LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

The next day, Zaun.

There are still six days until the deadline given by the leaders.

Because of the cooperation invitation of the Philos family, in the Fulgan Tavern in the underground dark alley, the alchemy barons who ruled all the districts of Zaun rarely gathered together.

Finn, Voss, Wolvertin, Pat Rock, Wincher Spindlaw...

Some of them are Piltover cooperative faction, some are Zaun independent faction, some are against Silko, some support Silko, some are strategic alliances with each other, and some are competitors with each other.

But whatever their positions and relationships, there was a rare display of unprecedented unity at this time.

"Guys, we can no longer sit still."

"In just a few months, the leader has infiltrated every corner of Zaun. If we don't take action, then we will be the next Takeda Saito."

These words resonated deeply with the alchemy barons present.

They've had enough.

Although Leader currently only occupies the territory of the former Takeda Group, its influence has spread to the entire Zaan with an unstoppable trend in the past half a year.

Relying on the protection of the Noxus Empire, Camille dared to blatantly ban the Janna faith across the canal.

But these "poor" alchemy barons were locked up on the side of the canal by a piece of "Zu-No Nonaggression Treaty", and locked up with the tiger who made no secret of wanting to eat them.

Takeda Saito's lesson from the past is not far away, and as the leader of Zaan, Shirko has always had an ambiguous attitude and is as immovable as a mountain.

Alchemy barons who are already in a mess, who dares to be the first bird to prevent the leader's thoughts from penetrating?

then...

Janna's faith ignited the whole of Zaun like a flame, making the poor and weak who could only live in darkness suddenly glow with light and heat.

When the fire started, the alchemy barons were naturally put on the fire and roasted.

"I don't even dare to do slave labor now."

The Countess of Voss, who loves to kill most, sighed deeply.

In the "future", she was able to torture Urgot insanely, but now she dared not even offend ordinary slave laborers. because...

"The leader's propagandist, relying on Li Wei's backing, is blatantly infiltrating into my mine..."

"They've only been here for a few days, and now even these soot miners can control the airflow like a mage."

"It seems that Goddess Janna is really on their side." Voss' face turned extremely ugly.

"Hey." Pat Rock, who ran the alchemy factory, also sighed: "Worth, it's such a time, how dare you use slave labor?"

"I have long been forced by those leaders to have nowhere to go, and I burned all the bondage of the slave laborers."

"Stop talking." Baron Wenche was even more heartbroken: "I was forced to arrange a ten-hour working day, and even doubled the wages of the workers."

The other alchemy barons were not much better.

With the emergence and growth of leaders, they all suddenly "discovered their conscience" and began to actively burn slave bonds, liberate slave labor, and even raise wages and treatment for workers.

Suddenly, Zaun seemed to become a leather city. Everyone has learned how to buy people's hearts.

"Actually, that's fine too..." a baron of alchemy muttered in a low voice.

Because he found that when the labor costs and product prices of his peers were forced to increase, the company's recent sales and profits did not decline as expected.

Because even if the price of Zaan's products goes up, the boss of Picheng still has to buy it.

After all, economic globalization in Runeterra is just a vision of the future. Apart from Zaun, there is almost no second heavy industrial city of this scale in the world.

Many products can only be provided by Zaun, and Picheng can't find a substitute for a while.

If they want to transfer the industrial chain to a place where human life is less valuable and labor is cheaper, they have to invest a huge amount of financial and material resources to support another "Zuan" of the same size in other places.

But how can this be so easy?

Don't say anything else. Limited by the backward shipping technology in today's world, the high transportation cost of bulk commodities alone makes it difficult for Pilt City to get rid of Zaan, which is close by in a short time, and go elsewhere to support the second "Zuan" as a replacement product.

Therefore, although the alchemy barons raised the wages of the workers, they also made more profits from the old hands of Piltover.

Ask Picheng boss to pay more money and pay Zaun workers more wages, which seems to be quite good.

"What's so good!" Countess Voss retorted: "Those poor people dare to ask us for salary and treatment now, and maybe they will ask us for something later!"

"What's more, can't you see it? The leaders don't want us to continue to exist!"

"Do you think they can let you go as long as you raise your salary and treatment? Ridiculous!"

Her words resonated with the alchemy barons.

If it is an entrepreneur in Piltover, who has relatively clean hands, turns to the bright as soon as possible, and actively cooperates with the transformation, then he can still escape liquidation.

And those who voted for Janna earlier, made great contributions and made great contributions, and those who have truly undergone ideological changes and have pious beliefs, such as Erwin, Mel, and Caitlin, will not only not be liquidated , and even hold a high position in the Association of Leaders.

But they are different.

As the alchemy barons of Zaun, they all have blood on their hands. They were very afraid that like Takeda Saito, they would be dragged out by the leader for trial and liquidation, and hanged on street lamps to bask in the sun.

So even the last little voice of compromise quickly disappeared from the mouths of the alchemy barons.

They agreed: "The Leaders Association and we are destined to live forever."

"Now the Guild of Leaders is rampantly provoking Noxus. This is our last chance—we should agree to the invitation of the Philos family to fight side by side with Piltover and Noxus."

The alchemy barons quickly reached a consensus.

Then, everyone tentatively looked at the two sitting on the main seat——

These two are the two most powerful alchemy barons in Zaun today, Renata and Silko.

"Shirko, Renata, what do you think?" The alchemy barons all hoped that they would be the leader.

"I agree." Renata cherished words like gold.

After uttering a word coldly, she closed her eyes and meditated to recuperate.

It seemed that the battle that was almost destined to happen six days later and determine their life and death had nothing to do with her.

Because Renata knew that these alchemy barons were already dead.

And she voluntarily came here to act for the leading man, just because she really couldn't stand the "spiritual treatment" that forced her to accept Janna's ideological education every day in the labor camp.

The leader seemed to be really trying to change her mind.

But it is impossible for a person like her to change.

When Renata heard those positive stories, she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart. In the end, she really had nothing to love, so she asked Li Wei to promise herself that as long as she cooperated with the performance, she would give her a happy life, so she wanted to die with all her heart I came to act in the mood.

And the protagonist of this play is not her, but Shirko.

After she finished her lines, it was Shirko's turn to play.

"Everyone." Silko slowly got up from his seat.

The godfather of the Zaunites, the leader of the Alchemy Baron, asked in his calm yet majestic tone: "You all decide to join the war?"

"Yes." Alchemy barons have already made up their minds.

But Shirko did not directly agree.

The promise was too straightforward, but it didn't look like him.

Silko just looked at the alchemy barons.

His eyes wavered slightly, and he sighed slightly, his expression didn't look like he was acting.

Because among these alchemy barons, although many were his enemies, many were also his friends.

Many of them were close comrades-in-arms who fought against the cruel rule of Piltover with him and Vander.

Finally, Silko looked at these former comrades-in-arms, warriors who once fought for Zaun:

"In order to deal with the leaders, you can even cooperate with the Philos family who killed countless of our brothers, and you can be willing to become a vassal of Piltover—"

"Everyone, can I understand this?"
