The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

"I?"

He was stopped by a strong man in iron armor, the young man pointed at himself with a confused look, but he was alert in his heart.

He knew the iron armor on the opponent's body. It was said that it was an armament that was eliminated by Noxus. Let alone a knife, bullets couldn't penetrate it. And the people who can wear this dress in Zaun now are all the minions of Shirko.

It's just that the name has been changed now. It seems to be called... Zaun Police Force?

Oh, Zaun is here, Sirco's gangster is a policeman, is there anything more funny than this?

"Yes! It's just you! I'm Pete from the 2nd Zaun Police Force. I see that you have a solid body. Have you considered coming to work with us?"

"Is it okay for your police team to pull strangers like this?" The strong guy was slightly stunned.

"What's your name?"

"I...?" The strong boy hesitated, "Ike!"

This is his real name, but it has not been used for a long time...

"No, your name is Ike, and my name is Pete. We met today, so from now on you are part of our 2nd team." Pete smiled honestly and patted Ike's thick shoulder.

Oh, with Zaun on top, it would be unreliable to have a gangster as a police force.

Ike lamented in his heart, and also complained about the situation:

"No, the police force should be similar to the Piltover Law Enforcement Bureau. They all demand innocence from their family background. How can you feel like a fake when you go out on the street and recruit people at will."

Hearing this, Pete's face became solemn, and he patted his breastplate:

"Do you know what this is?"

"Noxus-style armor?" Ike asked carefully.

"Hey, who said this, look at this sign!" Pete pointed to the pattern on the breastplate.

Ike looked closely and found that it was a pattern of a medicine syringe, a sample he played with when he was a child. It was Zaun's logo. I don't know who drew it first, but everyone thought it represented Zaun and kept it.

"Zuan's logo, I know it, and I have one hanging in my house." Ike said truthfully.

He really had one carved on the tree at his house, always reminding himself to do his part to change Zaun.

"That's okay, you are from Za'an, and I am from Za'an. Za'an people will never lie to Za'an people!" Pete smiled broadly.

What a lovely and generous man...

Ike couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

When did the Zaun people become honest and kind babies, is this the Zaun he knew?

"Sure, I have decided to join you. Do I need to go through any formalities?"

Ike wondered if he had to pay an invitation fee or something, but Viktor was really a good man, so just find any Zaun and assign him a job.

"There's no formalities, just take a photo and keep it for the record. Oh yes, it's convenient for you to show your face at that time."

"Hey, my mask is anti-gas, but it seems to be different here." Ike hesitated for a while, thinking that no one had seen his face, so he took off the mask, revealing the face of a teenager.

He's really interested in Zaun under Victor right now.

Perhaps, joining the police department is a good choice.

"That's different. Heixiang is sprayed with fragrances developed by Mr. Victor himself. It is said that if you smoke too much, it can relieve Shimmer's drug addiction."

"Shimmer..."

Thinking of the alchemy potion that Shirko spread, Ike felt a little pain in his heart.

Countless people died because they drank the shimmer. Although they might starve or die of thirst if they didn't drink it, he really didn't like this kind of forced exchange of food and water.

The surrounding area of ​​Zaun is either sandy or polluted by factories. Not to mention planting crops, even the water source is dyed purple and cannot be drunk at all.

Conditional distilled seawater is treated for drinking, and it is better to get water from Piltover. Those at the bottom can only live thirsty, praying to the sky for a rain.

Hope... Victor is different...

Ike clenched his fists and took a deep breath:

"What are we going to do, will you be very busy?"

"Of course, Zaan has to employ people everywhere now. Wait, my job is here, you have to watch it, you have to do it in the future."

As Pete said that, under Ike's curious eyes, he walked towards a slender young man with dull eyes.

"Cough, stop! How many years have you been smoking shimmer?"

"Two...two years!"

The young man shivered all over, almost fainted from fright, and slumped on the ground.

"Get up, we Zaan people are all hot-blooded men!"

Pete picked up the young man and said with a plausible voice:

"Two years is quite a long time. The physical fitness does not rise but falls, so it seems that the potential is not great."

"Yes, yes, I just want to live well."

The young man was crying, but he still stood firm.

"It's alright, alright, I didn't say you have a problem. Now you have a job that includes food and water, do you want to do it?" Pete frowned, disliking the young man's cowardice.

Hearing this, Ike's eyes froze.

Food and water?

Oh, Zaun is above, why isn't he treated so well?

Is he not as capable as this young man?

Ike glanced at his solid arm in confusion. That's right, thicker than the opponent's thighs.

So... what went wrong?

"Really!? Do! Of course, how much shimmer to drink this time?" The young man's eyes lit up.

Hearing the young man's words, Ike frowned with disgust in his eyes.

Could it be...he thought wrong?

"What kind of shimmer should I drink? Your potential is still shimmer? Now I can't drink shimmer. Only someone with potential can inject it professionally. Just do the work, do it or not?"

Pete pouted, and when he talked about the shimmer, his face was still full of envy.

"As long as you do it? Do it! You can do whatever you want." There was hope in the youth's eyes.

"Sure, go to the police station tomorrow. You can choose a few tasks to do, and distribute the reward according to the completion of the task, or you can replace it with the same amount of food and water." Pete explained.

"Don't tomorrow, do you have it today?"

The young man pulled Pete with anticipation in his eyes.

"There are, there are, there are three suitable for you today: river inspection, dangerous building marking, danger source detection..."

Before Pete could finish speaking, he saw the young man running towards the police station without looking back.

Seeing the young man's actions, Pete stared at him, and said a few words of Zaun, before turning his head to Ike:

"Do you understand?"

"Assign jobs to the Zaan people, the weak police station will assign tasks, and the stronger ones will be directly pulled into the police station. Everyone trades labor for food." Ike said with emotion.

In Zaun, at least not so long ago...

Piltover is used as food and water for social welfare, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Even exchanging labor for them is an extravagant hope. Every penny here is not clean, and the law of the jungle is being played at any time.

He didn't know what would happen to Zaun in the future, but he saw something called hope in the eyes of that glimmering addict.

If... Victor really represents hope, and Shirko is really for Zaun... Then is it necessary to carry out the plan he once planned day and night?

Hope, although not yet touched, has never been so close.

"Pete, take me to the police station, I also want to do my part for Zaun." Ike suddenly said solemnly.

"Come on, I'm about to take you there. The police station opened in a black alley. The original site there was an empty shop with a loft and a basement. It was transformed into the current office building of the police station, as if it used to be. What's it called... Benso Grocery, yes, that's the name."

"Benso General Store, it used to be a good place." Ike was slightly stunned, his tone a little weird.

"That's right, that's really a good place. That's the place that Mr. Victor chose. I remember we also found some children's inventions left by the owner's children. Mr. Victor was very sorry at the time, saying that if the shop owner's child was a child If you don't die, you should be very promising and make a great contribution to Zaan."

Pete slapped his forehead, and at that moment he took Viktor to the site on Hirko's order, but he was so excited.

"Hahaha, I think so too."

A smile can always cover up the sadness in his heart. Ike held back tears and followed Pete into the place that used to be the Benso General Store, now renamed the Police Department.

A few years later, he came back.

There may be hope for the future life...
