Chapter 560: Urgent News from Piltover
Life in Freljord is quite interesting. Li Ke chats with the children here and talks about interesting things.
Then he would go out hunting from time to time, and then have a loving applause with his harem here.
Originally, things were very harmonious here, but things in the world cannot always be so leisurely and comfortable, because at this moment, a letter came to Li Ke.
And the messenger was Mei Mu.
"Urgent report from Piltover."
Mei Mu put the letter in front of Li Ke, then sat in Li Ke's arms and shook off the snow from the ends of her hair. Then, looking at Li Ke's fur coat, she felt that Li Ke looked a bit like a savage.
Now Li Ke is not only wearing a cotton-padded jacket, but also sitting cross-legged on the kang - he made it.
Then he wrote something while roasting various nuts and meats.
If Mei Mu didn't know what kind of power this man contained in his body, he would have thought he saw a country boy spending the winter.
Li Ke now doesn't look like a man who wants to rule the world at all. He doesn't even have the high-spirited and aggressive state he had before.
But the state of an ordinary person.
Mei Mu was surprised because she knew Li Ke's strength. Not everyone can reach this state. But she just realized that Li Ke seemed to have been able to maintain this state since she met him...
“This guy…”
Mei Mu felt that she had discovered something different again, but just as she was thinking about it, Li Ke's hand slid down from her not-so-large chest, took off her boots, and then pinched her soles, kneading them gently while reading the letter.
"Oh? Piltover. Lady Cassandra should be able to solve Piltover's problems easily."
Pinching Mei Mu's small feet, Li Ke's mind was only half on his letter. After all, Mei Mu's cheeks were flushed now, and she looked very cute.
Speaking of which, Meimu's daughter Akali is almost ready to get married, but Meimu still looks like a girl. This is really -
"Hey, what are you looking at? This is a good thing for you. Noxus and Demacia are planning to send you a lot of women. Although they have bad intentions, this should be a good thing for you, right?"
Meimu shyly dragged the matter to the formal stage. She looked at . Even though she was a ninja and had been trained to control the production of sweat, it was a normal human secretion, so she was a little concerned about her smell.
"I wonder if the herbs have any effect..."
She thought shyly that she didn't want to leave an impression in Li Ke's mind that her feet smelled bad.
"Well... although that's what you said, it's too explicit. In comparison, Ms. Cassandra's wording is quite rigorous and official, but I prefer yours."
Li Ke smiled and rubbed Mei Mu's hair which was a little icy with his chin. The body temperature of this Ionian female ninja has not yet recovered.
But she looks much better than Xia.
After taking a look at Xia, who was lying in bed and didn't want to move at all, and even wanted to hibernate, Li Ke casually put the letter on the table.
" In short , you are right. Demacia and Noxus have already severely oppressed Lady Cassandra."
In the letter that Li Ke saw, Cassandra was almost asking for help.
The reason is very simple. Although 20% of Piltover's production capacity has now been shifted to Ionia and Freljord, it has specifically developed agricultural and mining machinery.
But this does not mean that their original customers will disappear, and the merchants serving those customers will disappear.
But neither Ionia nor Freljord can make up for the customers of Demacia and Noxus.
These are the two most developed countries of this era. Li Ke can easily conquer other places with force, but for these two very cohesive countries, he can only let their own beliefs collapse first.
These two countries are not the rotten fish and shrimps in the surrounding areas.
That’s right, rotten fish and shrimp.
Piltover seems advanced and able to suck the blood of the whole world, but its territory is too small. They can defeat Noxus or Demacia once, but they cannot defeat their armies forever. They do not have enough people, territory, and food to do so.
Needless to say, Shurima, without Azir to raise the sun disk again, would be a place that anyone could step on, which is roughly equivalent to a desert war-torn area in the real world.
Not to mention Ionia and Freljord, one is in the late tribal system, and the other is in the middle tribal system, so the big brothers and the second brothers are all here.
As for what Bilgewater?
What does the competition among great powers have to do with these stinky pirates?
Just because they have sky-high patterns on their heads?
"But it's really interesting that they're restricting products."
Li Ke looked at what was written in the letter and couldn't help laughing.
After not receiving any news or feedback from him for a long time, Demacia and Noxus simultaneously raised tariffs to the point where a merchant would go bankrupt if he dared to ship goods to Noxus and Demacia.
This is totally turning the table over.
"Really, the attitude of a hegemon?"
Li Ke doesn't care about such things. Those entrepreneurs and business aristocrats in Piltover are dead, so he doesn't care.
But unfortunately, some workers and technicians also consider themselves entrepreneurs...
If Li Ke leaves it alone, these people will inevitably lose confidence and flee.
This is something that cannot be avoided, so Li Ke has to go back and fight.
"So why don't you just replace Piltover with Ioyans? Do you think the Ioyans will betray you?"
Mei Mu also saw the letter, so she couldn't help but ask.
"It's different. Ionians are prone to discrimination when doing things in Piltover. Whether it's Ionians discriminating against Piltover people or Piltover people discriminating against Ionians, it's a problem. And the Piltover thing is my sincerity."
If you want to do something, you have to pay a price. Li Ke is very clear about this.
"A little bit of concession is my sincerity. Although is quick, it cannot completely resolve the conflict."
He knocked casually on the wall next to him, and a war mother, now Li Ke's maid, named Cherna, walked in and looked at Mei Mu with some envy.
"Send me an order to the Council of Three Sisters to gather the one thousand children who have completed elementary school and are willing to leave their hometown to learn how to build this place, and then start the ship and prepare to go to Piltover."
Li Ke looked at Cherna and snapped his fingers.
"I'll take them to see the most educated people in the world."
