-137- Please become the city's idol!

"Wait, wait, wait!!!"

Linwin instinctively pushed his palm forward in shock, accidentally touching the lightning surging in Zoe's hand.

"Crackle!"

As if provoked, the yellow-green thunderous serpent on Zoe's hand instantly entwined around Linwin's palm, creating a continuous crackling sound.

However, Linwin felt nothing, as he was still immersed in the words of the system.

The Spark of Zaun?

"Ah!" Zeri was startled and quickly retracted her hand, shouting, "Sir Linwin, Sir Linwin, are you okay? I didn't mean to; you touched it yourself."

Linwin completely ignored Zeri's words. Beside Linwin, Kai'Sa shook her head at Zeri, confidently saying, "Don't worry, Linwin is fine."

Kai'Sa's confident tone influenced Zeri.

"Really?" But Zeri still had some doubts. After all, that was lightning. 

In her childhood, Zeri once caused a community-wide blackout due to emotional instability. She knew how powerful the lightning she released could be.

"Of course." Kai'Sa smiled at Zeri and raised her hand.

In Kai'Sa's palm, Zeri saw a purple liquid leaking out. Upon closer inspection, Zeri gasped, holding her breath. She even stopped breathing, observing attentively. She could sense danger, although it was different from her electric power, and the potency wasn't as high. Still, it was plasma! Highly concentrated, burning plasma!

This thing could explode!

"Is this also magic?" Zeri looked at Kai'Sa's hand, then up at Kai'Sa's face.

Is this also magic? If electricity can be turned into plasma, Zeri wants to learn! She wants to turn her electricity into plasma, and then she can make larger batteries. This way, she can contribute even more to the Flower Street community!

Kai'Sa hesitated whether to speak about her situation.

This was certainly not magic; it was a bodily mutation. Linwin had researched her, mentioning a bunch of electrified things in Kai'Sa's body. Linwin also said that plasma is some kind of ionized gas, something like air but not air. 

In short, Kai'Sa found Linwin's explanation confusing.

Why would she care about all that? It wouldn't make her stronger!

As Kai'Sa was about to explain her situation, Seraphine stepped in ahead of her, shaking her head at Zeri and saying, "Zeri, don't ask. Kai'Sa doesn't want to talk about it."

"Yes, Zeri. My situation is a bit complicated, and I don't want to talk about it. But how did you know?" Kai'Sa looked surprised at Seraphine, questioning, "Is it like what Linwin said? Can you see peep into people's thoughts?"

"Yeah, but Kai'Sa, I didn't mean to. I can't control my ability." Seraphine looked apologetically at Kai'Sa.

In this world, no one would willingly expose their innermost thoughts to others. No one wants the contents of their hearts laid bare, whether good or bad.

Seeing Seraphine's apologetic and timid demeanor, Kai'Sa quickly reassured her, "It's okay. It's not your fault."

Looking at Seraphine, Kai'Sa saw a reflection of herself.

She didn't want this skin, didn't want this power, but she couldn't do anything about it.

But fortunately, living in Zaun now, Kai'Sa's life was happy. Although sometimes she would be concerned about Shurima at night, thinking about those dangerous things, Linwin said that Kai'Sa couldn't handle them alone, and he would find a way.

Kai'Sa believes in Linwin.

Listening to Kai'Sa's inner voice, Seraphine nodded at this beautifully woman and whispered, "Thank you."

At this moment, Linwin, who had disconnected, finally reconnected.

"I understand, it's because I haven't kept up with the updates!"

Linwin clapped his hands.

The speed at which League of Legends releases new champions is incredibly fast, with an average of four to five new champions per year. They release a new champion every two to three months, which is a frequency that can overwhelm their competitors, especially that Butt watch. 

////Probably Overwatch, but that shit is even worse now... ////

Therefore, Linwin was just organizing his thoughts.

How long had he been in this world?

It had been over ten years since he came to Zaun, and for a moment, Linwin almost forgot. But after careful thought, he remembered.

Before coming to Zaun, the newest champion was Akshan. And before Akshan, there was a ragdoll with large scissors.

And this Spark of Zaun. It was likely to be a champion released after Akshan, or even later. Was it ahead of schedule?

Linwin was truly dumbfounded.

If that's the case, isn't his belief that he can roughly understand what will happen in the world over the next few decades too inflated?

What if the universe changes?

What if there are new champions causing trouble, just like this Spark of Zaun?

Linwin had a headache for a moment.

But... oh well, this was ultimately a good thing, right?

Zeri is a Zaunite, so she's one of his own.

As for Zeri's role...

Linwin didn't know anything about Zeri now. Therefore, he needed to verify what Zeri's abilities were and what she could specifically do one by one.

But the ability to release lightning... that's indeed a powerful ability.

Perhaps Zeri, like Annie, Rell, and Taliyah, is a mage with maximum elemental affinity.

This talent is practically a bug!

And between lightning and fire, which one is more powerful?

Not to mention that electricity may not be something significant in other countries, but in Piltover and Zaun, electricity is the cornerstone of both city-state civilizations.

With electricity, more things can be accomplished.

Just like Jayce's Hextech. 

Is Hextech powerful? 

Of course, it is. 

But even if it's as powerful as Hextech, it still needs a large amount of electricity when activated. And electricity is one of its energy sources.

The Spark of Zaun...

Linwin looked at Zeri, who was looking at him with confusion, and smiled.

Ha, it seems like he suddenly thought of Zeri's role.

Zaun Electrician!

Child labor?

Child labor is also welcome!

Isn't Ekko like that?

Well, now the most important thing is to bring little Seraphine back to Zaun.

After all, Seraphine is originally from Zaun.

Looking at Seraphine, who was standing beside him, opposite to Kai'Sa, Linwin whispered, "Seraphine, do you want to be a singer?"

Seraphine was taken aback. "Become a singer?"

"Yes, you may not be fully aware of your abilities. You might think you can only hear the deep voices within people, understanding their thoughts. But, Seraphine, your abilities have a more powerful application," Linwin explained. 

"Your ability can convey through your singing to awaken the beauty within people's hearts. Your voice can also alleviate stress and dispel melancholy. You possess the power to manipulate hearts."

Linwin regarded Seraphine's ability as a kind of magic, something he called "Mind Magic."

"It's a magic that can manipulate the heart. If used for malicious purposes, Seraphine's destructive power is no less than Kai'Sa's. One is physical destruction, and the other is mental disruption," Linwin explained.

"Become a singer?"

"Yes, a singer."

He suddenly felt like he was neglecting his duties. Idol culture in Zaun, seriously?

Especially in the face of danger with Noxus to the north and Shurima to the south.

Noxus had a military force obliterated by Zaun, and given the brutal and bloodthirsty nature of the empire, they would undoubtedly seek revenge on Piltover. 

Moreover, it was 985 years now, and in a few years, Swain would gain power, initiating radical reforms in Noxus. By then, Noxus would become the most powerful nation in Runeterra. Truly, he offended a formidable place.

As for eliminating Noxus now?

Don't joke; there are people who can suppress Linwin in a battle in Noxus, and he knows his own capabilities.

So, quickly becoming stronger is the right path.

Then, there's the issue of Shurima. The Void is surging there, and Shurima's emperor is waiting for rebirth.

And at this critical moment, Linwin is promoting idol culture?

But this wasn't really neglecting duties!

To truly strengthen Zaun, it must merge with Piltover. However, people's hearts are unpredictable, and even if they agree on the surface, they may betray behind the scenes. This isn't a rare occurrence.

However, Seraphine has the ability to change all of this.

Perhaps with her singing.

With Seraphine's ability, the relationship between the two cities could truly improve.

After all, she is the most powerful idol in all of Runeterra!

Seraphine tried to listen to Linwin's thoughts, but could only hear the wind whistling. She looked up to see Linwin grinning.

"As a singer, what do I need to do, Councilor Linwin?" Seraphine asked.

"You need to become the idol of Piltover and Zaun."

"An idol? But do I have that ability?" Seraphine questioned the concept of an idol. It's someone who is admired, a role model. But Seraphine didn't think she could become the idol of Piltover and Zaun. On the contrary, Councilor Linwin was the one who could become the idol of both cities.

"Wait a moment, Sephine. What I mean by idol may be different from what you understand," Linwin explained. "Please don't worry; you can do it. Once you become the idol of Piltover and Zaun, you can use your voice to improve relations between the people in these two cities."

////I dunno what this mean too, could be another nickname for Seraphine in the Chinese community. ////

"Really?"

Seraphine hesitated for a moment but then asked, "Wait, Councilor Linwin, did you just call me Sephine?"

She pointed at her face, looked at Linwin, and asked with a strange expression, "Are you calling me?"

Is it right for Zeri to call me Phinny, and Councilor Linwin to call me Sephine?

Looking at it this way, Zeri's one is more appropriate, at least there's some resemblance?

Sephine.

Although it's catchy, it's not my name!

"Oh, don't mind it."

Having found a solution to the problem and gained a new employee like Zeri, Linwin was in a good mood at the moment, smiling and saying, "Anyway, Seraphine, I'll count on you. To save the relationship between Piltover and Zaun, please become the city's idol!"

Seraphine blinked: "."
