The incarnation of the wind elf released her embrace, and she glided in front of Reed, a tall, elegant and ethereal woman surrounded by a gentle breeze.
She has long pointed ears, her feet are floating lightly above the ground, her silver hair is fluttering in the wind in the still air, and her azure eyes are refreshing.
This is an ancient existence. She is the incarnation of the wind spirit, born from people's prayers for "wind".
She is different from the original demigods of Freljord. Those demigods were born when humans were still in the wilderness, and they set foot on that land earlier than humans.
The first people to pray to the "wind" were the sailors who often went to sea, as well as the oppressed people who longed for change. They placed all their hopes on the strong winds and turbulence that roared through Runeterra.
Janna is the guardian and changer born out of this emotion. She warns ships before the storm comes and fills the sails of the believers who pray devoutly.
The devout believers call her Jahn Alem, which means "Guardian" in ancient Shurima, because she always appears to save everything in the most critical moments. This is why she was born in prayer.
fundamental in.
Almost all the residents of Oshra Vazuan, this long-existing port city, passionately believe in Janna. They erected statues and shrines to her, even after being annexed by the Shurima Empire.
, and their belief in Janna has not changed.
Even if the emperor of the Shurima Empire promulgated a decree prohibiting the worship of "false gods" and pulled down the statues of Janna one after another, he still could not stop people from quietly praying to Janna in secret. After all, the ascended warriors of the gods could
There is no way to protect a ship from a storm.
People who believe in Janna will wear amulets with blue bird patterns, because the sky-blue blue bird is the original incarnation of Janna. This ancient beacon has been passed down to this day.
"You still haven't changed at all, you are still so beautiful."
Reed smiled and spoke. He rarely praised a woman so sincerely. Well, maybe it wasn't so rare. After all, he had quite a few female friends whose appearance never changed.
"The wind of change is the only constant thing in the world."
Janna blinked and replied jokingly. This is a sentence that is highly praised by history enthusiasts in Valoran and Shurima. It is not a good sentence because the irony of this sentence is very high.
Concentrated, suitable for use in various occasions.
Reed smiled and shook his head. He stretched out a hand to Janna, and Janna grabbed him. The breeze blew gently and quickly rolled them up. The surrounding Zaans had noticed them, so
Can't stay here any longer.
The wind dissipated in the air, and Reed and Janna appeared in a very secret building in the Zaun Trench area.
The architectural style of this strange building is not Zaun at all. It seems to be a dilapidated and abandoned temple. The statue of Janna is placed in it, and the breeze is constantly lingering on it.
Although the statue looked as clean as new, Reed had already estimated its age just by looking at it. The history of this statue must be at least several thousand years old. It perfectly explained what it meant to be "both old and new".
new".
"Maybe you should develop some missionaries, so at least you don't have to stay in such a dilapidated place anymore. You have been protecting Zaun, but this city is forgetting you because they think alchemical science is the future here.
Rather than some ancient legendary god.”
Reed casually sat on an old futon, and then put forward his suggestion to Janna. Although this temple was not popular, it did not have any dust. It could be said to be spotless in the true sense.
Whenever a mortal walks into such a place, they will definitely understand that this is a place where gods exist, because humans cannot do such a thing.
"The people of Zaun remember me. I often hear prayers. Although they live in such a harsh environment, what I hear is not just complaints about life. They are positive and working hard to survive.
They fight against the poisonous fog of Zaun's Gray Haze and against the atrocities of the Alchemist Baron, and I will stand with them."
Janna never gave up on Zaun, although Zuan once forgot about her and was immersed in growing ambitions. They no longer prayed to Janna, but all focused on the mechanisms they designed to fulfill their ambitions.
The Zaun people were eager to open up a sea and land connection between the two continents of Valoran and Shurima. They hoped to dig a canal on the isthmus at their feet, and they did so. As a result, most of Zaun's land was destroyed.
It fell, and thousands of people were trapped in the raging tide and struggled to their death.
It was Janna who saved them. Just like in the past, whenever disaster strikes, they always call out the name of the gods, praying for her to come down from the sky to save them, and Janna will lend a helping hand without hesitation.
She used the air wall formed by the strong wind to block the raging tsunami, allowing people to escape from their homes that sank below the sea level. She saved many people. The survivors remembered her kindness and allowed her to start being used by the Zaan people again.
I remember, but that was already two hundred years ago.
Most of the believers of Janna in Zaun City today are the descendants of the survivors at that time. Although there are not many, and although not every Zaun people believe in the existence of Janna, they are also pious enough. They wear blue bird amulets.
No matter where you are, be respectful to the wind.
"You will always be on the side of humbleness and submissiveness, because few people in high positions believe in the wind of change. What they want more is stable slavery and rule."
Reed was not surprised by Janna's choice. After all, when she was born in the ancient belief of human beings in "wind", her character was already destined to be like this.
The "change" that Janna represents is not chaos, but seeking a better life for the people at the bottom, so there is no doubt that the people of Zaun need her help the most, because there is no place that is more dire than Zaun.
Reed hopes that it will always be like this. Although saying this will make it difficult for the Zaun people to accept it, if one day this "wind of change" really blows throughout Runeterra, it means that the situation may have become very serious.
Oops, Reid hopes that day never comes.
"In recent years, prayers have not only appeared in Zaun, but also in Shurima and Valoran. It seems that many people have recalled the wind of change."
However, Janna's next words immediately broke Reed's fantasy, and the "wind of change" was already quietly blowing.
