Chapter 112 Build a railway from the Twin Cities to Demacia!
"Thank you all for taking the time to witness the birth of the new councillor. I also congratulate Mr. Talis on becoming the eighth councillor of Piltover. I wish you continued progress."
Mel went on stage to deliver the final speech, and Victor and Jayce left. Before leaving, Jayce spotted Rowan in the crowd, then he immediately waved to Rowan and invited him to attend the party together.
Of course Rowan did not refuse. He took Lux and Kaisa to the dinner party.
It was not yet evening, but the banquet had already begun. There were plates of exquisite snacks, a variety of wines and drinks, and the aroma of the food being prepared in the kitchen could be smelled even at the banquet. There were many people at the banquet, from all walks of life, high and low, but there were no people from Zuan.
Because even if Jayce agreed to let the Zaun people come, Viktor would immediately dissuade him, and the friends Jayce made in Zaun had no intention of coming. Viktor knew very well that even if Jayce now had a good impression of Zaun and became a member of Piltover's parliament, it was still too radical to let the Zaun people attend Piltover's dinner.
Now, Zaun people can come to Piltover legally by submitting their identities, which is a very good thing. At least Victor thinks it is very good. He feels that the relationship between the two cities is slowly changing.
Victor didn't know whether the wall separating the two cities would be eliminated, but as long as Zaun was no longer oppressed by the people of Piltover and Zaun's voice was no longer ignored by the people of Piltover, then this would be progress.
And now, they were sitting in the backstage. Viktor, Jayce, Rowan, Lux, and Kaisa who was eating with a plate in her hand were talking about something.
"What Zaun and Demacia need to do now is to open a passage and build a road from Laobamen to Zaun. This will facilitate transportation and trade between the two places." Rowan said seriously.
He received the letter from King Jarvan III, which expressed his importance to Zaun. However, the two cities are too far apart, so Jarvan III is more worried about the thoughts of the people of Zaun, and narrowing the distance between them is the best way. Demacia will also contribute to this matter and will find a place outside the capital to build facilities and pave roads.
What Zaun needs to do is to build another facility and send people to build a railway to Nokmokhi. Demacia will be responsible for half of the railway.
The reason why the railway was not built in the sparsely populated mountains but on the plains was because the upper and lower mountains outside Demacia were very dangerous.
Although Demacia won the war with Noxus, the Noxians also settled in many places outside Demacia to farm and settle down. The first is Triwell outside the Gate of Sorrow. That place is adjacent to Demacia, but it is indeed an agricultural town in Noxus. Duojie, who had met Rowan once, told Rowan that the place where she had done the mission was near Triwell.
And above them, there is a group of barbaric Freljord people. They are few in number, but each one is a powerful magic warrior. It is even more impossible to build a railway in that place, not to mention that if Zaun wants to build a railway upwards, there are too many Noxian cities to pass through.
Therefore, the final choice is to build a railway from the middle position. Although there will be obstruction from the Noxians, Demacia will send troops to garrison. In addition, the Noxians are now busy fighting with Ionia, so they will most likely ignore the actions of the Demacians.
Because even if Noxus saw it, it didn't dare to take any action. If it didn't dare to take any action, it might as well just pretend to be blind and pretend it didn't see it.
"This is going to be a huge project," Victor said, stroking his chin.
Trains are not a magical and rare thing in Piltover and Zaun, because someone proposed the concept of this means of transportation very early on. However, due to the small geographical area of the two cities and the fact that they only have business dealings with the outside world, people in the two cities rarely go out, and ships are the most convenient tool in this backward world. Therefore, only a prototype of that concept was made and it was not put into practical use in the two cities.
But what will it look like now when combined with the Hixtech train?
"We have to do it, no matter how big it is. This is the intention of the King of Demacia. Besides, laying railways is not as difficult as we thought, right?" Rowan looked at Victor.
"Laying railways is not difficult, as we have all the materials in Zaun. But the problem is that it requires too much manpower. Zaun cannot find so many people in a short period of time, and the people of Piltover will not do this kind of work. No matter how much money they are paid, they are not willing to do hard labor." Victor thought for a while and said.
It's not that he wants to reject Rowan. Of course he wants to help Rowan, but right now, Zaun is also using Hextech technology to change the city, and the air in the alleys has been purified. Although Vander has expressed that he will not fight or compete, his status has risen again, because the older generation of Zaun people basically believe in Vander. He was once the king of Zaun and the spiritual leader of all Zaun people.
And now, he has led his team to create a tool that can purify Zaun's poisonous fog. Coupled with the changes in the relationship between the two cities, it is inevitable that Vandel will gain popularity among the people.
Although the person who actually did these things was a thin and small man with a blind eye.
But who made Van der Leyen famous? All the credit went to Van der Leyen, and Hilco said nothing about it.
He was not doing this for himself from the beginning, he was doing it for this city. Therefore, he was willing to accept the current situation. After all, Zaun was indeed getting better.
Jayce ate the cake and said with a smile: "Victor is right. People in Piltover will not be willing to work for Zaun."
"how about you?"
"My situation is different. Didn't I have no other options back then? But after seeing the real Zaun, I have to say that those guys were wrong. Zaun is indeed chaotic and crude."
Viktor looked at Jayce, trying to get the most pertinent evaluation from this Piltover man who originally hated Zaun the most.
Jayce said, "But the Zaun people are not incommunicable. They also possess very strong technology, especially in alchemy. Even if you catch all the professors at Piltover University, I don't think they are as good as the Zaun pharmacists. In my opinion, Zaun is still backward and crude, but it has great potential in the future."
Victor smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, Zaun is still lagging behind now, but it won't be in the future."
Jayce's evaluation is very pertinent. Zaun still has more bad parts than good parts, but as the haze disappears and public security improves, everything will improve. No one is unwilling to live in peace and happiness, unless he is a madman. Most of the gangsters in Zaun are forced to do so, because violence and crime are the lowest-cost jobs. As long as you dare to sell your life and morals, you can get something in return. Therefore, most of the people in Zaun are forced to take this path.
They can't survive, so they can only fight and kill each other, but if they can have a good life, the people of Zaun are willing to lay down their weapons and live a good life.
What is the reason for fighting? What is the reason for joining the gang? Isn't it just for a better life?
But not anymore.
"So if we want to build the city railway, we need a lot of manpower." Jayce and Viktor said together.
Rowan was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the Demacians?"
"Of course, Demacians are strong and there are so many things we can ask them to do!" Jayce said excitedly.
Lux blinked and looked at Rowan: "Rowan, aren't we still fugitives now? Can we really let the Demacians come over?"
"Just write a letter and ask His Majesty to send an army over secretly. I think fifty people should be enough." Luo Wen said casually.
Victor asked, "Let them go directly to Zaun?"
"Yes, take a boat to Zaun's port and treat them as ordinary tourists." Luo Wen said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, this matter can't just involve Zaun and Demacia, Piltover has to get involved too." Jayce said somewhat dissatisfiedly from the side.
His opinion of Zaun has indeed changed, but no matter what, Jayce is a Piltover native, so naturally, he will also support the interests of Piltover. Right now, Rowan and Viktor are in cahoots and are excluding Piltover, which is something Jayce does not want to see.
He said, "If we want to build a railway, Zaun alone is not enough. I will invite a few councillors to join us in the construction."
"If you can invite him, I certainly have no objection," said Luo Wen.
Victor also smiled and said, "I won't object, but will the councillors be willing to work with the Zaun people?"
"Who can resist money?" Jace rolled his eyes and continued, "On the first day I was elected as a senator, a senator came to me and wanted to join Zaun's Hextech research. He sponsored it and then took part of the profits. I asked him why he did this. Victor, guess what he said?"
Victor looked at Jace and nodded, indicating that Jace should continue.
"He said there are bad people in this world, but there is absolutely no bad money. I am a member of parliament, but before I was a member of parliament, I was more of a businessman. So as long as there is profit, then whoever I work for is not a job."
After hearing this, everyone present looked thoughtful.
Yes, there are disgusting people in this world, but is there disgusting money?
"He will definitely be willing to join, and then I will go ask Ms. Gilaman and Professor Heimerdinger." Jace said.
"Then I will write a letter to His Majesty and ask Him to send someone over."
After the agreement was reached, the three people, representing three different city-states, were about to build the first railway in Runeterra.
Luo Wen was somewhat excited about this.
When the train really reaches Xiongdu, what kind of impact will it bring to the people of Xiongdu?
Rowan is unimaginable!
After the dinner, the three little ones returned to the Yorozuya. After Rowan returned to the room, he took out a strange panel. Then, he loaded a Hextech crystal with the corresponding number on it. It read Demacia, No. 1.
This device was developed by a Piltover scientist and is called the Hextech Transmitter. The scientist used Jayce's Hextech patent to create this device, which facilitates the transmission of information among people and is also very easy to use.
As long as the Hextech transmitter that Rowan is holding is loaded with a Hextech crystal with a designated number, he can then use the sensor pen to write on the panel. After writing, click send and the Hextech transmitter will send the message to the owner of the corresponding number.
A bit like an online communication tool?
Well, in short, the brains of the people in the two cities are unquestionable, they are all absolute geniuses.
Anyway, if you ask Luo Wen to do it, he will definitely not be able to do it, even though he is a time traveler and a magician.
So, early in the morning of the next day, Rowan received a reply from King Jarvan III.
Your Majesty, I agree.
——————Five days later, at the port of Zaun.
A group of strong men wearing short linen clothes got off a merchant ship and appeared at the port of Zaun.
There was already a group of people here to greet them. The leader looked left and right first, and then he saw two familiar faces in the crowd.
Then, he excitedly trotted in front of the two men, saluted like a knight, and said loudly: "Soldier Sino, greetings to the captain."
The Zaun people around looked at Rowan at the same time, and Rowan also showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect that among the people sent by Jarvan III, there would be someone he knew?
"Xino? Why are you here? Where is the Glorious Merchant Group? Is it no longer operating?"
"The Glowing Merchants Group is still in operation and is now in charge of Miss Sivir and Vice Captain Carl. Captain, the Glowing Merchants Group has become the third largest merchant group in Shurima this year. Your Majesty has sent many people to the Glowing Merchants Group."
Xino looked at Luo Wen excitedly and said, "I really thought you were a traitor."
"Shh, keep your voice down." Rowan said to Xino.
"Has His Majesty told you everything?"
"I told you that we have followed your instructions on this trip. You and Miss Mianwei are not committing treason, but are doing something for His Majesty." Xino said seriously.
As he said this, he also saluted Lux beside him.
Lux was very happy to see a Demacia soldier saluting her.
She really wasn't abandoned by Demacia.
Not abandoned by the Mianwei family.
So, Lux sniffed.
"Go ahead, this is not the place to talk." Luo Wen patted Xino's shoulder, also somewhat happy.
A moment later, everyone arrived at Fandel's tavern.
Vandel looked at the tavern that Rowan had booked, where all the Demacians were sitting and drinking, and he showed an expression that was both helpless and funny.
"If I didn't know, I would have thought you sent these people here to grab territory." Vander whispered to Rowan who was sitting at the bar.
Rowan glanced at Fandel, then at Sino, and said, "If they want to rob it, it will only take one day. They only need one day to attack Zaun."
Fandel sneered and said, "I know that the Demacians are very strong, but are you underestimating Zaun a little?"
"Xino!"
"Yes! Captain!" Xino, who was drinking next to Luo Wen, stood up immediately.
"Fight with him, he is very strong, you have to use all your strength, do you understand?" Rowan pointed at Vander and said.
Vandel was ready to go and became interested. He was also interested in the strongest Demacian soldier in Valoran!
So, Vandel took off his boxing gloves hanging on the wall, put them on, and looked at Xino, "Come on, let's have a fight. Rowan said you can easily conquer Zaun, I don't believe it, I want to try."
So, Fandel and Sino left the tavern.
A group of soldiers also ran outside to watch the excitement, while Luo Wen sat in front of the bar and looked at Baobao who was sitting at the bar.
"Baobao, aren't you going to go out and worry about Fandel?"
“No one can beat Vander,” Boom said. She added confidently, “Vander is the most powerful man in Zaun.”
"Then you will be disappointed, Bakugo, because the Demacia people are the most powerful." Rowan said seriously.
"I do not believe."
"You'll believe it soon."
Lux was drinking juice nearby and rolled her eyes at this meaningless conversation.
How come this is like a child?
Five minutes later, Xino and Vander came back, both of them with bruised faces and noses. Xino was even more unconvinced: "What a pity, there are some tricks I can't use on you, otherwise I would definitely be able to beat you."
Vander rubbed his chin in silence and said nothing.
Because he knew that what Sino said was true, the other party was a soldier, not a gangster or a fighter, and Vander knew what the moves Sino described would be like without even having to think about them.
They must be some murderous tricks.
After all, during the sparring, Sino attacked Vander's throat several times. With the opponent's strength and speed, it was difficult for Vander to resist. If he was really hit in the throat, it might be broken immediately.
Therefore, these Demacians.
Too strong?!
Vandel returned to the bar, and Explosive looked at Rowan proudly, snorted and said, "See, Vandel won."
"Xino, what's going on?"
"Captain, you are talking about sparring. There are some moves that I can't use easily." Xino said to Luo Wen quickly.
"Why are you talking so much? If you lose, you lose. Xino, let me fight. I will definitely win!"
"Haha, but he's pretty powerful. This is the first time I've seen someone who can fight with us Demacians in hand-to-hand combat."
"Xino, don't make excuses if you lose."
The surrounding Demacia soldiers started to make a noise.
When Vander heard this, his face changed drastically.
They can tease Sino, so what does that mean?
This means that each of them thinks they are no worse than Xino.
"I, do it again, Vander! I will prove the strength of the Demacians!" Sino quickly looked at Vander and said.
Vandel shook his head, looked at Rowan and said, "I believe you. If they put on their armor and weapons, they can capture Zaun in one day."
"Right? We Demacians are super strong." Rowan drank the beer, showing his white teeth and said with a happy smile.
"So, what do you want them to do?"
"Build a railway, build a railway from the Twin Cities to Demacia." Rowan said to Vander.
"Jace and Victor have agreed?" Vandel raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, we are the best partners," said Luo Wen.
Vander narrowed his eyes on his swollen face and looked at Rowan in a daze.
Viktor of Zaun, Jayce of Piltover, and Rowan of Demacia
Fandel suddenly felt like laughing.
Yeah, Hilco.
This era no longer belongs to us.
Look at these young people in front of you.
The future belongs to them.
This chapter is five thousand words.
I went to bed quickly!
Then tomorrow's update time will be adjusted to noon to afternoon, with one chapter in the evening.
Regarding the content of Two Cities, I know that some book lovers think it is watery. They think that the protagonist is so powerful, but he has to play in this place. It feels like an adult going to kindergarten, and they don't like reading it.
So I speed up. The content of the Twin Cities is very important because science will connect the whole world. It will not only help the Demacians adapt to magic and lift the ban on magic, but it will also play a vital role in the future battle against the Void.
So, I'm not really in the water.
