The moonlight was hidden behind the clouds, and the dim light reflected a different figure.

Caitlin, who had become a turtle in an urn, desperately pointed her gun at the commander of the alchemy warrior of Zu'an, and her crosshair was firmly on the head of the man with a black scorpion tattoo on his face, in her opinion, if she could kill the commander with one shot, maybe the Zuan monster would get out of control,

In the face of Caitlyn's sniping, the black scorpion stood still, waved his hand at the reinforcement warrior who was about to strike, and smiled coldly.

Without further hesitation, Caitlyn pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The rifle bullet came out of its chamber and flew at the bridge of the black scorpion's nose at a fleeting speed, and the black scorpion tilted its head as it was about to hit.

"Whew!"

The bullet grazed the black scorpion's cheek and hit the concrete floor diagonally, making a small crater.

Reloaded, Caitlyn fired again, this time deliberately aiming at the black scorpion's chest, but the black scorpion turned directly to the side, and once again 'dangerously' avoided the bullet.

Caitlin finally understood that it should not be said that it was dangerous and dangerous, it should be said that the enemy's reaction speed and ability to act had exceeded her imagination, and perfectly avoided the ballistics.

The silver moonlight returned to the earth, and in Catelyn's trance-like gaze, the black scorpion twisted its neck and said in an indifferent tone.

"Little girl, you don't understand the great power of the man standing before you, and you don't need to understand what a terrible price we have paid for this day, but you only need to know that not only you, but more Mrs. Piltworth will pay for your arrogance, and that the rifle you are proud of is nothing more than a useless burning stick before us.

Oh, the brothel of Zaun should not only be Zaun, but also have a place for your Madame Piltworth, and if it were a young girl like you, there would be many men willing to pay a lot of money just for the pleasure of one night...... Of course, if you kill yourself now, you may be able to avoid being insulted. ”

Slightly shaken in her face, Caitlyn pulled the bolt to complete the reload, and tried to retort with a tense face.

"You say the people of the upper city are arrogant, I ...... I can't deny it, but I must tell you that this should not be a reason for you to provoke a war and shed innocent blood!

The council has always been committed to balancing the relationship between the two cities, and if you have any grievances, you can report them to the council......"

"Parliament? You say let's report to parliament with a bunch of poor desperate ghosts? Are you fucking kidding?

As if he had figured something out, the black scorpion laughed angrily.

"No, no, you're not kidding, you're just a little princess who hasn't experienced despair, hasn't walked through a stinky ditch, you must be a noble lady, right? Yes, of course, you won't understand how difficult it is for the 'gutters' you call to redress your grievances against the legislators. ”

"You enjoy the blue sky, white clouds, wind and sunshine, flowers and cakes, joyful balls, elegant plays, you naturally absorb the blood of Zuan, you enjoy everything calmly, you have long forgotten what poverty and suffering are, after all, cutting fruit and cutting your fingers in your newspaper is a 'dangerous accident'.

Your three meals a day are eggs, milk and fresh fruits, you can even find cream cakes in your trash cans that you throw away when you take a bite, and we can only enjoy synthetic pieces of meat made of rats and mire frogs, and many homeless people have to eat cockroaches to keep from starving to death.

Do you know what cockroaches smell like? Do you know what it's like to have that rotten almond rotten egg-like smell burst in your mouth, or what it's like for cockroaches to scrape their tongues and gums desperately with their tentacles and exoskeletons in their dying throes?

Crawling out of your mother's womb and you get everything that our group of gutters can't struggle for in their lifetime, you just need to bask in the sun and rent the idle house to us, poor ghosts who are desperately climbing to the city, and you can lie down and collect money,

All the policies you have made, all the laws you have made are safeguarding the interests of the upper city, and in the complex rules and regulations, you have taken away all the rights and left us with countless obligations, forcing us to die in the middle of it.

The so-called legal fairness and equality of personality are just jokes that no one dares to debunk, and the funny thing is that most of the uptown people take the 'equality of the two cities' for granted, as if we really are the beneficiaries of the law.

You enjoy all the power that comes with the established rules, and when you have eaten and drunk enough, you unintentionally lower your head and see the stray dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy at your feet, and you feel superior pity.

Behold, you only need to throw a eaten bone at random on the ground, and you can reap the loyalty of the stray dogs, and easily get the satisfaction of sympathy for the weak, but you never care that the stray dogs are not fed because they have been locked in a cage and broken their legs after you have used them.

Maybe in your imagination, the stray dogs at your feet are eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, right? ”

"Noble lady, you don't want to think about it, if we have redressed our grievances, how can we get to this point?"

Rolling up his sleeves, the muscles of the black scorpion's arms squirmed and swelled in a small circle, and the purple tendons looked full of strength.

Panicked by the black scorpion's words, Caitlyn hung her head, a pain she would never feel in the newspaper.

"Miss Magistrate, since you don't have the courage to commit suicide, let's lay down your weapons, at least you can live if you put down your weapons, and if you're lucky, you may be able to reunite with your family in the future,

As for what you will suffer in the future, it should be an atonement for the sins of the people of the city, and you may feel better. ”

At the sound of the black scorpion, Caitlyn slowly lowered her weapon and sat down on the cold ground.

Seeing this scene, a victor's smile appeared on the black scorpion's face, and his arms gradually returned to their original shape, thinking that he could try it tonight, but an unfamiliar voice came from the darkness.

"You're right, it's just a pity that I can't let you take Catelyn away."

The voice was very familiar, and Caitlin had a young and handsome face in her mind, she was still young at that time, but she had made friends that she would never forget in her life.

Catelyn looked up and stared unblinkingly at the man who had come from the darkness, his eyes fading into his twenties, handsome, slender, with a gentle smile on his face, like a god who had descended from the moonlight.

The dark red military dress and white gloves in the Noxus style set off the dignity and elegance of the man, and there is no lack of iron blood and solemn temperament, which is not the perfection of mortals, and Caitlin has only felt this way in the two of them in her life.

The black scorpion saw the person clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that Hilco had told him that if there were Noxians involved, he must not be an enemy.

Having said that, if you want him to retreat directly in front of his subordinates, where is his face?

"Your Excellency, this Miss Law Enforcement Officer is my trophy, Your Excellency is like taking it away with a word, isn't it appropriate?"

"She is my daughter's friend, since you are unwilling to let go, and you are on the battlefield at the moment, we might as well speak with strength."

Lester smiled and waved at Caitlyn, this action made Caitlyn sure that the man in front of her was the father of Sister Ahri, and the girl was not stupid, so she picked up her rifle and ran in the direction of Lester, hiding behind Lester.

In the face of the Noxians' domineering as always, the black scorpion still didn't dare to make a move after all, and the smile on his face was very stiff.

"Since we are friends of Your Excellency's daughter, we don't want to embarrass Your Excellency, I just want to know, we are going to clear the passage to the upper city, will Your Excellency continue to interfere?"

"This is a war between the upper and lower cities, why should I intervene? As I said, I'm only here for Miss Caitlin. ”

"In that case, let's go first."

"Please."

Seeing Lester get out of the way, the black scorpion's face also looked a lot better, and he headed towards the west with more than two dozen reinforced warriors, obviously to take down the entire dam area.

It wasn't until Zaun's fortified warriors left that Lester looked at the somewhat embarrassed Caitlin, who hadn't seen her for many years, the girl looked mature, but in fact she was still a nestling that had not yet come out of the nest, and there was still a lot of room to grow.

"How did you feel about experiencing war for the first time?"

Caitlin, who wanted to take the initiative to greet Lester but didn't know what to say, calmed down and lowered her head and said sullenly.

"Uncle Liszt, if you don't come, I'll ...... What will happen to me? ”

I didn't expect Caitlyn to ask herself such a question, Lester said in a joking tone.

"If I hadn't come, you, a little beauty, would have been stripped off by them, like that, like that, and then you would be sold to the red light district of Zu'an to pick up customers, and then I would have to go to the red light district to find you."

Smiling hard, Catelyn looked up and looked directly into Lester's gaze.

"Are there many such girls in Zaun?"

Under Caitlin's gaze, Lester's smile gradually retracted, and his attitude became serious.

"There are many, there are many workers in the Zu'an Digou District who can't afford to raise their own children at all, boys can still work in black factories to subsidize their families, girls who are a little older can only be sold to brothels, and many girls have to pick up customers at the age of eleven or twelve.

The brothel takes ninety percent, the prostitute takes one percent, and the prostitute wants to earn money for redemption, at least after the age of thirty, this is still in the brothel's mercy, if someone stumbles, it is difficult for the prostitute to get out of the brothel, and if she escapes, she will be arrested and tortured to death. ”

"Who runs the brothel?"

"The fee for opening on the bright side is higher, which belongs to the alchemy baron, and the fee for opening in the dark is lower, and it belongs to the gang forces."

"Does it make a difference?"

"The money earned by the alchemy baron is mostly used to deal with the councillors and magistrates of Piltover, to maintain the status and status of the baron, and the money of the gang forces is generally used to expand and develop the power of the gang."

"So most of the money still went into the pockets of the councillors?"

"Yes, although there is no record of the accounts, the Zu'an Red Light District is an important source of income for the Upper City Law Enforcement Bureau and certain families."

"No one has ever told me about these things......"

"Because you are kind, upright, and righteous, and have no room for sand in your eyes."

Caitlin looked at Lester stunned, and in the man's deep gaze, she saw pity, appreciation, and tenderness.

"Because you know these things and you don't sit idly by, you want to change all this with your own efforts, but this road is full of thorns and cliffs, and it is easy to die if you are not capable enough.

Your family knows how hard the path can be, and they love you so much that they won't let you know about it all. ”

"No wonder I was always placed guard by my mother in the safest place and never let me get involved in the investigation of a criminal case...... Is this the case with the other Mrs. Piltworth? ”

"Most of the Lady Piltworth have never had the opportunity to know the real Zaun, they have lived all their lives in the good life woven by the Parliament, and they do not see the suffering of the world, and as for those who see it, know what Zaan was like, they don't care at all."

After a moment of silence, Caitlyn adjusted her mind.

"Uncle Liszt, what shall I do?"

"What do you want to do?"

Lester asked Catelyn, who hesitated and shook her head.

"I didn't know what to do, I was worried about my family, I was worried about innocent people getting involved in this dispute, and when I think about it, I wanted to do so much and I couldn't do anything...... If you hadn't come tonight, uncle...... I can't even protect myself. ”

Lester rubbed Caitlin's head, smoothed out the girl's somewhat messy and damp hair, and felt the temperature of the man's palm, and the girl's difficult mood was soothed a lot.

"If you feel embarrassed, then don't help each other, just protect your family, and don't have to fight for the benefit of others.

The right battlefield for you should be a black-and-white crime investigation, and you will stay out of this unjust war. ”

"In that case, am I a deserter?"

"You've never been a soldier, so how can you be considered a deserter?"

I thought that Caitlyn would approve of her suggestion, but Caitlyn pleaded earnestly.

"Can I stay with my uncle?"

"Follow me?"

Lester was surprised,

"What do you follow me?"

"Judging from the attitude of those Zuan people towards my uncle just now, I think my uncle should have a very special relationship with Zuan, as a key business partner of Piltover, the Noxian Empire will definitely not sit idly by and watch this battle between the two cities, perhaps, my uncle is here for this matter...... Is that right? ”

Lester said with a smile as Caitlyn looked at her inquiringly.

"What a smart girl, you're right, but not entirely, I'm here for you."

"For, for me?"

The emotional Catelyn finally showed the shyness of a girl, and Catelyn avoided the man's gaze in a little panic, and her heart was pounding.

"I, I don't understand what my uncle meant......"

Lester turned around with a smile.

"If you follow me, your family will definitely be worried."

"It makes sense that 'Caitlin' has died tonight, and it is because my mother usually keeps me in the ivory tower that I don't realize how dangerous it is tonight, and I can't live by the name of the Gilamane family forever.

In that case, I might as well take this opportunity to look at the world with my own eyes, to see Zaan and Piltover. ”

"It's a willful and greedy girl, who wants to be free from bondage and want to be protected, how can there be such a good thing in this world?"

Caitlyn bit her lip.

"No, can't you?"

"Yes, yes, I happen to be short of a little maid, and you know that as a nobleman in Noxus, you must have a few personal maids to serve, it depends on whether you want to or not."

There was silence for a long time before a sound like a mosquito came from behind Lester.

"Lord, Master......"
