"They were organized," I told her, "and they were furious. It's no longer a matter of if things get bigger, but sooner or later. ”

"Okay." She took a deep breath and pondered the current information. "When the trouble starts, do we know where or how?"

"I don't know."

Xiao Kai's next question changed his voice. Deep, quiet. "Did you hear them talk about Hextech?"

"Hextech?" I frowned. "What does this have to do with them-"

"Hextech," she said again, staring into my eyes, "if you hear anyone start talking about gems, crystals, or magic, be sure to let me know right away." ”

I had a question in my head that I didn't want to ask, but I couldn't keep it. "Do you already know what you're looking for, Kai?"

She looked at me. "We're in this group, Vi."

"Who's that?" I was even more upset that she had to answer in this way. "It's not just the Baron that's involved, is it? They have been at odds with the various gangs for many years, and we have never lifted a finger. Suddenly a new player appears that the Baron can't tether, and now you're talking about Hextech. The profits of the major families have suffered, so they want us to go down and take care of Zu'an? ”

Xiao Kai did not answer. I felt a rush of blood rush up my head and exhaled slowly. "Looks like I'll have to look it up myself."

"I've told you everything I can tell you, what else do you need to know." She looked at me and her eyes fell on mine. "You're hurt."

"It doesn't matter." I got up and walked out.

The morning light of dawn does not shine so deeply. The flickering alchemy lamps could not replace the sunlight, and I walked up the steps of the House of Hope again, where the little boy sat alone.

"Hey," I said softly, "remember me?" I'm Roy's friend. My name is Vi. What's your name? ”

We were both cautious, and I got closer. He pouted, his face flushed, and his hands clasped to his chest. "Yurey."

"Yurey," I stopped a few steps away from him. "Do you know where Roy has been, Yurey?"

He nodded. "She's gone."

I felt a chill in my stomach. "Where have you gone, Yuray?"

The boy looked at me, and his wound made the two big eyes on a dirty face brighter. She went home in a rage. Then I left with some friends. ”

"Yurey, this matter is important." I slowly reached out and placed my hand on the steps he was sitting on. He looked at me and didn't dodge. "Do you know where they went?"

"She said they wouldn't wait any longer." Yuray sobbed, "I wanted to go too, but she said I had to stay here." ”

"Where did they go?" I tried to keep my voice as soft as I could, for fear of scaring him, but I was starting to get impatient.

"New Tower." Yure looked towards the mezzanine plaza. "She said they were there to make magic stones. I asked her if she could bring me one, and she said yes, and when she returned, everyone would have a share. ”

I'm already running.

It takes time to get to the middle plaza, but as soon as I get there, I know where to go.

The minaret. It is a symbolic symbol and actual image of the oppressor on the heads of the people of Zuan. It spans two cities, but there is blood and sweat on the Zuan side, and money is left on the Pi City side. At the top of the minaret is a dome, and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce family are in charge of the workers below.

If they look down on a whim, they will see a spectacle. The foundations of their towers will be stained red with blood.

When I arrived, the ground was already full of corpses. Although the Hex Crystal was sent to Leather City, the minaret was built in the yard of the Alchemy Baron, and they also had to rub oil from it, so they would make sure that they had enough strong men to keep the factory safe.

The occultists must have stormed the main entrance, flooding the guards like a tidal wave. I saw bodies scattered on the ground from both sides. The security force is armed, trained and experienced in alchemy technology. But they couldn't stop the crazy wall of people, and even weapons with rocks and sticks were enough to make them rush forward for the slightest chance of revenge.

The door was burst open, and I saw the people at that rally, moving out of the boxes and checking the metal cans on the shelves. I kept my distance and blended in with the crowd. I found where most of the people had gathered, and they were surrounding a pile of chests that had been snatched from the spire. Roy is nowhere to be found.

The sound stands on the pile of boxes. His face was bruised and bloodied, and his clothes were torn. He looked like he had gone through a fierce battle. With a crowbar in his hand, he pried open the box beside him, which contained rows of small, shiny blue stones.

Synthetic Hextech Crystals.

"It's a big day!" The voice held up a piece of crystal in a triumphant gesture. "Behold, this is our instrument of freedom. For so long, we have given everything and received nothing. Today, with them, we will reverse our disadvantages and reclaim what is rightfully ours! ”

His celebration was interrupted, and the metal scraped against the rock with a terrible, cacophonic sound.

Everyone looked over the wall of the minaret, where a dark figure descended slowly, a waterfall formed by filthy sparks. Even from a distance, it was enormous, with an entire arm replaced by a giant cannon, and its torso mounted on a number of mechanical feet that stretched out in all directions, ending in sharp claws, each step carving deep scars into the spire. As it approached, I could see that the upper half of its body was vaguely human, with bloodless flesh welded to metal and swaying green medicine tubes hanging from it, but the legs belonged only to monsters.

Or spiders.

Dreadnought. The name came from the crowd like a prayer.

I thought the voice was a liar, or a victim. I thought he had made it up so he could get people for himself. But he was real. The whole thing suddenly became extremely dangerous.

The dreadnought jumped to the ground, stirring up a cloud of mist and rubble. The people fell silent in awe, his spider-like legs and feet striding along, towering above the head of his preacher.

"You're here," whispered the voice in ecstasy, "you're at last." ”

"Indeed, my witnesses." His real voice was like thunder and lightning, resounding from the furnace of steel. "I'm coming."

I squeezed into the densest crowd of onlookers, my eyes searching, looking for Roy and watching things unfold. The voice jumped down from the wooden box, his hand full of Hex Crystals.

"Great dreadnought," said the voice excitedly, "I offer this to you, won with the blood of your sons and daughters." The key to our liberation. ”

The voice poured the crystal into his master's remaining hand, stepping back to accept the praise.

"Why did you bring this to me?" The hand of the dreadnought tilted slightly, and the crystal spilled to the ground.

There was silence. Then, "I don't understand. The voice said deliciously, watching the priceless gem fall into the dust.

"Obviously."

"We've earned you a fortune. With these, we can buy weapons, form armies. ”

"You think the same as they do." The dreadnought said in a reprimanding tone. He looked at the crowd. "They hate Piltover now, but they respect their ancestors. Diligent and determined, those who possess the power to harness the magic within our world and serve them. They are indeed great. ”

I could feel the confusion in the crowd because I was too. They may have had all sorts of expectations for the Messiah's speech, but I never expected it to be such a statement.
