LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Swain chatted with the snack bar owner on many issues and learned more about the leader.

He discovered that the Windbringer was actually similar to Noxus in some ways.

Like, fairness.

Yes, Noxus is fair too - only to the Transcendents.

Noxus always respects the strong and always admires strength. Every capable person here will not be buried and will not be dragged down by his original background, race, blood and class.

As long as a person is strong, he can prosper in Noxus. Compared to other places in Runeterra, such as the demon-forbidden Demacia, this is really fair.

But the leader is far stronger than Noxus in this regard.

Leaders not only create fairness for the strong, but also bring fairness to good people.

This is what sets the leader apart the most.

In other countries and other social environments, being a good person is often seen as a fool's errand.

Because the reality is that people with gold belts are killed and set on fire, and bridges and roads are built without corpses. Doing good deeds is often not rewarded, but often makes you suffer because of the ugliness of human nature.

So being a good person has become a stupid thing, and being an honest person has become a derogatory term. A hero who sacrifices himself for others can only be belittled and ridiculed by "smart people", while a greedy and shameless traitor can be admired by everyone.

This is the custom among the people, and it is even more so in the imperial court. If you don't be greedy and don't make money, you won't get any rewards, you will only be ignored and ostracized by interest groups. If you work hard and work hard, you won't get promoted. Only by learning to make friends and clinging to the powerful can you rise to the top.

Over time, Noxus naturally deteriorated.

But the leader is different.

Goddess Janna has created a positive and positive environment for good people, where being a good person will definitely be recognized, and doing good deeds will definitely be rewarded. It is absolutely fair and just and positive.

When society no longer hits idealists hard, but responds with a warm embrace——

Naturally, there will be more and more idealists, and more and more "saints" who seem to only exist in the main theme of the story will truly appear in this world.

"Noxus... is in danger." Swain suddenly shuddered.

What the empire is about to face is a true god, a group of living saints, and an immortal great idea that can create countless saints.

What should he do?

Should we follow the trend of the times and give up saving the empire, or should we go against the trend of history in order to save the empire?

The problem is back.

Swain was confused.

"Do you have any more questions?" The snack bar owner had been engaged in conversation earlier, but now that he was bowing his head in deep thought again, he started talking enthusiastically.

Swain glanced up.

He didn't feel that the talkative but limited-edition snack bar owner could understand his situation and answer his questions.

But amid the tangle, Swain was still a little curious about what advice this ordinary person could give him.

So he asked carefully: "Boss, let me ask you a question——"

"If, I mean if, if Levi and Victor are all Piltover people, the Wind Leader Association was originally an association of Piltover people."

"Then when the Wind Leader Association rules Zaun and declares that Zaun will be merged into Leather City, the people of Zaun will become Leather City people, and the name 'Zuan' will become history forever..."

"Will you still support the leader like this?"

"This..." This really stumped the snack bar owner.

He froze there for a long time, unable to say a word.

Because the gap between Zaun and Piltover is too big, and the hatred is too deep. Almost every Zaunite has experienced the painful experience of being discriminated against, ostracized, and even beaten and abused by the people in the upper city.

This kind of hatred that has lasted for hundreds of years cannot be resolved overnight.

If the Windleader Association was an association of Piltover people, then the Zaun people would definitely reject it subconsciously.

If a Wind Leader Association composed entirely of Piltover people invaded Zaun, then the Zaun people would definitely have reason to doubt - could it be that Piltover changed his skin and came to invade them again?

"This..." The snack bar owner had never imagined this situation before.

When asked by Swain, he was really confused.

However, after struggling, the snack bar owner's eyes were firm again: "If those 'Leaders of Piltover' are really leaders, then they will not treat Piltover and Zaun people differently."

"And if everyone can be treated equally, then there will naturally be no difference between Zaun and Piltover people."

"What's more... I used to be just a poor Zaun hawker. If the 'Leader of Piltover' can really bring me a better life, then why should I reject it? So even in that case, I Will support those who lead the way.”

"Well..." Swain nodded slowly.

The snack bar owner's words were somewhat enlightening to him, but they didn't mean much.

Because Swain suddenly realized that the identity and experience gap between the snack bar owner and his was too big, and the other person's feelings may not be of reference to him.

The snack bar owner suffered a lot in Zaun in the past, and his love for Zaun is of course limited.

"What about me?" Swain suddenly thought of this question.

Why does he love Noxus? Why do Noxians love Noxus?

Swain thought seriously:

Of course, the serfs of Noxus did not love the Empire, because they were just slaves, property and objects, not even people. It's natural not to love Noxus.

The common people of Noxus, even the poorest, love Noxus. Moreover, they are the ones who need to love Noxus the most.

Because unlike rich people, civilians can escape from Noxus at any time, and then continue to live freely abroad.

So their fate was passively tied to Noxus.

With the rise of Noxus, they can get some scraps from the bigger pie - just like the people of Piltover who are living a good life.

And once Noxus declines, they will immediately become the first victims of the empire's decline - just like the residents of Trevel, who are close to the front lines of the war and have been tortured by the forage raids.

Therefore, these lower-class civilians in Noxus have become the ones who love the Empire most and who need to love the Empire the most.

Above these civilians, the wealthy people who have a good life in Noxus do not need to love Noxus too much.

Because even if the empire weakens, they can physically transfer out with their wealth at any time.

No matter whether they go to Piltover, Shurima, or any other country in Runeterra, they are still rich and can continue to maintain their original comfortable life.

And above these rich people, those nobles and nobles, their fiefdoms and titles came from the empire. When the empire is over, their family fortunes will be over.

Theoretically, the nobles are most closely bound to Noxus' interests and should love Noxus the most.

But in fact, many nobles are doing dirty things that are constantly eroding the empire for their own selfish desires. There is no empire in their eyes, only themselves.

Only a few nobles, especially the new military nobles, truly love Noxus and are truly working for the interests of the empire.

Swain is a special case among these special cases.

He doesn't even have any selfish desires at all.

Yes, he has no selfish desires, does not covet the title and land of the empire, and is not like the common people who have no choice but to bind their fate to the empire...

So why does he love Noxus?

"I love Noxus just because... it is Noxus." Swain recognized himself.

His love for Noxus was without reason, like a wanderer's love for his hometown, a child's love for his mother.

He loves the sky and the earth, the rivers and hills of Noxus, and the music, art, history and literature of Noxus.

He loved every syllable and word of the Noxian language, and every poem and story written by those words.

"I can't let it go away!"

"I want to make Noxus great again, let it rise again!"

Swain secretly clenched his fists, as if he had strengthened his confidence.

But at this moment, the snack bar owner seemed to suddenly think of something: "Wait, the time is up."

"When is the time up?" Swain looked over.

"'Table Talk' time." The snack bar owner looked at his watch: "That's President Levi's radio speech program."

As radio became more popular, leaders had a more advanced means of publicity.

Levi not only established the "Zuan Radio Station" and "Zuan Voice" as internal and external publicity mouthpieces, but he also often went out in person to convey his political ideas directly to the people of Zuan through radio.

Because he always gave radio talks at noon, and the Zaun people were accustomed to listening to his speeches while eating at the dinner table, his radio talks were affectionately called "Table Talk" by the Zaun people.

"Levi's speech?" Siwei was also curious.

He waited quietly, and then, melodious music sounded on the radio.

Then a sweet female voice came out.

That was the voice of Miss Seraphine, the star female anchor of Radio Zaun.

However, this time she is not the protagonist of the program, but only plays the role of announcer: "Ladies, gentlemen, comrades, good afternoon everyone. Welcome to Radio Zaun."

"Next, our respected President Levi will share with you his latest article——"

""We should let Zaun 'disappear'"
