After receiving the order, Hilko simply turned around and left - he needed to pass the news to Singed as soon as possible.
After he left, Lux, who was still waiting for Ino to return from patrol, also took the opportunity to chat with Kalya.
"Are you very concerned about that Singed?" Lux asked with some confusion while packing up the map, "Why, is he difficult to deal with? Janna said before that she didn't know him very well."
"That must be a ruthless character." Kalya's tone was somewhat solemn, "You may not have noticed the recent news about the Ionian War."
"News about the Ionian War?" Lux blinked, "Recently... I really haven't noticed it."
"Mr. Shadow said before that the Noxians used the shimmering potion in Ionia. He came to Zaun just to cut off the channel of this potion." Kalya helped Lux recall the previous Shadow
What the gentleman said, "In addition to the shimmering potion, the Noxians also used something even more vicious."
"Uh, I remembered." After hearing this, Lux finally realized what Kalya was going to say, "You mean what those tabloids said when we were in Piltover [Ionia was grayed out]
Haze], right?”
"The tabloids in Piltover are famous for catching rumors, but I always feel that this time they may be telling the truth." Kalja's attitude was extremely serious when talking about this topic, "Combined with what we said when we left the mine,
Judging from the ditch gas canisters, I am afraid they have really mastered the use of ditch gas, and may even have used it in the war in Ionia."
"You mean... the Noxians prepared a large amount of poison gas and dropped it on the battlefield of Ionia?!" Lux's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is this possible? Although the poison gas is very powerful,
It’s dangerous, but if you want to influence the battle situation, I’m afraid the quantity required will be extremely staggering. If you want to produce those poisonous gases, Zaun will probably need a giant poisonous gas factory!”
"That's what I'm worried about." Kalya sighed, "Singed has the confidence to protect so many alchemy barons and yet chooses to negotiate with you on equal terms in this situation. If he is not a fool, then he must be.
Rely on."
"And you think that poison gas is what he relies on?"
"That's right." Kalya confirmed, "So, we must be fully prepared."
"We need Janna's help?"
"Janna's current divine power is limited." Kalya denied this possibility, "If you want her to help, the entire Ancestor Security will regain the faith of the Blue Bird again."
"That's not a bad idea." This approach made Lux a little tempted, "It's the time when Zaun needs to calm people's hearts. The blue bird is the folk custom here..."
"Absolutely not." Kalya said immediately, "About the issue of gods... This is more complicated, but allowing gods to gain divine power through faith - especially the faith of a certain area, is very important to the local people and the god.
To put it simply, it's all dangerous, and at this point, I've suffered enough."
"That's what you and Janna mentioned... destroying the false gods?" Lux was a little curious, "It seems that Shurima was destroying these gods at that time?"
"Absolutely." Kalya was unwilling to continue on this topic. "As for the issues of gods and beliefs, I will talk to you in detail after the situation in Zaun and Piltover stabilizes. That involves you in
Climbing Mount Targon in the future - in short, even if Janna is a 'good god', it is best not to let her become Zaun's faith again."
"But Janna really helped us and helped Zaan a lot..."
"Janna thinks so about no longer being believed." Kalya said something that stunned Lax, "Janna herself is also happy to see the loss of divine power. She treats people according to folk customs.
Remember, it was her choice to overlook the city she loved like a blue bird, so you don’t have to feel sorry for her.”
"Janna usually gives me the impression of being calm and indifferent, but I didn't expect her to be so indifferent inside!" Lux said in disbelief, "I really want to know what happened between her and you in the past... It's a pity that you don't.
Willing to say."
"When it comes to matters involving gods, you can never be too careful." Kalya remained tight-lipped, "Anyway, you just need to know that Janna can no longer help in this matter."
"That's a bit troublesome." Lux packed up the map and documents and sat down on the bed with some helplessness, "In that case, if Singed is unwilling to accept a new Zaun, wouldn't we have to face a ditch?
Threat of poison gas?”
"That's why tomorrow's meeting is crucial." Karya agreed, "But judging from the current situation, we may not have no hope of peacefully resolving the problem. This guy Singed is indeed a bit troublesome."
"It would be best if it can be resolved peacefully. The haze in Zaun is already very serious." Lux nodded, "Hey - Ino is back? Are there any bastards without eyes wandering around the tavern today?
"
"No more." Ino shook his head, "Those bastards haven't had time to hide, so they will come up to them. I went to patrol the surrounding area just for a walk..."
"That's good, that's good." Lux showed a relieved smile, and then couldn't help but yawned, "Fander and Servica went to deal with those bastards who took advantage of the situation, and you may have to do it tomorrow too.
It will probably be a lot harder to participate in the maintenance of order."
"Maintaining order is not hard work. When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vigilante knight - but I didn't have the chance." Ino skillfully took off his rune steel armor, "Now it can be considered a dream come true... I have to say
If it’s hard work, I think wearing armor is a bit hard.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing what Ino said, Lux subconsciously glanced at her figure, and then suddenly felt very tired.
When Mingming left Demacia, her mother prepared many sets of armor for herself and Eno.
It turns out that just a short time ago, Ino had already changed into the largest size...
Sometimes Lux is really curious, is that ice bloodline really so exaggerated?
Good guy, since Ino awakened, her magic, magic control and even figure are like blowing up a balloon.
Even though Lux's development was normal and she was far ahead of the established Vi and Blast, she still felt a subtle sense of envy every time she saw Ino taking off his armor.
Shaking her head, Lux finally eliminated these messy thoughts from her mind - I don't want these to be gone. I have to meet that Singed tomorrow, so I'd better go to bed early today!
……………………
At Karya's suggestion, the venue for the meeting was chosen on the rooftop.
Singed had no objection to Lux's choice of time and place.
So, at two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, two people, Singed and Lux, one tall and one short, finally had their first meeting on the rooftop of this abandoned glass factory.
And the first impressions the two people had about each other... were both very subtle.
After arriving in Zaun, Lux saw a lot of strange people, and there were countless people who had their hands and feet broken off and then had prosthetic limbs reattached.
However, this is the first time that Singed has wrapped himself up like a mummy.
Judging from the red skin exposed at the edge of the bandage, his wrapped skin should look like this.
It's like... being soaked in strong acid.
Coupled with his tall, thin but always subconsciously stooped figure, and his small, naturally cruel eyes, Singed almost had "I am not a good person" written on his face.
Moreover, even in an outdoor environment, the strange smell on his body is still very clear. Even with Janna's help in summoning the breeze, Lux still feels that her nose is itchy...
At the same time, Singed also felt very strange when he looked at Lux.
This little girl looks too ordinary - it's not that Lux looks ordinary, but her temperament doesn't look like a leader at all.
In other words, it doesn't look dignified at all.
Her long, smooth golden hair was not neatly combed into a bun, but hung casually on her shoulders.
The smile on his face is not the standard, polite one that hides his inner thoughts, but comes from the heart.
Even after taking various alchemical potions, Singed, whose hearing was far beyond ordinary people, heard Lux humming a tune in her low voice before approaching her...
Is this guy really the scary guy in the mouth of that woman Cassiopeia, the vicious existence in the mouth of the Alchemist Baron?
Or is her ability to disguise herself so good that she can't see even the slightest flaw?
Xingjid, who had some doubts in his heart, did not speak immediately.
"Ah, Mr. Alchemist!" Lux waved her hand proactively, "Nice to see you!"
"Maybe the reason why you are happy is not to see me." Xingid took off a sealed glass bottle from his waist, shook it vigorously in his hand for a while, and then opened the lid with a bang with his thumb, "Maybe
It’s because those workers have taken over almost all of Zaun—want a drink?”
Lux glanced at the dirty glass bottle and the unknown green liquid with bubbles inside, and finally shook her head.
I don’t know whether to refuse this cup of unknown liquid, or to deny that the reason why I am happy is because the workers have occupied the entire Zaun.
"Ah, that's such a shame."
Singed didn't care much about Lux's resistance. He opened a small gap in the gauze in front of his mouth, and then happily poured the bottle of green liquid into it - and then, he happily
, let out a long burp, and stuffed the empty bottle back into his waist.
"Don't be so nervous." He moved his body a little, "It's just soda water, haven't you drank it?"
"I've drunk soda water, but never the green one." Lux shook her head, "It always reminds me of those unknown liquids in the ditch."
"Hahaha, this is exactly what I want!" Xingjid laughed exaggeratedly in a manner that did not suit his style. "In this case, those bastards who come in and out of my laboratory and don't like to read labels will just
