It was obvious that, with almost no knowledge of Lux, Kalya had prepared another big plan.
And Lux, who realized this, had an inexplicable feeling of "getting it right" even though she was not notified in advance - she unexpectedly discovered that she seemed to be particularly excited when Kalya was doing something.
.
"However, before everything starts, Zaun still needs to make more preparations." Sensing Lux's excitement, Kalya reminded, "The goals of the second three-year plan have been set, and joint cooperation experiments
The shelves in the room have been set up, and Ino can help with the rest of the matter... However, I'm afraid the Zaun people may not be able to adapt to your absence."
"Everyone...will eventually adapt, right?"
When Kalya didn't talk about the issue of divinity, Lux didn't realize that Zaun had any special connection with herself. He was considered the founder of the new Zaun, but Lux believed that when rune technology really took off,
On the right track, the Zaun people can live a good life even without themselves watching over them.
But now, after realizing that she had been tainted with Zaun's divinity, Lux still felt very awkward at the thought of leaving Zaun—even if it was just for a short time.
"Yes, you are right." After hesitating for a moment, Lux finally nodded, "It may take some time for everyone to adapt."
The news of Lux's departure from Zaun was ultimately not revealed to many people.
On the one hand, this is for the sake of stabilizing the situation in Zaun, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of confidentiality-just as Kalya said, the purpose of her trip is not just as simple as dealing with the divinity in herself. In addition, she
It is also necessary to open a trade route to Ionia for Zaun.
Relying solely on land trade with Kalduga, Kumangla, Kenese and other places is now unable to fully support Zaun's subsequent development.
In Jace's eyes, the joint cooperative experiment meant the final rescue of his friend Victor; but from Zaun's perspective, this was clearly a full-scale competition with Piltover.
There is no direct battle.
In this contest, Zaun and Piltover each have their own advantages, and neither side is currently overwhelming.
And Ionian trade is likely to become an important bargaining chip that changes the tilt of the balance-the once closed land of birth will inevitably open its doors after this war is over, regardless of whether it is willing or not, and because of Ionian
Due to its geographical location, it needs a reliable trade distribution center.
Zu'an just wants to be this trade distribution center.
Through Singed and Mr. Shadow, Zaun took the lead in joining the Shadow Stream line, and now has a head start in Ionia trade.
And what Lux has to do next is to go to Bilgewater and change the problem of Zaun having no ships or ports!
……………………
"So, are we going to convince that Gangplank?" Lux quietly left Zaun, sneaked onto a ship bound for Bilgewater at the dock in Piltover, Lux said excitedly
He asked, "Ocean Disaster, right? He's a very famous guy, but Camille has already been in contact with him. Can we really catch up from behind?"
"It's very difficult!" Kalya said in an exaggerated tone, "They are all old foxes for thousands of years. Even the people in Piltover can't do it by trying to win over them."
"But I remember what Camille said during the negotiations!" Lux said with some confusion, "She said that Piltover and Zaun can cooperate in Ionia trade, and Zaun is responsible for communicating about the source of goods.
Piltover can contact Gangplank to ship the goods."
"Do you believe what she said?" Kalya sneered, "Believe me, if we really get Planck and solve the transportation problem, Camille will never negotiate with us, but will go it alone -
Ionia is not just an influential force with the Shadow Stream Sect. If you want to purchase goods, there are many channels."
"Is that so?" Lux blinked, "So, she was just using nothing before?"
"Absolutely." Kalya snorted, "Camille is a very thoughtful guy, but it's a pity that she is a businessman after all, and sometimes the layout is just a little too small... On the stage in Piltover, her ability
It's enough, but if it were placed throughout Runeterra, it would be somewhat uninteresting."
"..."
Lux just blinked at Kalya's harsh comment.
"Camille, this guy, definitely spent a lot of money to maintain the relationship with Bilgewater." Kalya continued to say firmly, "Unfortunately, her work is destined to be ineffective. The Golden Sea of Piltover
Although Max is good, Planck is not a man who makes money honestly."
"He is a pirate!" Lux seemed to understand very well, "How can a pirate make money honestly?"
"This statement is biased." Kalya denied this statement, "If possible, the pirates would actually prefer to make money honestly, but the problem is, the pirate leader does not want it."
"What do you mean?" Lux blinked in surprise, "Glank and his pirates are not of the same mind?"
"Now we should be united. Didn't you read the news before? After the Noxians were defeated in Presidence and the main navy was ambushed in Tulu Bay, Gangplank took the opportunity to take action and robbed a lot of Noxians.
A good thing for the Sri Lankan people." When talking about this topic, Kalja's tone was inexplicably happy, "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the background of pirates. Gangplank has just come into the limelight recently, and his pirates are probably lining up to give them to him for the loot.
He's licking his boots!"
"Then you're saying that the pirates want to make money honestly, but Gangplank doesn't?"
"For pirates, no matter how you make money, you can make money. If they can come ashore with a clean conscience, there is nothing wrong with it. How can an old sea dog have so much passion, blood and courage to fight?" Kalya explained in detail, "But if they come ashore with a clean conscience,
Come ashore, do you think someone like Planck can still be their leader?"
"..."
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux fell silent - maybe Gangplank is good at leading raids, but will he be good at running trade?
"So, Camille has been saving others by herself. Feros has the technology to make artificial Hex crystals. An An Wen can make money relying on technical barriers, but what does Plank have?"
"..."
"If Bilgewater becomes a part of Ionia's trade, how will Gangplank deal with it? Should he become the protector of this trade chain and be a logistics and security leader with peace of mind, or should he be surpassed by the times and sigh with emotion, 'I
Are they the remnants of the old era? The new era has no ship to carry me, and then it ends sadly?"
"So he doesn't want to join this trade." Lux finally nodded suddenly, "Maybe the life of a sailor employee is better than that of a pirate, but the life of a logistics and security leader will not be better than an ocean disaster."
"That's it." Kalya chuckled, "So, asking Planck for people and ships to engage in trade is fundamentally wrong!"
"Then what should we do?" Lux thought for a moment, "Replace Gangplank?"
"Absolutely - the entire Bilgewater, maybe not much else, but there are people everywhere who have a grudge against Gangplank and are ambitious themselves."
