Chapter 385 World Pattern
The Bouvier family's mansion is located on the west side of the capital, close to the sea cliffs of the large sea port, and some distance from the Dawn Castle.
If you drive, it will take at least one and a half to two hours to get there.
It's still early today, and Li Lin just wants to take a walk in Xiongdu and experience the local customs.
Although Li Lin had already used a drone to preview the entire city-state structure when he entered Xiongdu, the feeling of personal experience and general browsing are completely different.
The winter in Demacia is cold, and the same is true in the capital city on the west coast of Valoran, near the Sea of Conquerors.
In the early morning, the rising sun could not dispel the severe cold all night, but those small vendors who needed to make a living had to go to market early. While blowing hot air into their palms wearing coarse cloth gloves, they prayed in a low voice to the winged protector, praying for today. Able to sell more goods.
These are still people who are "qualified" to live in Demacia in relatively peaceful times.
It is hard to imagine what the living standards of the civilians who suffered from the Mage Rebellion and the Curse of Destruction would be like in the hundreds of years of frequent wars with Noxus in the past and in the future.
Li Lin, who was walking silently on the street, saw this and couldn't help but think of Piltover and Zaun two years ago.
The middle- and lower-class "community clerks" in the upper city are so busy trying to make a living that they barely have enough food, clothing, and transportation in a month.
Not to mention the people of Dicheng, it would be great to find a job that barely provides enough food and clothing, but is extremely harmful to the body...
However, the Twin Cities are now prospering. With the protection of Li Lin and the goddess of wind Janna, apart from the threat of the void, they will basically maintain long-term peace and stability.
After being governed by Jarvan III, Demacia has changed a lot since he first came to the throne.
Coupled with Morgana's willingness to return, if the reform of the Forbidden Magic Order goes smoothly, Demacia will be able to be fully prepared to deal with future world crises as soon as possible.
Demacia will be Li Lin's first ally, and the next one will be Shurima.
But since he wants to form an alliance, he represents not only the Gila Mann family, but the entire Piltover, and even Zaun.
In addition, his status is quite special. Noxus may think that Piltover is no longer neutral, and it is not easy to explain to the Piltover Council.
Except for Karina, Heimerdinger, and Mel, the other four council members are too short-sighted and don't know much about the void, so they probably won't understand the purpose of the alliance.
But if we can win Camille's support, the Twin Cities will most likely not be a problem.
As for what Swain, who can predict the future, would think...
Li Lin is not yet informed.
After all, Noxus is still mired in the quagmire of rebellion among the major city-states in the domain, and has not yet completely stabilized.
If the empire was to be completely stable, he would have to grapple with how to get Demacia and Noxus, two countries with a century-old feud, to settle their differences and be willing to form an alliance.
Not only that, he also had to beware of Swain sending war masons into Piltover.
It seems that only world crises such as the "Curse of Ruin" or the more serious "Return of the Army of the Dead" can push everyone in Valoran to truly unite.
"The union of Valoran is a problem. On the Freljord side, Warmother Ashe of the Avarosa Tribe should be easy to talk to, but Warmother Sejuani of the Winter's Claw Tribe is hard to get in touch with. Frost Guard's Warmother Not to mention Lissandra..."
If it hadn't been for the last moment, Li Lin really didn't want to get involved with this "Leading Party" who almost had the entire Runeterra devoured by the Void Monitor for the sake of power.
The demigods don't even have to think about it.
Aoun, the incarnation of flame, is relatively withdrawn and arrogant, so he only cares about matters involving his followers.
Volibear, the incarnation of thunder and storm, has a bad temper. He wants to return humans to primitive society and bring war to them, so he is not a person with whom he can communicate.
According to Anivia, she once fought against the evil spirits infected by the void, and died with them and turned into eggs. I wonder if she has been reborn in Nirvana now.
"However, Winter's Claw has been in conflict with Noxus in the past two years, and even captured Darius for a period of time. In the past few years, it often robbed the Demacia border... Oh, it's not easy to handle."
Li Lin couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Since the Freljord is a problem, it's better to focus on Ionia.
Bilgewater on the Blue Flame Islands was automatically ignored by him.
Now there is no need to consider Ganglank, who is known as the "Disaster of the Ocean", as the talker. Only Sarah Doom, who is still a bounty hunter, and the local Baru people who believe in Naga Kapoulos can communicate.
But Sarah is just an ordinary person, with great marksmanship, but she is probably not as good as Caitlin, and she is considered the weakest fighter among the "heroes" of Runeterra.
As for the Sea Beast Sacrifice of the Baru people, Illaoi, the True One of Naga Kabolos, probably only had the opportunity to come into contact with him when the Curse of Destruction came.
"Well...Irelia, the leader of Ionia, should have given up her leadership position. Now the whole of Ionia should be in the catastrophe of the Shadow Stream sect, and there is also the Brotherhood of Navoli, who faked his death and retreated behind the scenes. The original Eye of Twilight Kushuo Control.
"Jie is not a problem, but his personality is a bit radical. Ku Shuo should have been eroded by the 'Tears of Shadow' from the source of Shadow Stream's shadow magic. He cannot be trusted.
“The new Twilight Eye of the Balance Sect is a little rigid in his behavior, but it is indeed very important to maintain the balance between the material and spiritual realms of Ionia, and the purpose of the void is to devour everything, so it is impossible for him not to take action.
“Karma, the soul of Ionia, is a capable assistant, but is too rigid. The current host is still a bit immature and mentally unstable.
"I am thankful that she can not be affected by the Curse of Destruction and take action against Ionia. I guess she will only help when the army of the dead lands in the First Land and when the Void descends.
"Master Yi, the Infinite Swordsman, as long as he can solve the problem of imbalance between the material and spiritual realms in his hometown, he should be happy to help with some world crises, as long as his sword is not stained with blood again.
"Oh, by the way, there is also Syndra who controls the power of darkness and is as powerful as the Soul of Ionia... Hiss, she seems to have a deep hatred for the Ionians because she was sealed."
Li Lin scratched his head, feeling extremely distressed.
Ionia is good everywhere, with a high upper limit of high-end combat power, and the protection of various kind-hearted spirits in the spiritual realm...
However, the current Ionia can be described as a sky full of stars when scattered, and a pile of shit when gathered together.
The various high-ranking officials and old councils are in charge of their own affairs, and they cannot even stop the invasion of a small mortal country, or they are unwilling to take care of it for the so-called "balance".
When the Curse of Ruin comes and Mordekaiser returns with his army of the dead, they may take care of it if they hit Ionia, but if they fail to hit it, they may just "don't worry about it".
To say that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, or that the city gate is on fire and the fish in the pond are affected?
Sorry, they really say they are not familiar with this.
"It's hard to do. It's no wonder that the background of previous games has to be revised. If you put it into the real world, those who have the ability, who are you looking down on the 'League of Legends'?"
Just when Li Lin was worrying about how to establish his "League of Heroes", in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the gate of the Bouvier family mansion and was stopped by two guards who came forward.
"Lord Barrett is going to Dawn Castle. Do you have an appointment to meet?"
Li Lin thought for a moment and responded with a polite smile: "Please tell Mr. Barrett that Li Lin is visiting."
