Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Chapter 66 【0064】 Zuan’s Dilemma

The conversation with Fandral in Fulgrim's Tavern opened Lux's eyes.

She simply could not imagine that a place like Zaun, which was chaotic and disorderly, with no right and wrong, and everything was in a mess, could actually become a city-state recognized by others, and the people of Zaun were quite proud of it!

Here, as long as Piltover is involved, everything seems to be reasonable and allowed except direct killing.

But when Lux asked them why they hated Piltover and why they hated Piltover, they hesitated and couldn't tell anything accurate.

The people of Zaun knew there were problems, but they didn't know what they were and couldn't solve them.

"Is this what you think Zaun is like?" After leaving the tavern, Lux pressed the hilt of her sword and said to Kalya, "It's all a mess, without any clue?"

"There may be some deviations in the specific details." Kalya thought for a while and gave an answer, "But overall, the difference is not big - at present, this is indeed a ruin."

"What, you think that guy Fandel didn't lie?" Lux suddenly became curious. "Just now in the tavern, you asked me to drink the goat's milk. This is not your style."

"The goat's milk of the Ban sheep is a good thing." Kalya laughed when he heard this. "The Ban sheep is also called the mammoth sheep. It is a specialty of Bergun. Their milk is the most famous local tonic. He took out this thing. , I didn’t intend to poison you—and Ino didn’t drink it.”

"Okay, that stuff does taste good, but it's a bit greasy. I need to move around and digest it." Lux smacked her lips, "What should we do now? Go to the factories of the alchemy barons? Fander said The workers haven’t gotten off work yet.”

"Good idea." Kalya confirmed Lux's idea, "Although I think that guy is most likely telling the truth, but if you listen to it, you will know better. Now, you can go to the Alchemist Baron's factory and see Zaun. Maybe there’s another side to it?”

"That's it!" Lux imitated Vi's behavior before and tried to snap her fingers but failed. "Do we need to put on a little makeup - just like when we were in Mithral City?"

"In Zaun, I'm afraid wearing makeup won't really help you blend in." Kalya said in a helpless tone, "As long as you wear a filter mask, they will treat you as a Piltover person."

"Ah, this -" Lux blinked a few times, "But if I were allowed to breathe freely here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help but cough."

"So, my suggestion is not to pretend to be Zaunites at all." Kalya laughed and made a suggestion that was completely different from the previous one in Mithril City, "Let's just pretend to be Piltover people."

"Pretending to be from Piltover..." Lux blinked, and then quickly understood what Kalya meant, "You mean, if Fandel and Vi didn't lie, those Alchemy Barons are the lackeys of the Piltover people, Piltover Is the identity of a city citizen more useful?"

"That's right." Kalya looked like a coward, "It just so happens that the Zaun people can't fake your glamorous appearance. Ino might as well play the role of a maid. Maybe she can see it from another angle. See another face of this city?"

……………………

In the alchemy factory closest to Forgan's Tavern, Alchemist Baron Finn was sitting in his office, fiddling with an exquisite lighter.

Finn loves lighters.

He liked the feeling of starting something from nothing and igniting a flame.

He was obsessed with the feeling of rubbing flint and turning sparks into flames - in Finn's view, his alchemy factory was a lighter, the workers were the gas, the roaring machines were the flints, and his wealth was bursting out. out of flames.

Every time he lit the lighter, he would think of the days when he left his hometown.

That day, he rubbed the flint and steel, and then ignited the willows in the village. The stubborn elders who said that he had no talent and was not worthy of being a ranger lost their shelter and faced the Noxians. sword.

In the raging flames, Finn's village was burned down, and the Noxians who invaded the village were also strangled in the fury of the forest. As for the initiator of everything, Finn left the village first and fled to Weili. Set sail in that port.

Then... he was robbed by the pirates of Bilgewater and sold to Zaun.

When he first came to Zaun, Finn was a contract worker, responsible for mining for others.

At that time, he didn't understand the Zaun language or their culture, but to Finn, that didn't matter.

At least in Zaun, no one would judge a person's future based on a few weird rituals.

Even though he is a miner, Finn is always working hard to climb up.

However, unlike other honest Zaunites, Finn's way of climbing up was somewhat unique - he did not work hard at mining, nor did he come up with any good ways to improve efficiency. His method was more direct, If you want to become a foreman, kill your current foreman.

In this way, Finn climbed all the way to the position of tunnel manager of a mine, and then he discovered that after reaching this position, fists could no longer solve the problem.

But fortunately, Finn not only has his fists, but also his head.

By this time, he had learned the Zaun dialect, and even cursed people even more Zuan than the Zaun people. When he realized that his fists were no longer enough, he found a few guys with strong enough fists. .

Although in Finn's opinion, the guy named Fandel is stupid, he has prestige and fists, so it would be good to follow him.

In this way, Finn followed Fander and got to know more and more Zaun people. Each of them was similar to Fander, they were all stupid, and Finn was waving flags and shouting behind these stupid guys. , after they thought they had mastered Zaun, they watched helplessly as they led the team towards Piltover and towards the Gate of the Sun.

Then...those stupid guys were all knocked down one by one in front of the Pilgrim Guy's guns, as if they were being cut grass, and their blood stained the seawall red.

In the end, only a few people fled back to the dark alley, licking their wounds like bereaved dogs.

Finn, who was watching coldly, had already seen that the Piltovers needed Zaun, they needed Zaun's ores, they needed Zaun's metals, they needed Zaun's black market, and they needed Zaun's smart people. Fandle and those fools were frightened. Picheng guy, now is the time for you to rise.

After silently lighting a lighter in the distance and giving those stupid guys a cigarette, Finn approached the Piltover Council - he gave the Piltover guys the promise they wanted and received a large sum of low-interest gold. Max built his own factory, specializing in processing highly polluting products that the people of Piltover were unwilling to process themselves.

Finn transformed and became the new Alchemy Baron.

However, Finn's ambitions go far beyond that.

He longs for more golden hexes and more power - if possible, he hopes to hire workers at a lower price and discharge wastewater directly into Zaun's underground river.

If that were the case, Finn would be able to earn enough gold hex to buy a house in Blue Smoke Manor, or even buy a seat on the council, and become a true Piltover.

But it's a pity that he can't do this now.

Fandel is not dead, he does not allow himself to do this, and if he disobeys Fandel, Finn's alchemy factory will not be able to recruit people.

Although Fandral was foolish, other foolish Zaans always believed him.

Even though many unlucky people who believed in him died on the sea wall of Sun Gate.

Just now, someone reported that a Piltover guy with a very unusual identity and a mage escort found Fandel's Fulgan Tavern, and finally broke up with Fandel on bad terms, and is now heading towards his factory. Come.

A Picheng guy with a mage to protect him...

Are they finally planning to bypass Fander?

Finn leaned back and leaned into his large chair.

In his right hand under the table, the lid of the lighter was opened again.

Cha——

The orange flame was ignited again.

Kalya’s Little Classroom: Baron Alchemy:

The Alchemy Barons are not nobles. They are the owners of various alchemy factories in Zaun. Their factories are responsible for the most important production tasks in the city, from mining to washing, from rough forging to pickling, many things that Piltover people do not do. Their factories are responsible for highly polluting projects.

In addition, these alchemy factories will also undertake some special research and development that is only available in Zaun. The lives of Zaun people are cheap enough, so they can skip animal experiments and use many medicines directly on the experimenters - because of this " "Advantage", the alchemy and potion levels of the Zaans are among the few items that surpass Piltover.
