Don't mess with the yordle

Chapter 266 Heimerdinger's Wish

The purpose of Reed going to Shurima this time is to let Ryze complete the "Ascension Ceremony", which was the advice he gave Ryze before.

Ryze accepted, hoping to help Reed.

Ryze has always been committed to protecting "Runeterra" in order to prevent the tragedy from thousands of years ago from happening again.

But this time, facing the threat of the void, he naturally hoped that he could also contribute, rather than letting Reed fight alone. He also saw Reed's urgency.

In the past, Reed would never have treated the "World Rune" so carelessly. Reed needed strength too much now.

As a human being, Ryze has known Reed for thousands of years, so it can be said that Ryze knows Reed relatively well.

The better I get to know Reed, the more I can feel his urgency. You must know that Reed has always been too lazy to care about the "material plane" in the past. He only occasionally went out for a stroll, leaving some footprints and legendary stories. story.

No way, when the age of a creature starts to be measured in "ten thousand", there is really no way to make him pay attention to the social changes of human beings who live at most a hundred years old.

But now, Reed has begun to call on the scattered humans to start looking for forces that can be useful in resisting the void.

"Master Reed, are you taking these Zaunites to Shurima? Is there something wrong?"

Ryze rubbed his bald head and felt that it was a bit inappropriate to do so. The alliance of Piltover, Zaun, and Noxus was currently at war with the Shurima Empire.

"In this alliance of yours, you can get rid of Zaun first. It is not worthy and can only be regarded as a subsidiary at most. No one in the Shurima Empire will have any objections."

Reed complained that he didn't think there was anything wrong. In the Shurima Empire, he was still a bit thin-faced. He dug Azir out of the ground.

Moreover, Azir is still begging him, hoping that he can help the Shurima Empire, let the yellow sand all over the continent fade away, and restore the prosperity of the Shurima Empire.

"Well, maybe you're right."

Ryze shook his head helplessly. He had never succeeded in convincing Reed once. In Ryze's eyes, this tens of thousands-year-old yordle also had the stubborn character expected at his age.

"Fander, let me take care of your people!"

Reed roared angrily. They were currently in the trench area of ​​Zaun. The number of people summoned by Fandel didn't sound like many, there were only more than 4000 people, but this was actually a terrifying number.

According to official records, in the "big incident" that year, only tens of thousands of people fell in Zaun.

Even now, with the advancement of technology, the total population of Zaun and Piltover together will not exceed one hundred thousand. This is already overestimated by Reed as much as possible. The population is the largest of this small city-state. limitations.

This city-state that pursues a system similar to the "Venetian Commercial Republic", if there is no further breakthrough in science and technology, its ultimate fate will be to integrate into other major countries. It relies on "Pi City Guards", "Family Agents", and "Mercenaries" to There is no way to fight a "war to protect the country."

"Okay, Master Reed."

Fandel, Benso, and some of his "Black Alley" brothers are maintaining order. Not all the people from the "Black Alley" organization followed Fandel here, but Hilko did not come and followed him. The ideals didn’t come either.

"Master Reed, we made such a big move down here, didn't the people in Piltover react at all?" Looking at the Zaun people carrying large and small bags and dragging their families with them as if they were fleeing, so did Ryze. He was quite emotional. After walking in "Rune Land" for thousands of years, he had seen this kind of thing frequently. These people were lucky enough to meet Master Reed. Most of them were ordinary people who died silently in the war.

"Mrs. Piltover can't even solve the immediate trouble. How dare they come to provoke us again?"

Reed sneered. He had already warned Camille that as long as those business oligarchs still had some brains, they would not dare to cause trouble. Is provoking the Yodles at this time because they dislike the Shurima Empire and it is too easy to deal with?

"Reed, these people also include some students from our college. They should be able to help when they arrive in the new place.

When the time comes, we can build a new branch there to make it easier for young people from Shurima to study abroad. "

Heimerdinger, who came here to see off students, said from the side that among the more than 4000 people, there were also some students from the college.

Although the college will provide protection for students and parents, some people still choose to flee here.

They believe that perhaps leaving this hopeless place and starting over is the best way out for the Zaun people.

And they will use the knowledge they learned from the academy to build a new Zaun, a Zaun that belongs to the Zaun people.

“Don’t worry, in the new place, all talented people will have something to do, because it’s truly starting from scratch.

As for the academy branches, they can also start construction at the same time, and then they can absorb the outstanding talents of Shurima. "

Reed agreed to Heimerdinger's suggestion. Shurima really needed some scientific power. The feudal superstition in that place was too serious and they needed to educate them.

As for the resistance from official forces, this is not a problem in Reed's opinion. Now Azir is also seeking progress.

Well, at least slavery, which was originally intended to be abolished, was abolished, and he also intended to establish a "Royal Academy of Sciences."

The technological creations of Piltover and the Yodles still made Azir see the potential. Although Shurima has magic, why give it up when there is power that can be used?And this kind of power is relatively safe.

Azir decided to grasp it with both hands and use both hands hard. It was too late for him to be happy about the arrival of Bandel Academy of Science and Progress.

"That would be great and I look forward to that day coming soon."

Heimerdinger was very pleased. He was a little tired of the atmosphere in Piltover. It was indeed a place full of technology and innovation, but it was too utilitarian.

Everything in this commercial city-state is for profit, and there is no way to compare with the technological atmosphere of Bandle City.

In Bandle City, that is where a hundred flowers bloom. Some people spend hundreds or thousands of years studying a useless technology, but the final results can still make everyone marvel and cheer.

Therefore, Heimerdinger looks forward to the birth of a new "utopia", a scientific holy land that is truly in the "material world".

However, this is a bit difficult for Reed, because lifespan and material foundation are the fundamental reasons for the formation of Bandle City's atmosphere. Humans, short-lived species, will not be like yordles, at least with the current material foundation. meeting.
