"Congressman Tallis, did you hear that?"
A gentle voice with an aristocratic accent sounded.
"The young prince of the ancient country in the far west who participated in our Hex transformation plan before, he ascended the throne not long ago."
He was answered with a very impatient tone, but it was not the kind of disdainful impatience, but because he himself was busy with some kind of research, which caused him to not want to talk to anyone at all. To put it simply, don't touch me, I am very interested.
The feeling of being busy.
"Can you please not disturb my research because of this trivial matter! It's just a prince ascending the throne, it's none of my business... Wait!!!"
The busy figure suddenly turned around, revealing a handsome and sunny face, as well as a strong body.
He said in shock:
"What are you talking about? That guy Jiawen has ascended the throne? How is this possible!!!"
The gentle nobleman frowned, holding a delicate handkerchief in his hand, waving the air in front of him, and said with disgust on his face:
"Please, it's time to take a shower. It smells like those stinky rats in the bottom city."
The handsome man glared at him:
"answer my question!"
The latter nodded and said:
"Yes, he really ascended the throne."
The handsome man suddenly laughed:
"Hahaha! I knew it! That guy Jiawen absorbed the advanced ideas of our Pi City and will definitely reform that ancient country. But then again...it is said that only by a miracle from the gods can the king of Demacia ascend the throne, that is,
Say...the god of Demacia is still there?"
The handsome man thought about it and said:
"From this point of view, the power of this country cannot be underestimated... It can survive from the era of the old gods to today, and it really has a foundation that cannot be underestimated..."
at this time.
The gentle man suddenly said:
"However, this is not the key... As far as I know, the young king came to power not because of his strong political skills, but because he got the help of a very mysterious adventurer... This adventurer
His fame has spread to Ionia, the most mysterious land of birth."
"Is there still such a thing?"
The handsome man said in surprise:
"tell me the story."
The gentle man said:
"The hometown of that adventurer is called the City of Heroes. It is an ancient city-state that is now developing very well. Not long ago, Demacia formed an alliance with them through political means. In the end, the adventurer helped Jarvin break the shackles and successfully ascended the throne.
This is a major international event. As a member of parliament, you should be concerned about these international situations, rather than..."
He organized the following words and said euphemistically:
"You have to leave this laboratory for at least one day a month, right? Otherwise, if it weren't for me, you don't seem to know that the adventurer named Lin has already arrived in the direction of Pi City."
The handsome man was surprised:
"Really?"
He quickly picked up a mirror and looked at it:
"He helped Jiawen ascend the throne. He must be a good friend of Jiawen. Jiawen must have introduced him!"
"Quick, quick! Where is my rose suit?"
"Fuck! Why haven't these clothes been washed in half a month?!"
"Damn it! Why did that guy come suddenly without saying hello! Do you want me to see him like this!!"
…
...sneeze!
Lin Luo suddenly sneezed.
"It's strange, can I catch a cold even if I'm in such good health?"
At this time, Lin Luo spent most of a natural day and finally arrived within Piltover's territory from Demacia.
An old-fashioned helicopter flew creaking high in the sky, and the cold air poured in from the window that was not closed enough. Hong Shi's cheeks were red, and the breath out of her mouth was full of hot air.
"What kind of bird regulations are there in Piltover? Why are other flying mounts not allowed to enter?"
The cat in the back seat shrank his neck, put his hands in his sleeves, and mumbled dissatisfiedly.
Tata said softly:
"If you think about it carefully, it's understandable. Pi City is a city-state that strives to develop science and technology. It will definitely not allow extraordinary powers to be too rampant. There is nothing we can do if Arlo's mount cannot enter."
It turns out that Piltover, a progressive city, is progressive, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its own rules.
Just like Demacia will never allow anyone to blaspheme God.
Large ancient creatures like the three-headed hellhound are never allowed to appear in the high altitudes of Piltover. Firstly, the appearance of such a creature cannot guarantee safety. Secondly, it is rude to Piltover. Thirdly, Piltover
The sky is planned with waterways.
Flying mounts that are too large must be reported to the Air Navigation Bureau in Piedmont, otherwise they are not allowed to take off privately.
To put it bluntly, entry is not allowed.
So Lin Luo took the Cerberus three-headed dog to the outside of Piltover and changed into Hongshi's elderly helicopter.
Although the old helicopter she developed was slow and slow, it was allowed to enter the high altitude of Pi City. To be precise, it fell into the same category of technological routes, and it was not lethal and small in size, so it was allowed to enter.
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise. If you don't want to sit down, just jump out of the plane. Just say it first, I don't have a parachute!"
Hong Shi licked her dry lips and suddenly showed a fanatical smile. With a creak, she pulled the rudder to the full position. The already old helicopter made a reluctant sound and accelerated rapidly towards higher altitudes in the sky.
go!
Lin Luo's scalp felt numb:
"What are you doing? If we are not in a hurry, we must not crash!"
"Haha! Don't worry, I know the plane I built well!"
Hong Shi laughed exaggeratedly and said:
"Sit tight, everyone! - I'm going to take off!!!"
Maotou and Tata's faces turned pale with fright, and they were clinging to the seats on both sides. Lin Luo was also frightened, but he swallowed and found that there was a towering cliff in front of him, and he was about to hit it.
.
Lin Luo probably understood why Hong Shi accelerated. If he went at the same speed just now, he would definitely not be able to cross this cliff now and would definitely hit it.
Hong Shi was indeed an experienced driver. After adding up the speed, the helicopter rushed towards the high altitude in an almost 80-degree tilt attitude. It was thrilling and exciting. Lin Luo didn't even think about it when he fought the boss.
I have never been so scared!
Maotou was so frightened that his face turned pale:
"Hey! Hong Shi, will you hit the cliff? I'm so scared!!"
Hong Shi said displeasedly:
"I'm an experienced driver!"
Tata also turned pale and said:
"So... so exciting... more exciting than riding a roller coaster..."
Just as Lin Luo was about to speak, she found that Hong Shi's cheek was suddenly illuminated by the sun, and she showed a shocked and excited expression!
"Do not talk!"
Hong Shi looked forward excitedly and said:
"——Look quickly!!!"
The others turned to look, and Lin Luo opened his eyes suddenly. He saw an extremely shocking scene!
It was already past morning and close to noon.
As the helicopter flew dangerously over the towering cliffs.
The shining sunlight passed through the glass windows and fell on everyone's faces.
A majestic and majestic building that can be called a miracle of the world is reflected in their pupils!
Everyone saw an extremely open area, an exquisite city-state built on a towering and precipitous cliff!
Yes, this is a city-state built on a cliff!
But unlike Demacia's Mithril City, this city-state is much larger, more sophisticated, and more advanced!
"Look! This is the Grand Canal between Valoran and Shurima!"
Hong Shi opened the map excitedly and shouted!
It's like she discovered a new world!
"According to the name on the map, this place is called Pilt River!"
On the world map, this unprecedented Grand Canal is just an ordinary line.
But when the perspective is infinitely enlarged and Lin Luo and the others come here in person, they can't help but feel the uncanny creativity of this world, the tenacious vitality of people, and the beauty and wonder of nature!
At a glance, the blue Grand Canal is endless and endless, with no end in sight.
The Grand Canal stretches between two ancient continents and is nearly a hundred kilometers long!
The turbulent river is full of ancient and steep cliffs and rocks that existed thousands of years ago!
And on the most steep, tallest and most majestic cliff, like the legendary city in the sky, a huge and sophisticated city-state is being built tenaciously and lushly, like an ivy, clinging to that city.
On top of ancient cliffs.
How tenacious human vitality is required to create such an outstanding and advanced city-state on such a terrifying and dangerous Grand Canal with extraordinary power!
This is truly a miracle of life!
"Wow……"
The strong wind pouring in from the window of the plane blew Tata's long bangs, revealing a pair of brown eyes. The shining sunshine and the magnificent and progressive city were reflected in her eyes like waves, telling her inner shock.
The cat head stared with round eyes, and quickly turned on the holographic shooting function to capture the entire scene from a first-person perspective.
Lin Luo also held his breath and watched everything with his eyes wide open.
With his ultra-long viewing distance, he can see the scene more clearly than the rest of the people!
He can more intuitively feel the beauty and power of this progressive city.
In the middle of the Grand Canal, which spans nearly 100 kilometers, there is a huge modern bridge built by human civilization. It connects the continents on both sides of the strait and connects the two worlds separated by nature and human beings, allowing the civilization and trade of the two continents to
Cultures can be exchanged!
Science and progress!
It was here that he was born!
…
[Hint: You have entered Piltover, and you are the first adventurer to come to Piltover]
[You have activated the achievement: Progressive Adventurer! 】
[Achievement reward: You have gained Piltover Prestige: 10 points]
In the world of Runeterra.
Each country, or even each city-state, has different culture and customs, and its prestige points are completely independent.
For example, Lin Luo had 400 prestige points in Demacia, a country that believed in gods, but when he came to Piltover, a place that believed in technology, these 400 prestige points were worth less than a gold coin and were completely useless.
Lin Luo looked at the huge bridge connecting the two continents, and there was a message displayed on it.
【Legendary Building: Piltover Sea Lock!】
"Look, the height of this sea gate is rising slowly!"
Lin Luo murmured.
The technological power of this world is completely different from reality, and it is very likely that the physical rules in many high-end fields are different.
This huge sea gate connecting the two sides of the Taiwan Strait looks like a gentle slope from a God's perspective.
From a human perspective, this slope cannot be felt at all if you stand on the bridge in person, because the bridge is too long, but it is different when viewed from the sky.
In a section of the southern Shurima continent, the slope of the bridge is gradually downward, while in the northern part of the continent of Valoran, the bridge slope is gradually upward.
This slope is not obvious, but Lin Luo has a strong eye, so it does exist.
On both sides of the huge strait bridge, there are all low-rise bungalows, densely packed together, and the overall look is messy. Most of the people living in them are wearing linen clothes, with simple and tired faces. They are all the most ordinary fishermen.
The Valoran continent to the north is a coast with a higher slope. The end of the bridge is the ancient, majestic and eternal cliff, which extends to the bottom of a beautiful and progressive city-state.
At the bottom of the huge cliff city-state Piltover, that is, under the bridge, many large sailing ships and cargo ships were sailing. They slowly passed through the customs and transported trade and goods here.
"This was the original trade route of Piltover. At that time, people could only trade by ship, using this simple and primitive transportation method to achieve trade between the two continents... and at that time, there was no Piltover yet.
The city-state of Twow, this trading point was called Zaun. Later, some people in Zaun got rich. In order to open up the Grand Canal, they did not hesitate to blow up Zaun into two pieces. The upper part of the city became independent and established what is now Peel.
Twov, above the lower city of Zaun, this twin city-state is completely separated."
Lin Luo said slowly.
"And a few decades ago, scientists in Piltover developed something called 'Hex Technology', so people no longer only trade through trade routes on the sea, but also through Hex technology in the sky.
Feimen, also known as the Evolution Gate transaction!"
Lin Luo said, suddenly raising his head and heading towards the sky!
This scene is beyond the times!
This also symbolizes the complete separation between the Age of Peace and the Age of Old Gods.
It turns out that in the endless sky, there is a space bridge parallel to the bridge on the sea, and countless Hex airships are passing through it. This scene feels very ultra-modern.
One is an ancient bridge on the sea. It is primitive and vicissitudes of life, and the people driving on it are ordinary traders.
One is the Hex Bridge in the sky, which is advanced and convenient. Those traveling in that space channel are advanced and expensive Hex airships, among which are wealthy chambers of commerce or big forces from all over Runeterra.
of warlord.
Two parallel bridges lead to the same city.
But they can never intersect, giving people a cyberpunk feel.
"Gitui...this is too outrageous."
Mao Tou took a closer look.
He felt that the class divisions in this city-state were even more terrifying than those in Demacia.
At the same time, this also corresponds to the name of this twin city-state.
The ancient bridge on the canal connects the ports on both sides, making the overall shape like a barbell.
The lever in the middle is the bridge, and the barbell plates on both sides are slightly larger ports.
The port city-states with two ends that resemble barbell plates are both called Zaun.
Above the north side of the barbell is a cliff that towers into the sky. On top of the cliff stands a separated and independent city of progress.
This is where Lin Luo is going, Piltover, also known as Piltover.
So if you think about it carefully, it's probably just such a thumbnail.
A city-state with a barbell-like structure, the city-state on both sides that resembles barbell plates is called Zaun, and high above Zaun in the north, there is an independent and progressive city called Piltover.
The highest point of Piltover is the Hex Flying Gate.
This flying gate is like the light on a lighthouse. It emits Hex rays that lead to all directions. The huge rays form a space bridge that communicates the entire Rune Land. People from all over the world can pass through the Hex Flying Gate.
Rays perform space folding and jumping, allowing travel anywhere.
This is really a strange twin city-state.
Hong Shi's old-fashioned helicopter flew very slowly. She rose into the air unsteadily and flew towards the city of progress on the cliff.
After all, this is their final destination.
But Lin Luo suddenly said in a deep voice:
"Drive slower."
Hong Shi said in confusion:
"Am I not slow enough?"
Lin Luo shook his head and said:
"No, you'll understand what I mean later."
