Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 35 Blue Bird
(Reminder before reading: The name of the obnoxious fat woman in the previous article was changed to "Karitos", and I used a name I remembered before without paying attention. After reading feedback from readers, I checked the allusions and finally defeated my Lazy cancer, revised one by one.)
Grayson is Marcos' umbrella in the Law Enforcement Bureau. If she falls, Marcos will definitely have a lot of trouble in the days to come.

For example, the warden will not give him face again, and the life of the four children in prison may become a mess.

Or that fat woman, Carritos, would bring her uncle to trouble her.

These are all possible.

So whether Grayson can recover is the top priority for Marcos!
"By the way." A law enforcement officer suddenly looked at Marcus and asked, "Did you encounter any strange things when you came back?"

"Strange thing?" Marcos was taken aback by the question. Did the three of them already know that he brought the four children back?

"Which aspect specifically?"

"I can't tell." The law enforcement officer frowned and said, "Actually, when we escorted Ms. Grayson back, I don't know whether it was a dream or something real. She kept talking about 'Blue Bird' and the like."

"Blue Bird?"

Marcos changed his expression and glanced around the three of them: "Did you see it?"

"No."

"I did not notice."

"It should be Ms. Grayson who is raving." Another law enforcement officer said: "Because I was carrying her upper body and paying attention to her condition, I can be sure that she did not wake up before being sent to the operating room."

"I haven't woken up...the blue bird...babbling..." Marcos muttered a few key words, and he had a guess in his heart.

Legend has it that long before Zaun split into twin cities, someone prayed to the wind.

From sailors hoping for good weather to downtrodden praying for change, there are many mortals who pin their hopes on the turbulent winds that howl across Runeterra.

Over time, people found that the wind seemed to respond to them.

Some navigators said convincingly that they saw a blue bird appear, and then a strong wind filled the sails.

Others swear by hearing a whistle before a storm arrives, as if to warn them.

As these stories spread from word to mouth, the blue bird appeared more and more frequently.

Someone said that he saw the blue bird transform into a beautiful girl with pointed ears and long hair.

It is said that when the saint appeared, she was floating on the water, and she could guide the direction of the wind by waving her hair lightly.

The pious call this wind spirit Jahn-arem, the ancient Shuriman word for "guardian," because she always seems to be there in the worst of times.Over time, her name was shortened to Janna.

Janna's name spread throughout the shores of Shurima, and the inhabitants of Oshravazuan were the most ardent believers.They rely on calm seas to bring trade ships to the city's ports.They erected statues and shrines in gratitude for Janna's benevolence.

Until later, in order to consolidate the status of the most powerful Ascended Warrior in the country, the emperor of the ancient Shurima Empire ordered the destruction of all statues and shrines, and did not allow the people to worship the so-called "false gods".

The statue of Janna was pushed and smashed (I can't write 'upside down', a harmonious word), and the shrine was smashed, but many people still prayed to Janna in secret.

After all, can an Ascended Warrior protect a ship from a storm?These people often wear amulets of blue birds—smaller, more hidden symbols in homage to Janna.

After the fall of the ancient empire, the remaining ascended warriors set off wars and chaos. Only Janna consistently protected the city in the turmoil and disputes.

It's just that the name of the city has also been simplified to: Zaun.

Strictly speaking, Zaun is the big brother in the Twin Cities, and Piltover is the younger brother.

"Have you ever seen a bird-like totem on Ms. Grayson?" Marcos recalled it carefully, but found no relevant memories.

Maybe I and the former owner Marcos have seen it, but they didn't take it to heart.

Who would be bored to remember how many creases there are on the shade of a lamp?
Who can tell whether the light switch in the house is on or off during a power outage?
If the totem is so easy to be found and remembered, how did those believers escape the search of the ancient empire?
"Talk about the bird's totem..." A law enforcement officer pointed to one of the short guns on Marcus' waist: "Isn't that?"

"Yes! I just said that this pattern looks familiar!" Another law enforcement officer also pointed to the short gun and shouted: "Look at this shape, isn't it a bird gliding with wings folded? This tassel-shaped pattern is Bird wings!"

The last law enforcement officer showed wise eyes: "This gun must be of great significance, so much so that Ms. Grayson couldn't forget it even in a coma. The blue bird may be the name of the gun!"

Marcus took off the short gun, and after careful observation, he found that there was indeed a pattern engraved on the surface of the gun body, which looked like a bird creature gliding in the air.

Considering that Grayson is still an excellent sniper, and the wind has a great influence on bullets, it makes sense for Grayson to believe in the power of wind.

So far, Marcos has completely let go of his heart.

In his impression, this Incarnation of Wind has the power to heal, and he was able to escape this catastrophe thanks to Grayson's worship and worship over the years.

If you ask for something, you will get it, which is much more effective than some false gods with bald heads, scars and golden bodies sitting in temples.

At this moment, the door of the operating room was opened from the inside, and several nurses and doctors pushed Grayson out after the operation.

"Doctor, Mr. Grayson, she..." Marcus immediately greeted her.

"Don't worry, everything is going well." Dr. Ryan took off his mask and said with emotion: "I have been in the doctor for so many years, and I have seen such serious injuries a few times, but it is true that the injured can persist for so long until we finish the operation. It is rare. It shows that the deputy sheriff has a strong desire to survive."

Marcus glanced at Grayson. His originally healthy bronze complexion looked a little gray due to excessive blood loss, and he was still in a coma with his eyes closed.

This is the protection mechanism of the human body. After the body recovers a little, it will naturally wake up when it can adapt to the pain of the injury.

"Doctor, how long will it take for Officer Grayson to wake up?" A law enforcement officer nearby asked.

"It's hard to say." Ryan frowned and shook his head lightly: "It depends on the physical fitness of the injured, it could be as short as three to five days, or as long as ten and a half months.

It's getting late, you go back to rest first, the hospital will arrange a special nurse to take care of her, don't disturb other patients here. "

After speaking, Ryan asked the nurse to send Grayson to the intensive care unit, and followed him.
