Jeno sees it differently than others.

He saw farther and more comprehensive than anyone else, including the giant gods of the Runeterras overlooking the universe, not as good as him. Except for Svein, who is also highly intelligent and has a farsighted vision, and Kieran, who is in OB mode, he thinks that no one knows more about the Twin Cities than him.

In the eyes of others, the energy crisis was just a minor setback for Piltover. Because it is developing so fast and so smoothly, just like the expansion of Noxus, the momentum is too strong! It feels like a catastrophe is a matter of course.

But from this energy crisis, he saw the fuse of the future showdown between Piltover and Zaun.

He foresaw that the paralysis of Hextech would inevitably increase the mining of Fujing, and that Picheng's exploitation of Zuan would increase with pollution. Because of the lack of energy, in order to ensure its own operation, Picheng will gradually shut down all equipment such as the exhalation station that controls the air circulation in Zu'an after the rich crystals are exhausted. And those who have to leave their homeland will be willing to abandon their assets underground?

The intensification of this life-threatening and violent contradiction will inevitably make Zaun launch a final counterattack against Piltover, and the leader, nine times out of ten, is Victor in front of him, and his hatred for those interests in charge of Piltover is not a day or two.

Jeno is aware of this, so he must extinguish the fuse that has been lit as soon as possible. However, he knows that it is better to block than to loosen, so he must take this opportunity to solve the root cause of the problem.

Through the development and popularization of new energy, the reshuffle of the upper forces, the elimination of alchemical pollution, and the acceleration of the integration of the two city-states are all his plans. As for the industrial revolution it brings, it has become an additive existence, but its impact on the twin cities is also very far-reaching.

In other words, Jeno's hand at the Gate of the Sun not only resolved the deepening contradiction between Piltover and Zaun, but also opened up a new path for the sustainable development of the two cities. As long as the underlying contradictions are perfectly resolved, it is only a matter of time before they merge with each other.

But......

"I'm sorry, I can't trust you." "People are selfish, and I once tried to kill you to snatch the crystal, so I wouldn't believe that a victim would be so generous to the perpetrator," Victor said. ”

"What's the situation?" Jace was stunned, he hadn't heard of such a feud between Jeno and Victor, he didn't even know that it was because Jeno had saved him in the workshop.

But no one answered him.

"Hmph." Jeno smiled, swept away the tools on the workbench, and did it with a butt: "You went against me at the beginning, and now you know that you regret it, right?" ”

"I never regret the choices I made, either for you or for Jace, otherwise I would still be in front of a stupid inventor working for Leather City." Seeing Jeno sit down, Victor let go of his fist and sat back in the metal chair.

Jeno's smile retracted, and he was ready to talk to Victor calmly:

"You say yes, yes. Zaun's presence has many benefits for Leather City, cheap labor, round-the-clock entertainment, no-holds-barred trading venues, distinctive tourism, hidden factory laboratories, and even a safe haven when the Holocaust strikes, I know these things better than you. ”

With that, he grabbed two pieces of iron from the workbench and kneaded them with his left hand.

"If you compare Piltover to a screw, and Zaun to a nut, when they are far from each other, the screw may still be useful, it can nail something, although it may not be very strong, and the nut loses its meaning at all. But ...... "Jeno took the screws and nuts, inserted them into the crossed pieces of iron, and turned them into a pair of sharp scissors: "If they are tightly combined like this, they will become a pair of sharp scissors, and there is no disadvantage." How could I do that to Zuan in such a situation? Who would be stupid enough to destroy their future? ”

"If you still don't believe it, you can build some small wind turbines on the cliff walls of Zaun and control it yourself, anyway, both water and wind are fluids, I believe you can do it directly. It's not a big deal, just spend money to buy peace of mind. It's just that I pity my goddess Jana, she may have a hard time in the future, it's really hard to stick to it by relying on love, if you don't say anything, your Glorious Evolution Order is really not doing anything. ”

Jeno babbled and saw Victor, who was already a little moved, and he directly threw out a big killing move.

"Let's just say that, you may still subconsciously think that I will take revenge on you, so it is better to settle this grudge here. I can now sign with you a pleasing overlord agreement, the content of which is that you will give up your glorious evolution and devote yourself to the construction of new energy until you die; I'll make sure that I treat Picheng Zuan equally, and even put the detonating device of the Sungate on Britz, you can always trust it, right? And the witness and custodian of the agreement is handed over to Jace, how about it? ”

"......" Victor didn't answer, his hands tightly grasped the metal armrests of the chair, his whole body trembled, and in a short period of time, drops of cold sweat flowed from the bangs on his forehead, as if he was doing a fierce ideological struggle.

Choosing between the glorious evolution and the Industrial Revolution is still too difficult for Victor now.

"Alas, you're right, people are really selfish, and you can't let go of this emotion, feeling that you still have a long way to go from your glorious evolution. Since you only want to get the best from me, then I won't force you, let's do the opposite, to lure him, or draw up an agreement for Jace to witness. ”

Jace looked confused: Why am I again?

"Clockwork Spirit, you know that, right? If you are willing to fully participate in the Industrial Revolution, I will ask my family Orianna to help you transfer your consciousness to the crystal with magic, and you only need to customize a new mechanical body for yourself, and then graft the crystal consciousness to the new body, and you can become a clockwork demon-like existence, which is very close to the glorious evolution in your mind, right? Then you can hide your new body in a place I don't know, and even if your body dies, you can be resurrected in your new body, how about this retreat tailored for you? It was just perfect! ”

Such a method that can not only protect himself but also revitalize Zuan was thrown in front of him, how could Victor not be moved?

What's more, whether he obeys the agreement or not, he can directly cross the biggest obstacle on the road to glorious evolution - the complete preservation of consciousness and the complete mechanization of the whole body, so why not?

Looking up at Jeno's deep eyes, Victor stretched out his palm expressionlessly, and grasped it with Jeno's iron: "Deal." ”
