LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 93 The Most Dazzling Talents in Two Cities
"Come with me, I'll take you into the academy."

"Remember, don't wander around after you go in. Many professors' laboratories in the academy are restricted areas. If you accidentally destroy their experiments, I won't help you pay for it."

"Also, you are not allowed to take things out of the academy without permission, but I don't think you would do that, because only people from Zaun would do that."

Following Jayce, Rowan walked into the University of Piltover in Piltover.

This is probably the first school Rowan has seen in this world. There are schools in Demacia as well, but they are military schools used to train soldiers, and only children of nobles can enter the school.

But Piltover University is different. After entering Piltover University, Rowan really felt like he had come to the modern era. The academic atmosphere was very strong. Students could be seen everywhere carrying books and carts. Their faces revealed the youthful vigor and confidence that are unique to young people, and their high spirits would make people immerse themselves in it.

"Do you hate Zaun?" Rowan couldn't help but speak after hearing Jace's nagging.

"You are an outsider and you don't understand, but you can listen to me without any doubt. The people of Zaun are rude, stupid and have no morals, do you know that? Nine out of ten thefts in Piltover were committed by the people of Zaun, and the remaining one was committed by outsiders." Jayce said in a loud voice.

"So, Piltover people don't steal?"

"Why would we steal? We have everything, do we still need to steal? Only people who have nothing would steal." Jace turned around and looked at Rowan and said somewhat unhappily.

Luo Wen shook his head and smiled, and said nothing more.

Rowan didn't agree with what Jace said.

Don't rich people steal?

Are all the ten thefts in Piltover really committed by Zaun people? Moreover, even if Piltover people really don't steal, are they more lenient than Zaun people when they do bad things?
When the people of Piltover do something bad, it's a big one!
As far as Rowan knew, many of Demacia's Piltover merchant ships carried a lot of smuggled goods. People of Jayce's class probably wouldn't know what the councilors and upper-class people did.

After all, Jayce is just a middle-class family in Piltover. His family, the Talis, is the best family in Piltover at making hammer tools. They make a lot of profit, but they are definitely not a big family.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet someone first. He's from Zaun, but he studies in this academy. The professor said he's a genius." Jace said to Rowan.

When Luo Wen heard this, his eyes lit up.

Ouch!

Could it be.
----

Ten minutes later, Rowan followed Jace to the Research Institute of Piltover University and entered a room. As soon as he entered the door, Rowan frowned subconsciously.

Because the environment in the room was extremely dirty and messy, Luo Wen even felt that there was no place for him to step.

In the room, a large number of things were randomly placed together in a mess. In the other corner of the room, there were various huge minerals. A thin man was sitting with his back to Luo Wen and others in front of a very high-end-looking device. He had black hair and an extremely thin figure. His back revealed a faint sense of loneliness.

As if he heard the voice, he turned around, smiled when he saw Jace, and said, "You're back?"

Luo Wen looked at him and used the Sky Exploration Technique.

Victor

[Friendliness: One Star]

【Age: 21】

[Race: human]

[Intensity: No danger]

[Skills: Science (8) Research (7) Knowledge (6)]

【Luck: Mechanical Pioneer (S)】

Luo Wen was amused. The difference in skills between the two men was really not that big, and they were of similar age, but judging from their skills, one could also see that they excelled in different areas.

Jayce's scientific ability is not as good as Viktor's, but Jayce's research and development ability is stronger than Viktor's.

Jayce is more creative, while Viktor is more hands-on.

"Well, Victor, I've found a helper. He's very strong, so let him move all those things." Jace reached out and patted Rowan on the shoulder, and said cheerfully to the man in front of him.

The man named Viktor also stood up and walked slowly towards Rowan. When he reached Rowan, he stretched out his hand, "Viktor, Viktor from Zaun."

Rowan looked at Victor and held out his hand as well, "Rowan, from Demacia."

"Demacia? I've heard of it. It's a good place." Victor said gently.

Jess looked down at his watch and said anxiously, "I still have something to do. Well, Victor, tell him everything. I'm going to do my thing now."

Victor nodded.

Then he invited Rowan to come and sit down, and then Victor picked up a teapot and began to pour water for Rowan.

"What did he do?"

"Him? Piltover's Evolution Day is in a few days. He should be going to find Miss Catherine from the law enforcement team. It's just as you thought, a love affair between a man and a woman." Victor said.

Rowan smiled, and Jace chased the policewoman. This was also shown in the anime, although he did not succeed.

Victor walked up to Rowan and said, "Drink a glass of water and take a rest, then we'll start working."

Rowan raised the cup and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Victor and said, "What do I need to do?"

"You are still impatient." Victor laughed. He pointed at the ore over there and said, "Clean up the ore over there first. It's very heavy. Be careful."

“Separate them by color.”

After Victor finished speaking, he put on his glasses again and stood up with his head down reading the book in his hand.

When Rowan saw that Victor stopped talking, he walked towards the pile of small stones, stepped forward and picked them up easily, and began to divide them according to color.

Were these stones found in Shurima?
So, Jayce has started developing Hextech?
But this is different from what Rowan knew. In the animation of The Two Cities, wasn't it after Jace developed Hextech that he was destroyed because it was threatening, and then he met Victor?

Unlike Jayce who wanted to gain reputation with Hextech, Viktor joined this research to make Zaun a better place. "Okay."

Ten minutes later, Rowan clapped his hands and looked at Victor.

Then, Victor showed a surprised expression. He pushed his glasses and looked at Rowan in surprise and said, "You are really strong. I thought it would take you an hour or two to finish. Sorry, let me see how you distinguish them first."

Victor walked up, lowered his head and began to look at the ore, then he pointed at a few of them.

"Please help me move these ores over here." Victor said to Rowan.

Rowan stepped forward and lifted the ore easily.

"Thank you."

"No, I'm paid." Luo Wen said.

Victor was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "That's right."

"You can take a rest now. I will need your help with something later."

"Okay." Rowan sat quietly beside him, watching Victor holding a strange device. Was it like a magnifying glass? Anyway, he held the device and looked at the stone back and forth. At this moment, Victor was fully devoted to studying the ore and ignored Rowan.

And Rowan didn't do anything annoying. He sat quietly in his seat, waiting for Victor to finish the task at hand.

On the second day of arriving in Twin Cities, Luo Wen met the two most dazzling talents in this sister city-state.

Mechanical Pioneer - Victor.

The Guardian of the Future - Jace.

Basically, people who have watched The Two Cities will not hate Viktor. His original intention was great. He was researching Hextech for Zaun from the very beginning. Although Viktor lost his original intention after learning that he was going to die, that is human nature.

Jayce and Viktor are just the opposite. In the beginning, Jayce was only after reputation and honor. He is indeed a genius, but also a reckless young man.

But after becoming the eighth senator of Piltover, Jayce slowly changed, especially in the later episodes when he changed himself, created a hammer, and broke into the territory of Hilco with Vi.

At that time, Jayce was worthy of the title of senator. He risked his own life just for the safety and interests of Piltover.

In short, these two people are people that Luo Wen likes very much.

And now, watching Victor sitting there studying the ore, Rowan was also thinking about something.

Victor's life span is not long, and the reason for his drastic change in temperament is because he is about to die, but...what if Lux heals him?
Magic is really omnipotent sometimes.

Victor, can you become a member of his team?

But Rowan found it difficult. People like Victor, who spoke softly and always gave in, were the hardest to win over because they were extremely determined.

So, I have to make Victor owe me a favor first.

"Why do you keep looking at me like that?"

Sensing Rowan's gaze, Victor suddenly spoke.

"I was wondering when you were going to assign me a job," Rowan replied.

Victor sighed and stood up. "This is the first time I've seen someone like you. Are all Demacians as honest as you?"

"maybe."

"Okay, Rowan, please help me take that thing, and then, help me move it to my house."

"Isn't that waste?" Rowan looked at the place where Victor pointed and said to him.

Viktor shook his head and said softly, "To the people of Piltover, this is trash, but to the people of Zaun, it's a treasure. Don't worry, didn't Jayce tell you that you can't take things out of the academy? But this is something Jayce didn't want. He was going to throw it away anyway, but I asked him for it."

Rowan nodded, walked over there, and picked up the treasure that Victor mentioned.

A broken instrument.

"Let's go, let's go to Zaun."

"Oh, by the way, wait a minute. I'll find you a filter. Without it, you won't be able to adapt to the air in Zaun."

"No need." Rowan said to Victor, and he continued: "I don't need a filter. I'm not like you."

Victor was stunned, then he nodded.

Then, Rowan and Victor walked out of the institute together.

He first carefully locked the door, and then slowly walked out of the academy with Rowan. Rowan, carrying the huge instrument, certainly attracted a lot of people's attention, but fortunately they all knew Victor, so no one stopped them.

Another thing is that the clothes Rowan wore were not ordinary. He looked like a minor noble. Coupled with his fair appearance, no one would think that Rowan was a Zaun.

The two walked together towards the east of Piltover, where was the Dance Corridor, the top floor of Zaun, connecting to the lowest level of Piltover.

When Luo Wen arrived at the dance corridor, he immediately recognized this place as Zaun.

Because although they are connected, the two regions are like two different worlds, with completely different architectural styles, and people's clothing, appearance, and spirit are also completely different.

Victor breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Rowan, who looked around but did not show any disgust.

Then he reached behind Rowan and patted him on the back.

Rowan turned around.

Victor smiled warmly and said softly, "Welcome to Zaun."
