Chapter 389: I Won't Let You Down
"This is the Shimmer Elixir?"
At this time, Lu Qi and the others had already withdrawn from Carroll's base.
In his hand, Lu Qi was holding a shimmering syringe, and he looked at the purple liquid in it, his eyes thinking.
This is also something he is more interested in, and he has also heard of Shimmer Elixir.
Squeezing a little glimmer into his fingers, Luki sniffed it before putting it in his mouth.
That's just a little bit of a big deal.
But this is not the purpose of Lu Qi, he just wants to know the ingredients of the Shimmer Elixir.
"Grass, rice sand leaves, and magic ears are all plants that are more irritating and addictive."
Luch muttered to himself that the rest of the ingredients could not be tasted by his tongue alone.
However, he felt that it was not difficult to crack the formula of the Shimmer Elixir, after all, Lu Qi was not only proficient in medical skills, but also had a deputy position as a pharmacist of LV6.
To put it bluntly, there are some professional counterparts.
Shimmer medicine can enhance a person's physique in an all-round way, but the side effect is that it is highly addictive and has a lot of burden on the body.
It is a potion that sacrifices the origin of the body in exchange for strength.
Of course, it's more addictive, and part of the reason is that Hilco wants to control more people in this way.
Lu Qi felt that this was very valuable for research, and if he could find a way to minimize its side effects, then the Shimmer Elixir could be effective at a critical moment.
It's like an adrenaline injector.
It's just that the current version is not necessary, it is too harmful.
"When you get back, you inform the Leather City Sheriff and start fighting the remnants of Hilco's influence, especially those related to the Glimmer Elixir."
Luki came back from his thoughts and spoke to Caitlyn beside him.
Hearing this, Caitlyn immediately responded, "Yes." ”
After thinking about it, Lu Qi said again: "Also, let's eliminate some of the worse gangs by the way." ”
Now that he wants to intervene between the two cities, it is inevitable that Hilco will step down.
Because he has a lot of ambitions, and he covers the sky in the lower city, if he continues like this, he will only hinder Luqi in the end.
Even if there is no Carol today, it will be a matter of time before Lucci makes a move.
At the moment, the first thing to be cleaned up is Hilco's Shimmer Factory and the remnants, and in addition to this, Zaun's gang also needs to be cleaned up a little.
Of course, Lucci will not let the magistrates intervene excessively, just act appropriately.
In fact, a city like Zu'an does not need too much interference, and the best way to let it develop freely is to let it go, and after the fall of Hilco, the nature of the people here will be completely unleashed.
That's when a hundred flowers bloom.
As a city at the center of the world, order is maintained in the midst of chaos, and savage growth is the characteristic of Zuan.
Excessive interference only inhibits this nature.
Vi and Ike, who were not far away, both heard Lu Qi's words, and neither of them spoke, a little silent.
They knew that Lu Qi did have such a right, and they felt a little happy and worried that Lu Qi directly took action to clean up the remnants of Hilco's forces.
Thankfully, they don't have to struggle to solve the rest of the trouble.
The concern is that if Luki is going to use this to control Zaun, they don't seem to have a choice.
What will become of Zuan in the future?
Where do they go from here?
At this time, Lu Qi's eyes looked at them and said, "You should owe me a lot of favors this time, and if you have the opportunity in the future, find a way to repay it." ”
Hearing this, Ike and Wei raised their heads, knowing that they did owe this highness a lot of favors.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace.
Because if it weren't for Rouge today, they probably wouldn't be Carroll's opponents.
At that time, the situation will only go in a worse direction, and if you think about it, it seems that it would be better for Shangcheng or this prince to control Xiacheng.
Then, Lu Qi continued, "But for now, I think you have to think about how you should take on the responsibility of the leader of Zu'an next. ”
Listening to Lu Qi's words, Ike and Vi were both puzzled, unable to understand what he meant for a while.
"Since ancient times, there has been a change of dynasty, the fall of the old king, and the accession of the new king. This is true even in cities. ”
As Lucci walked forward, he said slowly, "As far as I know, Hilco was the underground master of the Lower City before this. Now that they have overthrown him, it is natural that they will take over the situation after his fall. ”
Wei seemed to understand what Lu Qi meant, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't there going to be a law enforcement officer going to Shangcheng next?"
"I asked the Upper City to send magistrates, just to help you get rid of all of this faster. There are quite a few casualties tonight, so there is no need to continue. ”
Lu Qi looked at the two of them with calm eyes, "As far as I know, the relationship between the upper and lower cities seems to have been at odds all along, and there is some kind of disagreement between the people on both sides, which is getting more and more intense. ”
"And my idea is to bridge those differences and resolve the feud between the two cities. Zuan is your Zuan, and I think you'd want it to be a better place too. ”
As his voice fell.
Ike gradually understood what he meant, and it was clear that the prince wanted to act as an intermediary to facilitate the relationship between the two cities.
I have to say that this prince is indeed very idle, but he is indeed very good.
Over the years, he has watched the contradictions between the two cities get bigger and bigger, but the people in charge of the two cities have never thought about resolving these contradictions.
They look down on each other and curse each other secretly, and naturally the grievances will get bigger and bigger.
Now, it is people from outside the Twin Cities who have come forward and want to resolve these grievances.
This made Ike feel a little ridiculous, a little self-deprecating, and a feeling of being seen as a joke by outsiders.
After listening to Lu Qi's words, Wei also fell into thought.
She was much more precocious than her peers when she was younger, and she was already aware of the problem at that time.
The grievances between the two cities are actually at fault.
It was a neighbor who lived next door, and I didn't look up and look down. However, after living together for so many years, it has reached the point where they have to slander and curse each other when they meet.
This is not the fault of one party.
It's just that the accumulated complaints make both parties ignore this point, and the relationship becomes more and more discordant over time.
She remembered that Fandel had tried to change that, and that he had tried many things, but they had failed.
"I've heard that you're the daughter of Vandel, the former boss of Downtown, and now Downtown needs a new leader, and I don't think anyone is more suitable than you."
Lu Qi looked at Wei who was thinking, and said directly and clearly.
Wei was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while: "Me? ”
"Yes, I appreciate your tenacity, and I think you are a person who can achieve great things."
Lu Qi said with a smile on his face, "A person like you will not easily abandon responsibility. ”
"Me"
Vi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She wanted to excuse herself, but as Lucci said, she wanted to take on that responsibility.
Growing up in the lower city, her affection for the place is higher than the sky, and she wants to see her hometown get better and better.
You must know that what Wei once longed for the most was to grow up to be like Fandel.
Calm, calm, and flustered management of the lower city.
"I think it's a good fit."
At this time, Ike suddenly spoke.
"I support it too." Jinx, who had been in a somewhat depressed mood, also raised her small hand and expressed her opinion.
She felt that Vi would definitely be a good leader, and she would be able to be majestic when she followed Vi's ass.
Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's easy to say."
Ike smiled, "We used to be messing with you, and now it's the same, Vi, you can definitely do it." ”
Lu Qi said at this time: "There is still a lot of time, don't worry, you think about it." ”
There is still a lot of time, but it's not early, everything that should be done has been done, and what should be explained has been explained, and he just wants to rest now.
The lady next to her yawned for I don't know how many times along the way, and she was so sleepy that she didn't even speak.
If you give her a bed now, this thing will lie on her stomach and keep it for a second sleep.
Seraphine and Oriana are not much better, they are both punctual and punctual types, and once they stay up late, it takes a lot of effort, and when they are relaxed, they naturally start to get sleepy.
So Luci prepared the rest for tomorrow.
He walked simply.
But the parliamentarians and law enforcement officers who were woken up in the middle of the night were very confused.
What's going on?
Soon, when the councillors learned of what had happened in the lower city, they were also not tempered. They were all smart people who knew what the prince was trying to say.
So he didn't ink, and quickly began to arrange, dispatching law enforcement officers.
As for Hilco, several councillors still know each other, after all, he is in charge of the lower city.
On the surface, he is an industrialist, but in fact, he has the final say in the lower city, and some of the councilors present have even received money from him.
It's just that such a person, with the intervention of the prince, will disappear overnight.
Fortunately, the prince did not cross the line too much, and knew about this matter and asked Shangcheng to take action, instead of sending Demacia's army
This kind of just right balance made the parliamentarians quite favorable.
They also learned from the reports of their subordinates that the prince was semi-passively implicated in this incident.
There's not much more to say about that way.
For a person like Hilco, the attitude of the parliamentarians is that it doesn't matter if there is or not.
From the beginning to the end, what they needed was someone who could take charge of the city, no matter who it was.
Fandel or Hilko.
As long as you take care of the one-acre and three-point land in the lower city.
Truth be told, they didn't really want to interfere in that mess.
But now, looking at the meaning of this prince, it seems that he intends to mediate from it.
In the darkness of the night, the law enforcers of Leather City go into action, with the goal of striking down Hilco's Shimmer Factory and the remnants.
He had set up the Shimmer Factory in a few hidden places, but now that he was gone, these places could not be hidden.
At this point, the councillors learned that Hilco had secretly developed such a potion with great danger.
Even this potion has appeared on the streets of Zu'an for a long time.
It is enough to see how indifferent they are to the lower city.
They found that Hilco seemed to be preparing to use the potion in the event of a future dispute between the two cities, and he had been preparing for it.
This made several parliamentarians suddenly shudder.
If it weren't for the coincidence, they probably wouldn't have found out about it until now.
In some interactions with Uptown, Hilco showed a tougher attitude than the previous leader, Fandel, but they didn't expect him to be so bold.
The effect of the Shimmer Elixir was beyond their expectations.
If conflict does break out in the future, they are likely to make a big mistake.
And this is obviously a violation of the drug, even if it is not necessary for Lu Qi to explain, the parliamentarians immediately launched a ban on the shimmering drug.
Equating it with contraband, trading, selling, and making it privately will face severe penalties.
In this way, it was not until dawn that the magistrates calmed down the incident.
They arrested many people that night, some of whom were not seen in the upper city, and there was no need to pursue anyone else.
And those forces that once followed Hilko have long been in hiding, waiting for the limelight to pass, probably to stand on their own.
As for the shimmering factories, they have been reduced to ruins.
Vi and Ike were witnessing everything all night.
Even they didn't think it would end so quickly.
The two of them sat on a rooftop overlooking Zaun, and Ike asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
After a night of careful consideration, Wei had already figured out what she was going to do, and her eyes were full of determination: "At the beginning, there were many people who followed Fandel, and after Hilko took the throne, they hid and hid. I'm going to get them back and reopen the Fogen Tavern. ”
Hearing her words, Ike knew that she was ready to take on this responsibility, so he raised his fist and said, "I just want you to remember, no matter what, I will support you." ”
Hearing this, Wei smiled, raised his fist and touched Ike's fist: "Thank you, little bit." ”
"I said, don't call me a little bit!"
Ike finished angrily and threw the flywheel away.
The flywheel flashed green and stood in mid-air, Ike got up and jumped on it, and turned around and said, "In the future, the Wildfire Gang won't have to hide their heads and tails, I will go back and inform everyone of the news." At that time, we will work together to maintain the new Zuan. ”
"Hmm."
Vi nodded earnestly and watched Ike step on the flywheel and walk away.
Her gaze looked at the familiar Zaun, a city that didn't seem to change much, and at the crowd of people.
From this moment on, it seemed like a great mission.
She also left the rooftop and walked down the streets of Zaun.
Finally, unconsciously, stopped in front of a statue of Vander.
Hilco doesn't seem to have made the people of the lower town forget him, and the statue is engraved with many names, as if it were someone who inherited Fandel's will.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, and you don't seem to have changed at all."
Wei slowly sat down next to the statue, feeling that she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.
Halfway, she asked, "Do you think I can do a good job?" ”
No one responded, but a gust of wind blew softly, blowing Wei's hair.
She looked up, looked at Fandel's hearty smile, and laughed along.
"All I know is that I won't let you down. See you later, old Fan. ”
Vi stood up, hands in his pockets, and walked away.
This man had protected Zu An and them with his broad arms, and now she would carry his will and walk unswervingly.
The next period of time will be busy, and she will have to meet many old friends.
