Accompanied by Lao Jiagu, Zhang Chen spent a day sightseeing in Picheng.

Stellar Avenue, Zindello's Land of Miniature Runes, the Ecliptic Basement, and even Piltover's Treasury, Old Jagu also took Zhang Chen around.

No one would think so, because the ecliptic vault was the safest bank in the entire Piltover, or even the entire Runeterra, even if Zhang Chen knew where it was, he was confident that Zhang Chen would not be able to steal or destroy it.

"You've got a good look at the treasury!"

Zhang Chen deliberately reminded that in two days he would talk to Lao Jia Gu about turning Piltover into a part of the Zongji Empire, and if the other party did not agree, then let Cheng Mo empty their treasury, and even empty their ecliptic basement. If they do not agree to such a gentle approach, then only war can wake them up.

"Don't worry, I have absolute confidence here."

Old Jagu said confidently.

"Well, we'll see."

"Haha, are you trying to steal our treasury? You can try whatever you want, and whatever you can steal will be given to you! ”

Seeing that this old guy is so confident, no matter what he chooses, Zhang Chen has to let someone steal it once.

"Okay, so if I move all your treasury, does that mean Piltover can become the city of my Zongji Empire?"

"If you really have the ability, then we will admit it."

"A word?"

"It's a deal!"

The day passed like this, and Zhang Chen stayed in Piltover for one night, although it was not as comfortable as the modern presidential suite, but it also had the feeling of the eighties and nineties.

"Today I want to visit Zaun."

It was Lao Jiagu who acted as a tour guide for Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen said his purpose today.

"Okay, Your Majesty, it's okay to go, but I think your feelings today must be very bad."

Zaun is a sprawling underground town nestled beneath the winding ravines and gorges around Piltover. Its environment is always hazy because of alchemy technology, and even a little haze can affect Picheng.

There was a loose alliance between the powerful alchemy barons of Zaun for mutual convenience, each of which controlled an area of the city. It is they and their thugs who keep order in Zaun, otherwise there would be great chaos here.

It is ruled by a group of alchemy barons, and the entire region, as well as the people of the entire Zuan region, is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

The Upper Corridor, also known as the Dance Corridor, is the top floor of Zaun and runs parallel to the lower urban area of Piltover, but the two are architecturally different and should not be confused. The wealthy people of Zaun shopped, dined, and exchanged goods and supplies from the lower classes.

The meso-plaza is deep in Zuan, where brokers, merchants, hawkers and entertainers mingle with trading posts and workshops carved out of the cliffside. This is where the Zaun haze lingers for the longest time, and the people of Zaun will tell you that most of the things that keep the city running are done here.

Trench! It is the deepest part of Zaun, and it is also the dirtiest, most active area. This is where the source of the Zaun haze comes from, rising from the foul-smelling open ditches or rusted vents.

When Zhang Chen offered to take the public Hex pressure conveyor (the elevator between Picheng and Zuan) to take a look around the middle floor and the gutter, old Jagu refused without hesitation, and showed deep disgust.

"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go by myself."

For this kind of aristocratic disease, Zhang Chen has nothing to look down on, everyone has their own way of living, you must know that before "death", when Zhang Chen was a rich second generation, he was definitely much more hypocritical than this old Jia Gu.

"Wait, Your Majesty the Emperor, I can't accompany you, but I can find a friend to take you around."

After waiting for a while, old Jagu found a... Lady?

"This is Walweiting. Baron Lannal, one of the alchemical barons of Zaun, and with her by her side, Your Majesty you will surely know what you want to know and see what you want to see. ”

Old Jagu found someone to replace him and left.

"Hello, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Honored Zongji Empire."

Baron Lannal also greeted Zhang Chen warmly, although she was one of the rulers of Zu'an, but she had to respect Zhang Chen.

She knew that even if Picheng and Zuan combined, they wouldn't be able to capture a castle in Noxus!

This is the deterrent effect brought by strength.

"What are you...?"

"Oh, every out-of-t-place who sees me for the first time asks me that."

Baron Naraner was accustomed to it, and she told Zhang Chen her story.

It turned out that Baron Naraner had many interests in Piltover, and her main business was the development of robotics. Her original body was in tatters and her days were numbered, so she transplanted her head into a Hex-powered substitute. She regularly travels to Piltover for liquid baths, as well as for blood and oil transfusions.

With the end of the story, Zhang Chen and Baron Nalaner had already arrived at the middle square of Zu'an.

"I think you need a filter."

Baron Nalaner motioned for his subordinates to bring it to Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen said that he couldn't use it.

The alchemy exhaust gas here is highly toxic, and the damage to the human body is very serious, if you are born to live here, you will not bring it, because their bodies will more or less carry some antibodies after a long period of evolution, but outsiders, without a filter device, no matter how strong a person is, he will not last for half an hour.

"If a small exhaust gas can knock me down, then I think the emperor of the Zongji Empire should be able to be replaced."

I didn't understand what Zhang Chen meant, but Baron Nalaner still insisted on him bringing it anyway.

She can't stand the wrath of the Zongji Empire!

Think about it, they gave me back the poison gas to her, and the people of the Zongji Empire can't find themselves desperate? I'm just a little Baron Zaun! Even the city of Zaun can't be owned alone, how can it fight against an empire that can invade Noxus?

"Has it always been so quiet here?"

Walking around the middle square for a while, and finding that this small area is surprisingly quiet, Zhang Chen asked incomprehensibly, and by the way, he also diverted Nalan'er's attention from being quite bitter, and he always let himself bring that filter.

"This ...... Go and see what's going on. ”

I had been trying to persuade Zhang Chen to bring a filter, but after Zhang Chen's reminder, she noticed the difference and asked her subordinates to check it.
