LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Zaun and Piltover.

Today's sky looks extremely blue.

The breeze summoned by the wind leaders with their divine power dispersed the alchemical exhaust gas and industrial smog over the city.

New Zaun's landmark building, Jade Bird Plaza, has several times more visitors than usual. They include fashionably dressed people from the Twin Cities, as well as foreign brothers with different skin colors and different clothes, who are obviously from all over the world.

The place was a little crowded, but it still couldn't stop the smiles on people's faces.

They are crowded but not chaotic. Everyone followed the guidance of the incarnation of the blue bird and stood in an appropriate position in an orderly manner, waiting for the grand event to begin.

And among the crowds, in the open Blue Bird Square, stands a set of pure white statues made by Demacia's master sculptors - the protagonists of the statues are those who have sacrificed their lives all over the world. The heroic people who fought against the undead invasion.

Flowers carefully cultivated by Ionian wood weavers are blooming in every corner of the square and in every flower bed.

Brand-new bluebird flags stretch freely in the wind amid the bustling crowds and flourishing flowers.

All of this indicates that today is extraordinary.

"Warmly celebrate the establishment of the Janna Dominion Alliance in Runeterra, and warmly welcome comrades from all over the world!"

The slogans hanging in the square said it all.

Today's grand event in Zaun and Piltover is the birthday party of this great alliance.

Although Janna's main Yi Alliance has been officially established for some time, it is a bit late for her birthday just now.

However, due to the fact that both Demacia and Noxus suddenly changed their banners and transformed from kingdoms/empires with a strong nationalistic atmosphere to Janna's dominant countries, many people in the country could not accept the drastic change of "subjugation". , there will inevitably be some turmoil.

Therefore, the leaders decided to let the comrades of the participating countries focus on handling their own affairs first.

When the situation is stable and the world is at peace, we will hold this grand party again.

On this day, representatives of leaders from all over the world will gather in Zaun and Piltover to witness this unprecedented and unprecedented event that unites all mankind.

The ceremony has not officially started yet.

But Levi, Victor, Mel Myrdalda and other members of the Central Council have already arrived at the scene in advance as today's protagonists.

"Isn't this a bit too extravagant?" Looking at the grand scene in front of him, Levi couldn't help but sigh.

In order to prepare for today's grand event, the leader even repainted the Hinomon Sea Gate not far away, which served as the background of the ceremony.

At first glance, it was so magnificent that I almost hung the silk on the tree.

Not only that, the Wind Leader also invited a group of mages from Noxus this time to create a dazzling and colorful illusion of a huge blue bird above the venue, adding momentum to the opening of this event.

The etiquette, reception, and security at the scene are all made up of one-of-a-kind, graceful beauties...

Oh, they were all played by LeBlanc alone.

That's okay.

But in general, the Twin Cities have never been presented to the world in such a gorgeous manner before.

"This seems to be a bit formalistic." Not only Li Wei, but Victor also secretly muttered.

One of them is the president and the other is the vice president. Of course, they will not be personally responsible for the specific arrangements of this ceremony.

These specific planning and preparations are all the responsibility of the celebration preparatory committee temporarily established by the General Assembly, as well as the capital municipal departments of Zaun and Piltover.

They just signed and agreed to have a big one.

I didn’t expect that when it was implemented below, it would become such a big deal.

"What do you think, Mel?" Levi did not make more comments based on his personal likes and dislikes. Instead, he habitually asked Mel and other members of the board of directors for their opinions.

"You want me to see it..." Mel smiled and looked at Levi and Victor.

True leaders don’t bother to hold back their opinions.

With the true unity brought by the thread of faith, the leaders do not need to consider favors or face when speaking, and do not need to be careful and walk on thin ice to maintain the appearance of harmony.

So, she made a blunt suggestion: "President, Vice President, it's time to get rid of the philistine mentality in you."

"The significance of this celebration has been demonstrated during our meeting -"

"Think about it, what kind of situation are we facing?"

"It is said that with the establishment of the Janna Dominion Alliance in Runeterra, mankind will usher in true great unity, but in reality? Has the great unity of all mankind really arrived?"

of course not.

"We have Demacians in our alliance, we have Noxians, we have Ionians."

"They have all aroused a strong national consciousness in successive years of war. They are proud of their cultural traditions and national spirit, and they hate each other, accumulating blood debts that are difficult to resolve."

"We also have the Baru, Shuriman, and Freljord in our alliance."

"They had even been living in a primitive tribal society before. They only saw tribes, not countries, let alone an alliance of all mankind that transcended countries and nations."

"We also have Zaun and Piltover people in our alliance."

“These citizens, who were the first to enter modernization and became wealthy first, will instinctively despise those latecomers, those foreign farmers who are ‘ignorant and backward’ and ‘insolent and rude’.”

"..."

Mel talked a lot.

Her meaning is also clear. The Windbringer has unified Runeterra, but humanity is far from united.

If the Windleader organization suddenly disappears from this world, then Demacia can turn back to Demacia the next day, and Noxus can turn back to Noxus, and then pick up the hatred of the past and pick up The mutual disdain and estrangement between them have aroused mutual anger.

Meyer's conclusion is: "It is not that simple to shape the common recognition of the Janna Dominion Alliance by all mankind."

"So what should we do? How can we really unite people of different races and civilizations who are so separated from each other?"

“Where to start?”

This is a grand proposition. If we really discuss it, it would probably be enough for scholars in the Twin Cities to fill a room full of papers.

But the simplest way is:

"Hold a grand celebration so that all mankind can celebrate the same festival."

"So we can't feel bad about the small money. If you want to do it, do it big. Try to make this first alliance celebration a grand event for all mankind, and broadcast this scene to every corner of Runeterra through Hex projectors and magicians. , so that everyone can deeply remember this day and join in the carnival of this prosperous age."

Levi and Victor were silent for a while.

Then, they all said frankly: "Comrade Mel, you are right. This time we thought about the problem too narrowly."

"It's good if you can figure it out." Seeing Levi and Victor admit their mistakes, Mel couldn't help but smile.

She likes the discussion atmosphere of being a leader.

This scene would never have appeared in any previous kingdom or group.

No matter how open-minded a leader is to accepting advice, he will not like subordinates who sharply criticize their superiors or colleagues who insist on expressing their opinions directly. Gradually, few people were willing to express dissent.

But leaders are different.

Leaders pursue the truth, and the truth becomes clearer with more arguments.

Levi knew that he was just a small citizen in the past, and Victor only knew that he was just a scientist who was deaf to outside world. They both have their own limitations in thinking about problems.

Correspondingly, Mel also knows that she was a successful entrepreneur in the past, and her understanding of the world is also bound by her past experience.

On many issues, she also had to humbly adopt the opinions of Li Wei and others.

"Actually..." Mel followed Levi and others towards the rostrum opposite Jade Bird Square and made a suggestion while the iron was hot: "I think just holding this alliance celebration is not enough."

"It would be best to hold more of these, man-made celebrations that can allow all mankind to celebrate together."

"It's a pity... In addition to the Alliance's birthday celebration, Labor Day, and the Memorial Day of the Underworld War, I can't think of any other holiday that can be accepted by all mankind at the same time."

After saying that, Mel looked at Levi half-jokingly:

"President Levi, if it doesn't work out, why don't you sacrifice yourself?"

"Aren't you going to marry Miss Seraphine soon? How about we organize a big wedding for you?"

"No, no, no, no." Levi refused quickly.

Each kingdom in Runeterra had a tradition of celebrating the king's wedding to unite people's hearts.

But he is not a king, and he does not have the status of the royal family in the hearts of the people in a traditional monarchy country.

Because the leader really has a goddess there.

Therefore, even if the common people really want to thank the savior and find a statue to worship, they will only worship Janna, not him.

In fact, except for the Zuan people, they would be more grateful and admired Li Wei who personally brought them out of the sea of ​​suffering...

People in other areas only have an impression of Levi as Janna's chosen one and the goddess's "summoned beast".

Levi was also happy to see this.

People always like to create gods. But at best, humans can only become great people, but they cannot become perfect, error-free gods.

If he was put on the altar and held up, he would fall down sooner or later.

Fortunately, Janna is here to support me.

Janna is a true god. If she does not interfere in secular affairs or participate in governance, she will never make mistakes and will always be a perfect god in people's minds.

"Okay, okay..." Levi also knew that Mel was probably joking.

So he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Seraphine and I have already discussed it. We will just invite a few familiar friends and have a small wedding."

"It's you, Comrade Mel... do you want your wedding to Mr. Jess to be more lively?"

Even before the arrival of the leader, Jess, a handsome young man, had already been firmly controlled by her as a business investor.

If it hadn't been for the sudden emergence of the Wind Leader to interfere with the world line, the two of them would have been fighting together.

Later, as the most important scientist, entrepreneur, and Hex equipment supplier in the Twin Cities, Jace had to deal with Mel, who held an important position in the Wind Leader Association.

The two of them just got closer and closer, and they got together naturally.

When it comes to these private matters, Mel, who is used to being a strong woman, is not as shy as those young girls.

She answered naturally: "Jess and I are still in the running-in stage. Getting married? That depends on my further assessment and observation of him."

"Don't talk about me either..." Mel looked at Victor again: "Comrade Victor, where are you and Miss Skye?"

"Huh?" Victor was slightly startled.

Coming from a technical geek background, he is obviously not as magnanimous as Mel in this regard.

Miss Skye was his former colleague at Piltover University and had worked with him for many years.

She was also the only person in the laboratory, besides Heimerdinger and Jace, who didn't secretly look at him because of his Zaun origin.

"I just had a date with Miss Skye two days ago..." Victor said with some embarrassment, "How did you know?"

"Uh..." Everyone present was speechless for a while.

Apart from Victor, there is probably no other person in the association who doesn't know that researcher Skye likes him.

"You two have finally achieved enlightenment." Li Wei sighed.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but joke: "Victor, should you give up on that 'mechanical ascension' idea now?"

Victor suddenly fainted at work, and then discovered that he was actually terminally ill.

But at that time, the leader had not yet emerged, and he still had a lot of work to do.

Seeing that his sick and weak body that day once again restricted his pursuit of his ideals, Victor actually came up with a crazy idea——

He hopes to use the Hex Core to transform himself into an immortal robot and continue his unfinished business.

And later, maybe it was stimulated by this terminal illness incident, or maybe it was still trapped in this naturally weak body...

Even though Janna had cured his illness with the Resurgence Monsoon so that his terminal illness would never get worse, Victor still couldn't let go of his idea of ​​"mechanical ascension".

Everyone thought his idea was too extreme, but he was still secretly studying this in private.

There are even many "mechanical parties" among the people who were inspired by him and regard "mechanical ascension" as a shortcut to the Lord Janna.

"What now?" Levi asked him jokingly: "Victor, do you still want to be a robot?"

Miss Meier even raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled meaningfully: "If a person becomes a machine, he will lose a lot of the fun of being a human being."

"Ahem." Victor waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't want to, I don't want to."

"You are right..." Unknowingly, a happy smile appeared on his lips: "It's better to be a human being."

"Hahahaha." Everyone couldn't help laughing.

While joking, Levi and his group gradually walked towards the observation deck opposite the Blue Bird Square, which was the rostrum of the celebration.

Although the celebration has not yet begun, there are already many people under the observation deck.

They were all invited war heroes, model workers, representatives from all walks of life, and outstanding individuals. They were waiting for the celebration to begin and attended the stage together with Li Wei and others.

For example...

"President! Hey, President!" A middle-aged uncle rushed over excitedly when he saw Levi appear.

"Um...is it you?" Levi's face darkened a bit as soon as he saw the identity of the visitor.

Isn't this the snack bar uncle?

Just because when Levi was doing research in Zaun, he once had a meal of Demon Marsh Frog at this uncle's food stall. Later, he thought his Demon Marsh Frog was delicious, so he ate two more meals when he passed by.

This guy took the opportunity to let him take a group photo. Later, after Zaun became independent, he directly developed the group photo into a huge photo and hung it on the wall of his snack bar.

Even the signature dish of his snack bar is called "President's Demon Marsh Frog".

Later, his business grew bigger and bigger, and more and more stores imitated his "President" brand, so much so that a "President Cuisine" was formed...

Li Wei regretted it too late.

"Why are you here too?" Levi looked at this shrewd businessman in surprise.

I saw the snack bar owner puffing up his chest proudly: "Because I am a combat hero who has made meritorious service in the Battle of Mordekaiser and a model representative of the Zaun militia!"

"Huh?" Levi was even more shocked.

"It's true, President..." Zelie and Chuck quietly appeared beside the snack bar uncle.

The three of them are now not only friends, but also comrades and comrades-in-arms.

This time, Zelie was invited as a fighting hero and Chuck as a model worker, and the snack bar owner was invited to attend.

"Well..." Li Wei believed it now.

Unexpectedly, this shrewd small businessman would one day be the representative of the heroes and models invited to the ceremony.

"I'm sorry." He apologized sincerely: "Comrade, I failed to look at the problem from a development perspective, and I looked down on others."

"W-where is this..." The snack bar owner was very excited.

He grabbed the hand that Li Wei extended, and he couldn't wait to look for camera lenses everywhere: "President Li Wei, can I take another photo with you?"

Levi: "..."

He flashed away from the snack bar owner.

"cannot."
