Chapter 111 [0109] Noxus' Influence

Lux and his group, who were underground, obviously didn't know what kind of situation Piltover and Zaun were in at this time as the mine collapsed.

At this time, everyone, including Lux, was racing against time to collect data materials in the laboratory.

Although except for Lux and Ino, no one else could understand the words on these documents, it didn't matter. As long as the paper with words was found, there would be absolutely no problem.

In this way, after a busy and intense time, everyone sorted out a bunch of experimental materials and experimental records - others turned on the mining lamp or exploration lamp to find them, handed them to Lux for preliminary screening, and then put them one by one beside him.

In this process, the location of the laboratory's backup exit has also been determined.

The plants that Janna said "looked out of the wall" actually went out from the ventilation vent. People couldn't get out of that ventilation vent, and it was now severely collapsed. At present, there was only one way to leave the laboratory, a canal.

Considering the complex 3D spider web structure of Zaun's underground river, leaving underwater is obviously not a good option - what if you follow the water flow directly into the sea, wouldn't it be troublesome?

In this case, everyone turned their eyes to Lux.

"There is not only a backup exit here." Lux repeated Kalya's words, "In addition, there should be a backup defense system. The underground laboratory must have an emergency response plan. As long as we find the emergency response plan, we can even go out from the main entrance."

"This laboratory has been around for many years." Sevika looked at Lux with some doubt, "Is the plan you mentioned still effective?"

"Don't look down on magic, Ms. Sevika." Lux smiled confidently, "Just rest assured!"

In this way, Lux handed the sword to Ino, and then the two began to quickly look for the emergency response plan in a large pile of documents.

And the other idle people found a relatively open place and started a fire.

During this time, at least we should get some food and fill our stomachs!

……………………

Lux and Ino soon had their first harvest.

In a document on daily maintenance of the laboratory, she found the way to activate the lighting device - after injecting magic into a translucent mineral switch, several areas in front of the laboratory were lit up.

Very good, this is obviously a good start.

When the soft magic light appeared above their heads, the people who were originally extremely nervous now relaxed a little. In such a large laboratory, the torches and exploration lights had limited vision and were not enough to give them a sense of security. Lux was able to quickly become the center of the team, which was also related to her ability to bring light.

Now, the entire laboratory area was lit up, and everyone naturally felt a sense of relief.

Considering that it was probably late at night, several children couldn't help yawning under the soft magic light.

"Go to sleep, everyone, take a rest." After realizing this, Vandel took off his coat and spread it on the ground. "Wei, and Bomb - Craig and Milo, come and rest, you have seriously exceeded the amount of exercise today!"

Hearing Vandel's words, several children gathered together, and Benso and others also took off their miners' coats and laid a piece of floor for them, although it was not very comfortable, but at least they could sleep.

Lacus, who was sorting documents not far away, got up and wanted to "turn off the lights" in the room where they were resting, but Vandel waved at her.

Lacus blinked, then lowered his head in understanding.

In this way, after whispering for a while, the four children finally fell asleep - Craig's snoring was even and calm, Milo made a whistle-like sound from time to time, Bomb huddled tightly in Wei's arms, and Wei couldn't help grinning because her arms were a little numb.

Seeing that the children finally fell asleep, Fandel and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. They gathered together to discuss a few words and soon divided into two groups, led by Fandel and Benso respectively, to take turns to rest.

After the grouping was completed, Benso's group went to the next room to sleep first, while Fandel came to Lux's side.

"You should also go to bed early." The tall Vandel lowered his voice and said to Lux, "Even if we find a way to leave now, we have no strength left."

"The sooner the better." Lux threw a copy of the "Health Management Regulations" into the pile of "useless documents" next to him, and answered quickly, "Think about the explosion later, this matter may be far more serious than you think. Maybe you don't understand Noxians, but I know them very well."

"Noxus..." Vandel shook his head, "I only know that many black market businesses are related to them, but I have never heard of any other information about them - the trouble they bring me is far less than the water rats from Bilgewater."

"We don't have much intelligence now, so we are not sure about the intentions of Noxus." Lux picked up a new document, "But at least we can be sure that they are definitely not good people-"

"I do have some say regarding Noxus." While Lux was flipping through the documents, Mr. Shadow, who was tied up in the corner, took the initiative and said, "The influence of Noxus on Piltover and Zaun , much deeper than you think!”

"Oh? It seems you know something?" Lux blinked, "Wait a minute, I remembered it. When talking about the shimmer potion, you seemed very excited, and you also mentioned the Noxians? "

"Of course I am excited." Mr. Shadow finally said after hesitating for a moment, "I am an Ionian - my homeland is being trampled by Noxian invaders, how can I not be excited?"

"Then why didn't you stay in Ionia to fight the invaders?" Lux raised her eyebrows subconsciously, "Instead, you went to Zaun to take shelter?"

"I am a member of the Shadow Stream and a member of the Brotherhood!" Speaking of this topic, Mr. Shadow proudly puffed up his chest, "My Shadow Blade once drank the blood of the invaders!"

"You haven't answered my question yet, why did you leave Ionia?"

"Because we discovered that the Noxians have found some means to pollute the First Land." Mr. Shadow said in a heavy tone, "They used some dangerous potions. Even if the user dies, the soul will be restless. Destroying the balance of the spiritual world in the First Land - I came to Zaun after tracing the clues of these potions."

"Is it the shimmering potion you mentioned before?"

"That's right." Mr. Shadow said calmly, "Silko is one of Zaun's biggest intelligence chiefs, and Finn is also from Ionia. I might as well work for them and look for Shimmer on the way. Traces of the potion.”

"But it was never found?"

"Finn is an out-and-out waste, and Hilko..." Mr. Shadow snorted dissatisfied, "He has been wary of me, and now it seems that he has never been concerned about the shimmering potion. Revealed to me."

"None of us are honest." At this point, Hilko, who had been silently sizing up his surroundings before, finally took the initiative to speak, "You claimed that you were exiled by the Kinkou because of your personal style. This is obviously a lie... Well, it seems that your money has not really been sent to the hands of those flesh and blood in the dark alley? "

"There are special channels in the dark alley to replace them with what Shadow Stream needs." Mr. Shadow showed a proud look, "This low-level cover-up just fits your dirty guesses, so my identity has been well hidden. , if you weren’t such a cunning guy, you wouldn’t trust anyone——”

"This is not distrust, but a wise choice." Hilko, who was repeatedly ridiculed, finally couldn't help but raise his tone, "I spent a lot of money on you, but you showed a greedy attitude. , it seems that he may die on a woman’s belly one day. If I tell you the news about Shimmer, who knows if you will regard it as a gadget to enhance your interest——"

"Be quiet." Fandel interrupted them, and then pointed at Wei, who was chirping, "The children are still sleeping!"

"...Okay." Mr. Shadow glared at Silko, "In short, when it comes to understanding Noxus, I'm afraid no one in the entire Zaun can surpass me."

"May the breeze of the newly born land clear away the fog, and may the night songs sing harmoniously in your sweet dreams forever." Lux said two sentences in Ionian with a brisk tone, "Speaking of which, I One of my best friends is also an Ionian."

"Did you learn this sentence from her?" Mr. Shadow said a little surprised, "Well, it has a bit of Zhiyun and Jialin's accent."

"She is an orphan evacuated from Galen." Lux explained, "Demacia took advantage of the fact that the Noxian navy had not completely blocked the coastline and picked up several groups of children from Ionia - unfortunately, we can do this There’s only so much left.”

"...I am very grateful for your country's help, although I don't even know the country of Demacia." After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Shadow struggled to stand up, as if he wanted to salute Lux, "Sorry, Lux Miss, I used to-"

"Let's talk about the apology later." Lux waved her hand, motioning for Fander to stop Mr. Shadow from jumping up. "If possible, I hope to get some news about Noxus from you - especially Noxus and Zaun, Noxus and Piltover, it will help to understand the situation we are facing today."

"Of course." Mr. Shadow sat back in the corner, "Let's start with what I discovered...the Noxian arms trade - the reason why I came to Zaun was because we discovered that Nok The Sarsians have added a large number of new special equipment and equipment, as well as some dangerous agents and explosives..."

"I received the order from Shadow Stream and left the Land of the Newborn in Weili. I pretended to be an ordinary refugee and was sold into the mines of Zaun..."

"Here, I met Finn. He and I are from the same hometown, but he doesn't seem to have much attachment or love for the land of birth, but at least he gave me some connections..."

"Later, through Finn's relationship, I met Hilko. He seemed to want to curry favor with Hilko, so he introduced me to work for Hilko to collect intelligence..."

"There is very little information about Shimmer in the dark alley. Even when I was working under Finn and Silko as intelligence agents, I almost never came into contact with the content I wanted..."

"But the tentacles of the Noxians have long since reached Piltover and Zaun. I have seen the War Masons more than once. Those disgusting guys, I can smell the stench on their bodies with my eyes closed..."

"In the dark alleys, many businesses have been taken over by Noxians. Although the people doing the work are Zaans, the sweat is all for Noxus - I once said to Silko intentionally or unintentionally After all this, I have said that many records are unclear and profits have disappeared, but that idiot has completely targeted the people of Piltover..."

Hilko took the pipe from Fander's hand with some embarrassment.

"In addition to Zaun, Piltover also has a close relationship with the Noxians. I can see clear Noxian marks on many upper-class people, including that one... Myrdalda."

"Mildda?"

Hearing the name, Fandel and Hilko's eyes widened almost at the same time.

"That's right, Midarda, their battle flag once appeared in Tivasir, I will not admit it..."

Fandel and Silko looked at each other.

"I used to think that the War Masons were looking for the source of the Glimmer Potion just like me. I thought they were just simple traders, but now it seems that their target should be this laboratory."

"Why do you say that?" Hilko put down his pipe, "A group of masons would be interested in a plant laboratory?"

"The war masons are not masons, they are spies." Mr. Shadow glanced at Silko with disdain, "That's what the Noxians are like in Ionia. They are frantically looking for all magic relics, anything related to magic. Even if they messed with a lot of things they couldn't afford, and even affected military operations, they still had no intention of giving up - we even caught big fish a few times this way."

Speaking of this, Mr. Shadow's tone was once again filled with pride.

But Hilko was obviously being ridiculed by him, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes when he looked at him.

"The Noxians seem to be researching something extraordinary. They don't care about the balance between the spiritual world and the physical world. Even though they have suffered a lot, they still plunder the land." Mr. Shadow organized his words and continued, "The Vastayans are now on our side, and the bastards of those Noxians are evident..."

Then, just when Fander wanted to ask the vastayas, Ino, who had been working silently on the side, suddenly raised his hand.

"found it!"

In her hand, she held a copy of the "Special Safety Regulations".

Kalya’s Little Classroom Noxus’ Military Industry:

The eclectic nature of Noxus is also reflected in the military industry. As long as it is useful, they are willing to accept and use it no matter where it is produced.
