I heard that there was an "Alchemy Baron" in Zaun, so Lux instinctively believed that the Alchemy Baron was the manager of Zaun, and she wanted to hand over this guy who wanted to steal her things to the Alchemy Baron.
But judging from the current situation, the facts seem to be slightly different from her understanding.
Lux can be considered a person who has "traveled thousands of miles", but whether it is in Demacia, Kalamanda in Shurima, or the mud town of Noxus, stealing is punishable - the only difference is
It may be light or serious. Even in Kalamanda, which has the worst security, any thief caught at the port will be punished by the harbor governor's guards.
You may not be locked up, but at least you will be beaten.
Unfortunately, in Zaun, it seems that the Alchemist Barons have no requirements for public security, as if they want the place to get worse and worse.
On the contrary, when Lux said that she wanted to go to Fulgrim's Tavern, all the Zaun brats around her smiled happily and looked quite supportive.
"Do they think I will get beaten if I go to Fulgrim's Tavern?" Looking at these cheerful brats, Lux looked calm and asked Kalya in her heart, "Why is Zaun like this?
Oh, look at these kids, they don’t think stealing is wrong and they don’t even know what the law is!”
"Maybe they have rules, but the rule is to listen to the boss." Karya's tone was also a little emotional, "It's really a terrible rule."
"Sounds like the story you told me - everyone listened to Setaka."
"But Setaka is also a man of written law."
"..."
"..."
Then, just as Lacus and Kalya were complaining about Zaun's poor education calmly, a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old came out of an unknown alley and stood in front of Lacus with open arms.
.
"You Piltover guys, let go of Ike." After the other party spoke, Lux finally confirmed her gender, "Otherwise, you will taste it. A cute little girl like you, after being punched,
You will definitely cry a lot, right?"
"Ike - oh, this guy you are talking about? Then, who are you?" Lux looked up and down at the girl with her fists raised in front of her, feeling that she looked inexplicably familiar, "Their... eldest sister?"
"Sister? I like this title very much, and you can think so." The other party put on a boxing stance, "My name is Wei, and if you and Ike have any issues, I will pick it!"
The other party's reaction made Lux stunned for a moment. After Kalya's reminder, she realized that this meant "taking responsibility for Ike".
"He stole my things and was caught by me." Lux responded very fairly, "So I think I should take him to a place where I can teach him a lesson. After all, stealing is not a good habit."
"Pilchengo guy, your law enforcement officer can't control Zaun." The other party showed a mocking expression, as if he wanted to say more harsh words, but considering that Ike was still in the hands of others, he finally stopped.
He swallowed it and said, "When you are in Zu'an, just follow Zu'an's rules!"
"So, what are Zaun's rules?" Lux asked, "I really want to know about it."
"Fight with me. If you win, I'll beat you up. If you lose, I'll beat you up."
"???"
Even though Lux already had some understanding of Zaun and knew that it was full of chaos and violence, there was still a big gap between hearing what others said and seeing and experiencing it with her own eyes.
"Stop being stunned." Before Lux could open her mouth to speak, Wei raised her voice and took a stance, "Come on, either fight me or let go of Ike and leave Zaun.
This is not the place for a lady like you!"
"You Zaun people all speak with your fists, right?" Blinking, Lux finally found some tips for communication, "Okay - if this is the case, if you lose, just answer me obediently.
A few questions, how about it?"
"Deal!" The other party seemed to be satisfied with Lux's straightforwardness, "That's it!"
……………………
After handing Ike to Ino, Lux came to the eldest sister.
The surrounding Piltover brats formed a faint circle, cheering Wei at the top of their lungs.
Hearing the sound of cheering, Wei moved her neck, and then jumped back and forth flexibly twice.
It can be seen that she seems to be very good at using her fists and her steps are flexible enough.
Coupled with her far longer wingspan and taller figure, if it were a street fight, Lux would be no match for her.
Unfortunately, this is not a boxing match, and Lux is not an ordinary underground boxer.
Facing the menacing fist, Lux used her forearm to resist the opponent's tentative jab and stretched out her fist.
Seeing Lux's reaction, a confident smile appeared on the opponent's lips - his punching speed was pretty good, but his posture was like that of a novice, and he looked like he had never practiced at all!
When I don't have an advantage in size, I don't rely on flexibility to win, but instead block and counterattack in a disciplined manner... I really haven't been beaten!
As Lux punched out, Wei strode forward, actively stretched out her left arm to block, and at the same time prepared her right arm to hit Lux's shoulder hard.
Well, seeing as nothing happens to Ike... I'll give you a less serious lesson!
However, things did not develop in the direction Wei expected.
The fist she swung did not hit the target, and she flew out sideways first - when Lux's white fist came into contact with her left arm that was actively blocking, a faint light flashed on her fist.
And passed away.
So, it was a seemingly light punch, but Wei felt as if he had been hit by a big pendulum in an amusement park. He flew sideways and hit the garbage pile at the corner of the street, before falling headlong into it.
Lux retracted her fist expressionlessly.
The surrounding Piltover ghosts were all dumbfounded.
Their cheers were choked in their throats, and they all stared dumbfounded at Vi in the garbage pile and Lux with an expressionless face. Some even rubbed their eyes.
Just now... was that light?
However, it is clear that there is nothing now!
After fluttering for a while, Wei struggled to get out of the garbage. She strode to Lux, gritted her teeth and stared at the man in front of her who had put away her fists and held the hilt of her sword.
Guy.
Judging from her expression, it seemed as if she was about to raise her fist again in the next moment.
But in the end Vi just snorted.
"You win, Picheng guy!" Wei shook off the dirty garbage on his body and hugged his head, "Tell me, what do you want to ask? After you ask, hurry up and beat him!"
"I want to ask Zaun." Seeing the other party's appearance, Lux finally showed a smile on her face - it seems that the method of shopping first and asking questions later in Piltover will not work in Zaun. The rules here are quite similar.
It's different, "Ask what you think of Zu'an - I just came here, and I found that this place is different from the places I have seen in the past."
"???"
"Besides, I'm not Mrs. Piltover. I'm from Demacia."
