Jarvan III nodded affirmatively, indicating that what Li Lin said was indeed correct.
"But even though the ancient people of Demacia disliked magic, it's undeniable that quite a few of them possessed magical talent. At least that's what Morgana told me."
It is obvious whether the ancestors who founded Demacia knew magic or not. The fact that the first king, Oren, was able to wield the holy hammer that Poppy is using now is enough to prove this.
However, this is not recorded in Demacia's books, and even if there are relevant descriptions in the history books of other countries, they will not be recognized by the Demacians.
Therefore, the best way is to bring out Morgana as a "protective umbrella", at least to shut up Tiana who does not allow others to stigmatize Demacia.
Li Lin glanced at her standing next to the king.
Sure enough, although her face looked a little ugly, she still didn't scold herself.
Li Lin then continued, "Later, the Winged Protector Sisters arrived with their father, Ziram, in this infant country and gathered a group of believers, many of whom knew magic.
"Later, the Winged Sisters parted ways due to differences in their ideologies, but the battle between them destroyed most of the city-state.
"To prevent this from happening again, the new king ordered the establishment of the Demon Seekers Society and issued a decree completely banning the use of magic within Demacia."
"That's true." Jarvan III raised an eyebrow, his voice filled with surprise. "You actually know so much?"
"I have always loved learning. I am familiar with the history of various countries, and even the declining Shurima Empire." Li Lin replied with a smile.
At this moment, Tiana finally couldn't help herself and asked coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Li Lin shrugged, "It's actually very simple. Magical talent can be inherited. Although the former king of Demacia banned magic, he didn't kill all citizens who could use magic.
"This has led to the emergence of some gifted magical talents among their descendants from time to time, and is also one of the reasons why magic in Demacia persists despite repeated bans."
"Ridiculous!" Tiana retorted, and immediately looked at the king, "Your Majesty..."
"Actually, I think what Li Lin said is right."
The king's answer shocked Tiana, and also made Jarvan IV, Xin Zhao, and Barrett show different expressions on their faces.
Li Lin could tell that they were actually quite opposed to the Forbidden Magic Codex, so he quickly took the opportunity to continue, "Although I don't understand magic, I can tell from everyone's attitude towards Shyvana along the way."
He took a deep breath, looked at Jarvan IV, and then looked at Xin Zhao behind the king.
"The people of Demacia fear magic more than they hate it... This applies not only to the common people, but also to those who can practice magic. This is the main contradiction in Demacia right now.
"We've already encountered the fear demon Fiddlesticks in a border town. Although it has been sealed by Zuo Yin, we can learn from it the consequences of extreme fear."
Li Lin's words caused Jarvan III to ponder.
The Hall of Valor was silent for a long time before he pondered, "So... what are your thoughts?"
"This is purely my personal opinion. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me."
Li Lin bowed slightly, then expressed his final thoughts: "Magic, Demacians, and reproduction come together. Instead of banning them completely, it is better to formulate comprehensive laws to properly utilize them.
"The people are the foundation of a nation. Only in this way can we truly unite all the people of the country, maintain long-term social stability, and ensure that Demacia can be passed down from generation to generation, and even last forever...isn't that right?"
