Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 968: Nicole and the Goddess

Since the 'Parliament of Piltover' was transformed into the 'Council of the Twin Cities', with the release of new or revised regulations, the people of Zaun have received the same treatment as the people of Piltover in terms of rules.

As for the so-called concept of upper city masters and lower city workers, although no one dares to mention it in public nowadays, there are still many stubborn people who retain this concept in private.

In particular, some "workshop owners" who used to only have to pay Zaun people one-tenth of their salary or even less were gnashing their teeth about this, but they had to pay the full amount of wages as required, otherwise the staff from the parliament's tax department would "enthusiastically" invite them for tea.

Of course, these are just minor episodes.

The hottest topic in the two cities now is the redevelopment of Zaun.

Although Hefeng Industries has not disclosed the latest technology to the public, it has been assessed by the parliament to be safe. It has purified more than 90 percent of the contaminated land in Zaun. The pollution of the remaining most serious land has also been controlled and the purification is proceeding steadily.

Although the price of this new and harmless land is not cheap, compared to Piltover, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, these lands have become a hot spot for many entrepreneurs.

Specially organized by the land planning department of the 'Twin Cities Council', land use rights were auctioned off piece by piece, and the proceeds were used to plan Zaun's infrastructure, build schools, reimburse medical care and other measures to improve the living standards of Zaun residents.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the wind of change from Zaun had already swept across the Twin Cities and even affected most of the shipping conditions in the entire Runeterra.

All businessmen who dream of becoming bigger and stronger will participate in this change and work hard to take over a piece of Zaun's land.

Therefore, Piltover is still prosperous, but Zaun is even more bustling.

...

"Wow~!"

The sea was surging, and ships, some loaded with cargo and some carrying passengers, were sailing into the port.

"Wow! What a big door!"

"Haha~! Nicole, this is the 'Gate of the Sun', which makes the Twin Cities the largest shipping transit point in the world."

"'Sun Gate' is so powerful~!"

Nicole's bright eyes looked far away at the 'Gate of the Sun' in the distance. Looking at her appearance, Li En immediately guessed that Nicole probably did not understand the meaning of 'shipping transit station', but simply thought that this door was extremely huge.

"Li En, Li En, there are so many 'Shoma' over there, more than what I saw in Harel Port!"

"Of course, this is the port of the Twin Cities."

Li En rubbed Neeko's little head, then turned to look beside him, only to see Nidalee standing quietly beside him with a slightly frown on her face.

"What's wrong Nidalee?"

"I'm fine, Li En, it's just... it's a bit too noisy here..."

Accustomed to the quiet and deep jungle most of the time, Nidalee, the quiet big cat, was somewhat uncomfortable suddenly arriving at the busiest port in the world.

"Om~!"

"So, is it better?"

"Yeah, much better. Thank you, Li En."

“Haha~! You’re welcome. Besides, the barrier I set on you can last forever, so you don’t have to worry about being discovered by others.

If you want to remove the mask, just follow your feeling and close it, and the same goes for opening it again."

"Yeah, okay Li En, Nicole, remember this!"

"oh, I understand now."

"Huh~~!!"

Nidalee nodded slightly, and a particularly fresh and gentle breeze blew towards her.

The next moment, the two Vastayas with extraordinary spiritual perception instinctively turned their eyes to Li En's chest.

At that moment, their intuition told them that something seemed to be approaching, but there was nothing in their sight.

Especially for Nicole, who is a member of the Mist Tail Clan, this feeling is even stronger.

So she couldn't help but be curious and tried to reach out to Li En.

“Wow! Something…something is grabbing me!!”

"Niko!"

Nidalee looked at the panicked Neeko and instinctively stepped forward to pull her away.

"Okay dear, stop teasing Neeko."

"Hehe~! Sorry little guy, you look so cute, I couldn't help but play a little joke on you."

A gentle voice with a hint of playfulness sounded, and a sky-blue figure gradually emerged from Li En's arms.

That flawless, jade-like palm was now gently releasing Nicole's curiously extended right hand.

"Wow~! Such a beautiful..."

Before Nicole could finish her words, Li En covered her eyes with his hands.

"What are you doing, Li En? This is the first time I've seen..."

"Okay Neeko, just look at the surface. Don't try to see into Janna's inner self, or you will get hurt."

"How is that possible? Seeing Shuoma is a natural gift of our Mist Tail tribe. I have never been hurt by seeing someone else's Shuoma."

"Haha~! Little guy, what Li En said is indeed right."

Janna gently moved Li En's hand away, and this time, Nicole could only see a clear sky blue color, and could no longer go deeper into it.

"As you can see, my name is Janna, the goddess of the gentle wind."

"The... goddess of the wind!?"

"Yes, that's right. I am not a human being, but a god because of my faith."

"..."

Faced with Janna's gentle smile, the two Vastaya were stunned for a moment.

Whether it's Neeko, who grew up with her tribe members, or Nidalee, who only awakened the heritage, the inherited knowledge they have been exposed to has roughly told them what "God" is.

However, without any preparation, the two suddenly encountered this kind of existence.

"Alright, Neeko, Nidalee, don't be in a daze. Although Janna is a god, she is also a very gentle god."

"Neeko, Nidalee, hello, nice to meet you."

Leaning in Li En's arms, Janna smiled and waved to the two of them.

"Hello...Hello!"

"Hello... God!"

"Hey, don't be so formal. You are Li En's friends, so just call me Janna like him."

"Ah this..."

After hearing what Janna said, Nidalee and the other two hesitated.

"Um...can we call you Ms. Janna?"

"Of course."

"Um...Ms. Janna, your Shoma is the most beautiful one Neeko has ever seen. Only, um...only Li En's Shoma can surpass yours!"
