Jana's actions were really helpless, because Zuan was very short of security personnel, or in other words, if Zuan wanted to protect his life and property, he had to rely on himself. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the street kid 'Time Assassin' Ike is proud of, although the city of Zuan is full of shortcomings of one kind or another, the people of Zuan enjoy at least the highest level of 'freedom' in the whole continent. Of course, this is for the strong: black-hearted businessmen with hands and eyes, laboratory masters who few dare to provoke, warriors who dare to sabotage and fight against everything.

These people enjoy winner-takes-all treatment in Zaun, and they can enjoy the treatment of kings within the limits of their control, and do whatever they want.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zuan is the freest city in the entire Rune Continent, and the degree of freedom even exceeds that of the pirate city of Bilgewater, at least there are certain rules to be followed on Blue Flame Island. It is precisely because of this freedom that in the beehive-like streets of Zuan, merchants selling strange goods can be found on any corner, and as long as it is profitable, there is basically nothing that cannot be bought.

However, the city's political apparatus failed to control it strongly, and as a result, even if Zuan did not have a single soldier, no other city-state would be willing to occupy it and rule it.

Because the entire land belonging to Zu'an was filled with all kinds of opportunistic mercantilists, all kinds of heavily polluting factories of unknown origin, and laboratories for unrestrained and dangerous experiments. And these factories and laboratories continue to produce very harmful pollutants.

When these pollutants began to destroy the environment of Zaun, the clever 'Freedom Council' administrators, with the help of political donations from the merchants, began the project of 'rebuilding' Zaun - for a very low pay, to hire the poor to transport these contaminants with unimaginable toxins back to the peninsula in the east of the city and pile them up!

As a result, the eastern peninsula, which was once blessed with fertile land, has been completely transformed into a huge mountain of garbage.

The city administrators, under the onslaught of the merchants, agreed to their free construction of drains to drain the toxic sewage from the factories and laboratories.

However, when the merchants were insatiable and the factory owners, who were looking for high productivity, began to accept the alchemical products of the laboratory as catalysts to promote production, the resulting high polluting gases obscured the entire center of the city like an iron curtain, and the inhabitants of Zuan bid farewell to the morning sun, because even the monsoon wind from the Sea of Guardians could not blow away the fog.

As a result, the managers who have completed the 'transformation' of the city have completely lost the ability to restrain the merchants.

Since then, any resident who does not want to move out of Zuan will have to accept the terrible environment of the toxic fog in the sky, the waste in the land, and the sewage in the sewers.

Thus, the 'Zuan Freedom Council', which was more symbolic than practical, was powerless to regulate any affairs in Zuan, and their only role was to accept political contributions, regardless of where the money came from.

The Noxian War Machine, which has gradually begun to accelerate, has made the most of this, and although Zaun is not keen on preparing for or participating in the war of empire expansion, mercenary merchants are willing to provide sharp swords, and evil warlocks with no moral limits are willing to provide terrible alchemical items.

As long as Noxus can fulfill it later, the amount of money promised at this time is good.

Svein sent men to Zuanstanvik. In Professor Piertier's laboratory, preparations for the resurrection of Urgart were intensely underway. The fragmented bodies have been reassembled by both sides, and the remaining parts have been solved by Professor Stanwick using his magical technology, and the personnel sent by Svein have mainly completed the subsequent witchcraft rituals.

Soon, Svein would be able to command this loyal subordinate again, and in the most ideal way possible......

At the same time, the 'strategist commander', who temporarily occupies the position of the general of the Imperial High Command, has also sent a working group through the military department to promote cooperation with another Zuan laboratory.

Master Warwick, who has extraordinary alchemical skills, is working day and night with his apprentice Sinjid to produce a powerful chemical poison that will easily disintegrate any army with a strong will to fight, according to the research and development Master Warwick.

But the chemical agent is not easy to produce, and even though Warwick and Sinjid have worked overtime, production is still limited. However, Warwick also promised the Noxus team that he would provide enough poison by the required time.

The Noxian team, who received a satisfactory reply, heard an interesting legend on the street about the deeds of a ruthless and unrighteous Zaun madman before returning.

As a result, they put their trip on hold and stay in the city of Zaun in an attempt to get in touch with Dr. Mondow, who is also a serial killer and a top science maniac. According to rumors, such a guy is the talent needed by the Empire that is about to start a great war, and His Excellency General Svein will also like the topic of 'how to use science to kill people perfectly' that this weird madman has studied.

Of course, if the people in this working group are not considered to be the subjects of study by the scientific madman Dr. Mondo, then their ideas are undoubtedly very attractive.

"Watch out for this Zaun madman. In his eyes, you are dead. ”

The radical soldiers who fought for the idea of Great Noxus apparently did not heed the kind reminders of others, and a daring young officer of the working group knocked on the door of the clinic of the scientific maniac.

……

The Noxian Empire, which has implemented strict military control, still has undercurrents surging in it.

In the General's office, Svein was sneering at the secret report from his secret ally, 'Tricky Queen' LeBlanc.

What is said above is that among the remnants of the old aristocratic ruling dynasty overthrown by the military government, some people falsely claim to be Noxus ****, intending to take advantage of the military junta's preparation for war and the transfer of troops to cause the emptiness of the defense in Noxus City, and connect the old nobles who are unwilling to fail, or political organizations that do not agree with the actions of the military government, in order to restore the intelligence of the aristocracy.

These old aristocrats, who were desperate for power, thought they had seized a favorable period, but they did not expect that their plot would be ruthlessly betrayed by LeBlanc, who had already seen the power of the family.

Behind the secret report is a list of nobles who participated in the restoration, and at the top of the list is the self-proclaimed **** old aristocrat Ryscalio, an incompetent playboy who may just be a marionette in the hands of others.

His gaze swept down, and sure enough, he was followed by Karen. Darkwell, this is the mastermind behind the restoration, as the old aristocratic ruling dynasty, Burnham who has the title of immortal commander. The youngest son of General Darkwell, he has always held a grudge against the military junta that overthrew the rule of the old aristocracy.

It's a pity that he is not really immortal, but has an ability similar to that of a bloodline, and can continue his life by absorbing the life force of others.

But compared to the endless divine power crowned by the god Danatdis, the gap is like the star and the moon.

The key is Burnham. Darkwell was still very unreal, so Svein had already sent him on his way with his own hands, but he didn't expect that the youngest son of Yu Xian, who was sent away and hidden by him in advance, took the initiative to jump out before he had time to look for it.

These guys, in Du. When Kekao drove them down, he didn't dare to rise up and resist, and now he probably thinks that he is better to bully?

But this is a good thing, just take this opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and they are just small characters that are not to be worried about.

The next name that caught his eye made Svein finally frown: Mystic Warlock Gregory? Hasta and his wife, Shadow Witch Amorim.

How did these two leaders of the organization that pursued the knowledge of the dark mystic art get mixed up with those old nobles who couldn't make it?

Looking at the tricky names on the list, Svein slowly stroked the Blood-Eyed Raven who jumped from his shoulder to the back of his hand, and after a few minutes, the Blood-Eyed Raven jumped back onto Svein's shoulder, and the 'Strategist Commander' had an idea.

His saw-like voice sounded in the general's office: "Someone! Call Darius to me. ”

"Yes! General Svein. ”

……

In the Golden Strait between Ionia and the mainland, the 'Lucky Sea' passenger sailing ship has been sailing on the sea for most of the day, and it is one of the two most beautiful times of the day on the sea.

But the bow of the ship was not a good place to enjoy the scenery, and Ezreal, who had gone up to the deck to find Lux back to the cabin to prepare dinner, walked to the stern of the ship, and saw the girl snuggled on the side railing of the ship, staring at the golden sea in the setting sun.

Walked lightly to the side of Lux who was on the march, and looked at the girl's more quiet and lovely side face in the afterglow, Ezreal was reluctant to disturb the beauty of this beauty for a while, so he waited quietly.

It wasn't until the sunset sank to the point that the calm was broken by a group of swallow fish that leaped out of the water, perhaps because there were predators chasing them underwater, and some of them jumped out of the sea to avoid the swallow fish, and they crashed into the 'sea of fortune' in a panic, and also woke up Lux who was drunk in the golden sunset.

Subconsciously took a step back, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at her companion standing not far away, and the girl said with a little shame: "Ah, Ize." When did you come? ”

"Hmm... I, I just came. Ezreal, who had also just woken up, replied in a more panicked manner than the other party.

"Huh~~" The young man's panicked and disguised expression made Lux can't help but chuckle, this guy really can't lie, and he touches his nose when he's nervous, the smart Lux doesn't need to think much to know that the other party has been here for some time, so he playfully quipped: "Have you seen enough?" ”

But as soon as the words came out, two red glows flew on Lux's lovely face, which looked as beautiful as intoxicating red wine in the setting sun.

Taking a few steps forward, Ezreal suppressed the panic in his heart and expressed his admiration for the first time: "Lux... I、I think I'll never get enough of it, actually、Actually, I really like you! ”

Ezreal had barely closed his eyes to have the courage to say it, and when he did, he felt like a burden.

In the face of emotional matters, you must dare to tell him.

Kane, a friend who has been a friend of countless women, guides Ezreal, who has little emotional experience, in this way. At the moment, it seems that this sentence is very reasonable, as long as you dare to say this sentence with a cheeky skin, then the result will only be good or bad, and there will be less suffering.

The 'explorer' who expresses his truest emotions is to wait for the other party's response.

The light on the deck began to dim, and gradually obscured the flush on Lux's face, and feeling the soft sea breeze blowing around her, the girl took the last of her rays to meet Ezreal's firm and bright gaze for a moment, and finally could not resist the scorching gaze, and half-turned her pretty face.

"Why, Senior Ezreal?" Lux's heart was also volatile, although she was a little slowly aware of it in the later relationship. But the girl also has her own pursuit of love, and she doesn't like the natural feelings that arise from two people who have been together for a long time.

"What, why?" Ezreal, who found the problem a little strange, didn't quite understand what the cute girl meant at this time, and then he suddenly reacted to how to answer: "I don't know, Lux." I never thought about it. I just, just liked you from the first time I saw you, and I didn't think about why I liked you......"

The girl, who was a little surprised by the answer to the 'explorer', turned to look at the other party and asked again, "First sight?" ”

Lux didn't believe it, many of the flamboyant guys in the school who talked to her started like this, and the first time Lux met the 'explorer' was in his archaeology class, she didn't believe that Ezreal would be as impressed as he said he would be if he looked at her a few times.

"yes, uh... It's hard to believe," Ezreal replied with a nod of affirmation, "Although the light wasn't very good at the time, and I only saw your back, it was deeply imprinted in my mind......"

Something seems wrong? Bad lighting and backs? It doesn't seem to be the same thing?

The girl's face was full of surprise, and Ezreal thought that the other party just didn't believe it, so she added, "Do you remember the time when I was locked in your brother's room, and you happened to come to him?" ”

"You mean... Boulder Mountain City, Izawa, the time you asked me to help you retrieve your identification? Lux recalled with some hesitation.

"Hmm...... Yes. I only saw your back in my room at the time, and then I kept imagining you in my mind, but when I actually saw you outside the castle guard's mansion, I realized that any imagination was less than one-tenth as beautiful as you......" Ezreal's mind seemed to return to the amazement it had when they first met.

It's just that Lux's expression seems to be very wrong, and she finally realizes the huge difference between the two sides in their definitions at first sight, it turns out that she is in Piltover School of Magic, for this guy, she is not even a passerby?

Didn't leave any impression in this guy's eyes at all? Maybe I didn't say it at the time, and the stupid Izawa didn't know that the two were in the same school?

This......
