Jane doesn't want to talk to her at all, she doesn't dare to look at Li Weisi now, one is because she feels guilty, but more because she is afraid of being found out that she has played tricks and he will take back those silver wheels.

Even Katz knew that the money would make Mama Elodie at the Hope House less tiring, so how could she not.

At this time, a familiar scream came from above the head, and the next shift of the Hex pressure lift was coming, so Levi said to Katz and the others.

"Gentlemen and ladies, we may have to say goodbye."

Seeing Katz and the others' puzzled expressions, Levi pointed upwards.

Jane was slightly taken aback, and she quickly asked, "But aren't you looking for Frieders?"

"Mr. Nick has brought me to him, and we had a good talk." Levi said with a light smile.

She also ignored Jane's astonished expression—she hadn't figured out why the man said he wanted to find Frieders, but he was about to leave, and even said that Nick had already taken him to find Frieders.

But Nick obviously...what the hell is going on?

"Watson, will you come to see me?" Katz said with some reluctance.

"There will be a chance, you can also come to my house as a guest, I live at 219 Baker Street, if you find any strange things in Zaun, such as the same thing just now, you can come and tell me, I will give you corresponding remuneration."

This will give you more sightlines in Zaun, well, but not the real guards.As Li Weisi said, he suddenly paused, thinking interestingly in his heart, just like the detective team.

"Really? Can I go to Watson's house as a guest?" Katz opened his small mouth slightly, tightly pinching the old but clean little skirt on his body, and a pair of clear purple eyes sparkled.

Jian Ze on the side watched coldly, with scrutiny.

"Of course, welcome anytime." Li Weisi said with a smile.

Then he pondered for two seconds, "But if I come to Zaun and need your help, how should I find you?"

Li Weisi suddenly realized that there is no telegraph in this world, and the sound transmission tube also has very large restrictions, which is extremely inconvenient.

Why don't you point out the telegraph technology?

Levi thought for a while. He still had some understanding of the principles of the telegraph. The university had elective courses on the Internet, among which he talked about the history from the telegraph to modern communications. He also searched for relevant content out of curiosity.

But it seems that we still need to point out the early electric technology...

Am I making dumplings just for this dish of vinegar?

Levi thought to himself that although he had some ideas about this, it would be troublesome to think about it carefully. The steam engine has not yet been produced. Even if Abigail quickly researches and manufactures a prototype of electric power technology, it will take a long time to promote it. .

Eh wait!I remember that the early telegraph was powered by a hand crank?

In this case, only two prototypes need to be manufactured, but there is a risk of being taken away, and the loss will be huge if the technology is leaked.

If you want to use it, you have to ask Abigail to design some stable self-destruct devices, and you can also share this technology with the Philos family at the same time, so that the work of chasing and stealing the technology falls to Camille. , she is professional.

of course

, they need to spend money to buy.

Thinking of this, Li Weisi nodded slightly.

He does not promote the technology he knows to make money or build a business empire. He mainly wants to use technological progress to make his journey to find world runes easier, and at the same time improve the inconvenience in life.

To find all the runes, Levi felt that the time span must be very long, but after Piltover got the technology tree of natural science, his development is estimated to be explosive.

After all, many designs of Hextech can be taken out and made into new things independently, and the future field must be very broad.

Of course, if he could gain wealth and status while promoting technology, Levi would not refuse - the goal is to transcend, but now he is still living in the mundane world, isn't he?

Hearing Levi's question, Katz pursed his lips slightly and lowered his head in thought for a while.

"We don't go to the upper city very often. In Zaun, we only play in the lower area most of the time. If we want to go up, we have to pick up the scream, but I'm not very familiar with it, so I need to try a few times."

Katz looked at Watson and Jane with a stiff neck, afraid of returning home, but she didn't want to disappoint Jane or Watson.

The reason why she wanted to help Levi was not all because of her inexplicable affection and repaying her life-saving grace. Part of the reason was that she hoped to get some remuneration from Levi to subsidize the consumption of Hope House.

Many orphanages in Zaun actually had funding sources at the beginning, and some of them were some big Piltover families.

They probably felt guilty for blasting the Grand Canal and causing Zaun's heavy casualties, so they used a little bit of the huge profits brought by the Grand Canal as a charity fund to avoid the condemnation of conscience.

The other part comes from the children who walked out of the Hope House. They have won their place in Piltover through their own hard work, and they often give back to the Hope House, the orphanage that raised them.

But by now, decades later, charitable money from Piltover has largely disappeared.

They think this is enough, enough to appease their guilt, enough to make up for Zaun.

After the charity funds were cut off, many orphanages in Zaan closed down due to lack of income, and the orphans were displaced. However, the harsh living environment and huge life pressure in Zaan continued to produce new orphans.

These orphans either entered the black factories run by the alchemy barons in Zaun as child laborers to manufacture some drugs, such as shimmer, puffed mushroom powder and the like.

Or enter the factory run by Mrs. Piltover, and do jobs with the same workload as adults for meager wages, such as mining coal mines, gas and other miners.

Either be a beggar or a thief.

In fact, if they can't find a place to protect themselves, some of them will become the lucky ones selected to be test subjects in those alchemy shops, and most of the other part will not have the chance to live to adulthood.

The Hope House is one of the few orphanages in Zaan that can survive. All these years, Elodie’s mother has been supporting the Hope House alone. Katz hopes to relieve some of the burden for this kind and resolute mother.

On the other hand, Li Weisi was a little speechless after hearing what the little girl said.

Still screaming?

Don't you die?

He originally thought that today's experience would make this girl quit, but who would have thought that she would still want to scream.

The old birthday star hanged himself, right?

Li Weisi shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous. You'd better not do that kind of dangerous thing in the future."

"But to be a street kid, you have to pick up Screech."

Katz muttered, and there was still a word in her mouth that didn't come out of her mouth-what are we going to steal if we don't pick up Screaming?

However, considering that Watson is from the upper city, she didn't really say it.

Jane was silent and agreed with Li Weisi's words.

She was really scared by Katz today, and she almost lost Katz at the time. She thought about it for a long time afterwards, and felt that maybe not everyone is suitable to be a street kid.

And if Katz can hook up with this uptown guy named Watson, wouldn't it be better than being a street kid?

This big guy spends a lot of money, he can find someone to pay so much money, and I and some children in the orphanage are very familiar with Zaun, and I also know some street kids, helping him with some things and getting paid is better than living every day Good in danger.

Perhaps older, more concise and more rational.

Since she was a child, she watched Elodie's mother support the Hope House with her thin shoulders alone, and understood the hardships of life, but at the same time she hoped that she could become a person like Elodie's mother.

Of course, she knew how much she weighed. Mother Elodie could justifiably take out gold hexes from the pockets of rich people in Zaun and Piltover with her singing voice, so what did she have?

I am nothing!

But at least let Katz live better.Jane regarded this little girl who was not related by blood as her own sister.

She just thought so simply, she didn't know how to realize it, but recklessly thought that as long as she and Katz were always together, sooner or later she would be able to live the life she wanted.

Whether it's stealing or doing something else.

And now that she has a job that is safer and more profitable, she will not refuse it-of course, her vigilance against the suspicion of the people in the upper city has never faded.

After all, her parents died of exhaustion and illness in a mine run by a man from the upper city.

Jane glanced at Li Weisi, pondered for two seconds, and said:

"Or in dirty boots

The patio square of the submarket is here?We can wait for you here at a fixed time every day. If you need help, you can come here during this time, or go directly to the Hope House to find us. "

"Well, it can be like this for the time being." Li Weisi nodded slightly. This can be regarded as an expedient measure, after all, there is no suitable communication method for the time being.

Then Katz told him the specific location of Hope House, without the specific street name, but it is said that Hope House is very famous in the gutter area. Katz said that Levi would know where it was when he got there.

And they will wait for an hour at the courtyard square of the dirty boots trading market at ten o'clock every morning.

Li Weisi nodded in response, he was thinking about going back to talk to Abigail about the hand-cranked telegraph, and wondered how long it would take for this girl to make it.

It shouldn't take long to know the principle and general structure, right?

But it's a lot more complicated than a bicycle, and it's not sure.

After making an appointment with Katz to visit them in the Hope House, the Hex pressure elevator stayed in the center of the courtyard with its unique whistling sound.

"If someone asks about my identity, tell me that my name is Sherlock Moriarty, understand?" Levi's asked.

"Don't worry, Watson... Mr. Moriarty! Hey." Cates smiled slyly, and Jane and the other two boys also promised.

No one but Nick knew that Watson Holmes was the spellcaster who summoned the sun bombardment, and while Nick seemed obviously smart, he would have kept it a secret, as Friders had learned from his mistakes.

As for Katz and the others, they just added a layer of insurance so that those who investigate themselves will not find any doubts.

In fact, even if they betrayed themselves for profit, the investigators would at most know that an uptown man named Watson had been to Zaun. They suspected that this detective Watson was investigating the case of Miss Charlin's disappearance. The caster may be the same person.

But Mr. Nick will avoid that from happening.

As for how to fill in the details that Watson and Sherlock are two people, it requires the ingenuity of Mr. Nick.

Or, it doesn't matter if it is exposed, no one will believe this conclusion except the investigator himself.

Even the Temperament Stone and the Piltover border inspection couldn't detect that he was a mage. It would be absurd for anyone to believe a group of children's one-sided words and draw conclusions based on them.

Although it is true.

Levi thought it was safe, and then bought a return ticket for the highest level.

He chose a seat by the window in the cockpit on the top floor, while Katz stood on the edge of the fence in the courtyard plaza and waved vigorously.

Jane looked up at him for a while, and then turned her eyes to other places. The figure of a boy was quickly coming out of the street beside the Black Powder Bar.

Levi didn't see what was happening behind him, the Hex pressure lift was quickly activated, and the figures of the group of Zaun orphans were quickly submerged in the chaotic and old building.

-------------------------------------

The hex pressure lift soon arrived at the patio square of the Frontier Market, which was far more prosperous than the lower floors of Zaun.

Even though it was completely dark now, the surroundings were full of feasting and feasting lights, and it was a prosperous scene.

However, the atmosphere and environment are completely different from Blue Star.

The combination of steel and glass, dreamy fluorescent agent, a bit of steampunk and cyberpunk - especially when looking at the southern city of Piltover from the spiral staircase in the patio square.
