LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Chapter 4 What did you write

After leaving home, Li Weihua bought half a loaf of Siberian labor camp-style black bread with the last copper ring on his body.

Put it in the free public fountain to soak it soft, and just deal with it for a dinner.

"You are very good to that child." While eating, Jana suddenly sighed.

"This is her brother's last wish." Li Wei replied.

"...I believe your words now, Mr. Summoner. You should not be some evil guy."

Compared to before, Janna was much less hostile.

Not only because of Li Wei's concern for his sister, but also because of the article he wrote in cooperation with her.

An evil person cannot write that kind of words——

"Zuan, where did you come from?" "

This seems to be just a popular science history article.

The article is indeed like an ordinary history textbook, combing from top to bottom along the time axis, starting from the tribal civilization era after the human migration 7,000 years ago, the Shurima Empire era that began 6,000 years ago, and 3,000 years ago. The era of warlords and kingdoms, the era of parliamentary city-states that began 300 years ago, and the era of the division of the two cities more than 200 years ago...From ancient times to the present, the entire history that happened in the land of Zaun.

Janna had never been interested in such articles before.

Because she herself is a living history textbook thousands of years old. How can she, a person who has experienced history, know as much about those history books compiled by mortals and blind people?

But Li Wei's article shocked Janna.

Not because of the hidden and novel historical materials that Li Wei unearthed, but because he provided a brand new perspective.

Before Levi, historians of Runeterra, even Janna herself, only knew how to tell history from the "ruler's perspective", or "hero's perspective".

For example...

If the previous Janna were to describe the birth of the Shurima Empire, she would definitely say this:

"After ascending to the military, Setaka was guided by the giant god of the heavens, and became the first ascensioner in history after being baptized by the sun disc. With the powerful force of the ascensioner, he cleared and annexed all the tribes in Shurima, and established the first in human history. a unified slave empire."

But Li Wei only regards this paragraph as the background of the story, and what he rewrites is:

"With the development of productivity, the increase in the number of products has reached a surplus relative to the needs of survival. This makes tribal prisoners of war turn from the original killing to economically profitable slaves. Tribal leaders are transformed into slave owners, and others Step by step into slavery..."

"The tribal slave owners, including Setaka, are driven by economic interests to plunder, annex, and unite with each other, and continue to grow themselves. Human civilization has gradually moved from individual tribes to tribal alliances, from tribal alliances to slavery kingdoms..."

"..."

These words almost subverted Janna's understanding of the world.

She had previously firmly believed that human beings were able to establish a civilized Shurima Empire from a barbaric primitive tribe, relying on the great power bestowed by the giant god and the sun disc.

But Li Wei believes that even without giant gods and sun discs, human beings will move from tribes to slavery kingdoms sooner or later.

The appearance of giant gods and ascenders is just a cheat for human beings, which greatly speeds up the process.

In the final analysis, productivity is still improving.

Yes, productivity...Janna learned a lot of new words from Levi and was exposed to a whole new set of ideas.

And after being exposed to this knowledge, some questions that Janna had seldom thought about and could not understand in the past became clear in an instant.

Why did the slavery system gradually disintegrate at the end of the Shurima Empire?

Why did Shurima die and were replaced by feudal kingdoms?

Why did the Kingdom of Zaun, once ruled by kings and nobles, gradually develop into a commercial city-state controlled by the plutocratic council?

All this seems to have the answer.

but...

Know something useful?

Can publicizing these histories that not many people care about make people follow and believe in them?

Thinking about it, Janna couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

So she couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Summoner, I still don't quite get it. What you're promoting seems more like a... scientific theory? Rather than a belief."

"Just imparting theory and knowledge, can it really attract followers?"

"Of course." Li Wei said firmly: "Only by mastering this knowledge can one understand the past. Only by understanding the past can one understand the present."

"What Zaan people lack most now is thinking—they have to seriously think about why Zaan is like this."

"If you can figure it out..."

"They are already followers of 'you'."

...................................

Meanwhile, in the rental house.

Lina read the article like a fascination, forgetting to eat and sleep.

Now she really believed that Li Wei was inspired by the divine scroll of Goddess Janna and enlightened to wisdom.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her brother to write this kind of article with his education level of prenatal education.

"What's going on, has my brother really seen Janna himself? I'll have to ask him when I come back tomorrow."

Lina worried about Li Wei for a while, and then noticed the content of the article itself:

"It turns out that in the past history of Zaun, there are still so many secrets..."

Unlike Janna.

Janna's existence transcends the world, and her vision covers all directions. The first time she read this article, she realized that what Li Wei wanted to share was not history itself, but a set of ideological tools for analyzing history.

But as a Zaunite struggling to survive in Piltover, Lena's first reaction after reading this article was:

"These bloody old Piltovers—it turns out they weren't such good stuff in the first place!"

Lina is most concerned about the various historical secrets mentioned in the article.

Especially the dark history of Piltover.

According to the official textbook of Piltover, Piltover was founded 300 years ago by a group of merchants who pursued cooking with seed oil.

They worked together to overthrow the evil old Zaun kingdom and established the first independent city-state with a parliamentary system in Runeterra, bringing unprecedented freedom and prosperity to the people of this land.

As for these great merchants in pursuit of freedom...

How they accumulated huge wealth enough to subvert a kingdom in the first place is only mentioned briefly in the history books.

But Levi, with the help of Janna, writes clearly about their process of accumulating wealth:

"Accompanied by the rumbling sound of steam machinery, the few resources, land, and population of the Kingdom of Zaun were quickly swallowed up by the giant beast that was gradually awakening...Of course the small country of Zaun cannot satisfy its endless desires ..."

"Zuan merchants, who have made a living by sea trade since ancient times, quickly looked across the ocean to the Shurima continent that has been lonely for thousands of years."

"In the hundreds of years since then, privateers armed with guns have gradually spread across the sea, and coastal settlements are like pus spots of smallpox patients, almost filling the skin of Shurima..."

"Shurima was reduced to a place where slave labor was commercially hunted...the natives were exterminated, enslaved, and buried in mines, factories, ports, and wherever something could be squeezed out of them."

"The virus even gradually spread from Shurima to all over the world... Demacia, Noxus, Ionia, Bilgewater... As long as it is profitable, merchants dare to risk their heads Risks on any shore, against any nation..."

"..."

The great fighters who overthrew the kingdom's rule more than 300 years ago, the ancient merchant families who still hold the power of Piltover Council today...

When their family history was dug out, almost every line was bloody and dirty.

"These Picheng elders have the nerve to call us barbaric... Obviously they are the descendants of a gang of robbers!"

After reading this article, Lena just felt that she had been cheated before.

She also hated Picheng before, but what she hated was the arrogance of the people in Piltover and how they discriminated against her.

But in her mind, Piltover was born to be better than Zaun.

Picheng is so civilized, progressive and prosperous, and the people of Picheng are so gentle, kind and elegant.

When the people of Zaun can kill each other bloody rivers for a few silver wheels, the people of Piltover can pull down the main electric switch of the whole city just to save a bird tangled in a wire.

Zaun does not regard human life as life at all, but Picheng treats every life as a human being.

This may be the reason why Zaun will never be able to compare with Picheng.

...

Lena thought so before.

But now... Why is Zaun lagging behind? Regarding this question, she seems to have a new answer:

The law enforcement officials in Piltover still firmly control Zaun, and the factories in Zaun are all backed by capital from Piltover. Is this a kind of colonial plunder?

Her brother came to Piltover as an apprentice, how different is this from the slaves who were plundered 300 years ago?

"It's all the fault of these sanctimonious Old Picheng!"

"If Zaun can be made independent from Piltover's rule, maybe we too have a chance to live the life of Piltover."

Lina couldn't help but have this thought.

But after thinking about it for a while, she felt that she seemed to have missed something:

Li Wei's article didn't seem to be simply scolding the elders of Picheng, but also exposing the scandal of those old nobles.

He seems to be taking the opportunity of dissecting this true and cruel history to impart some deeper knowledge.

"what is it..."

Lena is still in vain.

At this time, the novel theory that Li Wei used when analyzing history finally gradually attracted her attention...

What she suddenly realized:

"Yeah! It's almost 6 o'clock..."

"Professor Jess' assessment interview is at 6:30, if you don't leave, you will be late."

Lina woke up suddenly.

I can't even think about it anymore.

She randomly stuffed Li Wei's notebook into her schoolbag, and left home in a hurry.
