The discovery of the Forbidden Magic Stone gave Rhodes some interesting thoughts - he didn't know whether the Durang family was a simple sculptor or a hidden golem maker, and Rod always felt that Galio was not so simple.

Demacia was extremely averse to magic, but ...... This country that is extremely averse to magic actually has its own mage group - and this mage group is quite good.

After confirming his destination, Rhodes took Jana, Jinx, and Anne and set out on a ship bound for Zaun.

……………………

Ike is busy.

Zuan is developing rapidly, and Ike, as the current de facto leader of Zaun, is both painful and happy.

Happiness is due to the fact that Zuan is moving in the direction he hopes and expects, while pain is due to the fact that Ike is not only busy but also very stressed.

Freedom runs in the blood of the people of Zuan, and freedom means ...... When the situation is not very urgent, people tend to be more distracted.

That's right, after the integration of the two cities and the reconstruction of Zu'an, the Zu'an people gradually lost their wartime unity and diligence, although the Zu'an Revolution has only been a year, and Zu'an's appearance is still quite good, but Ike is keenly aware of many bad signs.

The decline in work efficiency is still the most basic performance, and the deeper level is the laxity of the Zuan people.

This is also thanks to Ike's ability to reverse time on a small scale - in many meetings with the public representatives, Ike made the delegates speak their true thoughts in anger through frequent provocations and anger, and then reversed the time - through this SL method, Ike gathered a lot of important information, and the thoughts of the public representatives were quite direct reflections of the problems that Zuan is currently facing.

That's ...... Zaun is losing his purpose.

As the saying goes, when the freedom-loving Zu'an people begin to lose their purpose, things are likely to go wrong.

For this reason, Ike can be said to be anxious.

The Zuan people are not like Picheng Yankees who "got into the eyes of money", and the Zuan people who are used to freedom are quite a little rich and peaceful, as long as life goes well, they will become salted fish in minutes - and the result is that in the internal competition of the two cities, Zuan has a tendency to fall into the disadvantage.

There is no way, the people of Picheng always want to make a lot of money, but the people of Zuan are thinking about making enough money and then going out to high......

Zuan's pre-Revolution experience had made it clear to Ike that if the Twin Cities fell to Phi City's side, Zaun would soon be reduced to a flesh factory again.

Thinking of danger in times of peace, Ike did not dare to relax at all.

Thankfully, the Shurima expedition formed by Rhodes came back - the dusty expedition team brought back a lot of news and novelties about Shurima, and these discoveries greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people of Zuan, and now the whole of Zuan has fallen into a kind of "exploration fever", large and small expeditions have been formed spontaneously, ready to start driving into Shurima.

In addition to advocating freedom, the curiosity of the people of Zuan is also quite large, and investigation and exploration have inexplicably become the pillar industries of Zuan!

Expeditions - Discoveries - Archaeological Digs - Knowledge Summary, after a series of processes, the useful knowledge gained from Shurima will soon become part of the Hextech Tree.

Thanks to these expeditions, a series of logistics-related industries have also been established, and Zuan seems to have found his goal again.

It's not easy!

Ike, who was correcting documents in his office, twisted the Z-drive again, reversing time - the pile of papers on the desk was restored again, and Ike took out his pen and began to quickly give instructions without even looking at the documents.

"The resonance probe crystal manufactory in the west of the city...... It is feasible, but it is necessary to speed up the construction of the factory and put it into production when the expedition fever has not subsided......"

"Second Twin Cities Public Opinion Meeting, Instructions on the Failure of Explorers to Attend the Reserve Election of Representatives......"

"Some Recommendations for Sharing the HexLab ......"

Ike had already read the documents in their entirety and prepared the instructions, and with the help of the time warp, Ike returned to the previous point in time, and then quickly completed the instructions, and directly called his secretary to come in and take all the documents.

Ike's secretary seemed to be accustomed to the strange speed of her mayor's instructions, and took the paper—this time she didn't rush to convey it, but told another story.

"Mr. Ike, you've been approached by a man who claims to be Rhodes, who has a special order for Zaun......"

"Where?" Hearing the secretary say this, Ike's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where's that gentleman?" ”

"It's in the break room." The secretary was a little surprised why Ike was suddenly excited, but still informed him of Rod's news, "He still has a few ...... Dependents. ”

"Very well, I'll see him right now - you clear room number one right away."

"Mr. Ike, you'll need to inspect the foundation stone for coastal defense in half an hour......"

"Trip Cancellation." Ike waved his hand, unconcerned, "That kind of thing is left to a professional, if you can't do it, you can attend it on my behalf." ”

“……”

The secretary stopped talking and turned to clean room one, while Ike twisted his stiff neck and strode to the break room.

"Hey, Rod, long time no see!"
