LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 94: The Gutter, Ford Tavern
"Rowan, we have to get down from here."

Victor said to Rowan in front of the huge iron cage.

"This is the elevator to Zaun."

Rowan looked up with interest. From here he could see the wealthy area of ​​Piltover located on the high mountains. Then Rowan looked down again and saw Zaun, which was full of green and fog.

Zaan is really in the underground world!

Every place in Runeterra has different scenery. If Piltover is elegant and retro, with medieval and modern styles, then Zaun really looks like a ruin.

Zaun, sitting under the cliff, is formed in the shape of pillars. From high to low, there is the dance corridor where Rowan is now, then the middle square, and finally the sewer area.

After entering the elevator and starting it, with a clicking sound, this large rusty iron cage started to move and slowly descended. Rowan, who was in the elevator, could also see the surrounding environment. Zaun was very humid as a whole. Every building was more or less close to the cliffs with ravines and all connected by various metal pipes. Rowan could even hear the sound of water flowing in the pipes in the elevator.

There was green fog with a pungent smell everywhere, and houses made of iron and glass were everywhere. Large earthenware jars spewed out pungent gases, making the whole of Zaun look gray.

It will be like a city that only appears in stories, full of wonders.

"Can you really adapt to the air here?" Victor asked with concern.

He has been breathing Zaun's air for twenty years, but even he still feels uncomfortable with it.

Because many of those pungent gases spread upward from the highly toxic areas in the sewer area, and those gases are toxic.

"Of course, Victor, you don't have to worry too much about me." Rowan said to Victor.

He was lying next to the elevator, with several Zaun people whose bodies had been modified beside him.

"People from Piltover?" someone even asked provocatively.

Victor quickly said, "No, wait, we are from Zaun. I live in the Gutter District. This is my friend."

"Hey, who doesn't know your name, Victor?" The provocateur showed a cruel smile. He approached Victor and continued, "I say, you are a traitor of Zaun, how dare you say that you are still a Zaun person?"

"That's right. Didn't you already join Piltover? Why did you come back? Haha, could it be that those Piltover guys don't want you anymore?"

"Viktor, everyone knows who you are, you don't even need to introduce yourself, but he, he is obviously a Piltover native. How dare you bring a Piltover native down here without permission?" A fat man with a black fish tattoo on his face buried his head towards Viktor and opened his mouth, revealing metal teeth. With every breath he exhaled a yellow, smelly gas.

"I, I'm from the Black Alley, you can't..." Victor put his hands in front of him, closed one eye, and stopped those people.

Luo Wen was speechless when he saw this scene.

They are all from Zaun, is Victor so unpopular?

The people of Zaun don't like him, and the people of Piltover don't accept him.

This guy is in a really embarrassing situation.

Putting down the instrument in his hand, Luo Wen walked up to the fat man and patted him on the shoulder.

The fat man turned his head to the side, looked at Rowan with a grin, and said, "Don't worry, Piltover man, it will be your turn soon."

Rowan lifted his leg.

"puff--"

He kicked out with all his strength, and the fat guy in front of him flew backwards, hit the iron cage, and had a close contact with the iron bars. Then, he fell heavily to the ground, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

At the place where he hit, the half-meter-thick iron rods that were originally standing upright were all knocked down, and one or two of them were even broken.

The people traveling with him started cursing, and one of them even tried to pull out his weapon in a panic.

Rowan dodged, then he held one of them with one hand, lifted them up with a smile, looked at them and said, "I'm not from Piltover, I'm from Demacia."

"You, you die——"

Luo Wen exerted a little force.

"Goo-"

"You, you killed them?" Victor said in panic.

"No, I didn't use any force. They are just... just sleepy. Don't worry, Victor, I know what I'm doing." Rowan immediately said to Victor.

"Phew, that's good. You can't kill people here. Although you are from Demacia, the people in Zaun don't care about these things. They don't dare to fight with the people of Piltover, but they dare to fight with others." Victor said seriously.

"But Demacia is more powerful than Piltover." "Yes, that's right. Demacia is more powerful than Piltover. But if something really happens, Demacia will go to Piltover to cause trouble, because Zaun is under the jurisdiction of Piltover. Will Demacia come to Zaun to find these thugs?"

"No, Victor, instead of this, shouldn't you tell me why they are looking for trouble with you?" Rowan looked at Victor speechlessly.

"." But Victor just stopped talking.

He lowered his head helplessly, picked up the fallen books, and then went to help the guys lying down, but his strength was too weak and he couldn't help them up.

Seeing this, Luo Wen took the initiative to help lift these guys up.

"There are many reasons, and I can't tell you in detail." Victor sighed and said to Rowan.

The elevator arrived at the station. Victor walked out of the birdcage-shaped elevator, looked back at Luo Wen, and said, "Let's go to my house first."

Rowan lifted the instrument and followed Victor.

The situation in the ditch area is more serious than Luo Wen had imagined. The haze obstructs people's vision and also penetrates into people's lungs like particulate matter.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As soon as Victor entered the ditch area, he started coughing, while Rowan just felt a little uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?"

"It's just my old illness, it's nothing serious." Victor said weakly.

He took Luo Wen and walked towards a place.

Along the way, many Zaun people cast their eyes over. They looked at Rowan and Viktor, especially Viktor. Most of the Zaun people would roll their eyes at Viktor or spit on the ground when they saw him.

Victor ignored everything and walked forward silently.

Until they came to a place that looked like a scrap yard. He pushed open the small door, turned back to look at Luo Wen and smiled, "We're here. This is my home."

"Do you live in a place like this?" Luo Wen said in surprise.

After all, Victor was studying at the University of Piltover. You should know that not ordinary people can enter the University of Piltover. For example, Jayce was able to enter the school because of the sponsorship of the Gilaman family, that is, the Katherine family.

Victor was admitted to the academy with special permission, but is his treatment so bad?

"It's a good thing to have a place to live in Zaun. Although my environment is simple and the house is small, the security here is very good," said Victor.

He made way for Luo Wen to go in, and after Luo Wen went in, he found that the situation inside was not the same as what he saw from the outside.

It was extremely clean inside and looked very nice except for some dust and cobwebs.

"Well, just leave the stuff wherever it is. I'll take it apart later." Victor said to Rowan.

Luo Wen nodded and put the things down.

Victor took out a medicine bottle from his arms, opened it and swallowed two pills. Then, he looked at Rowan and said, "Have you eaten?"

"No, you want to treat me to a meal?"

"Yes, I shouldn't have invited you to dinner, but who asked you to help? I mean the elevator matter." Victor said with a smile, and he added: "Although you acted recklessly."

"I might eat more." Luo Wen said seriously.

He was indeed hungry.

From this morning till now, Luo Wen hasn't eaten a single bite!

He is so poor!
Victor immediately said, "I still have a lot of money. Come on, I'll take you to dinner."

Rowan immediately followed Victor, wondering what kind of food he would be eating later.

I don’t know what the food in Zaan tastes like?
It shouldn't be bad, right? Although Zaun is very poor, its technological level is not low, and alchemy technology must have spawned a lot of concoctions, so the taste of the food must not be bad.

Then, Rowan and Victor came to a place. Looking at the name of the tavern, Rowan narrowed his eyes.

Ford Tavern.

He couldn't be more familiar with this name.
