Chapter 280 [0278] Trivial
Although they were unwilling and reluctant, because of Ino's firm attitude, everyone had to give up and go back to prepare the draft quietly, and then talk to Lux directly.
Then, before their draft was ready, Lux's official draft came out.
The next morning, an article titled "On Vaz'an in the context of Shurima" was sent to all the negotiating representatives on duty.
The familiar writing style and familiar wording techniques reminded people of the original "Letter to the People of Zuan".
However, unlike the "Letter to the People of Zuan" written after social investigation, the issues described in this "On Vaz'an in the context of Shurima" are more macro.
Here, the protagonist is no longer a little boy struggling to survive in a distorted social environment, but a city swaying in the tide of history.
Vaz'an prospered because of its unique geographical location, became silent because of the collapse of the empire, prospered because of the opening of the canal, and almost went into a dead end because of its high dependence on the income of the Sun Gate.
In this review spanning a thousand years, Lux carefully summarized the gains and losses of Vaz'uan, and at the end of the article, combined with the rise and fall of many other cities, raised many thoughts and questions.
If "A Letter to the People of Zaun" tells the life of the Zaun people, then this "On Vaz'uan in the Background of Shurima" is more about the summary of Zaun's past and the thinking of the future.
This article is not long, but it feels particularly heavy in the hand.
It is said that the former Shurima Empire had the habit of recording history, but with the collapse of the empire, the Great Library was buried by yellow sand, and history gradually became a myth.
But after reading this article carefully, the indescribable heaviness can be experienced by even the Zaun people who don't care about the name of "Orthodox Shurima".
After putting down the article, many people smacked their lips and soon discovered the implied entrustment of the article.
With a long sigh, everyone could only put their mood in order and extinguish the last bit of luck in their hearts.
Miss Lux... probably really intends to leave.
……………………
Sure enough, the persuasion and retention of the crowd failed.
After the specific treaty for the reconstruction of Vaz'uan in the Twin Cities is signed, the new Vaz'uan is officially established and recognized by other city-states in Shurima, she will leave quietly.
Persuasion is ineffective, retention is unsuccessful, and in the end, these negotiators on duty can only focus on the upcoming negotiations and vent their dissatisfaction on the people of Piltover.
And because this negotiation is related to the order of both parties after the completion of Vaz'uan, there are many affairs and complicated regulations. Representatives of various industries such as security, public security, administration, and culture need to negotiate separately, so the entire negotiation cannot be concealed from the outside civilians.
So, this time, the Piltover Daily and the Zaun Daily rarely unified their calibers, and both published editorials on the front page to prove that this cooperation is beneficial to both sides.
But even so, the people of Piltover and Zaun were almost boiling.
The people of Piltover could not accept that they would be on an equal footing with Zaun from now on. After being beaten, the parliamentarians and the big tycoons became honest, but the civilians lost the psychological pleasure of "comparing happiness with poor neighbors" and became dissatisfied.
In Zaun, everyone was quite satisfied with the result of taking back the Sun Gate, but like the members of the rotating negotiation team, they were more concerned about Lux's departure.
So, when the main framework of the negotiations was revealed, Piltover and Zaun marched almost at the same time. The people of Piltover protested against the weakness of the parliament, and the people of Zaun tried to keep Lux from leaving.
But unfortunately, they all failed to achieve their goals. Although there were many disputes that needed to be resolved with verbal abuse, the negotiations were always progressing steadily.
In this case, Lux and Camille agreed that it was time to send envoys to the cities on the northern coast of Shurima to invite them to watch the ceremony.
After all... the most important thing about the two cities uniting and rebuilding Vaz'uan is to show these cities - if they don't really believe that Vaz'uan insists on Shurima orthodoxy but does not intend to compete for orthodoxy, how can they open the heavy trade barriers of these city-states?
Moreover, sending envoys to invite to watch the ceremony is itself a kind of urging for negotiations. It is impossible that the envoys have come, but the details of the negotiation have not been finalized, right?
……………………
The envoys took Vaz'uan's document No. 0 and boarded the voyage ship to set off.
Vaz'uan's integrated cooperation plan is also progressing smoothly bit by bit.
At this time, Swain finally arrived outside the city of Besilico with the last group of warriors loyal to himself and Noxus.
Here, he met the army that came to clean up the rebellious Darius.
At this time, Darius was already an absolute powerhouse in the Noxian army. Although he had briefly participated in the Ionian War, he was eventually withdrawn and returned to the Ironthorn Mountains to maintain the war situation in the north due to the dishonesty of the barbarians in the Freljord in the north.
So, when other war groups were in a mess in Ionia, Darius was exchanging military merits with the barbarians in the north. After the failure of the Ionian War, he suddenly became an important powerhouse in the military.
In order to make him do his best to quell the rebellion, the commander-in-chief Darkwill promised Darius quite a few conditions before he set out, including the hand of Noxus that had been pending for a long time.
In this case, whether for himself or for Noxus, Darius will do his best in this battle.
Then, he had just mobilized the army and arrived at Besilico, and he saw a person who was not his target but was indeed wanted by the Noxian Empire.
Swain.
"Swain... are you colluding with the Besilico people?" Although he had a smooth cooperation with Swain, Darius still said bluntly, "Or do you think I will let you go because of Draven?"
As he spoke, Darius picked up his great axe, yanked it forward, hooked Swain's cloak, and brought him in front of him.
"Not really." Although Darius's behavior was very rude and not friendly at all, Swain smiled. "Even though I have encountered many misfortunes, my love for the Empire has never wavered... This time I came to you mainly to give you a gift."
"Gift?" Darius was a little surprised. "You mean my stupid brother?"
"It was just a casual thing, not a gift." Swain shook his head, then took a package and handed it to Darius. "Here's the gift!"
Darius opened the package with some surprise, and what he saw was a bloody head.
"Who is this?" Darius narrowed his eyes, "Don't play dumb with me."
"Her name is Amynis, and she is the orderly of Fendor." Swain chuckled, handed a stack of letters to Darius, and then gave a surprising answer, "She is also an accomplice of Besilico's rebellion."
Kalya's Little Classroom·Historical Records of Shurima:
Although there are immortal ascenders, at the request of Kalya, Shurima still trained a team of professional historians to record the history of Shurima from the perspective of mortals-unfortunately, because the Great Library was buried by yellow sand, these historical materials have not yet been unearthed.
PS. There are two more chapters updated in the evening.
