-171- Daytime with Powder and nighttime with Kaisa

"I got it. I'm leaving now, but remember not to close the window. I'll come in through the window tomorrow morning."

"Powder, it's dark at night, ride your board slowly, and be careful."

"Oh, I know, Linwin. Why do you sound more and more like Vander? Every night when I come back, you say the same thing."

Pouting, the girl with a single ponytail and blue braids expressed her dissatisfaction.

For Powder, being treated like a child by Linwin is the most unacceptable thing.

She's already seventeen, an adult! Though not as old as Vi and Kai'Sa, oh, even Lux is a bit older.

Mm.., even Zeri seems to be older than her....

Anyway, the point is—she has grown taller, and growing taller means not being a child anymore!

Who says you have to judge adults and children by age? But Linwin always treats her like a child, and that care makes Powder unhappy.

On one hand, Linwin cares about her, which is a good thing, but the way he cares...

"You can come later; I want to sleep a bit more in the morning."

"Nah, I don't want to."

At the window, Powder, holding her Hextech board, turned back to Linwin, made a face, stuck out her tongue, and continued, "And it's time for you to take a bath. Let Zoran help you or let Viktor help you."

"Is it really smelly on me?"

Linwin lowered his head and sniffed himself.

Zaun, being deep underground, is naturally humid in the canal of this ravine. Even though Zaun now has various technologies to isolate and dehumidify, in the past, life was not so convenient.

However, even with these technologies, humidity remains a significant issue. After rainy days, the air in Zaun would be filled with a faint musty smell and strange mineral odors.

If you don't change clothes and don't take a bath for three or four days, not only will your body become damp and oily, but it will also carry a strong smell.

This is one reason why many Piltover residents don't like Zaunites because they can easily tell who is from Zaun.

In the past, poor Zaunites couldn't afford to change clothes, let alone take a bath every half month. Clean water, unpolluted at that time, was a precious commodity.

But now, while not every household has a device for heating hot water, at least boiling hot water for a bath is no longer a troublesome task.

The lives of Zaunites are gradually improving.

"It's not very smelly, but not pleasant either."

In Linwin's room, Powder jumped out of the window. From the second floor to the ground, a distance of at most four or five meters, it should be a dangerous move, but two seconds after Powder jumped out, outside Linwin's window, the sound of combustion and mechanical engines rang out. Then, a strong blue flame flashed before Linwin's eyes.

Powder elegantly flew away on her Hextech hoverboard.

Inside the room—

After finally calming down Powder, Linwin stopped her from inventing magical RPG to blow up Noxus.

Feeling mentally exhausted, he leaned back and controlled the wheelchair to the bedside. Linwin was ready to climb into bed and rest.

Just to close his eyes for a little while.

The Great Stand at Navori, this incident gave Linwin a great shock.

Irelia cut off Swain's arm a year earlier.

Isn't it reasonable for Swain to establish the Trifarix Council a few years earlier and seize Noxus's power tomorrow?

Then it shouldn't be impossible for Azir to crawl out of the ground a bit earlier and shout, "Shurima, your emperor has returned!"

And the mage rebellion in Demacia...

Thinking about the major events about to happen in Demacia, Linwin's hand reached the bedside and hesitated.

The mage rebellion in Demacia.....

Can this event, like Piltover and Zaun, change?

Linwin remembers that both generations of Jarvan were good people.

No, it should be said that as the king of Demacia, the Lightshield family is deeply trusted and loved by the people.

Demacia was supposed to have a system where council members elect the emperor, that is, an electoral system.

However, by Jarvan's generation, it changed from an electoral system to a hereditary system.

First, second, third generations, won't it be a hundred years of ruling Demacia?

Jarvan III only has one son, the well-known prince of Demacia.

The future king of Demacia will only be Jarvan IV.

But whether it is the current third generation or the future fourth generation, Linwin sees them as wise and outstanding kings.

Jarvan III can make Xin Zhao devotedly obey him, naturally possessing unique charisma.

As the king's only son, Jarvan IV received the best education from an early age. Jarvan IV's character and morals are impeccable; he is well aware of his responsibilities—to dedicate himself to the people.

From Xin Zhao, the prince learned a variety of war arts, making Jarvan IV, who already had natural leadership talents, an excellent general.

This is also a major reason why Garen admires Jarvan IV—Jarvan IV's tactical intuition.

Thinking of this, Linwin's mind flashed with many thoughts.

In Sylas's story, it is not explicitly mentioned that Sylas killed Jarvan III. Therefore, there is much more to Jarvan III's death than meets the eye.

He had his guard, Xin Zhao, deliver that letter. The letter was meant for the leader of the Mage Seekers, and in the story, Xin Zhao was initially reluctant to go because he knew the king's situation was perilous. However, Jarvan III insisted that Xin Zhao deliver the letter.

Therefore, based on what the Jarven III did and the letter that had to be delivered to the captain of the mage seekers, the content of the letter is not hard to guess.

The purpose of this letter is, of course, to stop the Demacian mage seeker's hunting of mages, to reform Demacia's attitude towards mages, and to change Demacia's policy of ostracizing mages.

However, Jarvan III failed because he died after Xin Zhao left.

And the blame fell on Sylas.

Because the king, dedicated to solving the mage problem, died in the hands of those mages during the mage uprising.

Of course, the prince doesn't know that Sylas didn't do it.

But firmly believing that the tragedy was caused by the mages, the prince developed a strong aversion to mages, and Demacia became even more hostile to mages.

It was a tragedy.

A tragedy that could've been avoided.

Even though it might have been challenging, it wouldn't have led to the same path and outcome.

Linwin's upper body hung over the bedside, his thoughts drifting, thinking about many things at once.

He often organizes his memories like this.

It helps Linwin better cope with the upcoming major events.

And as time passes, major events don't line up one by one, but come in groups.

Therefore, Linwin is now contemplating whether to intervene in the matter of the mage uprising in Demacia.

Let's say he does intervenes, but the issues in Zaun and Piltover are not yet resolved.

Under some policies and with Seraphine's performance on Progress Day, opinions between the two cities have indeed softened a bit. But forming a new country where the two cities unite as one is impossible.

Now, the real challenge for Zaun and Piltover has just arrived.

How to truly dissolve hatred, work together, and become the twin stars of the world is a challenge.

For this, Zaun is about to implement a new plan, a magnificent plan that will shock the world.

And Piltover will integrate Zaun's alchemical technology, establishing a new school for people from both cities to attend, increasing contact between Piltover and Zaun residents.

Therefore, there are many things happening in both cities.

But if you talk about ignoring Lux and Fiora now...

Linwin really can't handle such matters.

After the Sylas uprising, Lux was harshly criticized. To put it bluntly, Lux was considered the scapegoat for Demacia. It was said that the uprising occurred because of her "hypocrisy."

Yes, the mage issue had been building up, and sooner or later, it would have erupted. Even without Lux, there would have been others.

But that doesn't absolve Lux of her mistakes.

Therefore...

"Okay."

Linwin sighed.

Talking to Fiora and giving her a little warning shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, Fiora listens to Linwin very well now.

She really treats Linwin like a teacher. 

Linwin finished his contemplation, exerted effort to prop up his body, and intended to turn over and lie down on the bed.

And it was at this moment that a knocking sound echoed.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Three gentle knocks.

Quite different from Powder's chaotic "Knock, knock, knock, knock! Bang, bang, bang, bang!" knocking.

Linwin knew who it was.

Sure enough, the next moment, Kaisa pushed open the door, peeking her head in and saying to Linwin.

"Dinner is ready."

"Okay."

Linwin nodded, bending down to look at Kaisa. After a pause, he spoke, "Thank you."

Kaisa shook her head, walked into the room, went to the bedside, effortlessly lifted Linwin, and then "stuffed" him into the wheelchair.

Lifting Linwin was like lifting an apple.

As a mutated human, Kaisa indeed had this exaggerated strength!

Um...

Although it's a bit embarrassing, Linwin can't deny that he's secretly delighted.

Now, his days are like those of a wealthy landlord.

Food comes when he opens his mouth, clothes come when he stretches his hand, and even going to bed has someone to lift him.

Compared to the evil landlord, the only thing missing is a girl to warm the bed at night.

But if he said something like warming the bed to Kaisa, he would undoubtedly be hit with a purple plasma shot.

However...

Daytime with Powder and nighttime with Kaisa.

What a bliss..
