The Buville family's mansion is located on the west side of Xiongdu, close to the large seaport Haven Cliff and some distance from Dawn Castle.
If you drive, it will take at least one and a half to two hours to get there.
It was still early today, and Li Lin just wanted to take a stroll around Xiongdu and experience the local customs and culture.
Although Li Lin had used a drone to preview the entire city-state structure as early as when he entered Xiongdu, the personal experience was completely different from the rough browsing feeling.
The winter in Demacia is cold, and the same is true in the capital city on the west coast of Valoran, near the Conqueror's Sea.
In the early morning, the rising sun could not dispel the severe cold of the night, but the small vendors who needed to make a living had no choice but to go to the early market. While blowing hot air into the palms of their coarse gloves, they whispered prayers to the winged guardian god, praying that they could sell more goods today.
This was during a relatively peaceful era, and the people were "qualified" to live in Demacia.
It is hard to imagine what the living standards of civilians would be like during the hundreds of years of frequent wars with Noxus in the past, and in the future when they encounter the Mage Rebellion and the Curse of Ruin.
Li Lin, who was walking silently on the street, couldn't help but think of Piltover and Zaun two years ago when he saw this.
The middle and lower class "social animal employees" in the upper city are busy trying to make a living, and can barely make enough for food, clothing and transportation in a month.
Not to mention the people of Dicheng, finding a job that barely provides enough food and clothing but is extremely harmful to the body is considered a great achievement...
However, the twin cities are now thriving. With the protection of Li Lin and the wind goddess Janna, they will basically maintain long-term peace and stability except for the threat from the void.
Demacia has changed a lot under the rule of Jarvan III compared to when he first ascended the throne.
In addition, if Morgana is willing to return and the reform of the magic ban goes smoothly, Demacia will be able to make adequate preparations to deal with future world crises as early as possible.
Demacia will be the first ally that Li Lin will seek, and the next will be Shurima.
But since he wants to form an alliance, he represents not only the Gilaman family, but the entire Piltover and even Zaun.
In addition, his identity is rather special, and Noxus may think that Piltover is no longer neutral, which would be difficult to explain to the Piltover Council.
Except for Kalina, Heimerdinger and Mel, the other four senators are too short-sighted and don't know much about the Void. They probably won't understand the purpose of the alliance.
But if we can get Camille's support, the two cities will probably not be a problem.
As for what Swain, who can predict the future, would think...
Li Lin's whereabouts are still unknown.
After all, Noxus is still mired in the rebellion of the major city-states within the realm and has not yet completely stabilized.
If the empire is completely stable, he still has to figure out how to make Demacia and Noxus, two countries with a century-old feud, put aside their differences and agree to form an alliance.
Not only that, he also had to be wary of Swain sending war masons to sneak into Piltover.
It seems that only a world crisis like the Curse of the Ruin or the even more severe Return of the Dead can drive all people on the Valoran continent to truly unite.
"The union of Valoran is a problem. In Freljord, Warmother Ashe of the Avarosan tribe should be easy to talk to, but Warmother Sejuani of the Winter Claw tribe is difficult to approach, not to mention Lissandra of the Frostguard..."
If it had not really come to the last moment, Li Lin really did not want to have anything to do with this "guide" who almost caused the entire Rune Land to be swallowed by the Void Watcher for the sake of power.
The demigods don't even have to think about it.
Ornn, the incarnation of fire, is rather aloof and tsundere, so he will only intervene in matters concerning his followers.
Volibear, the embodiment of thunder and storm, has a bad temper. He wants to return humans to primitive society and bring war to him. He is not someone who can be communicated with.
As for Anivia, she once fought against the Void-infected Huolin, and died together with them and turned into an egg. I wonder if she has been reborn now.
"However, the Winter's Claw has been in conflict with Noxus for the past two years, and even held Darius captive for a while. In the past few years, they've also frequently raided the Demacia border... Sigh, it's difficult to deal with."
Li Lin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Since Freljord is a problem, let's turn our attention to Ionia.
He automatically ignored Bilgewater in the Blue Flame Islands.
The current person in charge, Gangplank, known as the "Disaster of the Sea", is out of the question. The only ones who can be communicated with are Sarah Doom, who is still a bounty hunter, and the local Baru people who believe in Nagakabouros.
But Sarah is just an ordinary person. She is good at spear skills, but she is probably not as good as Caitlyn. She is considered the lowest combat effectiveness among the "heroes" in the entire Runeterra.
As for the Baru people's sea beast priest, Oroin the True One of Nagakabouros, he will probably only have the opportunity to come into contact with him when the Curse of Ruin comes.
"Well... Ionia's leader, Irelia, should have given up her leadership position. Now the entire Ionia should be under the control of the Shadow Sect and the former Twilight Eye, who founded the Navori Brotherhood and faked his death to retreat behind the scenes.
"Zed isn't a problem, he just has a somewhat aggressive personality. Ku said he's probably been corrupted by the 'Tears of Shadow', the source of Shadow Stream's shadow magic. He can't be trusted.
"Shen, the new Eye of Twilight of the Kinkou, may be a bit rigid in his dealings with others, but maintaining the balance between Ionia's material and spiritual realms is indeed extremely important. Furthermore, the Void's goal is to devour everything, so he can't help but take action.
