[0072] Follow the footsteps of the wind

 Just as Hilko expected, Piltover's law enforcement officials were unlikely to give up on this bombing.

Grayson, who was in charge of the matter, talked with Fandel again, but unfortunately, the two sides did not reach a unified opinion - Fandel must keep the four children who caused the explosion, while Grayson was forced by the parliament.

There was tremendous pressure on Fandel to hand over the prisoner.

After all... Evolution Day is also the face of Piltover. If something like this happens at this time, the Council will obviously not be able to let go easily.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Lux for the time being. She is taking Ino with her at this time, trying to conduct an investigation in Zaun.

In addition, she still needs to work hard to find the laboratory that Kalya mentioned before. However, compared with the one in Kalya's impression, the changes in Za'an now can be said to be earth-shaking.

The understanding of the city is no longer enough as a basis, so Lux still needs to explore more when it comes to retrieving the inheritance.

However, unlike in Piltover, they are not popular in Zaun - Lux's social butterfly attribute can easily change the relationship between the two parties from neutral to friendly, but as long as she puts on the filter, Zaun will

An Ren saw that her attitude was at least cold to begin with.

Under such circumstances, Lux's investigation went very poorly.

"Should I try not wearing a filter?" Rolling her eyes again, Lux sighed helplessly, "Karya, the eyes they looked at me were full of disgust."

"So far it seems like this." Kalya said in a helpless tone, "It seems that your current condition is indeed not suitable for activities in Zaun..."

"Then what should we do?" Lux said with a headache, "Things seem to have frozen."

"No." Kalya chuckled, "Although you haven't gotten any meaningful news in the past few days, I have found traces of an old friend."

"Is your old friend really still there?" Lux said in surprise, "When did you see him?"

"The bakery you just went to." Kalya replied, "When you opened the door - do you still remember the wind chime on the door?"

"Wind chimes?" Lux blinked and said with some surprise, "It seems like... your old friend is a bell maker?"

"No, no, no." Kalya's tone was a little more nostalgic, "That's her shrine."

"God...shrine?!" Lux finally opened her eyes in disbelief, "Is that a god? Same as the Winged Sisters?"

"Objectively speaking, she is indeed a god, but in terms of attributes, she is completely different from the Feiyi sisters..."

"So we are going to visit her?" Lux, who had grown up listening to the legend of the Winged Sisters since she was a child, couldn't help but said with great excitement, "Going to visit a real god?"

"Of course." Kalya confirmed Lux's guess, "However, if we want to find her seclusion, we need to make some preparations."

"Preparation?" Lux was a little confused, "What preparation? Shower and change clothes?"

"Find a piece of strong paper and make a sensitive windmill." Kalya gave an answer that stunned Lax, "The wind will guide our direction."

……………………

Although she didn't quite understand why she wanted to make a paper pinwheel when meeting a god, Lux followed Kalya's method and made herself a toy pinwheel.

Then, she pushed open the bakery door again.

When the wind chimes jingled, a gust of breeze blew. Under the angry gaze of the bakery owner, Lux raised the windmill and followed Kalya's instructions to follow the footsteps of the wind.

The light wind seemed to be a pair of invisible hands, playing with the morning fog of Zaun in front of Lux, opening a path in the haze.

Lux held the windmill in her hand high, like a child playing, jumping on the garbage blown by the wind, and getting into the haze driven by the wind.

Chasing the breath of the wind, she walked through the streets and alleys, and unknowingly entered Xiazuan.

In Lower Zaun, there are alchemy factories everywhere, and simple roads connect them together across artificial ditches where sewage flows. From time to time, rail vehicles that look like trains roar past, spitting out black smoke all the way, making this place...

The dirty air becomes even more choking.

At the end of these roads and ditches, there are often mines with uncovered exits. Some of these semi-open-air mines are still being mined, and some are completely abandoned. They are criss-crossed on the earth, as if they were ancestral mines.

Treat hard-to-heal scars.

Following the footsteps of the wind, Lux and Ino walked through mines one after another, climbed over ditches one after another, and soon arrived at an inaccessible place.

When there is darkness ahead, Lux uses magic to disperse the darkness; when encountering a ditch full of sewage, Ino uses magic to freeze the sewage.

With the help of magic, they moved forward and traveled downward. When the wind finally stopped, a crack appeared in front of them.

When the Leather City Grand Canal was originally excavated, many cracks appeared underground in Zaun. Many of these cracks contained poisonous gas seeping out. It was precisely because of these underground cracks that Lower Zaun became uninhabitable.

.

However, the crack in front of Lacus was different. Standing in front of the crack, she could clearly feel that a breeze was blowing out of the crack!

Lux took off her filter.

At this moment, she seemed to be in the forest. The gentle wind not only dried her sweat and made the blond hair on her forehead soft and fluffy again, but also blew away her fatigue at the same time.

"Is this... the residence of the gods?" Lux asked in surprise, "In this crack?"

"That's right." Kalya replied softly, "Now, lift me up, and then call out the name of Gahn Arem with me!"

Lux nodded, handed the windmill to Ino, then pulled out his broken sword and raised it high.

"Gan Alem!"

The breeze blows.

A single call from Lux flew away with the breeze, echoing in the overlapping mine ravines, like the calls of countless people.

Amidst the calls of countless people, an astonishing throbbing began to surge deep in Zaun - the next moment, in the crack under Lux's feet, a green bird was holding an emerald green in its mouth.

, the fruit-bearing branches flapped their wings and flew out.

The blue bird hovered beside Lux, as if responding to her call.

The warm wind also lingered around Lux, as if responding to her call.

When the wind finally stopped, the blue bird landed on the broken sword, and at the same time, a voice finally sounded in the wind.

"Is it you, Kalya?"

"It's him." Lux answered on behalf of Kalya, "After two thousand years, Kalya is back."
