Chapter 90 [0088] Historical Stories

A conspiracy is brewing against Lux's excavation team.

But Lux, who was working with the miners, knew almost nothing about it.

Although Lux now has Janna as her "eyes and ears", it is a pity that because Janna's faith has declined so much, her divine power has almost been lost.

In the past, Janna was the storm goddess who could summon storms on the endless ocean. Nokhi and Shuriman traveling on the ocean would all prepare a piece of bird food on the boat to wait for the blue birds that might arrive.

But as the Shurima Empire "cleaned up the false idols" at the request of the giant god, Janna lost her authority, even though Kalya helped her leave the most important priesthood, even though she was still the legitimate "god of Runeterra" "God of Storms", but now in Zaun, all Janna can do is listen to the sound of the wind and stir up a breeze to dispel the smog.

Legend has it that when Janna was at her most powerful, she could hear the call of every sailor and was a "full map" existence at sea.

But now, even if it is just a corner of Zu An, she can only pay attention to part of the news in the wind.

In this case, the information she can provide is limited.

Lux only knew that the Noxians were staring at her, but that was all.

While the Piltover explorers were gearing up to rush into Zaun, Lux was still competing with Vi.

Bao Bao prepared a simple "exoskeleton frame" for Wei, but unfortunately this thing didn't work well at times. Not only did it not allow Wei to overtake him in one fell swoop, it actually wasted more time on the road.

Even this "exoskeleton" was bound to part of Wei's clothes. When it went off, a large piece of the back of Wei's coat was torn off.

Seeing this situation, even someone as calm as Lux couldn't help laughing. As for Milo and Craig, they immediately ran away with their buckets, for fear of seeing something bad.

"Wear this." After Lux had laughed enough, she finally took off her jacket and handed it to Wei, "It wasn't intentional... Hahahaha, it's still funny!"

Facing the coat handed over by Lux, Wei subconsciously wanted to refuse, but just in time a gust of wind blew and got into the damaged areas on the back of Wei's clothes. The cool wind made her shiver violently. Swallowed the second half.

"I don't - thanks."

"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome." Lux waved her hand, "It looks like my clothes are a bit too small for you... What do you usually eat to look so strong?"

"I remember you asked this question." Wei reluctantly used Lux's coat as a shawl to cover her back, "I like to eat marsh frogs."

"Is that thing really edible?" Lux couldn't help grinning, "I went to the black market to take a look last night. With all due respect, it looked a bit scary."

"Ha, I think starvation is more scary." Wei moved her body for a while, and after feeling okay, she reached out and rubbed Bao Bao's head, crumpled her short blue hair into a chicken coop, and then picked herself up bucket, and also put the broken exoskeleton under his ribs, "It's better to have something to eat than nothing to eat - and the taste of the magic swamp frog is really good."

"Fander will let you starve?" Lux said in disbelief, "That's not true..."

"It was before that." Wei shook her head, "I lived in Fulgen's Tavern when I was ten years old."

"Fander is not your father?" Lux's eyes widened, "I thought -"

"No, but it's almost the same." Wei curled her lips and said in a tone that seemed not worth mentioning, "My father rushed to the Gate of the Sun with him. Fandel came back, but he didn't come back. After that, , I followed Fandel.”

"I've heard about this conflict." Lux nodded, "Did Fulgrim's Tavern open after that?"

"Forgan's Tavern has been around for a long time." Wei was carrying the bucket danglingly. "But at that time, Fandel was not the boss. My father and the others took turns looking after the shop... a long time ago."

"I don't know any of this!" Bao Bao, who had rearranged his hair and put on the hairpin, finally caught up with his own bucket, "Fander never told me this."

"If it weren't for Lux, who would be talking about this?" Wei tilted her head and glanced at Bao Bao who was following her, "Only young ladies like this would be interested in the past-"

"Because the past is like footprints. It marks the direction we are coming from and reminds us that there is still a long way ahead." Lux used a sentence that Kalya said to herself. "Besides, it is also good to listen to as a story. "

"Story?" Bao Bao showed an interested expression, "Like a slug monster and a spiked crab monster that can secrete venom?"

"No, it's a historical story." Lux smiled and raised her eyebrows at Blast, "About the origins of gods and Zaun."

"God? Do you still believe in that stuff?" Hearing what Lux said, Wei grinned disdainfully, "Or do you mages like this... mysterious thing?"

"The gods really exist." Lux was now used to the way Vi spoke. "She is always there and always watching Zaun."

"Watching this place being corroded by poisonous gas, watching people here not even have enough to eat, watching the Piltover guys come here to show off their power, or watching one unlucky guy after another die on the dam of the Sun Gate?" Vi snorted, "Zuan doesn't have any gods. Even Boom Boom can't fool them."

"No, Zaun has gods." Lux shook her head, "The Wind of Change has always favored this city. Even though she has become part of folklore, she is still protecting the future of this city in her own way."

"That's great, but I don't see any future." Wei still shook her head, "The Wind of Change... sounds like what the Piltover guys say."

"You see, no one pays attention to history, so no one will remember the choices of the Wind of Change." Lux remembered a story Janna told her, "No one even remembers that when the Piltover Canal was dug, it was the Wind of Change that prevented the most terrible subsidence and suppressed the underground poisonous gas in a corner of Lower Zaun."

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Wei blinked and looked at Lux strangely, "Didn't you say that the Wind of Change was protecting Zaun? Then how could she be related to the Piltover Canal?"

"Because Piltover was originally part of Zaun." Lux put down the bucket, "Zaan and Piltover were originally one."

Karliya's Little Classroom·The Separation of Piltover:

Although Piltover is now more famous than Zaun, in fact, Piltover was originally part of Zaun - so from this perspective, Piltover and Zaun are not so much twin cities as two neighborhoods of a city.
