Leather City, Ez Home.

Ever since he was brought back from Shurima by Fang Yan, EZ had been looking lost all the way, like a walking corpse. Losing the ornament he regarded as a treasure, losing the powerful combat power brought by the ornament, and losing his ability to come and go freely in Valoran, he suddenly fell from a high-ranking alliance hero to an ordinary little yellow hair who was a little famous in the leather city, and this huge gap EZ would not be able to bear it for a while.

In fact, no matter who it is put on, this kind of thing can't be beared, if it's an ordinary person from the beginning, it's okay, but from the high to the bottom, how many people can afford such a blow?

Fang Yan also knew this, so he didn't publicize it after bringing ez back, but a few close people still knew about it, and there was no way that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden at all. Jace is also very heartbroken for what happened to EZ, because EZ is Piltover's representative hero, and such a big loss is a pain in the flesh for any city-state, not to mention that they are friends with EZ in the first place - a character like EZ is very popular in the circle of friends.

However, considering EZ's mood, they didn't come to EZ's house to visit him, so it would be better to let EZ be alone at this time, and comfort would only make his mood worse. Of course, except for one person, that is Fang Yan.

Unlike others, Fang Yan had experienced the Shurima incident with EZ after all, and it was most appropriate for Fang Yan to take care of him during the sensitive period of EZ's heart. What the? Why do you say take care of EZ. Does someone so big need someone else to take care of? Just kidding, with the current state of mind, is it possible to get up and cook by yourself? That's right. The hero's physical fitness is good, but EZ is no longer there, now he is just an ordinary person, and there is no need to say much about the end of not eating for a long time.

However, it is not a way to go on like this, who knows when EZ will recover, Fang Yan will never be able to take care of him for the rest of his life, right?

And so it went by for a week. EZ's mentality has finally improved a little, and it is no longer the same as the heart that was dead at the beginning, and the sadness is greater than the death of the heart. Although he still didn't speak, it was much better than at the beginning. However, if you want to really solve the problem, you still have to find a solution to the root cause.

Fang Yan and EZ had a conversation. Although EZ said something like "strength is not important, my favorite is adventure", "it's okay, it's really okay, I've seen it", "Although I have lost my strength, I will continue to take risks, the readers of my "Ezreal's Travels" are still waiting, haha", but Fang Yan knew that EZ was just hard-mouthed, and the look in his eyes betrayed him.

And. EZ kept saying that he was going to take an adventure, but did Fang Yan dare to let him go? Just kidding, EEZ's mentality has changed after losing all its strength. Of course, with his character, it is impossible to do something like suicide, but Fang Yan dares to say that he will definitely take the initiative to crash into danger, on the one hand, to prove to himself that even if he has no strength, he can still take risks, and on the other hand, there may not be a trace of seeking relief in his subconscious. You must know that in the past, when the EZ power had not been lost, it would be very calm in the face of certain dangers. If you exceed your ability, you will run away decisively, and now he has become an ordinary person. But he also took the initiative to crash into danger...... It's not a death seeker!

Therefore, Fang Yan must find a solution to the problem, it is absolutely impossible to let it go like this. Not to mention that what happened to EZ this time also has something to do with him (Fang Yan has discovered the positioning system in the "Golden Country", and knows that Azir was able to find EZ because of this, so he feels guilty about EZ), just talking about the relationship between the two, EZ has long been regarded as an extremely close friend by Fang Yan, how can a friend not help if he is in trouble?

So this week, in his spare time taking care of EZ, Fang Yan has been looking for a way, and finally he thought of a trace of eyebrows.

The core of EZ's problem is not the loss of the charm, but the loss of the power that the charm brings, which makes him an ordinary person. So, as long as EZ regains his power, this problem will be solved.

So, what to do?

Fang Yan had two options, the first was to return to Shurima and retrieve the charm from Azir. However, this method is definitely not as simple as it seems. First of all, Azir wants to get the charm, the purpose is to find Zelas, so the problem comes, Fang Yan is not sure that Azir uses the charm to perform the ritual of finding Zelas, and this ritual will not hurt the root of the charm. It's not impossible, even if there is any possibility, you have to take into account, if you sacrifice your life to get back a piece of waste, then how can your heart be sour.

Then, Fang Yan didn't know if Azir had found Zelas now, so there were two situations. In the first case, Azir and the others have not yet found Zelas, if Fang Yan takes away the charm at this time, Azir and the three of them will fight with Fang Yan. Originally, Fang Yan didn't care, and it wasn't that he hadn't fought before, it was completely true, but ...... After offending the machine spirit of the Sun Disk, Fang Yan didn't dare to pack a ticket and say that he would definitely be able to escape—and it was even more likely that he would stay there forever.

And then there's the second scenario. Azir and the others have found Zelath and have experienced an act of revenge. If Azir and the others win, it is easy to say, Fang Yan believes that he can exchange the charm from Azir for only a certain price. The ornament is just a way for Azir to find Zelas, he doesn't care about the ornament itself at all, and it is possible to give it to Fang Yan for free if he succeeds in revenge - of course, provided that the ornament is not destroyed, and the spirit of the solar disc does not jump out to make trouble with the wind and rain.

However, this is only an ideal situation, in fact, as to whether Azir can win or not, although Fang Yan does not know Zelas, he is still not very optimistic about it. Who is Zelas? Back then, he was an amazing and brilliant character, but now that he has gone through countless eras, he is not sleeping like Azil, and his strength must have reached a rather terrifying height, so Fang Yan felt that Zelas had a better chance of winning. Even if Azil has two helpers, Renekton and Nasus.

If Zelas does win, it's going to be trouble. First of all, Fang Yan didn't know Zelas. I couldn't talk to him at all, and it was still unknown if Fang Yan would be able to find Zelas. Okay, remove the above two questions, Fang Yan found Zelas and communicated with him, can Fang Yan really get the charm? Fang Yan didn't dare to be sure, because this situation was different from Azr and them, and Zeros was the original owner of the charm. The charm has another meaning to him, symbolizing his old years. Therefore, it is more likely that Zelas chose to keep the charm and not trade with Fang Yan.

After thinking about it so much, Fang Yan put the priority of the charm "Return to Shurima and get back the charm from Azir" second. It's better to let it go if it's a low-probability and risky approach. Then, there is only the second method left, to be honest, although this method sounds a little incredible, but for Fang Yan, he has a greater grasp and confidence in the success of this method, which stems from his pride as a forger.

The so-called second way is to re-forge a piece of equipment similar to a pendant by yourself!

That's right, that pendant is quite technical. Moreover, with a lot of mysterious powers attached to Zelas, even after Fang Yan's last experience in the long river of time, his vision and insight have greatly improved. But Fang Yan still hadn't seen through the charm - this was one of the main reasons why Fang Yan admired Zelas.

This pendant, Fang Yan couldn't copy it.

However, this does not mean that Fang Yan really has no choice. As I said before, what EZ really cares about is not that he loses the charm, but that he loses the power that the charm brings, and becomes an ordinary person with no power and only potential. So. As long as Fang Yan forges a replacement that is not inferior to the hanging ornament, let EZ regain heroic strength. This is not a problem at all.

So, let's first analyze the role of hanging ornaments. The power of the pendant itself is not strong, what is really powerful is its role, which is to remove the process of developing potential, and directly turn a person's potential into his instant combat power. As long as Fang Yan was able to forge something with a similar effect, he could make EZ regain his power, because EZ was still in his body, and there was no loss.

Seriously, it's not an easy task. The forging technique of that ancient era is very different from the forging technique that is popular on Valoran now, and the focus of the two is different, so the technical content of doing the same thing is not the same at all. The forging technique of that era, the forged items and the current equipment are not the same thing at all, there are no additional attributes, in general, it is mainly based on people, tools are used as auxiliaries, and the power of the human body itself is developed and utilized, so in fact, the pendant is not the top forging product in that era.

And what about the current blacksmithing? Pay more attention to the strength of the equipment itself, which is the kind of equipment that plays the most intuitive role in combat, but ignores the interaction and connection between equipment and the human body. So, the same thing was easy to do with the forging techniques of that era, but it is really difficult to put it now.

(For example, in "Harry Potter", the pure transformation of the road goods, put it in the popular Chinese magic of Dian Niang many years ago, it is quite a high-level magic, and the various super lethal magic in Chinese magic, put it in HP, it is beyond the existence of the death curse.) In fact, there is no difference between high and low, but the direction of development is different, so it is easy to understand, right? ）

Although he has been wandering in the long river of time for a long time, he is actually no stranger to Fang Yan in that ancient era, but his understanding of everything is just specious, and it is still useless to really involve such a highly professional matter. Therefore, the only thing Fang Yan could rely on was the forging technique he had been using all along.

However, is it that easy? The direction of development is different, with the forging technique of this era, it is really difficult to complete the matter of directly using potential, and even Fang Yan dares to say that his master Dolan may not be able to do it. Therefore, Fang Yan could only find another way.

If it was Fang Yan before, even at that time, he was very confident in his forging skills, but to be honest, there was really nothing he could do in the face of this situation. However, the current Fang Yan was not comparable to him before, except for the forging technique, he knew other things.

The first one, naturally, is the experience that has been gained over time. Although it was plausible, Fang Yan knew at least some basic principles, and after all, it was not the same thing as not understanding it at all, and the role it played would definitely not be small.

The second is the "technology" that Fang Yan learned after coming to Picheng. Needless to say, the difference between technology and traditional blacksmithing is right? It has many advantages that cannot be mastered by blacksmithing, and of course it also has many disadvantages, and the combination of the two can form a fairly perfect complement.

That's not enough, though.

In Fang Yan's plan, the most important link was still missing from the knowledge he currently mastered. If he couldn't master this knowledge, everything Fang Yan envisioned would be just a flash in the pan, and there would be no way to achieve it. However, although Fang Yan didn't understand these things now, he knew where to learn them.

Zaun!

Piltover's nemesis, Zaun!

Piltover is a technologist, while Zaun studies dark magic and human secrets, which can also be called "biochemical" or "biological". In Fang Yan's imagination, although most of the components of the equipment he built used Piltover's scientific and technological knowledge, the key point of the core and link was Zu'an's "biochemistry". Only with knowledge of biochemistry can this piece of equipment be forged.

Therefore, this trip to Zuan is imperative.

Planning everything in detail and making a list of the knowledge he had to acquire, Fang Yan nodded with satisfaction. After that, he went to the EZ showdown and told EZ about it. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, before it is truly realized, Fang Yan is reluctant to tell EZ in advance - of course, it is not that idle eggs are playing with surprises, but that if he does not succeed, EZ will go through a process from hope to disappointment.

However, considering EEZ's current mental state, Fang Yan finally chose to tell him about it, it can be regarded as a picture cake, at least there is this hope hanging on EEZ, and there is no need to worry about what is wrong with him in the short term. As for the rest, let's talk about it later, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

EZ listened to Fang Yan's words, his eyes lit up, now he was like a drowning man, trying to desperately grasp any life-saving straw, Fang Yan's words brought him great hope. So the two made an agreement, and EZ's mental state suddenly improved, and Fang Yan couldn't help but feel relaxed for a while, and at the same time strengthened his belief that he must complete his goal.

With such a belief, Fang Yan set off and rushed to Zu'an alone.
