-198- The sparrow and the goddess

The next morning, in high spirits, Linwin knocked on Taliyah's door.

The little sparrow, dressed in a child's pajamas, rubbed her eyes and looked at Linwin in a sleepy haze.

"Master Linwin? What's going on?"

"Come, I'll show you something."

Linwin extended his hand, happily patting Taliyah's little head.

Yesterday, with Taliyah's assistance, Linwin felt that there was progress in his relationship with Kai'Sa.

After all, Kai'Sa accepted her title, right?

Linwin had been contemplating how to break through this thin layer of hesitation with Kai'Sa.

But Taliyah directly shattered it.

Now, only a confession was missing.

Rubbing Taliyah's head, Linwin had a face full of smiles.

Happy, so damn happy.

In his hands, the little sparrow's hair was somewhat dull, but it had improved significantly compared to before. Linwin couldn't help but praise the alchemists in Zaun who created shampoo from various materials, which both Kai'Sa and Powder used with excellent results.

Kai'Sa's hair became even more smooth and shiny, while Powder's blue braids became soft and pleasant to touch.

Taliyah also fell in love with this stuff after using it a few times.

After all, Taliyah was also a girl, and there's no girl who doesn't love beauty.

"So early?" Taliyah felt a bit shy about Linwin's head-patting and took a step back, lowering her head, then noticed her pajamas.

Then, the little sparrow immediately said shyly, "Master Linwin, I, I'll go tidy up first."

After Taliyah got dressed, she followed Linwin.

"I'm ready, Master Linwin. What are we going to see?"

"I'll take you to see her magic. You always feel that your magic is too destructive and you're afraid of using it recklessly. But after seeing her magic, Taliyah, you'll understand. You still have a long way to go, and there's much for you to learn."

"Her?"

Taliyah certainly didn't know whom Linwin was referring to.

But in Zaun, even singing dancers used magic. Taliyah had seen it with her own eyes, the girl on the stage making constant magical sounds.

"Go, and you'll find out."

Linwin smiled and used wind to envelop Taliyah. Then, carrying her, they flew up.

————————

Flying towards the west of Zaun, after half an hour, Linwin and Taliyah arrived at the convergence of the seas between Valoran and Shurima.

This was where Taliyah had been practicing her magic.

"Taliyah, I know you have a kind heart, and you're always worried that your magic might harm innocent people when it goes out of control."

Turning around, Linwin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Taliyah who was sitting cross-legged in the wind.

Yasuo didn't use magic. In the end, what he taught Taliyah was how to control her own mind.

What Yasuo taught Taliyah was probably just meditation and calming one's mind, right?

So Linwin was very clear that Taliyah hadn't reached her peak yet. She still had a long way to go. Therefore, Linwin was trying hard to make Taliyah use magic more. This was to expand her "capacity" and let her absorb more at this stage.

Linwin wants to make Taliyah, this little sparrow, even more powerful in the future.

In the realm of swords and will, Linwin might not be as proficient as Yasuo, but when it comes to magic, Linwin is undoubtedly stronger than Yasuo.

Because Yasuo can't use magic at all.

Moreover, unlike Yasuo, who left his home with a bad reputation, Linwin teaches Taliyah with assistance.

"Master Linwin, after seeing your magic, I've understood." Taliyah shook her head, looking at Linwin and said, "I've released all my magical power."

"No, you haven't, Taliyah. You're still worried."

Linwin smiled, shaking his head.

"Do you think I'm already very powerful?"

Taliyah vigorously nodded her little head, "Of course! You're super strong!"

"But Taliyah, I am actually one of the weaker ones," Linwin said cheerfully.

It's just that compared to those monsters, he is considered weak.

"!"

Hearing Linwin's words, Taliyah was shocked.

"I know you won't believe me, so I brought her here."

Linwin gently raised his hand.

"Janna, please."

Janna.... Janna!?

Taliyah heard this name and was reminded of something.

Janna, isn't Janna the goddess of Zaun?

Is Master Linwin summoning a god? Is he also a worshiper?

Taliyah looked at Linwin with incomprehension, and then she saw a beautiful bird appear on Linwin's head.

It was an unusually large blue bird, with a graceful posture standing on Linwin's head.

In its pair of blue pupils, Taliyah even saw a trace of cunning.

She saw human expressions in a bird's eyes?

"You..."

Linwin also was stunned, silently retracting his hand. Then he raised his hand and waved it above his head. Taliyah saw the beautiful blue bird disappear, and then, it appeared next to Linwin.

"Why aren't you chubby?" Linwin looked disappointedly at the bird in front of him, a bird that was half his height, "Clearly, chubby ones are cuter."

"Because the power of belief has already been consumed," Janna spoke, her voice ethereal and pleasant, but it terrified the little sparrow nearby.

"Master, Master! The bird actually spoke!" Taliyah stretched out her hand, pointing at Janna in shock.

Janna turned her head slightly, not angry at Taliyah's impoliteness. Instead, she curiously observed Taliyah, then said softly, "There's a scent of them on you."

"Them?"

"Entities like me, but not as powerful as I am now."

Ganna replied softly.

"Oh, you're talking about the Great Weaver," Linwin immediately understood.

Like Freljord, Shurima also had various gods.

But unlike gods like Janna, born purely from human beliefs, those gods existed originally.

Janna's situation was special; she could be powerful, but she could also be weak.

The more people believed in her, the stronger she became. Conversely, if people in this world forgot about her, Janna would disappear completely.

But now, it seemed impossible for Janna to disappear.

The influence of Zaun and Piltover was radiating worldwide.

In the future, Janna's followers would only increase.

"What do you want me to do?" Janna groomed her feathers, asking Linwin.

"Stir up a storm, let my disciple see real magic."

"She thinks her magic is powerful, so powerful that it's difficult to control," Linwin looked at Taliyah, then continued, "But with you here, she won't harm anyone, right?"

Ganna: ....

So, she's just a tool again?

The good-tempered goddess nodded and, in the next moment, the blue bird dissipated into light and shadow.

Next, a woman dressed in white, holding a staff, and radiating divinity appeared before Taliyah and Linwin.

Janna became taller, once a regular human height, now approaching three meters tall, and even more beautiful.

It seems that after fully digesting the power of belief from both cities, Janna has truly transformed.

On the side, Taliyah also understood.

This is the god of Zaun.

"Taliyah, watch Janna carefully."

"Don't worry that your magic will harm others. Just completely let go, release it, control it, and then you can go further."

With Linwin's voice falling.

The sky darkened!

Dark clouds gathered, and as Taliyah looked into the distance, she saw within tens of thousands of meters in this deserted sea area, waves gathering towards this spot.

Beside the little sparrow, the Wind Goddess raised her staff high.

"Tempest."

"Obey my command."

Linwin raised an eyebrow.

From assistance to command?

At this moment, Janna is the wind goddess of this world.

Perhaps...

In control of the wind, Janna has surpassed that bear in Freljord.

She is the true wind goddess.
