Chapter 64: The Price of Freedom (Part II)
How important is an energy supply system for the whole city?
To take the simplest example, if a city relies on the most primitive supply of firewood for cooking, as well as heating and lighting, the city needs to send a large part of the labor force every day to cut firewood and collect combustibles, but unfortunately the urban population is growing at the same time, the available firewood around is constantly decreasing, and the firewood cutters have to go farther away to cut firewood, and then the efficiency will be significantly reduced.

But if cities use coal for energy, they can not only obtain more resources with less labor, but also use it to cast steel, fire clay, and progress in civilization.
In this way, a set of suitable and sustainable energy supply equipment is the foundation of a city's development, such as the alchemy device from Zaun, and the Hexscience system of Piltover, which are both mature and complete energy supply systems.
But both of these have all kinds of inconveniences for the current Freljord.
But now, if someone comes forward and says that he can help Freljord solve this problem, he must have gained the most sincere friendship of his kind.
"That's right, I can repeat, as long as Freljord agrees to support Demacia's outpost in the Iron Ridge Mountains, we can cover the cost of installing all of the Hex's energy supply systems and maintaining them for three years. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was boiling.
Everyone knows what the words of Gavin IV mean.
Blatantly wooing.
Having Freljord have a full set of Hex facilities and three years of maintenance at once is a big pie that is hard to refuse.
But in response, if an outpost belonging to Demacia was established in the Iron Ridge Mountains, it would undoubtedly put the whole of Freljord under Demacia's sphere of influence.
And with the natural danger of the Iron Ridge Mountains, if Noxus really dares to start a war, this outpost will become a steel needle that is tightly inserted into Noxus's fist.
"Hey, Jace, is this what the Philos family instructed you to do?"
Hearing this, Wei's wine suddenly woke up for the most part, and asked Jace, who was also surprised.
You know, once this plan is actually implemented, then Noxus will definitely not sit still, and may fight to the death before the outpost is built, and Valoran will have a new bloody storm.
"No...... They never told me that. ”
Jace said nervously, biting his fingers.
He knew that this matter was probably planned by "that woman", you know, the Philos family is not a good woman, if for the sake of sufficient interests, starting a war may be within the acceptable range.
"Huh...... Hypocritical Demacians. ”
Just when everyone was shocked, Svein didn't know when he also stepped onto the high platform.
"Demacia is not the one who has always professed to be a peacemaker, and the people of Demacia would be so ugly. ”
Ignoring Gavin's eyes as if he were about to kill, Svein spoke slowly.
"On behalf of Noxus, I also promise to cover the cost of the installation of an alchemical energy supply facility for Freljord, and to provide Freljord with enough operators free of charge, in addition to which Noxus will also bear all the disposal of industrial waste for Freljord, and will not affect a single piece of land in the permafrost. ”
Svein's words also caused an uproar.
Let's not talk about the installation cost of alchemy equipment, just the disposal of industrial waste, and even Zuan has not found a solution that can safely dispose of industrial waste so far.
But again, since Noxus promised to provide workers to Freljord, the ownership of the technology would remain tightly in Noxus' hands, and it is even said that Vines had made the place a city run by Noxian workers.
If the Demacians wanted to force Freljord to be tied to their chariots, then Noxus was to keep Frejord in captivity, and it was up to him when to shear the sheep and when to milk the goats.
"What do you mean, Svein. ”
Jiawen's tone was no longer as high as it was at the beginning, but became a hint of ruthlessness, which made people shudder.
"Do you want to start a war?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid you were the one who started the war. ”
Svein flicked the dust off his shoulder, and touched the bird on his shoulder.
"If you could have died obediently, you wouldn't have had so many incidents now. ”
"In that case, let's make a break here!"
Hearing Svein's words, Gavin immediately became furious, as if mentioning some old scar, and the spear behind his back came out of his body like lightning, and rushed towards Svein like a silver dragon.
But at this moment, a silver light faster than Gavin suddenly appeared, and with a ding, Tyrone's figure appeared beside Gawen, and the dagger in his hand just touched the power point of Gawen's spear.
Just when everyone thought it was over, a sword light flashed out from the corner, stabbing Tyrone in the thigh with great precision.
"You're exposed, rat. ”
Fiona appeared at Tyrone's side at some point, holding a blood-dripping thin sword, and the light of revenge was severe.
"You guys, what do you think of this place?"
Bang!!!
The terrifying roar, accompanied by a sound that shook the sky, made the entire banquet hall feel that their feet could not help but tremble.
And on the high platform, it is a cloud of smoke.
It took a long time for people to barely see what was going on inside.
The first to appear were Prince Gavin and Fiona, who sat down to the sidelines, as if they had been greatly impacted.
Then, there was Tyrone, who had just stabilized his figure, and Svein, who was motionless.
Finally, there is the man standing in the middle of the smoke and dust, carrying a large knife.
King of the Barbarians, Tedamir.
At this time, the crimson fury burning around him, coupled with the deep pit on the ground, was enough to explain his current state.
Rage.
In addition, perhaps due to the force of the impact, the bandages on Tydamir's body were shaken open, leaking out the horrific scene inside.
Half of Tedamir's face, as well as his entire left chest, were covered in pink crystals, and as his breath rose and fell, one could even hear the small sound of crystals colliding with each other.
Crystallization?
What the hell is going on, and why did the leader of the barbarians suffer from such a terrible disease.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Tedamir slowly spoke.
"First of all, I would like to remind you two that the place where you are standing now is called Glacier Fortress, and belongs to Freljord, not Demacia, let alone Noxus!"
