Chapter 1225: Hidden but Not Revealed
This Mr. Takeda is none other than the Takeda Saito, who once served as an alchemy baron in Zaun and fled directly back to Ionia during the Zaun Revolution.
And the identity of this person invited by him is even more special - after the Navoli Brotherhood went to split, the situation of the Big Three has emerged, and this tall man is now the highest "spiritual shield" among the "Navoli Three", Cole.
Cole's presence left everyone in attendance dumbfounded.
You must know that although the current Navoli Brotherhood is about to become a specialized black glove and terrorist organization, the official has not been able to characterize it for a long time, and the main reason is that this spirit shield, he is known as "the greatest hero in the defense of Ionia", and his prestige among the people is not even less than that of Miss Irelia.
As for the reason......
Cole once swore that he would always be the first to charge and the last to retreat from the Navoli Brotherhood, and during the war, he fully fulfilled his promise, fighting dozens of battles, large and small, regardless of the situation of the enemy and the enemy, always charging in front and retreating behind, I don't know how many times he narrowly escaped his life.
If it weren't for the fact that this spirit shield didn't care about anything but fighting, I'm afraid he would really have a chance to compete with Irelia for the position of leader!
And in the same way, it is precisely because of this spirit shield that the Navoli Brotherhood is not an officially defined terrorist organization so far - this spirit shield is too righteous, he tries to suppress the problems within the Navoli Brotherhood, but it is often illegal, and interestingly, because of his existence and efforts, other forces really can't directly do anything to the Brotherhood.
However, it was such a "good old man" who stood behind Takeda Saito at this moment, bowed his head respectfully, and called "boss".
For a moment, the entire conference hall fell silent.
……………………
Takeda Saito, a real, Lübwe-esque figure.
As the son of a traveling merchant, Takeda Saito was born in the remote province of Zhiyun in Ionia, and although he traveled almost all of Ionia with his father as a teenager, he never won the favor of any sect.
Takeda Saito's ambition made him very unpopular with the elders, and although he had never done evil, in the Ionian tradition, ambition breeds danger, so no matter how sincere he was in his studies, he could only be rejected by the elders.
The elders' refusal undoubtedly ruined the young man's path to progress, after all, it was Valoran, it was Ionia, and strength was the most important basis in a sense.
Originally, Takeda Saito was already dead, and just when he was planning to honestly accept his father's shop and trade routes and become a merchant in the future, an accident brought him into contact with Ionia.
Under the influence of the storm, a fleet of Leather City ships ran aground on Moonlight Beach in the western part of Zhiyun Province, and while the Heart of Ionia would reject the ill-intentioned, it would not stop those who were struggling to survive.
At the same time, Takeda Saito was buying indigo shells for purple dye, and his curiosity led him to meet Madame Piltworth for the first time, and for the first time to know about places outside of Ionia.
In the mouths of sailors and merchants, Takeda Saito learns that Piltover is a city-state founded on commerce and trade, that merchants have a high status, and that Hextech can also strengthen otherwise ordinary people into powerful warriors......
Takeda Saito was tempted.
So, on a day when the northeast monsoon was blowing, Takeda Saito took all his savings, got into his own boat, set sail from Ionia, and set out for Piltover on a vague chart.
There is no doubt that Takeda Saito's choice at that time was similar to his gamble, and although he tried his best to please the sailors of Picheng and obtained a lot of seafaring knowledge from them, he finally felt shallow on paper, and as a true rookie, he almost capsized on the fifth day of departure......
The northeast monsoon was not a mild southwesterly wind, and when the waves rose at sea, Takeda Saito realized for the first time that he seemed to be really reckless.
Fortunately, there is no endless road.
Takeda Saito capsized seven days later, but was rescued by a passing Bilgewater and became a half-slave in charge of cleaning the deck.
Yes, most of the Bilgewater people at that time were pirates, and it was not a good thing to be caught by them.
Despite this, Takeda Saito quickly became the accountant of the pirate ship with his excellent eloquence, strong learning ability, and extraordinary calculation skills.
That year, Saito Takeda was twenty-one years old.
In this way, Takeda Saito wandered at sea for seven years, during which time he lit candles every night, either voraciously read all kinds of books or simply drew nautical charts from memory, and by the time he was twenty-eight years old, he had become the number two man in this pirate fleet.
It was then that he met Planck – a naval battle that made Takeda realize that his talent was not in combat, and that his command talent was far inferior to his talent in management.
(That's right, during the naval battle, Takeda Saito was hoisted and hammered by Planck.) )
Realizing this, Takeda Saito began to focus on whitewashing, and he went ashore by selling his teammates, but unfortunately he was stuck in Piltover's immigration review, and finally had to go to Zuan.
At that time, Zuan was still a chaotic place outside the law, but this chaos made him like a fish in water, and after a full decade of struggle, when Takeda Saito was 38 years old, he finally won the recognition of Zuan and became a nominal alchemy baron.
Although the Zuan Revolution almost completely destroyed Takeda Saito's foundations, with the network of connections he had laid down early, Takeda Saito opened the way with money, and he actually rose to prominence after returning to Ionia!
As for Mr. Spirit Shield......
At first, it was indeed Cole, but later,—— Noxus had a lot of small moves after the truce, and in a local conflict, Cole was attacked from behind.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a time when Cole has narrowly escaped his life countless times, but in fact, the first giant of the Navoli Brotherhood was quietly replaced after "recovering from a serious illness" and became the most played trump card under Takeda Saito!
And now, everything is ready.
Takeda Saito is ready to open!
