The gentle sea breeze whipped the surface of the water, stirring up ripples. At the end of the horizon, a red sun is slowly falling. The beautiful sunset will set off the majestic pier in the distance.

It's finally here.

Lu Yang let out a silent sigh.

After more than a month of boredom adrift in the sea, he was almost bored to death.

Unlike when he went to sea before, he not only had to pay attention to the dangers that might come at any time, but also had to look for sea beasts under the surface of the sea, and every day was very fulfilling. However, this time he was on a merchant ship, taking the safest and most mature course, and the most dangerous thing along the way was only a few bands of robbing pirates.

In this world of extremely poor entertainment conditions, taking a boat is not a comfortable thing, fortunately, these Piltover businessmen brought a lot of books and spent a lot of time, especially some travelogues, in which the Italian and otherworldly customs recorded made Lu Yang also increase a lot of knowledge.

Bang la blah.

Taking advantage of the last rays of sunset, the ship sailed into the dock.

The captain of the merchant ship, who was dressed in a strong suit, tall and strong, and had a sci-fi-looking Hex firearm pinned to his waist, found Lu Yang on the deck.

"My lord, we have arrived at Piltover, we may have to rest here for a few days and replenish some resources, please forgive me."

Lu Yang nodded: "It's okay, this is what I said before." Also, I would like to visit these two famous cities. ”

Hearing Lu Yang's answer, the captain secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew Lu Yang's identity, he was just the captain of a small merchant ship, although he had some status, but he still couldn't afford to be provoked in the face of the Sword and Rose deputy gang leader who was about to rule Bilgewater.

The purpose of his stay here is, of course, not just to replenish resources, but also to have some goods to dispose of, and at the same time to buy some more. Although these things were said before, I am afraid that this adult will suddenly have some ideas, or change his mind, and it will be troublesome.

After the two made an appointment to leave, the sturdy captain went to work on something else.

As for the past few days, Lu Yang will act alone, and these captains naturally will not have any opinions on this.

The boat docked at the pier, and after dropping the anchor and fixing it, a ladder was erected on the shore.

The sturdy captain was the first to come down, and there were already people waiting on the dock, looking at their acquaintance, it was obviously not the first time they had met.

Lu Yang followed.

Naturally, he didn't have to be responsible for the negotiations, Lu Yang looked around and said, "Captain Flo, then we'll see you in a few days." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, I wish you a good time." The captain named Flo said respectfully.

The bearded man who greeted him looked at this scene with curiosity in his eyes.

He knew his old friend very well, when the family was in decline, he resolutely went to that sin city alone to fight, and now not only has the prestige of the family been restored, but even higher than at the peak.

To make this achievement, although he is well-informed, unlike those noble heirs, he also has his own arrogance, and he rarely sees his old friend so awe, even ...... Fear?

Because the old friend covered it up well, he wasn't very sure.

As soon as Lu Yang left, he couldn't help but ask, "Flo, who was that just now?" ”

"He." Flo glanced at his old friend, his tone was complicated, and his eyes were full of awe: "A man known as the Sword of Death." ”

"The Sword of Death?" The bearded man repeated in a low voice, this title is not a simple person as soon as he hears it.

"As I said last time, Bilgewater has changed a lot lately, and the sword and rose I mentioned ......"

Captain Flo slowly told the bearded man a brief account of the legend of Sword and Rose and Lu Yang, and after speaking, both of them were speechless for a long time.

"Perverted."

……

Lu Yang didn't know about the conversation between the two, and he wasn't interested in knowing.

He strolled along the pier.

Here is a noticeable difference from Bilgewater.

The pier in Bilgewater has a clear rough, simple, and bloody character, but it is full of technology.

Huge steel buildings, strange Hextech devices, clean and tidy streets, orderly workers, and richly dressed merchants......

In contrast, Bilgewater lived in the Middle Ages, while Pittover has entered the modern era.

The architecture, environment, and living conditions here are indeed very similar to those of the modern West, except that Hextech has replaced things such as steam engines, internal combustion engines, and generators.

Hextech is a fusion of magic and technology, which is fundamentally different from the technology of Lu Yang's previous life, and its generation and development are rooted in something called Hex's crystal.

It contains magical energy that can be harnessed.

Using this kind of thing, those skilled craftsmen created many magical tools, including weapons.

It is worth mentioning that genuine Hextech products are very precious.

Lu Yang stopped and observed, although this pier is very large and the road conditions are complicated, there are conspicuous signs on the side of the road, and there are guards standing guard at a distance, so even if it is the first time to come, you will not get lost.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Yang thought about it for a while and decided to find a hotel to stay in first.

He walked quickly, followed the directions on the side of the road, and quickly walked out of the dock.

A wide, paved road appeared in front of him.

Lu Yang was a little distracted, and even had the illusion that he had never crossed over.

"Sir, are you in a car?" A respectful greeting interrupted his fantasy and pulled him into reality.

Lu Yang turned his head to see that it was a carriage driver, and it seemed that Hextech had not been developing for long, at least, there were no items similar to cars here.

"Go to Stellar Boulevard." Lu Yang has done it in advance, this is the most prosperous place in the city.

The coachman was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, Stellar Avenue is a little far away, so ......"

While.

Lu Yang popped out a gold coin and swirled it into the coachman's hand.

Looking at the dazzling light, the coachman thought of something, and his eyes showed surprise, and sure enough, he heard Lu Yang say the next moment.

"It's yours."

The coachman smiled, and under normal circumstances, this is his income for a full day.

"May the gears turn, generous sir."

The meaning of this sentence is probably that life is smooth and career is satisfactory. Of course, this is just Lu Yang's speculation, and the gap is not far away.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Yang kept observing the outside.

The architecture of Piltover is clearly divided between old and new.

The old and the new are bounded by the emergence of Hextech.

The new building is a modest and elegant blend of smooth marble, bronze grids and gleaming glass, while the old buildings are staggered with rough stone and old timber.

As we move away from the marina, we get closer to the bustling area of Birgewater.

The road began to gradually narrow, and there were more and more buildings on both sides, becoming more prosperous and taller. Many of the buildings are fitted with alchemy-powered door lamps, and although the sun has set, Birgewater is still bustling and does not appear dark.

There is already a great similarity between this place and the society of his previous life.

For example, well-established laws, strict and conscientious guards, good order, bustling commerce, increasingly developed entertainment and service industries, respected scientists, well-paid artisanal professionals, protected patents, money, and a ruling class that is fully minted, and so on.

There are too many things that Lu Yang is interested in here, but unfortunately he doesn't have much time, so he needs to appreciate its charm more seriously.

And, of course, its sister city, Zaun.
