Chapter Forty-Eight: The Purpose of the War College
"Please go on. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" LeBlanc leaned back against the bookshelf, gently lifted the purple that fell in front of his shoulders behind him, and asked Lin Zhao softly.
Lin Zhao said: "I have heard many people talk about War College and League of Legends before, and I just took a few more glances at this book and have a similar understanding of League of Legends. At the beginning, League of Legends was proposed by a group of super magicians who stood at the top of this world, right? I don't know how long it took from the time it was proposed to be completely established, to the establishment and stabilization of a series of rules such as the alliance arena model. I would like to ask President LeBlan, have you ever thought about the foundation on which the League of Legends can be established and so many city-states on the Valoran continent surround it and make it run successfully? ”
"The alliance was established because of the last rune war, which made everyone see that this world was already on the verge of collapse. We can't afford even one more rune war. Magical warfare destroys the environmental system of the entire world, leading to the collapse of the world. This is the status quo that all the magicians in the Valoran Continent are very aware of. ”
"It is precisely because of this that all the city-states on the Valoran continent will respond to the suggestion of the founder of the League of Legends to establish a war college on the edge of the grand barrier, send the elites of the city-states to the League of Legends, and let the small-scale wars that cause damage to the environment still within the scope of repair capabilities replace large-scale wars to resolve disputes between city-states and cities-states, thereby slowing down the rate of environmental degradation on the Valoran continent." This is something that every magician knows before learning magic, so why ask me in particular? ”
Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "Because what I want is not this answer." ”
LeBlanc's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "So, you're saying that the so-called theory of environmental destruction is false?" ”
"Of course not." Lin Zhao said, "When the alliance was established, it was not without obstacles, nor was there no such thing as the theory of environmental destruction being false. But in the face of the devastated world after the rune war, in the face of the facts, no one can stand up and question the theory of environmental destruction. The Union was smoothly established under this theory, and I certainly do not doubt its authenticity, nor the purpose of those creators. ”
"And what exactly are you trying to say?" LeBlanc asked.
Lin Zhao took a deep breath and said, "What I want to say is that the establishment of the alliance is not the creativity of one person, it is the product of a group of powerful magicians and common wisdom. And they won't have only one purpose. ”
"Oh, really?" LeBlanc chuckled.
Lin Zhao was not affected by LeBlanc's chuckle, and continued: "So I thought about the war system of the entire League of Legends - while the League of Legends absorbs the elites of each city-state and makes these elites cooperate with magicians to become heroes who fight in the alliance arena, it also opens up the projection of heroes to ordinary magicians. Allows mages to purchase projections that use these heroes to fight in the arenas of the Alliance. In this way, League of Legends has attracted almost the entire world of magicians to register in the alliance and become summoners of hero projections. And the meaning of the word summoner has also changed because of the emergence of the alliance. ”
"Please keep talking." Of course, LeBlana knows the past history that Lin Zhao said. She wasn't interested in these, what she suddenly became interested in was some ideas born from Lin Zhao behind these overlooks. This was a question that she, an orthodox magician, would never have thought of.
Lin Zhao's thinking became smoother and smoother, and he said: "When the system of the League of Legends is successfully established, and the city-states of the entire Valoran Continent revolve around it, when almost all magicians are attracted by the alliance's war games and become the registered summoners of the alliance, the foundation of the League of Legends will be completely solidified." ”
LeBlanc still didn't speak, but the pair of eyes that reflected the light of the magic flame already showed that she was waiting for Lin Zhao to continue with great interest.
Lin Zhao said: "The registered summoners of these alliances are from almost every city-state, and they can be said to be the cornerstone of each city-state's power. But now, their emotions, their thoughts, their likes and dislikes, and their opportunities have all been influenced by the top of the league, and have been manipulated by the top of the League of Legends unconsciously. In other words - while you are numb, the League of Legends has stolen the power of your city-states. ”
"Your statement is a bit shocking." LeBlanc smiled and said, "The alliance wants to maintain the order of war in the entire Valoran continent and maintain the ecological balance of the Runeterra, and each city-state gives it some power, which is what it deserves." When it comes to handing over the order of war to the Alliance, every city-state has already made such preparations. Is there anything wrong with this? ”
"No, you're wrong. The power that the Alliance now has is not all that you have given it. Through the rules of the alliance arena, the power it steals is far greater than you imagined, and even if you knew it, you would not be able to stop it. And I think that's where my advice to help you at the War College comes from. "What follows is my real thought, if President LeBlanc thinks what I'm saying is all nonsense, I can stop talking." ”
"Please go on, I'm interested." LeBlanc Road.
Lin Zhao continued: "After the establishment of the alliance's system, the hero projection combat method that serves ordinary registered summoners has also been promoted. Then, with the help of Piltover's video network technology, this way of fighting almost became a war game in the era of the Alliance. Every mage is obsessed with this magical and rich, yet regular and safe battlefield, which allows people to have fun while cultivating. And the most important link of this war network is, of course, in the hands of the top of the alliance. ”
"Which link?" LeBlanc asked.
"The determination of the hero's projection skill, as well as the limit of the hero's strength." Lin Zhao replied, "The use of hero projection by ordinary registered summoners is not limited by the city-state, if at the beginning, they will still have a preference for the heroes to which the city-state belongs because of the belonging of the city-state, but when the alliance's war game has formed a scale, and even has the annual alliance network team competition, the question of winning or losing is more and more valued by them, and their choice has gradually escaped the restrictions of the city-state." And various factors such as the strength of the hero have become a huge aspect that affects their choice. And the preference for heroes, I think to a certain extent, will also affect the preference of these registered summoners for the city-state, right? ”
LeBlanc narrowed her eyes after hearing Lin Zhao's words. She pondered in silence for a long time before she said, "Your statement is novel, why would you come to such a conclusion?" ”
"That's a good conclusion."
…… It's, actually.
Of course, Lin Zhao's heart couldn't say it, and he said, "Because you have never thought about this from the perspective of an ordinary summoner. The things you need to think about are too wide and too wide, and the height you stand on is too high. I'm different, I'm just an ordinary magician, that's why I think about these things. ”
"You're not ordinary." LeBlanc said, "Ordinary magicians don't directly drive runic energy, and they can't combine the habits, preferences, and thinking of ordinary summoners to think about such a conclusion from your height. ”
"That's because you said that if I can't help Noxus or anything, you're going to do something to me." Lin Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Because there is a threat of life and death behind me, I have to let go of my thoughts and figure out these things." ”
"Looks like I should thank myself." LeBlanc chuckled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about anything else." I thought about it carefully, and I really can't rule out the speculation you are talking about. If that's the case, what are the implications? What can you do? ”
"In the League of Legends arena, our victory or defeat is based on the tactics of both sides, the strength of the hero and the summoner in the league arena, rather than the real strength of the hero. The alliance's control over the strength and weakness of heroes, in my opinion, is a subtle influence, but I think the consequences of this influence cannot be ignored. Lin Zhao said, "For example, if one day, a war breaks out between Noxus and Demacia, and before that, because Demacia's heroes in the league arena are slightly stronger, and the summoners like to use Demacia heroes more, when the Noxus summoners go to the battlefield, or do logistics work in the rear, will it affect these heroes who are loved by the arena?" ”
This is an undoubted thing, even if the two sides will still fight, it will not be merciful, but the morale of those summoners and other aspects will still be greatly affected.
LeBlanc certainly doesn't need to answer specifically. As long as Lin Zhao reminded her, she also figured it out.
It's almost like a cultural export.
When you have a preference for something from an enemy, even if you are hostile, it is difficult for some people to become hostile to it.
"So, what about your solution?" "Just because you ask for such a possibility doesn't mean you're going to help Noxus." ”
Lin Zhao replied: "The solution is actually very simple. But President LeBlanc, I want you to assure me that it's best to use magic to swear that if I do come up with a plan that will help Noxus, you will really save me and take me to Sindra. ”
"You're really suspicious, Mr. Lin Zhao." LeBlanc shook his head and sighed, and said with a smile, "As the leader of the Black Rose, I have never been responsible for not only myself, but also for the Black Rose, how could I tell a lie?" But since you brought it up, I just promised you, and there is no problem. ”
She said as she waved the useless stick in her hand and recited the oath: "I, LeBlanc, hereby make an oath to the rune energy, if Mr. Lin Zhao's advice has the possibility of helping Noxus, I will keep Mr. Lin Zhao safe in Noxus, and promise Mr. Lin Zhao to reunite Mr. Lin Zhao with Ms. Sindra." ”
As she said these words, Lin Zhao felt the rune energy around her rhythmic, like sound waves, and with the tone of the voice, it was restricting inward little by little. When she finished speaking, the rune energy tightened, and the magic contract was formed.
Lin Zhao was relieved. He sensed LeBlanc's sincerity. You know, in that oath, what LeBlanc said was not to be able to help Noxus, but to have the possibility of being able to help Noxus.
LeBlanc gave Lin Zhao a wider condition, and now, it depends on what kind of answer Lin Zhao can give her.
Lin Zhao said: "All the rules have been incorporated into the League of Legends system, so if we want to make a difference, we can only do it within the scope of the League of Legends system." This is an ideological war, and if we want to take the initiative, we must understand what the ordinary summoners choose heroes on what basis. ”
"Please hurry up and get to the point, don't say anything." LeBlanc grew a little impatient listening to this nonsense.
Lin Zhao nodded and continued: "As far as my observation is concerned, the summoner's choice of hero projection is not only based on the strength of the hero's performance in the alliance arena, but also the personality of the hero's skill. Some summoners like skills that are smooth to use, some like simple, some like complex, some like ranged abilities, some like solo abilities with flat slashing, and some have melee and ranged ...... But I have summarized that the two most popular categories, one is that can be shown, and the other is simple and crude. Although the alliance limits the hero's ability and strength in the arena, when choosing a fixed ability in the alliance arena, the opinion of the hero itself will still be considered. If you want to grasp the interests and hobbies of ordinary summoners, you must start from these two directions. ”
When he said this, he paused, paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and added: "Oh, by the way, there is another point - that is, the idol potential that the hero himself has. That is, appearance. No one will reject handsome guys and beauties, and ordinary summoners will not be exposed to real influence, but to fight side by side with the hero projection, of course, they will also consider whether the hero is not excluded in terms of image, or even directly affected by the senses. ”
LeBlanc pondered for a long time and said, "I can understand the last point you said. But what does the so-called 'can show', and 'simple and rude', mean? ”
"In the arena of the alliance, except for the war duel in which the country's previous high-level summoners summoned the hero's body, the other summoners, when summoning the influence projection, all controlled the hero projection battle. Therefore, the skill set possessed by Hero Projection, if suitable, will make summoners feel good about themselves. The so-called Noh Show refers to the combination of skills projected by heroes, which can make summoners use it very elegantly, and can take the enemy's head in the chaos of the army, or come and go like the wind to kill people invisibly...... Of course, this is just a metaphor. On the other hand, the so-called simple and rude, it means that summoners don't need to spend too much energy, and they can kill enemies with simple skill movements and little control skills with hero projection. ”
"You mean, you can do it - help the heroes of Noxus and choose the ability to be liked?" LeBlanc stared at Lin Zhao, half-convinced. (To be continued.) )
