Fandel was quickly persuaded by Lux, and instead took Servica with him, and started internal cleanup in accordance with Lux's request.
Then, almost as soon as Fander left, Silko came up to him - he did not rush directly to the Sun Gate with shouts, but brought an unexpected news to Lux.
"Boss, I got news from the Alchemist Baron." Although there was no one else in the room, Silko lowered his voice, "They have joined forces."
"It's expected." This news did not surprise Lux. "Even those selfish people must be frightened after today's turbulent whole day."
"They also found Singed." Silko continued, "That guy is very difficult to deal with... The shimmering potion I used before was obtained from him, and it cost a lot of money."
"Singed? That alchemist?" This name made Lux, who was holding the sword hilt, slightly raise his eyebrows. "I remember Mr. Shadow said that he also provided arms to the Noxians?"
"It's that Singed - he is different from those alchemy barons, he really has something in his hands." Silko lowered his voice, "He sent me a message, saying that he hopes to talk to you.
"
"Talk to me?" Lux was a little surprised, "What are you talking to me about?"
"He didn't say anything specific." Hilko wasn't very sure either. "He seemed to have his own considerations... That guy has a lot of special alchemy techniques. Although he is very close to the alchemy barons, he shouldn't be of the same mind as them.
…”
Hearing what Hilko said, Lacus finally narrowed her eyes slightly.
……………………
As Hilko said, Singed was hanging out with a group of alchemy barons at this time.
In other words, it should be that the trembling alchemist barons are hiding in Singed's factory, asking the alchemist for protection.
In just one day, these arrogant alchemist barons turned into bereft dogs who lived in panic all day long. The reason for all this was not only the anger and resentment of the workers under the blockade of Pi City, but also their own delays.
pot.
At first, when they discovered that workers were gathering in Fulgrim's Tavern, the Alchemy Barons just sent some cannon fodder to find out more.
Even if all the cannon fodder were caught and locked up in the basement of the tavern, these Alchemy Barons did not have any sense of crisis - when they finally realized that something was wrong, they spent money to bribe some foremen and learned what Fulgen's Tavern was talking about.
By that time, the situation had become urgent.
At this time, if they can quickly unite, with a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, perhaps the workers may not truly unite around Lux.
But after receiving the news, although these greedy guys knew that allowing workers to unite was not an issue, they were still unwilling to cut their flesh to appease the workers.
You can't use your mouth to appease the workers, you have to use gold hex!
Piltover has blocked trade, many factories have stopped working, and our Alchemist Baron has no food left at home!
Let them cut meat to appease the workers at this time?
How is that possible!
The result is that these alchemist barons got together in the name of "solving the problem" and began to scheming skillfully, trying to choose an unlucky guy, everyone would kill him together, and then use his assets to appease those who were getting more and more excited.
workers.
As long as someone is finished, his liquid assets will calm the workers, and the fixed factory and market share will not be enough for everyone to share the cake!
No alchemist baron would refuse if he could tear off two pieces from his colleague's corpse.
As a result, the internal fighting on the Alchemy Baron's side has not yet concluded, and the workers have taken action first - the situation in Zaun is developing rapidly like an avalanche, and the ranks of workers are getting bigger and bigger. In just one day,
Most of the factories were demolished.
Kill your colleagues and tear off two corpses?
Before the alchemy barons could find the unlucky guy who was holding the top of the vat, they were about to form a group and be buried by the avalanche, becoming corpses together!
And even that's not the worst.
What's more troublesome than the sudden turn of events in Zaun is that even if the Alchemist Baron wants to run away with the bucket, he has no way to escape.
There are only two directions to leave Zaun, one is to go north to Piltover to go to the sea, and the other is to go south to Kumangla or Kalduga.
The road leading north to Piltover is now blocked by Piltover. Even if you can escape, you will be eaten up by the Piltover guys!
The south passage is tightly controlled by workers because it is related to grain transportation, and it is also blocked!
In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and when they got the news, it was too late to take advantage of the chaos. In the end, they were pushed and shoved, and they had no choice but to escape to Xianzuan and a remote place.
He ran away and fled to Singed.
The alchemy barons actually have little relationship with Singed.
In the past, Singed was an out-and-out fringe person in Zaun. He conducted his own research and everything was of its own accord - it's hard to tell whether he was ostracized by others or simply looked down upon others.
It seems that from his point of view, only his alchemy experiments are meaningful things, and as for more... he doesn't care at all.
Therefore, these alchemist barons could not confirm Singed's attitude at all.
But now they have no choice - except for a few who left halfway with a way out, the Alchemy Barons who ran all the way to Singed's factory are now paupers.
In the past, they only relied on a group of thugs and a few factories. Now the thugs are running away to death, and the factory is completely occupied by Zaun workers. After falling into the dust, they suddenly discovered that after the avalanche, they had nothing.
.
In this case, Singed, who had done business with them before, became the only hope for these alchemy barons.
In a desperate situation, the Alchemy Barons finally achieved a rare efficiency.
They found Singed, exaggerated the destructiveness of those workers, and promised various benefits, hoping that Singed would be on their side.
According to these alchemy barons, "We only need to ensure our own safety. We can be assistants in your laboratory. Believe us, our level is definitely better than the group outside who only know how to operate machines rigidly."
Workers are much taller”.
Singed did not comment on the claims made by these alchemist barons.
He doesn't care about everything that happens in Zaun. To him, it doesn't matter who rules Zaun - he himself has no ambition or need to rule Zaun.
If anything, the only thing that interests him in Zaun right now is the construct Cassiopeia mentioned.
Well, at most add Lux.
Singed is obsessed with alchemical technology - but this does not mean that he only has alchemical technology in his eyes.
If possible, he also hopes to study the construct technology of ancient Shurima.
As the saying goes, rocks from other mountains can attack jade, and constructs also have their own unique advantages. Xinged is not narrow-minded.
This time, Singed acquiesced in keeping the Alchemist Baron, mainly because the same person was mentioned in their mouths and Cassiopeia's mouth - Lux.
According to Cassiopeia, Lux is a difficult and cunning spellcaster.
In the words of Baron Alchemist, Lux is a seditious conspirator.
Combining the two, it was not difficult for Singed to discover that this little girl named Lux, whom he had never met before, was likely to become the de facto ruler of the entire Zaun in a short period of time.
And unlike those alchemy barons who nominally rule Zaun, she is confident, has fists, and skills.
This made Singed somewhat interested in Lux.
Although he had already verbally agreed to Cassiopeia and allowed her to become his sponsor, Singid knew very well that at least now it seems that this sponsor is also a lost dog, except that he has no idea from which channel.
Apart from the information obtained, nothing can be provided.
As a qualified alchemist, he does not have any psychological burden when changing sponsors.
Especially this kind of sponsor who is actually useless. When he promised Cassiopeia, he was only interested in the gold hex and market she could provide, and of these, Lux could definitely provide more.
If possible... wouldn't it be infinitely better to let Lux rule Zaun and then become his sponsor than this grinding Noxian bitch?
With this idea in mind, he found Hilko and directly conveyed to him his wish to talk to Lux.
Singed did not disclose the target of his conversation, but simply stated that "those alchemist barons are on his side" - the implication is that if we can talk, I will leave those unlucky ones to you.
……………………
Faced with this invitation, Lux thought for a while.
However, whether it was considering the shimmering potion that Silko mentioned, the sewer gas that Mr. Shadow mentioned, or simply considering all the Alchemy Barons, Lux must make such a trip.
What's more, Kalya also seems to care about Singed.
So, before Hilko finished explaining all the pros and cons she thought, Lacus nodded decisively and agreed.
"Then contact him and let's meet." As she spoke, Lux's fingers crossed the previously spread map, and finally clicked on a relatively remote location, "Just right here, the glass alley, that glass building
The factory was abandoned due to toxic pollution - I will have a talk with Mr. Singed at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, Glass Alley Glass Factory." Silko repeated in a low voice, "Boss, what do you say about the guards?"
"It's just me and Singed." Lux held the hilt of the sword with a smile on her face, "It's just a simple conversation, it's not a big problem."
