In the eyes of ordinary people, Ionia should be a mysterious, magic-filled region, where there are all kinds of Vastaya, there are three thousand sects, there are abundant natural energy, and it is the nascent land of Valoran.

However, in fact, behind this mystery, Ionia is also a country with its own unique technology.

This uniqueness is most concentrated in the material science - although the armor of Demacia is a must, when it comes to weapons, apart from a certain god who has made iron-striking a hobby, the Ionians are absolutely second to none.

Whether it's Irelia's blade, Master Yi's sword, Goku's stick, or even Ember's two special firearms, these weapons are not only elegant and beautiful, but also far from being comparable to weapons from other countries in terms of materials.

Although the Hexes material has a variety of functions, the black iron sheet of Noxus is durable, and the forbidden magic stone of Demacia has a special effect, but when it comes to high-end materials, there is no country that can compare with Ionia!

Although Ionian materials are often obtained by chance and cannot be replicated, they are indeed the strongest in terms of quality.

Interestingly, Ionia is still a relatively conservative country - so Victor simply proposed a plan to borrow chickens and lay eggs, using the Ionians' advantages in materials science and turning them into resources that he could use to facilitate the ignition plan.

Strictly speaking, this is a diplomatic fraud - at the time of joint development, the Twin Cities would never have revealed the ignition plan, so in terms of experimental data, there would have been something hidden from the Ionians.

But...... Considering that the Ionians have not yet reached that point, the Twin Cities believe that they can completely hide from the Ionians and use the knowledge barrier to prevent them from exploring their true purpose.

So, in the proposal submitted to Irelia, the purpose of the joint development was to "resist the threat that might come from Noxus".

……………………

Irelia carefully read the plan provided by the Twin Cities, and she read it word by word, for fear that she would miss a single detail.

For the Blade Dancer, this kind of planning was clearly something she wasn't good at dealing with, so her first instinct was to seek Karma's help.

Karma, who has inherited the wisdom of the sages, must be able to figure out the meaning of the people of Picheng, right?

Unfortunately, Kalmar is not in the middle of the house right now.

Or...... Wait a little bit, wait until Karma comes?

However, considering that Karma had said before going to the North that she might be there for a long time, and encouraged her to make a decision, Irelia felt that she might have to try to solve the problem on her own first.

After all, in Irelia's opinion, this is probably not a very tangled diplomatic issue - in fact, the relationship between Ionia and the Twin Cities has always been good, and if things are really as mutually beneficial as the other envoy said, then there should be no reason for him to refuse.

As for guaranteeing the unsecret of Ionia...... Irelia, who has experienced the invasion of Noxus, hates nothing more than Sweep Away!

Especially when Oriana told her that she had been attacked by Noxians inside and outside the city, the scales in Irelia's heart finally really tipped in earnest.

Noxians ...... Noxians with undead hearts!

Although Irelia never wanted Ionia to live in hatred, she never let down her guard against the Noxians!

Appropriately enhance the deterrent effect of Ionia against invaders...... This is obviously not a bad thing.

……………………

And so, after Irelia's initial offer of willingness to cooperate, lengthy negotiations began – which, in the strict sense of the word, were actually negotiations of unequal status.

Although Oriana has been appointed as the leader of the Twin Cities at the highest level, and is currently acting as the Ambassador of the Twin Cities, it is Irelia who is presiding over the negotiations on Ionia's side!

This is a little weird - when does this kind of thing require the leader of a country to sit down at the negotiating table in person?

However, Irelia herself did not feel that anything was wrong in the slightest - she even had a learning attitude and wanted to learn some negotiation skills in this negotiation!

This made Rode, who participated in the whole process of negotiations, but had been playing soy sauce, couldn't cry or laugh.

What is this called?

Although Rhodes does not know about the ignition plan yet, in his opinion, this is undoubtedly a plundering operation of knowledge carried out by the Twin Cities to take advantage of Ionia's "ignorance" - Rhodes knows very well that it is difficult for the Ionians to get systematic knowledge about Hextech from this joint development, but the researchers of the Twin Cities who have been prepared for a long time will definitely do their best to completely understand Ionia's material science knowledge!

For Rod, the only problem now is ...... Do you want to intervene yourself?
