lol: Bind Syndra at the start

"I thought you had stopped paying attention to the Empire."

"I really don't pay attention to the affairs of the Empire, but someone has extended their claws into it."

"Who?" Maura asked curiously.

"The wolf mother of House Medarda, who had previously exiled her daughter from Noxus, and yet that outcast daughter of the family somehow became a councilor of Piltover.

"The internal struggle within the empire is becoming increasingly intense. Both the military and those old men are busy vying for power and eliminating dissidents... The successive failures of the Midalda family have made them anxious.

"I think the Wolf Mother went to Piltover at this time to seize that new weapon, but what does the Noxian know about calculation? She will probably just use brute force to take it."

"Does this have anything to do with us?" Maura asked puzzledly.

She...or most people in this world have become accustomed to the barbarism of Noxus.

If this group of people suddenly stopped starting wars, that would be a real problem.

"The one who has the ability to help us..." Vladimir was silent for a moment before uttering a word that was almost impossible to say, "He is a good man."

"Good guy?"

"I learned about his deeds from an old friend. In Ionia, he almost became the sun in people's hearts. He walked a long road and shed light on the road.

"And according to Blue's latest report, his kindness isn't limited to Ionia. He helped the people of Bilgewater overthrow the 'tyranny' of the previous Pirate King and even supported a woman who wanted to restore order there."

"Restoring order in Bilgewater?"

Even Maura, who didn't know much about politics and the situation, found it incredible.

"Yes, that's why I say he's a good man." Vladimir said strangely, "And he's a good man with great strength!"

Ordinary good people often die in unclear circumstances, but a powerful good person... can make evil people "turn to good".

"That sounds like a good thing. He's more likely to help us!" Maura suddenly became happy.

But then Vladimir silenced her, "Do you think we are good people?"

"..."

Silence is the carriage at this moment.

Maura looked at Vladimir in front of her, and couldn't even remember a single good thing.

"That's the tricky part. Good people won't help a bad person unless we can become good people too."

Vladimir felt his cheeks stiffen.

He never thought that he would face such a difficult problem when he was hundreds of years old.

But he was unwilling to give up this miracle that he had waited so long for.

He didn't believe in LeBlanc's schemes, but he believed in her vision.

The person who could make the Deceiver willing to win him over at all costs must have extraordinary power!

"I have a rough idea now... He likes to make things better wherever he goes, so we'll follow his lead.

"Zauan and Piltover are like a rotten swamp, and we need to find a way to turn it into an oasis!"

Chapter 370 Wolf Mother

“This is like the only oasis in the technological desert.”

This was Ryan's first impression of Piltover.

When he stepped onto the neatly clean white stone tiles and looked at the neatly arranged houses on both sides of the street... and even those buildings in the distance that were not considered tall buildings in his previous life, but were unusually tall in this world, he felt like he had traveled through an era.

The heartland of Ionia is still in the most primitive farming age. Ryan could not see any signs of "science" there. Magic had already occupied there before the awakening of science. The existence of people like Kunlong and the Restorer made a special ecosystem formed there, which was special and unique in the entire Rune Universe.

As for the port cities near the sea, outsiders did bring them some devices that could be called "machines", but these machines can only be regarded as the embryonic stage of technology and lack a complete system.

This situation continued in Bilgewater. Pirates could indeed loot some rare items from everywhere, but in the daily lives of most people, even steam-powered devices were rare.

Only the Piltover in front of us... Although Hextech has taken a shortcut, it can be said that it has created an alternative technology by standing on the shoulders of magic.

But alternative technology is still technology!

And perhaps because this city-state is still in a relatively young stage, or perhaps because it has been pursuing progress, Ryan felt an "order" here similar to that of his previous life.

This kind of order is rare and not very stable. In the past, it would have been criticized by netizens for being full of darkness and evil, but these did not affect its leading position far ahead of other places in the Rune Universe.

It is unreasonable to look at a city-state without considering its environment and background. After all, it is difficult to have "absolute" in any world, but there can be "relative" in any world.

Blue no longer played the role of tour guide, but went to contact the auction house and those Noxians for Ryan.

So at this moment, Ryan was like an ordinary traveler, walking between the cities of Piltover with his woman.

Sindra was very interested in the surrounding buildings and the huge spherical sculptures placed at the fork in the road as statues. In her previous crazy dreams, there would never be buildings and streets of this shape.

"I like here."

Sindra spoke softly, the atmosphere here made her feel calm.

The warm sunlight shines on the white stone walls, and the golden flower carvings outline brilliant tracks on the buildings.

“It’s a progressive city, but it needs to improve a little bit.”

Ryan was also looking at buildings with unique styles.

Piltover's influence stems not from its military might, but from its forward-thinking and concepts.

But the underlying color of the world will not change because of "thinking". Piltover can gain attention because of its epoch-making thinking.

But it can't defend against other nations—like Noxus—with just its mind.

After observing the buildings, Ryan began to pay more attention to the pedestrians on the street.

A few hundred years might be considered young in this world, but in the world Ryan was familiar with, this period of time had already exceeded the duration of many dynasties.

Beneath the shell of progress, freedom, and order, he saw "moss" clinging in the shadows.

The majority of the people were well-dressed, but there were also many ragged people who were hunched over and moving in hurried steps on the streets.

Ryan looked in the direction they left and saw at the end of his sight, countless strange smokes were reaching into the sky like long snakes.

That's the direction of Zaun...

The layout of the entire city-state of Piltover, or the regional differentiation, is very clear. The higher you go, the more prosperous it is, while the lower you go, the more deserted it is.

At the very bottom is a gentle, curving slope where only the poorest of Piltover live, as it's not far from the bridge connecting Piltover to Zaun.

If Piltover and Zaun are considered opposing city-states, then that is undoubtedly the front line.

Some people from Piltover had previously proposed blowing up the bridge and building a high wall at the border to prevent the people of Zaun from ever setting foot in this beautiful city.

But the councilors did not adopt this suggestion because they knew... Piltover's development could not be separated from the Zaun people.

Those dangerous jobs that do not require much skills and are harmful to the body still need to be done by those Zaun people who are not afraid of death.

After all, the people of Piltover are protected by the city-state's laws. They have a minimum wage and strict protection clauses, while the people of Zaun only need a few gold coins to buy a life.

Ryan took what he had seen and heard to heart, and began to think of the words he could use to persuade Councillor Tallis.

He may not understand the political game as well as the other party, but with the help of the background story and a little combination of recent observations, he can hit the other party's pain points.

Even if I can't convince Jace, I can convince the woman behind him.

After all, in the first season of Twin Cities, Mel was far more resistant to war than Jace. This woman from Noxus understood what war meant better than the naive Senator Talis.

At this moment... Ryan suddenly stopped.

A carriage came from a distance, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the white stone road attracted the attention of many Piltover ladies.

When looking at the Zaun people, these Piltover people would show disgust, nausea and even hatred.

But when they looked at the carriage, their expressions became complicated, as if they had many thoughts but did not dare to express them.

Several warriors wearing Noxian armor followed the carriage, holding sharp spears that flashed coldly in the light reflected from the building.

Wearing armor and wielding weapons in a foreign city-state would undoubtedly be seen as an offense and a violation of dignity, but in front of the vast Noxus... Piltover's current response is to pretend not to see it.

The carriage drove through the city, passing in front of Ryan without stopping the wheels.

But there was an obvious trend of slowing down, and the curtain of the passing carriage was opened a little.

Through the gap, Ryan saw a rough, dark complexion and strong arms.

These two extremely obvious features told him who was in the car... Anbesa, the cheap mother-in-law of Councillor Tallis.

At the same time Ryan recognized the other party's identity, a hoarse and majestic female voice was heard from the slowly moving carriage.

"Did you see that delicious dessert just now?"

"You mean the black-haired boy?"

"Yes, go ask him if he would like to come to my room tonight. I can give him what he wants."

"Yes!"

As Ryan watched, a Noxian warrior following the carriage turned around and walked towards him.

I know that many brothers just play games and have not read the background story or animation, so I will basically give a brief description of the general background. Brothers do not need to make up the plot or animation by themselves, and read the novel painlessly!

Chapter 371 The Confusing Future

In addition to being keen on invading and plundering, the Noxians are also slightly wilder in character than people from other places.

When Ryan was reading the background story before, he once thought that the cause of this situation was the "root" of Noxus, that is, the Black Rose Head who had been hiding in the shadows and controlling it since the rise of Noxus.

It is well known that the Black Rose is almost entirely composed of female characters, and the way they grow and reproduce is that when they take a fancy to an outstanding male magician or a man with a strong affinity for magic, they will use various methods to "borrow a seed" from him.

This barbaric way of courtship is even more outrageous than that of many animals.

This "distorted concept" seemed to have unconsciously influenced other people in Noxus, and then this influence fermented under the bad habits of the nobles. By the time it reached the wolf mother Anbesa...keeping male favorites in captivity seemed to have become a necessity of life.

In the original book, the first thing she did when she arrived in Piltover was to find her daughter to declare her sovereignty and demonstrate.

The second thing was to find many Piltover desserts in Piltover that were completely different from the local Noxian food style.

"Hello, beautiful gentleman..."

The Noxian warrior who came over tried his best to be polite, but the way he looked at the goods and the adjective "beautiful" made Ryan smell something wrong.

"...Excuse me, are you free tonight?"

The Noxian warrior was not stupid enough to repeat Anbesa's words directly. He knew that this was not Noxus...at least for now they couldn't just rob men on the street.

They have been exploring this city recently, and what they gained is not only knowing the irreconcilable problems between this city and Zaun, but also knowing how to use "white lies" to deceive these beautiful desserts.

The boys in Piltover are not as tough and eager for glory and opportunities as those in Noxus, so you often need to deal with them in a softer way here.

Syndra's eyes fell on the Noxian warrior. The style of his armor reminded her of the island where she sank.

But she showed no overt hostility, for the other party was praising Ryan.

Although the word "beautiful" is a bit inappropriate, it is still a good word.

"No."

Ryan's refusal stunned the Noxian warrior.

According to his experience, the Piltover boy should ask politely about specific matters, while he could feed the other party with money, knowledge, power or contact with the parliament as poison wrapped in honey.

As long as they could lure him to Anbesa's residence, no one would pay attention to him even if he screamed at the top of his lungs.

After all, the mansion belongs to the Noxus office in Piltover, and even the Piltover council members are not qualified to enter unless they want to provoke a war.

But then he glanced at Sindra next to him. This equally beautiful woman made him realize something, so he took out something similar to a business card from his pocket and handed it to Ryan, "When it's convenient for you, you can find us at this mansion at any time. The address is on the back of the business card.

"We have no ill will towards you. We just want to give you some surprises that can change your life. No matter what suffering you have or what ideas you have, you can come to us and help you realize them..."

The Noxian warrior did not explain in detail, knowing that leaving blank space would arouse the imagination.

As for whether the other party will believe it?

His own armor was the best proof.

The people of Piltover all hate themselves, but they also know that the empire is behind them!

The Noxian warrior left, his back was extremely handsome, and he had no idea that he had walked to the gates of hell.

"What do they want you to do?"

Sindra spoke curiously.
