Capítulo 107: -105- Goddess Janna
"God?"
Camille, upon hearing Linwin's words, looked at him and calmly said, "True, I can understand. After all, children tend to believe in these things. You really are adorable and naive."
"You don't believe me?" Linwin questioned Camille.
"Zaunites always boast about being protected by the goddess Janna, but I've never seen her intervene. I've lived much longer than you, and I've witnessed stranger things than you've had meals. You people keep talking about the explosion three hundred years ago, claiming that the Zaunites saw her with their own eyes, and that's how her legacy persists. You describe 'miracles' like Janna blowing away the poisonous gas from the explosion, overturning giant rocks, and using the power of wind to protect most Zaunites. But... where is she now?"
"Do any of you have genuinely seen her?"
Camille, of course, knew who Linwin referred to as a god. It was the myth of Zaun, the goddess of wind—Janna.
A belief that originated in Zaun long before it became part of the Shuriman Empire. Her existence spanned thousands of years, sailors claimed to have seen her, soldiers too, as well as the wanderers who missed home.
Everyone said they had seen this goddess, but no one could provide real evidence. Linwin looked at Camille strangely.
The problem is, the things you mentioned are indeed deeds of Janna!
Silco, pulling Linwin's arm, looked at him with a headache. "You were always eccentric since you were a child, but now, how can you still be like this?"
"Are you going to believe in these fairy tales like some of the Zaunites?"
Silco wasn't defending Camille; he genuinely considered the so-called gods to be false, fabricated.
He certainly knew of Janna in Zaun—no Zaunite could be unaware of the goddess Janna. However, believing in this deity was a different matter.
At least, Silco didn't believe in gods.
In his view, gods were an excuse for the weak, using miracles to replace the excuses of weakness and laziness.
Because of their incompetence and laziness, they placed their hopes in gods, expecting miracles to improve their lives.
It was the last resort of the incapable.
"What about you Vander? Do you also not believe?"
Linwin looked at Silco strangely, thinking that this guy, who brainwashes people every day, would be the most believing in gods among those present.
What about Vander? Linwin suddenly became curious.
"I believe, but I also don't believe."
Vander stood tall with crossed arms and said in a deep voice, "The reason I believe is that in moments of despair, her existence can bring motivation and hope to the people of Zaun. The reason I don't believe is that if I truly believe in her existence, it will only make me weak."
Linwin was astonished.
Unexpectedly, Vander was a philosopher?
I believe, but I also don't believe? What kind of weird literature is this?"
"How about you Sevika? How do you look at it?"
Sevika placed her fist in front of her, cleared her throat gently, and said, "Me?"
"Yes, do you believe in the existence of the goddess Janna?"
Sevika nodded and took out a small wooden charm with a bird pattern, a look of piety on her face. "I will forever believe in the existence of Janna because when I was young..."
"Alright, I know you believe. You don't need to tell your story."
Linwin concluded, "So, now other than Camille, Silco. We are now three votes to one."
"Vander's vote doesn't count," Silco said in a deep voice.
"So, it's two votes to one; both Sevika and I believe."
Sevika: "..."
She wondered why Linwin interrupted her earlier.
Wasn't her input important?
As Linwin was about to speak again, Vander suddenly raised his hand, walked over to Silco, and said, "Linwin, I don't believe anymore."
"Does that mean two votes against two? It's a tie?" Linwin raised an eyebrow.
Linwin understood Vander's sudden alignment with Silco. Having faith in adversity was beneficial, providing a glimmer of hope to the desperate. However, in times of prosperity, it was better not to overly rely on such illusions.
Zaun was currently in the spotlight, and as a leader, Vander naturally chose not to believe. He had to be responsible for the people of Zaun. At least, what was making Zaun better now wasn't gods, but the united Zaunites.
"Never mind, unless you truly see it, you won't believe," Linwin sighed.
"Silco, you've been asking me why I don't want to attack Piltover. Today, I'll tell you the reason, fulfilling your wish from these years."
"Watch."
Linwin said, spreading his arms. Without wind, he began to float in mid-air.
Silco, Vander, and Sevika stared with widened eyes.
Linwin was flying? Although flying was not difficult for the current Zaunites with Hextech hoverboards, Linwin wasn't using one!
He floated effortlessly?
Camille observed Linwin and remarked, "You and she are similar. You both have magic."
She referred to Kai'Sa, who was also quite capable.
"Silco, Vander, Janna exists, and she has always been protecting us."
"Today, I'll let you see her."
Linwin closed his eyes, extended his hand, lightly tapped the empty space in front of him, and whispered as if summoning something.
The others tried to listen to Linwin's words.
At the next moment, they all made weird expressions.
"Come out quickly."
"Hurry up! Don't be shy. If you don't come out now, you won't have such a good chance later."
"It's not your fault, Janna. Although you are powerful, you can't help everyone."
"If you don't come out today, the future believers will gradually decrease."
"Look, Janna. If you still don't come out today, the number of people who believe in you will decrease."
"You can't always look back. The deaths of thousands are not your fault. You've tried hard, and you've saved many people."
Linwin, with closed eyes, floated in mid-air, kept murmuring.
Silco, Vander, and Sevika looked at Linwin, who seemed to be acting like a shaman, and fell into contemplation.
Should they say they believe? Look at Linwin; is he going crazy?
Sevika, on the other hand, had a different expression. She looked down at the wooden charm in her hand—a wooden charm with the appearance of a blue bird. At this moment, Sevika's charm unexpectedly emitted a color!
"Vander, Vander!"
Sevika, holding the charm, said to Silco and Vander in surprise.
"This—!"
Vander looked at Sevika's held charm. The little bird-shaped charm was emitting a faint blue light, and it looked charmingly verdant.
When Linwin opened his eyes, smiling, he descended to the ground, bowed, and pointed to the side, saying with a respectful tone, "She's here."
At that moment, a strange warm wind blew into the closed room.
It was a warm wind.
Camille was also enveloped in this warm wind.
The warm feeling made Camille feel like a gentle hand was caressing her cheek.
She felt the long-lost warmth.
With a puzzled and doubtful look, she stared at Linwin's side.
There, a blue bird appeared.
It was gazing at Silco and Vander, flapping its wings.
"Sorry."
The bird spoke.
Silco: "..."
Vander: "G-Goddess Janna?"
Linwin extended his hand, and the blue bird perched on Linwin's hand.
"You finally came out."
