Time flies, and there is only one month left before Piltover's next evolution day. In the past year of development, Piltover and Zaun have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The first is the universal capsule. After more than a year of promotion, even the northernmost ice people have heard about this miraculous technological product and sent caravans to Piltover or Bilgewater to purchase it and bring it to Piltover.
Here comes the big fur trade.
Mink and bear skin clothing once became fashionable commodities in winter, and there is no need to go into details about other commodities from various places. This made Leather City's position as a trade center more stable and its wealth further enhanced.
What followed was the emergence of universal capsule factories one after another in Zaun City, which solved the livelihood problems of a large number of Zaun civilians. The birth of the low-cost "universal trash can", the sewage-discharging steam robot made by Victor, and more
Zaun’s environmental problems are managed at two levels.
Even if Zaun is at the lowest level today, outsiders no longer need to wear oxygen masks or air filters when entering, and will only feel a little dirty. As for the gang problem, it is no longer a problem under the suppression of the Gray Lady.
As for Hex Technology, it also experienced rapid development after Jess was made public last year.
Miners as far away as Shurima have already used Hex Miner's Gloves half a year ago. More Hex Technology products have also been developed and sold to various places after Heimerdinger's reluctant safety review.
, among which the Demacia and Noxus military have purchased the most.
If Ji Xing returns to Noxus, he will definitely see something familiar in Draven.
As for the interior of Piltover, Hex Technology can be seen everywhere. People in Piltover have regarded Hex Technology and Universal Capsules as the pride of the city-state, and various types of Universal Capsules have spread to almost every household.
Now, most people walking on the streets wear some small mechanical prostheses, even if they don't originally need them, to show off their wealth and status.
When 10-year-old Sami entered this city-state, he opened his eyes wide and looked around. Having lived in a desert village since he was a child, he looked at this "modern" city and it seemed like a miracle.
The other Shurima friends around me, even the elderly, were all dazzled, feeling like they were walking from one world to another.
Suddenly, Sami's eyes were attracted by a couple walking towards them. The woman had an implanted mandibular plate on her face and wore a gem-shaped monocle. The man wore metal gloves, and the grid plane reflected the
Shining light.
Mechanics, gems, monocles... the most attractive things for boys are put together. He couldn't help but envy: "So handsome~"
Taliyah, who had seen a lot of things, nodded in agreement. The couple walking towards them seemed to have heard the exaggeration of the foreigners, and smiled in greeting, enjoying the children's praise.
But at this moment, Sivir frowned: "Why do I think that looks fake? Isn't that thing on the woman's face really made of silver foil stuck with glue? I have been fooled and killed by similar means before.
I have several gold coins."
As soon as these words came out, the couple suddenly stopped. Looking dissatisfied, the woman said: "Looking at your clothes, are you Shuriman, right? Guys living in the desert, don't judge unseen technological products at will.
This is Piltover!"
She raised her head proudly, adding persuasiveness to her words, but there were arrogant ancestors in the team. Qiyana immediately pouted: "It seems you are right, Sivir, she is very guilty."
"...I?! I feel guilty?!" Seeing the doubtful looks of the Shurima children, the woman became anxious.
Ji Xing smiled and shook his head, stepped forward and pointed to a mechanical prosthetic shop not far away.
"Since you are making a fake, you have to be mentally prepared to be discovered. Work hard, you two, and buy a genuine product next time. May the gears turn in the right direction."
The unique way of greeting people from Piltover made the woman regain some calmness. She blushed and wanted to quibble, but she couldn't help but hesitated after following Ji Xing's guidance and looking at the store.
That is the shop of Colin Levick, one of Piltover's most famous inventors of mechanical prosthetics. His craftsmanship is so exquisite that he can cooperate with Hex stones to produce Hex technology prosthetics.
This is not the point. The point is the huge portrait poster posted outside the famous store. The smiling young man in it...why does he look so familiar?
"Mr. Sewell?!" The man shouted first, and the woman was both excited and uneasy.
"Yes, I'm sorry, we..."
Ji Xing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Pi City will have opportunities to take off in the future. Hex Technology's costs will also be reduced, and you will live the life you want."
"……thank you."
"May the gears turn in the right direction."
The couple left in shame and excitement. Qiyana didn't pay much attention to the two vain ordinary people. Such people can be found everywhere. She just shook her head and said: "This is the third time I have seen your poster along the way.
Yeah, it’s really awkward.”
"There are few enough." Sivir looked around and said, "I thought Sivir would be Piltover's Azir."
After this episode, the Shuriman people behind them became less deified of Piltover. The children and Talija soon chatted together, discussing novel things.
Kasha felt very uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because there were too many fancy clothes here. Her appearance did not attract many people's attention. A few people even praised her "handsomeness"... But I have to say,
This city is very reassuring.
Quickly passing by the mechanical prosthetic shop where Ji Xing's poster was posted, Ji Xing took a look.
There was a cute girl sitting in the shop, lowering her head and playing with a brass palm. She seemed to have unusually sharp eyesight. She also looked up at Ji Xing and blinked.
The next moment, she ran out as fast as she could, almost tripping over the threshold. She ran up to Ji Xing, raised her head and said excitedly: "Mr. Sewell, is your trip over? You just returned to Pi City.
?Yes, can you sign your name for me?"
Ji Xing smiled: "Of course, I just returned to Pi City for ten minutes."
The girl hurriedly groped her body again, turned around and ran back to the store: "Please wait for me!"
Obviously, she went to find paper and pen. Qiyana laughed and said: "No wonder your posters are posted outside the store. The fanatical look in your eyes by this girl is like those of religious believers."
"That's all you saw?" Ji Xing asked.
Qiyana was startled: "Huh?"
"The affinity of magic." Ji Xing smiled slightly and said: "The magic around her is very gentle, even more than that of Taliyah. She only needs the opportunity to awaken. It seems that your knowledge of magic veins is not sophisticated enough. Tonight
Copy it five times for me."
Qiyana's little face fell: "Is it true or not? Just that girl?"
Sivir laughed happily.
Ji Xing is also somewhat interested. Taliyah's innate magical talent is already rare in the world, and there are "outside" talents in Piltover that can surpass her... Ji Xing has some vague guesses.
Soon, the girl holding the notebook ran out panting again, and happily handed it to Ji Xing with both hands. Ji Xing asked, "What's your name?"
"Well, I'm Orianna!"
Ji Xing smiled knowingly and started writing: "I wish Miss Orianna always good health and a happy and comfortable life. - Sewell"
"Thank you!" Orianna said in surprise.
According to the original destiny, this lovely girl would be infected with an incurable disease due to an accident in Zu'an, and she would have to replace her body organs and limbs with mechanical products little by little, and eventually become a "clockwork demon".
But now, this kind of thing will probably never happen. She will go all the way in her favorite career and have a richer future.
And the movement here was finally noticed by more people. When they saw Ji Xing, they all became excited and fanatical, but Ji Xing just waved his hand, and they knew better and stopped disturbing him. Instead, they separated the road and let Ji Xing
Wait for people to pass by.
Soon, they passed through the Street of Stars and arrived at the Agnostic Square. The Ball of Zindaro still stood motionless, but the square was surrounded by Piltover people as if it were the day of evolution.
The gentle singing of nature comes from the square
The sound of music instantly calmed down the fears of the Shuriman people who had just arrived in Piltover. Both the elderly and children closed their eyes to enjoy the music, which did not distinguish between city-states and nationalities, and recalled the happiest past.
Even Qiyana and Sivir were intoxicated for a few seconds, and Kai'Sa even felt that the devouring desire brought by the void spirit in her body had been relieved to a certain extent.
They looked at each other in shock, this is...
"Her name is Seraphine. When I returned to Piltover in January, she was a newly famous singer. Now she is probably a well-known star." Ji Xing smiled and said, "As you can see, she
He also possesses special magic that can heal people's pain through singing. When you are in Pi City, you can come and listen to it more often."
They stood on tiptoe and looked, Qiyana flew up in the low altitude, and saw a girl wearing small leather shoes, white pants and a princess dress, with long pink hair, who was as delicate as a cartoon character, singing softly to Piltover.
My husband's background is a bit out of place, but he is as beautiful as an angel.
"Hey, hey, this guy..." The corners of Qiyana's mouth twitched, how come she seems more noble than this queen?
At this time, the sound of hard-soled boots hitting the ground came, and a sassy female voice sounded: "Back? Sevier. It seems...you went to Shurima? I heard that Azir, the last emperor of the Shurima Empire, was resurrected.
Real or fake, have you seen it?"
Ji Xing looked at the policewoman who was getting taller and more elegant, and said with a smile: "Tell Chief Caitlin, I saw it! He is busy rebuilding Shurima, and it will not affect the Twin Cities for the time being!"
Caitlin rolled her eyes, glanced at the curious Shurimans, and said, "Okay, let's talk when you are free. Call Jace and the others. I still have to go on duty. Seraphine's fans are very
Crazy and caused us a lot of trouble."
"Wait, I still have something to trouble you." Ji Xing turned around and introduced: "This is Miss Caitlin, the law enforcement officer of Pi City. She is the leader in protecting the safety of the twin cities. If you encounter trouble in Pi City, you don't have to go to them.
I just need to find her.
Well, that doesn’t include you taking the initiative to cause trouble, otherwise she won’t give me face and will arrest you.”
Caitlin stretched out her hand to Sivir, who looked like the leader of the group, and said: "Welcome to Piltover, I am Caitlin. As Sivir said, Piltover now gathers businessmen and tourists from all over the world, with different habits.
Occasionally there will be some friction and misunderstanding among everyone.
You are Sewell's friends, and you are my friends. If you encounter trouble, you can have someone come to me at the police station, provided that you abide by the laws of Piltover."
Sivir looked her up and down, thinking with excitement and regret that there would be little chance of abducting her into a mercenary group, and shook hands with her.
Ji Xing added: "Then let's separate here temporarily, Sivir, Taliyah. There are many short-term and long-term rental houses and hotels on the street to the west. You can choose as you like."
Sivir gave Ji Xing a Shurima OK sign, and the children behind him chirped, "Goodbye, Uncle Sivir!"
"Brother, don't forget to teach me magic!"
The old people expressed their gratitude and followed Sivir and Taliyah in the other direction.
Caitlin also went back to stand guard, leaving only Qiyana and Kai'Sa beside Ji Xing.
"Let's go to Philos' house."
With tons of gold coins brought by the universal capsule, the Philos family's manor has been expanded several times, recruiting countless orphans from the twin cities and cultivating strong men from all over the world. As soon as he arrived at the door, Ji Xing, who had a strong physique, could hear the enthusiastic words
Howl.
The guards at the door have also been replaced by elites, but naturally they don't even recognize Ji Xing. When they saw him, they immediately said respectfully and excitedly: "Mr. Sewell, you are back!"
"Well, is the Gray Lady here?"
"This... we don't know, but we are going to inform you?" a guard said.
"Well, go ahead."
A guard hurried into the manor, while Ji Xing led the two of them through the long street while casually introducing the manor's facilities.
Qiyana and Kai'Sa soon discovered that the respect Ji Xing received in this manor had risen to another level, and it was really like facing Azir.
Soon, with the sound of the blade touching the ground, Camille walked over and stood in front of her.
After briefly meeting Ji Xing's eyes, he moved towards Kaisha.
The two looked at each other, and they both read something familiar from each other, and one of them mechanically ascended, and the other merged with the void.
Ji Xing nodded to Camille, turned around and introduced: "This is Qiyana, temporarily learning magic with me. This is Kai'Sa, um... she can be considered my experimental subject for the time being."
Camille looked sideways slightly. She didn't like the feeling on Qiyana's body very much, but since she was Ji Xing's apprentice, she didn't say anything. She just said as she walked: "You went to Shurima? You met Shurima.
Azir, Emperor of Mar?"
"I saw it, it's okay, it won't affect us for the time being."
Ji Xing repeated the same answer he gave to Caitlin, and took out the ascension potion: "Mrs. Camille, we will start selling new products next."
Camille was startled, and as Ji Xing explained, her eyes gradually widened as she could not control her emotions.
