Chapter 109: The Surprise of Coming to Pi City for the First Time
"Run, baby, it's five minutes before you're arrested. ↖”
In a carriage of the steam train, Fang Yan read these impressive words, closed the book in his hand called "Shooting Practice", and said to himself: "Is the police in Piltover so high-profile? ”
"Shooting Practice" was written by Caitlin, a female police officer in the Pitt City Garrison and a representative hero of Piltover, - Valoran's many city-states have a strong academic atmosphere, and anyone who has made a certain achievement in all walks of life likes to publish a book to "express themselves". The main content of the book "Shooting Practice" is to introduce people to the knowledge of various firearms, and to instruct interested people how to become a qualified gunman (you can understand it as "ADC method", covering your face), which has a great effect on Fang Yan, who has obtained Xia Mang's "confession", a powerful and lethal firearm.
It's noon, and yesterday Fang Yan officially set foot on the land of Valoran 6. Before docking, Fang Yan had already hidden the Black Flag near a desert island, where a large number of dark magic creatures were used as guards, so he didn't worry about theft and other problems, and Fang Yan later took a solo lifeboat.
Piltover was an economically well-developed city-state, and even on the edge of its territory it was not as deserted as Ionia, but more prosperous because of its proximity to the sea. Fang Yan browsed the surrounding scenery with a leisurely attitude, and then took the unique steam train of Piltover and headed towards Dupi City.
Sitting in the train car and reading a book with relish, Fang Yan seemed out of place with the noise around him, but compared to the chaotic Bilgewater, the law here has a strong deterrent effect. The people here also have a strong sense of the law, so there is no "looking for trouble" storyline as Fang Yan imagined.
Soon, though. Fang Yan's attention was attracted by another thing.
A shout suddenly sounded at the end of the carriage, followed by an uproar from a crowd of people. It's as if I've seen something incredible. Fang Yan's curiosity had always been very heavy, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look there, but the carriage was crowded with people, and his eyes couldn't see through it at all.
Originally, although Fang Yan was very curious, he didn't bother to go over when he saw such a situation, but the noisy noise over there not only did not stop, but it tended to intensify, and there were already many people watching. Fang Yan couldn't help it, and squeezed through the crowd and walked over there, wanting to see what was going on.
As a result, Fang Yan was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but sigh that there were too few lively facts that could really make people interested, but it was too troublesome to squeeze it again, so he stayed for the time being. At the center of the onlookers was a table with a pile of playing cards scattered on it, and some scattered money, which at a glance knew was a dispute arising from gambling. But it's not the usual thing. Here several people are scolding at one person, shouting things like "you are a good man", and the scolded person is sitting calmly in his seat, ignoring several people. Fang Yan couldn't help but look at him twice.
The man did not look amazing at first glance, with an ordinary dress and a small top hat on his head. A lot of middle-class people like to dress up like this. But if you look closely, you can see that he seems to have a special temperament, even when he is in the crowd. It can also firmly attract people's eyes and make people pay all their attention to him.
The shouting and scolding on the other side grew louder and louder. The man in the top hat raised his head, his face was still calm without any impatience, and he smiled elegantly: "You say that I am a thousand, but this deck of cards is yours, the whole card is yours, and the cards are also yours, what do you want?" ”
The people on the other side looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
The man in the top hat smiled elegantly again, straightened the cards on the table, and said sincerely: "I can only say that today is my lucky day, you are sorry." ”
Several people on the other side looked at each other, and after whispering for a while, they could only sigh and admit it, although they lost a lot of money, they also knew that the person on the other side was not out of the way, and it was completely by skill that won them, in this case, they really didn't dare to do anything to that person. Piltover has perfect laws, gambling is not a crime here, but gambling is a felony, which is equivalent to stealing and robbery.
The loser admits it, and the rest of the things are not interesting, and the people who watch the excitement will naturally disperse. Fang Yan gave the man in the top hat one last look, and then turned back to his seat. Although this man is quite eye-catching, this is just a small episode for Fang Yan, and it is not worth remembering.
The crowd dispersed, and the man in the top hat sat alone, slowly arranging the cards and putting them in his hands. I looked sideways at the window, and pulled out one from the deck, but it happened to be the biggest card "king", and I don't know if it was a coincidence or deliberately? Holding the cards in front of him, he smiled elegantly and said to himself: "Everything, in the cards." ”
……
Time on the train passed quickly, at least for Fang Yan. When he finished the third book, the steam train whistle began to recede, and after a moment it stopped. Fang Yan's destination has been reached.
It was already evening, and the business could only be postponed until tomorrow, and now what Fang Yan wanted was to find a hotel as a place to stay, eat and stay. Fortunately, although it was the first time to come here, Fang Yan was already familiar with the map of Picheng, and he walked slowly on the streets like a familiar car, and accurately entered one of the most prosperous streets, and he couldn't tell that he was an outsider at all.
This time he came to Picheng, Fang Yan just wanted to find his master's friend Daming Heimerdinger according to the original plan, and learn some science and technology from him, so as to improve his forging skills while increasing his experience. Fang Yan wanted to keep a low profile, but sometimes, trouble would always come to the door.
Let's say now......
Long-term exercise brought Fang Yan's amazing hearing, and a strange sound of "whoosh" suddenly came from a distance that did not escape Fang Yan's ears. Looking up in the direction from which the voice came, I saw the sky not far away, and something that I didn't know what was flying towards this side in a hurry, with a long arrogance behind it, like a meteor, it looked very powerful.
"What is this?" Fang Yan stood in place and looked at the sky curiously, well, with his observation, that thing couldn't hit the position he was in, so he didn't have to worry about being injured by mistake.
At this time, the thing that was approaching in the sky had already been seen by many people on the street, but their performance surprised Fang Yan, most of them turned pale as if they were frightened the moment they saw that thing, and they fled out in a panic, shouting some words that Fang Yan couldn't understand:
"It's a missile! Missile! Come on! ”
"Oh my God! Could it be Jinx again! ”
"Get out of the way! Don't stand stupid! Get out of the way! ”
“……”
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows, looked up at the thing that was already less than a hundred meters away from here in surprise, and said suspiciously: "Trick-or-treating? What's this weird name? (To be continued!)
