacia, Jarvan IV cares about his subjects. This is also the foundation for the Lightshield family to establish its regime. Kings of all generations are well aware of this.
And according to the original world line, it is impossible for Jarvan IV to have any interaction with Fiddlesticks.
After all, as a defeated army, they were attacked by the giant dragon Iva and could hardly protect themselves. It was naturally impossible for Andel to ask him for help.
It is very likely that Andel will be devoured by Fiddlesticks in the subsequent process of searching for his wife and daughter.
But due to the butterfly effect, the two people who originally had no intention of working together had an intersection.
The changes made must have consequences, and Li Lin must help Jarvan IV overcome this new difficulty.
But Li Lin also has someone to rely on.
Zoe had given him a marble made of magic power before, but it was certainly not the star that was stolen from the Star-Forging Dragon King and made into a marble for playing games.
At the critical moment, Li Lin can use this "magic marble" to summon Zoe, who is now nowhere to be found.
But this little girl was very unreliable, and he knew very well that he could not rely on her completely.
At this time, it was crucial for Morgana to give him the ability to summon her black feathers within Demacia.
If the drone can also attract Fiddlesticks, it would be best to call Zoe.
The previous Twilight Protoss, Maisha, stole the Demon Key from Fiddlesticks. Even if the human body cannot unleash the full power of the Protoss, Zoe can at least repel it, or at worst, she can take everyone away and escape.
