LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 121 Hextech Suspension Train, get moving!

A very special passage is being built from above the Peart River to the Valoran Mountains on the continent of Valoran. It passes through the middle of the mountains and heads straight west.

And today it is another sunny day in the Valzhu Mountains.

The sun was blazing high in the sky and the weather was scorching hot. Sino and a group of Demacians stood together. They took advantage of their break time to avoid the heat and ran out of the cave to cool off under the trees.

Normally, the temperature inside the cave should be lower than that outside, but due to the operation of various Hextech devices, the temperature cannot be dissipated at all. The temperature inside the cave is higher than that outside, just like a sauna room. Even the Demacians with strong spirits find it difficult to work in it for a long time.

At this moment, Xino looked up at the big sun above his head. Because he had been to Shurima for a period of time, Xino, who should have been a white person, actually had yellow and black skin. But to Xino, even the bad weather in Shurima was not as uncomfortable as this ghost place!

Although the weather in Shurima is very extreme, it is very cold when it is cold and very hot when it is hot, but the time of weather changes in Shurima is fixed.

The hot time is only from noon to dusk, but Sino in Shurima will not choose to go out at noon, but will hide in the house to cool off. The unique craftsmanship of Shurima makes the local houses extremely effective in keeping out the heat.

It can be said that all Shurimans will not choose to go out to work in hot weather, because it is easy to end up losing more than the gain. This will cause heatstroke due to the high temperature and require a lot of water resources. Therefore, unless it is necessary to travel, Shurimans will rest at home.

But what now that we have arrived in Shuangcheng?
Sino thought he was arranged here to enjoy his life, but he never expected...
Life now is even harder than when we were in Shurima!

Xino's skin was painful from the sun, which made him point at the sky and say loudly, "Why is it sunny again? It has been sunny for more than ten days in a row. Can't this place have one rainy day?"

"In fact, it will be even hotter after rainy weather. I heard from a scientist in Piltover that the place we are in now is called the tropical zone. He said that the temperature will rise after rainy days. Compared with dry heat, humid heat will make people feel more uncomfortable. Therefore, they are recently researching something called a cooler and plan to bring it to the mine for use. I heard that it will be super cool after using it."

"Cooler? What is that? Is it another magic or heretical item?" Xino looked at his deputy and said with some confusion.

The deputy was stunned, then looked at Xino confidently and said, "You ask me? How should I know? I just heard their conversation. How can I know what those things are?"

After listening to this, Xino sighed, then he looked at his deputy, hesitated for a moment and said, "By the way, if I ask Covey for fans and coolers now, will they let us use them?"

"Oh, are you sure? You said it yourself that Demacians would not use magic items. If you ask for it now, as Lord Rowan said, what you have is nothing more than a boomerang, Xino. This is very embarrassing." The deputy said seriously.

"Then what else should we do? We just endure it? But how many days do we have to endure it? It's still a long way from penetrating the mountains!"

After Sino finished speaking, he and his deputy looked at the mountain tunnel they had dug during this period. Originally, the two cities planned to build a railway to Demacia directly on the mountain. However, building a railway on the mountain has uneven terrain, with some mountains high and some low. It would be more troublesome to deal with. Therefore, the accompanying Piltover engineers made a new decision, which was to open up the Valoran Mountains and go out from the middle to the plains of the Valoran continent!
This project was huge. Even the powerful and brave Demacians did not have the confidence that they could quickly open up the mountain range and stabilize the nearly 10,000-meter-long cave passage. However, the people of Piltover dared to do it. Not only did they dare to do it, but the speed with which they did it also surprised Sino and his Demacians.

First, there was the explosives, which shattered the rocks with a loud bang. Then, there was the huge gloves, which could make ordinary people have the strength comparable to that of Demacia's elite, such as Sino. They could easily carry the rubble, and what was even more amazing was that the gloves also had a defensive function, which could sense the heavy objects coming and activate the defensive function in an emergency, a very powerful protective shield.

Originally, the people of Shuangcheng had prepared these miners' gloves for Xino and his friends, but Xino and his friends didn't dare to accept them.

This... looks like a magic prop no matter how you look at it!

As a Demacian, how is it possible for me to use magic items?
Of course, Demacians won't touch anything tainted with magic!

But now, Xino really boomeranged.

It’s hot, it’s really too hot!
If this continues, the people under him might rebel against him, because while they were huddled in their tents, unable to sleep at all due to the heat in the middle of the night, the engineers from Piltover were resting in comfortable and cool tents. Their tents were equipped with fans and refrigerants, so they could drink delicious cold drinks and feel the cool breeze.

So it’s not that the Demacians are not strong enough, but when compared like this, the gap is just too big, okay? !
Are we here to help with the work? Aren’t we here to be slaves?!

Therefore, Xino decided to make a decision to betray his ancestors!
Under the watchful eyes of his adjutant, Sino walked resolutely towards the Piltover engineer's tent.

--------

And a day later, the news of this matter also reached Luo Wen.

Looking at the message on the Hex Transmitter with a smile on his face, Rowan looked at Lux, thought for a moment and said, "Lux, we should be able to return to Demacia soon."

"But we've only been out for a year." Lux was eating ice cream next to Rowan. The Twin Cities were of course very hot in the summer, which was completely incomparable to Demacia. After all, Demacia was close to Freljord, and the coldness of the North Pole would pass through the mountains and then reach Demacia. Therefore, the summer in Demacia would be particularly comfortable.

But fortunately, there is air conditioning in the Wanshishi House at this moment. Yes, the Hexcooler is actually an air conditioner, but its function is better than that of an air conditioner and it is more convenient to use.

A piece of Hextech Gem can be used for about half a month, and when it is used up, you can just replace it with a new one.

And Hexgems are not particularly precious things in Piltover today. In essence, Hexgems are made of Shurima ore combined with several other ore powders and then outlined with special patterns. It is not as mysterious and precious as imagined. Victor had already told Rowan this a long time ago.

As for the fact that Hextech crystals are made from the corpses of scorpion compatriots and the souls of shell people. Well, Rowan investigated it and found that there is no such thing at all!

I can only say that Riot has failed again?
Anyway, Rowan looked at Lux and said with a smile, "Weren't you the one who cried and was reluctant to leave when we came out before? Now that we can go back soon, why are you the one who is unhappy too?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Lux's eyes. She didn't go out today, so she wore cool clothes, a small shirt on the upper body and shorts on the lower body, and she tied her hair into a large golden bun.

The large buns with abundant hair would bounce as Lux moved. On the girl's snow-white neck, her pretty face was pink, which made her look very cute. Her plump and crystal-clear toes kicked lightly in her sandals, and then her white long legs were crossed. Lux sat cross-legged on the sofa and whispered:
"I didn't say I didn't want to go back. It's just that, didn't you say before that it would take a few years to go back?"

"In the beginning, it was estimated that it would take several years to go back, but now it seems that everyone's acceptance is far beyond my imagination. Xino's soldiers have already begun to use Hextech devices secretly. In the male capital, the nobles also have a Hextech player in hand." Rowan said proudly to Lux.

After hearing what Rowan said, Lux blinked her beautiful eyes, and hummed while holding an ice cream in her mouth, "I understand."

It’s nothing more than that the people of Xiongdu enjoy a more convenient and comfortable lifestyle, and it would be difficult to change it later.

It’s the truth that it’s difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
When everyone gets used to the convenience of life brought by Hextech magic props, when the ban on magic is mentioned again, these people will immediately rebel and decisively become helpers in abolishing the ban on magic, because the current Hextech technology has also brought huge benefits to the nobles in the capital.

Expand territory, increase agricultural output, improve craft quality, and more.
Hextech not only changed the Twin Cities, but also Demacia.

Seeing Lux's expression of "I understand, you don't need to say more", Rowan looked down and looked at Lux's calf. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at the Hextech transmitter in his hand. Rowan was ready to send a message to His Majesty Jarvan III.

Well, Lux's legs are really white. And because she has received knight training before, she is not a delicate and weak woman. Her figure has a very healthy beauty, with full and round thighs, smooth and slender calves, and perfect proportions that make countless women envy her.

Lux is not as tall as Kaisa, but if their legs are longer, then Lux should not lose.

Paired with nails that are not painted but still reveal a pink color, this is really a perfect food!
hungry!

"So have we decided on the time to go back?" Lux asked suddenly.

"The day the train can run again will be the day we return to Xiongdu." Luo Wen said without looking up.

Lux nodded, rested her head on the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling.

To be honest, when Lux knew that she was not abandoned by her family, she was not so eager to go back. After all, the world outside was more interesting. This world was really bigger than Lux imagined. Including the time in Shurima, it has been almost two years since Lux came out, but the places she has been to are still very few. However, she has seen so many interesting things!
Adventuring is fun, and life in Piltover is fun!

Return to Xiongdu?

Forget it, if Luo Wen is here, it shouldn’t be boring when I go back, right?

Thinking of this, Lux quickly finished the ice cream in her hand, then sat up straight, stepped on the slippers on the floor, and ran upstairs.

A moment later, a Hex Transmitter appeared in her hand, and then she sat down next to Rowan. Rowan glanced at her, and Lux ​​smiled at him, "I'll write something to my brother and tell him I'll be back soon."

Rowan didn't say anything, he just reached out and flicked Lux's big meatball.

At the front desk, Kassa yawned and rolled her eyes.

"Ah"

During this period of time, if the Sanxiao had to say who had changed the most obviously, it would naturally be Kassadin. In fact, Kassadin was not a cold person by nature. She had been away from the crowd for too long before, which made her unable to adapt to getting along with humans. In addition, she also thought that she no longer belonged to the human race, so she gradually used indifference to protect herself.

But now that she has lived in Piltover for so long, Kaisa has naturally become more human.

There are many people in Zaun who are less human than her, but aren't they still alive and well?

Therefore, Kassadin now has a more living aura.

Seeing the little interaction between Rowan and Lux, Kaisa wanted to complain while eating potato wedges, but she didn't know where to start.

As for what Rowan said about returning to Demacia, that sentence we...
What Luo Wen said should include me, right?
Well, there must be!
Kasa thought to herself while chewing potato wedges.

------

Time passed quickly in the Twin Cities. In a blink of an eye, several months had passed, the hot summer was gone, and autumn and winter came.

Although Zaun still failed to achieve independent autonomy during this period, it officially started cooperation with Piltover because of the Resurrection Plan.

Both sides stood on the same platform. It was no longer Piltover giving alms to Zaun, but the two sister cities finally had conversations and cooperation on an equal footing for the first time in more than three hundred years.

Because Ekko's invention was recognized by Victor, many places in Zaun have installed air filters. The several-meter-tall fans are placed on the iron and glass houses. When turned on, they can blow away the gray haze that blocks the eyes and filter out the poisonous fog.

These devices now allow Zaun to have good air half of the time. Although it is not possible to have good air all day long and the wastewater from the source of the toxic fog has not been treated, it is at least a good start.

And Janna, the central figure in the Resurrection Plan, has naturally undergone a lot of changes. The blue bird transformed by Janna has become more majestic, and she is no longer as cute as before.

The current image of the Janna Bluebird can be described as beautiful and majestic. It has grown a lot bigger in size. It seems that the advertising launched by the cooperation between the two cities to the people of the two cities is indeed very effective.

Similarly, Rowan, who lives in Piltover, has grown a lot taller during this period and is now over 1.8 meters tall, which makes Rowan very happy.

He almost thought that he would only be 1.7 meters tall in this life!

Apart from what was happening in the two cities, there were naturally a lot of things happening in the outside world.

There are always stories happening in Runeterra, and the biggest thing that has happened during this period, which can be called a major event in Runeterra, is naturally the end of the war between Ionia and Noxus.

According to reliable sources, a teenage girl from Ionia led the resistance against Noxus. She broke the backbone of the Noxian raiders in one battle and is now driving the remaining Noxians off the Ionian Islands.

However, the damage the war brought to the Ionians was irreversible, not only because of the deaths, but also because Ionia was different from other places. The natural spirits there had now entered a manic state, and many places that were once naturally harmonious had become forbidden areas.

But it is obvious that this matter is not Luo Wen's responsibility, and it is even less likely for Shuangcheng to take charge of it.

Even if there was no reliable news, Rowan knew that in 987, Swain would lose to Irelia in Ionia and then return to Noxus. Then, in the following period, it would be time for Swain to regain control of Noxus and change the empire in just a few months.

Right now, all the important city-states in Valoran have undergone changes. The changes in the two cities are enormous. Zaun and Piltover have not reconciled, but because of Janna and Jayce, the two cities can already have normal exchanges and communication, and Noxus is about to usher in its own new life.

But the biggest change, naturally, is in Demacia, in the far west.

The dormant lion has awakened. It shows its sharp claws and roars to the sky, deafeningly.

At exactly ten o'clock in the morning, the three little ones, accompanied by people from Zaun and Piltover, arrived above the Peart River.

Here, guarded by Piltover's law enforcement officers, there is a huge building that is very dazzling, covering an area of ​​about several thousand square meters. When you walk into the building, the first thing that catches your eye is the waiting hall. Walking in, you will enter a tunnel leading underground. After walking down, you will see a scene that Rowan is very familiar with.

It's a platform.
I saw two rows of huge rails underground, and on one of the rails, there was a huge car that was hundreds of meters long and streamlined from front to back. It was very eye-catching, and what was even more surprising was that it did not fall on the rails, but was suspended above the rails!
Luo Wen really never expected this.
He thought that the people of the two cities could at most build a train, but he didn't expect that they could actually build a maglev train!
No, this is too awesome, right?!

Is Hextech really omnipotent?

Maglev train!

According to the developers, after adopting the Hextech portal patent granted by Jayce, the train can reach a maximum speed of 700km/h!

And today, it’s time for this train to start!

In more than three months, the people of the two cities and Demacia have built their own railways. Although two-way traffic has not yet been achieved, the one-way traffic has been completely successful. Of course, it cannot go directly to the capital, but the terminal is also in the suburbs near the capital, and the transfer will stop at Nokmoch.

At this moment, Jayce, dressed in formal attire, appeared, followed by Fandel and Silko Viktor, as well as Bakash and Wei who came to watch the fun, as well as Heimerdinger and Ekko.

In Piltover, all the councillors had arrived. Mel looked at the train to Demacia with a complicated expression on his face, while Lady Giraman's face was flushed. The noble lady understood that from today on, Piltover was officially bound to Demacia.

When Jace appeared, he said something, and then a group of staff wearing hats got on the train.

Rowan, Lux, and Kaisa also got on the train.

So, at the call of the staff at the station: "Start"

Then, the sound of sirens followed.

Thus, another major event in Runeterra was born.

A major event that does not exist in the background story of the Alliance has occurred, which was initiated and coordinated by Rowan and is enough to change the way people all over the world travel and the distance between people all over the world.

On the train, Rowan looked excited, and next to him were equally excited Kaisa and Lux.

because
Hextech Hover Train,
It’s really moving!

Demacia Calendar: On May 987, 5, at 4: am, the Hextech Train jointly developed by Piltover, Zaun and Demacia officially started its journey from the Twin Cities Station above the Piltover River, heading for Demacia.

You definitely didn't think of this direction.
This chapter is nearly 6000 words. I’m going to bed and will come back tomorrow.
