Chapter 61 The shrine lost its care
"Li Ke, where are you going?"
"This wind is really strange. This is a rare sunny day. Don't you plan to stay and see more?"
Seeing Li Ke suddenly leaving, Hilko said immediately.
He didn't know what this gust of wind was about until now, but despite being shocked, Hilko was more excited and happy.
This gust of wind has blown away the haze of Zaun, and also the long-standing depression of the Zaun people. After not seeing the sun for a long time, the mood will inevitably become lost and gloomy. Although the Zaun people have been in the This place, but if you say you are used to it, it is really impossible.
Because Piltover above is a comparison. It is extremely prosperous, full of sunshine, harmonious and beautiful. Piltover is like the big stone hanging over the heart of Zaun. Hanging there, it will knock the ancestors from time to time. Peaceful to the soul.
As a result, the water pipe work was completed, the air purifier was working, and the sun was visible again. Even the calm Hilko showed a big smile.
"I have something else to do." Li Ke turned around, looked at Hilko, thought for a while and added: "Also, Hilko, this wind is not surprising at all, we deserve it."< br>
"What?" Hilko was stunned, but Li Ke had already turned around and left.
Of course Li Ke had to leave, because Janna's appearance was completely beyond Li Ke's expectations, not to mention that Li Ke could now feel the wind guiding him.
Maybe Janna wants to talk to him too?
After Li Ke left, Hilko lowered his eyes and thought about what Li Ke said. He was confused. What does it mean, what we deserve?
First, what is deserved?
Hilko believes that this is a complimentary word, because after hard work, the results obtained are in line with the efforts. Only in this exchange can it be called deserved.
But this is a transaction. Since there is a transaction, there must be a transaction object.
Therefore, we deserve this wind.
Hilko was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but tighten his hands on his pants, his eyes full of shock.
"Janna?"
His lips moved, and a name he had almost forgotten was spit out.
That is the patron saint of Zaun, and it was the belief of the Zuan people in the past, but I don’t know since when, the number of Zaun people who believe in Janna has become less and less.
The birth of technology, the constant updating and replacement of tools that changed people's lives, and the improvement of economic levels gradually made people in the two cities forget this name. Zaun can still remember it because there are people in Zaun who have always been praising Janna. The stories they passed on orally kept Janna from completely disappearing into Zaun.
Silko read a book, which recorded many historical documents about Janna. Many Zaun people proved that they had seen Janna with their own eyes and received her help. In that book, Janna There were three upheavals and appearances of this deity.
One was thousands of years ago, when the country known as Shurima eliminated Janna's shrines on a large scale and launched a large-scale campaign to reject belief in false gods. The other was five hundred years ago, when there was no Piltover. , there is only the city of Zaun. Although the people of Picheng say that it is unofficial history and do not admit it, it is clearly recorded in the documents——
Piltover and Zaun were once one, but were divided into two halves. The emergence of science gave the Zaun people no time to believe in Janna. They began a large-scale maritime construction. At that time, The Zaun people tried to build a shipping channel that would connect the continents of Valoran and Shurima, and they invested huge amounts of money, manpower, and time in this effort.
People began to pay attention to the things in front of them and put their dreams into their own hands and the design of the institutions in front of them.
Janna received fewer prayers and gradually faded into history.
The third time was the Grand Canal incident, which was also the story that Hilko believed the least.
Due to the excavation of the canal, an area of Zaun sank to the sea level on the west side, which formed the current Zaun. In that disaster, thousands of people fell into the turbulent sea, with falling buildings and rubble above their heads. , they struggled to the death.
At this time, someone called Janna, and then Janna appeared, and most of the Zaun people were rescued. Afterward, they claimed to have seen the white god.
This is probably the biggest reason why there are still people in Zaun who believe in Janna.
However, Hilko didn't believe it.
Because if there really is Janna, a spirit who loves the Zaun people and protects the Zaun people, then where was she when they were oppressed by the Piltover people and lived a dark life in the mines just to survive?
Hilko's eyes were complicated and he shook his head in disbelief. "Janna? Wait, Hilko, do you still believe this?" Jinx's voice sounded from the side.
Hilko turned her head and saw Jinx pressing the big ball with both hands, looking at him with curiosity on her face.
Jinx, who has a slender waist and long legs, and excellent body proportions, bent over and looked up at Hilko’s face, and continued:
"Janna, the legendary wind spirit, but isn't that just a story?"
"Yeah, that's a story." Hilko nodded.
"Janna's shrine can no longer be found. In the past, we could still see some wall paintings, but now we can't even see the wall paintings." Jinx thought for a while and added.
"But if you believe in Janna, Hilko, I know where wooden signs for Janna believers are sold. I hope that many people in the community believe in Janna, and I can buy some for you."
Hilko shook his head, and then he suddenly said strangely: "Wait, Jinx, did you just say buy it?"
"Otherwise?" Jinx stood up straight and blinked. The big balls on her head had been completely blown away, and her blue hair was blowing in the wind. She simply ignored it. Jinx was really worried. The worst could happen. Cut it!
"You used to have your eye on things, but you always robbed and stole them. I never thought that the word "buy" would come out of your mouth one day."
"I am a law-abiding citizen now." Jinx said, patting her non-existent chest.
"By the way, where is Li Ke?"

"He was temporarily busy," Hilko said.
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know."
"Then how long has he been gone? Is it too late for me to chase him now?"
"I said, I don't know." Hilko suddenly became impatient.
At the same time, Li Ke came to a high ground in the dark alley. At the top of the house, Li Ke stretched out his hand to push open the dusty fence and looked at the scene that appeared in front of him——
He followed the guidance of the wind and came here. Li Ke himself was very worried.
He was afraid that he had misunderstood what Janna meant, but Li Ke came anyway.
After all, who knows when the next time I want to "see" Janna and hear Janna's voice will be.
In front of him was a small attic room. It looked like no one had been there for a long time. When Li Ke pushed open the fence, dust came from the pavement. In this small room of less than two square meters, the There is a strange wooden shrine and a portrait.
The woman in the portrait has a slender body, wearing a long white skirt, and holding a long green wooden staff. Her face is artificially blurred, but she has a pair of pointed ears.
The portrait was placed on a shrine. The shrine was not big, only thirty centimeters in diameter. There was a wooden sign in the middle with strange symbols engraved on it.
Li Ke felt the subtle energy in the air, which was similar to the soul energy in the Soul Lotus, but different at the same time. He pursed his lips.
"Janna?" he said.
"I'm here," she said.
