Chapter 145: Breaking a promise
Jeno pinched his fingers tightly, his knuckles turned white from too much force, and it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
Who did Picheng mess with? Ze Sanpao didn't make a stumbling block for Azir, why didn't he get along with Picheng! And Zyra, is this brainwashed by the three guns? Run to Pi Cheng too!
He just predicted that the tsar would not come in a short time, and now two big guys jumped out and slapped him in the face, and even he, a traverser, didn't know what was going on!
But if you calm down and analyze it, you may not be so ignorant.
"I think it's all related to the recent changes in Shurima."
"You mean the rebirth of the ancient Emperor Azir?"
"Yes." Jeno closed the report book and reached for the miniature scale of the land model on the conference table, "Look at the location of the Eastern Rainforest!" ”
"The Eastern Rainforest is a cursed forest, as we all know, and the Noxus Wasteland has explored the boundaries of the area, only to be wiped out, and the Eastern Rainforest has been covered in mystery.
It is the gateway to the southern continent of Shurima, and it is also the unexplored area on the east side of Shurima, bordered by the Sea of the Watcher to the east and the forbidden land of Acacia to the south, the former being the sea and the latter being saline land, where vegetation cannot survive. So it usually expands into the great desert to the west, and that's exactly what I've heard, although it's slow to let the vegetation cover the yellow sand.
The rebirth of Azir caused the rainforest to stop expanding into the desert and instead expand to the north, that is, in the direction of Piltover, because this part of the land is fertile and the boundaries are narrow, so the rainforest invades so quickly. ”
Before the crossing, people were worried about the desertification of the land, and after the crossing, people were worried about the demonization of the land.
This is a complete violation of the law of human development, and there are too many demons and monsters in the Land of Runeterra!
"But we can't do that much, the first thing we have to solve is the matter of the cannibal jungle, which is already imminent."
Jeno's analysis is valid, but it doesn't change the situation, and they still need a way to prevent vegetation from encroaching.
As for the Zelas who came later, he couldn't control it, so let's get Jie La out of the way first.
"Let the alchemists of Zaun urgently develop effective plant killers, or use the pathogen of blight or something...... Make sprays. ”
As soon as Jeno finished speaking, he saw Da Ke'er shake his head: "What you said, the alchemists are already working on it, but it's too late...... And common viruses have no effect on these vegetation. ”
And at this time, Camille, who had been silent, finally spoke:
"Jeno, tomorrow you take a group of guards to the outskirts of the city to draw a firebreak, and then burn the forest with muskets."
A day is the time it takes to turn over weapons, and the Vishra muskets are available in every family, but there are not many of them. If you need to use it in large quantities, you have to rent it, and you have to report it to the police, otherwise these prohibited weapons cannot be blatantly brought to the streets.
Jeno was stunned for a moment, and agreed without thinking: "Okay." ”
Although it is not clear why he led the team himself, if he had to draw a firebreak, wouldn't it be faster for Camille's legs to cut down trees?
A firebreak is a clearing in the woods that is not covered by vegetation to prevent the spread of wildfires, so it is necessary to cut down trees.
While there was still time, Jeno went to the underground training room to grab a Vishra musket and brought it back to his room for some fine-tuning.
I made a heat-resistant spout with new materials, adjusted the circuit to increase the output power, and the ordinary flamethrower became a focused flamethrower, with a higher flame temperature and a longer output range, but the energy consumption also increased exponentially.
After making these adjustments, most of the day has passed.
Jeno's door was pushed open, and it was Niko.
"Do you sleep comfortably?" Jeno sat down in his chair and turned around with a twist of the chair shaft.
"Well, it's been a long time since Niko slept so comfortably." Niko lay on the ground, pouting her ass and stretching.
Jeno naturally turned his head to ignore the upside-down hem of her skirt, which he suspected was taught to her by Nedri.
"Niko, come closer, I have something to say to you."
Niko took Jeno's outstretched hand and leaned in front of him, her amber eyes reflecting Jeno's serious face.
She sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
It was as if she had returned to the island, and in the fire that exterminated the clan, the old people asked her to leave with a serious voice.
It's exactly the same feeling as it was back then.
"Jeno, are you going to get Niko out of trouble?" Niko's voice was low, her tail was coiled around her ankles, and she stared at her big eyes aggrievedly: "Niko came in and forgot to knock on the door, next time you must pay attention." ”
Jeno smiled and touched Nico's head, not expecting this little girl to be so sensitive.
"Here's this for you, take it."
Niko took the communicator and played with it, for some reason.
"I've got a tricky problem that requires you to get out of Piltover for a while, it's called a communicator, and when I solve the problem, I'll contact you through it, and then you'll come back, okay?
Of course, I'll give you a lot of money to buy a lot of cheesecake, and you won't be able to eat it all in a year. ”
Niko is just a passerby, not Piltover, and Jeno doesn't want her to be involved in this catastrophe, she still has so big dreams to achieve.
So, Jeno was ready to break his promise, and Niko couldn't stay here any longer.
"Why does Niko have to leave, can't we settle it together?" Niko wasn't tempted by cheesecake.
"It's better for you to leave, this matter has nothing to do with you." The coaxing didn't have much effect, and Jeno changed his resolute tone again, but he didn't expect it to cause a bigger backlash from Niko.
"Niko has already said that she will knock on the door next time, and Niko does what she says! And, without Piltover, Niko didn't know where to buy cheesecake. ”
"This ......," Jeno's tone faltered.
"Cheesecake! To be with Jeno! Just! Good! Times! Niko's determination popped out of her mouth, and Jeno's mouth soured.
He wasn't moved, though he did.
In fact, it was he who discovered that Neeko had used magic.
Neko's words had the power to deceive people, but she didn't know it, and she used it inadvertently.
Although she will be immune to Jeno's talent, her sincerity is enough to make Jeno reconsider her decision.
"If you stay, will you be obedient?" Jeno pressed his finger to Neko's nose and asked in a feigned seriousness.
"Yes!"
"How can you be sure you'll be obedient?"
"Nicol swears by her people! I'll definitely listen to Jeno! ”
"Don't, don't, I believe you." Hearing that Nicol was about to swear, Jeno hurriedly stopped her: "Look at you so well-behaved, my brother will take you to eat cheesecake." ”
"Yay!"
Jeno vaguely felt that something was wrong, but Niko kept wrapping his hand around him with her tail and kept pulling him, urging him to hurry out, making him distracted and forgetting about it in a blink of an eye.
