Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 68: Rhythm
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Piltover Council sent someone to send the negotiation paper to Black Alley, but there are too many things to deal with in Black Alley, so under Ke Wen's instruction, Wei and Van der delayed the negotiation time again and again .
In the past half month, changes have taken place everywhere in the entire Dicheng.
Vander is very busy.
Since the victory of the war, he has spent three days just distributing the spoils.
Then came to appease the restlessness of the people.
It took him another week to suppress the crowd who wanted to go to Picheng to smash and loot.
Vander's work is not over yet.
The blockade of the bridge was lifted, and the war was won, so all the store managers in the dark alley wanted to take the opportunity to open up business routes.
You can't let your life stay the same as before, can you?
Isn't the war in vain?
Therefore, many shopkeepers came to Van der's side, and asked Van der, the boss of the underworld, to help them find new ways to make money.
Being under the influence of public opinion, Fandre had no choice but to discuss with those smugglers from other places in the black market.
Taking advantage of the fact that Piltover did not dare to offend Zaun for the time being, Vander proposed to the smugglers to increase their smuggling efforts.
He said that Black Lane will protect the safety of smuggling. If the goods will be seized by Picheng, then Black Lane will help to ask Piltover for them. Even if war is triggered again, he will ensure that the interests of smugglers damaged.
After negotiating for a long time, Van der finally gained the trust of those smugglers.
In this way, more than half a month has passed by the time Van der stabilized the black alley again.
In addition to him, no one else is idle.
Vi and Jinx are also very busy.
They became the heroes of Zaun, not only to accept the worship of the people in the dark alleys, but also to make false claims with the middle-level alchemy barons.
Of course, there are also people from the upper market who came to visit.
This made Vi and Jinx waste a lot of time socializing.
They wanted to quit.
However, Kewen issued a mandatory order. He said that war is not a child's play. Since it is decided to launch a war, the handling of the funeral must also keep up.
So Ke Wen forced Vi and Jinx to face those complicated and annoying social relationships, making the two little girls complain at home every night.
Their troubles don't stop there.
In addition to socializing, Vi and Jinx will also use this victory to strengthen the gang.
After the war, a large number of Zaun people wanted to join the Jade Bird Gang, and the two little girls had to inspect and screen the people.
Fortunately, there are old members of the Jade Bird Gang to help, otherwise Wei and Jinx would not be busy at all.
In addition to gang affairs, Vi and Jinx are also responsible for helping Janna to preach.
By now, Janna's godly name is known throughout Zaun.
But most Zaunites know only blind prayer.
They just say 'Bless Janna' and make some selfish requests to Janna.
Of course not!
Therefore, Vi and Jinx dedicated their last time again.
They took a few old members of the Blue Bird Gang to preach and preach, explaining the true teachings to all Zaun people.
Until the negotiations with Piltover were about to start, Vi and Jinx still couldn't escape from their busy work.
It is estimated that such a hard life will continue for a long time.
So the two little girls complained and complained at home every day. They used various methods to pretend to be pitiful, hoping that Ke Wen would let them go.
But they were disappointed, and Ke Wen still insisted on his own opinion, and did not let them go or help reduce the workload.
No way, Wei and Jinx can only bite the bullet and continue their work.
Fortunately, the negotiation day is approaching, so they can get a few days of respite.
…
In the past half a month, other places in Zaun also had some changes secretly.
Shirko's doing it!
After the war was won, Silko finally saw the real hope of Zaun's rise!
He has never been so close to the future!
For that future, Silko dares to do anything!
So he didn't participate in the celebration of Zaan, but took advantage of the chaos in Zaan and led people to attack the alchemy barons in the middle square!
Silk knows it all too well! What can really determine the direction of Zaun are the dark alleys at the bottom and the square at the middle.
The frontier bazaar on the upper level is more like a poor kiln in Piltover.
The Zaun people there can enjoy sunshine and breathe relatively clean air.
Besides the problem of water sources, the living environment of the border market is more like a backward area, which is completely different from the interior of the Rift Valley.
Therefore, the Zaun people in the border market seldom care about the affairs inside the Rift Valley. In contrast, there are no large forces in the border market, they are just gangs composed of a few punks.
Compared to the black alley and the middle square, the people of Zaun in the border market have little right to speak. They cannot participate, or do not want to participate in major events about Zaun.
The people of Zaun in the border market basically have a muddling attitude.
So, if you want to truly determine the future direction of Zaun, then those who can make decisions must be the Big Three in the dark alley and the middle-level Alchemy Baron Alliance.
But compared to those alchemy barons in the middle square, the Big Three in the black alley are too benevolent!
Even though Van der has changed, he still has the idea of compromise.
Silko thinks that Van der is unlikely to achieve great things and can only be a prestige mascot.
But Wei and Jinx are quite capable.
But the two girls are still too immature.
Their strength can suppress everything, but if they play some tricks, I'm afraid Wei and Jinx are not the opponents of those alchemy barons at all.
Silk observed for a few days.
He found that Kewen had no intention of intervening at all, and he rarely showed up after the victory of the war, and showing up made himself look like a little transparent.
After discovering this, Silko knew he had to help.
He must help Black Lane to get rid of those alchemy barons who are holding back! We can't let those **** steal the fruits of victory in the war, we can't let those **** turn back the wheel of history, and let the flame of hope that finally appeared in Zaun be extinguished!
Therefore, Silko made a move quietly!
He hit a blitz!
With his thugs, Silko let them drink the shimmer potion, and killed those alchemy barons in one night!
】
Of course, Silko did not act impulsively.
The ones he chose to kill were all the alchemy barons born and bred in Zaun, those trash who only know how to mess around in their nests.
However, those alchemy barons who were backed by Piltover did not move.
It's not that Silko is worried about triggering another war, but that he does what he says.
Since it is said that the future of Zaun is to be decided by Vi and Jinx, it is natural for Vi and Jinx to decide whether to trigger a war.
So Silko kept the alchemy barons who were backed by Piltover and didn't kill them, and planned to ask Wei and Jinx for their opinions later.
In this way, Silko killed nearly half of the alchemy barons.
The rest of the time was used by him to take over those factories and deal with some matters to keep the factories open.
At the same time, he also completely stepped on the bright side, and temporarily confronted those alchemy barons who were not killed by him.
Everything will wait until Zaun is completely stabilized. Now he only needs to help Vi and Jinx stabilize the property of those factories.
…
The time has finally come to the day of the negotiations between the two cities.
The two sides of the bridge were once again blocked by both sides, and the poor were driven to the periphery.
The negotiation site is the center of the bridge, but the time is strangely at night.
The Zaun side is led by Vander, Vi, and Jinx.
Following them were ten heavily armed Heixiang people, and they came to the center of the bridge together.
As for Piltover, Senator Myrdalda took the lead. Behind her was Grayson, who was re-appointed as the director. Behind them were also ten fully armed law enforcement officers.
The two sides met in the middle of the bridge, and the Piltover side had already set up the negotiating chairs.
"Meet you for the first time, the leaders of Zaun."
Midarda subconsciously used words.
Seeing that Zaun's party failed to cause internal conflicts over who was the leader, she greeted with a smile: "I am Mel Myrdalda, one of the councilors of Pierwater. Please take a seat, Hope we can have a smooth negotiation tonight."
"People look like dogs..."
Jinx doesn't care about the occasion or the words.
She tilted her head and looked at Midarda and said: "You are a bit special, there seems to be something about you..."
Midarda just smiled gently, and stretched out her hand again as an invitation to sit down.
But there is only one seat opposite her.
Fandre noticed this, he raised his eyes and looked at Grayson, then took half a step back with a smile.
"Wei."
He reminded softly: "Go."
Wei froze for a moment.
She looked back at Fandel, and after a while, she stepped forward under Fandel's encouraging smile.
"Can you do it?"
Jinx stood on the spot and reminded mockingly: "This black woman looks shrewd, don't be fooled by your solid head."
"Shut up!"
Wei turned her head and glared at Jinx, but said with a little guilt: "Speak when it's time for you to speak up!"
"All right."
Jinx spread his hands and shrugged: "Then let me help you watch."
"Have you decided yet?"
Mirdarda's voice with a hint of a smile sounded.
She looked at Wei, then at Jinx, and said calmly with her eyes bent: "I think that little girl should be more suitable for negotiation."
"Yeah."
Wei sat down indifferently, looked at Midarda and said in a low voice: "She is indeed more suitable for negotiating than me, because she will put the muzzle of a gun in your face and make you agree to all her conditions .”
"Oh?" Midarda chuckled softly: "Then I would like to thank you, thank you for letting me save face."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Wei looked impatient: "Tell me, what do you want to negotiate? Will you completely surrender to us Zaun?!"
"Of course not."
Midardawin laughed and said: "But before showing our sincerity, please let me talk about the harm of war to both sides."
Next, Midarda began to analyze the military strength of both sides.
She didn't say anything threatening, but seemingly inadvertently, she explained Pierwater's hidden military strength.
Vi immediately snapped back, saying that she and Jinx alone could destroy Pierwater.
In this regard, Myrdalda is still elegant and indifferent. She said that Pierwater just didn't want to start a bigger war.
Otherwise, it is only necessary to cover the Rift Valley with saturated artillery fire, and Zaun can be easily completely destroyed.
Wei immediately set up the background of 'Jianna'.
Mydarda, who was born in Noxus, immediately gave examples of the legendary gods in the world, and pointed out the limitations of the gods in terms of belief.
Wei is not Ke Wen, she was immediately intimidated.
Seeing this, Midarda immediately changed the conversation and began to talk about the friendly and peaceful scenes between the two cities.
The negotiation has completely fallen into the rhythm of Myrdalda.
On the Zaun side, even with Jinx on the side to help shake their wits, they still couldn't get any initiative in the rhythm of Myrdalda.
Above the negotiating table, the top of a pillar in the middle of the bridge.
There is a small three-meter-square platform on the top of the column. At this moment, Kewen and Camille are standing side by side on the platform.
The two looked down at the negotiating table below, and received their voices in their ears in their own ways.
At the same time, Cowen and Camille are also negotiating.
"The factories of your Philos family should be taken back."
Ke Wen said softly: "The crystal synthesis process of your family is too polluting to the environment. At least one-third of the toxic haze in Zaun is emitted by your factories."
"Cancel those factories."
Camille also said softly: "But that will interrupt our family's industrial chain, will you make up for the loss?"
"I know what you want, but I can't do it right now."
Kewen shook his head: "The Hex crystal is not yet available, and our cooperation on the crystal will officially begin when it is actually available."
"Sorry, I can't do it."
Camille said in a low voice: "The sudden interruption of the industrial chain will destabilize our Ferros family~IndoMTL.com~ Whether it is internal or external, there are many people who are eyeing our Ferros family. You don’t want to lose the most suitable collaborator like our Philos family?”
"Do you think I believe it?" Ke Wen chuckled: "Just interrupting the business chain of artificial crystals will destabilize your family? If that were the case, your Philos family should have been eliminated long ago. "
"You are really not a qualified negotiator."
Camille's tone seemed a little helpless: "Negotiations are all about opening up the bottom line little by little, but you always like to get it done in one step."
Shaking his head slightly, Camille compromised: "Forget it, tell me what kind of compensation you can give."
"Let me provide you with a batch of Hex energy crystals first."
Kewen smiled and said: "The limit of the number is one hundred, it doesn't matter whether you arm yourself with them or show them to the outside world."
"Okay." Camille catered to Kewen's rhythm...
