Chapter 2275: Alliance Under Oppression

Lin Jiu felt the breeze from afar, and stretched out his hand as if to hold the breeze. He felt a different breath from the wind, and secretly said: "That god has awakened, so she is also from Shurima."

At this time, the former port cities of ancient Shurima, now Zaun and Pilwater. This is the northernmost part of Shurima and the largest port city in the past. To the southwest is the vast Shurima, to the southeast is Ixtal; to the north is Noxus, and to the east of the bay is Bilgewater Island.

Before the Sun Gate was developed, the Twin Cities were the place with the most sailors and sea trade on Runeland. It is for this reason that people have prayed to the wind since ancient times. Among them are sailors who hope for good weather, and oppressed people who pray for change. In short, many mortals put their hopes in the fierce wind turbulence that roars through the Rune Land.

Sometimes the wind seemed to respond to them. They would see a sky-blue bird appear, followed by a strong wind that filled the sails. As these magical omens spread from mouth to mouth, the blue bird appeared more and more frequently.

Until they saw the bird turned into a girl. She had long pointed ears and long flowing hair. It was said that this mysterious saint floated on the water, and with a slight wave of her staff, she could guide the direction of the wind.

The devout called this wind elf Jan-Arem, which means "guardian" in ancient Shurima, because she always seemed to appear in the most dangerous moments. As time passed, her name was simplified to Janna.

This is the evolution process of these gods of faith on Rune Continent. The original sky-blue bird was the natural spirit symbolizing "wind". As the number of devout believers increased, the godhood gradually gathered, condensed into the source of God, and became the legendary storm god.

Janna's name spread all over the coast of Shurima, and the residents of Oshravazun were the most enthusiastic believers. They relied on the calm sea to bring trade ships to the city's port. To thank Janna for her kindness, they erected statues and shrines. Even after the Shurima Empire annexed the city, this expression of faith continued.

Lin Jiu was not wrong. Janna, the former storm god, could actually be considered a Shurima god. But it was not accepted. The ancient Shurima Empire only believed in the sun and the ascended gods. So, a Shurima emperor issued a decree prohibiting the worship of "false idols", and Janna's statues were toppled one after another.

However, even though more and more people began to worship the ascended god warriors, there were still many people who secretly prayed to Janna. After all, could the god warriors protect the ships from storms? These people often wore amulets with blue bird patterns, which were smaller and more hidden symbols, paying tribute to Janna.

Janna, the god of storms, has been sleeping for many years. After the ancient Shurima emperor banned the belief in storms, the public belief in Janna dropped significantly. Even if some people secretly believe in Janna, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Of course, this is not the most serious problem. Janna, who is strong enough in nature, is not fragile as a natural spirit. What made her sleep for many years was the crisis of Zaun's sinking, and the people of Zaun called for Janna's protection.

Although these mortals only remembered her when they were in great trouble, Janna did not hesitate to lend a helping hand. A hurricane swept the city and she turned into a physical body. The unimaginable air wall blocked the surging torrent and allowed people to escape from their flooded homes. The fierce wind broke through the smoke from the fire.

After this move, Janna never appeared again and fell into a deep sleep. Lin Jiu believed that something else must have happened. Otherwise, even if it took a lot of power to save the disaster, it would not cause a god to be seriously injured.

Lin Jiu learned a lot about the Twin Cities from Victor. After all, there were several of his former comrades in that place, and he was a nostalgic person, so he would naturally inquire about it.

How should I describe the current situation of the Twin Cities? It is very special. They are in cooperation but have some contradictions, but they have to suppress the contradictions and cooperate. The reason is that Viktor and his Glorious Cult acted as the "Akatsuki Organization" of the Twin Cities, and regarded themselves as villains, forcing Zaun and Piltover to cooperate and fight.

In other words, Viktor first launched a war in the Twin Cities, so that Zaun and Piltover could only form an alliance to fight the enemy. After Viktor led the Glorious Cult to Bilgewater, the class contradictions between Zaun and Piltover were revealed. The Glorious Cult always maintained a covetous attitude towards their two cities, making it impossible for them to have a civil war.

According to Viktor, Wei, Jinx and others who participated in the Shadow Corrosion War were already able to stand on their own, and Zaun even produced a lot of talents, including a boy named Ekko. Viktor regretted that he could not win him over to join the Glorious Cult. It can be heard that Viktor admires Ekko's talent.

Due to external pressure, Piltover was forced to relax many treaties with Zaun. As more and more people from Zaun went out to sea, the belief in Janna was constantly mentioned, gradually awakening this god.

The coronation ceremony of the Solar Empire was not complicated. After Sivir held a sacrificial ceremony in the Temple of the Sun, she came to the throne of the palace and sat down. Lin Jiu stepped forward to put the crown on the empress, and then Sivir announced the establishment of the Solar Empire and explained that the political system was over.

If Sivir and Nasus were to discuss the political system by themselves, it would not be possible to figure it out in a short time. Seeing that Nasus and Sivir began to refer to the systems of the existing kingdoms in Rune Continent, mainly Demacia and Noxus, Lin Jiu directly threw the information about the system of the feudal dynasties in the real world to them. The central government used an official system similar to the three provinces and six ministries.

However, there are not many officials in the Solar Empire now, and they are mainly the first tribal leaders who appeared outside of Nerimaj. Sivir could not give them high positions right away, after all, they are not patron saints and great scholars like Nasus.

The coronation ceremony was open to the public. After all, the establishment of the Solar Empire was to inform the entire Rune Continent that Shurima would rise again. What Lin Jiu did not realize was that among the spies of various forces watching the ceremony, there was an acquaintance of his own.

This spy was different from other colleagues who subconsciously wanted to hide themselves. She stood in the crowd and watched the ceremony. Her posture was upright and her body was elegant, as if every inch of her muscles had been carefully carved, showing the perfect combination of strength and beauty.

Her smooth silver short hair, like the sparkling sea under the moonlight, not only shows her competence and decisiveness, but also adds a bit of mystery and nobility to her, showing her aristocratic temperament. People who don't know her identity can't imagine that such a person can be a powerful spy.

Camille's face is delicate and deep, with clear lines of facial features, as if it is a work of art outlined with the most delicate brushstrokes. The eyes that should have been deep and shrewd saw that it was indeed the person he knew who walked in front of the empress of the Sun Empire and put the crown on her, and he was also stunned.

"Son of the Sun, is it really you?"
