-227- Let Vi go

Silco and Vander also looked at each other, unsure of what Linwin was talking about.

Resurrection? Can people come back to life after death? And isn't Shurima a chaotic continent?

Warlords rule, each proclaiming themselves king, and there are far more kings on the continent of Shurima than on the continent of Valoran.

Looking at this group of bewildered people,

Linwin felt it necessary to educate them.

"Then let me start from three thousand years ago."

"Wait, three thousand years ago?" Jayce gasped.

"Yes, the last emperor of Shurima, Azir."

"A person who died three thousand years ago can come back to life? That's not possible! After three thousand years, shouldn't he be nothing but dust?" 

"The spiritual essence of a god-warrior surpasses the physical body," Linwin explained.

Silco sneered, thinking Linwin was talking nonsense. "A guy who doesn't even have a body can come back to life? I don't believe it."

Linwin: "?"

"Do you guys still want me to continue?" 

After spending quite some time, Linwin finally managed to explain to everyone who Azir was, why he could come back to life, and what trouble his resurrection would bring to twin city and the world.

"Now do you understand? Let's bring the people from Shurima back next year. That place won't be hospitable for long."

With the explanation concluded, Linwin once again brought up the topic seriously.

But this time, no one opposed.

Even though it's a bit hard to believe...

Zaun's history is less than a thousand years, and that emperor lived three thousand years ago.

Seeing everyone's unnatural expressions, Linwin smiled and said, "And there's one more thing: our reclamation project can officially begin. I'll have Zeri and Taliya prepare, aiming to complete it in the second half of the year."

"You can still smile?" Vander looked at Linwin, speechless.

The Emperor of the Sands—Azir.

A man who almost unified Valoran and Shurima, such a monster is coming back, and Linwin can still smile now?

Twin City, with its unique geographical position, has become the hub of world trade, but at the same time, it is the center of world turmoil. If that ancient emperor really unites Shurima after his resurrection, then if he wants to unite Valoran, twin city will be his necessary passage.

In such a situation, can this Linwin guy still smile?

"Relax, we can negotiate with him," Linwin said with a smile. "Moreover, we don't need to worry too much about this matter."

"Even if we don't reach an agreement, he doesn't have much time to deal with us. We have enough time to develop."

"And we still have Janna."

"Okay, let me talk about the next thing."

"How come there's more?" 

"Of course, if there's only one thing, I could handle it myself. Why would I bother bringing you guys in?" Linwin nodded and continued, "Now, we've succeeded halfway in our deal with King Jarvan III."

Camille and Silco looked at Linwin, wanting to know what he meant by halfway.

And Linwin explained to them immediately, "King Jarvan III has agreed to our proposed student exchange program. Starting in August, we can send students willing to learn forging and military tactics to Demacia for study, and Demacia will also send young talents to twin city university for study."

At this point, Linwin paused, tapped his cheek with his fingers, showed a helpless smile, sighed, and continued, "But unfortunately, he didn't agree to send Demacia's mages to us."

"Why?" A council member asked in confusion, "Demacia has strict anti-magic laws. Mages who are found are either imprisoned or expelled from Demacia's territory. Isn't it a good thing for King Jarvan III to voluntarily send Demacia's mages to us? Demacia and us are allies now."

Linwin knew what King Jarvan III wanted to do. The man in the background wanted to do something for the future of Demacia, that is, the growth of Lux, Garen, and other Demacian champions.

And just as Linwin was about to speak, Silco calmly said, "Because he has ambition. As far as I know, Demacia is improving its people's perception of mages year by year, and this is certainly related to the king's attitude."

"Demacia's only prince is also getting closer to the mages. Unless there's an accident, when he ascends the throne as king, King Jarvan III will abolish the ban on magic for him and open up a new path."

Linwin looked at Silco, nodded in agreement, and continued, "Silco said almost the same thing I wanted to say. If King Jarvan III succeeds, then in the future, mages in Demacia will have a piece of land where they can survive."

Linwin continued, "The deal I made with Jarvan III is that he agreed to the exchange student program, willing to sell petricite, and even willing to consider selling us the secret silver mines. But we need to help them deal with the ice raiders in Freljord."

Jayce thought for a moment and said, "Isn't Ekko in Freljord now? He's building a Hextech station there with his people."

"Yes, so it's not just for Demacia's sake, but for our own, we need to deal with those iceborn," Linwin nodded. "The living conditions in Freljord are worse than Noxus and Shurima. Resources are scarcer there, and most clans can only survive by raiding. Demacia and Noxus have been plundered by them as well."

Ekko is indeed in Freljord, with a few students and enforcers building a small cabin there. And when he recently called back, he mostly complained about the harsh winter in Freljord, where even thick clothes couldn't block the bone-chilling cold, and the icy wind felt like knives slashing against his face.

"Can't Ekko handle this?" Jayce asked.

"You expect a scientist to go fight?" Linwin gave Jayce a disapproving look.

To which Jayce, however, proudly said, "Hey, I can fight."

"My hammer has evolved to version 3.0, incorporating Powder's ideas, further enhancing the power of magic shells."

"Then why don't you go?"

Jayce hesitated for a moment, coughed, and said, "I have a lot on my plate."

"Then shut up," Linwin glared at Jayce.

"Okay," Jayce nodded.

"So who do you plan to send to Freljord?" Vander asked the crucial question.

There are really few people available in twin city right now.

The number of enforcers is low, less than a thousand combined in both cities, which is the military force of twin city, and most of the captains have been sent out.

Enforcer Captain Jack, Skite and Mark have all been sent out.

Graves, Twisted Fate, Ekko, and a few professors have also been sent out.

To be honest, Vander is a bit conflicted at the moment because, according to Linwin, the raiders in Freljord are not easy to deal with. They can even raid Noxus and Demacia. Whoever is sent to deal with them, the force can't be weak, right?

But now, from top to bottom in twin cities—

Linwin is the strongest, Kai'Sa second, Camille and Jayce councillors also have good combat abilities, and then Vander himself can also contribute to combat. As for Silco, forget it, he can only play shady schemes. It's not that they aren't effective, but Silco's body is too weak; that place would freeze him to death.

And just as everyone was hesitating, preparing to speak, a voice sounded.

"I can go."

Sevika raised her hand and said, "I can take turns with Vi as the sheriff."

But Linwin shook his head, "No, her temperament can't be a sheriff."

Powder nodded beside her, "If she's sheriff for a week, the station will be destroyed."

"But Sevika mentioned a good candidate."

"Let Vi go. It's been a long time since she fought, and I think her fists must be itching," Linwin said with a smile, spreading his hands.

Vander: "."

On a street in Piltover.

"Ah-choo!"

A big sneeze erupted, and a woman in enforcer uniform rubbed her red nose.

Beside her, a tall girl with a Hextech sniper rifle slung over her back turned to her, concerned, and asked, "Are you catching a cold?"

"Me? Catching a cold?"

Vi snorted, rubbing her nose, "Impossible."
