Chapter 121 Hex Suspension Train, let’s move!

Chapter 121 Hex Suspension Train, let’s move!

From the top of the Pirt River to the Valoran Continent's Valoran Mountains, a very special passage is being built. It passes through the middle of the mountains and heads straight to the west.

And today in the Valoran Mountains, it is another sunny day.

Under the scorching sun and hot weather, Sino and a group of Demacians stood together, taking advantage of the break time to avoid the high temperature and ran out of the cave to cool off under the tree.

In theory, the temperature inside the cave should be lower than outside the cave, but the various Hextech devices are working, and the temperature can't be dissipated at all. The temperature in the cave is higher than the outside world, just like a sauna room. Even the strong Demacians find it difficult to work in it for a long time.

At this moment, Sino looked up at the big sun above his head. Because he had been to Shurima for a period of time, Sino, who should be white, actually had yellow and black skin. But if Sino said that even the bad weather in Shurima was not as uncomfortable as this ghost place!

Because although the weather in Shurima is very extreme, it is very cold when it is cold and very hot when it is hot, the time of weather change in Shurima is fixed.

The hot time is only from noon to dusk, but at noon, Sino in Shurima will not choose to go out, but will hide in the house to cool off. The unique craftsmanship of Shurima makes the local houses very effective in summer heat relief.

It can be said that all Shurimans will not choose to go out to work in hot weather, because it is easy to lose more than the gain. This will cause heatstroke due to the high temperature, which requires a lot of water resources. Therefore, unless it is a necessary part of the journey, otherwise, Shurimans will rest at home.

But what about now that we have arrived in the Twin Cities?

Sino thought he was arranged to enjoy his life, but he never expected that

his life now is even harder than when he was in Shurima!

Xino's skin was hurt by the sun, which made him point at the sky and said loudly: "Why is it sunny again! It has been sunny for more than ten days in a row recently. Can't this place have a rainy day?"

"In fact, it will be hotter after rainy weather. I heard from the scientists in Piltover that he called the place we are now a tropical zone. He said that the temperature will rise after rainy days. Compared with dry heat, humid heat will make people feel more uncomfortable. Therefore, they are recently studying something called a cooler and are going to bring that thing to the mine for use. I heard that it will be super cool after using it."

"Cooler? What is that? Is it another magic. Heretic prop?" Xino looked at his deputy and said with some confusion.

The deputy was stunned, then looked at Xino confidently and said: "You ask me? How do I know? I just heard their conversation, how can I know what those things are?"

Xino listened, sighed, then he looked at his deputy, hesitated and said: "By the way, if I ask Covey for fans and coolers now, will they let us use them?"

"Hehe, are you sure? You said in person that Demacians would not use props tainted with magic. If you ask for it now, in the words of Lord Rowan, you are just a boomerang, Xino, this is very embarrassing." The deputy said seriously.

"Then what else should we do? We just have to endure it? But how many days do we have to endure it? It's still a long way from penetrating the mountains!"

After saying this, Sino and his deputy looked at the mountain tunnel they had dug during this period. Originally, the two cities planned to build a railway to Demacia directly on the mountains, but building a railway on the mountains, the terrain is uneven, sometimes this mountain is high, sometimes that mountain is low, and it will be more troublesome to deal with. So, the accompanying Piltover engineer made a new decision, that is, to open up the Valoran Mountains, go through the middle, and reach the plains of the Valoran continent!

This project is very large. Even the powerful and brave Demacians have no confidence that they can quickly open up the mountains and stabilize the nearly 10,000-meter cave passage. However, the people of Piltover dared to do it. Not only did they dare to do it, but the speed at which they did it also surprised Sino and his group of Demacians.

First, there was dynamite, and the rocks were broken with just a bang. Then, there were huge gloves. After wearing them, ordinary people could have the power comparable to Demacia's elite like Sino. It can easily carry gravel, and what's more powerful is that this glove also has a defensive function. It can sense heavy objects coming and activate the defensive function in an emergency. It is a very powerful protective shield.

Originally, the people of the Twin Cities also prepared these mining gloves for Xino and his friends, but Xino and his friends didn't dare to take them.

This is a magic prop no matter how you look at it!

As a Demacian, how could he use a magic prop?

Of course, Demacians would not touch anything that is contaminated with magic!

But now, Xino really boomeranged.

It's really too hot!

If this continues, the people under his command may rebel against him, because when they are huddled in the tent and can't sleep at all in the middle of the night due to the heat, the engineers from Piltover are resting in a comfortable and cool tent. Their tents are equipped with fans and refrigerants, so they can drink delicious cold drinks and feel the cool breeze.

So it's not that Demacians are not tough enough, but when compared like this, the sense of gap explodes, okay? !

Are we here to help with the work? Aren’t we just here to work as cattle and horses as slaves? !

Because of this, Xino decided to make a decision to betray his ancestors!

Under the gaze of the adjutant, Sino resolutely walked towards the Piltover engineer's tent.

————————

And a day later, this matter also reached Rowan's side.

Looking at the message on the Hex transmitter dumbfounded, Rowan looked at Lux, thought for a while and said: "Lux, we should be able to return to Demacia in a short time."

"But we've only been out for a year." Lux was eating sorbet next to Rowan. Of course, the Twin Cities are also very hot in summer, and it can't be compared with Demacia. After all, Demacia is close to the Freljord. , the coldness of the northern polar regions will pass through the mountains and then reach Demacia. Therefore, Demacia's summer will be particularly comfortable.

But fortunately, there is an air conditioner in the current Wan Shi House. Yes, the Hex cooler is actually an air conditioner, but its effect is more powerful than the air conditioner, and it is easier to use.

One Hex Gem can be used for about half a month. When it is used up, just replace it with a new Hex Gem.

And Hex gems are not particularly precious in today's Piltover. Essentially, Hex gems are made from Shurima's ore, mixed with several other ore powders, and then outlined with special patterns. , it is not as mysterious and precious as thought, Victor had already told Rowan about this earlier.

As for the fact that the Hex Crystal is made from the corpses of fellow Scorpions and the souls of the Shell people. Well, Rowan investigated and found that there is no such thing at all!

It can only be said that Riot is eating books again?

In short, Rowan looked at Lux and said with a smile: "Weren't you the one who was crying and reluctant to leave when we came out? Now that we can go back soon, why are you the one who is unhappy?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Lux's eyes. She didn't go out today, so she wore cool clothes, a small shirt on top and shorts on the bottom, and a large golden bun.

The large balls with strong hair volume will bounce as Lacus moves. On the girl's snow-white neck, a pretty face is pink, which looks really cute. Her plump and crystal toes are gently kicked on the sandals, and her long white legs are then crossed, and Lux ​​sits cross-legged on the sofa. He said softly:

"I didn't say I didn't want to go back. But, didn't you say it would take a few years before you could go back?"

"It was indeed expected at the beginning that it would take several years to go back, but now it seems that everyone's acceptance is far beyond my imagination. Xino's group of soldiers have now secretly started to use Hex devices. , In the capital, the nobles also have a Hex player," Rowan said proudly to Lux.

After listening to Rowan's words, Lux blinked her beautiful big eyes, and said with a mouthful of ice cream, "I understand."

It's just that the people of Xiongdu have enjoyed a more convenient and comfortable lifestyle, and then it would be difficult to change it.

This is the truth about how difficult it is to go from luxury to frugality!

When everyone is accustomed to the convenience of life brought by Hex magic props, and the ban on magic is mentioned again, then this group of people will immediately rebel against the camp and decisively become helpers to abolish the ban on magic, because Hex technology is currently under Xiongduli also brought huge benefits to the nobles.

Carve out territory, increase agricultural output, improve craft quality, and more.

Hextech not only changed the Twin Cities, it also changed Demacia.

Seeing the "I understand, you don't need to say anymore" expression on Lux's face, Rowan then looked down and looked at Lux's calves. Then, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the Hex transmitter in his hand. Rowan was preparing to send a message to His Majesty Jarvan III.

Well, by the way, Lacus's legs are really white, and because Lacus has also been trained as a knight before, she is not a delicate and weak woman. Her figure has a very healthy beauty, with plump and round thighs and smooth calves. Slender and with perfect proportions that can make countless women envious of her.

Lux's height is not as high as Kai'Sa's, but if it's only longer than her legs, then Lux won't lose.

Paired with nails that are not painted with nail polish but still reveal a pink color, this is really perfect food.

hungry!

"So have we determined the time to go back?" Lux suddenly asked.

"The day when the train can run should be the day we return to Xiongdu." Rowan said without raising his head.

Lux nodded, pillowed her head on the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling.

To be honest, once she knew that she had not been abandoned by her family, Lux was not so eager to go back. After all, the outside world was more interesting. This world was really bigger than Lux thought. Counting the time in Shurima, it has been almost two years since Lux came out, but she has still been to very few places, but she has seen a lot of interesting things!

Adventures are fun and life in Piltover is great fun!

Return to Xiongdu?

Forget it, as long as Rowan is here, it won't be boring when we go back?

Thinking of this, Lux finished the ice cream in her hand in no time, sat up straight, stepped on the sandals on the floor, and ran upstairs.

A moment later, a Hex Transmitter appeared in her hand, and then she sat down next to Rowan again.

Rowan glanced at her, and Lux ​​smiled at him, "I'll write something to my brother and tell him that I'm going back soon."

Rowan didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand to flick Lux's large meatball.

At the front desk, Kaisa yawned and rolled her eyes.

"Hehe"

During this period of time, if the three little ones have to say that the most obvious change is Kaisa, then of course, Kaisa is not a cold person by nature. In the past, because she had been away from the crowd for too long, she was not used to getting along with humans, and she also thought that she did not belong to the human race, so she slowly used indifference to protect herself.

But now that she has lived in Piltover for so long, Kaisa has naturally appeared "human".

There are many people in Zaun who are less human than her, but aren't they still alive and well?

Therefore, Kaisa now has more of a living breath.

Seeing the little interaction between Rowan and Lux, Kaisa ate potato wedges and wanted to complain, but she didn't know where to start.

As for what Rowan said about returning to Demacia, the phrase "we"... Rowan should have included me, right?

Yes, there must be!

Kaisa chewed potato wedges and thought to herself.

——————

Time in the Twin Cities passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, several months passed. The hot summer was gone, and autumn and winter followed.

Although Zaun still failed to achieve independent autonomy during this period, it officially cooperated with Piltover because of the God Recovery Plan.

The two sides stood on the same platform. It was no longer Piltover that gave alms to Zaun, but the two sister cities finally had an equal status for the first time in more than 300 years.

Zaun has installed air filters in many places because of the recognition of Ekko's invention by Victor. The several-meter-tall fan is placed on the iron glass house. After starting, it can blow away the haze that blocks the eyes and filter out the poisonous fog.

These devices allow Zaun to have good air half of the time every day. Although it cannot be achieved all day, and the source of the poisonous fog, the wastewater, has not been treated, but at least, this is really a good start.

And Janna, the central figure of the Resurrection Plan, has naturally changed a lot. Now Janna's transformed blue bird has become more majestic, and she is not as cute as before.

The image of Janna's blue bird can now be described as beautiful and majestic, and it has become much bigger. It seems that the advertising for the people of the two cities to cooperate with each other is indeed very effective.

Similarly, Rowan, who lives in Piltover, has grown a lot taller during this period. He is now over 1.8 meters tall, which makes Rowan very happy.

He almost thought that he would only be 1.7 meters tall in his life!

Apart from the things in the two cities, there are naturally many things happening in the outside world.

Runeland is constantly producing stories, and the biggest thing that happened during this period, which can be called a major event in Runeland, is naturally the war between Ionia and Noxus, which is coming to an end.

According to reliable sources, a teenage girl in Ionia led the rebels to defeat Noxus. She broke the backbone of the Noxian attack army in one battle and is now driving away the remaining Noxians on the Ionian Islands.

However, the damage caused by the war to the Ionians is also irreversible, not only because of the death of people, but also because Ionia is different from other places. The natural spirits there have now entered a manic state, and many places that were once naturally harmonious have become restricted areas.

But it is obvious that this matter is not Rowan's responsibility, and it is not the turn of the two cities to take care of it.

Even if there was no reliable news, Rowan knew that in 987, Swain would lose to Irelia in Ionia and return to Noxus. Then, in the next few months, it would be time for Swain to regain control of Noxus and change the empire.

At present, the important city-states of Valoran have all ushered in changes. The changes in the two cities are huge. Zaun and Piltover have not reconciled, but because of Janna and Jayce, the two cities can have normal exchanges and communication, and Noxus is about to usher in its own new life.

But the biggest change is naturally in Demacia in the far west.

The dormant lion has awakened, showing its claws, roaring to the sky, and deafening.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the three little ones, accompanied by Zaun and Piltover, came to the top of the Piltover River.

Here, guarded by Piltover's law enforcement officers, there is a huge building that is very dazzling, covering an area of ​​several thousand square meters. When you walk into the building, the first thing you see is the waiting hall. Walking in, you will enter a tunnel going underground. After walking down, you will see a scene that Rowan is very familiar with.

It's a platform.

I saw two rows of huge rails underground, and on one of the rails, there was an extremely huge car that was hundreds of meters long and streamlined from front to back. It was very eye-catching and even more eye-catching. Surprisingly, it did not fall on the rails, but was suspended on the rails!

Rowan really never expected it.

He thought that the most people from the two cities could create was a train, but he didn't expect that the people from the two cities actually created a maglev train!

No, this is too awesome, right? !

Is Hex Technology really omnipotent?

Maglev train!

According to the developer, after adopting the Hex portal patent granted by Jess, the train can reach a top speed of 700km/h!

And today, it’s time for this train to start!

In more than three months, the two cities and the people of Demacia have built their own railway tracks. Although it has not yet achieved two-way traffic, the one-way one has been completed successfully. Of course, it cannot go directly to the capital. But the terminal is also on the outskirts near Xiongdu, and the transfer will stop at Knockmooch.

At this moment, Jace appeared in formal attire, followed by Fander and Silko Victor, as well as Blast and Vi who came to watch the excitement, as well as Heimerdinger and Ike.

On the Piltover side, all the congressmen were here. Mel looked at the train heading to Demacia with a complex look on her face, while Ms. Gila Mann had a rosy face. This noble lady Understand, starting from today, Piltover is officially bound to Demacia.

After Jace appeared, he said something, and then a group of staff wearing hats got on the train.

Rowan, Lux, and Kai'Sa also boarded the train.

So, the staff at the station said: "Start"

Then, the siren sounded.

As a result, another major event in Runeterra was born.

A major event that did not exist in the background story of the alliance, led by Rowan, was enough to change the way people around the world travel, and change the distance between people around the world.

On the train, Rowan looked excited, and beside him were Kasha and Lux ​​who were equally excited.

because

Hex levitating train,

It's really moving!

Demacia Almanac: At 10:20 a.m. on May 4, 1987, the Hex train jointly developed by Zaun in Piltover and Demacia officially launched its departure from the Twin Cities Station above the Peart River. The final destination is Demacia.

You definitely haven’t thought of this direction.

This chapter is close to 6,000 words. I’m going to bed. I’ll come back tomorrow.
