Looking at the prosperous Piltover landscape outside the window, Viktor was touched:

"I always felt that when I had the power to change the world, neither I nor Zaun would be manipulated by others."

"This idea coincides with our Noxus. I think you will like it there." Ryan expressed his agreement.

Viktor smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying word by word:

"Politics, prejudice, magic, force, technology, wisdom. Countless talents converge to form Noxus. But in Piltover, I only see prejudice and politics."

The mechanical car drove to the bridge between Zaun and Piltover. The commotion caused by the law enforcement officers made Viktor gloomy.

Just when Jayce was a member of parliament in the morning, the parliament announced an order to thoroughly investigate Zaun. A large number of law enforcement officers rushed into Zaun with gas masks. It is not necessary to think about how chaotic it is now.

It was also at that time that he completely gave up on his partner. They can work together on research, but the other party will never understand the pain of the people in the lower city.

Prejudice makes it impossible for Mrs. Piltover to calmly solve the root conflict of the two cities. She can only rely on repression to deal with the matter.

At the bridge, the mechanical car did not stop, but Katarina had already entered the car nimbly.

"I have never seen such a chaotic place. There is no fighting with swords and guns, but it is filled with a disgusting atmosphere of despair."

Katarina did not hide her intention from Victor at all, and her expression was full of disgust.

"It seems that the experience there was not good for you, Miss Katarina." Ryan's face did not change at all, "But I think you should find a good place for me and Hilko to meet."

"The roof of the Fugen Tavern, the terrain there is relatively high, and it is now Hilko's nest. It is said that it was Vandel's territory before." Katarina turned her eyes to Victor, trying to verify the accuracy of this information.

"Indeed. Ahem, that is the tallest building in Zaun, but it is also the most chaotic place now."

As soon as the car entered Zaun, the dirty air seeped into the car, causing Victor to cough.

But he still insisted on looking Ryan and Katarina up and down, and found that they were still calm.

"Are you surprised? Weak scientists, some places in Noxus are a hundred times more uncomfortable than here." Katarina sneered.

"The performance of Senator Talis at that time should not be good."

Ryan suddenly spoke up, he seemed to understand something, his eyes were full of interest.

"Nothing, everyone has their own ambitions. This is the real Zaun, the air is filled with the stench of chemicals, but compared to mines and chemical factories, the smell here is much better." Victor wanted to change the subject.

"Look at it openly, you have a chance to change this place. And I believe in one sentence." Ryan saw that the other party was not in high spirits, and comforted him.

"What?" Victor looked curious.

"The purpose of our mastering knowledge is not to escape from the poor hometown, but to make our hometown no longer poor."

Katarina and Victor were stunned at the same time, but compared to Katarina who quickly agreed with fanatical expressions, Victor seemed to be more trapped in it, and kept muttering something in his mouth.

The mechanical car drove smoothly all the way, still moving forward unhindered on the muddy road of Zaun. This car was designed and manufactured by Victor, and it was originally considered to be used in Zaun.

It's a pity that only people from Piltover can own it, and those people will not come here.

"Is this the Fulgrim Tavern? It is indeed unique to be able to open it in the center of Zaun."

After getting off the car, Ryan admired the colorful lights of the tavern. The building was old but decorated with various graffiti, which was very rebellious.

"When the last Zaun leader Fandel was here, this was the safest place. Unfortunately, everything is different now. But his statue is still there, and someone lights the pipe in his mouth for him every day, as if to commemorate his soul."

Victor lagged behind Ryan, pointed at the statue not far away, and did his job as a guide.

"It seems that Hilco has a special relationship with him." Katarina remembered what Ryan said not long ago, with a mocking look on her face.

What is this? Killed the boss in the past with his own hands, and missed him every day?

Ryan glanced at her and said meaningfully: "If one day the dagger in your hand pierces General Kekao's neck, you may have similar feelings."

"That guy has abandoned me. If I one day." Katarina retorted irritably, but her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally her eyes were melancholy: "I don't know."

Ryan's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly at this time, looking at the door of Fugen Tavern.

"Are you the big shot from Noxus? You look weak."

A dark-skinned strong woman stood there, looking drunk. Seeing Ryan's thin and noble style, with a defiant face.

Swish!

Katarina's face turned into frost again, and turned into a black shadow. In an instant, she was in front of the woman, and she elbowed the woman's hand that had just been raised and turned it outward, and the sharp dagger was placed on the woman's throat.

"Watch your words, idiot."

"Don't scare her. She's Hilco's subordinate. We have to let her lead the way."

Ryan's face remained calm as he stepped over the woman with Victor, who was also unmoved.

The knife was put down from her neck. The woman seemed a little unwilling to accept it, but she was afraid of the dagger in Catalina's hand, so she had to lead the way with a gloomy face.

After climbing up several stairs, they reached the roof of Fulgrim Tavern, a wide platform.

The woman looked at Victor, who was a little out of breath, with a mocking look. She might have thought that the Noxians were just like that. She stepped forward and whispered something in the ear of a short and thin man.

The man turned his head. It was an extremely scary face. Only the right half of the face was intact. The left half was full of wrinkles. The sclera of the left eye was black, and the eyeball was emitting orange-red light.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!

He greeted with a smile, and his hoarse voice revealed kindness:

"I am Xierko. Welcome friends from Noxus to Zaun. My stupid subordinates are not well entertained. I hope you will understand. I think the big people of Noxus should not care about us, the people of the city."

Ryan looked at him with a smile, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a deep blue light, and it seemed that some kind of rune flashed in them.

This gesture made the woman nervous and alert, but Hilco remained calm.

His eyes continued to emit magical blue light, and Ryan whispered:

"You have been injected with glimmers many times in your body. Recently, you have injected 3 times in your right leg, 2 times in your left arm, and 1 time each in your right arm and left leg. The injection method is very unprofessional, as if it was deliberately intended to torture you. The left half of your face has been deformed, and you need to inject glimmers from your left eye many times a day to maintain your life. You are severely addicted. If you don't inject glimmers every 3 hours, you will feel uncomfortable all over at best, and your body will collapse at worst."

After saying this, he lowered his head and looked down at Hilco, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Am I right? Mr. Hilco."

After he said this, not only was Hilco and his men shocked beyond words, but even Victor and Katarina, who knew he was a mage, were surprised.

Hilco forced a laugh, regained his composure, took two deep breaths and said:

"As expected of you, you are the Meredith Mage from Noxus. I wonder what you want from me?"

Having been in Zaun for so long, he is very familiar with this.

If he is really an enemy, there is no need to tell him so much.

He revealed the secret of his body right away, which was obviously to show his strength. This was to tell him that the strength of both sides was not equal.

Faced with such a person who even surpassed Piltover, he did not have much choice but to submit.

What's more, he and the other party had no conflict of interest.

"What do you think of Piltover's new councillor, Jace Tallis?" Ryan asked suddenly.

Hilco was a little surprised by this question. He carefully watched Ryan with his peripheral vision, thinking constantly in his heart, trying to find the answer the other party wanted.

On the other side, Katarina looked indifferent, not caring about the conversation between the two people around her, but looking at Hilco's men, who inserted several tubes of purple liquid into the mechanical arm of his left hand and gave her a provocative look.

Victor kept looking at Hilco, and it was difficult for him to associate him with the leader of Zaun. He knew Hilco, a practical entrepreneur in Zaun, and was also quite famous in Piltover. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like an underground emperor.

He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Hilco to be the source of the recent chaos in Zaun.

Hilco pondered for a long time, and really couldn't tell anything from Ryan's face, so he had to say what he thought in his heart:

"In my eyes, although Jace Talis has a lot of talent, he is a typical Upper City person. He grew up under the deliberate guidance of the Upper City and was as simple as a blank sheet of paper."
