"The second time Ike and I met was during a turf fight. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Ezreal clasped his hands behind his head, leaned on the saddle casually, and said lightly: "The Kaze region is the most barren area in the lower strata of Zu'an, there are no energy mines, no alchemy farms, and there are no entertainment venues in that place due to inconvenient transportation.

But even so, the Kaze area is a tempting piece of cake in the eyes of the hooligans and bullies, and you know why? ”

Hearing Xiao Huangmao say this, Wang Hai keenly noticed that Baker beside him had inadvertently clenched his fists.

"The birth rate and survival rate of Zaun babies is extremely low. ”

But Ezreal, who was sitting on Baker's right, didn't seem to notice this, and still said to himself: "In the disorderly underground city, if you want to maintain your power and strength, thugs, bodyguards, and loyal subordinates, these fresh blood are indispensable.

A large number of orphans without families, orphanages who have received funding from the Phi City Council and don't care whether the children can survive or not, hehe, the Kaze area is the best place for them to find 'malleable talents'.

Those hooligans and bullies also took a fancy to this, and almost every year, there would be a large-scale fire fight between more than a dozen gangs there. ”

Baker's clenched fists grew tighter and tighter, and he even trembled slightly involuntarily.

Wang Hai sighed and said to Ezreal, "Okay, you don't need to describe this Kaze region anymore. Tell me how you met Ike. ”

"Well, that's a bit of a hassle. A year ago, I was still studying at the Academy's advanced courses, and one of my off-campus internships was also in the middle level of Zaun.

It's just that you know, those things in the middle and upper classes of Zu'an, how can they be as attractive as the lower classes, so I sneaked out. ”

"Why do you like to skip class so much?...... Wang Hai couldn't help but complain.

"Hehe, a lot of the knowledge or information about Zaun in the academy courses has been screened. And I prefer to explore what lies beneath the surface on my own. ”

Hearing Wang Hai's question, Ezreal showed his signature confident smile again, and continued: "That day, in the black market of Hex trading in the back street, I saw a little boy standing on the edge of Flea Street with a strange gem being sold, and that person was Ike.

I took that gem and didn't find anything special about it. Aside from its faint energy, this gem was not even comparable to the ornaments on the waists of the nobles of Leather City.

But he told me that he could make this gem exert an amazing power that no one could have imagined. However, just as he was about to show me, a group of young thugs surrounded him, beat him beyond recognition, and then threw him out of Flea Street. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Huang Mao's brows furrowed slightly, as if he recalled something that puzzled him: "Vendors who have not paid gold coins are not allowed to appear in the black market in the back streets. Wearing the seal of the academy and not selling anything, of course those people will not do anything bad to me. However, when I went to the place where Ike was thrown out by those men to check on him, I found him standing there intact.

There was not the slightest scar on his body, his clothes were worn out but there was no trace of being torn, and his face that had been beaten into a pig's head was as smooth as new, as if he had just washed his face and went out.

And, as if he had lost a part of his memory, he held the gem in his hand and was ready to enter Flea Street again to peddle it. When he met me, he forgot about the conversation I had with him, and once again introduced me to the gem he had in his hand, which he regarded as a treasure. ”

It seemed that his mouth was a little dry, Xiao Huangmao took out a water cup from the satchel beside him, took a sip of it, wiped his mouth and continued: "When I went to Zu'an to find him for the second time, I knew from his mouth that I couldn't tell what kind of energy gem this piece was, it was a gem that could change time, and it could allow users to shuttle back and forth freely in parallel time that only belonged to them.

It's just that Ike is the only person who can use the strange ability of this gem. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't magically travel back and forth through time like Ike. It couldn't even emit even the slightest glimmer in my hand. ”

Smiling helplessly, Ezreal was about to continue to say something, when he heard the sound of the station announcement from the loudspeaker of the screaming train.

Their planned Black Tower has arrived.

Xiao Huangmao stood up quietly, glanced at Baker and Wang Hai, with an indifferent expression on his face, squeezed past the passengers in the aisle, and walked towards the door of the carriage behind him.

Wang Hai and Baker glanced at each other, and at the same time got up and followed Ezreal to the rear.

Everything went smoothly.

The large number of passengers who wanted to make their way to the middle level of Zu'an on the brown abyss platform isolated them from the large army of students of the Academy of Science and Magic in front of them, and no one noticed that the three of them had sneaked out of the door of the rear carriage.

"I didn't use my door opener, that's the best. ”

After getting off the train, the three of them walked out of the platform in the crowd.

The badge of the cadet of the Academy of Science and Demon Sect pinned to his chest allowed them to walk out of the station unimpeded at all the checkpoints.

"Now it's the next step. ”

Out of the station, Wang Hai was presented with a man-made passage sandwiched between a narrow canyon, and at the end of this road, he was greeted by a huge black tower.

The crowd of people who got off the train basically walked in the direction of the tower.

Wang Hai and the three of them walked on the only road after leaving the station, but halfway through, Ezreal suddenly led the two of them to a gap in the rock wall of the canyon.

This opening in the canyon wall is small enough for an adult-sized person to pass through.

Following the torch in his hand, behind Ezreal, who was leading the way at the front, Wang Hai walked out about a kilometer or so, and found that the gap between the rock walls was gradually expanding.

A spherical, cave-like space appeared in front of the three of them.

Above the cave and above the ground, there are two metal pipe mouths, and an indescribable strange stench emanates from the pipes.

"This is the ventilation duct that connects to a certain alchemy workshop on the lower level of Zu'an. It's Thursday, and the alchemy workshop will be closed this afternoon. This ventilation duct allows us to easily access the lower level of Zuan. ”

Wang Hai twitched the corner of his eyes and glanced at the dark ventilation duct.

"If it weren't for the fact that today's events were important to me, I would have just wanted to kill you here, you damn little yellow hair. ”

Although Izawa had been told about the situation here before, when he actually arrived at the scene, the strange and pungent stench was really difficult for him to accept.

"No way, this is the only passage I know of that can get to the lower level of Zuan without even noticing. ”

Xiao Huangmao spread his hands helplessly: "Don't worry, this afternoon, there will definitely be no alchemy gas rushing out of this pipeline, and you can reach the lower level of Zu'an by sliding through this pipeline for more than ten minutes." Patience is over. ”

After speaking, regardless of Wang Hai's still tangled face, Xiao Huangmao's eyes closed and jumped down directly.
