Piltover History

The Phiros Family, craving power and wealth, naturally seized the olive branch extended by Gerral. Gerral, in turn, gained technology and power, thus forming a powerful alliance between the two.

However, Piltover did not become more stable as a result; instead, it became more chaotic due to the intervention of another force— the Gang Alliance.

After the two families joined forces, the Phiros Family established the Piltover Guard, specifically responsible for maintaining order within the city and strictly controlling the movement of Zaun.

Residents of Piltover can travel freely to Zaun, but Zaun must pass through guards to reach Piltover.

As Zaun grew increasingly chaotic, with a series of violent incidents, while influential families moved to Piltover to live a peaceful life, the Zaun Gang Alliance became dissatisfied.

The Gang Alliance was initially founded by the Gerral Family, but it gradually grew stronger and broke free from their control. However, the two sides still maintain close ties.

They learned that Gerral and Ferros had joined forces to develop Zaun, taking its vast wealth while completely ignoring its Zaun situation. They considered this an act of betrayal and secretly sent people to cause trouble.

Such things were quickly exposed, and besides, the Gang Alliance didn't deliberately hide their actions; they just wanted the other side to know their intentions.

The Piltover Guard and the Gang Alliance are irreconcilable enemies. Their conflict has caused severe damage to Piltover, which goes against the original purpose of everyone who moved here. People came here for good order, but now they are fighting each other.

So the Gerral Family stepped in again, and they brought in the leader of the Gang Alliance, the one who had instigated the alliance to break away from Gerral's control: Kalin.

Kalin is neither a first name nor a surname, but rather a title used by the Gang Alliance to refer to core members, generally indicating the leader.

In return for what Gerral offered Kalin, they would allow him and his core members to move to Piltover and manage the city together with Gerral and Ferros.

As for Zaun, it is jointly controlled by the three parties, and one-third of the trade revenue is used for infrastructure construction to prevent serious incidents from occurring.

Kalin agreed. They had only been causing trouble for personal gain, and now that they had gained a higher status and could bring more stability to Zaun, why wouldn't they?

And so, Kalin officially settled in Piltover, and these core members merged into one family. The name Kalin also changed from gang leader to family surname.

The Piltover Police Department is essentially a Kalin Family force, having taken over most of the work previously done by the Piltover Guard, as they have a wider network of connections and can handle Piltover and Zaun affairs more easily.

The Piltover Guard operate covertly, handling matters that are inconvenient for the police.

Gerral continues to handle business matters, contributing his efforts to the development of both Piltover and Zaun.

Thus, the region was officially established as a situation of joint management by the three major families.

Although no government was established, Piltover achieved stability, Zaun developed its own unique rules, trade stabilized, and technology developed rapidly.

While looking at the information and listening to the explanations, I finally understood the history of this place. It wasn't long, but it was fascinating.

It vividly tells the story of how a small fishing village transformed into a world-renowned port and a city of technology over two hundred years.

After various historical materials, there is an exhibition of some more commemorative items, ranging from the simplest gear combinations to extremely complex mechanical devices, which bear witness to the development of Piltover technology.

"Yasuo, come here and take a look!"

Following Riven's voice, I arrived at the center of the hall, where a large crowd had gathered. I went closer to take a look and discovered that this was where the museum's most precious artifact was on display— Primal Crystal.

This crystal shows no signs of breakage; it's a complete rough stone, but it's much smaller than ours, only about a quarter of its original size.

The people's eyes were filled with fervor and obsession, but no one dared to make a move, because there were four guards watching over the place, all of them armed with Hextech weapons, genuine Ferros.

The guide next to me looked at me with admiration. I've seen them like that so many times since I came to Piltover, so it doesn't surprise me anymore.

After viewing the crystal, we visited some robots and other technological products. The conclusion is that these inventions can make life more convenient, but integrating them with Hextech will bring about a qualitative change.

I patted my pockets; this amount of wealth would undoubtedly bring about significant changes here.

I had planned to visit more places today, but I ended up spending the whole day in just one museum, and we weren't even finished exploring it. But after learning about the history and cutting-edge technology, I didn't care about anything else.

Piltover is a city that never sleeps; it remains brightly lit at night, with almost all shops open.

We made an exception and chose a high-end restaurant. I usually dress casually and would be embarrassed to come to a place like this, but today I wore a formal dress.

This is the highest point in Piltover, where you can enjoy the night view while dining. There used to be a waiter, but I wasn't used to it, so I had him leave.

The flashing lights of various colors gave me the illusion of returning to my original world, Riven immediately saw through my thoughts:

Are you homesick?

"A little, the night view here is a bit like my hometown."

Have you ever considered that the technology here might be able to help you?

"Hextech? Perhaps it's quite possible, especially given the abundance of Primal Crystal."

"Do you want to go back?" she asked, her expression somewhat somber.

"Without even thinking about it."

"What kind of talk is that!"

"I want to go back and see, but I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, and I'm even more afraid that you won't be able to come with me."

"I knew you wouldn't want to part with me, hehe."

The more wonderful the time, the less happy I feel, always afraid that one day I'll open my eyes and everything will be gone.

Sigh, I'm overthinking it again. Just focus on enjoying each day! I patted Riven's head. "Let's not talk about this anymore. We can't discuss things we don't understand."

"Yes, who knows what the future holds!"

We went out onto the balcony. The view through the window is never as real as it looks directly. The evening breeze was a bit warm; summer had arrived in Piltover.

Just as I was enjoying myself, I suddenly noticed several figures running in the alley in the distance, seemingly chasing another person.

I asked Riven to take a look, and she had the same thought as me, "I didn't expect Piltover to be so peaceful."

"Let's go take a look; the elegant atmosphere here isn't suitable for us."

"That's what I think too. Let's not come to this kind of restaurant again next time; it makes people feel uneasy."

We didn't say goodbye to the waiter, left two gold coins as a tip, and left through the window.

Although we didn't bring a motorcycle, the buildings here are very dense, and we used our Wind Riding Technique to catch up with a few people very quickly.

We know the person being chased, Casey!
