[0273] Who is a friend
With the leakage of underground poison gas, the final struggle of the Zuan people finally failed. Although they accidentally regained their past faith, the blue bird talisman and the wind of change appeared again on this scarred land, the canal that has consumed a generation of hard work is now...
Piltwolf Canal.
That's right, the Picheng people, who were under the banner of "humanitarian rescue", finally gained actual control of the canal. Using this important channel to communicate the sea of watch and the sea of conquest, Piltwolf became completely rich!
Although the Picheng people "professionally" paid the "reward for digging the canal subject" - the payment target for this part of the remuneration was not the person who really worked like Yugong moving mountains, but the nominal leader of Zuan and the Alchemy Baron.
After that, Picheng quickly built a series of supporting dams, embankments and waterways dedicated to the canal. These buildings have the characteristics of magnificent and complex Picheng, so that the ships passing through the canal quickly accepted the name of the canal.
When it comes to stealing the fruits of labor, Picheng people are quite professional.
But what about Zuan?
Of course it's over.
Before the Alchemy Baron monopoly, the last point of the freelance workshop owners and designers exhausted their efforts on this canal. They devoted everything, but in the end they had nothing, and could only let go of them in the following years.
What, you said you were going to find the Alchemy Baron to get back at least the part of his reward?
Don't joke, even if you want it, you have to pay the fine for "running excavation activities in the city without authorization", so I lose.
In this way, the Zuan people tried their best to try to break the current situation with a non-violent and extremely creative means, but the result was ironically distorted.
After that, terrible faults occurred in Zuan's culture and civilization. Without the experienced craftsmen and technicians, the vibrant and creative city has finally become a city of crime.
Losing the passage of ascending and without a visible future, Zuan finally became the current Zuan, the Zuan needed by Picheng and the alchemy baron.
But... it is not the Zuan that the Zuan people need.
From a personal perspective, Yasuo, who knows the situation of Zuan, actually has no good impression of the city of Piltwolf. The Picheng people, who are engulfed by capital and interests, are immersed in their own self-deprecating "freedom" and cannot extricate themselves. They do not know that everything they have, except the legacy from the Dahex trend, is nothing but a scraping bone and sucking marrow obtained from Zuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared to the notorious Bilgewater, Piltwof is more like a robber city - we can count the specialties of Piltwof.
The original Hex crystal comes from the Shell Clan. Each original Hex crystal is the life and wisdom of a wise man in the Shell Clan.
The modern Hex crystal is made by Zuan, Picheng got the crystal, the alchemist Baron got the golden Hex, and Zuan got the haze.
The inspiration for energy applications in Hex Technology was inspired by archaeological discoveries, and the archaeological targets were generally Shurima’s tombs and ruins.
After stripping away those progressive and free decorative parts, Piltwolf is more like a profiteer with red fruits, greedily seizing everything he has the ability to obtain, and only when facing a real fist can he be honest and reasoned.
(For example, when dealing with war stonemasons, Picheng didn't even dare to imprison him, for fear of giving Noxus a little excuse.)
In order to maintain its own progress, Piltwolf unscrupulously took advantage of this others - fortunately it was just a small city-state.
However, from Ionia's perspective, Piltwof is a very useful ally - it is a distributor of Ionia products. The limited war potential night makes it difficult to pose a threat to Ionia. Most importantly, many of the principles and means of Hex Technology can be applied in another form in Ionia.
It was precisely because of his coveting the knowledge accumulated by Piltwolf's industry that Yasuo agreed to Camille to attend this Evolutionary Day Hex Expo.
Unfortunately, Yasuo knew Zuan and Picheng quite well, but Camil still had unchanged expectations for Ionia - although the trap-filled proposal mentioned earlier was just a temptation, Picheng had already shown his attitude from this temptation.
They are trying to fool Yasuo and let Aionia, a new major power that has joined the international game of Runeland, make up for the most vulnerable link.
If Ionia is really willing to form an alliance with Pi City, it will mean that Piltwof has made up for the shortcomings of insufficient combat effectiveness. Piltwof, who has no worries, may really have unscrupulous ambitions and may even have Shurima’s idea!
………………………………………
So, what will Yasuo do in this process?
As early as when he agreed to the invitation, Yasuo had actually made up his mind and made up his mind.
Although his level of political skills and creativity is limited, Yasuo, who has the advantage of information, not only obtained a lot of information from Picheng and Zuan through the intelligence network of the Noxus War stonemason, but more importantly, he also knew something that would happen in the "future".
For example... the Emperor of Shurima will come back.
You know, in the current rune land, Shurima, the country... that is a mud-footed giant.
It seems that Shurima is the largest country in the entire Runeland, but in fact, this former empire has long since collapsed, and all the glory of the past has been hidden under the yellow sand!
But Yasuo knew very well that the Ascenator's legion was not dead yet, and a dog-headed man wandering in the desert was still keeping the knowledge of the Shurima Empire. The emperor's blood in the underground tomb was waiting for the descendants to activate. When the sun disk rose again, those who were planning Shurima would be in trouble.
What Yasuo can do is to stay out of the matter and add fuel to the fire. In all diplomatic activities, Yasuo will do his best to focus everyone on Shurima. If possible, he hopes that everyone will fight Shurima and be enemies with Shurima.
At that time, with Shurima, Ionia will have huge room for action, whether it is developing or getting along with everything.
Based on this consideration, Yasuo happily agreed and came to Piltwolf. Next, what he had to do was to identify the traps of Picheng people, get the technical authorization of Picheng people as much as possible, and at the same time eliminate their worries about developing Shurima.
That would be a win-win situation.
