lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Vladimir answered patiently.

Maura paused her brush and turned to look at Vladimir. "But your life is eternal..."

"Under normal circumstances, we both have eternal life, but remember the part I hid from you?"

"I've been waiting for you to tell me yourself."

"I should know what my former monster master was."

"I've heard from others that they are called darkspawn."

"Yes, I originally thought that those 'gods' who descended from the sky could wipe out the Darkin forever, but in recent decades I have discovered other clues.

"The Darkspawn haven't been wiped out. They're no longer content to remain trapped in these cold vessels. If any of them manage to return to this world, they won't let us go."

Fear was in Vladimir's scarlet eyes. "I know how they view me and other humans. They won't allow a dog that turned against its master to survive in this world."

Maura's expression changed. "Is this why you always go on expeditions? Do you want to kill them in advance?"

"Kill them? No, you overestimated me and I underestimated them...

"I might be able to replace one of them at the cost of my life, but that's already my limit. If we want to truly defeat them, we need to find a powerful helper!"

Chapter 368 Two Cities

"A horrific explosion once occurred here, and the aftermath of the explosion caused the collapse of the underground rock layer, splitting the two once connected cities into two.

"One of them was lucky enough to escape the collapse and still stands above the horizon. It is Piltover, now known as the City of Progress.

"Another unfortunate city fell into the abyss below the horizon as the rock layer collapsed. It became the infamous sewer city, which is now Zaun..."

The sick young man is named Blue.

He was standing on the deck at this moment, telling the origin and history of the destination they were about to arrive at like a tour guide.

Ryan echoed from time to time, not for himself, but to satisfy Sindra's curiosity and Blue's sense of accomplishment.

The former was obviously curious but didn't know how to ask the question, so Ryan had to do it for him.

As for the latter... Ryan initially thought he was a selfless, flattering, twisted personality who placed the meaning of life on others.

But at an earlier point in time, Blue also briefly introduced his past.

He was once one of the heirs of a kingdom. The Pan-Valoran continent is the 'protagonist' of this world, but it is not the whole world.

There were many small kingdoms on the more distant lands. Ancient Kamavia was once the best among them, but it completely disappeared from history with the last generation of kings.

And Bru's kingdom lacked the size and history of ancient Kamavia. He said it was just a territory with a population of a few hundred thousand and shouldn't even be called a country.

But this concept was only born after he came to the Valoran continent. When he was still the heir to the kingdom, that territory was his whole world.

The subsequent plot is not bizarre, but rather a monotonous power struggle. Blue, as the loser in the struggle, is forced into a desperate situation, but when he is about to die... Vladimir appears in front of him.

He gave Blue a new life and also let Blue see a new world.

In Blue's words, an existence that can give you life and a new world at the same time is far greater than the so-called God.

From then on, he regarded Vladimir as his true 'Lord', and after learning about Vladimir's past, the resonance caused by similar experiences made Blue further strengthen his faith.

Blue's experience made Ryan realize that he was not without his own personality, but his experience made him look at the world from a different perspective than most ordinary people.

His situation is similar to Sindra...

On this luxurious cruise ship, perhaps I am the "extreme minority".

Ryan raised his head and looked at the lines in the distance.

That was the outline of the land, a straight line that was not too flat but continuous, and at a certain point the straight line was suddenly "broken". Far below the horizon, there was a city that looked like it could be swallowed by the sea at any time, but was still struggling to survive.

Large clouds of thick smoke drifted out of the city, like the air that a patient with advanced lung cancer was trying hard to exhale.

Blue followed Ryan's gaze, a touch of emotion appearing on his cheek, "This is the deepest scar the Rune War has left on this world."

"But fortunately, the Rune War is over..." Blue patted the armrest next to him, "The Valoran continent has now entered a rare period of safety."

Compared to major events like the Darkin War and the Rune War that almost swept the entire "world", Noxus's current conquests are like children's petty fights.

“It may not be really safe.”

Ryan frowned as he looked at the Twin Cities getting closer and closer. As the distance grew closer, he began to think about what else he could do after selling the ring...

Several consecutive nights in sage mode allowed him to clearly sift out those blurred fragments from his memory.

Ryan remembered that the second season of Twin Cities had been released before he traveled through time.

But before he could brush his teeth, he had already come into this world.

Fortunately, Ryan has read a lot of analysis...

The clichéd multi-timeline narrative makes this film's reputation worse than the previous one, and the setting of using rune fragments as infinity stones also has many loopholes if you take it seriously.

Having learned the true nature of the rune fragments from Vastaya Xiarui, Ryan was not worried about being suddenly slapped down by a mechanically ascended 'god'.

But he didn't want this simple world to become a complicated one, where the enemy died and came back to life, came back to life and died again. If he killed someone, he would come to this fucked-up world for revenge in another world.

So I have to put more thought into it...

"How much do you know about Hextech?"

Ryan asked Blue.

He first had to determine what kind of 'school' the Twin Cities of this world belonged to.

"Not much..." Blue looked embarrassed.

People who admire magic tend to instinctively reject fake magic like Hextech.

"So how much do you know about the current situation in Piltover and Zaun?"

Ryan asked in a different way.

"I have some understanding of this... The current conflict between Piltover and Zaun is almost unbridgeable. Last month, Zaun's Jinx bombed Piltover's parliament hall with homemade rockets.

"Some MPs died on the spot in the parliament hall, and those who managed to escape did not dare to speak out even if they had other ideas at this juncture.

"Almost half of Piltover's citizens believe that Piltover needs to teach those dangerous Zaunites a lesson..."

Bruce talked freely.

Ryan was not interested in anything else; he already knew what he wanted to know.

The timeline of this world seems to continue from the end of the first season.

So no matter whether the Victor in this world is the one in the second season... I have time to change his and this world's fate.

Mechanical ascension is not advisable...

Blindly relying on Hextech created from rune fragments to transform the world is not advisable...

It is even more undesirable to use the power of Noxus to deal with the enemy.

If Zaun and Piltover want to change their current adversity, they need a change in thinking and cognition.

After all, the disagreements and disputes they are experiencing are not uncommon, and any country in any world will go through this stage.

So where do I start?

Lion's eyes shifted back and forth between Piltover and Zaun.

After a moment... his gaze stopped at Piltover.

Compared to those half-witted alchemist barons in Zaun, at least the Piltover councillors are better at communicating.

In every film and television work, the plight of the lower-class people is often more likely to gain the audience's recognition and empathy.

But in reality, if you want to solve a problem, a top-down approach will be more efficient.

Ryan turned to look at Blue, "Do you know Councilman Tallis?"

-

It will not follow the plot of the second season. It will combine the background story to give a purer story. Brothers, if you have any ideas, you can share them.

Chapter 369 Are we good people?

"Everyone who knows Piltover probably knows Senator Tallis, but unfortunately, Senator Tallis probably doesn't know me..."

Blue rarely made a joke, because he did not sense the temper of those nobles from Ryan.

On the contrary, after knowing his own experiences, his attitude became more gentle.

This subtle change could not be hidden from Blue, who was always trying to figure out people's minds, but he did not dare to overstep his bounds... This joke had already made his heart beat faster.

"That's a shame."

Ryan was unaware of Blue's inner thoughts.

No matter how hard the nobles try to disguise themselves, it is difficult for them to be truly down-to-earth, and no matter how hard ordinary people try to get close to them, it is unlikely that they will develop the bad habits of the nobles in a short period of time.

"If you want to contact Councillor Tallis, I can do it for you."

Blue suddenly said at this time.

"Do you have a channel?"

"Not yet, but I can contact the Noxians in Piltover first... One of their councilors is one of ours!"

From this sentence, Ryan could tell that Blue only had a superficial understanding of Piltover.

If he really knew the inside story, he would know that the Noxian senator had long since become a complete Piltover man.

But it is indeed a channel...

The arrival of the Wolf Mother in Piltover alone can cause the entire Piltover Council to be in a state of panic, so there is no reason for these councilors to dare to offend the Scarlet Order.

I'm not competing with them for control of parliament.

"How long will it take?"

Ryan asked.

"Three days at most." Blue patted his chest. "You can use this time to wander around and experience the uniqueness of the City of Progress."

"I will..." Ryan remembered his original purpose. "By the way, do you know which auction house is the largest in Piltover?"

"What do you have for auction?"

"this…"

Ryan casually took out the Doran Ring, and the faint light made the plain ring look extremely mysterious.

Blue's eyes lit up instantly, "Master Dolan's work!"

"Can you tell?"

“Yes… My father once had a similar ring. It didn’t look as exquisite as yours, but it was the most precious piece in the treasury.

"Especially since Master Dolan hasn't appeared in many years, and many people are saying he might be dead somewhere, that makes any piece that survives even more valuable."

Blue couldn't take his eyes off the ring. "Are you sure you want to sell it?"

"I'm short of money." Ryan said frankly

This kind of frankness made Blue, who was good at flattery, unable to figure out how to respond for a long time.

It took him a while to come back to his senses. He seemed a little unconvinced, but he still said, "I'll contact them for you."

A galloping carriage set off from the border of Noxus, and the horses pulling the carriage looked different from ordinary horses.

Scarlet blood vessels emerged on its hooves, muscles, and other parts, like a twitching steam engine, giving this strange horse a speed far beyond its peers.

Inside the scarlet bat-shaped carriage, Vladimir was looking into the distance.

The ends of her brown curly hair were scattered on the cushion of the carriage. Maura was sitting cross-legged, leaning against the carriage, looking at Vladimir, whose expression changed.

"You seem to be worried about something?" Her voice was like gentle spring water, "Aren't we heading to a good place now?

"If all goes well... perhaps you won't have to worry about the disasters that may happen in the future."

“But what if it doesn’t go well?”

Vladimir withdrew his gaze and said, "I have never paid attention to that city before, but when I looked over there, I found that the situation there is more complicated than I imagined.

"The concerns of those old men within the empire about this city were not without reason. If the new technological weapons are successfully developed, they may truly change the landscape of the continent."
