LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Chapter 426 Taliyah’s Work Diary (2-in-1)

November 30, Bergün.

It is known that the Shurima region can be roughly divided into three regions: the north coast plains, the central desert, and the southern semi-desert hills.

The different geographical characteristics of different regions have roughly created three different social forms: coastal commercial city-state civilization, oasis agricultural tribal civilization, and hilly nomadic tribe civilization.

In order to obtain a clear and comprehensive understanding of the different social backgrounds of Shurima's various regions, the investigation must not be limited to one time and one place.

Today, our group’s social investigation work on Bergün has been successfully completed.

According to the plan, our group will go south from Belgun, go deep into the desert via Keneser, investigate the desert city-states and tribes, and then go straight to the southern hilly areas, to the north of Icathia, all the way west, and then along the Targon Mountains. Turn back north and return to the north coast around the desert.

(A little selfish intention is that I can also take a trip back to my hometown in the south to look for my fellow tribesmen. It has been more than a year since I left the tribe. I hope they are all well)

This will be a long journey.

Shuriman wind leaders, including me, all hope that the spring breeze of the goddess Janna can penetrate this dead land as soon as possible.

But the organization did not respond positively to our expectations.

Before leaving, President Levi told me at the farewell meeting of the investigation team that the strength of the cadres of the Leader has reached its limit, and the conditions for Shurima's struggle are not yet mature. I hope we can be more careful and cautious in our work. Some, slow down a little and don't let the enthusiasm for change overwhelm reason.

I understand President Levi’s concerns.

But on the plantation of Bergün, I saw with my own eyes the astonishing suffering of my compatriots who had been enslaved.

I watched a father stare in dismay at his five-year-old daughter's severed hands and feet, a "little punishment" for not meeting the rubber quota set by his slave master.

The rubber produced here was eventually exported to Zaun, which had the greatest demand for rubber, via the ships of the Noxian colonists.

Every tire produced by Zaun's burgeoning automotive industry has the blood of Shurima slaves in it.

No wonder President Levi said in the article that the current so-called New Zaun is actually just an improved version of Piltover.

So, how can I stay in Zuan with peace of mind?

How could I sit on that blood-stained wheel, blowing the comfortable warm air of the car's air conditioner, and forget about Shurima's terrifying sandstorm?

I... really don't want to bear it for a second.

I really want to cause an earthquake right now and shatter everything in this old world.

I will hang those hateful slave owners and colonists now so that my compatriots can break the shackles, break free of the shackles, and stand up straight like human beings.

Does thinking like this count as what President Levi called “the enthusiasm for change”?

Am I... wrong? !

(heavy pause)

The organizational discipline of the leader prevents me from doing more.

I only hope that the social survey I conducted this time can change the Supreme Council's attitude towards Shurima as soon as possible.

.....................

December 1, Bergün.

I don't want to leave Bergün. I will never forget those numb and desperate eyes, and the suffering I saw here.

But I had to leave as soon as possible.

I want to complete the social survey of Shurima as soon as possible. I hope that after seeing the report I sent back to Zaun, the organization can change its attitude towards the Shurima region.

So, we packed our bags today and prepared to go south and deep into the desert as planned tomorrow.

Miss Sivir and her mercenary group can finally come in handy now.

In the stable situation in Bergün, their "protection" was completely unnecessary.

To be honest, I shouldn't have hired the mercenary group so early, and they were still charged on a daily basis.

I did not consider saving organizational funds, which was my dereliction of duty as the leader of the investigation team.

Fortunately, although Miss Sivir appears to be philistine and cruel, there are even bad rumors of stabbing her employer in the back to seize the unearthed treasure - it is said that this is where her weapon Charikar, the "big wheel" came from.

But after getting along with her these days, I found that she is actually a good person with a sense of justice at heart.

Leaders do not make pure moral criticisms of anyone. It doesn't make much sense.

We value class and gender more than humanity.

Just like you can't accuse a starving person of stealing bread. Different classes have different philosophies.

So, I can understand Miss Sivir.

Her philistineness and ruthlessness may just be the survival rules she had to learn in this cruel environment.

It was Shurima who shaped Sivir, the "goddess of war", not who she was born to be.

As long as the ideal light is used to illuminate the darkness in front of her and give her a new direction and environment, maybe she will show the brilliance of humanity and even the brilliance of faith.

Such people have the potential to become leaders.

Next, I will focus on developing Miss Sivir and guide her to the right path.

Hope she can become our comrade.

(This can also save a commission and save organizational funds by the way)

.....................

December 2, Bergün.

We were planning to leave today, but something unexpected happened.

We were approached by a group of Noxian soldiers who discovered the identity of our leader.

I was a little surprised.

We were also careful enough when conducting social investigations that our identity should not be discovered.

But those Noxians pointed to the few Piltover comrades in the investigation team and told me that there are no such white tribesmen in Shurima.

Even if there were, most of them were wealthy people who came to Shurima for tourism and adventure, and they would not be so condescending as to go to the fields and chat with the slaves in the plantation area.

This is indeed an oversight on our part.

Those Picheng comrades later reviewed my situation privately. They grew up in Piltover and are used to wearing sunscreen as a skin care product.

This is not a good practice in Shurima. Because the alchemical sunscreen produced in Zuan is more expensive than gold here.

No one rubs "gold" in their face.

So later, these Picheng comrades gave up wearing sunscreen.

Within a few days, Shurima's scorching sun and yellow sand made them "black out" with the masses.

.............................

December 3, Bergün.

The accident that happened yesterday greatly disrupted our regiment's investigation plan.

We originally thought we would be facing a fierce battle with the Noxian colonial army, but unexpectedly we were greeted by a wave of uprising and surrender.

What these Shurima slaves saw as demons appeared to us like a bunch of victims.

What makes people feel more complicated is that, to some extent. They are really victims.

Because the Shurima Colony is the front line in the Noxus Empire's four directions, east, west, north, and south, with the least strategic pressure, the lowest offensive requirements, and the least need to maintain strong combat power.

Therefore, unlike other Noxian battle groups, which are mainly composed of professional soldiers, this colonial garrison is almost full of strong men who were forcibly recruited by the Noxian authorities.

They didn't come here willingly.

And after the news came out that the Wind Leader defeated the Empire in Ionia and recruited the general Duke Cao to surrender, the governors of the colonies on the north coast of Shurima abandoned them without hesitation, leaving only these people with no background. The cannon fodder of the middle and lower classes guard their territory here.

Therefore, these Noxian soldiers have long wanted to surrender.

When they learned that we were the leaders, their attitude was actually: "You are here now. If you don't come, we all want to tie up the officers ourselves and take a boat to Zaun to surrender."

This is the attitude of all Noxians.

Those Bergun compradors and slave owners who were attached to them were even more frightened by the title of Leader.

They either run away in panic, or they actively come to the door and express their willingness to accept reform.

The power of Bergün fell completely into our hands in just two days.

We...unexpectedly liberated Bergune.

It was a mistake for me, but also a surprise, an opportunity.

The organization does not support our premature intervention in the Shurima situation, but now... everything is an accident.

To be honest, I and other Shuriman comrades have always had some objections to the organization. Why is Bilgewater and Ionia the first step in Zaun's export struggle, rather than Shurima, which is just around the corner?

Do the people of Shurima deserve to suffer a year or two more than the people of the Twin Cities, the Ports, and the Ionians?

(Looking back and reading it, it seems that there is a suspicion of falling into a narrow nationalism. I will review it.)

In short, I accepted this accident with mixed emotions.

I decided to leave some members of the investigation team to take over Bergune.

At the same time, I will stay here for a few more days to "pack up."

ok I admit it. I want to temporarily put aside the investigation work and handle the matter of Bergün.

I also promptly reported the situation here to Zuan using the "Blue Bird Radio", hoping that the organization would understand us.

.............................

December 4th, Bergün.

Damn, looks like I messed up.

Perhaps, I think of my compatriots too simply.

In my investigative report, they were weak, tortured and pitiful slaves, absolute weaklings.

Although this is indeed the case. But I forgot how terrifying the power that the bullet that was pressed to the limit would be when the restrictions were suddenly lifted.

What's more, most of the slaves in the Bergune plantation were captives who were defeated and captured in tribal conflicts, and were trophies taken by desert bandits.

In other words, many of them were tribal people who survived in that cruel desert in the past.

And in the words of Miss Sivier:

Good people never grow in the desert of Shurima.

Their previous way of life was to engage in production, business, and plunder in a tribal manner. When producing, they were simple oasis farmers, when doing business, they were cunning businessmen, and when plundering, they were the most cruel desert bandits.

Each of their hands may have been stained with the blood of innocent people - maybe it was for the ownership of an oasis, or maybe just for a small silver coin, or even a bag of wheat, or a sip of water.

Just because these people were defeated in tribal conflicts and became slaves does not mean that they have lost the wild nature engraved in their bones.

Because this is how the Shurima desert tribesmen survive.

I can't blame them for that.

It was me who was wrong.

No wonder President Levi always emphasizes that the work experience of the pioneers in the Twin Cities must not be copied without thinking.

After all, according to the leader's previous experience, these half-people, half-bandits, and even desert tribesmen who are more robbers than laborers, can almost be classified as members of the "hooligans without shovels".

Janna on top!

I liberated tens of thousands of "rogues without shovels" in one fell swoop. But the manpower I brought was less than 20 people.

I hope the situation will be stable and no more trouble will occur.

.............................

December 5, Bergün.

In just two days, the situation completely got out of control.

Yesterday, a small number of restless plantation slaves, after being emancipated, began to spontaneously use extremely violent means to take revenge on the slave owners and their hawks and lackeys who oppressed them.

Today's situation is even more serious.

I don’t know who spread the rumor, or it is a misunderstanding made by these desert tribesmen based on their inherent knowledge.

In short, in their eyes, the image of the leader is like a traditional desert tribe alliance leader, who is here to save them - and then lead them to rob others.

I try hard to correct this misunderstanding.

But how could an investigation team of less than 20 people restrain 10,000 Shurima slaves who had gone through pain and suffering and wanted to vent their hatred like crazy?

They lack leadership and guidance. Because we simply don’t have the manpower to lead them and bring them organization and discipline.

Then, the situation got out of control.

Revenge against the slave owners soon evolved into disorderly riots, and even the indiscriminate looting of the entire city of Bergün.

The slaves, or thugs, who participated in the looting, would even spontaneously form groups and attack each other during the looting process.

We did not give them organization and order, and they formed violent groups on their own.

Just like the bandit tribes in the desert killing and plundering each other.

This is not what I want to see.

In the end, I had to use the "Blue Bird Radio" emergency call to request the Zaun Federation to send personnel across the sea for support.

I was also forced to take matters into my own hands, using deadly earth-shaking magic to overwhelm those I had freed.

I even had to take Miss Sivir's suggestion to rearm those Noxian soldiers who had laid down their weapons, and at the same time identify some of the old bureaucrats in the colonies to help us stabilize order.

Leader, use the old army of the empire's colonies to stop the rebellion caused by the slaves...

This is really a big joke.

And this joke was made by us.

.............................

December 6, Bergün.

Fortunately, Bergune is not far from Zaun.

After receiving the message for help, Zu'an's comrades immediately organized a support team composed of extraordinary people to cross the sea and parachute to Bergun that afternoon.

With the assistance of these Zaun cadres and the reactivation of the Noxian colonial army, we finally stabilized the situation in time before the violence completely engulfed the city-state.

In the future, Zaun will transfer more grassroots cadres to help Bergun complete the true liberation and transformation.

The story has a happy ending.

But the organization was harshly critical of our mistakes.

Only because this was indeed an accident caused by identity leakage, our superiors did not take further disciplinary measures against us based on criticism.

The affairs of Bergün will no longer be our responsibility from now on.

The task of conducting a comprehensive social survey of Shurima must continue.

It's just that Director Meyer, who was responsible for handling this emergency, gave us a stern warning on "Blue Bird Radio"——

In the future, you must be careful and cautious when doing work, and do not expose your identity easily, and do not try to change the local situation in Shurima without the permission of the organization.

The leader really can no longer mobilize more grassroots cadres to take over the next Bergune.

I am ashamed.

President Levi warned me about similar things before we set off, and now Director Meyer said it again.

I finally realized my mistake. And the price paid was the blood of innocent people.

Although President Levi said that struggle is not a dinner party, we should not hesitate or stop moving forward just because we are afraid of bloodshed.

But I know that this is not a reason I can excuse myself. President Levi’s words were addressed to those conservatives, but my question was addressed to radicals.

I used to think this was a good thing and the best proof that I was a determined leader. However, it turns out...

A firm leader may not necessarily be a good cadre.

I should be alert and spend the rest of my life atoning for this lesson.

.............................

December 7, Bergün.

We are finally leaving again.

The good news is that the situation in Bergün has been completely stabilized.

The bad news is that the repercussions of the events at Bergun could wreak havoc on the organization's strategic plans for the Shurima region.

Although the Windleader Association had no intention of intervening in Shurima, this all stemmed from our mistakes.

However, the news that the Wind Leader occupied Belgun and officially extended its power to the Shurima region quickly spread through the mouths of desert merchants.

It is conceivable that it won't be long before the entire north coast of Shurima, and even the many oasis city-states and desert tribes in the Shurima desert, will know about the Wind Leader's "invasion" of Shurima.

How will this impact the future of Shurima?

Will our group’s subsequent investigation trip to Shurima also suffer setbacks as a result?

Hard to say.

hope everything is fine.

Also, I just discovered today that Miss Sivir, who looks rough on the outside, actually has the elegant habit of writing a diary in private.

What a surprise.

For us leaders, diary is a tool that can help us record work gains and losses, summarize experiences and lessons, consolidate theoretical learning, and strengthen our faith and will.

I don’t know if it has such an effect on Miss Sivir.

Speaking of which, I had already given her the book "A Brief Account of Janna's Thoughts" for a week.

Over the past week, I have been extremely busy due to the series of events that occurred in Bergün, and I have also neglected to pay attention to Miss Sivier's ideological status and theoretical study progress.

I don’t know if she has read this book seriously in the past week.

If she keeps a diary carefully every day, she should have some learning experience by now, right?

If possible, I would really like to read her diary and see what she thinks of our leader's theory.

.....................

The following is an excerpt from "Sivir's Diary":

December 3, reading. Didn't understand.

December 4th, reading. Didn't understand. What the hell are you writing about?

December 5th, look...what the heck! Kill people!

This group of ungrateful slaves were ungrateful for being saved, and even came out to cause trouble to me by destroying, looting, and burning. This is no longer an ordinary slave, he must hit hard!

The leader's book is indeed unreliable.

When it comes to trusting the masses, do these guys look like they can be trusted?

There are bad people among the crowd!

How ridiculous. I actually sympathized with them before.

They are pitiful when they are weak, but they will kill you when they are strong. This is the desert people of Shurima. Haven't I suffered enough from such losses before?

The leader's book is simply a fairy tale. This is not reality.

They are just a bunch of naive lunatics. Well...powerful madman.

correct...

Suppressing riots does not seem to be included in the mercenary contract.

You need to tell Taliyah that this will cost more money.

December 6th.

The leader of Zaun is here.

Flying over from the sea.

Only now do I know that the leader can fly. Each of them is a mage of the wind element, but their spellcasting abilities are different.

It turns out that as long as you understand this booklet, the goddess Janna will give you the power of wind for free.

Think about it, if I could enchant the wind blade on Chalikar, then...

Gee, it seems I really need to take a serious look at this book.
