Lux's Magic Penetration Rod
Chapter 144 【0141】 It’s like a lifetime ago
Perhaps it was because it was too hard to do experiments during this period. Even though he was going to Zaun tomorrow, Victor, who had washed up early this morning and was lying on the bed, did not have any intention of insomnia and fell asleep very smoothly.
When he regained consciousness, it was the next morning - his assistant Skye was knocking on the door.
Then, Victor opened the door and was stunned by the man in front of him.
Hey guys, is this Skye?
The little assistant who usually kept a weak voice and held his own experiment record book not only changed his clothes today, but also put on makeup. His whole temperament was completely different from usual.
As for the difference... Victor couldn't explain this.
"What's wrong?" Sensing the surprise in Victor's eyes, Skye lowered her head and looked at her dress in embarrassment, "Is there anything inappropriate about it?"
"Decent." Victor blinked, "However, it's a little too decent - I'm afraid it's a bit out of place in Zaun."
"Is this going to happen?" Skye suddenly panicked, "I specifically asked about it before. What is popular in Zaun recently is this brightly colored style..."
"If the color is bright, it will get dirty quickly, right?" Victor hesitated, "Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"Why does it get dirty so fast?" Skye was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Victor meant, "Well, wait, Victor, have you never paid attention to the news about Zaun?"
"Sorry, I haven't noticed it recently." Victor shook his head, "I only know that Zaun has been blocked for a long time. At first, it was a material blockade, and later people were not allowed to enter or leave -"
"But the news is never blocked." The assistant looked at Victor who looked confused and shook his head helplessly, "Now please change your clothes quickly. I will briefly talk to you about Zu An's current situation on the way. …”
……………………
Following Skye's unhurried footsteps, Victor walked and listened.
When he arrived at the elevator, Skye had already briefly introduced Zaun's changes in the past few years.
Although there is a fairly strict material embargo between the two cities, necessary personnel exchanges still exist - many newspapers and magazines in Piltover will also report on Zaun's affairs as a new news.
Although these reports are both good-intentioned and malicious, with different angles, the only thing that is certain is that even the worst reports have to be certain that Zaun is moving in a better direction.
After all... the disappearance of the haze is visible, and Zaun and Piltover are closely connected after all.
However, even from the worst perspective, the Zaun in the news was far stronger than the one in Victor's memory - so, after listening to everything quietly, he felt an uneasy feeling in a trance. The fragmentation of speech.
Is this Zuan?
Is this the Zu An that he is familiar with?
Although in the past few years, as his physical condition has become worse and worse, Victor's life has almost completely changed to two points and one line, and he cares less and less about the outside world, but he really can't imagine the place where he once came out. , such an amazing change would occur.
To say it was earth-shaking would be an understatement.
According to the latest news, Zaun seems to be planting trees... Perhaps Mr. Singed is a participant in this research?
With this thought in mind, Victor and Skye came to the elevator.
Without him having to show Camille's approval note, Marcos, who was guarding the elevator, took the initiative to greet him.
"Mr. Victor." He warned with a straight face and a serious tone, "Zuan is a city that has serious ill intentions towards Mrs. Piltover. Please pay attention to your safety."
Victor looked at this law enforcement officer who seemed a bit familiar, and finally said nothing, just nodded.
Seeing this, Marcos seemed to be satisfied with Victor's self-positioning. After getting out of the way, he took the initiative to open the door of the elevator.
Skye helped Victor into the elevator - the next moment, the elevator door slowly closed, and the passenger compartment started to slide downward bit by bit, dragged by the thick steel cable.
……………………
In the cabin, Victor seemed to be in a trance.
Beside him, Skye seemed to be forcibly suppressing herself and not letting herself show her nervousness.
If Victor could get closer, he would find that Skye was talking to herself in a voice that only he could hear.
"Professor Singed...Teacher Singed? No, this seems a bit deliberate, it should be Mr. Singed."
"How do you say that greeting from Zuan... May your harmony always be wonderful?"
"What a terrible rhetoric. Wasn't this made up by tabloid reporters? It's better to give up on this part."
"..."
"..."
Soon, the elevator car lowered.
The door opened again, and Victor walked out first, leaning on a cane, and set foot on the land of Zaun again after three years.
This familiar yet unfamiliar land.
There was also someone guarding the elevator on Zaun's side - after Victor came out, the other party made a routine inquiry.
Victor didn't hide anything, he directly stated that he came here to visit his former teacher and seek help.
"Were you from Zaun before?" The guard recognized Victor's accent and asked in a familiar tone, "How long has it been since you came back?"
"Three years." Victor whispered, "Three whole years."
"Then you may need to buy a map of the new city." The other party nodded, as if it was true, "There is one in the bookstore in front - if you haven't been here in three years, the streets have changed a lot, so look at the map more , Open your mouth and ask more, so as not to get lost."
"Thank you for the reminder." Victor said calmly, "I will do it."
After finishing the record, the guard stepped aside to make way for the passage - Victor stepped forward, leaning on a cane, and walked onto the newly built streets of Zaun, and behind him, Skye followed suit.
Although the assistant rehearsed many times in front of the mirror last night, unfortunately, after arriving in Zaun, she still followed Victor out of habit.
The two of them walked in tandem like this, clearly walking on the streets of Zu'an, but they still seemed to be in a laboratory.
Following the guidance of the elevator guard, Victor came to a bookstore on the corner of the street.
This is a small bookstore, probably less than twenty square meters in size. Both sides of a zigzag-shaped passage are filled with various books.
It is hard to imagine that such a small but fully functional bookstore would appear in Zaun - in the past, almost no one read books in Zaun.
This store not only sells maps, but also newspapers, magazines and novels. Victor walked along the narrow passage and discovered to his surprise that it not only sold newspapers published by Zaun itself, but also Piltover's daily and evening newspapers. Also for sale.
Look carefully at the date, daily newspaper or even today's!
His eyes hurriedly scanned the bookshelves, Victor blinked, and then confirmed one thing - he had never read any of the books placed in the most conspicuous places.
Although he is not a person who likes reading novels very much, it still surprised him.
Raising his eyebrows, Victor finally withdrew his gaze, picked up a tourist map, and silently paid the price after asking about the price.
Behind him, Skye quickly picked up a few Zaun-specific books, dropped the corresponding money, and hurriedly followed Victor's footsteps.
Skye doesn't read much novels either.
But maybe Zuan's novel...is worth reading.
At least the Zu An written in it is more real than the Zu An in the newspaper, right?
"Where is our destination?" Coming to Victor's side, Skye asked in a low voice, "Is it marked on the map?"
"There was no mark on the map in the past, but this version should have it..." Referring to the surrounding scenery and direction, Victor quickly locked his sights on a factory, "It's right here, yes, when you get nearby or see it If you are familiar with it, you can ask again."
Kalya’s Little Classroom and Zaun’s Publishing Industry:
Starting from the second year of the three-year plan, Zaun's publishing industry began to flourish - partly because Zaun translated many ancient Shurima novels that are still readable today, and partly because Zaun is also selectively absorbing the popular culture of Piltover.
