LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

One month later, deep in the desert, outside the city of Wekaula.

The Shurima Survey Brigade led by Taliyah is traveling through the long yellow sand.

Nasus is also among this group.

He was still wearing the dusty robe, carefully covering up his burly figure.

And with his height of three meters, even standing next to the huge Skalas camel beast, he still looks not inferior.

At this moment, Nasus was walking next to Sivir’s mount:

"She flows like the sea, read." Like a teacher, he taught ancient Shurima poetry word for word.

"She flows like the sea..." Sivir said with a look of despair.

"Feed the people with the tide, and the crops they cultivate." Nasus's voice was cadenced, and every syllable was full of emotion.

"Use the tide to feed people, and the crops they cultivate..." Sivir is like a machine that memorizes the text without emotion.

"She is the wheat grain for food and the cotton for clothing...Holy and vast mother of life, you are our eternal mother!" Nasus's recitation is like singing, which seems to make people forget that they are here. The fatigue of traveling long distances in the vast sea of ​​sand.

"She is..." Sivir became more and more depressed and his voice was weak.

"No energy, try again!" Teacher Nasus shouted in a deep voice.

"she is..."

"Louder! Recite with emotion!"

"I..." Sivir was silent.

Then, she burst out in silence: "Fuck! It's not over yet!"

Ever since this mysterious man joined the investigation team, he has been like the reincarnation of her dead father, forcing her to learn all kinds of useless knowledge every day.

Poetry, prose, mathematics, music, art, astronomy, geography, divination, magic knowledge, ancient Shurima language, and even ancient Shurima court etiquette...

Sivir was in class from morning to night, just like a Piltover primary school student who was ignored by his parents and signed up for a bunch of training classes.

She was being driven crazy.

How could she, the majestic goddess of war and king of mercenaries, learn those nerdy things here every day?

"Gan! I won't bear it anymore!" Sivir looked at the members of the mercenary group who were following him angrily, and yelled at her deputy: "You! You--"

"You all come here and bury this piece of shit in the sand!"

"Um...this." The deputy smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, boss, you... keep working hard." The mercenaries also drove their mounts quietly, moving further away from Sivir.

After getting along with each other for a month, everyone in the mercenary group now knows that their leader suddenly has a "father".

Although the origin of this mysterious father is unknown, his strength is frightening.

Shurima revere the strong.

Everyone could only watch as their leader Sivir suffered silently at the hands of this wild father he picked up on the road.

"Bastard!" Sivir lost her temper. She immediately whipped her "horse" and wanted to run away on her Scarash.

But Nasus just raised his arm.

Sivir and her camel beast seemed to be under a spell that stopped time, and their movements were infinitely slowed down.

"Let...let...me..." She seemed to have aged a hundred years out of thin air, and was so sluggish that she couldn't even speak.

"Stop it, Sivir." Nasus waved his hand to undo the spell, walked to her side again, and took the reins of her mount.

Then he educated: "First, I taught you etiquette, you shouldn't speak so vulgarly;"

"Second, I am your teacher, you shouldn't call me shit. Human civilization can continue because we have teachers;"

"Third, knowledge is precious. You have missed too many learning opportunities in the past, and you should cherish them now."

"As the heir to the Shurima Empire, these are what you should do. Do you understand?"

"Bah! I don't want to be the heir to the empire!" Sivir replied rebelliously as soon as he got rid of the control of the spell: "Even if I really have any lofty pursuits, I will only be the leader!"

As he spoke, Sivir looked at Taliyah with pleading eyes.

Taliyah just snickered: "The leader also requires learning cultural knowledge."

"You should listen to Mr. Giant, Miss Sivir."

Because Nasus said that he did not want to reveal his identity until he saw the hope of Shurima's rise, Taliyah and others kept calling him "Mr. Giant".

After getting along with him for a month, Taliyah discovered that this Mr. Giant was not only powerful, but also extremely gentle, knowledgeable, and patient.

Taliyah would be happy to have him become Sivir's teacher.

Not to mention anything else... Ever since Sivir got such a "father", she has been forced to take a shower and change clothes every day. After a month, her black skin was rubbed a few shades whiter and returned to a healthy wheat color.

This has greatly improved Taliyah’s living environment at night.

"Okay, you can reflect on yourself." Here, Nasus finished educating this ineffective student with a slight disappointment.

It was obvious that Sivir was not the royal descendant he expected.

"Memorize the long poem I just taught you. I will come to check your homework in a while." As he said that, Nasus ignored the autistic Sivir and slowly caught up with Taliyah's mount.

Sivir was learning, and he was always learning.

What I learned is the theory of the leader.

"Mr. Giant." Taliyah said enthusiastically, "Do you have any questions to discuss with me?"

"Yes." Nasus used his thick, bandaged fingers to gently open the booklet in his hand.

Although he has not been in contact with human society for many years, he knows nothing about the industrial revolution and civilizational progress that the twin cities outside the desert have brought to the world in the past few hundred years.

But he has a wise mind and a speculative spirit.

Just relying on the description of past historical development and current social background in the book, Nasus can understand what the leader is talking about Janna's thoughts.

After this month of study and understanding, he has a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical program of the Leader organization.

This is indeed a revolutionary, scientifically rigorous and extremely romantic belief.

The goddess Janna, who did not even have any serious teachings back then, could now come up with such a theory after observing the development of human society. This was indeed beyond Nasus' expectations.

"Your theory is of great practical significance. After this month of study, I have benefited a lot." Facing Taliyah's inquiring eyes, Nasus said humbly.

But he did not convert to the goddess Janna.

He was just using a scholarly attitude to understand Janna's thoughts. It is not only learning, but also finding faults for leaders.

Despite his strong feelings for the Shurima Empire, Nasus still has doubts about some theoretical details to this day.

"You said it." Taliyah responded carefully.

She didn't dare to be too pretentious in front of this knowledgeable giant.

The other party can always ask some sharp questions, which makes her, an experienced veteran cadre, unable to resist for a while.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time." Nasus said at this time: "The key reason why I have reservations about Janna's theory lies in your ultimate goal, the so-called Great Harmony."

After all, this is the ultimate ideal of leaders. If a person does not believe that a harmonious society can be built, then he cannot become a true ruler of Janna.

"Then, do you have any questions?" Taliyah asked cautiously.

"In fact, I believe that a harmonious society can be built." Nasus said: "As you discussed with Sivir a month ago, highly developed productive forces can meet the reasonable needs of all mankind, and a progressive society will create new of humanity.”

"People will feel satisfied when their reasonable needs are met, rather than endlessly pursuing their desires."

"But..." He paused slightly.

Then, he bluntly questioned: "I think you have overlooked one point."

"That is that the progress of human society is largely driven by people's ambitions and desires, rather than simply satisfaction with the current status of life."

"The reason why heroes throughout the ages have become key figures in promoting the progress of civilization is because they know that by working hard to improve themselves, they can get more for themselves."

"But if in a Datong society, everyone can only be allocated almost the same material resources according to their needs, then what motivation will humans have to work hard and strive to improve themselves?"

"This..." Taliyah thought thoughtfully.

She asked: "Mr. Giant, you are worried that after realizing the distribution of public ownership according to needs in Datong society, human civilization will stagnate, right?"

"Yes." Nasus nodded.

No matter how much or how little you do, the result will be no one working.

Even if they are urged to work, no one will actively seek progress.

This is what Nasus has learned from practice as an old leader with hundreds of years of experience in personnel management.

"I believe that Datong society is good for most people. But it is unfair to the powerful."

"I believe it can be realized. But the day when a harmonious society is realized, I am afraid that will be the day when the development of human civilization stagnates."

"People will lie down happily in a paradise on demand, and then slowly drown in the long river of time."

"Just like those Yodles..." Nasus said with disgust, using Bandle City as an example: "They have lived in the spiritual realm for thousands of years, but they have not created any splendid civilization."

"Almost all of them were eating, drinking, playing and playing around, like playful children."

"So after thousands of years, they are still living exactly the same life as before, with almost no progress."

There is a benefit to Runeterra. When discussing Datong society here, there is a real-life example of Bandle City that can be used directly for reference.

Bandle City, which was as beautiful as a utopia in the eyes of mortals, looked so miserable to Nasus.

He could not bear a stagnant world, a world in which no new knowledge was born.

But...

"Pfft-" Taliyah couldn't help but laugh.

"?" Nasus was not angry.

He was just curious about what kind of ridiculous fallacy there was in his words that made Taliyah, who had always been calm, lose her composure.

"Mr. Giant." Just listen to Taliyah say: "It seems that you don't know enough about the outside world, and you don't know enough about the Yodles."

"Do you know?"

"The leader of the Industrial Revolution in the Twin Cities, the founder of modern scientific civilization, and now the chief engineer of our leader's scientific equipment department, Professor Heimerdinger——"

"He's just a yordle."

Heimerdinger stayed in the Twin Cities for 300 years. The current flourishing scientific civilization of mankind is almost the flower watered by him. It can be said that he greatly promoted the development process of human society.

"Uh..." Nasus couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He did not expect that the point of view he proposed was untenable in terms of arguments.

In his impression, the yordles were still a bunch of kids who would never grow up.

Who would have thought that such a great man could be born among these "little cuties" who were raised useless in a utopia.

"This may be just an extreme case." Nasus thought for a moment and said.

And he was indeed right. Most yordles are "street gangsters" like Teemo. There are indeed very few people like Heimerdinger who are obsessed with a certain field and have achieved great achievements.

"No, Mr. Giant, you can't take the situation in Bandle City and apply it directly to humans."

"Most Yodels have no intention of science or progress. It is probably because they live in the spiritual realm and they have theoretically almost unlimited material resources."

"A harmonious human society can never be like this. So we know that we can only make continuous progress so that we can live a better life."

"How to make progress?" Nasus returned to the original question: "Most people are mediocre and indulge in pleasure, and the pursuit of progress is anti-human and painful."

As he spoke, Nasus looked at Sivir again.

Ask her to learn a little bit, and she will make as much noise as killing a pig.

If the Datong Society comes, then she will be completely turned into a waste?

"No, you are wrong." Taliyah argued, "You have fallen into the shackles of the theory of human nature again."

"But some things never change." Nasus said: "Just like it hurts when your hand is pricked - learning itself is a kind of pain for most humans."

"I'm afraid this kind of pain will not change until Datong society."

Nasus still believes that human beings love to enjoy themselves. The Datong society will bring "brain death" to all mankind, which will be the end of human civilization.

"But, Mr. Giant." Taliyah thought for a moment and replied, "Don't forget, there is another characteristic of Datong society:"

"Labor has become the first need of life - we will work regardless of remuneration or conditions, only to realize the meaning of life."

"That is to say..." Nasus questioned: "You are still hoping that human beings can overcome their instincts and love learning and labor unconditionally?"

Generating electricity for love? This sounds unreliable.

"Why not?" Taliyah said: "Heimerdinger studies science for reward? Mr. Giant, do you love knowledge for profit?"

“Everyone has a career that they love and are willing to fight for——”

"Including Miss Sivir."

Taliyah seemed to have guessed that Nasus would continue to use Sivir, a "mediocre", as an example to prove that he and Heimerdinger were just examples that could not be replicated.

So she took Sivir as an example: "Although Miss Sivir doesn't like reading, she is not very interested in music or art."

"But she loves sports very much. Throwing boomerangs is her biggest hobby in her spare time."

Although Sivir calls it practicing fighting skills, anyone familiar with it can tell that she just likes to play with this wheel.

"I think if we were in a common society where we didn't have to worry about making a living, Miss Sivir would definitely become a professional athlete."

"As for the others—"

"Actually, it's not that most people don't have a career they love, but life restricts them so much that they don't even have the opportunity to understand and discover what they really love."

Taliyah said a lot before saying:

"Mr. Giant, you can't think that just because you have seen those humans whose edges have been rounded off by life, that they are born numb."

"This is like asking the victims why they don't drink meat porridge. It's unreasonable."

"This..." Nasus lowered his head thoughtfully.

At this time, Taliyah talked about the "demand theory" that Li Wei did not write in the book but was widely circulated among the leaders:

“Physiological (food and clothing), safety (job security), social needs (friendships), respect and self-actualization.”

Datong society can only support people and satisfy the first two, or at most the first four, needs of mankind.

And when human beings have no worries about food and drink, no need to worry about livelihood, have lovers and friends, and gain equality and respect...

Human beings will instinctively pursue higher needs-the pursuit of realizing and perfecting their own abilities or potentials.

"In Datong society, everyone's freedom and ability can be fully developed."

"We do a job no longer because of how decent the job is and how profitable it is, but because of the most direct reason - I like it and I am willing to do it."

“That’s what we leaders say, each to his own ability.”

Taliyah spoke her mind firmly.

"Okay..." Nasus nodded secretly after thinking deeply.

But this does not mean that he fully agrees, but it is the beginning of his further questioning:

"I want to believe that in a harmonious society, human beings will overcome inertia and study and work purely out of love."

"But the question is... in Datong society, can human beings really be completely free to choose the job they love?"

"Can the so-called "from each according to his ability" really be realized?

Nasus’ question was very pointed:

"According to the division of labor in human society, in a well-functioning social system, there will always be many jobs that no one can love no matter what."

People can love literature, love art, love science, love magic, love politics, love history...

Writers, artists, scientists, magicians, politicians, historians... there are people who are willing to do these jobs regardless of remuneration.

But there will never be anyone who loves moving bricks, carrying bags, sweeping the streets, or digging into sewers, right?

"Everyone goes to do the work they love."

"Then who should do these tasks?"

"This..." Taliyah thought seriously.

This question may seem difficult to answer at first glance, but if you think about it carefully...

"This problem can actually be solved through the development of productivity."

The jobs Nasus talked about that people can't love, such as moving bricks, sweeping floors, picking up trash, etc...

To sum up, these are essentially boring and repetitive physical work that cannot create new things.

Doing the same thing every day without creating any fruits of labor that can make people proud will naturally make people resent work.

“But these boring and repetitive tasks can theoretically be completely replaced by robots and artificial intelligence.”

"Robot?" Nasus frowned slightly.

This touches a bit on his knowledge blind spot.

"It's similar to a self-disciplined golem." Taliyah said it in an easy-to-understand way.

"But unlike golems handmade by mages, robots can be industrialized and mass-produced at low cost, and used on a large scale in actual production and life."

"In fact, Zaun can now mass-produce steam robots - these mass-produced steam robots are still a little clumsy, but they can already replace humans in doing some simple manual work."

"Imagine, Mr. Giant..."

"In the future, boring and repetitive physical work will be completely replaced by machines, and material resources will be greatly abundant and distributed on demand..."

"Then everyone can completely let go of the burden of life and freely choose the job he loves."

"Our society will have hundreds of millions of scientists, artists, writers, politicians, magicians - everyone can be a scholar like you, or Professor Heimerdinger!"

Taliyah spoke excitedly about this wonderful future.

Nasus was vaguely shocked.

Technology is prosperous and everyone is like a dragon!

Enlighten the saints and make them wise, and everyone will become a saint!

This is the harmonious society that leaders dream of!

A month ago, Nasus would have scoffed at such an "unrealistic fantasy."

But now, after this month of study and understanding, he unexpectedly discovered:

Such a society is theoretically possible!

"Well..." Nasus thought deeply for a while.

He was still not convinced, but after thinking about it, he raised his head and asked a question:

"Then Taliyah, do you leaders have any specific criteria for judging when a unified society can be achieved?"

It's possible in theory, but it's another matter in practice.

After listening to the leader's "fantasy", Nasus wanted to know their specific development plans for the future.

"In short, to what extent must the productivity be developed before we can enter the Datong society?"

"With the capabilities of human civilization, is it possible to develop to this point?"

"This..." Taliyah was stunned for a moment.

The Grand Bachelor is worthy of being a Grand Bachelor, and this question is a fatal question.

Leaders believe that a harmonious society can be realized. They have common ideals, so they are called comrades.

However, when will humans be able to enter the Datong society...

Surrounding this issue, there are considerable differences within the leaders.

Radicals believe that with the current level of productivity in the twin cities, the world can be accelerated into a harmonious society;

Conservatives believe that humankind's current technological level is still very backward, and a harmonious society is still far away from us. Leaders should now make improvements on the basis of the Zibenzhu system, and wait until productivity increases before they can consider entering the next stage.

These two groups of people dislike each other.

One side said that the other party's fanaticism had entered his brain, and the other side criticized the other party for the lingering poison of narcosis.

If it weren't for the discipline of the organization and the strong leadership with Li Wei as the core to grasp the direction, especially if there was a real-life goddess Janna hanging above her head to unite people...

Taliyah doubted that the huge differences between the two factions would allow them to fight each other themselves.

"Well, Mr. Giant..." She thought for a long time and could only answer truthfully: "Actually, we leaders don't have a specific answer as to when a harmonious society will be realized."

"Yeah." Nasus nodded.

He accepted this answer.

Predicting the specific solution to the ultimate problem is difficult even for leaders.

Not knowing is not known, admitting your ignorance, and then groping forward in the right direction, this is not a wrong answer.

"But President Levi has a rough hypothesis about this."

To Nasus' surprise, Taliyah actually thought about it and gave him a relatively specific answer.

"Chairman Levi believes that the industrialization and electrification of the entire Rune Land, coupled with the leader's political power, can achieve the primary stage of Datong society."

"The true Datong society is the informatization and intelligence of the entire Rune Land, plus the leader's political power."

Such a prediction cannot be verified now.

After all, in the entire Rune Land, only the small Twin Cities have truly achieved industrialization.

To realize the informatization and intelligence of the world, mankind still needs to move forward a long way.

But this ultimately sets a concrete goal for mankind, allowing leaders to identify the direction of future progress.

"This... is indeed a feasible and ambitious plan." Nasus commented after thinking deeply.

"Phew." Taliyah secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she asked carefully: "Mr. Giant, do you have any other questions?"

"I..." Nasus was silent: "No more."

Yes, no more.

He could hardly find any problems with the leader theory.

But the Shurima Empire he longed for had one problem - it was dead.

The empire has been dead for 3,000 years, and there is still no hope of resurrection.

At this time, Janna brought a new answer. When he took a closer look, he was quite right.

"Could it be that..." Nasus finally struggled: "The prophecy really led Shurima to Janna?"
