When Ike finally broke free from the trash and tried to eavesdrop again, Lux and Ino had already ended their conversation - Kalya had almost finished speaking, and the next step was the action.
Seeing Lux and Ino start to pack their things, Ike could only curl his lips and climbed off the roof angrily. Then, as soon as his feet landed on the ground, Lux grabbed his ear.
"Ike, right?" Lux's tone was calm, but it made Ike's heart sink. "What are you doing climbing on my roof?"
"I -" Ike wanted to make up a reason, but what was embarrassing was that he was not good at lying. "I just..."
"I was just trying to peek at what two girls were doing in their room." Lux added the second half without hesitation, "It seems that I need to talk to Fander about the safety of the rental house he provided.
Already..."
"It's not like that!" Hearing what Lux said, Ike became anxious at the time, "I didn't even take a peek when I was living here!"
"Bangbao... I remember Vi also mentioned her. It seems she is a girl?" Lux seemed to know nothing about grabbing other people's pigtails. "You want to peek into her life?"
"I - this?!" Ike was speechless, "Hell, I just want to know what you, an outsider, want to do - it has nothing to do with you being a girl or having a blast!"
"What did Fander want you to do?" Lux narrowed her eyes, "He is indeed dishonest -"
"It has nothing to do with Fander!" Ike was confused by Lux's self-intentioned speculation. "Okay, okay, actually, this was the room where they were bombed. We really want to know why you
What is the purpose of living here? If you find out, it may be of some help to Fandel, that's all."
"If that's the case, it's such a pity." Lux heard this and finally let go of Ike, "We are just considering a business deal - speaking of which, do you want to make some money?"
"Make some money?" Ike was stunned for a moment, "What do you want to do? Fandel will not allow us to participate in those dangerous experiments."
"Not illegal human experimentation."
"You can't even be a thug!"
"They're not thugs either." Lux shook her head, "How about you help me find a few people to dig something out?"
"Mining?" Ike's eyes widened, "Zuan is full of miners. Six out of ten people in the dark alleys have gone into the mines. Where can I not find them?"
"It's not about mining, it's about clearing a passage." Lux shook her head, "It's about digging up something left here by my predecessor..."
"Your ancestor?" Ike was even more confused now, "Didn't you say that you are... a Demacia? How could your predecessor's things be left in Zaun?"
"One gold hex per person per day."
"Okay, maybe you also have Zaun blood. I heard that the city of Zaun has a history of thousands of years." Ike decisively stopped asking, "How many people do you need?"
"Within ten people, it depends on your speed." Lux shrugged, "Do you have any professional tools to recommend? The passage is hundreds of meters long, and it will take forever to dig with a shovel alone."
"Do you need to blast it?" Ike patted his chest without hesitation, showing a very confident look, "This is a big job - but there is absolutely no problem if you leave it to me!"
"I hope so." Looking at Ike's appearance, Lux nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you can find a reliable enough helper - otherwise, I will ask Fander."
"Why don't you just ask Fander directly?" When asked this question, Ike was a little confused. "He has a wide network of connections. Many people in Zaun - not just in the dark alleys - were introduced to work by him."
"It's just the work of ten people." Lux pretended to be understated, "It's not worth owing Fander a favor."
"Oh." Ike nodded and didn't ask any more questions, "I know, I'll go ask them..."
After finishing speaking, Ike quickly climbed up the wall while rubbing his red and swollen ears, and disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye.
After a while, a blue bird flew over and landed on Lux's shoulder, bringing her the latest news.
"Ike made a circle and then went back to the tavern."
"He really went to find Fander!" Lux said with some surprise, "I thought he would try to contact the other four children directly... Kalya, how did you know that Ike would find Fander?"
"Because although he is the youngest, he is the most reliable." Kalya said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Actually, although this little guy was very embarrassed when he met you, compared to the other four, he has more clever ideas.
The most - that group of kids pretending to move things to cover up his actions, their acting skills are no less than those of the professional actors you saw at the Piltover Theater."
"This doesn't mean anything?" Lux didn't quite agree with Kalya's statement. "In terms of petty theft, the group we met in Kalamanda who pretended to quarrel is much more similar to them."
"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid he didn't really want to steal things." Speaking of this, Kalya sighed melancholy, "Do you still remember what he said at the time? This is reciprocal revenge - if he really stole things,
His target should be the golden hex in your bag, not the key. From the beginning, he started with the mentality of causing trouble for the people of Piltover."
"..."
Lux blinked and was a little dazed - apparently, she only subconsciously thought that Ike was a bastard from Zaun, but she did not realize that in fact, when it came to theft, Ike was actually a rookie.
"Okay, this kind of trivial matter is not a big problem if you don't find it." As if aware of Lux's mood, Kalya laughed and fast forwarded to the next topic, "In short, through Ike's mouth, Fan
Del has already heard the news that we are going to dig something. Soon we will find the manpower we want. The digging work will start soon. Let's go to the next step. We still have a lot of work!
"
"Then why don't you just ask me to find Fander?" Lux was still a little confused, "Do you have to go around Ike's place?"
"Doesn't this show that we are frank?" Kalya chuckled, "Fandel has been a little nervous recently and is always suspicious. We will find some work through Ike, and Ike will inform Fandel, and Fandel will definitely send the most reliable manpower.
, it’s both work and surveillance—this kind of opportunity for self-expression is rare!”
"Well... that's true. However, Kalya, I still feel that compared to me, you are more like a nobleman who fights with others all day long."
