Chapter 359: The Legend of the Ice and Snow Festival
A very serious look appeared on Aman's expression:
"If you have to lose something in life to gain something, then if I give it back to you now, won't I have to lose it?"
Lin Luo's expression became strange, and he felt uneasy for no reason.
Aman usually doesn't smile at all, not because she has a cold personality, but because she is not happy at all.
But now, she looks really good when she smiles, but Lin Luo thinks this is abnormal, as if she is going to do something dangerous.
"Aman, calm down, don't do anything stupid."
Lin Luo felt creepy, something was really not right with Aman.
Aman showed a determined expression on his face:
"I'm not stupid, I'm very smart."
She said word by word:
"Let me ask you again, if I give it back to you now, will I not have to lose it?"
There was a decisive look on her face, and her five-fingered Hex prosthetic suddenly burst out with fierce light and stabbed the left side of her chest!
Lin Luo suddenly opened his eyes!
Aman is crazy??
He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't do it in time.
Today's Aman is a legendary plot character. She can beat herself more than ten times.
"Don't do this Aman!"
Lin Luo quickly stopped her, but unfortunately her strength was not at the same level.
"You should know that this is how I am."
Aman said with a somewhat stubborn tone.
Lin Luo was stunned, but he suddenly realized, yes, this is Aman. She has crazy attributes in her bones. This hidden attribute only appears when she is extremely emotional at a life-or-death situation.
"But... you don't have to be like this..."
Lin Luo's voice was a little hard to calm down.
He saw Aman slowly take out a dreamy purple Hex gem from his chest.
Aman's face became visibly weak and pale. Her body was transformed and different from ordinary people, so there was no bloody scene. It was just the simple loss of her energy core that caused her to completely lose her strength and become a more delicate person than ordinary people.
"I'm giving it back to you now."
Aman held it tremblingly and looked at Lin Luo with an expression of retention and reluctance. It turned out that she also had such a pitiful side:
"I will return this Heart of Hex to you, can you please not leave?"
Lin Luo froze on the spot.
He could predict that versions would change, but he could not predict that Aman would use this method to retain him.
But like Aman said, that's how she is.
Everyone is different, and it has nothing to do with men and women. Aman is not a cookie-cutter woman, she may not be lovable, but that's just how she is.
"You... put your heart back in place quickly, it's very dangerous!"
Lin Luo quickly changed the topic. In fact, in a bell tower of this height, if Aman lost his strength and fell down, his body would probably not be found.
Moreover, Lin Luo also underestimated Aman's weakness.
Her face had completely lost all color, she rolled her eyes, and she staggered and fell towards the railing!
Lin Luo's pupils shrank to the size of a needle in an instant, he shot out and quickly pulled him back.
"Aman! You can't do this! This is your Hex heart!"
He pulled Aman back, forcibly obtained Hex's heart, and put it back into his chest.
He can understand Aman's behavior.
In the final analysis, this is the nature of people in Zaun who dare to love and hate.
It's a pity that some things cannot be explained like this. He himself can explain it clearly to Aman.
"That is to say, do you have to leave?"
Aman spoke weakly and showed some wry smile.
She finally realized that she would definitely not be able to keep him.
"Yes, and I said that Zaun has many of my businesses and partners. It's not like I'll never come back. At worst... I'll pay double the bill for drinking!"
Aman was rarely amused. She turned over weakly, as if accepting the reality:
"Then when will you leave?"
Lin Luo thought for a while and said:
"I'm not sure, probably within a day...Okay! Put your heart away. This is your most important thing. You have to protect it well. Don't do anything like this again in the future."
Lin Luo clapped his hands and prepared to leave, but suddenly found that he was locked.
Locking himself with a crushing legendary power, Aman said in a faint and authentic tone:
"I agreed to let you go after one day, then I will let you go after one day."
Lin Luo swallowed.
He suddenly felt helpless. He was careless and didn't dodge.
But then I thought about it.
She didn't want to leave on her own, but her method was very tough.
But Lin Luo knew that he still had a long way to go and couldn't stay here.
At this time Aman suddenly asked:
"By the way, if you also want to transform the source plan, do you think you can succeed?"
Lin Luo said puzzledly:
"Why ask that question?"
Aman said:
"Because I have talked with Dr. Victor, and after this matter is completely over, he is willing to carry out a transformation of the source plan for you alone. I suddenly remembered and wanted to tell you."
Lin Luo didn't expect her to mention this, so she thought about it and said easily:
"Of course it can work."
The core concept of the Source Project is carried out by combining faith and Hex Gemstones.
Lin Luo has both of these, and he understands them all too well.
"No wonder..."
Aman sighed a little:
"I should have thought of it earlier. Each of us has our own 'Source Plan' in our hearts. Mine has been completed, but yours is still going on. I think the ideal you are pursuing in your heart must be countless times greater than mine."
of……"
She suddenly let go of her hand and said:
"I shouldn't have kept you, because I can feel that the fire of faith burning in your heart must be a thousand times stronger than mine, but you always hide it in your heart and no one can feel it."
Lin Luo looked at her in surprise:
"Can you guess this? I've never mentioned it to anyone."
In fact, Aman did guess it.
Aman showed a sly smile:
"I have strong perception ability. I must have guessed correctly. Tell me quickly, what is the source plan in your mind?"
Lin Luo smiled, but didn't say anything.
"You didn't even tell me? We are best friends!"
Aman was dissatisfied.
Lin Luo smiled and shook his head:
"You can't tell me. If you tell me the first time, you'll tell me a second time. If you tell me too much, it won't matter. Maybe one day, you will know."
Aman felt very itchy and wanted to coerce and lure him out.
It's a pity that no matter how she tries to scare or coax her in a pitiful way.
Lin Luo still smiled and shook his head, giving people a sense of calm, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Damn it! Didn't that guy go to say goodbye? Why are you flirting with the NPC?"
Maotou kept staring, and as he looked, he realized that something was wrong.
But then he thought about it and realized what happened along the way was not surprising.
If she were a woman, he might be the same way.
But thinking that Lin Luo was his brother, Maotou suddenly felt like vomiting. This was so disgusting.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Luo Shen is really awesome, he actually started dating NPCs."
On the ground very far away, many players looked at the scene on the bell tower with emotional expressions.
Why are the differences between people so big?
When will it be my turn for such a good thing?
Someone said in surprise:
"No, it doesn't seem like the NPC is picking on him, but the NPC is picking on him."
"Shit! Wouldn't that be even more awesome?"
"Wake up, stop dreaming, she will just slap you away if you go there!"
Of course, this is just gossip.
In the end, Aman accepted the reality that Lin Luo had to leave. Lin Luo thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said to Aman:
"How about we go to Shimmer Bar again? Let's have another drink and treat it as you practicing it for me."
Aman nodded, she thought so too.
…
Next.
Lin Luo saw many things in Zaun that had never happened before.
As the poisonous cloud faded, a faint light began to fall on Zu'an. Sunlight and warmth began to appear on the ground. The cold and damp ditches were gradually illuminated by the light. Many bewildered ditch orphans looked up at the traces of clouds and mist.
Spreading sunshine.
They subconsciously raised their hands to touch it. Although it was out of reach, when the sunlight fell on the blue skin, their eyes showed excited expressions, as if they were alive again!
"This is what Zu An should be like."
Aman smiled and said:
"Zuan still needs to change a lot, but at least it's starting to change. This is a good thing."
The two walked into the Shimmer Bar, and the members of the Green Ghost Gang looked over.
Ahu was absentmindedly wiping the table, and when he saw Lin Luo coming in, his expression suddenly became excited.
"Lin! Are you willing to stay?"
It turned out that he also knew this. Lin Luo shook his head:
"After drinking the last drink, I'm leaving Zaun."
Ahu was stunned for a moment, then he said with a somewhat disappointed expression:
"So...do you still want to leave?"
But he wondered:
"So where are you going next?"
Lin Luo smiled and said:
"Have you ever heard of the Freljord, that piece of ice in the far north?"
Ahu and Aman looked at each other.
Both of them shook their heads.
Living in Zaun, their knowledge of the outside world is limited to Piltover. They have no intention of understanding the world further away, nor do they have the ability.
Lin Luo smiled and suddenly took out something from his backpack.
"This is the gift I gave you before I left."
Aman took it over and looked at it in surprise, and found that it was actually a world map made of special materials!
That's right, this is a world map of Runeterra.
The manufacturing method is very simple. Many professions in life can make them, such as bards, archaeologists, etc. These are all available in the hero army. He can have as many as he wants.
"Why did you give me this?"
Aman was very puzzled. She opened a bottle of wine and poured Lin Luo a glass.
Lin Luo raised his head and finished, and explained with a smile:
"Aman, Ahu... This world is very big. If you want to see the beauty of this world, you must look at the world and start by understanding the world."
While he was speaking, he glanced at the progress bar in the upper right corner.
The progress bar at this time has reached 90%. After drinking this practice wine, the mission of Twin City will be completely completed, and it is time for him to leave.
"Thank you very much. I'll take a good look at it. This time it's my turn."
Aman put away the map and went to the bar to make drinks.
Only then did Lin Luo remember that he had drank twice in the Shimmer Bar.
The first time was when I just met Aman, and this time I wanted to leave. Both times, it was for free.
As for paying...
Well, definitely next time!
Various cups and cups were exchanged, and Lin Luoquan should enjoy the short leisure time before leaving.
But it didn't last long. Lin Luo suddenly heard a rumbling sound, as if some terrifying existence was about to attack.
Everyone in the Shimmer Bar stood up in shock.
Aman's expression suddenly changed, and a creepy feeling came from far away.
That is the sense of crisis that only occurs when encountering great terror!
"not good……"
Aman said solemnly:
"I feel that there is an extremely terrifying force heading here, and even I am no match for it!!"
Lin Luo was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to suddenly remember something and said quickly:
"Don't be nervous, I think I guessed who the visitor is."
Aman looked at him doubtfully, Lin Luo shrugged and said:
"It's a friend of mine. He should have come here a long time ago, but I don't know what happened... He should not be hostile."
--boom!!!
A huge roar made Lin Luo shut up in shock.
He saw the door of Shimmer Bar being kicked into powder, and a strong and tall body rushed in!
This body was actually stained with blood and even somewhat scarred!
Silas gasped for air, his expression obviously tired from running around, and he quickly ran to Lin Luo's side.
"Lin! No... no... I'm sorry... I encountered a very troublesome thing along the way... so I was delayed for a long time..."
Look at him panting.
Just know that he is not lying.
Silas grabbed a bottle of strong wine and drank it, wiped his mouth and said:
"You must have encountered difficulties when you came to me. Tell me, who is the enemy? Even if you tell me, you will never refuse if you can do your best!"
Lin Luo opened his mouth, but he really couldn't stop him.
It's useless for you to come now, I'm ready to leave with the bucket.
"Uh...it's okay, I've finished everything."
Lin Luo shrugged, looked at him curiously and said:
"It's you instead. What happened to you? There shouldn't be many people who can make you like this. Who did it?"
He remembered correctly that more than two natural days had passed since the eve of the war, and Silas was nearly two days late.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!"
Silas gritted his teeth and seemed to have experienced a lot in the past two days.
"To tell you the truth, I set off very early! But on the way I met the army of Winter's Claws, and the Ice Demon was raging on the snowfield. I was blocked by the most terrifying Ice Demon, and I and the Winter's Claw
The war mother and the army joined forces to kill the ice demon... so the time was delayed for a long time."
Lin Luo couldn't help frowning when he heard what he said.
The amount of information in this sentence is unimaginable.
According to his understanding, the Winter's Claw is one of the three ancestral tribes of the Freljord. In terms of combat effectiveness, that tribe is probably stronger than the Twin Cities combined. Their tribal war mother is called
Sejuani, she also has a more familiar name, called Pig Girl.
"What is the Ice Devil?"
Lin Luo asked.
He guessed right, it must be some kind of monster.
And what makes Silas and Zhuang Seni join forces is by no means a simple monster.
"That's exactly what I'm going to talk about. These are the monsters that appear in Freljord every year during the Ice and Snow Festival. Their birthplace is..."
Silas spoke solemnly, but suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
He glanced around the bar, showed an expression of distrust, and whispered:
"This matter is of great importance... Let's talk about it on the way to Freljord. It's not very convenient here."
Lin Luo's eyes began to think.
Although he didn't know what happened, he probably had some guesses.
"Could it be that something unspeakable has happened in Freljord now?"
Silas shook his head and said:
"You can understand it this way, but it doesn't happen suddenly. It happens every year during the Ice and Snow Festival. It's the day of the Ice and Snow Festival. Don't you even look at the calendar?"
Lin Luo understood.
Of course there are various festivals in Runeterra, the most important of which is probably the Ice and Snow Festival.
Lin Luo had a strange expression and said:
"So, you happened to run into trouble at this time? Fortunately, I have many cards, otherwise things here would really be impossible to solve."
But he didn't mean to blame Silas.
There are unpredictable circumstances, and accidents always happen inadvertently.
"This...I didn't know it would be like this!"
Silas sighed, looking helpless.
He thought for a while and said:
"Okay, okay, as a friend, I will make it up to you. When will we set off?"
According to the previous agreement, Lin Luo must go to Freljord, and the goal is very obvious, which is to go to Avarosa, one of the three major tribes, which is the tribe of the Ice Queen.
"Don't worry, I have one last thing to do!"
Lin Luo looked at the progress bar in the upper right corner and saw that it had reached the final ninety-nine percent.
When the progress bar is completely full, it means that Jace's mission is completely completed!
[Tip: Congratulations on completing the final mission of future guardian Jace: fighting for a better tomorrow!]

Lin Luo opened his eyes suddenly, he was shocked by this reward!
Before that, he only thought about winning the war and getting rewards from Zaun.
But I didn’t expect that the real good show would be in Piltover. If obtaining Zaun’s waterway trading rights is equivalent to having countless wealth, then obtaining the parliamentary seat in Piltover is equivalent to possessing terrifying power.
that power!
And he has also become a speaker on Evolution Day, during which he will receive achievement points. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Lin Luo's hands trembled slightly.
Good guy...
This wave is really profitable!!
…
…………
"Jace, what's the best thing to do later? You are an experienced person, please teach me."
at this time.
Evolution podium and dressing room behind the scenes.
Several very well-known life player makeup artists were dressing up Lin Luo, trimming his thick eyebrows, and blowing and curling his hair. Lin Luo looked at himself in the makeup mirror. Every Evolution Day speech must be
Wear a very decent and elegant rose gentleman suit.
Lin Luo felt like he was becoming more classy.
Of course it just feels like he is actually a cold hunter with no emotions.
"It's very simple. There is nothing to be nervous about. Relax. There may be a huge crowd of people looking at you. Don't be stressed. Take a deep breath before going on stage. Don't make mistakes in your speech. It's better to have a more energetic tone.
, after all this is Piltover’s most important evolution day.”
Jess sat next to him with a smile, crossed his arms and said this.
There is a very important day in Piltover, which is Evolution Day.
However, this is not a fixed festival, but an unprecedented grand day that will be held when Piltover undergoes historic changes.
The first evolutionary day was when the Zaans developed technology!
At that time, it was also the first time technology was born in the entire Runeterra, which was destined to be groundbreaking.
To commemorate this sacred moment, people held the first Evolution Day.
It can be said that Evolution Day is the day that symbolizes Piltover's further progress.
On that Evolution Day, the speaker was also a familiar person.
That's right, it's Heimerdinger, the pioneer of Piltover and the yordle who lived for more than three hundred years.
He is respected as the great inventor.
He was also the speaker on the first Evolution Day in history.
As for the second evolution day.
It was the day Hex Technology came out.
Hex technology is a kind of magic technology.
Its research theory is based on the magic in the world, so it will not cause pollution, which completely subverts and changes technology, directly laying the foundation for scientific breakthroughs.
Needless to say about the speaker on that Evolution Day.
That's right, it's our future guardian - Jace, so he can become a councilor and has extremely high prestige among the people.
This is also the reason why he was able to persuade the people in previous wars.
"Now that things have happened... Piltover has ushered in its third evolution day!"
Jace's tone was somewhat nostalgic and even more emotional.
"I discussed it with Victor and Mr. Heimerdinger, and we agreed..."
A silent voice came over, and Dr. Victor pushed the door open and entered:
"We believe that only you are qualified to be the speaker on this Evolution Day, Lin."
Of course Lin Luo doesn't reject it, this is definitely a good thing.
But he still asked:
"But as far as I know, only those who create disruptive technologies are qualified to be Evolution Day speakers, right?"
At this time, Professor Heimerdinger also walked in, and he said with a smile:
"Who said that? Do you know what the fundamental purpose of creating technology is?"
Lin Luo subconsciously said:
"Of course it is to change people's lives and make human existence happier!"
Heimerdinger showed a smiling expression:
"Yes, Lin, you have already done it! So you should become one of the new MPs in Piltover. Who else can be the speaker for this Evolution Day besides you?"
Lin Luo suddenly realized it, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Wherever we are, it is the joint efforts of all of us. On the difficult road of revolution, there will always be a large number of people struggling hand in hand."
At this time, Heimerdinger suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Besides...there are actually other reasons..."
He coughed twice and said:
"King Jarvan of Demacia and General Darius of Noxus have both obtained seats in Piltover's Gentile Council. We must have someone who can check and balance them both. This
The people who click on our Twin City simply can't do it, and it's just you... So we must elevate your status so that they don't dare to act rashly. There are more details of power checks and balances, which are endless.
