Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2256 World Structure
Normally, when Shurima was still at its peak, there was no need to take these people seriously. When the Shurima Empire was still there, even in its most decadent period, it was not something that the nobles of Noxus and the Twin Cities could challenge.

But now that the empire has collapsed, Lin Jiu and his men want to rebuild an empire in Shurima, which is not what Noxus and the forces once dominated by Shurima want to see.

Lin Jiu had many acquaintances in Shuangcheng, and he hoped that the person sent by Shuangcheng would be an acquaintance so that he could find out about Victor. Lin Jiu felt that it was very likely that an acquaintance would come, but he didn't know how far the acquaintance had progressed in his technological transformation.

That's right, he was referring to the Steel Shadow Camille. When he first entered Runeterra, Camille had already undergone Hextech transformation, but she hadn't undergone a large-scale transformation of her entire body. Overall, she still looked like a human, and there was still a long way to go before she could reach her full form.

Shurima is going to rebuild a unified government, so the Twin Cities will definitely send their best agents to investigate the situation. Camille is the best choice, as she is almost the ruler hidden in the dark of Piltover.

Even in the famous Blue Smoked Manor in Piltover, the Filos family is one of the richest families. Piltover is a city ruled by nobles. As expected, Camille has taken over the family power after Lin Jiu left last time.

But she is still the best spy. In the powerful families of Piltover, the chief spies of each family are selected from the younger generation. They are the sword and shield of the family. Once selected, they must serve the interests of the family wholeheartedly and work with the head of the family to maintain the long-term prosperity of the family at any cost.

Normally, a spy can no longer serve as the head of the family, but Camille now lets her favorite great-niece serve as the head of the family, and she gives instructions behind the scenes on how to handle public affairs.

She was still secretly helping the family solve problems, so in the face of the changes in Shurima, she would definitely come. After all, this involved the lifeblood of their Ferros family, the Primordial Crystal.

Much of the Ferros family's wealth comes from a rare crystal that came from a creature in a distant canyon. This crystal is the original Hex Crystal, also known as the "Primordial Crystal", and is said to only exist in creatures that are born with magic.

Camille's great-great-aunt Elicia lost an arm and nearly her life during the expedition. Her sacrifice was remembered by later generations and became a kind of foreshadowing, probably the mentality of "for my family, I am willing to sacrifice."

The creatures that Elicia Ferros found, the Shellmen, were not an inexhaustible resource, so Camille's family had to find a way to multiply the crystals they had found. The Ferros family made some secret investments in rune alchemy and chemical technology, and eventually made synthetic hex crystals that were less powerful but could be mass-produced.

Even so, the Filos family would not give up their power in Shurima. It was because these people did not know what the rebirth of Shurima meant. Otherwise, if they knew the significance of the sun disc rising again, they would know that Shurima's affairs were not theirs to interfere with.

Even if Lin Jiu hadn't come here to try to establish the Sun Empire, they couldn't stop Azir from restoring his country. Even though the sun disk was broken, it was still not something that could be destroyed by mortal forces.

For example, when facing Noxus, a country that both cities are very wary of and is expanding its military power, even if the Ascended army of Shurima no longer exists, Azir, who is a one-man army, can keep Noxus out of Shurima.

Runeterra may seem to have a complex and diverse power system, but in fact it can be attributed to a world of swords and magic. Swords refer to knights and warriors, while magic includes arcane magic like Xerath, elemental magic like Taliyah, and so on.

If we exclude high-end combatants like demigods and protoss, this world is divided into several classes, such as the magician class, which accounts for a minority of the total population, but has a very high social status and is not valued by some countries. They are born with or have acquired the ability to control magic, which is divided into different categories, such as elemental magic, healing magic, space magic, etc.

The warrior class, which accounts for a certain proportion of the total population, is the main fighting force of the kingdom. They are good at using various sword weapons, as well as shields and armor to fight. Swordsmen usually come from noble families or undergo strict military training. Some also have magical abilities and become rare "magic swordsmen". Yasuo, who controls the wind blade, belongs to the "magic swordsman".

Farmers and herdsmen constituted the majority of the population. They were responsible for cultivating the land, raising livestock, and providing food and meat for the entire society. Farmers usually lived in rural areas or small towns, leading a self-sufficient life, and were sometimes exploited and oppressed by nobles.

There is also a slave class, and in some countries slavery still exists. Slaves usually come from defeated tribes, captured enemies or poor families, and they are forced to do various labors, such as mining and construction.

In terms of social structure, the upper class is dominated by the royal family and the nobility. In the kingdom, the royal family holds the dominant power, while in an "autonomous region" like Piltover, the nobility jointly rule.

At the same time, there are many religions and belief systems in the world of Rune Continent. People usually worship a certain god or mysterious power and seek their protection and guidance.

There is basically a demigod behind every corresponding religion. This is not so absolute, because Victor's Glorious Church does not have such a god behind it. Of course, in the Glorious Church, Victor, the leader who advocates mechanical ascension, is the "god".

This is why Victor's upper limit is far higher than other heroes in Twin Cities. Victor is on the road to becoming a demigod when he pursues Mechanical Ascension, Glorious Evolution, and founded the Glorious Church under Lin Jiu's suggestion.

Unfortunately, the first demigods on Runeterra were all natural spirits, and after combining the beliefs of intelligent life in their own natural things, they became gods. Victor was originally a sickly human, and his starting point was not as high as that of natural spirits, but in terms of the path of believing in God, strength is still linked to faith, so Victor's upper limit is not lower than that of other demigods.

The disadvantage of believing in God is that if the belief is strong, the person will be strong, and if the belief is weak, the person will be weak. The advantage is also obvious, that is, as long as the belief exists and the origin of the person is not lost, the person will continue to exist.

The Glorious Church has developed quite well in Runeterra. Unlike other churches that believe in gods that rarely perform miracles, Victor, the leader of the Glorious Church, has been constantly performing "glorious evolution" for people who cannot be cured by ordinary medicine. Those who are cured by Victor will naturally join the Glorious Church, so the Glorious Church has been growing stronger.

Just because ordinary medicine cannot cure the disease does not mean magic cannot help, but the main group that Victor treats cannot afford magicians. In a sense, Victor and the Glorious Church are developing from the perspective of the general public, so they have an unstoppable development trend.
