Chapter 279 [0277] Showdown

With some people fallen and some fed, a new round of benefit distribution was completed within the Piltover Parliament.

Although there are still many uncertainties in their future, Camille and the councilors have reached an agreement and chosen a direction.

The guy who was destined to cut the meat knew the current affairs well and was determined to stop the loss, so the situation naturally stabilized.

The situation in Piltover was completely different. In Zaun, where the city was under martial law, after Lux's negotiation minutes were sent back, in the largest conference room of the government building, a group of Zaun people were sitting around the conference table. The boss, however, fell into silence invariably.

Fandel from the security office held his pipe in his mouth without saying a word.

Hilko from the Intelligence Department crushed her most precious eyelash curler.

Sevika from the Law Enforcement Department disassembled her robotic arm.

Majia in the trial hall wiped the thick-soled lenses of her eyes.

Lenata, the president of the Alchemy Association, let out a low cough.

Pucado, president of the Architectural Association, pressed his broad knuckles.

Sandra, the president of the trade association, twitched her nose uneasily.

Ma Kui, the president of the Planning Association, stared with big eyes.

…

…

The simple note from Lux seemed to have some incredible magic of silence cast upon it. When it passed through everyone's hands and finally returned to the hands of Secretary-General Ino, the whole meeting was filled with excitement. You can almost hear a pin drop indoors.

In Zaun, Lux is not a dictatorial person. Every idea and policy she proposes is based on convincing the relevant person in charge.

Before meeting Lux, it was hard for everyone to imagine that a little girl could explain principles or plans so clearly.

This is a good thing for Zaun.

But at this moment, it almost means that Lux has determined that she must leave.

Piltover can lose the Sungate Sea Lock.

But Zaun cannot lose Lux.

Even though she had been able to admit her identity and told everyone her name was Laxana.

Swain and Camille both believed that once Lux's Demacia background was exposed, the Zaun people would be dissatisfied.

But in fact, in Zaun, not many people know that Lux is from Demacia!

If it was just because of Demacia, she wouldn't have to leave - Zaun was originally a city of immigrants, and it was full of bankrupts with nowhere to go, frustrated people whose dreams of Piltover were broken, and people who were bought out of nowhere. As a private worker, Zaun's Demacia origin would not repel him.

As for whether anyone is worried that Lux represents the interests of Demacia and makes Zaun bleed for Demacia...

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the fact that Zaun and Demacia were 20,000 miles apart, people who knew Lux's origins would have been thinking about whether Zaun could join Demacia.

If you're not a Zaunite, it's hard to understand what Lux means to this city.

Lux has only been in Zaun for three years.

Three years is a long time. It lasts until the city of Zaun is turned upside down, and until the people of Zuan go from being precarious to having enough food and clothing.

But three years is also a short period of time, so short that the people of Zaun have not forgotten who led them to achieve all this.

From explaining the origin of poverty in Zaun, to leading the Zaun people to defeat the Alchemist Baron; from planning the first blueprint, to personally rushing to Bilgewater for diplomacy; from the establishment of basic art theory, to the development of compulsory education in Zaun; From the first bucket of mortar in the municipal building to the demoulding of the first alchemical rune stone...

Zaun was reborn from the ruins. Every time he was confused and at a loss, Lux was able to stand up and find the way forward.

In the past three years, the Zaun people have already become accustomed to Lux leading them, taking Zaun's first step in this field.

Like a fierce woman descended from heaven, Lux brought the first ray of blazing sunshine to Zaun.

Why was Lux able to obtain the godhead of the God of Zaun so easily?

Because she has indeed been recognized by most of the people of Zuan - this is the godhead that the people of Zuan have condensed for her.

And now, Lux is leaving.

In the conference hall of the municipal building, everyone present should stay rational, especially Lux who specifically noted on the note that she indeed needed to leave.

but……

This is still unacceptable.

Finally, seeing that the conference room was becoming smoky, Ino cleared her throat and broke the suffocating silence.

"As for leaving Zaun, it was part of the plan." Her voice was as cold as ever, "Miss Lux... she has to go home after all."

Fandel put down his pipe after hearing this, revealing his face that was blurred by the smoke: "Zu'an can also be her home."

"Furthermore, I heard that Demacia bans magic." Sandra, who was in charge of official trade, muttered in a voice that everyone could hear. "The Demacians say that all mages are evil, and they will banish the mages in the territory. ”

"So, maybe we can send special manpower to bring Miss Lux's relatives over?" Ma Kui looked eager to try. "The three-year plan has been successfully completed. We now have sufficient manpower and materials to bring this part as well. Join the plan——"

"Nowadays, those Piltover guys are just talking hard." Hilko also snorted, "After today's troubles, those Piltover councilors now only have their mouths."

"They want Ms. Lux to leave." Renata, who is always taciturn, rarely expressed her opinion directly, "Then she should not leave even more."

"That's right..."

"That's right--"

The conference room, which was quiet just now, suddenly became very lively. Everyone talked about it, found countless excuses for Lux not to leave, and proposed countless alternatives. Everyone was expressing their opinions, and without exception, they did not want Lux to leave at this time.

Faced with this situation, Ino was also a little helpless. Seeing that everyone's emotions began to get excited, she could only raise the note in her hand and shake it.

"Stop-pause!" Ino raised her voice helplessly, "Regarding your opinions, it shouldn't be me who conveys them. Didn't Lux say that the reorganization of Vazouan is complicated, and the two sides need to form a delegation, and the leaders of Zaun and Piltover will take turns to negotiate!"

The conference room was quiet again. Faced with Ino's statement, everyone present fell silent again.

Yes, if you have any questions, you can go to Lux to communicate directly.

But the key is... everyone here has had a one-on-one talk with Lux.

And almost everyone who has had a one-on-one talk with Lux has been persuaded.

Kalya's small class: Lux convinces people with reason:

Although she has an amazing reputation in Zaun and can use magic to reason, Lux often uses reason to convince people - especially when it comes to policy lines, she has always been very keen on open discussions.

However, in most cases, the result of open discussions is that others are persuaded by Lux.
