-343- Like a caring mother

May 11th, as time passed, with the premiere of the TV broadcast and the confirmation of the opening ceremony time for the sports event, Twin Cities has become increasingly lively recently.

Now, merchants from all over the world are constantly arriving in Piltover by boat or overland.

Piltover has also relaxed its policies, allowing anyone from outside to enter.

The purpose of these merchants is actually easy to guess—they simply want to understand the principles of television and try to buy a screen from Twin Cities.

However, at this stage, Twin Cities itself cannot meet demand, as it is still in the development stage. So how could they possibly sell it?

As for selling it and then making money for research and development, has Twin Cities ever been short of money?

The economy of the two city-states tops a continent, which is not an exaggeration at all.

And Link Liwisk, probably one of the few among these merchants, who has realized this.

"If the Liwisk family want to become a great family like the Medarda family, then it must forge a new path. It seems that the warlord path of Noxus is no longer applicable."

Link remembered his grandfather's words in his mind, which were wisdom unique to the elderly.

"It's evident that Twin Cities is doing all this to bring peace to the world, to prevent the flames of war from spreading across the Valoran continent. But peace is not easy to achieve. However, Link, we can take a gamble. A gamble on boarding Twin Cities' ship, to see if it can break through the waves. If it fails, Link, don't worry too much, money will only decrease if we held on to it for too long."

"Investing, trying to become a sponsor?"

With unease, Link approached the Enforcers guarding the center building of Piltover.

The Liwisk family is going to sponsor the football match, providing an additional generous reward for the winner of the football match. In return, the only thing asked for is a line of prompt—like, the bonus is provided by the Liwisk family as a sponsor?

Honestly, this is certainly a loss-making deal, but it has to be said that this is a good way to get on board the Twin Cities ship.

With this in mind, after being questioned by the Enforcers, Link boldly approached the front desk, ready to use the phone to talk to the members of Piltover's parliament.

——————

On May 14th, the people of Twin Cities entered a bustling stage. The Zaunites on the floating island stopped working, and now every day they rushed to Piltover to help build venues and construct the route for the opening ceremony.

"Linwin, why don't we hold the opening ceremony in Zaun?"

In the meeting room, Councilor Kiramman was the first to speak.

After speaking, she looked at Silco and Vander, hoping to hear approval from the two city lords of Zaun.

"On the floating island?" Linwin stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't think it's feasible. If held on the floating island, once it's broadcast on television, it will certainly shock people around the world."

Kiramman nodded, that's what she meant.

The primary purpose of hosting the sports event is to find and gather major and minor countries from all over the world, and then strive to tell them about the existence of the Void in the gentlest but most powerful way, sign treaties, and prioritize fighting against the Void.

Secondly, it's the internal thoughts of the councilors and senior officials—showing off muscles.

The Twin Cities is well-known, but how strong is the Twin Cities?

This question is quite ambiguous.

Because many remote areas cannot imagine it now, tribes and countries that have contacted Twin Cities through Hextech phones know how powerful Twin Cities is, but what about those who haven't?

With blocked transportation and information, they are just like the Avarosa and the Winter's Claw at the beginning, they may not even know what the sister cities represent on the Valoran continent—

People in those places only know Noxus, only Demacia.

Twin Cities? Don't know, or if they do, the recognition is—very wealthy but a super small place.

The feeling of being weak but wealthy?

"But if we do that, it'll be inconvenient. The facilities on the island are not perfect yet, such as drainage, electricity, and accommodation issues. If athletes, merchants, and spectators have to run between the floating island and Piltover, it will be too troublesome, both for them and for us." Linwin spoke up.

The only place that can board the floating island is the port of Zaun, and only by passing that bridge can one board Twin Cities.

So if the sports event is really held on the floating island of Zaun, Linwin can already imagine the scene of the Zaun Bridge packed with people.

"That's true." Kiramman sighed.

"But can we make an appearance on the floating island?" Linwin saw the disappointment of the old cupcake and quickly added.

The person who worked hardest for this sports event was firstly the scientists of Twin Cities, and secondly, councilors like Kiramman and Mel.

Especially Councilor Kiramman, this project of the sports event can be said to have been built bit by bit by her, so she naturally attaches great importance to it.

"We can set off fireworks on the floating island during the day."

An island suspended in the air, fireworks filling the sky, such a scene is not only new to outsiders, but even Twin Cities people themselves have never seen it before.

"Then we need to prepare immediately." Kiramman said immediately.

"Well, what about the Goddess Janna?" Jayce asked.

"Is she still asleep?" Jayce asked cautiously.

Linwin let his thoughts drift, bowed his head, and sensed for a while.

The situation between Linwin and Janna is special. He can sense Janna's current state, just as Janna can sense where Linwin is and what he is doing.

"."

What Linwin saw was a green disc forming a large circle, but unlike what Linwin originally thought, it wasn't a chubby green bird, but an extremely majestic green bird.

It looks like this time it's going to be completely digested?

And why does it feel like Janna's momentum is getting stronger?

Should it be said that as a pure god of belief, the more believers and the more devout, the stronger the power?

With the current momentum, Linwin really feels that Janna is even more powerful than Nagakabouros he saw in Bilgewater.

"Janna? She's still asleep, but it's the kind of drowsy sleep. I'll call out to her when the time comes, don't worry." Linwin pledged.

Linwin also understood the intentions of the councilors.

The gods of Twin Cities are definitely a presence that can shake people's hearts. On such days, it is necessary for Janna to come out for a walk.

Maybe she'll even receive believers on television then?

It's worth noting that Janna's former followers were spread throughout the coastal areas, not just Zaun and Piltover.

"Then please."

Jayce spoke up.

Silco and Vander were somewhat speechless.

Linwin and Powder are probably the only two who dare to talk to the goddess Janna casually.

Yes, Powder's way of speaking to Janna is also very casual, she doesn't have any thoughts of respecting the god.

It's like. having a conversation with a caring elder? However, interestingly, Powder's way of speaking is exactly what Janna wants.

Between Janna and her believers, it's not a relationship between god and servant.

She was created by humans, and her mission is to protect those who believe in her.

She's a true god who loves humanity.

Compared to what believers give to Janna, Janna gives even more to her believers.

It's like. an caring mother?

"Well then, let's adjourn for today!"
