172 -169- Changes

"So why are you telling me about this now? It's been almost half a month since it happened, right?" 

Holding a stack of documents, Linwin sat in the specially crafted Hextech wheelchair made by Jayce, frowning.

"I actually wanted to tell you earlier, but someone didn't let me," Jayce shrugged, wearing a meaningful expression.

Jayce reported to Linwin in front of her.

This made the girl standing behind Linwin immediately shift her gaze, slowly moving towards the window.

Being here, she could pretend she didn't hear anything. If Linwin tried to lecture her, she could simply escape on the Hextech hoverboard.

Hearing the conversation, Linwin looked up at Jayce's eyes, and Jayce, still shrugging, looked at Linwin with an indifferent expression, but raised an eyebrow when Powder didn't pay attention.

Nudging towards the back of Linwin.

Linwin immediately shook his head helplessly.

"Powder~"

Stretching the tone, Linwin moved the wheelchair, turning to face the girl behind him.

Linwin's body had mostly recovered, but the issue persisted – having strength but being unable to use it.

Using physical enlightenment involved the appropriation of the power of the Ascended, and the first time someone bore that power, it either made them stronger or severely injured them.

Nasus almost died when subjected to the Ascended power, while Linwin, after using it, only experienced physical weakness. This already proved the abnormal strength of Linwin's body.

At the same time, it indirectly demonstrated that Linwin's physical strength far surpassed that of Nasus at that time.

But wasn't Nasus some kind of bureaucrat in the Shurima Dynasty back then?

Well, anyway, Linwin was still not mobile and relied on the wheelchair.

"I just didn't want you to be so tired. You should rest well. Otherwise, what's the point of everyone helping you with your work?"

Linwin called out her name, and the girl immediately shifted her gaze away from the window, walking towards Linwin, chuckling, then pretending to be wronged, "I meant, so uh... you can't scold me."

Looking at Powder with a hint of helplessness, Linwin spoke, "Scold you? Powder, when did I ever scold you?"

Powder was first stunned, then immediately nodded with a smiling face, "Right, you never scolded me."

That's true!

Linwin only scolded Vi, calling her a fool, idiot, airhead.

But for himself, Linwin always praised her.

Of course, this also had to do with Vi's rebellious nature causing trouble everywhere in their childhood.

Wasn't Powder quite obedient back then?

Thinking about this, Powder immediately felt relieved, striding towards Linwin.

"But this time, Powder, you were wrong. This is a big deal. Don't do this next time," Linwin added.

"Okay, sorry," Explosive nodded with her small head, "I won't do it next time."

Linwin turned again, looking at Jayce with a smiling face.

Probably, in Jayce's eyes, the daily life of this "brother and sister" pair was indeed interesting.

Them, an unexpected thing happened that made Jayce chuckled.

After Linwin turned his head, behind him, the girl with tied-up blue hair and a high ponytail showed a beautiful set of white teeth, shaking her little fists, glaring at Jayce fiercely.

Her appearance resembled an angry little wild beast.

Was this her way of expressing dissatisfaction?

Jayce had a good impression of Powder. She was energetic and lively. Among the cunning people in Zaun, she seemed like a happy nut.

In that group of people in Zaun, besides Viktor and Linwin, who he recognized as brothers, Jayce was only interested in Vander and Powder.

The former was broad-minded and extremely trustworthy.

The latter was lively, like a little devil.

Not to mention Powder's relationship with Linwin.

Jayce and Linwin were true buddies, and the sister of a buddy, wasn't that like his own sister?

Therefore, faced with Powder's threats and funny faces, Jayce could only shake his head with a smile.

He doesn't care.

"Our people received this information on the night of the 1st, and now it's already the 10th. It's almost half a month, just as you said. Time has passed."

Linwin nodded, looking at the information on the paper. He shook his head with some helplessness and said softly, "Jayce, Noxus is about to be in chaos again."

Jayce, however, didn't seem concerned. The bodies of Noxian people on the Piltovan Mountains had already been buried, and a rain had washed away the smell of blood on the Piltovan Mountains.

However, Piltover had established a outpost there.

The greatness of the Hextech communication system lies in this.

Tens or hundreds of miles away, and you only need a phone call, information from the front outpost can be transmitted to the rear within seconds.

Not to mention, the Noxians now regard Linwin as something akin to a deity.

How did the Noxian Imperial Army address Linwin?

—The Guardian of Zaun.

"Why? Are they still daring to cause trouble for us now?"

"Of course not. They are already in a situation where they can't even protect themselves. Their campaign on Freljord hasn't been able to make any progress for a long time. The Ionian War ended in failure, and the war with Demacia is going back and forth without a decisive outcome. In such a situation, they dare not provoke trouble with Zaun anymore." Linwin said as he looked at the paper.

"I misspoke. It's not about them causing trouble for us, but the continent is about to be in chaos again."

"Valoran is about to change."

Valoran has only two of the most powerful nations, Noxus and Demacia.

There were many small countries in the past, but in recent years, Noxus had almost defeated them all.

Therefore, when Valoran is about to change, it means that the Noxians are about to change. As for why it's not Demacia, looking at the current situation of Demacia, it's doing well. How could it suddenly change?

Powder peeked her small head out, hands on Linwin's shoulders, looking down at Linwin's hand, "Is Noxus going to fall?"

"Almost."

Linwin lifted his head and reached out to scratch Powder's little nose, but this affectionate gesture immediately provoked her dissatisfaction.

He still treats me like a child!

But before Powder could protest, Jayce spoke up.

"Well, this is a good thing." Jayce crossed his arms and continued, "Eighty percent of the wars in the world are started by Noxians. If Noxus really falls, it's a good thing for all the countries in the world."

Hearing Jayce's words, Linwin shook his head.

This is the advantage of knowing the background story and the future direction.

Linwin knew that Piltover and Zaun were enemies with Noxus, but they were also people living in this world.

But beyond this planet, there are higher beings, not to mention the terrifying enemy, the Void.

Under the earth of Freljord and Shurima, the Void has already begun to stir.

In a short while, the underground of Shurima will be completely invaded by Void monsters.

Now, Jax, the millennia-old warrior, is traveling everywhere, seeking like-minded warriors, preparing to resist the Void together.

And the king in the material realm is going to reappear with his mace.

At that time, the first ones to fight with that guy will be the Noxians.

If Mordekaiser really comes out, the first one will have to go look for LeBlanc.

LeBlanc has been preparing for resistance against Mordekaiser for hundreds of years, and in recent years, she has become impatient, manipulating Darkwill.

Isn't that a sign that Mordekaiser is about to come out? If that happens, she will have to be ready.

The same goes for other events in the League. Almost all significant events in the League occurred around the year 990, and now, it's 985... 985?! 

985 is when Irelia cut off Swain's hand?

Linwin's hand was raised heavily against his forehead, and then he helplessly said to Jayce, "Anyway, Jayce, these things are a bit complicated, but I'll tell you later."

Seeing Linwin speak seriously, Jayce also put away his playful expression and became serious.

He nodded, saying in a deep voice, "I understand."

Has his existence not only affected Piltover and Zaun, but now also Ionia, far to the east?

985, This doesn't match the time point in the story!

"Alright, Linwin, continue reading. I need to go deal with some matters now. Lux and Fiora are planning to return to Demacia, and I need to prepare enough Hextech gemstones in advance."

Linwin nodded, "Don't deceive them too much."

Jayce raised his hand, smiling, "I know, we're allies with Demacia, right?"
