To be honest, Catherine's transformation made Rod stunned for a long time.

In Rod's view, Catherine is a somewhat naïve woman who has her own position, but also has a quest for justice and order, and this kind of person should easily be overwhelmed when faced with the conflict between position and pursuit.

So in his original plan, Catherine should have been at a loss, entangled by justice and position, and had to ask herself for help, but now it seems that she has figured it out!

When Catherine went to make coffee, Rod shook his head a little helplessly.

It's probably because Ike, Jinx and other people with missing brains have been with me for a long time, and I subconsciously think that everyone else is at this level.

If you think about it, Catherine's predicament is not difficult at all, and Piltover and Zaun have a lot of common interests, how can she not realize it?

"Looks like our Miss Catherine is going to get rid of those Piltover Stewards?"

"It's not an abandonment, I'm just on the side of the people of Piltover - and I've seen the guys who used their hands and feet to get rid of the right to get away with the trial unhappy, and if you have the ability to give Zaun a reshuffle, maybe Piltover can have a new life."

"It's kind of interesting." Rod nodded, "Looks like you're no longer bound by the letter of the law?" ”

“……”

Catherine was silent.

Rhodes was keenly aware of the key to Catherine's change, and the female officer seemed to have abandoned her clinging to the old order and tried to participate in some changes—which was good news.

"When the law itself is wrong or there are loopholes that cannot be improved, I choose justice."

Catherine's answer was slow but firm, and it was clear that the words meant a lot to her.

Rod is also very clear that Catherine can temporarily avoid these constraints, courage is already very rare, not everyone is as unafraid as himself.

"But your power alone is very limited, and even in Piltover almost no one listens to your words except for the hapless criminals." Rod was not moved by this pride, but asked an extremely realistic question, "I can make waves in Zaun, but what can you do alone in Piltover?" ”

“……”

Catherine stopped talking, and that was the point she had always been most powerless.

Even if you know what path you should take, that's just knowing.

In terms of specific action, the difficulty is not ordinary!

You know, Zaun is a city that "can't be worse", so Rhodes can toss as much as he wants, but although the current Piltover has serious academic corruption, regional discrimination is becoming more and more serious, high-level parties are selfish, and science and technology have a tendency to stagnate, but on the whole, everyone is doing well, and Catherine cannot rashly disrupt the order here.

Crucially, the dispossessed Zauns were ready to rebel, so it was easy for Rhodes to rally a force that belonged to the common people - but Mrs. Piltworth didn't.

Despite the hierarchical hierarchy of Piltover, the political corruption of the upper echelons, and the dominance of the elite, they were completely well-fed to the people - although Mrs. Piltward's patents could be easily plundered, and some crimes would be escaped because of the complicity of lawyers and judges, Mrs. Piltworth could live and be fed and clothed in any case.

As for whether one day Piltover will lose its core competitiveness and be annexed by other countries...... So who knows?

Piltover's old book is still quite thick, and with the fact that he can suck Zuan's blood, this decay is a trend after all.

In this case, Catherine can only be in a hurry - although everything is there and exists, but without actual evidence, who cares about your alarmism?

As Mrs. Piltover, why should I give up all kinds of free benefits to find order and justice with you, and to improve Piltover's core competitiveness?

Catherine asked herself if she couldn't find a way.

But Rhodes is different.

In Rhodes' view, Piltover is like a ready-made, grease-drenched, but unlit bonfire, where the soil for change is nurtured, but no one realizes it.

So, when Rod said he had a way, Catherine was really surprised.

But while Catherine was listening, Rhodes told a not-so-good way - blockade Piltover.

"If there is a problem with the material supply of Pitz, then those who think they are the upper class will soon realize what their position is in this city—I believe that there is no shortage of enterprising and adventurous elements in Mrs. Piltworth's blood, and when everyone sees the reality, the old diehards will not have a chance to continue their wielding."

This statement almost made Catherine can't help but slap her round!

The truth is that if Piltover really faced the blockade, the bankers and the students would indeed tear off their hypocritical masks and expose their ugly faces to everyone.

But this premise is completely untenable!

You know, in order to achieve the level of lockdown that Rhodes said, I'm afraid that the entire Piltover dock needs to be completely blocked, and this is obviously impossible!

Piltover is the most prosperous commercial port in the whole of Valoran!

After completing the Piltover Canal, which connects the Sea of Watch and the Sea of Conquest, it is almost like the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, and it is an absolute transportation artery!

So even Mrs. Piltworth didn't dare to interfere too much with the passing ships, for you couldn't guess what kind of big man was hiding on a seemingly unforgiving ship.

And now, Rhodes actually said that he was going to block the Piltover dock for a while?

This means that the entire Piltover Canal will be out of service, and the pressure he will face will be really terrible to think about!

Catherine didn't think Rhodes would be able to find a way, much less that Rhodes would be able to resist the pressure.

"Unless you're a god......," Catherine muttered subconsciously, "no one can do that." ”

"Of course I'm not a god." Rod looked at Catherine, who was hit violently again, and finally brought the conversation back to his own rhythm again, "But I know that there is such a god who can help us with this......"

As he spoke, Rod took out a string of wind chimes from his arms, he opened the window, and hung the wind chimes on the window, a breeze blew, and the ceramic fishbone-shaped wind chimes moved with the wind, making a pleasant sound.

————————

Piltover is in a way like the financially bankrupt country next to the Aegean Sea of the Blue Star - but relatively speaking, Piethorn is in a better state, after all, the foundation is thick, and there is a Zuan cushion.

But a lot of social welfare and political corruption at the top kept the city in a state of emptiness, and the progress of Hextech began to stagnate.

Also, guess who the god Rhodes is talking about?
