Chapter 90: Piltover, the City of Evolution

Chapter 90 The City of Evolution - Piltover

"How long will it take us to reach Piltover?"

"I think we should take the boat. If we go by land, the Noxians are too annoying. They want to rob everything they see. Robbery and killing are already ingrained in their bones."

In the territory of Noxus, three young men walked on the wasteland.

After coming here, Rowan really understood why the Noxians kept going to war, because Noxus was really, really poor. Their land was not suitable for farming at all. A large amount of ore and steel could not fill people's stomachs. Therefore, Noxus would burn, kill and rob like a robber. In the final analysis, they did this just to survive.

When eating becomes a problem, and food and clothing cannot be solved, you ask him to be moral? Then is he immoral or you immoral?

As long as food and clothing can be solved, then morality is a matter of course.

But Rowan could only understand why the Noxians did this and why they kept destroying other people's homes, but it didn't mean that Rowan accepted the Noxians' approach.

You don't let others live in order to survive. Humans are not beasts.

"It won't be long. We are not far from the Pirt River Bay." Rowan retracted his gaze to the Noxian territory behind him and looked at the map and said.

Along the way, Rowan naturally met a lot of Noxians. As Lux said, the first reaction of the Noxians when they saw them was to rob them, because Rowan and the other two were obviously not Noxians. Now under the rule of the incompetent tyrant, Noxus was in chaos. They even robbed and killed their own people, let alone outsiders.

Rowan didn't let these people go.

He didn't take the initiative to find the Noxians, but those who came to the door and robbed Rowan and his group, Rowan didn't show any mercy.

His hands were already stained with a lot of Noxian blood, and Rowan would not show mercy to Noxus.

Even if Rowan knew a hero well, he would kill him.

"Let's go, let's try to get to Piltover today."

Rowan said to the two women beside him.

Lux took the initiative to lie on Rowan's back, and the three of them then sped up and rushed towards Piltover.

By the evening, Rowan and the other two finally arrived in Piltover.

A glorious city-state built on a cliff, magnificent and decorated with lights. This city combines retro and novelty. These two words that would conflict with each other are extremely harmoniously combined in the city of Piltover.

Rowan and Lux ​​stood in front of the city gate, and followed the caravans being inspected into Piltover one by one.

As a trading city, Piltover almost welcomes everyone. As long as you write your name honestly when entering the city, as long as you are not a wanted criminal in Piltover, whether you are a pirate from Bilgewater or a warring country Noxus, Piltover will welcome you.

Of course, Piltover will not accept pirates with wanted orders. At this time, you have to enter from Piltover's sister city

"Hey, you are a stranger, stop, where are you three from? Do you know our rules?"

The Piltover soldier wearing a helmet, holding a rifle in one hand, and guarding the gate in a blue combat uniform looked at Rowan and the other two and asked seriously.

"Demacia." Rowan said.

"Demacia?" The soldier at the gate was stunned, and then he said seriously: "Are you sure you are from Demacia? Please don't lie. There are occasionally Demacia noble caravans in Piltover. If you are lying, I will not let you enter Piltover."

Lux rolled her eyes standing by, she reached out from her pocket and took out a badge, looked at the gatekeeper, handed the badge and said loudly: "Demacia, Crown Guard."

"!" The gatekeeper paused, then he put down his gun in a panic, took the badge with both hands, and observed it.

As the soldier said, Demacia and Piltover also have trade relations. Therefore, although Demacia is closed to the outside world, Piltover also understands the situation of Demacia. They know how powerful Demacia is.

Piltover can build a city under Noxus without being invaded. Do you think it is because Piltover has strength?

It's not.

Rather, the people of Piltover are very good at making friends. This seemingly small city-state actually has exchanges with many countries, and Piltover has good relations with the two most powerful countries in Valoran.

Demacia needs Piltover to work for their trade, so it will not allow Noxus to act recklessly, and the great nobles of Noxus also eat the tributes paid by the people of Piltover, so they will not attack Piltover.

Under such circumstances, Piltover is thriving.

But this prosperity is only an appearance, because Piltover is too weak, like a group of sheep with gorgeous treasures. To put it bluntly, Noxus may attack Piltover at any time and eat up this city-state.

It's just a matter of whether they want to or not.

After all, even if Demacia wants to stop it, it is so far away. When the Demacia army comes to help, Piltover has been forced to change its surname.

Therefore, the proud Piltover man will also be humble sometimes.

"Please wait, I will ask the captain to come over immediately. Can I ask your name?"

"Lara Rose." Lux said.

She was not expelled from the Crown Guard. She is still Laxana of the Crown Guard.

But if she uses her real name, no one knows whether the news has been passed on here. In order to avoid conflicts, Lux decisively chose to use a fake name.

Rowan wanted to laugh when he saw it.

Lux is really getting better and better at pulling tiger skins.

The soldier in front of him left for a moment, and then a square-looking, short man ran over in a hurry.

After he appeared, the surrounding soldiers saluted him. It seems that this is the captain of the Piltover Law Enforcement Team.

"Hello, I am Marcos, the Piltover Law Enforcement Officer. I am glad to meet you. Can I see your badge?" Marcos looked at Lux flatteringly and whispered.

"Here you go." Lux nodded and handed the family emblem of the Crown Guard to Marcos.

Marcos studied it for a while, then he saluted Lux ​​and said loudly: "Welcome, great noble of Demacia."

"Excuse me, what do you need in Piltover this time?" Marcos has a righteous face, but what he does is a bit of a bootlicker. He looked at Lux, fearing that his behavior would cause dissatisfaction to the great noble from Demacia.

You know, many big families in Piltover have their merchant groups in Demacia. The one in front of him is from the Crown Guard family. What is a Crown Guard? In Demacia, the Crown Guard is the first noble under the royal family!

With just one sentence, those merchant ships will be forced to leave Demacia, and then, the big families without gold coins will vent their anger on unknown juniors like him.

Therefore, Marcos understands very well!

Lux smiled and said, "Relax, I'm just here for tourism. Piltover welcomes every tourist. I read it in a book, right?"

Marcos was stunned, then he nodded, "You're right."

"Please come in, Piltover, welcome."

He called out, and the soldiers let them in. Then, Rowan and Kassa's identities were not asked, and no soldier even dared to ask Kassa to take off her hood.

In this way, Rowan, Lux, and Kassa officially entered Piltover.

Marcos wanted to follow, but was sent away by Lux.

Walking on the streets of Piltover in the evening, the lights were bright, Lux's eyes were bright, and so was Kassa.

In this city, the night is like the day. The streets are bustling, and the faces of the pedestrians are full of happiness and pride.

Lux couldn't help but say, "This is the city of evolution."

"Yes, this is the city of evolution."

Rowan continued.
