Chapter 1: The Violet Dream

Piltover and Zaun – these are two interesting cities.

In Rhodes' view, Piltover is the glamorous side, while Zaun is the not-so-rosy part, and if the words are a little more profound, it is that Piltover exploits Zaun.

In this sense, Rhodes is also a member of the exploitation, because his tavern is in Zaun - although it is the Upper Zuan, which is relatively orderly, Rhodes is also a member of Zaun.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, so Rhodes has no guilt about being a supplier to Jinx.

Rod swears, it's never the Lolicon or the gold coins, it's never!

What the? You said it was because of Rhodes that Jinx recently targeted the bank?

Joke! You're slandering!

That's just because Jinx thinks the bank is prosperous enough, and Rhodes has made a series of reasonable suggestions because of this!

Can the words of the Fa Ye be called instigation?

Here's the point!

Rhodes dared to swear in the name of the outstanding graduates of Violet Academy, this is a conclusion reached through the spell of the prophecy system, this is a real sense, a thousand gold will not change the guidance!

If the great magician and winner of life Luo Ning were here, he would definitely not hesitate to expose Rod's hypocrisy - when Rhodes was in Dalaran, he had never heard even a prophecy class, and even after the prophecy instructor was replaced by a hot beauty, Rhodes was sleeping when he took the prophecy class!

As for the outstanding graduates or something, isn't it because Rhodes's explosion is sharp enough?

You must know that in the class when Rhodes graduated, "playing well" and "sorry" have become the nightmare of many mages who participated in the actual combat assessment.

That's right, Rhodes isn't a Valoran native, but a time-traveler – strictly speaking, he's a cross-over old bird who has crossed twice.

From Blue Star to Azeroth, and from Azeroth to Valoran.

The reason for the first crossing was an accident, but the second time was an epic, and in the battle of the ancients, Rhodes said a good fight to the leader of the demons, Sargeras.

The subsequent fire explosion became the key to helping seal Sargeras, but Rhodes was also torn apart by Sargeras's rage.

When Rhodes, who was already dead, woke up, he was surprised to find that he had arrived in Valoran - and this time, he had the rare idea of going home.

And the first step back home is to set up a tavern in Zuan, which is this Violet Dream.

For Rhodes, it's also a kind of commemoration.

The road has to be walked step by step, and it is not easy to go home, although Valoran's Acacia is connected to countless worlds, but if he wants to go home with the help of it, Rhodes needs to make many preparations......

Doing things in Zaun and Picheng is just the first step.

……………………

With the help of teleportation, Rod took Jinx back to the back kitchen of his tavern, and the sudden appearance of two people directly disrupted the work order of the robots, so Rod directly pulled Jinx, who kept shouting "cool", and left the kitchen.

Since it was still early, it was not the time for Violet Dream to open, and the huge tavern was empty, and Jinx, who had left the kitchen, jumped directly onto the table, and then stretched himself out like a lazy cat.

"Wow, Rod, I can't believe you still have such a side - that spell is so cool, like a brilliant explosion!"

Rod grinned subconsciously, and his gaze swept over an excited washboard loli - I have to say, it was really flat.

Of course, before the rampage Lori really rampage, Rod wisely withdrew his gaze.

"Before you sigh, I think you need to pay my honorarium - it's not cheap for a master to come forward and save people."

Hearing the request for money, Jinx's face instantly turned into a bitter gourd, and her blue long braid drooped listlessly.

"Oh, Rod, it's not cool to withdraw money at all."

didn't bother with this fake Lori, Rod began to calculate quickly.

"Last month, the turnover of Violet Dream has exceeded 30,000 gold hex (1), which also means that my daily income is 1,000 gold hex, Violet Dream business hours are only five hours, so my hourly wage is about 200 gold hex, and it took me a quarter of an hour to save you - you need to pay me fifty gold hex, the price is fair, and the child is not deceived."

Jinx rarely didn't complain this time, because as Rod said, this time it was really a fair price - although the behavior of treating running water as income was a bit shameless, but anyway, Rod saved himself after all.

But in the next second, Jinx realized the problem.

This operation failed, and it seems that he didn't even have fifty gold hexes......

And looking at Rode, who was smiling and seemed to have some unhealthy intentions, Jinx suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Damn, what are you going to do?"

"Don't be nervous." Rod waved his hand disappreciatively, "I'm not interested in a washboard, now Violet Dream needs a waiter, I think you're a good fit." ”

Jinx subconsciously wanted to go berserk, but there was no bomb of her own in the familiar position - and it was then that she realized that she didn't seem to have any bargaining chips to fight against.

Thinking that Rod probably deliberately waited until Wei took all of his inventory before showing up, Jinx finally gritted her teeth fiercely - "Deal, tell me what the salary is!" ”

"The hourly wage is three silver hex, and the minimum wage standard of Shangzu An is just right for a rookie like you."

A hundred silver hex can be exchanged for one gold hex, and Jinx finds that he needs to work for more than 300 days to pay off this arrears!

For Jinx, who admires freedom, this is absolutely intolerable.

Just as Jinx was trying to bargain, Rhodes pulled out a wanted warrant.

"Jinx, the culprit of Leather City, has a prize of up to 10,000 gold hexes, and if you don't agree, I'm afraid I'll have to give you to Catherine - as far as I know, her reputation is quite good."

Jinx was dismissive - she hadn't been to the prison in Leather City!

But then, Rhodes pulled out another job posting.

"Picheng Prison is recruiting guards, and it seems that if the prisoner can't escape, there is a reward......"

This time, Jinx decisively held down Rhodes.

If Rod really applied for the job, I'm afraid it would be really impossible for him to escape from prison again......

Under the threat of Hongguoguo, Jinx reluctantly changed into the costume that Rhodes handed him - don't get me wrong, it wasn't a maid outfit or anything like that, it was just the most ordinary black robe.

Rhodes is a serious person, and Violet Dream is also a serious tavern - if he wants to change the style of Violet Dream, Rui Wen is almost here!

Washboard or something...... Let's hide under the black robe!

So, the customers who came to Violet Dream that day found that the iron rooster boss had finally hired a new waiter.

It's not easy! It's finally not those robots who serve the wine!

Zaun is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts of the valley, which is located next to the city of Piltover on the ground, and the lower Zaun is the bottom of the canyon.
