I'm in Demacia, I just became a mage

Li Weisi suddenly remembered that he had previously had a conflict with a Zaun thief equipped with an alchemy augmentation body. When his attention was all on the street store, he bumped himself.

And took the wallet that Lux gave me.

From this point of view, he is the most likely to hide the design drawings here. As for why he hides them?

Levi figured it out instantly, because he was being hunted by Caitlin!

This blueprint should be very important. It is estimated that from his point of view, I stopped him and I was dressed decently. The Piltover guards would definitely not search me--indeed there was no search.

Even if he can't escape the pursuit of Picheng guards in the end, as long as he knows that the design is here...

Li Weisi thought of this, took it as an extension, thought for a while, and confirmed a few things.

One is that he must have an accomplice, and his accomplice must be at the scene, and he will definitely follow me after that, otherwise he will lose my location, so can't he find it all over Piltover?

That's the real-life version of finding a needle in a haystack.

The second is... He will definitely come to me as soon as possible to take the blueprints, because once I find out that I have the blueprints on me, if I hand them over to the Piltover guards, everything will be over.

At this moment, Levi looked out the window subconsciously. Baker Street was as bustling as ever, and the metal grille of the building opposite was swaying with the laziness of the afternoon sun, and the golden light shone through the window glass to brighten the entire living room.

Safe

Quiet, warm and peaceful.

Levi didn't find anything unusual, but he felt that someone must have been observing the house secretly.

He took a sip of the cooler water and thought about what to do next.

If it is what I think, this is the bustling area of ​​Piltover, and there is a high probability that those Zaunites would not dare to come to their door violently.

So there is a high probability that it will be stolen?

After thinking about it, Levi decided to go out and come back at six o'clock in the evening to receive the delivery from the department store.

He wanted to verify whether his guess was correct—anyway, there was nothing in the house now, and the house was completely empty in the true sense.

As for why he didn't report to Li Weisi directly, he also struggled a lot.

First of all, he didn't want to get involved in the scramble for the hex technology of Lao Shizi. After all, all the technologies of Piltover are not as good as world runes.

But the objective reality is never shifted by human will. In fact, I have already stepped into the muddy water of this crime and conspiracy—the moment I bumped into that Zaun thief, I have already entered the scene.

As for those big families, as long as the design drawings have been with you for a while, whether you have seen it or not, in fact, it makes no difference in their eyes.

The means of these upper-class Piltover families who cover the sky with their hands have always been cruel and ruthless, the most important...

In the background story, the Philos family is completely a real Piltover tycoon family. Assassinations, attacks, etc. are all the family's forte.

And this is the family of Qinggangying, the mentor of life...Qinggangying Camille is the chief spy of this family, specializing in all kinds of dirty work - such as assassination, robbery and so on.

If it was such a simple report to the police and then handed over, the notorious Philos family might still come to make trouble for themselves.

At that time, it might be that the knife-legged Qinggangying came to the door. In that case, conflicts would inevitably erupt between me and them, which was inconsistent with my original idea of ​​quietly looking for runes.

The most important thing is that this kind of conflict is completely unnecessary, and I can't get anything from it-except the enemy.

Therefore, even if it is handed over, some means must be used, or... simply let those people disappear, so that no one will know that the blueprint is here.

But before that, I still have to verify my conjecture - if that's the case, they will definitely come to the door to search, if they can't find it, then they will probably come to trouble me.

But just right.Li Weisi's dark eyes flickered, and his handsome face showed no expression at all. He needed to find a place to lure all these people there, and then get rid of them secretly.

Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed.

After going through those things in Demacia, I have less and less psychological burden on killing people...

Hehe, killing people is a bad habit, but I can't seem to quit.

He thought of the sarcasm of that windy man, and shook his head slightly. In this world, killing people is inevitable, but as long as you make sure you kill people who deserve to die.

Levi resolutely put his coat back on, put on his hat, turned the brass doorknob and did some warnings to see if anyone was coming in or out—such as catching a strand of hair in the crack of the door.

Then he locked the door.

The rest of the time he planned to spend in the Piltover Great Library.

This library is located in the unknown square. To the north of the square is the famous Great Rift Valley. Below the Rift Valley lies the entire city of Zaun, and the Piltover Academy of Technology and Magic is also in the Rift Valley.

Li Weisi saw this library when he went to the Zodiac basement before, and he planned to go there to take a look at it, but he was delayed for some time because he had to buy daily necessities first.

Along the previous road, for about half an hour, Levi arrived at the unknown square again.

However, he did not go directly to the big library, but first walked under the arch on the north side of the square, and walked along the oblique path.

The field of vision suddenly opened up, and the whole city seemed to have a huge opening in front of him. A grand canyon divided Piltover into two halves, the north and the south.

The tall tower of the Academy of Technology and Magic protruded wildly from the canyon, and the top was fixed to the upper part of the canyon with a swinging suspension bridge and thick iron cables.

Whenever a strong sea breeze blows through the canyon, the iron chain will sound like strings.The main road between the canyons is a magnificent arch bridge made of steel and stone.

People traveling between the north and south of Piltover rubbed shoulders on the bridge, and many wine vendors and fruit and dessert stalls refused to give in, forming a narrow bottleneck in the middle of the bridge.

Pedestrians in the past cursed one after another, while the guards of Piltover wearing blue uniforms and plaid pants hurriedly stepped forward to mediate.

In fact, the birth of this grand canyon was not a natural crustal movement, and Levi's is not very clear about the specific situation. thing.

Zaun was once a city of the Shurima Empire, but in modern times it was split into two cities, Piltover and Zaun.

Piltover didn't have this sea-crossing canal before, but for trade and commerce, they used Hex technology to forcefully blast the land connecting the two continents, and built the current Gate of the Sun Gate, and the navigation is prosperous hundreds of times better than before

.

See the Panama Canal for details.

With the Sun Gate Strait Gate, Piltover will be softened just by collecting taxes.

However, the explosive power enough to blow open the earth caused an earthquake, and another rift valley was born. Half of the urban area of ​​Zaan fell directly into the rift valley, and the sea water poured back, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Moreover, Zaun paid such a big sacrifice, but the bonus of the canal did not get half of it, but was squeezed even harder.

This is probably the initial conflict between Zaun and Piltover.

Li Weisi looked at the magnificent and huge rift in front of him, which was a hideous scar on the earth, and when he thought of the people who buried half of the city below, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

These people's hearts are really ruthless, they easily decided the fate of half of the city...

He sighed in his heart, but things like capitalists have always been like this, so it's not surprising that they don't do this.

Levi then cast his sights under the rift——

The high tower of the Academy of Science and Technology and Magic pierces into the sky, and the hands on another huge and old clock tower rotate quietly, and a faint gray-green smoke floats in the iron glass city under the rift valley.

In the haze, you can see the sad city of rust, steel, leaded glass, chaos, corruption, violence, and madness.

An indescribable emotion rose, and he seemed to hear Zaun crying.

The turbulent sea wind poured into the Great Rift Valley, making a whining sound, it was crying for something, it was asking me for help.

Li Weisi frowned slightly, then shook his head with a smile, this illusion is too outrageous, how can the city have thoughts?This is not the magical land of Ionia.

He stood on the edge of the carved marble handrail for a while and looked at Zaun who was struggling in the faint gray haze, then turned and walked to the big library on the other side.

It was an enormous building, spanning several city blocks by itself.

Levi's didn't stay too long, and directly entered the exquisitely carved door, and walked into the hall. Compared with the library in Demacia, Piltover's side is much more lively.

The reading room under the huge dome is already full of people, and even the gaps between the huge and numerous bookshelves are full of borrowers.

Most are plainly dressed, or in functional attire, clearly recognizable by the numerous hexworker apprentices among them—often wearing uniquely designed coveralls.

There are also some students, as well as ordinary civilians, all of whom are eagerly absorbing the nutrients of knowledge. The entire large library is crowded with people, but it is very quiet.

Levi spent three silver wheels at the library counter for a one-day library card—a very expensive price.

However, considering the economic prosperity of Piltover, the salary of ordinary people will be much higher than that of Demacians. Such consumption may not be too outrageous, but...

This is just one day, three silver wheels a day, I dare not think how much it will cost in a year.Li Weisi walked into the main hall of the library with a normal expression, thinking about the cost of collecting world rune information.

For the first time, he doubted whether his more than 1000 gold hexes were enough to spend.

The main hall in the large library is circular and has a huge space. The bookshelves are distributed on the edge of the hall in a stepped manner, with about dozens of floors, extending to a place close to the dome.

The dome is in classic Piltover style, a combination of metal skeleton and dome, surrounded by a huge strip skylight of stained glass.

Levis browsed for a while, and then found a book recording the history of Piltover and Zaun, but he couldn't find a seat to read it, because even the floor was full of people.

He finally found a place on the top floor, near a reading table near a skylight.

It was a table that could accommodate four people reading at the same time, but it was very strange that only a girl who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old was seated, and there was an empty space around it.

At this moment, she was sitting on a delicate mechanical wheelchair that looked very expensive, quietly flipping through the heavy books in her hands.

A child of a powerful family.Li Weisi observed for a while not far away. It seemed that he was a very powerful family who liked to overwhelm others.

He was going to look elsewhere. After all, his purpose was to find the world rune, and he didn't want to attract attention or cause any other unnecessary troubles.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind, clear and sweet, like the quiet sound of the empty valley, the tone was unhurried, like the chanting of a fairy in the lake, with an ethereal and distant feeling.

"Here's a seat," she said.

Levi looked back at the girl, and his eyes happened to meet those scarlet eyes. Even after seeing Lacus, Caitlin and the others, he couldn't help but feel a little amazed in his heart.

The girl is petite, with smooth and delicate long silver hair, her face is about the size of a palm, her black eyebrows are beautiful, and although her skin is almost transparent and sickly fair, it does not damage her charm at all, instead she looks like a sickly beauty. It feels like the nose is tall and delicate, and the pair of red lips are slightly pursed, exuding a pure and charming illusion.

And the finishing touch is the pair of scarlet eyes—the eyes are as clear as rubies, without even a trace of impurities, and when you look back, there are pieces of cold moonlight.

She sat there as if separated from the world around her, like a dream

She is a magical person, but she also feels extremely fragile, as if with a light touch, she will dissipate like a dream shattered.

Levi just took a look and looked away, took off his hat and nodded slightly as a salute, then walked over and put down the book recording the history of Zaun and Piltover in his hand.

"Thank you for allowing me to borrow books here." Li Weisi said, not wanting to cause trouble, but there is indeed no other position in the big library management, and the current situation is obviously the best.

"People are always afraid of what they imagine." She murmured, with a little trance, as if she was talking to herself instead of talking to Levi.

"You're right." Li Weisi nodded with a smile, thinking, sometimes the children of big families are not as arrogant and rude as imagined.

Then he buried himself in Zaun's history.

The girl also turned her attention back to the book in her hand, and the two sat facing each other like this, with their bodies only one meter apart, but their minds were immersed in different worlds.
