lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Although they got on the bus early, they couldn't really fall asleep and wait until they reached their stop.

"Then help me draw some drawings."

What method are people in this world most familiar with?

Text and painting.

Ryan himself 'stole' some painting magic skills in Gouya Temple, but those skills could not allow him to surpass masters like Maura when painting with a pen.

He planned to have Maura draw hundreds or thousands of portraits of Janna, and then Mel would manipulate and spread these portraits.

This kind of communication must be spread among people at all levels, such as nobles, commoners, scholars, etc., and a set of stories that can satisfy the "tastes" of different groups of people must be designed.

He planned to let Mel complete this part of the story.

After all, what these MPs are best at is storytelling, and their second best thing is telling stories that they like to different groups of people.

After Maura nodded in agreement, Ryan began to provide some keywords to the painting master.

This time, Janna’s image cannot be too ethereal, making the believers feel far above the gods;

But it cannot be too plain and simple, which can easily make people's faith less devout.

Ryan felt that although the original skin of Janna was beautiful, her image seemed too weak and not very suitable for the current environment and people's imagination.

With his description and Maura's filling in.

The new image of Janna in the first edition jumps off the page.

Ryan looked over...and suddenly found the image familiar.

Isn’t this the ultimate skin for Janna?

-

Thanks to medical operator Ming Zhiming for the reward!

Chapter 408 Vladimir's Family

Every 'hero' in League of Legends has many additional skins.

Some of those skins represent the appearances of different periods in the main universe, while others are directly other plot developments in the parallel universe.

But a painting in the game is a life in reality.

Ryan stared at the painting for a long time. The expression on Janna's face in this painting was completely different from before, as if the cold statue of a god finally had some warmth. Even though it looked a little indifferent and unruly, it was already a great honor for a "god" to show you that expression, and no one would expect that expression to be friendly.

As for her dress, it is much more "conservative" than before. Although it is less light and elegant, it looks more noble and mysterious. This noble mystery, combined with her indifferent expression, can actually hit the "spot" in most people's hearts.

God is approachable and kind.

But this closeness and kindness should be viewed from God's perspective, rather than the closeness and kindness of the big sister next door.

Being too "low" will only make some people gradually develop thoughts of usurpation.

After all, believing in God means coming into contact with many, many people, and in any world or society, once the forest is big, there will be all kinds of birds.

For Janna, this level of intimacy is already considered extremely close.

"Are you satisfied?" Maura was extremely confident in her skills. After Ryan told her his requirements, she, as an "old person", also incorporated her understanding and expectations of God into the painting.

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

Ryan nodded, and then said to Maura: "Can you draw a thousand paintings in two days?"

"How much?" The smile on Maura's face disappeared.

"One... eight hundred?" Ryan realized his request was a bit too demanding, so he took a step back and said, "Eight hundred in three days!"

This is his bottom line, not that he is afraid of staying here for a few more days.

After all, Syndra likes this place, and she also likes the joy of the people of Piltover and Zaun at this time. Even if it is to take care of Syndra's emotions, he plans to stay for a while before thinking about the next stop of the journey.

Moreover, he just saw that Maura had many clothing sketches here, and the outfit that Sindra wore last night was also Maura's work.

Then Ryan can't leave here until Maura finishes making all the clothes she designed, or he can sacrifice for art for a while longer!

The reason why he wanted to finish these scrolls within three days was because this was only the first step, and there would be a second and third step later...

Therefore, we must take advantage of the defeat of the Noxians and before the popularity of Janna's "apparition" shortly before the defeat has subsided, and continue this wave of popularity.

Anyone who has surfed the Internet knows that once the popularity has passed, it is meaningless to force it to be hyped again, and it will not have the same effect as before.

"..."

Maura took a deep breath, her brown curls swaying as her body floated.

She stared at Ryan for a long time before slowly exhaling, "I need help."

Why did Vladimir choose her as his companion among so many people? It was not just because Maura could draw well.

Also because this woman has an extremely clear mind, she will not forget her position because of Ryan's kindness to her.

Ryan: "I can ask Mel to help you gather everyone in Piltover who can draw."

This is not difficult. In the progressive city of Piltover, there are many people who can paint.

Perhaps we could pick out dozens of people from among the students studying in Piltover.

"Then I'll try my best." Maura sighed. It's easy to find people... but there may not be many who can meet her requirements and draw every detail.

But what can she do?

Ryan only had to come up with ideas, but she was thinking about so much more.

Ryan felt a little uncomfortable under Maura's resentful gaze and changed the subject: "Where is Vladimir?"

When Vladimir was mentioned, Maura's eyes became even more resentful. "After he came back from this trip, he started looking for ancient books everywhere."

"Ancient books?"

Ryan was a little surprised.

A person who has lived for nearly a thousand years looking through ancient books is like a sixty-year-old man looking through newspapers or news that he read when he was twenty years old.

"Why is he looking for ancient books?"

"He said he suddenly remembered some family events from the past, but he couldn't remember some of them."

Maura really didn't know what Vladimir was going to do.

housework?

Ryan remembered that Vladimir's background story stated that he was the prince of ancient Kamavia.

During the Darkin War, he was sent to the Darkin as a hostage by his father, and then led the Darkin men back to his own country and personally chopped off his father's head.

In such a 'harmonious' family, what family matters need to be recalled?

Ryan didn't know and didn't understand.

But he respected Vladimir.

"Then I'll go talk to Mel. I'll leave this matter to you."

Ryan found an excuse and left.

......

After Ryan left.

A figure appeared behind the cabinet used to store tools in the studio.

The silly beauty came out from behind the bookcase.

She knew that Ryan had discovered her, but she also knew that Ryan was pretending not to have discovered her.

But her outfit at this time was indeed not suitable for appearing in front of men.

Before, LeBlanc had wanted to borrow Ryan's "seed", but for some reason, after this experience in Zaun, she suddenly felt that she might not be able to do so.

Even if you have to do it, you should do it openly, instead of doing it secretly and with impure intentions.

Maura turned her head and looked at LeBlanc. She was not afraid of this woman.

Because of Vladimir, LeBlanc is also half a friend to her.

When facing LeBlanc in her true form, she would be a little more serious.

But when faced with so many clones, Maura walked over, gently hooked her hands around the corset that bound Leblanc's slender waist, and then gently lifted the heavy weight on top with her fingers.

"Look, this is a lot."

"..."

Leblanc ignored the other party's movements. She looked at Maura and suddenly whispered, "Do you want to know what Vladimir is doing?"

"Do not want to."

"Really don't want to?"

"If he wanted to tell me, he would have told me himself."

Maura has always been law-abiding.

But Leblanc wasn't one to keep to herself. She leaned over to Maura's ear and whispered, "He told me a secret last night. He said he discovered, under unusual circumstances, that one of his relatives was still alive."

"?"

Maura was stunned for a moment, then instinctively said, "This is a good thing."

"That's a good thing indeed." Leblanc laughed. "It just so happens that he can send this relative to the other world and reunite with his other relatives."

Chapter 409 Treat, Behead, Accept as a Dog

Looking at Maura who was lost in thought, Leblanc laughed.

She didn't really want to plot to harm Vladimir or anything, she just wanted to have some fun.

After all, at her age, there are not many people she can play pranks on, so she has to cherish and seize the opportunity when she has it.

Maura raised her head and looked at Leblanc helplessly.

She knew what the other person was thinking, but she also knew that there was no need for LeBlanc to lie to her.

This is indeed true.

So…Vladimir doesn’t have a good relationship with his family?

Maura really didn't know much about this.

After all, Vladimir rarely talked about these unhappy past events with her.

......

the other side.

Ryan came to Councilman Tallis's office.

It's said to be Jace Talis's office, but in fact, after the Noxians retreated, Jace rediscovered his passion for scientific research.

With the return of Heimerdinger, research at Piltover University is back on track.

Previously, scholars in Piltover had some resistance and fear towards the weaponization of Hextech. A group led by the principal, Heimerdinger, even directly threatened to resign.

But the situation is different now. Heimerdinger saw the end of the world in the 'future' caused by the suppression and distortion of Hextech, while other scholars deeply felt the weakness of Piltover in the threat of Noxus.

In the end, they reached a common understanding that instead of leaving their safety to an uncertain future or the mercy of their enemies, it would be better to transform their potential into strength first, so that they can at least have a say.

As for what the future holds, that's another matter. Hextech weapons must be built.

But one group of people can create weapons while another group studies how to prevent these weapons from being abused and causing danger.

In short, walking on two legs is better than standing still and waiting to die.

After the research and development of Hextech weapons was put on the agenda, Jayce's role became more and more critical. As the founder of Hextech technology, even Heimerdinger's understanding of Hextech was not as deep as Jayce's.

Piltover doesn't lack a Senator Talis, but it does lack a Hextech founder who focuses on the research and development of Hextech weapons.

Mel's abdication was due to two reasons: firstly, the pressure her beloved mother and the Noxians put on Piltover was too great; secondly, other nobles took advantage of the situation to eliminate a competitor.

But now the Noxians have been defeated, and all that remains of Mel's mother, Anbesa, is the head.

People will feel intimidated and afraid of powerful opponents, but for defeated opponents... they don't mind sharing a little bit of "mercy" to show their magnanimity.

As for the nobles, Jace has already made his statement.

He could quit the council and concentrate on researching Hextech weapons in order to make Piltover great again, but only if Mel took his place in the council.
