348 -341- Seraphine appears on the scene
West, Demacia.
In the magnificent square, amidst the bustling crowd, on a high platform, under a simple sunshade, Jarven III sat calmly on a chair, resting his eyes.
The murmurs of many ministers could be heard in his ears.
Are they anticipating? Of course they are.
You see, among these ministers, many of their offspring are currently studying in the Twin Cities. Therefore, they even fantasize about seeing their children's figures on that pitch-black screen, which is twenty meters wide and fifty meters long.
Since the people of the Twin Cities say that this screen can transmit images, then it must be possible. Now, the people of Demacia are deeply influenced by Hextech technology, so they will not doubt the technology of the Twin Cities.
"How much longer?"
After resting for a while, Jarven III opened his eyes and waved his hand.
Tianna walked up a few steps and stood beside Jarven III, holding a sword and looking at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, ten minutes." Tianna said solemnly.
On the side, several mages were using magic to create frost, cooling Jarven III from the heat.
And in the grand square, there were also many mages performing similar actions.
This was a scorching summer day, even in the vicinity of Freljord, Demacia was unbearable.
Therefore, nearly a hundred thousand people squeezed together. If they didn't cool down, it wouldn't be long before someone collapsed from heatstroke.
And this is where the mages come in handy, the elementalists play their role.
Wouldn't the mages get tired from using up their mana like this? Of course they would.
But at this moment, they were extremely happy because the people of Demacia needed their help, and they were now demonstrating their abilities under the sun.
In the past, would anyone dare to perform magic in front of so many people? That would surely lead to death!
Yes, Jarven III did what he said. After executing several stubborn nobles, no one dared to oppose Jarven III's plan anymore. At this time, the people of Demacia realized that Jarven III was indeed a gentle and kind emperor, but an emperor was still an emperor.
No one could defy his will. Anyone who dared to challenge his authority would know the iron-fisted rule of Jarven III.
And Tianna's husband—the captain of the mage seekers—even if he had grievances, his voice was like a drop in the ocean, silenced by Tianna.
Now, the people of Demacia were united, healing the wounds of the past.
"It's almost time."
"We can really see images and hear sounds on that screen?"
"Of course, do you doubt the technology of the Twin Cities?"
Voices came from the crowd.
At the same time—in Bel'zhun, Shurima.
This port city that was once surrendered to Noxus now belonged more to the Twin Cities than to Noxus. However, the Twin Cities never admitted this, so this place became a neutral city-state.
Well, the surrounding tribes and countries of Shurima believed that Bel'zhun belonged to the Twin Cities. Now even the residents of Bel'zhun think so.
Who wouldn't want to be associated with the Twin Cities? Over the years, as Bel'zhun aligned with the Twin Cities, its economy has greatly improved. In one year, it has achieved what it used to take ten years to achieve, and now they can also benefit from some of the good technology of the Twin Cities.
Therefore, becoming a subsidiary city of the Twin Cities, they are naturally willing.
What about the people of Noxus?
In the year 984, the people of Noxus were already driven out.
At this moment, many desert dwellers in Bel'zhun were wearing sun-protective clothes, standing or sitting in front of the sandstone clock tower in Shurima, and those who had found a good spot were all looking up at a black screen embedded in the sandstone clock tower. This was a large screen about ten meters long and several meters wide, not comparable to the one in Demacia, of course.
But this was normal. The residents of Bel'zhun, this port city, were fewer than ten thousand, but Demacia? Just one grand square could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, so of course the sizes were different.
No matter how wealthy the Twin Cities were, they couldn't afford to squander. These expenditures of manpower, material resources, and financial resources were enormous. Therefore, the size of the screens built by the Twin Cities in different countries and tribes was also different.
"It's about to start, hurry up and find a good spot!"
"Ako, move aside quickly, you're blocking my view."
"Ice-cold black wheat beer, ten coppers a cup, four large cups for thirty coppers. Don't you want a cup in this hot weather?!"
------
Freljord—Avarosa.
In the icy and snowy land, clouds obscured the sun, so FrostStone lit a bonfire with a group of people in the afternoon, sitting around eating delicious food.
One Elnuk could exchange for more than a thousand pounds of food.
The trades that Avarosa made were not just "grain."
Fruits, dried meat, canned food, bread, drinks
These foods were not easy to come by for the people of Avarosa, especially cold drinks, which were more favored by children and women than alcoholic drinks.
And now, they could eat these every day.
At this moment, in the tribes of Avarosa, nearly a hundred huge bonfires were lit, and nearly ten thousand people stood or sat, all looking up at a black screen embedded in the icebergs. It was about thirty meters long and about ten meters wide.
"Is it about to start?"
"It seems so."
"How is it on the side of the Winter's Claw?"
"I went to see last time. The screens of the Winter's Claw tribe are slightly smaller than ours, but they must be watching now."
FrostStone drank barley wine, holding a cigar between his fingers, and leaned back comfortably.
Then,
"Di!"
A sound echoed in the ears of everyone in Avarosa.
The volume of the sound heard by each person was the same, or, within this range of nearly ten kilometers, the volume heard by each person was the same.
This is the charm of Hextech technology. Seraphine used this technology when she sang, and now, every television is equipped with this technology.
"It's about to start!"
FrostStone gripped the bottle tightly, his eyes widened.
The black screen displayed gray bars, accompanied by a sizzling sound that was deafening.
"What are we looking at!"
"My ears hurt!"
Some people complained discontentedly.
Didn't the enforcers of the Twin Cities say that we could see people? Where are they?
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle."
"Hello, Hello?"
"There's sound!" Someone stood up and exclaimed.
------
"Good afternoon, friends from all over the world."
Behind Jarven III, Tianna tightened her sword. The marshal's heart was extremely shocked, but her face pretended to be calm.
Of course, she couldn't be like the people of Demacia, looking at the screen with shock.
———
"I am Seraphine, and I am glad to see you all here."
"In this program, I will briefly introduce the tournament format for everyone on behalf of the Twin Cities."
Seraphine smiled, looking at the camera, her eyes seemingly sparkling.
Anyone who saw her was amazed by her appearance.
But soon, they inexplicably calmed down, feeling a sense of pleasure in their hearts.
As if...
Her voice carried magic!
