Chapter 132: Soldier of the Future—Ezreal
Zaun is located in the northern part of Valoran, adjacent to Piltover and Noxus, and happens to be an enemy and an ally. ∮∮, Zaun was known as a "city-state distorted by misused technology and magic", where countless notorious creations of horror technology and magic were invented. In fact, the Zaun government was formed to protect Zuan's experiments from opposition. The souls of the city's founders came here in pursuit of academic freedom under Pittover's conservative laws, and as a result, Zaun has excellent scientific research, but the lax management and control of scientific and magical research makes Zaun a dangerous place to live.
The city-state of Zaun is unlike any other Valoran city-state, with a haze covering the city-state, and the color of the sky changing from gray to green. Residents always wear masks, unidentified exhaust fumes from factory chimneys fill the air, acid rain scarred Zuan's buildings, and chemical and magical waste from witches' spells are discharged into the sewer system, seriously affecting the stability and safety of the environment.
The reason for all of this is Zuan's laissez-faire experimentation with technology and magic. Zaun even proudly boasts that it is home to the largest variety of chemical research centers in Valoran. A large number of city-states, including even rival Pittover, had chemical trade with Zaun. In addition, Zaun is also the alchemy center of Valoran, with only a handful of alchemists living outside of Zaun. Needless to say, the dangers of the chemical industry are more unreliable and unpredictable than alchemy. Therefore, life in Zuan can be careful.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Zu An, even Fang Yan had to admit that Zu An's research attainments in all kinds of strange technology and magic were too high. That's exactly what happened. Fang Yan had to go to Zu'an to find the missing link in forging equipment for EZ.
In fact, it stands to reason that I want to learn such high-end knowledge. For Fang Yan, who had no roots in Zu'an, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky. Don't look at Fang Yan, who easily learned scientific and technological knowledge in Picheng, and has a good relationship with the great inventor and Jace. But this is because Fang Yan took Dolan's letter of introduction, and his master Dolan introduced Fang Yan's identity to his old friend the great inventor, so Fang Yan was able to learn the technology of Picheng. Otherwise, you won't be able to find a way out of who you love and who you love.
When he went to Zu'an, Fang Yan encountered such a problem - there was no way. Although Dolan is one of only a few master blacksmiths in Valoran today, that doesn't mean he can save face anywhere, and Zaan is one of them. Dolan is an Ionian, and Ionia and Noxus and their ally Zaun are all enemies, and if Fang Yan's identity is revealed in Zuan, it is more likely that he will be captured by Zaun's faction. At that time, no matter whether you can escape or not, at least there is no hope of learning knowledge.
What's more, what Fang Yan wants to learn is relatively high-end knowledge, this level of scientific and technological magic knowledge already belongs to Zu'an's national-level strategic problem, even if he spends money, it is impossible to find a way, but it is very likely to attract the attention of Zu'an's official and be taken to investigate as someone with ulterior motives. So, it's definitely not as simple as you think.
However, in fact, this is not an unsolvable problem for Fang Yan. That's right. Fang Yan has no foundation in Zu'an, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't know Zu'an's people, and this person is still a person with a certain social status in Zu'an. That's right, this person is the Zu'an giant merchant that Fang Yan once had contact with on the Sea of Watch. Gilgamesh. The importance of networking is evident in this moment!
While watching the Sea, Fang Yan helped Gilgamesh and his butler Kiri escape from Planck's capture, which was a favor. As a result, the two formed a partnership. Gilgamesh gave Fang Yan a token, saying that if something happened, he would go to Zu'an's xxx to find him. This token came in handy at this moment. After a few months, Fang Yan saw Gilgamesh again.
Explain to Gilgamesh what he meant. Fang Yan asked him for help, and Gilgamesh happily agreed, this kind of thing was not difficult for a person of his status. Unlike Piltover, Zaun's best place to study technology and magic is not the big school, but the institutes. Under Gilgamesh's arrangement, Fang Yan came to an institute as an assistant, and the owner of this institute was one of Zuan's representative heroes, the "alchemist" Sinjid.
It should be noted that this research institute is just a very ordinary one among the dozen or so research institutes under Sinjid, and it is not an exclusive research institute of Sinjid, and it is really not easy to meet Sinjid. This is good news for Fang Yan, staying by the side of a high-IQ person like Sinjid, the possibility of being seen through is too great.
As for why he came to Sinjid's institute? There is no other reason, just because Xin Jide's research direction is the closest to what Fang Yan wants to learn. Here we have to talk about the classification of several disciplines in the academic world of Zu'an: black magic, biochemistry, and science and technology, these three disciplines are the ace disciplines that Zu'an has become famous for.
Today, the two giants of the academic community in Zu'an are the "alchemist" Sinjid and the "mechanical pioneer" Victor, Sinjid's main research direction is biochemistry, and Victor's main research direction is science and technology. In the other of the three disciplines, there are no giants of Sinjid and Victor - no, there were, and that was Sinjid's master, Warwick, who had mysteriously disappeared for a long time. Seriously, Warwick has reached an extremely advanced level in both dark magic and biochemistry, and Sinjid has only inherited his talent in biochemistry and has not studied dark magic too deeply. However, even so, Sinjid has become one of the two giants of Zaun's academic circles today, and you can imagine how terrible Warwick was back then.
In fact, about the missing Warwick, Fang Yan knew some secret inside information, these are all yes. Things have to start with the war between Noxus and Ionia, Warwick can be described as a bad record in this war, and the various chemical agents he concocted caused extremely great damage to the Ionians, and it can even be said that more than half of all the Ionians who died in that war died because of the potions researched by Warwick and others, and his name is equivalent to death and demons in Ionia.
Afterward. Unable to endure Warwick's evil deeds any longer, Soraka, the "Child of the Stars", at the cost of his own divinity. Summoning the wrath of the Heavens to descend on Warwick, the curse turning Warwick into a wolf in human form. But. Although Warwick lost the scholarship he relied on to become famous, he gained an astonishing physique and terrifying combat power, and even joined League of Legends, earning the nickname "Bloodthirsty Hunter" and unbridled to vent his beastly anger.
As for Warwick's whereabouts now? Fang Yan really didn't know, and he didn't care if he knew. For Fang Yan now, the most important thing is to work hard to learn Zu An's biological and biochemical knowledge in the research institute to prepare for his future forging work.
When one puts oneself into one thing, time becomes fast. Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past three months, because of the shackles of things, Fang Yan rarely regained his heart and lived a very low-key life, almost every day from the canteen to the research institute. Fortunately, things went smoothly, and there was no turmoil on the way, Fang Yan was silently studying and researching every day, constantly increasing his knowledge. In these days, Fang Yan also met some new friends, but because of his hidden identity, he was afraid of being seen out. It's all a nodding acquaintance who has tasted the relationship. Overall, the three months have gone well.
When the time was ripe, Fang Yan felt that he had reached a bottleneck, and there would be no breakthrough growth if he continued to study. Fang Yan understood that this learning journey had come to an end. Fang Yan's knowledge of biochemistry was enough to support his plan. It's time to go back.
Returning to Picheng, Fang Yan did not go to EZ in the first place. Instead, he approached Heimerdinger and Jace and explained their design and plans to them. I hope to get the help of the two. Because it was about EZ, one of Piltover's representative heroes, the two agreed without much thought. The "Save EZ Project" was officially launched.
In the following month, the three of them were almost immersed in the laboratory, and many times they didn't even bother to eat, and devoted themselves to Fang Yan's design. is also because of this, although there were many difficulties encountered in the middle, they were finally overcome by the three of them one by one. The main researcher of this experiment is Fang Yan, because this design requires knowledge of three aspects, forging technique, Picheng technology and Zuan biobiochemistry, so although the great inventor and Jace are both giants in the scientific world, the experiment can only be dominated by Fang Yan, and they can only assist on the side. Hehe, he can let these two cattle people be his assistants, and if he goes out, he will be shocked, Fang Yan can be regarded as brilliant.
After a month of experimentation, this thing was finally completed and presented in front of Fang Yan and the others. This is a complete set of armor, with silver and black as the main tone, and there are many delicate accessories, which looks quite sci-fi. In fact, strictly speaking, this set of armor is not equipment, and there is no rune power attached to it, so it is more appropriate to call it a tool. However, it doesn't matter if it's equipped, it's what matters is its function.
While it's pretty sure, anything new will definitely require a lot of testing, and this suit is no exception. Fang Yan did not participate in the later test, but handed it over to the Great Inventor and Jace, and the two of them were fully responsible. As for Fang Yan, there is another thing to prepare, which has been promised a long time ago.
Three days later, the post-test work of the armor was completed, and Fang Yan's own affairs were also completed. Then, the Great Inventor went back to rest, and Jace and Fang Yan went to EZ's house together and handed him the armor.
Facing the two smiling people in front of him, looking at this suit of armor, EZ had an expression of disbelief on his face. He was a little hesitant and didn't dare to put it on and try it out, for fear that his hopes would be disappointed again. Finally, with the encouragement of Fang Yan and Jace, EZ finally put on this suit and cautiously began to try.
A familiar light emanated from his hand...... Although the color has changed to blue, its essence has not changed, and the memory tells EZ that this is his own power!
Future Warrior, Ezreal, is here!
Then, Fang Yan told EZ what it means to be happy. Under EZ's puzzled gaze, Fang Yan handed it something - this was the equipment that Fang Yan had spent three days forging forged.
【Ice Vein Gauntlet.】
+60 armor
+30 Ability Power
+10% cooldown reduction
+500 mana
Passive - Cursed Blade: After casting a skill, the next normal attack will deal an additional physical attack damage equal to 125% of your base attack to enemies around the target, and create a slowdown field that lasts for 2 seconds, reducing the speed of enemy movement in the field by 30% (cooldown is 1.5 seconds, or halved in size if ranged heroes). 】
This piece of equipment called "Ice Vein Gauntlet" was carefully selected by Fang Yan from the "Forging Atlas", in fact, there are many equipment on it that are quite suitable for EZ, but Fang Yan still chose this one after thinking about it for a long time. After all, having fought with EZ , Fang Yan still knows him well, EZ is already very flexible, and with this equipment that can slow down and increase group injuries, his performance in battle will definitely be several grades stronger than before.
In fact, Fang Yan originally wanted to design a tailor-made equipment for EZ by himself, but it would take too much time, and he couldn't give it to EZ with his armor, so there would be no feeling of surprise duet. So, choosing from the "Forging Atlas" has become the best choice, anyway, this equipment is quite suitable for EZ, isn't it?
Sure enough, EZ couldn't hold it in the face of this surprise duet instantly, and his temperament changed from melancholy to his previous sunny and cheerful in a second, and his face was full of smirks that did not match his usual performance, and he couldn't stop laughing. With these two things, EZ not only completely regained its strength, but its combat effectiveness was even higher than before.
Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, a lot of things in Picheng had finally come to a successful conclusion. That means it's time to leave. Although he was very comfortable in Picheng, this was not Fang Yan's home after all, he was just a passer-by, and he still had a lot of his own things to do.
Before leaving Picheng, Fang Yan said goodbye to the many friends he had met here. The great inventor Heimerdinger, the heroic bombardier Kutch, the future guardian Jace, the explorer Ezreal, the policewoman Caitlin of Leather City, the sheriff of Leather City, and the rampaging Lori Jinx...... Unknowingly, Fang Yan made so many friends in Piltover, and his days in Piltover were indeed unforgettable. However, they still have to leave after all, although they tried their best to stay, Fang Yan had already made up his mind.
(The plot of the slot suddenly found that it was the only one who missed the clockwork...... The play of the humanoid puppet girl's heart is not too good, but I forgot about it, it's ...... I don't think I'm a gentleman. )
As for where he was going next, Fang Yan had already decided. In fact, he originally planned to return directly to Ionia, and after more than a year and a half of traveling, it was time to go back. However, after talking with EZ for a while, Fang Yan changed his initial mind and prepared to go to another place first.
War College! (To be continued......)
PS: Fang Yan is finally going to join the League of Legends! Sprinkle flowers! u
