Zaun and Piltover.

The sky looks extremely blue today.

The breeze summoned by the wind leaders with their divine power dispersed the alchemical exhaust gas and industrial smog over the city.

New Zaun's landmark building, Jade Bird Plaza, has several times more visitors than usual. They include fashionably dressed people from the two cities, as well as foreign brothers with different skin colors and different clothes, who are obviously from all over the world.

The place was a little crowded, but it still couldn't stop the smiles on people's faces.

There were many of them but they were not chaotic. Everyone followed the guidance of the incarnation of the blue bird and stood in the appropriate position in an orderly manner, waiting for the prelude of a grand event to begin.

And among the crowds, in the open Blue Bird Square, stands a set of pure white statues made by Demacia's master sculptures - the protagonists of the statues are those who have sacrificed their lives all over the world.

The heroic people who fought against the undead invasion.

Flowers carefully cultivated by Ionian wood weavers are blooming in every corner of the square and in every flower bed.

Brand-new bluebird flags stretch freely in the wind amid the bustling crowds and flourishing flowers.

All of this indicates that today is extraordinary.

"Warmly celebrate the establishment of the Janna Dominion Alliance in Runeterra, and warmly welcome comrades from all over the world!"

The slogans hanging in the square said it all.

Today's grand gatherings in Zaun and Piltover are the birthday parties of this great alliance.

Although Janna's main Yi alliance has been officially established for some time, it is a bit late to celebrate his birthday now.

However, due to the fact that both Demacia and Noxus suddenly changed their banners and transformed from kingdoms/empires with a strong nationalist atmosphere to Janna's dominant country, many people in the country could not accept the drastic change of "subjugation".

, there will inevitably be some turmoil.

Therefore, the leaders decided to let the comrades of the participating countries focus on handling their own affairs first.

When the situation stabilizes and the world is at peace, we will hold this grand party again.

On this day, representatives of leaders from all over the world will gather in Zaun and Piltover to witness with their own eyes this unprecedented and unprecedented event that unites all mankind.

The ceremony has not officially started yet.

But Levi, Victor, Mel Myrdalda and other central council members, as today's protagonists, have arrived at the scene in advance.

"Isn't this a bit too extravagant?" Looking at the grand scene in front of him, Levi couldn't help but sigh.

In order to prepare for today's grand event, the leader even repainted the Hinomon Sea Gate not far away as the background of the ceremony.

At first glance, it looked so magnificent that I almost hung the silk on the tree.

Not only that, the Wind Leader also invited a group of mages from Noxus to create a dazzling and colorful illusion of a huge blue bird above the venue, adding momentum to the opening of this event.

The etiquette, reception, and security at the scene are all made up of one-in-a-million, graceful beauties...

Oh, they were all played by LeBlanc alone.

That's okay.

But in general, the Twin Cities have never been presented to the world in such a gorgeous manner before.

"This seems... to be a bit formalistic." Not only Li Wei, but Victor also secretly muttered.

One of them is the president and the other is the vice president. Of course, they will not personally be responsible for the specific arrangements of this ceremony.

These specific planning and preparations are all the responsibility of the celebration preparatory committee temporarily established by the General Assembly, as well as the capital municipal departments of Zaun and Piltover.

They just signed and agreed to start a big one.

I didn’t expect that it would be so big when implemented next.

"What do you think, Mel?" Levi did not make more comments based on his personal likes and dislikes. Instead, he habitually asked Mel and other members of the board of directors for their opinions.

"You want me to see it..." Mel smiled and looked at Levi and Victor.

True leaders don't bother to hide their opinions.

With the true unity brought by the thread of faith, the leaders do not need to consider favors or face when speaking, and do not need to be cautious and walk on thin ice to maintain the appearance of harmony.

So, she made a blunt suggestion: "President, Vice President, it's time to get rid of the philistine mentality in you."

"The significance of this celebration has been demonstrated during our meeting -"

"Think about it, what kind of situation are we facing?"

"It is said that with the establishment of the Janna Dominion Alliance in Runeterra, mankind will usher in true great unity, but in fact? Has the great unity of all mankind really arrived?"

of course not.

"There are Demacians, Noxians, and Ionians in our alliance."

"They have all aroused a strong national consciousness in successive years of war. They are proud of their cultural traditions and national spirit, and they hate each other, accumulating blood debts that are difficult to resolve."

"There are also Baru, Shuriman, and Freljord in our alliance."

"They had even been living in a primitive tribal society before. In their eyes, they only had tribes, not countries, let alone an alliance of all mankind that transcended countries and nations."

"We also have Zaun and Piltover people in our alliance."

"These citizens, who were the first to enter modernization and became wealthy first, will instinctively despise those latecomers, those foreign farmers who are 'ignorant and backward' and 'rude and rude'."

"..."

Mel talked a lot.

Her meaning is clear. The Windleader has unified Runeterra, but humanity is far from united.

If the Windleader's organization suddenly disappears from this world, then Demacia can turn back to Demacia the next day, and Noxus can turn back to Noxus, and then pick up the hatred of the past and pick up

The mutual disdain and estrangement between them have aggravated each other.

Meyer's conclusion is: "It is not that simple to shape the common recognition of the Janna Lord Yi Alliance among all mankind."

"So what should we do? How can we truly unite people of different races and civilizations who are so separated from each other?"

“Where to start?”

This is a grand proposition. If we really discuss it, it would probably be enough for scholars in the two cities to fill a room with papers.

But the simplest way is:

"Hold a grand celebration so that all mankind can celebrate the same festival."

"So we can't feel bad about the small money. If we want to do it, we can do it big. We strive to make this first alliance celebration a grand event for all mankind, and broadcast this scene to every corner of Runeterra through Hex projectors and magicians.

, so that everyone can deeply remember this day and join in the carnival of this prosperous age."

Levi and Victor were silent for a while.

Then, they all said frankly: "Comrade Meier, you are right. This time we thought about the problem too narrowly."

"It's good if you can figure it out." Seeing Levi and Victor admit their mistakes, Mel couldn't help but smile.

She likes the discussion atmosphere of being a leader.

This scene would never have appeared in any previous kingdom or group.

No matter how humbly a leader accepts advice, he will not like subordinates who sharply criticize their superiors or colleagues who insist on expressing their opinions directly. Gradually, few people are willing to express dissent.

But leaders are different.

Leaders pursue the truth, and the truth becomes clearer with more debate.

Li Wei knew that he was just a small citizen in the past, and Victor only knew that he was just a scientist who was deaf to outside world. They both have their own limitations in thinking about problems.

Correspondingly, Mel also knows that she was a successful entrepreneur in the past, and her understanding of the world is also bound by her past experiences.

On many issues, she also had to humbly adopt the opinions of Li Wei and others.

"Actually..." Mel followed Levi and others towards the rostrum opposite Jade Bird Square and made a suggestion while the iron was hot: "I feel that just holding this alliance celebration is not enough."

"It would be best to hold more of these man-made celebrations that can be celebrated by all mankind."

"It's a pity... In addition to the Alliance's birthday celebration, Labor Day, and the Memorial Day of the Underworld War, I can't think of any other festival that can be accepted by all mankind at the same time."

As he said that, Mel looked at Levi half-jokingly:

"President Levi, if it doesn't work out, why don't you sacrifice yourself?"

"Aren't you going to marry Miss Seraphine soon? How about we organize a big wedding for you?"

"No, no, no, no." Li Wei quickly refused.

Each kingdom in Runeterra had a tradition of celebrating the king's wedding to unite people's hearts.

But he is not a king, and he does not have the status of the royal family in the hearts of the people in a traditional monarchy country.

Because the leader really has a goddess there.

Therefore, even if the common people really want to thank the savior and find a statue to worship, they will only worship Janna, not him.

In fact, except for the Zuan people, they would be more grateful and admired Li Wei who personally brought them out of the sea of ​​suffering...

People in other areas only have an impression of Levi as Janna's chosen one and the goddess's "summoned beast".

Li Wei was also happy to see this.
