LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 427 Will Sivir's Leader Get a Husband? (two in one)

The setting sun bloomed on the ridgeline of the desert, dyeing the endless yellow sand into a crimson sea.

The sky gradually darkened, and the clouds changed from orange-red to dark red, and then gradually dimmed.The strong wind is still howling between the desert and the Gobi, but the air it sends is no longer scorching hot, but cold and unbearably bitter.

"Stop." Sivir looked up at the sky: "The wind may be very strong tonight."

"Yes." Taliyah nodded secretly.

Don't rush in the desert at night, this is common sense that every Shuriman understands.

It's easy to get disoriented at night, and it's bitterly cold.Some dangerous desert creatures also like to take advantage of the cover of night to come and go.

And the sandstorm that may be brought by the cold night wind at any time is a natural force that ordinary extraordinary people cannot compete with.

Therefore, the merchant tribes walking in the Shurima desert will drive the scalas—a creature similar to a camel but several times larger—to form a giant ring-shaped "camel wall" at night. Humans block the dust storms at night and provide them with a desert haven where they can build temporary camps and light warm bonfires.

These safe havens are like mobile cities in the desert, ensuring that the Shurima people can survive tenaciously in this cruel land and pass through cold and unforgiving nights one after another.

But Taliyah couldn't use that trick.

She has a more convenient way:

"Rock protrusions - the art of civil engineering!"

I saw Taliyah lightly jumping off the rock "skateboard" floating on the sandy sea, with a light touch of her toes on the ground, the ground began to tremble slightly in the halo of earthy yellow magic power.

Soon, the underground rocks protruded from under the long yellow sand and reached the surface.

They are constantly moving, deforming, and reshaping the structure, and on this empty and endless desert, they have transformed into rough but firm stone huts.

"Tsk tsk, this is really convenient." Although it was not the first time he had seen such a spectacle, Sivir still couldn't help being amazed by it.

In her long mercenary career, she has dealt with mages quite a lot, but there are very few people like this who use magic to create things instead of destroying them.

"Because it is the magic of our leaders." Taliyah replied proudly.

Leaders have been working on research on how to apply magic to daily production and life, so that mages can also play their special role as superhumans in other places besides the battlefield.

In terms of high emotional intelligence, this is called further liberation of productivity;

Speaking with low emotional intelligence, this is called taking precautions to solve the employment problem for future mages.

In case the world is peaceful in the future, they can't find suitable jobs that match their talents, and they are unwilling to do the same jobs as ordinary people. In the end, they will be unemployed and laid off collectively, which will become an unstable factor in society.

Li Wei wanted to start the League of Legends sports league because of this consideration.

In short, in the leader, the mage is not just a humanoid weapon of war.

A fire elemental mage can be a good cook who perfectly controls the heat;
A water elemental mage can be a firefighter who protects the safety of the people;

Wind elemental masters can engage in aviation professions and be the safety guardians of airplanes and airships;
Psychic mages can emulate Seraphine and shine in political and publicity positions.
Among the many types of transcendents, the employment of earth elemental mages is the least worrying.

Prospecting, mining, beneficiation, archaeological excavation, emergency rescue and disaster relief, civil engineering... There are too many places where they can be used.

"When I was a grassroots cadre in Zaan, I worked on the construction site." Taliyah recalled proudly: "Many magics used in the construction field were developed by me and my fellow workers."

"Yeah." Sivir nodded casually in response.

It does sound interesting to use magic to build production.

The enthusiasm of Taliyah and others to work together to build a better life, as well as the various achievements they have made, also make people yearn for it instinctively.

But after getting along with each other these days, Sivir already has enough understanding of the leader.She has begun to become immune to all the good things displayed by the leader.

She realized that her yearning for the leader was not so different from the Shuriman yearning for Piltover in the past.

In the final analysis, it is the yearning for a better life and better material conditions.

However, Sivir still cannot accept the truly valuable things of the leaders—their ideals and beliefs, or the ideology of the leaders.

If she could accept it, she wouldn't even want the "free gift" of divine power, watching Skalash baring her teeth in the desert every day, and practicing boomerangs in the air.

"Okay, okay." Sivir looked at the sun that had completely set in the sky, felt the sandstorm that was gradually getting stronger, and was even less interested in listening to Taliyah's introduction to her career as a leader in Zaun.

"It's night. Go inside, Taliyah."

As she said that, she tied her Scarash outside the stone house, and walked into the house with her luggage.

After arranging the accommodation of her companions, Taliyah followed into Sivir's room.

In the entire investigation team and mercenary team, there were only these two women.

They had always lived in the same stone hut so that they could be by their side during the perilous desert nights.

And after Taliyah entered the room, she saw that Sivir had devoured several large pieces of dried meat and bread with clear water.

Then she took off the leather armor and cloth boots that had long been smelly from sweat, and rubbed off the wet and torn socks with her toes——

Before Taliyah called her, she lazily wrapped up a dirty windproof blanket and collapsed on the rough stone bed.

As soon as the eyes were closed, the bridge of the nose trembled, as if he would start snoring in the next second.

"Are you going to sleep now?" Taliyah hesitated and installed the alchemy battery for the camping lamp, which illuminated the room brightly.

"Why don't you sleep?" Sivir lazily raised his eyelids: "In the desert night, there is nothing else to do except sleep."

"Don't worry. My mercenaries will stand guard for everyone. If there is anything unusual, I will wake up as soon as possible."

With that said, she rolled over wrapped in a blanket, and was about to fall asleep to the whistling wind outside the house.

"Don't you read?" Taliyah asked a bit concerned.

She has been silently observing Sivir's thoughts and studies.

However, Sivir's original enthusiasm for learning was still very high.But in recent days, Sivir not only became more and more obsessed with practicing boomerang during the day, but also read less and less at night.

Till today
"Don't read it." Sivir simply gave up completely: "I don't understand."

"What can't you understand?" Taliyah approached enthusiastically, and sat down on the single stone bed next to her: "You can ask me if you don't understand anything like you did a few days ago."

Sivir did not rush to ask the question as before, but fell into thinking in silence.

After a long time, she shook her head seriously: "Forget it, I won't ask any more."

"I found out that it's not that I can't understand your books."

The "A Brief Introduction to Janna's Thought" in Sivir's hands is already the most friendly version after many iterations by the Association of Leaders in order to take care of the per capita cultural level of Runeterra.

This is at best an introductory guide for Master Janna, and the threshold for understanding is not that high.

So Sivir actually understands.

"I just can't accept it." Sivir replied, frowning.

"Why can't you accept it?" Taliyah was puzzled: "Is the belief of our leader not good?"

"Okay, of course." Sivir took out the crumpled booklet from her chest, and sighed, "It's just too good to make people feel unrealistic."

"You mean?" Taliyah mused.

"It's your ultimate ideal!" Sivir pointed directly to the core point of the leader's theory: "The so-called Datong society."

"Taliyah, I believe in the ability and character of your leader. I also believe that you can make Zaun, Shurima, and even the entire Runeterra better."

"But this one is better, at most it's just a little bit better."

"For example. No matter how well you do, it's impossible for everyone in Runeterra to live a good life like Piltover, right?"

"This." Taliyah nodded frankly: "At present, it is indeed impossible."

Piltover and Zaun are the only developed industrial cities in Runeterra today.

If we use the leader's definition of the quality of human life, more than 99% of the world's population in the vast areas outside the Shuangcheng City are actually living in a state of extreme poverty.

Just two cities will lead the world out of poverty and become rich.This is easier said than done.

"But if we can't do it now, it doesn't mean we won't be able to do it in the future." Taliyah said confidently: "As long as we keep walking on the right path and keep working hard, we will definitely make the world Everyone lives a better life comparable to that of Piltover."

"How long will that take?" Sivir asked.

"Um..." Taliyah was speechless.

Although the leader is good at making a plan and setting out to complete it.But the influence of the leaders is far from spreading across the world, and they don't know enough about the overall situation of Runeterra, so how can they formulate a long-term plan that guarantees that the world will get rid of poverty and become rich now?
"Look." Sivir wrapped himself in the blanket again and collapsed back, looking like a wriggling caterpillar: "You can't even tell when we will be able to live the life of a Pichengling."

"Then how dare you promise that you will be able to realize the Janna-led society?"

Sivir's questioning was forceful.

But Taliyah's expression became firm instead: "Sivir, of course we dare to promise."

"Because this is the truth, the objective law of the development of human society, not our wishful thinking."

"Janna Lord will definitely come true. Just like the historical slavery society replaced the primitive society, and the feudal society replaced the slavery society—"

"The Ziben-dominated society that emerged from the Twin Cities still has some vitality, but it will eventually be completely replaced by the Janna-led Datong society in the future!"

"Impossible!" Sivir retorted.

She believes that the Datong society mentioned by the leaders is simply a fairy tale that is impossible to realize.

"I'd rather believe that the Eagle King Azir cheated the corpse from the grave and let the Shurima Empire rise again, and I don't believe in the Datong society you talked about! Don't say anything else, just one—"

"Distribute according to need, how can this be possible?"

Miss Sivir was clearly deliberate.

She questioned with an example: "Taliyah, you also saw what happened in Belgun a few days ago."

"Those slaves are not satisfied after being liberated, they want revenge; but after revenge, are they satisfied?"

"No! They still want to rush into the streets to rape and plunder, divide up slave owners' wives, and rob their own pockets of more money!"

"People's desires are endless, and if they are distributed according to their needs, how can they be distributed?"

"How high must this 'highly developed' productivity be to satisfy everyone's inexhaustible needs?"

Sivir asked plausibly.

But Taliyah smiled instead.

She wasn't afraid that Sivir had problems, but she was afraid that Sivir didn't think about reading, and really didn't understand anything.

And the question raised by Sivir is actually a common fallacy in beginners' understanding of Janna's master.

So Taliyah answered with ease, "Sivir, you're mistaken."

"The distribution according to needs that our leaders refer to means satisfying people's reasonable needs, not unlimited desires."

This is an important distinction.

Only when the infinite desires of human beings are satisfied can we be considered a Datong society.The Datong society is really just like the pure land of bliss that those religious people talk about, it is a pure fantasy.

Looking at Janna's thoughts with this kind of fantasy, one can only draw a wrong conclusion——

Only when the productive forces are extremely developed and the materials are extremely rich, so rich that people can use almost unlimited resources to satisfy people's desires, can a truly Datong society be realized.

But the reality is that human material resources can never be abundant to the point of infinity.

Therefore, Datong society cannot be realized now, nor will it be realized in the future.The future is also impossible to achieve in the future.

"Vested interests will always have a valid reason to resist change, which will infinitely delay the day when a Datong society will be realized."

"But Miss Sivir. Is the Datong society in the leader's theory really what you misinterpreted? No!"

Distribution according to needs is distribution according to people's reasonable living needs.

Human desires are unlimited, but reasonable needs are limited.

"It's like if you want to eat delicious food, even if you imagine it in the most extravagant place - you want to eat the top sea animal steak produced in Piraeus Port."

"Even if you can eat a ton by yourself, you should still be full, right?"

Since you can eat enough, there is an upper limit to this demand.

Since there is an upper limit to demand, these demands can theoretically be met through the development of productive forces.

For example, this ton of top-quality sea animal steak may be more expensive than a ton of gold now.

But with the development of science and technology, it is entirely possible for humans to invent large-scale sea animal breeding technology in the future, so that everyone can eat sea animal meat casually until they vomit.

"Great Harmony society is to make reasonable distribution according to everyone's needs when the material is abundant enough—do you understand, Sivir?"

"Um..." Sivir was a little confused.

She stopped and thought about it for a long time, but she still felt that something was wrong.

"No, no, no." She wiped her face with her hands before saying, "Not all needs can be met like this, right?"

No matter how much a person can eat, he can only eat a few bowls of rice at a time; no matter how much he can wear, he can only wear a few pieces of clothes at the same time; a car.

It seems that there is a reasonable upper limit to the normal living needs of human beings.

In the society of Datong with great material abundance, people can eat whatever they want, wear whatever they want, live in whatever kind of house they want, and drive whatever kind of car they want.

As long as you don't squander and waste, you don't take too much.These legitimate needs seem to be met.

"What about the woman?" Sivir asked carelessly.

Satisfaction, warmth and lust, sex needs are also the basic needs of human beings.

Thinking of the gender of herself and Taliyah, she changed her words again: "There are men."

"If I want your President Li Wei to be my concubine—not too many, I want him alone, isn't that reasonable?"

"Can the Datong society give me distribution according to my needs?"

Sivir felt as if he had caught the weakness of the leader theory.

Unexpectedly, Taliyah looked at her with a helpless expression: "It seems that you still don't understand, Miss Sivir."

"Treating people as objects, sex as resources, and spouses as your own private property, these are the values ​​of a private ownership society, and it is the most blatant alienation of people by Ziben."

"In the Datong society of public ownership, everyone is a free person with equal social status."

"President Li Wei, if he is willing to be your concubine, no one can stop you; but if he is not willing, no one can force him to do so."

Still expecting the leader to send you a husband/wife?Dreaming!

The life of the husband/wife is also life.Why are people sent around as objects?

As she said that, Taliyah still didn't forget to look at Sivir with helpless eyes, and the terribly dirty blanket on her body——

Miss Sivir is a beauty though.But years of living as a mercenary in the desert had obviously made her blur her gender.

Generally speaking, although Shuriman people rarely bathe due to lack of water, they will clean themselves as much as possible whenever they can.

But Sivir, who had been with a bunch of rough mercenaries for a long time, didn't care about this very much—after all, even if she cleaned herself up, she would soon become sloppy due to high-intensity fighting and training.

So Sivir simply gave up on personal hygiene altogether.

Her leather armor, boots, and blanket were like Zaun's alchemical weapons.Those two stinky socks that were thrown aside could be used directly as alchemy grenades.

Every time Taliyah lived in the same room with her, she had to secretly use magical magic to isolate the space for herself and ventilate the air, so that she could sleep peacefully.

For this reason, she also mentioned to Sivir cryptically that in fact, there is a water elemental mage accompanying them in their investigation team, even if they take a bath in the desert, it is not difficult.

But Sivir boldly told her that desert mercenaries never need to take a bath in their lifetime.

If the "shield" on her skin was wiped clean, she would not be able to ignore the scorching sun and sand of Shurima.

"Miss Sivir." At this point, Taliyah couldn't help reminding: "Even in Datong society, people are not absolutely equal. After all, people are born with beauty and ugliness, and their living habits also have their own acquired characteristics." difference."

"If you've always been so sloppy and don't like to be clean, then even in Datong society, no man will like you."

"If you don't work hard to change yourself and expect the leader to give you a husband, it will definitely not work."

Sivir: "."

While Taliyah and Sivir discuss the Janna theory, and Miss Sivir's personal hygiene issues:
Beyond the long distance that even the most elite desert mercenaries can't perceive, between the bitter night wind and violent sand dust that mortals can't survive on the lonely and open endless sand sea——

There was a figure walking alone in the desert in the dark night.

His figure is extremely tall, burly and not like a human being.

However, this burly figure was completely covered by a dirty coarse cloth robe, making it impossible to see the outline of his body clearly.

His face, too, was hidden under the stretched hood, and his fingers were wrapped in leper-like bandages—as if he had been so terminally ill that he dared not show even an inch of his skin.

But this person is obviously not a terminally ill patient.

Because the desert storm that could blow even the huge Gobi rock to the ground, couldn't even shake his figure.

A heavy weapon wrapped in rags, with the outline of a giant ax vaguely visible, was also carried on his shoulders effortlessly.

And the most frightening thing was that he was able to clearly hear the voice of the distant traveler through the howling wind of the night and an unknown distance.

"Is someone resting there a traveler?" He muttered to himself in a vicissitudes of voice, and let the voice dissipate alone in the thousand-year-old wind of Shurima.

Then, he stopped.

Listening to the conversations of travelers in the desert is his only pleasure now.

Or, it was the only thing he still cared about.

He was not interested in the private stories of these little people, nor did he want to inquire about treasure secrets or current affairs news from the travelers' conversations.

Treasures have long been meaningless to him.

What happened in the world outside the desert, he has long since lost his mind to care about it.

The only thing he cared about was—knowledge.

Yes.

Don't look at his tall horse and carrying a huge axe, he looks like a berserker.

But he is actually a scholar, a great intellectual.

He has the most instinctive interest in all knowledge.

He really wanted to know whether the ancient knowledge had been passed down to the current Shurima people; whether the current Shurima people had created any new knowledge that could make his eyes shine.

And the answer to this question has always disappointed him in the past.

Since the fall of the Shurima Empire, the civilization of this land has completely regressed.

The cultural heritage of Shurima is almost cut off, and the Shurima people have long lost their thirst for knowledge—after all, for the current Shurima people, survival is enough for them to do their best.

For thousands of years, the conversations he heard from travelers always disappointed him and made him sigh.

The Shurima Empire is dead.

Shurima also no longer have the ability to look up at the stars.

Until now
"Datong..society?" He heard the conversation between the two girls.

This is an extremely unfamiliar vocabulary.It is also a knowledge that is extremely unfamiliar to him.

From the beginning, like that little man named Sivir, he thought it was an unrealistic fantasy of religious people.

He was also curious about how the Goddess Janna, who was easily destroyed by them and exterminated their beliefs, would come back with such a ridiculous set of inventions 3000 years later.

listen to listen
His pointed ears pricked up uncontrollably.

His eyes also glowed green in the night.

"This is not fantasy."

"This is knowledge, knowledge that I have never seen before!"

He stopped completely, and looked in the direction of the voice from afar.

He has not been in contact with humans for many years.Seeing Shurima's current appearance, he would only blame himself and regret it even more.

But this time.
"Even if knowledge is far away in Ionia, seek it there."

Nasus muttered to himself, walking towards the biting wind.
