Chapter 258 Say Hello to the Wind of Change!
"Janna?!"
Surprised thoughts flashed through Li Lin's mind.
"It's me... isn't it you who keeps calling my name?"
Her voice was very weak and could even be described as intermittent, as if she would lose her voice in the next second.
"Today...I have consumed too much power...I must sleep...you wake me up...unbeliever."
Li Lin heard a hint of complaint in her tone, as if she was expressing:
I don't even care about my own believers, but I have to respond to you, a person who doesn't believe in me at all...
The gods of Runeterra are not emotionless. Not only the celestial warriors, but also the demigods born in the original era also have "love and hatred" similar to humans.
As Janna who was later promoted to a god of faith through faith and often dealt with humans, it was not unusual to have emotions.
Li Lin knew that Janna could directly read the thoughts in his mind, so he didn't dare to think randomly and immediately went straight to the topic: "I can help you regain your faith!"
"You humans... like equal exchange... I know... you have conditions."
This sentence seemed to exhaust all Janna's energy, and it took a full minute to finish.
"The conditions are there, but this is something we have to discuss later." Li Lin said hurriedly, "The most important thing now is to blow away the haze!"
After three or four minutes, Li Lin almost thought that Janna had fallen into a deep sleep again. When he was about to call her name again, she responded simply and concisely: "I... can't do it."
"I know you lack the power of faith, but I have gathered nearly two thousand people here. With my appeal, I should be able to get them to give you strength."
Janna was silent for a long time, "Undevout faith...is of no use to me."
"I know this, so I need your help, just a little bit."
"..."
There was another anxious silence.
So much so that even the little girl next to the man who just spoke couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Don't disturb him." The man quickly covered his daughter's mouth and whispered.
Then, he, the old woman, and the new people around him who also believed in Janna all gathered nervously and stared at Li Lin who suddenly stood silent.
Especially the old woman, she just felt a familiar feeling again, a feeling of deja vu.
Janna is here and she is talking to the child in front of her!
I don't know how much time passed before Jana responded: "...What are you going to do?"
"With the power you have left, to what extent can you use magic?"
"Trying my best... I can only... blow a breeze at the breathing station." She paused for a long time and tried to explain in short words: "After that... I will... fall asleep."
Janna sensed Li Lin's thoughts and added: "Unable... to reveal his true form."
Has it already reached this level...
Li Lin's heart sank, and he frowned and thought about countermeasures.
According to his original thought, although the air in the breathing station was turbid now, he could already open his eyes.
With everyone just saying that he was a mage, he wanted to attract the attention of everyone present and said that he had communicated with the Goddess of Wind.
Then, let Janna appear next to him for a short time.
When the people were shocked, he struck while the iron was hot and told people about Janna's difficulties and that they needed their faith to have the strength to help them.
In this way, the true form of the gods will be revealed, which will not only bring comfort and hope to Janna's current believers, but also bring comfort and hope to those who once believed in her but were later disappointed by certain things and no longer believe in her, as well as those who were originally wavering and had no hope. Believers went straight into her "arms."
However, the current Janna cannot do this at all, which makes it a bit difficult...
Li Lin looked around and found that most of the people of Zaan who had received assistance from the mechanical engineers were staring at him with admiration and respect.
Seeing his movement, the old woman's heart beat excitedly, and she couldn't help but ask: "My child, have you... communicated with the goddess Jana?"
Li Lin hesitated, "She did communicate with me..."
The Janna believers around him, including some who were barely "joining in the fun", all took a breath of air.
Li Lin had done so much for them, there was no need to deceive them on this matter.
Moreover, even if they did not see it with their own eyes, people who knew magic felt the sudden smell in their mouths and the exclamations of the breathing station staff. They knew that Li Lin was still a "mage".
It's not surprising that he can communicate with the Goddess of Wind.
"Oh my god! The goddess of wind appears!"
"It turns out that Janna's legend is true..."
"Jana, please help us survive this crisis safely..."
"Nonsense, who do you think the Ganwu Ceremony we hold on Evolution Day commemorates?"
"Uh... isn't that to commemorate those who died in the Great Collapse two hundred years ago?"
"..."
Hearing the comments and reactions of people around him, Li Lin's worries were relieved a lot.
It seems that it is not difficult to use people's trust in themselves and convert them into faith to provide to Janna.
At this time, the old woman took a few steps forward and came to Li Lin's side, seeing through his mind.
"Child, do you want to help Janna gain faith and let her help dispel the poisonous fog here?"
Li Lin nodded subconsciously.
"If you want to do it, just do it. We will support you and help you." The old woman showed a gentle and kind smile.
Not only her, but many people around Li Lin cast encouraging glances.
Even the man's daughter stepped forward and handed a bronze pendant with a blue bird pattern into his hand.
"Brother, give this to you."
"This is this?" Li Lin glanced down, turned to the girl's father, and declined: "I can't accept this, this is yours..."
"Take it, Lord Li Lin." The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled.
"I am a believer in the Goddess of Wind Sect, and I am also a craftsman who makes gadgets. I made most of the blue bird amulets of the believers in the sect. I still have many such blue bird amulets in my house."
Li Lin took a deep breath and said thank you to the little girl.
Then, with the hopeful eyes of everyone around him, the armor sprayed out blue-white flames and dragged his body into the air.
Li Lin asked Zhinao to turn on the loudspeaker function and whispered a word: "Everyone..."
His voice was not too loud and was easily covered in this crowded and noisy environment.
But seeing him flying into the air, the people in the respiratory station hall and under the eaves outside all stopped talking and looked up at the man who saved them from fire and water.
There was no other sound in the hall except the sound of breathing one after another and the roar of the huge air filter device.
Li Lin paused for a moment and looked around, taking in the expressions of most people.
Within a few seconds, he said: "Today's accident was something we didn't expect. I have sent all the mechanical engineers currently in Pi City to participate in the rescue operation.
"Subsequently, assistance from Vandel from Black Lane, Hilko from Border Market, the Gila Mann family and Piltover University will arrive soon."
The people present gave warm cheers.
Li Lin waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, "However, the alchemical poisonous gas produced by this explosion will spread in the trenches, the middle square, and even the entire Zaun for several months.
“Even if there is a respirator mask, it will still have certain unpredictable effects on the human body, which we cannot avoid.
"I can rush to produce a batch of air filters and place them throughout Zaun, but it will take at least two or three months to completely purify the toxic haze."
After these words were spoken, the faces of the people present could not help but change slightly, and their hearts became heavy again.
We are all poor people. If we don't come to the breathing station today, we will most likely lose our lives. They don't have money to enjoy fresh air, let alone a breathing filter.
Even if life is very poor and there is no hope.
But they also work hard to live for various reasons. No one wants to die, and no one is willing to die.
But the current situation gave them a blow.
"You must have a solution, right, Lord Li Lin?" A thin boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old couldn't help shouting.
"Yes, I do have a way."
Li Lin paused for a moment and thought about what to say, "I just communicated with Janna, the goddess of wind, and she is willing to help everyone."
There was an uproar inside and outside the breathing station.
Some faces were filled with hope, others were filled with sorrow, and still others had expressions of doubt and disbelief.
Li Lin raised his voice: "But now, she has lost her faith, and after saving some people before, her strength is very weak, even to the point of dissipating.
"If we can provide her with devout faith, she can dispel this poisonous haze for us, give us fresh air, and save us from the fire and water!"
He deliberately changed the personal pronoun to "we" to better enhance the sense of identity of the people of Zaan.
Everyone was talking about the feasibility of this matter, but most people were asking what they could do to provide "devout" faith to Janna.
At this moment, the group of Janna believers spread out and began to spread relevant knowledge to the people present and explain their doubts.
In order to allow everyone to provide Janna with the power of faith faster, Li Lin also asked the mechanical engineer to ask the old woman just now for the method, and then recorded it through the brain and publicized it to more people.
More than half an hour later, most people inside and outside the breathing station began to cross their hands and fingers, close their eyes and recite Janna's name silently.
Li Lin, who had already landed, stood in front of the air filter, scanning the people with different expressions in the hall, and at the same time calling Janna in his heart.
Not long after, a voice that was no longer as weak as before, with a crisp and ethereal voice sounded in his ears: "I didn't expect that you could really do this."
"Janna? Have you gained your powers?"
As soon as Li Lin finished speaking, a tall, elegant and translucent beautiful woman wearing a three-point silver-white silk dress appeared in front of him out of thin air.
She holds a blue staff transformed by the wind in her hand. A pair of jade feet hang down naturally. Her delicate jade fingers lightly point in the air. Her silver-white waist-length hair flutters in the almost still air. The pair of jade feet are like sapphires. The blue eyes are refreshing.
"The incarnation of wind, at your disposal."
Li Lin was stunned.
Controlling an avatar in a game is one feeling, but actually seeing her in reality is a completely different feeling.
"you……"
"I haven't recovered much power. It's impossible to dispel the toxic haze in the entire Zaun, but I can barely dispel the poisonous haze nearby."
Janna did not appear to Li Lin alone. Everyone in the breathing station saw her and exclaimed in excitement.
She turned back slightly and smiled at the many believers.
Immediately afterwards, she waved the staff in her hand, and strong winds whipped up around her, gathering together the remains of the scene and the haze around the breathing station, and blew it towards the Piltover Grand Canyon.
But in the people's perception, this strong wind blew over them, just like a gentle hand caressing their faces, without any hint of harshness.
“Say hello to the winds of change!”
We don’t have enough time, change it first and then change it
