Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 151: The First Land, Ionia

In Zaun's parliament building, Hilco signed his name on a piece of paper and handed it to Renata beside him.

"Submit this to the parliament and ask other members to approve it. I want to make sure that all members approve it by the evening."

He said to Renata.

Renata took it and turned away with an expressionless face. She was now completely accustomed to this secretarial job.

She was clearly told to become an official, but after two years, she was still working as Hilco's secretary. If it weren't for her career in finance and diplomacy, Renata would have really made a fuss.

This is not how you draw a pie in the sky, right?
But Renata really had no other choice.

In fact, when it comes down to it, being able to work beside Hilco is a good thing for her, because Hilco is the most powerful councilor in Zaun except for Janna, which even Li Ke cannot compare to.

After all, Li Ke is said to be the number one congressman, but in fact he is just a mascot. It is not to say that Li Ke has no power. In fact, his power is very large, because Hilco is working for him, but Li Ke is too Buddhist.

After all, no one knows where to go to play now.

"After being with Jinx for so long, has she turned into a little lunatic?" After Renata left, Hilco rubbed his brows speechlessly, and then burst out laughing.

They started making trouble on the third day after they left Zaun. The first thing they did was to ask Zaun to sponsor a female pirate?
Hilko had heard of Sarah's reputation. After all, some time ago, a group of Bilgewater people proposed to him, hoping to cooperate and eliminate Sarah, because many of the goods they traded with Zaun were robbed by Sarah on the way, saying that she was destroying the friendship between Zaun and Bilgewater.

But Hilko ignored it, because that would harm the interests of Bilgewater, not Zaun. I will pay you as much money as the goods you bring to Bilgewater. As for the goods being robbed on the way, what does that have to do with Zaun?
What's more, Zaun now doesn't need the friendship of Bilgewater at all. Hilko is a cold-blooded and realistic person. After leaving aside Jinx, his weak point, anyone and anything can become a stepping stone for Zaun, including the people of Bilgewater who have helped him.

But now, he signed the agreement because it was the order of the Lord of Zaun.

If Li Ke is away and can't even decide on such a matter, then it's not just Li Ke's face that will be lost, but also Zuan's face.

"It's the third day." Hilco shook his head and sighed. He didn't know when he would see his daughter again after this trip.

------

In Bilgewater, Sarah received a reply on the morning of the third day after she sent out her people. Zaun agreed to sponsor her and had sent a batch of weapons and resources.

In a corner of the slaughter dock, Sarah was leading a large group of people, looking at the batches of supplies transported from the big ship with bright eyes. She walked onto the ship, looking at the weapons that she didn't know how to use, as well as the ship full of food, drink and money, and felt excited, which made her attractive face flushed, and she was gritting her teeth and her body was trembling.

To be honest, Sarah had thought that Zaun would give her money, food, and even glimmering wine and potions.
But she really never thought that Zaan would even give her weapons!
Weapons are much more valuable than money!
"He also said that Zaun is not rich. How can this still be called not rich? This is just the first batch of supplies!"

When Raven heard Sarah's voice, he excitedly picked up a gun and pulled the trigger towards the sea. The muzzle of the gun shook and a bullet shot into the sea rapidly. Raven tried to pull the trigger again, but there was no need to pull the trigger!

This weapon is really high-tech in Bilgewater, right?

After all, most of the firearms on the island now still require loading gunpowder and pulling bolts!
"Captain, there are two more guns here!"

"What cannon?" Sarah asked immediately.

Two men came over excitedly holding cannons. Sarah took a look and saw that they were cannons from Zaun. They looked like old models as they were covered with dust. But even if they were old models, they should be better than the cannons used in Bilgewater. After all, the cannons in Bilgewater were assembled with scrap metal and then stuffed with an iron ball and called cannons.

explode?

Bilgewater hasn’t developed this kind of technology tree!

Therefore, Sarah excitedly walked to the front of the two cannons with her hands on her waist. The two cannons were black in color, with a very long barrel of about 1.5 meters and a barrel width of several centimeters. There were instruction manuals and a pile of boxes next to them, and the boxes contained the shells.

Sarah handed the instruction manual to Raven, who immediately started practicing after reading it.

"First, add the Glimmer Potion as energy, then insert the shells. You can insert up to three shells at a time, and then ignite them."

Raven read the instructions while arranging people to operate the cannon.

At Raven's shout of "ignition" and the sound of "bang!", Sarah unconsciously covered her ears with her hands, watching the cannonballs coming out of the smoke and drawing a beautiful parabola in the air.

It flew a thousand meters away before falling into the water.

"This power, this speed, this range, this is fucking great!" Raven couldn't help but curse.

In the naval battles of Bilgewater, cannons are often used for deterrence, because the Bilgewater cannons are still using iron balls to attack. Due to the weight of the iron balls, their range and accuracy are shockingly low, and they often fail to hit enemy ships from hundreds of meters away.

But this cannon can fire very far!

Just as Raven was thinking this, waves suddenly exploded on the sea in the distance, followed by flames rising above the sea.

The sea is burning?!

At the Slaughterhouse Dock, not only Sarah's people, but a large number of Bilgewater people also saw this scene. With their mouths open and eyes wide open, they stared stupidly at the sea in the distance.

Miss Fortune was already very powerful. She was resourceful, courageous and brave. In two years, she had built up a force on the island that was no weaker than that of the other big guys.

But Sarah has a weakness on Bi Island, that is, she is poor, so poor that many of her subordinates are still using cold weapons.

But now Miss Fortune’s only weakness seems to have been improved?
Sarah was also stunned. She had never expected the shell to explode, let alone catch fire after the explosion!
If this hit another boat, a boat made entirely of wood, this!!!

She didn't know that this was because of the addition of the faint light. The faint light was flammable and was an extremely useful energy source.

As for the explosion, ha, this bomb was developed when Jinx was 15 years old. Isn't it normal for it to explode?
It would be strange if it didn't explode!

What’s even more interesting is that this cannon that made Sarah feel like her cognition had been baptized was actually pointed out to Sarah by Hilco from the corner of the warehouse. It was an outdated weapon in Zaun.

It is a weapon that is not uncommon among the Zaun people.
Looking at the two cannons, Sarah murmured:
"Li Ke, Jinx, how powerful is your Zaun now?"

"Can this kind of weapon be given away as a gift?"

Turning around, she was full of energy and showed a bright smile, "Bring all the weapons onto our ship!"

“Everyone can choose a weapon they like!”

Sarah said, and then looked towards Ionia.

Leek and Jinx left Bilgewater the day before yesterday. Sarah did not try to persuade them to stay. She looked towards Ionia and smiled as she said to herself, "Now, I am more confident that I can attend your wedding."

"My friends, let's see you next year."

Half a month passed in a flash, and during this time, Sarah had become the most powerful and dangerous person in Bilgewater by relying on information spread orally by people on the island.

Because those two cannons were placed on the ship and were guarded by Sarah's men at all times, they posed too great a threat to the "big guys" on the island.

It is said that the firing range of these two guns is several thousand meters. A dock worker said in person that he saw the shells hit a place a thousand meters away, and the explosion burned the sea surface. How could the place higher than the island be a thousand meters higher?

Obviously not. The upper and lower cities of Bilgewater are only a few hundred meters high, which is a miracle on an island. But now, the big shots feel that this miracle is not enough, because it puts them within the attack range of Miss Fortune.

No one would want to suddenly hear a loud noise while sleeping at night, and then fall asleep for no apparent reason. Well, their sleep quality does not need to be that good.

Therefore, ever since the news that Sarah had a batch of new weapons spread, those guys on the island who had sent people to assassinate Sarah and those who had grudges against Sarah all wisely left Bilgewater. Like Gangplank, they were "driven out" of Bilgewater.

Tonight, the night sea breeze brought a cool and unpleasant fishy smell straight to Bilgewater, and the smell could be smelled even high up in the upper city.

In the silent Bilgewater, a shout of "action" was heard from somewhere, and fire burned in the Upper Town. That was Gangplank's territory. Even though he had left Bilgewater, many of his industries and people were still in Bilgewater.

During this period of time, they were really honest, but being honest does not mean that a beautiful lady will not harm them.

Sarah had no psychological burden at all for killing Planck, and she even felt very happy about it.

"boom--"

On the long slope built with broken wood from a broken bridge, at a distance of several hundred meters, Raven pulled the trigger on the gun in his hand, and he accurately hit the man holding a musket in the bunker.

“You dare call yourself a sharpshooter?” Raven grinned and waved his hand. “Put on your gas mask and charge into Gangplank’s bunker!”

"Yes!"

Sarah was also in the crowd, holding two pistols in her hands. She was wearing a coat and a captain's hat. She sneered and conveyed her orders to her men:
"Clear all of Planck's men!"

"Didn't he look down on the cave in the lower city, saying it was a doghouse? Then I will make sure that when he comes back, he can only live in the doghouse in the lower city!"

As Sarah gave the order, a group of people behind her climbed to a higher place with weapons in hand.

----

Ionia, the land of the first birth, is an eastern island continent filled with natural beauty and native magic. Its inhabitants live in various provinces. It is the nature of the Ionians to take things as they come and advocate peace.

But all that changed when Noxus brought the war to Ionia.

In the southern region affected by the war, the locals changed their previous ideas due to anger, and violence gradually grew in this peaceful land, just like the polluted environment on the island after the war.

Yuanjie Village is a small village in Navoli. It is also one of the few southern villages that did not disappear in the Noai War. The village is not big, with only a hundred people living in it. But although this small village is not big, it is full of people of all kinds.

The Ionians who returned here after the war, the Vastayans who were dispersed by their tribes and entered human society, and the Noxians who were left behind in Ionia and failed to return to Noxus.

In the afternoon, the sun shone on the window of the wooden house. A furry little head poked out from the window and looked at the woman standing outside.

He had beautiful dark pink hair, leaning towards red, but when the sunlight hit his hair, it didn't look so red. His pair of fleshy ears were very conspicuous. They were a pair of animal ears, close to his hair, and he was staring at the woman with his big eyes, looking a little depressed.

The woman standing outside the house had beautiful, smooth gray hair that reached her waist. She was not tall, about 1.6 meters, but had a very good figure. She was wearing a linen dress and was looking gently at the little head sticking out of the window.

"Seti, come down quickly, it's time to go deliver something to the owner of the repair shop."

"But mom, I don't want to go!" Seti shouted loudly.

As a teenager, he hated all these social conventions, not to mention that he had no good feelings towards the Ionians.

Seti is not very old, but he knows very well that the people in this place are not good guys.

His peers would bully him just because he looked different from them. His mother would also be ostracized by other women because although she had a pair of big paws, she was incredibly beautiful. Many men would flirt with his mother, and then, those chattering women would secretly blame his mother.

Sett doesn't like any of this!

"Listen, Seti. I told you that you will go to Piltover to study at university in the future. You should learn more from the owner of the repair shop since she has knowledge in this area."

"Mom, she, she is really dangerous." Seti's little face turned into a little bun with worry, and he spoke.

The repair shop in Yuanjie Village was opened some time ago. The owners of the shop are a young couple. The man is gentle and handsome, and the woman is beautiful and cute, but Seti knows that it is just an illusion!
Because it was the only repair shop in the village, and the proprietress's craftsmanship was particularly good and the boss was gentle and polite, the residents of Yuanjie Village accepted the couple and allowed them to open a repair shop at the end of the village, not in the center. It was not because the villagers were stingy, but because the sound of ironwork would be too noisy.

It is precisely because the female boss has excellent skills and knows a lot of strange knowledge that his mother lets him go to the repair shop often, hoping that Sett can learn knowledge from her, lay a solid foundation in advance, and prepare for his future admission to Piltover University.

But. Go to university?
I?
Sett felt distressed.

However, when he saw his mother's eyes drooping and her head lowered slightly, Seti became anxious again: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!"

"Really!"

After shouting to his mother, Seti's little head disappeared through the window, and then the sound of footsteps was heard in the house.

Then, Seti, who was just over 1.5 meters tall, came to his mother with a look of depression on his face.

"Just give me the stuff, and I'll go."

"That's right. You have to be obedient, Seti. This opportunity is rare. Mom hopes that you can live in Piltover and have a good environment in the future."

"I see. I'll go."

"But mom, you really don't know." Seti didn't finish his words because he knew that even if he said it, his mother would not believe it.

But the fact is, the female owner of that shop is really, really scary!
