Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 208: Polar Connection, Gift from Twin Cities
Outside Sejuani's house -

Donna didn't know that Li Ke had followed her mother Zhan, but even if she knew, Donna would not follow him, because she was squeezed in the crowd with shining eyes, holding a row of freshly sealed lamb chops in her right hand, and a packaging bag with about eight skewers of sausages in her left hand. The silly child was drooling and refused to let go.

"Don't do this, don't do this!"

The priest of the tribe shouted loudly. The old priest had a ruddy complexion, which was different from his previous image of being hunched over and weak. At this moment, the old priest was in good health. He almost grabbed the shoulders of the Winter Claw warriors, climbed on them, and stepped on their shoulders to squeeze into the center.

"Don't fight over it! Don't fight over it! Everyone in the tribe has a share of this food, get out of the way! Let's count the food!"

A group of old priests shouted loudly in the back!

Donna heard the old priest's voice, but she pretended not to hear it and stuffed the packaged sausage into her arms. She then puffed her mouth, reached her hand in hard, and then dug it out with force.

Dozens of containers were already surrounded by Winter Claw warriors, with thousands of people scrambling for food. The scene was naturally extremely chaotic.

"Stop touching me! Who are you? Are you touching the packaging bag or my penis?"

"Fuck, who grabbed my ass!"

The warriors of Winter Claw were completely unable to calm down. In the tribe, the status of the priests was higher than that of the warriors, second only to the War Mother. They were a group of people who found the direction for the tribe. Sometimes, these old guys could even decide the decision of the War Mother. Although if Sejuani insisted on her own way, they would follow Sejuani.

But in the Winter Claw tribe, where Sejuani has the final say, these old guys have the right to reject the War Mother, which shows that their status is really high.

But what’s the use?

At this moment, no one really cares about them!

"Hmm~"

Wei, who was standing outside the crowd, hummed a little tune and watched the scene in front of her with a smile. She watched for a while, then patted Ike on the shoulder.

Ike was dressed warmly, with a woolen sweater on top of his law enforcement officer's coat, and a girl wearing goggles and a thick cotton jacket was standing next to Ike. It was Zeli. Her green hair like fireworks squeezed out of the goggles, and she was staring at the scene in front of her.

"Don't you need to take care of it?" Zeli said after thinking for a while. She always felt that if this continued, there would be a stampede.

"What's up?" Wei said with a smile. She stretched and looked at the house in the distance. It seemed that Li Ke had just gone to that place.

Thinking of this, Wei said to Ike, "Let's go see what Li Ke and Jinx are doing."

Ike hesitated, then nodded.

After a while, Wei, Ekko, and Zelie came out of the house, and then they heard Jinx's voice.

"What a joke!"

"Be careful or I'll blow you to death!"

When Wei heard Jinx's angry voice, she raised her eyebrows, wondering what was wrong with her sister.

Reaching out and pulling aside the animal-skin curtain, Wei walked in, and this was the scene she saw.

A woman taller than Caitlyn was looking at Jinx with a frown, while Jinx was hugged by Rick around the waist, and was making a threatening gesture towards the tall woman, spitting out dirty words. Well, it was the common language familiar to all Zaun people.

In addition to these three people, there was a man with long hair. He was shorter than Vander, but his body was as fat as Vander. He lowered his head, pretending not to see anything in front of him.

"What's the matter?" Wei whistled and asked.

She then looked at the tall woman a few more times. This woman was quite pretty, especially her cold temperament. For a moment, she looked a bit like Caitlin. But the difference was that Caitlin was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but this woman was different. She looked like a large human-shaped ice sculpture. The coldness in her eyes made it impossible to look her in the eye.

"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding." Li Ke looked at Wei with a helpless look, seeking help.

Wei saw through it and looked at Li Ke with amusement. She stood prettily with one hand on her waist and said loudly: "Will there be a day when you ask me to help you?"

Even so, Wei still walked up to Jinx, rolled her eyes at her, and said, "Okay, Jinx, stop being unreasonable."

"I'm making a fuss?" When Jinx heard Vi say such things to her, she was so angry that she spat on Vi's face.

"!" While wiping her saliva, Wei looked at Jinx with a grin.

Jinx felt guilty after realizing that she had gone too far, but she immediately looked at Wei stubbornly and said, "She said she wanted to marry Li Ke. It's fine if you don't speak up for me, but how can you say that I'm being unreasonable?"

Wei was stunned when she heard this, then looked at Li Ke who was holding Jinx, and Li Ke nodded.

This is not Jinx's fault.
She is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate the slightest bit of grievance. You can call her double-standard or unreasonable, but Jinx has always been like this. The environment of Zaun, past experiences, and Hilko vandel's pampering have shaped Jinx's character. If you expect her to be reasonable, you might as well expect Mordekaiser to explode and die in the underworld tomorrow.

"Is there anything wrong with what I did?" Sejuani's voice sounded. She looked at everyone in confusion and continued, "A handsome man is only worthy of a strong man. I can see that, Jinx, you and Li Ke are in a relationship, right? But it doesn't matter. Li Ke can be my blood ally and still be with you."

"?" Li Ke looked at Sejuani with a twitching mouth.

No, sister, do we really have to play so extravagantly?
Blood alliance means husband and wife, so what does Sejuani mean by this?

What you mean is that Li Ke can be her husband while dating Jinx, right?
Let’s not talk about whether Li Keneng can accept it or not, let’s just talk about Jinx, there is absolutely no way she can accept such a thing.

After hearing this, Wei figured out what happened, but she was not Jinx. After thinking for a while, she looked at Sejuani and asked suspiciously, "Are you Freljord people so barbaric?"

"What do you mean?" Sejuani was stunned.

"What I mean is, they are already a couple, why are you trying to steal their man?"

"Aren't men meant to be robbed?" Sejuani frowned again.

"Those are your Freljord rules, not our Zaun rules." Wei said speechlessly. She looked at Sejuani and added, "Don't impose your rules on outsiders, just like we won't break your rules."

Sejuani seemed to understand.

What Wei meant was that the outside world was different from the Freljord. It wasn't necessarily a male-dominated society, but the relationship between husband and wife was definitely different from that in the Freljord.

Seeing this, Sejuani stopped talking.

If she were facing someone else, she would continue to act like a bandit, but she couldn't do that when facing Li Ke. This winter, the Winter Claw will not lose men because the warriors don't have to risk their lives to go out hunting in the severe winter. In the future, the Winter Claw will have to rely on Li Ke to exchange for supplies to survive the winter. Therefore, in the end, Li Ke seems to be even stronger than her.

Respecting the strong is in the nature of the Freljord people.

"Let's talk about the important things, okay, Jinx." The big sister is the big sister. Wei has been the big sister for many years. In addition, she has been a sewer law enforcer in Zaun for so long that she has long been good at dealing with all kinds of troublesome things. After all, there are no big things in Zaun now, but there are still a lot of small things and interpersonal disputes, which are really a big deal.

Don't think that just because Zaun has undergone reforms and changes, the quality of the people has improved significantly. Compared with Piltover, the temper and brutality of the people of Zaun are ingrained in their bones. The word "civilized" does not even appear in the city-state of Zaun.

After Li Ke let Jinx go, she sat in a corner angrily, with her back to everyone, her head down, and no one knew what she was thinking. Li Ke also looked at Wei and asked, "Did you bring the documents?"

"Hey, where's Ike?" Wei pouted.

Ike, who had been watching the show for a while, came up and handed a stack of sealed documents to Li Ke. Li Ke took them, opened them and took a look.

Well, no problem.

Li Ke asked Silko to prepare this document, which contained the various rules of the friendly alliance between the Twin Cities and the Winter's Claw. It basically meant that the Twin Cities would support the Winter's Claw, but the Twin Cities' contribution would not be in vain.

The Twin Cities did not come to the Winter Claw specifically to help alleviate poverty. The document detailed what the Twin Cities needed the Winter Claw to do, such as collecting special minerals, such as special magical products such as True Ice Fragments, as well as various beast furs, handicrafts, and local vegetation, etc. Another thing is that the Twin Cities will invite some Winter Claw people to study and provide jobs and corresponding wages.

But Sejuani couldn't understand the Valoran language. You know, being able to speak and being able to recognize words are two different concepts.

Therefore, Li Ke asked Zeli to read it to Sejuani, and Sejuani listened very carefully.

Udyr behind her no longer pretended to be invisible, but followed along to listen to the treaty.

After a while, Zeli finished reading and stood aside prettily.

Li Ke looked at Sejuani and asked, "How is it?"

"It's very good, but I don't quite understand, Li Ke, why do you want to do this? Is there any benefit for you to do this?" Sejuani looked at Li Ke and asked with some confusion.

This contract was too good for the Winter's Claw, so good that it could be said that the Twin Cities were given to the Winter's Claw for free, but precisely because of this, Sejuani did not understand.

There is no free lunch in this world. Sejuani understood this truth when she was very young. There is no kindness without reason in this world. This is also the truth her mother taught her.

As for Li Ke and his Zaun, they were good, so good that none of the conditions were something Sejuani could refuse, but they were also so good that she didn't dare to agree to them.

She was worried that there was a conspiracy.

"Well, of course there are benefits." Li Ke nodded and replied.

He did not hide it from Sejuani and said, "Before the Winter's Claw, I had already established diplomatic relations with Ionia, Noxus, and Bilgewater. After you send the Noxian prisoners back, Noxian commander Swain will sign a treaty of cooperation with the two cities. Ionia has already signed it, and Bilgewater is still a little complicated, but we will also establish diplomatic relations with the two cities in the future."

"Going west, Demacia is also our target. We will also establish diplomatic relations with the small countries along the way."

“Why are the Twin Cities doing this, you ask?”

Li Ke took a breath and said seriously: "For the future, Sejuani, what I, my city-state and I are doing now is for the future."

"The future?" Sejuani was still confused.

But behind her, Udyr showed up.

He looked at Li Ke and said in a deep voice: "Have you had contact with Lissandra?"

"He came to me last night." Li Ke replied with a smile.

Jinx in the corner shuddered, and her white ears moved among her blue hair.

Udyr continued: "So, what did you and Lissandra say?"

"Something you know, Udyr. Something about what lies beneath the Howling Abyss."

After hearing this, Udyr stopped talking, but reached out and patted Sejuani on the back. He closed his eyes and lowered his head so that no one could see his expression.

But at this moment, Udyr's heart was in turmoil.

Does Li Ke, an outsider, want to unite Runeterra and fight against the Void?

However, that is a problem that even Ornn cannot solve. Can humans alone really do it?

Udyr didn't know, but he was willing to give it a try. He had always known the secrets beneath the Howling Abyss, but even though he knew it, Udyr could do nothing about it, because it was now difficult for him to even help Sejuani lead the Winter Claw through the winter. He couldn't even deal with Volibear, and could only watch Sejuani fall step by step into the big net woven by the bear people.

However, the appearance of Li Ke gave Udyr a glimmer of hope.

If the witch really has an agreement with Li Ke, and Volibear turns against her in the future, I, plus the figure behind Li Ke, plus Lissandra, ha, they may not be a match for the Bear God!
Thinking of this, Udyr signaled Sejuani to agree.

After receiving Udyr's hint, Sejuani no longer hesitated and nodded.

"Okay, I agree."

"How do I sign this contract?" Sejuani looked at Li Ke and asked.

Li Keyi smiled and waved.

Zeli quickly took out an ink pad from her arms and came to Sejuani.

"Just use this, press it on, and then print it on the paper." Zeli said to Sejuani.

Sejuani hummed, reached out her hand, pressed her thumb on the red ink, and then covered the paper with it.

Li Ke saw this and said with a smile:
"Welcome to the Twin Cities Federation, Sejuani. I will introduce you to the current head of the Twin Cities Federation later."

Li Ke smiled and said that he was very happy at the moment because he had officially taken the first step in what he was going to do.

Later, he would contact Janna and ask her to find several other leaders of the Twin Cities Federation and hold a private meeting.

Well, I don’t know what the scene will be like when Sejuani and Lissandra meet.

He is no longer committed to building Zaun and Piltover.

What Li Ke wants now is to connect the whole world together.

Are there any places that are not connected yet?

Um.
Shurima, Demacia, Targon.

Li Ke narrowed his eyes and his thoughts began to drift.
