LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 424 Rock Sparrow?Wind Sparrow√

"Social survey?" Sivir frowned slightly: "What does that mean?"

"Ah" the deputy also looked blank.

He thought for a while, and said, "It is said that I want to walk around Shurima, have a look, and chat with the locals."

That's pretty much what those Za'an guys conveyed through the intermediary.

"Isn't this just sightseeing?" Sivir pouted.

"It's not the same." The deputy felt that he understood: "I paid for the travel and sightseeing myself. But this social survey seems to be paid by the Leaders Association in Zaun."

"Oh." Sivir also understood.

This is the same as the gang of Noxus officers.

When they ate, drank, had fun and spent their time in Shurima, most of the money they spent was the public funds of the imperial colonies.

"Cut." She smiled disdainfully: "It really is."

Shurima, especially the coastal city-states on the north coast of Shurima, has close trade and cultural exchanges with the two cities.

At least [-]% of the goods shipped from the northern shore of Shurima will converge at the Sun Gate Canal in the Twin Cities.The streets of Zaun and Piltover are never short of desert traders from Shurima.

Therefore, Sivir has also heard various legends about the Association of Leaders.

It’s just that when these legends spread from the twin cities to the northern shore of Shurima, and then from the coastal city-states on the northern shore of Shurima, through the word of mouth of the desert caravan, and then spread to the vast desert where Sivir has been active for a long time, they have changed a lot. appearance.

In the version heard by Sivir:

Leaders are saints chosen by God, the saviors of suffering people all over the world.

It's as if the leaders are all angels descending to earth and saints reincarnated, and their bodies are filled with Buddha's light, and mortals can be saved just by looking at them.

Many desert tribesmen believe this.Anyway, as long as it can give them a little more hope in their bitter life, they are willing to believe anything.

But Sivir scoffed at that.

Based on her experience gained in the desert for many years, most of the folk churches that pretend to be "saviors" all day long are not serious sects.

This Association of Leaders is probably about the same.The Janna goddess they believed in was probably not a good god either.

Sivir thinks so.

And the entrustment she received this time made her even more convinced of this.

saint?Savior?

"Haha." Sivir couldn't help joking to his deputy: "Go, let's meet these saviors."

Sivir led her mercenary group into Belgun, and searched all the way according to the meeting address given by the middleman.

But when she found the hotel where she agreed to meet, there were only a few hotel clerks who had been instructed in advance.

They told Sivir that the leader's investigation team had already left the city in the morning, and it is said that they went to the oasis outside the city.

So Sivir went all the way outside the city.

She originally thought that she would see a group of rich men from the two cities wearing suits and leather shoes, riding tall horses, with servants and entourages, roaming freely on the banks of the oasis river.

As a result, she saw a group of "mud legs".

It is a literal mud leg.Those who claim to be leaders are busy by the river with all kinds of strange instruments at this time.

Their clothes and attire look similar to the most common Shurima desert tribesmen.

The dark skin gleaming with sweat under the scorching sun, and the turbid yellow mud stained on the rolled-up trouser legs made their image infinitely closer to a Shurima farmer who worked hard on the banks of the oasis river.

"You guys are the leaders?" Sivir confirmed with some disbelief.

"Yes." A girl who looked like a team leader gave her an affirmative answer.

This little girl has a simple appearance, clear eyes, and rough skin that is unique to desert tribesmen.

"You look like a Shuriman," Sivir couldn't help saying.

"You read that right, Miss Sivir." The girl told her, "I am from Shurima. Most of the members of our social investigation team are also Shurima living in Shuangcheng."

"Get to know each other," said the girl, reaching out her hand. "My name is Taliyah, and I come from the weaver tribe in the south of Shurima."

"Weaver tribe?" Sivir frowned slightly.

She is well-informed and knows almost every desert tribe in this vast desert.

She knew that Miss Taliyah was from the weaver tribe, who had been nomadic in the southernmost hilly area of ​​Shurima all year round-this place is a little further south, but Icacia is barren of grass.

"That's really far away." Sivir couldn't help but sigh: "How did you go to Zaun? And, what kind of leader are you?"

"Well, it's a long story." Taliyah was willing to tell her own story.

She was born in the rocky Shurima foothills bordering the menacing shadows of Icathia.Her childhood was spent herding sheep in the tribe of wandering weavers.

Taliyah had thought that she would spend her life in such an ordinary way.

But at the age of 16, she suddenly awakened the powerful magic of the earth element, and possessed the terrifying talent of manipulating huge rocks and shaking the earth.

She is ignorant and unable to control such a powerful talent, and in this isolated wandering tribe, there is no one who can impart her mysterious and noble magical knowledge.

Reluctantly, for the safety of her fellow tribesmen and to prevent her magic from getting out of control, Taliyah had to leave her hometown alone and embark on a long journey to find magic knowledge.

"I wandered all the way from the south to the north shore of Shurima, and met Noxus colonial officers on the north shore of Shurima."

"Those Noxians thought my magic could be used by the Empire, so they tricked me into embarking on a ship to the Immortal Bastion."

If nothing else happened, Taliyah would then be taken to the Immortal Bastion to be inspected and trained by the Noxus magic group.

After that, she may be thrown into the battlefield of Ionia as a humanoid weapon to shine.

There, Taliyah will also meet a man who controls the wind, and learn from him the true way to control the power of the elements.

But none of this happened.

Because the journey from Shurima to the Immortal Fortress passes through Zaun, and when Taliyah passed through Zaun, she happened to encounter the shocking scene of the goddess Janna descending into the mortal world.

"At that time, I knew that those leaders would definitely teach me the mystery of controlling the elements and help me control my talent."

"So I easily got rid of those Noxian officers who were frightened by the goddess Janna, and went to Zaun to join the leader."

"Later," Taliyah's clear eyes seemed to burst into light: "I not only learned the secrets of controlling elements from the leader as I wished, but also learned some more precious knowledge from here."

She also became a leader.

In the past half a year, she has worked as a grassroots cadre in Zaun, supported the Anti-North War in Ionia, and also worked with her comrades at the grassroots level in Ionia to gain some practical experience in social transformation.

after that.
"I took the initiative to apply to the organization to return to Shurima to do social survey work." Taliyah said seriously.

Although the leader has no plans to fully intervene in Shurima for the time being, Li Wei also intends to let Azir clean up the mess first.

But the connection between Shurima and the two cities is so close that there are many Shurima expatriates in the same situation as Taliyah in Zaun's Leaders Association.

After successive successes in the struggles of the Twin Cities, Bilgewater, and Ionia, they couldn't wait to bring the successful experience of the leader back home, so that Shurima could also be liberated as soon as possible.

In this regard, Li Wei is of course not easy to stop.

It’s not easy for him to say to the comrades in Shurima in the tone of a big brother that you Shurima has no conditions for the Janna Lord’s struggle for the time being, you should take it easy and let those warlords and desert robbers continue to dominate blessing.
So Li Wei agreed to this plan to conduct social surveys in the Shurima region.

And this does not conflict with his strategic plan.

Anyway, even if the leader does not intervene in the situation in Shurima now, he will definitely intervene fully when his strength grows in the future.

At that time, whether it is liberation, or the subsequent social transformation and industrial construction, a series of comprehensive social surveys will be needed to lay the foundation.

Starting social surveys now is also a way to prepare for a rainy day.This is necessary.

"So here we are."

"We plan to conduct a comprehensive social survey of the entire Shurima region, and to realize this plan, we must cross the vast desert ravaged by warlords and bandits."

"So we need guides who are more familiar with the road than us laymen, and we also need a group of experienced bodyguards."

Taliyah made it clear why she came here, and also explained their purpose of hiring Sivir and his party.

Next, Taliyah is going to tell Sivir about the general route of the journey, as well as some specific requirements for cooperation.

But instead of talking about the boring job, Sivir was more interested in the "social investigation" that Taliyah mentioned.

Anyway, the commission was pre-determined, and she didn't care much about the rest.

"It seems that you are not here to travel." Sivir looked at her thoughtfully.

Taliyah's gravel-like rough skin and rock-like firm eyes have already shown that she is a pure Shurima girl.

And the Shurimans had had enough sand.They will not travel all the way back to travel.

"Then what exactly is this 'social survey' you're talking about?" Sivir was a little confused.

She looked at the endless oasis river in front of her, and asked curiously: "What are you doing now?
"We're measuring the flow of the river," Taliyah said.

"The flow of the river?" Sivir's brain was a little out of order.

Her family was killed by desert bandits when she was a child, and she was orphaned at a very young age.

Therefore, her education level is that of prenatal education, and she can't understand many professional terms at all.

What's more, there are not many rivers in Shurima, and no one has the heart to measure the flow of rivers.This word is even more uncommon to the people of Shurima.

"To put it simply." Taliyah also knew that Sivir didn't understand well, so she explained in an easier-to-understand way: "We want to figure out that in this season, this river can be transported to Belgun downstream every day." How many cubic meters of water."

"If we continue to observe, we can roughly calculate the annual runoff of this river in a year. That is, how many cubic meters of water it can transport to Belguen in a year."

"Why do you count this?" Sivir said with a blank face, "Is this also a social survey?"

Although she doesn't know much about social surveys, she understands surveys and "society".

Shouldn't society be about people?What does the investigation river do?
"Water is the source of life." Taliyah sighed, "Miss Sivir, we are all Shurima. Is there anything more important to Shurima than water?"

"Where there is no water, there is no life, let alone development."

"This is a natural law that our leaders cannot change."

With that said, Taliyah looked at the river in front of her.

She talked about her investigation experience in Belgun these days: "Compared to the central region covered by the vast desert, the north coast of Shurima is undoubtedly lucky."

"The geographical conditions along the coast have brought relatively humid climate conditions here, so that there are constant rivers with stable runoff."

"So correspondingly, a developed agriculture and animal husbandry that is completely different from that in the central desert has developed here."

"Barley, wheat, potatoes, olives, citrus, apples, watermelons, jujubes, cotton, vegetables and other crops account for a full 7% of Belgun's export commodities."

"Because it is only 200 nautical miles away from Zaun and Piltover, Belguen has also become an important supply base of melons, fruits and vegetables for the two cities. The bilateral trade volume between the two sides reached [-]% last year."

"This..." Sivir frowned more and more tightly.

She felt as if she was taking a culture class.Although I can understand everything, I don't know what is the use of learning this thing.

So she asked directly: "What is the use of you investigating these?"

"What good will it do you leaders to know how much water there is in the river of Belguen, and what kind of food and melons are grown?"

"Of course there are benefits!" Taliyah introduced to Sivir enthusiastically: "Belgun's agriculture is based on the use of this limited water resource."

"Knowing how much water is in the river in a year, we can plan water conservancy construction, planting area and crop types for Belguen more scientifically in the future."

"In the end, the limited water resources will be utilized to the extreme, so that Belgun can scientifically and rationally cultivate more fields, grow more food and vegetables, and earn more foreign exchange for export."

"Also, not only does agriculture consume water, but industry also consumes water."

"The industry needs to consume cooling water, process water, boiler water, raw material water for the food industry and a few chemical industries, flushing water, air-conditioning water, hydraulic water, and fire-fighting water."

"Steel, electric power, coal mining, papermaking, printing and dyeing, leather, sugar, metallurgy, and smelting industries. These industries are all major water consumers."

"Only by knowing how much water resources are available here, can we better plan industrial development for Belguen in the future, and avoid launching projects blindly, causing ecological collapse, environmental degradation, and affecting everyone's production and life. Influence."

Taliyah spoke enthusiastically.

Sivir was dizzy.But she still vaguely understood the core meaning of these words: "That is to say, Taliyah."

"You leaders are conducting social surveys to help Belgun develop better."

"Yes." Taliyah nodded: "We will definitely liberate Belgun from the hands of the imperial colonists and comprador manor owners, and then build it even better."

"And not only in Belguen, but also the entire north shore of Shurima, and even the entire Shurima."

"All in all." The purpose of the leader is: "We want to make everyone in Shurima live a better life!"

Taliyah's words echoed loudly.

Sivir looked at the light in her eyes, but felt uncomfortable.

She is used to the life of a mercenary who fights against each other and intrigues, and deals with the most vicious warlord tribes and desert bandits in Shurima every day.

She has never seen a "living saint" like Taliyah, or the Leader, let alone accept it.

Do these leaders really regard themselves as the saviors?
Are they really saints?Is it an angel?

"Heh." Sivir felt that this group of people must have another purpose: "When you talk about liberation and construction, I think you just want to run over to occupy the land of Shurima like those Noxians."

She gave outright bad reviews.

Then waited for Taliyah's reaction.

Taliyah
"Sivir." The girl looked at her with big watery eyes and said, "Your suspicion is right!"

"Huh?" Sivir was slightly taken aback.

"The colonists have ravaged the northern shore of Shurima for hundreds of years, and everyone seems to have gotten used to their existence." Taliyah clenched her fists and said, "People are already numb. But you are different. , Sivir—”

"You still have the spirit of resistance and a heart to question injustice."

"This is exactly what our leaders want to see!"

Sivir: "."

She felt that this girl was like a lunatic.

Although Taliyah's eyes are clear and her mind is clear, her innocent words sound like madness in the land of Shurima.

"I know you don't believe me, Sivir." Taliyah seemed to be able to read her mind: "But I believe that you will understand us in the future journey."

Saying this, Taliyah held out her hand to her.

Sivir thought about it.
"You said so many beautiful words, you don't want to trick me into giving you free jobs, do you?" She looked over suspiciously.

"Of course not." Taliyah said sincerely, "We won't lose any commission. I just hope that more people can understand the beliefs of our leaders."

"." Sivir was silent for a while.

Then, she held the hand solemnly: "Okay. I will accept your commission."

　It’s still an update today, ahem, this chapter feels difficult to write when it’s really written, one-sidedly portraying the positive image of the leader, it’s really easy to write a sketch for the Spring Festival Gala
　　But after writing the protagonist’s appearance today, it should be easier to write after the plot unfolds tomorrow_(:з」∠)_
