"He died, died under the blade of the Charikar." Jeno sighed and answered truthfully.

Azir lowered his shelf, not letting Jeno feel oppressed.

Hearing Jeno's answer, he sighed.

He never thought that the brother with a different surname, who was also an enemy and a friend, would end up like this, it was really a trick.

"I'll erect an inscriptionless monument for him in the oasis, and if you have any relics for him to bring back, that's great."

Azir did not hide his selfishness, and after experiencing the rebellion of Zelas, he had recognized the flaws in his character.

"There are no relics, but there is a last word."

"What did he say?"

"I hope there will be no more slaves here." Jano replied earnestly, and finally glanced at Taliyah's reaction.

The Shurima girl, who was directly involved in the existence of slavery, took a deep breath and was very concerned about the answer to this question.

"I'll think about it."

But Azir did not reply immediately.

"Don't worry."

Jeno reassured Taliyah, feeling that the abolition of slavery should be a sure thing, after all, the biggest obstacle to Azir's abolition of slavery was the imperial nobles whose interests would be harmed, and now this resistance is gone: in other words, Zeroth's last words also carry a lot of weight in Azil's mind.

Jeno then asked Azir about his plans for the future.

"Your Majesty, what do you know about Piltover?"

"Peculiar? Rich? To be honest, I didn't know much about the city, except that it was a port city. He looked around blankly, the city of the afterworld had brought to Azir only an endless sense of strangeness.

"Yes, that's right, in a deeper sense, it's a city of democracy and freedom, and people here yearn for freedom. It was once a small border town of the Shurima Empire, but after thousands of years of independent development, it has become a force to be reckoned with. The first step in the rise of the empire is to regain lost territory, and different ideas will inevitably cause violent conflicts, although the people of Picheng yearn for freedom and love peace, but they must also be ready to fight to defend the promised land! ”

At this moment, Jeno turned into a guardian of freedom, and spoke eloquently to Azir. But he always felt that he had said a lot but not the core, and maybe he should go back and strengthen his social etiquette and negotiation skills.

"So what do you want to say? Is Piltover going to break away from Shurima? ”

"No, I hope that Piltover and Shurima can reunite, share the means of production, and jointly defend against foreign enemies......"

Jeno then explained his intentions to Azir, focusing on the concept of means of production.

That's right, Jeno has been coveting Shurima's ancient technology for a long time! Legend has it that every time the Shurima Empire goes on a major expedition, a kind of flying ship carries the Ascended to the battlefield.

A flying ship! Coupled with advanced Hex weapons, it means air supremacy! The only air force like this! Because he has not heard of any country's army that can fight in the air.

Well, the dragon bird knights of Demacia count as a family. But after all, it is a special force, and there are very few of them, and its role as a reconnaissance branch is far greater than being consumed in a frontal conflict, so it can basically be ignored.

And the fool only went back and wanted to attack Demacia, those airships must be magic-driven, and fighting in the territory of Demacia will definitely suffer the loss of the forbidden demon.

After coming back to his senses, Jeno seemed to have thought a little too much, Demacia was considered to be in the camp of good order, and he didn't want to conquer the world, so there was basically no chance of fighting, unless he was full and had nothing to do.

After some explanation, Jeno finally made Azir understand what he meant.

"Piltover can return to Shurima, but only if he retains his autonomy and adheres to the old capitalist system, is this what you call one country, two systems?"

"One country, two systems!" Azir clapped his hands and laughed, and then looked at Jeno with appreciation in his eyes.

Many of the advanced ideas proposed by Jeno were refreshing to him, and the amount of information was so huge that he almost couldn't remember them. For example, in the past, Shurima was a feudal slavery, and now Piltover is a capitalist system, these are all areas that he has not thought about.

If he had known that this kind of harvest would be achieved, he would have brought the clerk over and asked him to write down all this new knowledge on paper and go back to study it.

"Actually, there have been similar examples before, such as Acacia and Eshtar, both of whom were former vassal states of Shurima, and who were granted a certain amount of autonomy by paying regular and quantitative taxes. And money is the lifeblood of you, so how are you going to solve the problem of taxes?" Azir asked.

Jeno naturally won't agree to let the funds be lost like this, not to mention that these funds can make money under the operation of the big family, and the reconstruction of Picheng requires a lot of capital investment, so it is impossible to pay taxes.

"As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. We can share some of the means of production, such as Hextech, which Piltoverff is proud of. If you build some devices in the city that can make it easier for residents to travel, and collect user fees, these public installations can provide a very considerable amount of revenue for the country over time, comparable to the tax revenue of a city, not to mention the profits brought by other technologies. ”

That's right, replacing taxes with the means of production and trade is Jeno's solution. Not only does he not want to pay taxes to get the protection of Shurima, but he also wants to do business with Shurima.

"Is it true to exchange knowledge for wealth? Pretty good idea. Azir sighed, this is indeed a win-win situation, Shurima's revival is a long process, and it is really worth it to bring in these endless money-making machines for long-term reasons.

But then he changed his tune:

"Whether it's a joint effort or sharing of information, it's a very important thing, and are you qualified to make those decisions? Or is this all wishful thinking on your part? ”

Yes, the pie that Jeno painted for Azir was too big, and the big one was somewhat unreal, so he didn't jump to conclusions, but was ready to let time see what happened.

Watching a glimmer of morning sun rise over the sea, he knew it was time to return.

"You don't have to rush to reply to these things, when I return to the capital, I will communicate with letters."

With a wave of his hand, Azir said goodbye to Jeno and asked the soldiers to return with him. But he didn't take two steps before he was stopped by Jeno.

"Your Majesty Azir, wait a minute! We can use this instead of correspondence. ”

He looked back to see Jeno handing over a delicate gadget to his palm, with several delicate gemstone keys on it.

And it was such an ornament-like gadget that made him completely subvert his previous opinion.
