Piltover's strength does not come from military power, but from extensive trade cooperation and thinking ahead of its time.
Piltover sits on a cliff adjacent to the city of Zaun, overlooking the sea. Fleets of ships pass through its huge bay mouth, laden with goods from all over the world.
Including food, art, magical artifacts, and even pets.
"If you want to go to other parts of the mainland, you can also take a boat at the port here." At the port, the housekeeper introduced the situation in Pi City to Bai Liyuan and others, and Bai Liyuan also came with him this time.
Now Bailiyuan and the others were like a tour group to Pi City, and Shirley even raised the flag accordingly.
"If you are traveling, there are special cruise ships that can go to some cities and areas suitable for travel."
"If you are going to other areas to do business, or to travel or take risks, it is recommended to spend some money and take a merchant ship. Not only is the ticket cheaper, but the speed is faster, but the comfort is much worse. You also need to act as a escort for the merchant ship in critical moments. .”
"You know, there are also bandits on the waterways."
The butler knows everything. It can be seen that his knowledge reserve, at least about Piltover, is definitely sufficient.
"These are mentioned in the adventure travel notes written by the explorer Yin Zeriel who set out from Pi City. He would occasionally return to Pi City and publish his own travel notes to help the people of Pi City expand their horizons."
"He is recognized by all walks of life in Piltover as the greatest explorer!"
Bailiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Yin Zerui's name.
Yin Zairiel is also from Pi City, so if he puts on Yin Zairui's skin, can he pretend to be Yin Zairui in Pi City?
How about adding some special content to Yin Zeriel's adventure legend?
By the way, take away Yin Zerui's royalties?
The travel notes published by Yin Zerui naturally received royalties, and according to the housekeeper, the sales were pretty good.
After all, Yin Zerui is also a human being, and he needs money to go on adventures, so he naturally has to find some ways to make money.
Bailiyuan said that he wanted to collect the explorer's money, leaving the explorer with no money to collect.
Fortunately, Baili Yuan realized in the end that his request for Valoran's money was of no use, allowing Yin Zeriel to escape this disaster.
What happened to the righteous people of light?
Can’t a righteous person of light have a flexible moral bottom line?
Moreover, Bailiyuan didn't really want to transform into Yin Zairiel in Valoran. After all, Yin Zairil was not without enemies.
Bailiyuan still remembers that when he traveled through time and space wearing the skin of Yin Zeriel, a future warrior, he was hit in the knee by a bullet fired from an unknown source, and fell into Valoran's time and space.
The bullets fired from the space-time channel cannot be stray bullets or accidental injuries.
…
The wealth brought by maritime trade has given unprecedented impetus to the growth of Pic City. Pic City has been carrying out revolutionary innovations and created a city of wealth and dreams.
The Start-up Chamber of Commerce has funded the development of amazing new areas: grand artistic hodgepodge, obscure hextech research, and monumental buildings that symbolize their strength.
As more and more inventors eagerly pursue cutting-edge hextech knowledge, Piltover has become a magnet for skilled craftsmen from around the world.
The housekeeper took Baili Yuan and others to the science and technology center in Pi City.
It is also a center of invention and creativity.
——The workshop of the Clock Academy!
Students who study at the Yodel Academy of Science and Progress all hope to graduate with a successful education and then have an invention workshop of their own here.
A large number of inventors gather here and have the best scientific research environment in Pi City. They have brought countless inventions to Pi City and promoted the progress and development of Pi City.
This is also where capital gathers.
If you want to make inventions, you cannot do without money, and you need a lot of money.
Those wealthy chambers of commerce and families will invest in the inventors here, and then harvest inventions to make their chambers of commerce and families go further.
And because the current needs of Pi City are mainly those of the Chamber of Commerce and the family, the inventions and creations mainly researched in this workshop are almost all the creations of Hai Technology.
Hextech is a new and unexpected fusion of magic and technology, used to create beautiful artifacts that can be used by anyone, rather than being reserved for the arcanely gifted few.
Energy, weapons, daily life, biological modification... Hex Technology can be seen in all aspects.
And Hex Technology also exists in Zaun in the lower city.
"The fusion of technology and magic, isn't this what Caroline is doing?" Bailiyuan couldn't help but say.
"It's different." Caroline denied, "Pi City only has Hex Technology, but I have more choices and fusion options!"
For Caroline, the fusion of technology and magic can only be regarded as one of research and one of choices. To be precise, what Caroline is doing is the fusion of the technological side and the mysterious side.
Bailiyuan's battle suit and armor were her pinnacle production so far.
But for Caroline, there's room for improvement.
Those formations engraved on the armor still exist, which proves that the integration is not complete and perfect.
Because Caroline encountered some bottlenecks.
This bottleneck cannot be overcome by studying the various powers at hand. Caroline needs to be exposed to and study new powers.
But this does not include HexTech.
Caroline already understands the technology and magic contained in Hex Technology, and she can even easily copy it and develop more and better ones.
After all, Annie and Daisy's home has many appliances with Hex technology, and Caroline can crack the technology by just researching them.
"The integration of technology and magic is not a wrong path, provided that researchers do not go astray." Caroline finally said.
"I hope so."
…
After a visit, Bailiyuan and others saw the scene of a city in another world.
The buildings in Piltover are all extremely tall and magnificent, highlighting their exquisiteness and artistry.
Art statues can be seen everywhere on the streets, and even many technological creations with a sense of art appear in the city.
The chambers of commerce on both sides of the street all highlight wealth.
Most of the residents coming and going are well-dressed, have smiles on their faces, and are well-educated.
"The brilliance brought by abundance, darkness hidden in light, evolution and art coexisting." Shirley commented.
Bailiyuan sighed, "It's so damn good to have money!"
"..." The housekeeper hesitated, but finally realized that what Bailiyuan said was damn right.
Having money is good.
Look what life is like in Piltover.
Let’s take a look at what kind of life Zu An is living.
Perhaps this gap will change in the future, but it is definitely not a simple matter.
The butler took everyone to visit Pi City, not only to show Baili Yuan and others around, but also to let Daisy and Annie get familiar with the city where they would live in the future.
Daisy has fallen in love with the city of Piltover.
Annie felt that they had never been there but could only learn about it from a few words. She was more interested in Zu'an in Lower City.
If you can struggle in chaos and darkness, why can't you dance in flames?
"Butler, let's go to Zaun and have a look." Annie said to the butler.
The housekeeper suddenly didn't know what to do.
"But, miss, it's already evening, this..." the housekeeper hesitated.
Not to mention it was evening, even at other times, the housekeeper didn't want to go to Zu'an.
Zuan?
No dogs are going!
However, he was entertaining guests today, and Anne was still the master's daughter, so she didn't seem to be very talkative.
As soon as the housekeeper hesitated, Anne pouted.
He was about to throw Tibbers at someone.
The housekeeper broke into cold sweat immediately.
Fortunately, someone showed up and rescued the housekeeper.
Still an acquaintance.
It's Caitlin.
Caitlin, wearing a police uniform and carrying a gun on her back, stopped a few people and came from a distance.
"Is it you?"
Arriving in front of everyone, Caitlin frowned as she saw that there were old men, women, and children in the team, with only two perverted strong men, Nutrition Express and Muji.
"It's getting dark soon. Go home early. A perverted killer came to Pi City recently. Now the nights in Pi City are very dangerous!"
I might be a fake Ultraman
