When Finn opened the door of his office and wanted to take Lux around, he prepared a lot of words to build a relationship between the two parties.
Finn is quite an expert when it comes to complimenting the people of Piltover.
However, after opening the door, the scene that appeared in front of him made all the words he had prepared choke in his throat.
In the corridor, all his thugs were frozen in place.
Spreading ice crystals covered their bodies, turning their skin red from the cold - these unlucky guys seemed to want to struggle, but unfortunately they had no other place to move except their eyes.
"They tried to ask me about your identity." Ino explained to Lux expressionlessly, her tone so calm that it made people feel chilled, "It's too noisy, I'll ask them to calm down."
Seeing the thugs who looked like ice sculptures, and listening to Ino's emotionless and straightforward narrative, Finn felt as if he had been doused with ice water, and his whole person calmed down instantly - he did not dwell on this issue, but led him
He looked at Lux pleadingly.
As Lux nodded, Ino finally canceled his spell, and a group of thugs leaned against the wall as if they had been granted amnesty. They were all shaking into sieves - I don't know whether they were cold or frightened.
Finn also swallowed all the polite words and temptations, and just took Lux to visit his alchemy factory and introduced their production line.
Lux looked at the roaring machines and numb workers with an expressionless face. She listened to Finn's endless bragging about how cheap his prices were, but in her heart she thought of what she had seen during the ten days of investigation in Piltover.
Those proud Piltover people who arrived.
After once again emphasizing that his price was the lowest at the end of the tour, Finn behaved himself and respectfully sent Lux out of the factory.
My younger brother greets me when I arrive, and my elder brother sees me off when I leave.
Even in the end, Finn didn't dare to ask for a promise.
After returning to the factory, Finn sat back on his chair. With trembling hands, he tried to light his beloved lighter, but failed several times. Finally, he finally managed to light it with both hands.
"Boss, do you want to send someone to follow?"
"Pie, why not send it?" Finn lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. Then he seemed to have come back to his senses. "Don't use your own people. Find Mr. Shadow - the numb one, Picheng guy or something."
Has there ever been such a powerful mage?"
"Well, I haven't heard anything about it."
"Then pay more attention." Finn took another puff of cigarette and put the remaining half in the ashtray. "A little girl who is still young is here to show off her power? Wait until I get to the parliament.
Coupon, I will give you a good look sooner or later!"

Lux naturally didn't know what Finn said.
At this time she was walking on the way to the lift platform.
"Karya, how do you know that guy is Ionian?"
"Because of his tattoos." Kalya explained, "Have you seen his neck? The large pattern, magatama, and cloud patterns are all typical features of Ionia - and they are very organized, right?
Randomly patterned.”
"That's weird." Lux frowned strangely when he heard this, "I clearly feel that he doesn't want to mention his Ionian identity, so why does he have so many Ionian tattoos?"
"I guess they didn't get tattoos here in Zaun." Kalya thought for a moment and replied, "Ionians also like tattoos, especially those who are eager to express their individuality and leave their native environment. He went to
It is quite normal for Ionians in Zaun to have tattoos."
"That's right..." Lux nodded upon hearing this, "He is nothing like Sona!"
"Of course it's different." Kalya sighed, "To be honest, I really want you to hang him on the street lamp right now... I have been a worker in my own factory for three years, and my experience is ten times better than that of Pi City.
The more experienced you are, the more experienced you are - if you can say this with pride, it would be a shame to die."
"They are simply not human!" Hearing what Kalya said, Ino, who had never spoken much, rarely said, "In my hometown, even when the farming is busy, the big animals can still rest. Look at his factory
Here, those workers!”
"This is one of the reasons why I chose to come to Zaun." Karya snorted, "This city is about to break through the bottom line of human civilization. There is no limit to your freedom here. All changes are progress!
"
"Yeah..." When this topic came up, Lux was also a little sad, "Those workers are not slaves, but in my opinion, they are not much different from slaves. Maybe in the Noxian duel field
, the living conditions of the gladiators are much better than them..."

After taking the last elevator back to Piltover and walking back to the hotel where she was staying, Lux unexpectedly received a message at the front desk.
"What? Jace is looking for me?" After confirming the news with the waiter at the front desk, Lux blinked in surprise, "Are you sure it's Jace?"
"That's right, Miss Laxana." The waiter at the front desk nodded and confirmed with a smile, "It was a message from a law enforcement officer who called himself Marcos. He left this note when you were not around."
"This is really unbelievable." Lux took the note and confirmed the content on it again, "Invite me to visit him in prison... I don't even know him!"
"Then please keep the note and confirm it with me." The waiter at the front desk took out a notebook, "It doesn't matter whether you go or not, but we need to confirm that you have received the message."
"No problem." Lux nodded, "I understand."
In this way, Lux signed her name, and then returned to the room with Ino - regardless of taking a shower, she immediately looked at Kalya.
"What on earth is going on? Isn't the previous collusion between officials and gangsters a misunderstanding? Why does Jace want me to visit the prison?"
"This... I don't know either." Kalya was obviously confused, "Does he hope you can change your testimony to make the matter not look so serious?"
"No, it's not." Lux looked at the note in her hand over and over, and finally shook her head, "Here, the note said that Ino should come with her. I think this matter may have something to do with magic."
"It's related to magic - if possible, I think you should go there." Kalya thought for a moment, "Although according to Fandel, those children of Zaun stole a lot of enlightenment crystals, but Jay
Si Ye may not have any inventory. If possible, you should go see him and see if you can get some enlightenment crystals from him."
