LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 110 Demacia and Hextech
Time flies, and now it is the year 986 in the Noxian calendar. The arrival of the new year has brought Demacia into a brief period of excitement, but after this short period of excitement, more arduous things will follow.

Because the war between Ionia and Noxus has entered a white-hot stage. The Noxians have completely razed the Eastern Isles and even killed their way to Navoli, the largest island in Ionia. There are signs that Presidium, the central capital of Ionia, is about to be breached. After receiving the news, Jarvan III felt helpless.

No, what is going on in Ionia?
If this place is really conquered, then after Noxus swallows Ionia, wouldn't it be possible for it to rest for a while and then attack Demacia?

Jarvan III found it outrageous. It was such a big island with countless residents. In terms of population, Ionia's population was even larger than Demacia's. But now they were being driven around like pigs by the Noxians. Could you Ionians give some help?

Is it really like there is no resistance?

Externally, Noxus has been like crazy in the past two years, fighting all kinds of wars, and internally, the treason of Lux of the Crownguard and the treason of Rowan, the rising star known as the Black Lion of Demacia, have also caused Demacia to suffer more or less.

Fortunately, this year's New Year activities were very lively. The happiness and the people's limited channels for obtaining outside news made the people of Demacia gradually begin to forget about this matter. Of course, Jarvan III was also involved in this. He used his influence to invisibly influence the thoughts of countless Demacians.

Sitting in that position, every move of Jarvan III can represent the country of Demacia.

Today, Jarvan III was in the study, with a curious Xin Zhao and Mette wearing special glasses beside him.

"Your Majesty, is that little guy Rowan still living in Piltover? It has been a year. Does he plan to stay in Piltover forever?"

"Well, it can be seen that he really likes that city-state." Jarvan III sat at the desk with some strange artifacts on it, and he also opened a letter.

[Your Majesty, this time I have brought you some good things. I have mailed you some of my favorite discs. Also, please do not underestimate that small marble-like thing. We have used the latest magic technology to store human voices in marbles, so you only need to put the marbles with the corresponding numbers into the Hex player, click the button, and then you can hear the music of the marbles.

In the future, we will develop a more convenient player, even one that can retain the screen, but it is not possible at the moment. In the field of music, we have not yet involved much. Now we are researching most about transportation and weapons. I think it will not be long before Lux and I can take the Hexspeed airship to Demacia.

By the way, Your Majesty, the Hextech player is still in the experimental stage, so the magic power is limited. If there is no sound later, it means that the magic power of the Hextech crystal inside has been consumed. When the time comes, please write a letter and I will mail you a new Hextech player. 】

Jarvan III lowered his head and looked at a small square box filled with marbles. He opened the box, took one out and played with it for a while. Then, Jarvan III put the marble into a blue square box on the side with great interest.

The square box was not big, only the size of an adult male's fist, but there were various delicate small buttons on it, two direction keys, a round key, and a red key. Jarvan III opened the box, then put a finger-sized blue marble with the number 4 written on it into the box. Then, he closed the box and pressed the round key.

"!!!"

"Wow!"

On the side, Mette and Zhao Xin both widened their eyes.

The usually steady Mr. Butler could no longer remain calm. He leaned in front of Jarvan III and looked at the small box on the table seriously.

After King Jarvan III pressed the play button, a moving and beautiful voice came out of the square box. It was like a musical. The beautiful voice and the unnamed instrument caught the ears of Xin Zhao and Mette immediately.

How could they have seen such a thing?
Mette has lived for fifty or sixty years, and has never seen a square box that can play music!
"Your Majesty, what this kid sent this time is more useful." Mette said excitedly.

Jarvan III was playing with the square box in a funny way. The two direction keys corresponded to the volume of the sound played by the box, and the red key was for turning off the music.

"I roughly understand what Rowan means. Give some of the things Rowan brought to the nobles." Jarvan III looked at the box under the table, which was full of strange things shipped from Piltover.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mette said beside him, and then he said, "Well, Your Majesty, I want one too."

"If you want it, just take it yourself. You don't need to ask me about this. Am I a stingy person?" Jarvan III said to Mette.

Mette coughed, then pointed to the square box on the table and said sheepishly, "Your Majesty is certainly not a stingy person, so Your Majesty, I want this."

Jarvan III glanced at Mette, then looked at the square box. Then, he raised his head and said casually, "Get lost."

"Yes." Mette bent down, grabbed the square box, and ran out of the study.

Jarvan III was left confused: "???"

"I told him to go away, but I didn't ask him to take my Hextech music player with him!" Jarvan III laughed angrily, stood up, put his hands on his hips and looked at Xin Zhao, and asked, "What about you, Xin Zhao, what do you want?"

"Actually, I wanted a player too, but Mette got it first. It's a pity. My family now only has a record player sent by Luo Wen, but that thing is too big. It doesn't look like a player that allows me to listen to music anytime and anywhere." Zhao Xin sighed.

When it comes to being thick-skinned, he is still not as good as old Mette, otherwise this square box would be his.

But can I write a letter and ask that kid Luo Wen to mail a few back to me?
Zhao Xin thought secretly.

After all, Luo Wen and I are the father and son as rumored.
Jarvan III looked at Zhao Xin's appearance, shook his head with a smile, and said:

"Rowen, on the surface, was sending me gifts to express his gratitude, but in fact, he was telling me that these things would be very helpful to Demacia's ban on magic. Demacians have always believed that magic is evil and dangerous. But now, someone has used magic to create something that can facilitate people's lives and make their lives more interesting.

You know, Zhao Xin, some time ago, Tiana asked me if I had any extra sausage grills. She said that the army really needed Hextech sausage grills, which could not only make sausages in the wild, but also barbecue. Every shield formation of the Fearless Vanguard wanted one, but that guy didn't bring me that many. "

"Barrett also found me, and wanted to ask for a record player for his daughter, but I refused. If he wanted it, he should come back to see me in person. Why did he write to me and ask for something? Does he just hate me?"

He went on to say, "When nobles and commoners alike enjoy the convenience brought by Hextech, and when Hextech is present in every aspect of our lives, at that time, I will spread rumors that Hextech is a magical creation. In fact, everyone uses magic. But Zhao Xin, do you think that people at that time will reject Hextech or accept it?"

"." Zhao Xin lowered his head in silence. After a while, he looked up and said seriously, "I accept it. I have been used to listening to music every day. The Hextech kettle you gave me is also very easy to use. I just need to put the tea leaves in, pour water, and press a button. It will heat itself and become hot tea. It is very convenient. Not to mention the Hextech heater. The soldiers stationed in Freljord need this very much. In the cold environment, a Hextech heater is very useful. Moreover, it is smokeless and dust-free, and will not threaten the lives of soldiers."

"Your Majesty, even I and my elite soldiers cannot resist the convenience that Hextech brings to our lives, let alone the people and nobles of Demacia?" Zhao Xin added. "Yes, that's what I mean." Jarvan III nodded with a smile.

"However, before that, we must establish a new contract with Zaun. Also, we must remove Piltover from Noxus' control. In the future, Piltover and Zaun will only be and must be allies of Demacia."

Jarvan III put away his smile and said calmly, "Hextech is very useful and convenient, but if Zaun and Piltover are not under the control of Demacia, then this convenience will become a limitation. So, I will write a letter later and you can ask the dragon bird troops to take it to that kid Rowan."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Xin leaned over and said.

"By the way, has the yield per mu of rice fields in the experiment increased?"

"After using Piltover's farm tools, the improvement is estimated to be more than doubled," Zhao Xin said excitedly.

Demacia is a country that has no shortage of food, but who would complain about having too much food in the granary? Therefore, using windmills, fertilizers, and Hextech crystals to improve farmland, the crops doubled, which would be good news to everyone in Demacia.

After hearing this, Jarvan III nodded with satisfaction, "I suddenly feel that throwing that kid out is not a bad thing."

Zhao Xin also smiled.

Yes, after Rowan went out, he never forgot that he was a Demacian, and he also brought different changes to the Demacians.

The current Xiongdu is the best proof.

But as to whether it is getting better or worse, in fact, you only need to look at the expressions on people's faces to know.

In the magnificent square of Demacia, under the operation of Jarvan III during this period, Demacia and Zaun have conducted many foreign trade exchanges. In the past, there were only merchant ships from Piltover in the Demacia port, so how could there be merchant ships from Zaun?
But in the past three months, many merchant ships from Zaun have come to Demacia. The Zaun people come to Demacia to sell some exquisite little things, not weapons, but it is these exquisite little things that have completely captured the hearts of the Demacians.

Demacia is wealthy and people don't have to worry about food at all, but at the same time, Demacia is also poor because the Demacians lack entertainment in life. They go out to work late, and there are occasional circus performances and musicals. These are all the entertainment forms available to the Demacians.

But during this time, the Demacians had more entertainment options.

First of all, there are many record players in the Grand Plaza, and many Demacians go there to listen to music every day. Secondly, a store called a game arcade has been opened in the Grand Plaza, and no one knows who the owner of this store is, but the store can be opened in the Grand Plaza, and there are elite soldiers guarding it every day, so it is not difficult to guess that the owner behind this store is either a big family in Xiongdu, or it is opened by someone from the royal family.

And the fact is just as people thought. This store was opened by Jarvan III, and all the game consoles in it were shipped from Zaun. The purpose was to provide Demacians with more entertainment in life.

In the Bouvier family's estate, Madame Lestara propped up her chin and looked at Sona, who was playing the piano in front of a strange device in the garden, with an expression of admiration.

This thing was sent back by Rowan. It can record sounds, and after Sona got it, she became a lot more cheerful.

A year later, Sona became more beautiful, and she had an indescribable temperament. It was not the grace of aristocrats, and it was different from the temperament of Demacians. It was an elegant and cold temperament.

Sitting there and playing the guqin, the moment it makes a sound, Sona will look like a character walking out of a painting.

But after the piano music ended, Sona opened her eyes and heard the voice of Lady Lestara.

"Sona, you play really well!"

Sona looked at Lestara, she gave a faint smile, and stretched out her hand to sign: Mother, I really like this phonograph that Rowan gave me.

"I like it too, but I wonder if it can be like a record player, recording the sound of your playing so you can listen to it anytime."

Sona paused: "It should be possible, right?" Luo Wen wrote that there will be such technology in the future.

Lestara paused, then smiled wickedly: "Write a letter? He wrote to you specifically? Oh, why didn't he write to me?"

"What did you talk about? Don't look at me like that, Sona. I'm just a little curious. Don't I even have the right to be curious? I'm your mother."

"I wonder what's wrong with you?"

Lestara said excitedly.

"."

Sona showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, lowered her head slightly, put her hands on her thighs, and looked at Lestara helplessly.

Ever since Rowan and Lux ​​left Demacia, the mother would always talk to Sona about Rowan, and her words always implied that Sona should have left with Rowan.

But what excuse could she use to leave Demacia with Rowan?
Sona sighed, looking at her mother who was still teasing her, and her thoughts suddenly drifted away.

She didn't know what was wrong with her.

This chapter says.

　Everyone, I've been writing 8 words a day for 7000 days, and I'm so exhausted from the reversal of day and night. Yesterday I only wrote 4000 words, and today's chapter is words. I will try to write one more chapter later, and then I'll probably go to sleep.

　　I have to adjust my daily routine. It's a mess now. I have very little rest time, I feel tired when I wake up during the day, and I sleep no more than 5 hours a day. If I continue like this, I feel like I'm going to die. So I probably won't be able to do it these two days, but I will continue to do it after a while!
