Chapter 9: Valoran's Future
The children were quiet, listening to Dick recount what he had seen and heard at Piltover and the Academy of Technology and Magic, all of them looking as attentively as they did when they looked at the fruit on the table. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mother Eloti had returned before, and she had found Dick and the children when she entered the house. She smiled slightly, didn't bother them, and gently tiptoed across the living room and headed straight for the kitchen, of course, with the ingredients she had just bought at the border market. Today she needs to prepare a relatively hearty dinner.
It wasn't until a burst of fragrance came out of the kitchen that the children, who were immersed in the story, reacted, and immediately separated a few older children and happily entered the kitchen to help Eletty's mother.
Dick didn't continue to recall the information in his head in the name of telling, but sat quietly at the dinner table and thought about his future plans. Moreover, he was really a little thirsty after talking a lot, and wanted to quench his thirst with a few fruits, but when he found the children staring at the fruits on the table like guards, Dick had to get up and pour himself a glass of water.
As for his future plans, Dick didn't think too much about it. In fact, he didn't have any special plans, as an ordinary person who crossed over from the earth, it was his requirement to be able to get a relatively easy job with a decent income. And because of the League of Legends game on Earth, he has a considerable interest in the League of Legends world he is in now, and has initially set himself a goal of traveling to the Valoran continent.
Of course, to achieve this, at least two conditions must be met. First, the strength is strong enough, after all, the Valoran continent is a world full of crises and instability, although the war has gradually subsided with the establishment of the League of Legends, but who can say for sure? In Dick's impression, Noxus, who admired iron and strength, was definitely not a master who was content with the status quo. Because of his own system, Dick knew that as long as he didn't have an accident, then his future strength would definitely not be bad, at least it would not be a problem to ensure that he traveled to the continent.
The second is that there are enough gold coins, after all, the Valoran continent is really big, not to mention the void land that is said to exist outside time and space, and the Bandel City that no one knows the specific location like a peach orchard (in the new setting of the alliance universe, Bandle City is an unknown and mysterious place, and the residents of the Valoran Continent regard it as a legendary place, but firmly believe that it really exists), as far as the known city-states and regions of the continent are concerned, they are not easy to reach by one person, and even some places require special guides and tools to reach. And these are inseparable from the power of money.
Satisfied with the above two points, Dick thought that he was qualified to travel alone in the Valoran continent, but Dick also thought of a third way, and that was to travel with a group. No matter how you join the group, this can greatly ensure your own safety and reduce your rigid requirements for the first and second points.
Of course, it's too early to think about these questions, and Dick is not a man of lofty ambitions.
"It's time to eat!"
The children came out of the kitchen with the children holding the plates aloft in the air, and the children immediately put away the tables and chairs, and quickly sat down in their seats, waiting for Mother Eleti to pray. Dick was no exception, although he was the oldest child in the House of Hope and had replaced a long-grown soul, but in the presence of Mother Elody, he unconsciously thought of himself as a child who had not yet grown up.
There was no solemn ceremony, no solemn prayer, just a group of children, led by a woman, who ended the pre-meal prayer by chanting "May Cana be with you."
The children were finally able to eat the delicate fruits on the table, and although they were in fact quite ordinary, and it was not the first time they had eaten the fruit that Dick had bought from Phi City, they could eat a delicious feeling every time they ate them. Looking at the look of satisfaction on their faces, Dick felt the need to find a way to earn enough money for the children in the House of Hope.
Dinner ended in harmony and fulfillment, and since Mother Elette had a rule that she could not speak during meals, Dick's words had not had a chance to speak to Mother Elody until now.
"Mother Eletty, I have obtained the qualification of an official soldier of the Alliance, and I will have a decent income every month in the future, and I will transfer the rest back to the Hope House except for the necessary expenses."
"Ah, has little Dick turned positive?" Mother Eletty was visibly happy when she heard Dick's words, "However, you have just turned positive, and you have no military achievements, how much can an ordinary soldier earn every month?" You better keep the money for yourself, I hope the house is here, and you don't have to worry about it. ”
Eletty's mother is always there to help the children in the House of Hope wherever she can think of them, even those who have left the House of Hope as adults. Even among these children, those who are okay with life and want to share the pressure of the Hope House, Eletty's mother has never accepted their handouts, and will help them in any way she can. The only things Eletty's mother would accept were the grants from the Alchemy Baron or the Leather City Officials, perhaps because she thought they had a lot of money, or maybe they deserved it, who knows.
"Oh, yes." Mother Eloti seemed to remember something, and said to Dick, "Is it because you were summoned by the Land of Justice today to play a league game?" ”
Dick didn't understand why Mother Eleti brought this up, but replied, "Yes, it was because I was summoned to the Land of Justice to participate in the tournament and won in the end that I was eligible to be turned into a regular." ”
I thought that Eletty's mother would be happy for herself, but she didn't think that after she finished speaking, Eletti's mother, who had always been calm and breezy, frowned, as if she was thinking about something that was not too good.
After a while, Mother Eletty sighed and said, "In any case, since you can't change it, and you have chosen this path, then go on steadfastly, even if the road ahead is an abyss!" ”
Dick was taken aback, he had no idea that Mother Elody would say these words to him in such a serious tone, and quickly continued to listen intently, he knew that Mother Elody would definitely explain it for herself.
"Dick, you're the eldest of the children, and in a few days you'll be living alone in the House of Hope. Fortunately, you are also competitive, and it is a great thing to be admitted to the Academy of Science and Technology Magic, which can allow you to have a stable career and a strong body in the future. ”
"But I didn't think you would be regularized, after all, there are very few reservists summoned by the Alliance to the Land of Justice. But since you're already an official soldier of the Alliance, I won't say anything more, I just have something to tell you. ”
At this point, Mother Elette drove all the children away, leaving Dick behind.
"Due to the existence of League of Legends, the Valoran continent has maintained peace for quite some time, but this is only the surface. In fact, in many places, especially in some small areas, wars are still frequent, and although large-scale battles do not break out, the shadow of the big forces behind them can be seen in this. As far as I know, Noxus has made frequent moves in recent sensitive incidents and seems to be intent on provoking alliance wars. ”
"I'm not sure if Noxus will break the agreement and start a war, but I've always felt that Noxus is not an empire that will keep its contracts, and when they attacked Ionia, they were ......"
The words were whispering, apparently because Mother Eletty didn't want to hear them. Dick never thought that the world would always be peaceful, so he was not surprised, and even had a faint feeling in his heart that he was actually looking forward to war.
If the Valoran continent has always been peaceful, how can he dance with the heroes he has been waiting for for a long time in this land of runes that he has high hopes for?
The Valoran continent will surely be bloody again!
