Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

After a long stretch, Lux put down a newspaper in her hand.

"This story seems familiar." She held the hilt of the sword in her hand and complained to Kalya. "Although it is set in the Shurima era, this story of liberating slaves and fighting against slave owners always makes me... I felt a sense of déjà vu, especially in this section where 'the sun shines on the gravel together with the light in her hands', ugh - I got goosebumps."

"It sounds like the truth." Kalya teased, "Unfortunately, I can only hear from your tone that you seem to prefer that he can share half of the royalties with you."

"Ah, am I so obvious?" Lux blinked, "But to be honest, Kalya, when it comes to telling stories, this guy named Night Owl is much better at telling stories than you."

"Really?" Kalya opened up the old accounts without hesitation, "Let me think about it, who was it? If you don't let me tell another story about Setaka, you won't sleep well..."

"Shut up!" Lux was suddenly mentioned about her childhood. Even if no one heard it, Lux could not help but blush. "You never know why your students don't do anything." Do you like you? - Kalya, has anyone ever told you not to tell other people’s childhood stories casually?”

"Is there anything else to say?" Kalya decisively changed the topic, "Speaking of which, how are you preparing for tomorrow's ceremony?"

"Mr. Shadow's farewell ceremony?" Lux said a little surprised, "Are you actually worried about this?"

"This is not a worry, but a necessary reminder." Kalya explained, "Be nervous, Lux, this is your first diplomatic work!"

"It's not the first time." Lux shook her head after hearing this. "The first time should be the meeting between me and Ms. Camille three years ago."

"That kind of physical exchange is not diplomacy, and you have not reached any consensus." Kalya sighed, "The stalemate between Zaun and Piltover has continued since then until now."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Lux shrugged, leaned back, and lay down on the bed. "And, judging from the results, I'm afraid they should be the ones suffering."

"So, what about tomorrow's ceremony?" Kalya returned to the original topic, "Although it has been confirmed that Singed will be handed over to Mr. Shadow as a war criminal and given to Ionia, you should know that Ionia Nia is not a place where Shadow Stream has the final say.”

"But what does it matter?" Lux, who was lying on the bed, adjusted a comfortable position. "No matter who the Ionian leader is in the future, they must accept my love - Zaun is in Io Nea made an indelible contribution to the cause of resisting Noxus."

"This is a good argument." Kalya praised, "However, compared to the gratitude of the Ionians, we need something more practical."

"You mean Ionia's trade?" Lux raised her eyebrows after hearing what Kalya said, "But we have already calculated that it is impossible to open a separate port in Zaun, and it is impossible to open a port in Piltover As long as the blockade remains, although Ionia’s products are rich, it will be difficult to have direct contact with us.”

"So what if Piltover is no longer in lockdown?"

"Are you a little too anxious?" After listening to Kalya's words, Lux finally straightened her posture, "Zuan has not yet truly suppressed Piltover, and wants to normalize relations with Piltover. Even taking back the Gate of the Sun, I’m afraid now is not the time.”

"That is the long-term goal." Kalya corrected, "Although Zaun has achieved good results in the past three years, it is still early for the Sun Gate - now is a good time to break the barriers between the two sides."

"That Gray Lady doesn't seem like a person who is easy to talk to." Lux said with a somewhat uncertain tone, "She has her own ideas, and she doesn't have the superficial hypocrisy of Piltover at all. She speaks the truth."

"But she has no choice now." Kalya said in a pleasant tone, "She has indeed brought a lot of new things to Piltover in the past three years, and the Hex Technology she supports has indeed injected a lot of energy into Piltover. It’s a new trend for stocks, but we know very well that in the final analysis, she did it by giving up part of Sun Gate’s profits.”

"Yes, the income from the Sun Gate." As if thinking of the changes in Piltover in the past three years, Lux couldn't help but nodded, "Use the income from the Sun Gate to stimulate the market, and add Ai The maritime boom brought about by the Euronian War...wait, that means Piltover’s good times are now coming to an end?”

"Yes, that's what it means." Kalya affirmed, "Although it is estimated that it will still be some time before the Noxians fully retreat, after the Battle of Presidenium, it is already a matter of time for the Noxians to retreat. , this Gray Lady may need to think carefully about the future of Piltover."

"So, she is now eager to normalize the relationship with Zaun?" Lux understood what Kalya meant. "Only in this way can Piltover's economic stability be maintained."

"That's right."

"But, why do we want to help her?" Lux was a little confused, "Speaking of which...if Piltover ushered in a wave of depression, wouldn't that be what we want to see more? At that time, the people in Piltover It is very likely that the people of Zaun will choose to return to Zaun, wouldn’t that be more beneficial to Zaun?”

"Yes, that's the case." To Lux's expectation, Kalya confirmed her statement, "When I said be prepared for diplomacy, I didn't mean to ask you to visit Piltover - I meant, You must be prepared for a visit from the Gray Lady."

"Wait a minute, you mean, Camille will take the initiative to come to me?" Lux blinked in surprise, "How is this possible... I thought you said before that you wanted me to take the initiative to find her."

"How is it impossible?" Kalya asked rhetorically, "The Ionian War is about to end. If I were Camille, I would definitely consider whether I can find a new economic growth point for Piltover - now , you take on her role and think about it, is it the best choice to resolve the conflict with Zu An at this time?"

Lux blinked, and then according to Kalya, she assumed the role of Camille.

After the war stops, Sungate's income will drop sharply.

Although Hex Technology has made breakthroughs, the price of raw materials remains high - the magic crystals of Piltover were originally purchased from Zaun at extremely low prices, and the last time Lux and Camille were "friendly" After the "Exchange", trade between the two sides was completely severed, and Piltover needed to purchase crystal ore from Bergun at a high price.

Considering that Bergun is currently the territory of Noxus, the price of crystal mines there may rise at any time...

At this time, if you want to maintain Piltover's economy, I am afraid that resuming trade exchanges with Zaun is indeed the best way!

Blinking her eyes, Lux was surprised to find that with the style of the Gray Lady, it was really possible for her to suddenly visit her during this time!

"Karya, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Thinking of this, Lux hurriedly put on her clothes, "Ahhhhh, I need to prepare a basic draft for discussion with Camille immediately... Since she is willing to take the initiative to join in If she gets ripped off, I will definitely give her a hard blow——"

"Because you were reading a novel before." Karya's tone became more and more cheerful, "Didn't you say that he writes better than I speak?"

"..."

This time, Lux finally said nothing more.

However, the little girl who was forced to work overtime had already scolded her petty teacher countless times in her heart.

(*￣3￣)

"Karya, you are so old, can't you be a little more open-minded?!"

Just like that, the time came to eleven o'clock. Ino, who returned from patrol, was surprised to find that Lux, who had originally vowed to "go to bed early today", was burning the midnight oil and writing hard.

This seventeen-year-old girl is bearing the burden of overtime work that she should not bear at her age.

There will be an extra update tonight!

The three-year period has come,√
