LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 120: Zaun Orthodoxy in Ekko

Walking on the street in a daze, Heimerdinger hid his appearance and wore a small child's hoodie. He didn't even return to his own house to take his luggage. Walking in confusion, Heimerdinger came to the Dance Corridor.

"Why am I here?"

Heimerdinger looked at the elevator in the Dance Corridor and the fierce and large Zaun people, and then Heimerdinger got on the elevator.

Yes, Jayce asked him to go to Zaun to take a look. Although Heimerdinger could not understand what Jayce meant, he still chose to go to Zaun to take a look.

Until now, Heimerdinger's mind was still echoing with Jace's words.

“Some things, if you don’t do them, it’s wrong.”

This sentence echoed in Heimerdinger's big head, but Heimerdinger wanted to refute it, because some things were wrong from the beginning. Although Hextech is now beneficial to the people, before that, Heimerdinger was absolutely not wrong.

He had seen the disasters that magic brought to the world. When a powerless person, a terminally ill person, had the ability to easily shatter mountains and split rocks, it was hard for Heimerdinger not to think of the Rune War.

He had personally witnessed the scene of arcane destruction, so he understood the consequences of handing dangerous abilities to the general public. If everyone possessed enormous destructive power, then the order of this world could no longer be maintained.

Therefore, he was not wrong.

How could I be wrong?
Heimerdinger thought so.

Then, he entered Zaun, and in the elevator in the Dancing Corridor, he listened to the scary clicking sound and smelled the person wearing a gray jacket and emitting a bad smell. The elevator descended, and then it stopped, and Heimerdinger also raised his little feet to step out of the elevator, raised his head and looked at this city made of glass and iron from under his hood.

Heimerdinger was stunned.

As far as the eye can see, the gray smog blocks the vision, the unpleasant smell drills into the lungs, the streets are full of dirty garbage, and in the humid environment, beggar children can be seen everywhere in the street corners.

Heimerdinger looked puzzled.

Why...is there such a scene below Piltover?
Heimerdinger raised his head and looked at Piltover. Until more than ten minutes ago, he was walking on the streets of Piltover. Although he felt sad, the environment he saw made Heimerdinger feel proud.

People were laughing and talking, rushing along the streets. The City of Evolution was full of vibrant people, but in Zaun, all Heimerdinger saw were people with numb expressions on their faces.

Heimerdinger walked cautiously on the streets of Zaun. He walked in the streets and alleys and looked at many places.

One, two, three, in one afternoon, Heimerdinger visited many blocks in Zaun, and then, Heimerdinger was a little disappointed.

Is this the place Jace wanted to be, a place full of despair and numbness?

Heimerdinger couldn't understand.

Until Heimerdinger walked to a place which was relatively clean and the air smelled better. He looked at the block sign and found that this block was called Black Alley?

Heimerdinger rubbed his hands and walked into the dark alley cautiously. Then, he met a child in a shopping street.

The other person had his back to Heimerdinger, and seemed to be fiddling with something. Heimerdinger moved forward. The Yordle was agile, and his small body made the noise he walked very small. He got behind the other person, stood on tiptoe and looked over, but the other person didn't notice Heimerdinger.

"Connect this, it's not right, it still doesn't work, how can I make it completely embedded?"

The child was talking to himself, fiddling with something that caught Heimerdinger's eye. It was a device similar to a fan, but who was Heimerdinger? He said he was the most knowledgeable scientist in the world, so no one could refute him.

After all, the word science was what Heimerdinger brought to mankind, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is the position of the iron piece wrong?"

"what!"

The child made a sound, and suddenly crawled forward a few steps, then turned around and pointed the device at Heimerdinger, shouting, "Who are you?"

"I, I am Yi, I am Heimerdinger." Heimerdinger said in a low voice.

The child was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Senator Heimerdinger?"

He tentatively lowered his head to look at the face in the hood, then he shouted: "Is it really you?!"

"Hello, Professor Heimerdinger, I'm Ekko, Ekko from Zaun." Ekko stood up and looked at Heimerdinger, and Heimerdinger was obviously interested in what Ekko made.

"Kid, can you let me see that?"

"Of course." Ike walked forward and handed the fan he was making to Heimerdinger. Ike liked making strange things since he was a child, but at that time, no one accepted him. Now, because of Viktor and Councilman Talis, there are more and more scientists in Black Alley, and even Boom and Vi are now working on some inventions together. As a result, Ike went from being a nobody among his friends to a celebrity.

And now, Ekko is making a fan that can be used in Zaun. Fans are not strange, but the fan made by Ekko is very strange.

Heimerdinger picked up the device and studied it. After a moment, he said, "Isn't the fan's position wrong? It's too far off. Will this affect the power?"

Ike paused, then he said seriously: "Although you are Senator Heimerdinger, I have to say that you are wrong."

Heimerdinger paused and looked at Ekko in surprise: "Am I wrong?"

This was the first time someone told him so directly that he was wrong.

"Yes, you are wrong. How could you think that I couldn't even place a fan properly? I did it on purpose because it is the only way to install the filter. This fan is not for blowing at people. No, it is not for blowing air, but for sucking air, sucking air, and then releasing clean air. The iron fan you saw is out of position, and then it needs to be installed with powder that can filter the air."

"This is a special filter fan I made." Ike said seriously.

Heimerdinger was stunned for a moment, then he took a breath and the alchemical gas rushed into his lungs. His special physique did not make Heimerdinger feel difficulty breathing and burning sensation in his lungs, but the unpleasant and pungent smell of the gas still made him feel uncomfortable.

Yes he was wrong.

He seemed to have not considered the environment in which the user would be located, and subconsciously believed that the fan was a manufacturing failure.

Experiments and inventions must be adapted to local conditions.

Heimerdinger doesn't understand Zaun at all.

“So, what about this? What’s the use of this cute-looking thing?” Heimerdinger asked.

Ike came forward and smiled sheepishly: "This... this is just a decoration, for viewing."

“Decorative? But it takes up too much space,” said Heimerdinger.

"Will it? I think there aren't enough places for decoration. I hope that in the future Zaun will be equipped with beautiful blue fans like this one everywhere. Once turned on, they will be able to absorb all the haze in Zaun and then blow out clean and cool wind, so that the sewer area will no longer be filled with poisonous fog." Ike said seriously.

Heimerdinger looked at Ekko. Then, he heard Ekko say:

"Beautiful things can make people feel happy for a while. We, the people of Zaun, must not only survive, but also live well."

Hearing this, Heimerdinger's body trembled.

He looked at Ike and felt like he had been taught a lesson.

Then, he couldn't help but ask again: "What did you say your name was?"

"Ike."

"Ike, can I work on this fan with you?"

"Of course! I need a capable person to help me. I'm too slow to tinker with it myself! With your help, I can definitely make this fan. You're Victor's teacher too. When the time comes, I'll show it to Victor. He'll definitely accept my invention!" Ike said excitedly.

He reached out and grabbed Heimerdinger, and started jogging: "Come on, Heimerdinger, let's go to my little base now!"

At this moment, the simple Yodel's sad mood was swept away. Heimerdinger looked at the Zaun child who was "disrespectful" to him, and the other party's efforts to use science to change the environment, which made Heimerdinger feel like he had returned to the past.

Yes, science is born to help mankind!

During the whole day in Zaun, Heimerdinger understood what Jayce meant. He was naive and did not like politics, but Heimerdinger was smart. After he came to Zaun and saw the gap between the rich and the poor between Zaun and Piltover, he immediately understood what Jayce meant by "Some things, if you don't do them, it's wrong."

Yes, Heimerdinger has never wanted to get involved in the intertwined web of politics and interests. As the builder of the Twin Cities, the Father of Piltover, or even the Father of the Twin Cities, his persistence is the objective cause of the wealth gap and corruption and backwardness in the two cities. He is a leader, but what has he led all this time?
But now he can help Zaun.

Heimerdinger thought so.

The child in front of him reminded him of Jayce and Viktor.
No, the other party is more innovative than Jayce and Viktor!
