Chapter 259 Janna’s Blessing
Janna's appearance caused the breathing station to boil.
Just as Li Lin expected, the true form of the Goddess of Wind appeared and performed a "miracle", and the power of faith she gained increased by leaps and bounds.
The most intuitive and obvious thing is that Janna's body is different from the translucent state just now. It has undergone changes visible to the naked eye and has completely solidified.
Except for her body and hair that can float gracefully in the air like the wind, she doesn't look much different from an ordinary human being now.
To put it bluntly, it seems that a vastaya branch was born from the union of humans and a being with more human blood.
Janna was also very surprised by today's situation.
She told Li Lin that in the more than two hundred years since the "Great Collapse" incident, she had appeared in front of people so directly in order to gain believers.
However, most people will initially believe in Janna and implore her to do various things.
But some of the pleas were too difficult for a wind goddess like her, and quite a few of them were because her power had never been restored and she couldn't do it at all.
After responding to countless requests from believers, Janna's limited power was once again exhausted and she fell into a deep sleep for a long time.
Later, those new believers who could not get the response from the goddess gave up their belief in Janna and turned to study fine craftsmanship.
This creates a vicious cycle in which believers do not provide the power of faith, so they have no power to respond to believers, and believers do not receive a response, so they no longer believe.
For more than two hundred years, Janna has been living like this, and can only occasionally encourage some poor people when their lives are in crisis while she is awake.
If not for the "Day of Ashes" incident a few years ago, when some people prayed to the Goddess of Wind for peace and pulled her back from the brink of complete dissipation, Zaun's patron saint might have ceased to exist.
Gods cannot die, but only those demigods native to Runeterra, whose power comes from Runeterra itself.
They do not need believers, but believers need them.
But Janna, a being who became a god based on human faith, would cease to exist if there were no believers.
But after today's incident, she will gain a group of loyal believers.
Outside the breathing station, Li Lin and Janna were floating in the air together, looking down at the steady stream of refugees arriving by themselves, or the injured being transported by mechanical engineers and rescue teams.
In just two or three hours, nearly five thousand people had gathered here.
The surrounding haze was completely cleared by Janna, and for the first time since the haze appeared, the air here was fresher than Piltover.
After a long silence, Janna turned to Li Lin and said, "Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?" He smiled and shook his head, "This is you..."
"Don't be humble." Janna interrupted him and said with a serious look: "It was you who called me and provided this solution. Without you, I would not have been able to gain so much power of faith."
She blinked her beautiful eyes, and with a random move of her slender fingers, a wisp of breeze formed a sky-blue blue bird, singing a brisk song and flying around them.
Finally, the blue bird turned into a blue stream of light and rushed towards the blue bird amulet given to him by the little girl in Li Lin's hand.
He spread his fingers in surprise and found that Janna's magic power had reshaped the bronze amulet, turning it into a sky blue without impurities, and the blue bird on it looked more lifelike.
Immediately afterwards, Li Lin felt a sense of relief from the depths of his soul, his mind became extremely clear, and even the flow of mana in his body became particularly smooth.

In stormy weather, this effect will increase to 25% and last until the end of the battle ( Located outside the Twin Cities, 20% of maximum mana can be spent to cast this ability, with a cooldown of 5 minutes). 】
Li Lin noticed the system prompts and looked very surprised, "This is..."
"A small reward." Janna maintained an elegant and indifferent smile, "You humans like equal exchanges, don't you?"
"That's true, but I didn't ask for anything in return, nor did I think so..."
Li Lin didn't know what to say. After all, helping Janna regain her strength this time was not for himself, but simply to save the people of Zaun.
"It seems that I misunderstood you...but since the gift has been given, I will not take it back."
Janna chuckled, "I can feel the majestic magic flowing in your body, but you don't seem to know how to use your talent. I hope my wind magic can provide you with some help."
This can no longer be described as a "little help". It has simply improved my combat effectiveness without a battle armor!
Coupled with the genetic enhancement potion, Li Lin felt that he could tear apart hundreds of people enhanced with alchemical technology using his physical body alone. They couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes.
The "Alchemy Technology Transformed Man" who was previously enhanced by Hilko's unstable shimmering potion is far from Li Lin's opponent today.
"Wind Guardian" allows him to attach wind magic effects to himself, which is equivalent to enchanting wind magic. It can not only increase his speed, but also increase his destructive power.
Moreover, this effect can also be applied to kinetic weapons and ammunition fired by the armor, but the mana required outside the Twin Cities is staggering.
Not to mention the "Eye of the Storm", a life-saving shield that is available every five minutes and can be used both inside and outside the Twin Cities.
"Thank you very much. This is very useful to me." Li Lin unfolded the armor around his neck, wore the Blue Bird Talisman on his chest, and thanked him sincerely.
Janna nodded, her eyes suddenly focused on his chest, her expression looked a little stunned, "By the way, that of yours is... the Ascension Talisman?!"
The Ascension Talisman hardly leaked any magical energy. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known that Li Lin was still wearing it.
"Yes, this is the reward given to me by God Emperor Azir." Li Lin gave her the amulet.
"The Shurima Empire...is back again..." Janna muttered in confusion.
Li Lin looked slightly hesitant, "I heard that the Emperor of Shurima overthrew your idol?"
Janna nodded slightly, "Yes, but don't worry, the person who issued this order was not Azir who gave you the talisman."
She hesitated for a moment, then asked the question in her heart: "Didn't Azir die thousands of years ago? How come he was resurrected again?"
"The matter is very complicated, and I can't explain it for a while... To put it simply, it was his last remaining bloodline that awakened him."
It took two or three minutes for Li Lin to briefly describe his experience in the City of the Sun.
After Janna heard this, she turned her eyes to the direction of Shurima in the south. She was silent for a long time and sighed slowly: "I didn't expect that Azir could ascend again."
In order to prevent her from being too anxious, Li Lin explained; "This is a good thing, Azir is a good emperor."
"Maybe……"
Perhaps recalling some bad memories, Janna obviously didn't want to continue on this issue.
"Let's get down to business. Did you want to make a deal with me before?"
It's really uncomfortable to feel the thoughts in your heart...
Fortunately she no longer uses this ability.
Li Lin stared into her blue eyes and thought in his mind.
"That's right." He said immediately, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "And this will be a win-win situation."
