Chapter 125 [0123] United Zaun

Borrowing a flame from Fandel's pipe, Lux lit the spider silk in the alley.

Under the licking of the flames, spider eggs burst and small spiders were burned to death. The raging flames intensified, and finally engulfed this alley on the edge of Zaun, which was usually unattended.

The wall with graffiti on it finally collapsed under the burning flames, revealing an abandoned factory behind the wall.

Without the shelter of the factory wall, mottled sunlight poured down from the gaps in the factory's steel frame buildings, allowing this small narrow alley to be bathed in sunlight for the first time.

Under the sunlight that was much brighter than the flames, everyone subconsciously squinted their eyes.

And it seemed that because the raging flames were too hot, Fandel and Hilco, who were standing in the front, had red faces.

Lux didn't say anything.

But those who saw it with their own eyes understood what Lux meant.

To be honest, although Fandel, Hilco and others are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the councilors and big businessmen in Piltover, they are completely big shots in Zaun.

Therefore, their understanding of this narrow alley is not even as good as Lux, who has developed the habit of silently observing and recording the surrounding environment.

But... this is Zaun after all.

Usually, these people who live in the marginal areas of Zaun and have almost lost their ability to work are also marginal figures in the eyes of other Zaun people. In Zaun, where everyone is struggling to live, the Zaun people have no extra sympathy for them.

However, following Lux, listening to her calmly narrating the lives of everyone here in a completely neutral third-person tone, and watching this alley turn into a ghost cave, even a cold-blooded Hilco can no longer restrain his anger.

Yes, the people living here are all insignificant characters. Even if there is no disaster, perhaps another accident is enough to completely ruin their already fragile lives.

But they were once very normal Zaun people.

But even in such a marginal area and such a difficult situation, they have their own lives.

They once subconsciously ignored this place.

But this neglect was quickly shattered in front of the unknown flowers that were carefully watered, the mechanical arms made of parts, the furry balls in the corners, and the raised corners of the graffiti sun.

The raging flames washed away everything.

But no one can forget these - the grinning sun graffiti, like a seal, is deeply engraved in everyone's mind.

Before, Lux noticed the origin of those little spiders and chose not to leave and fight with Elise, wanting to keep the murderer.

And now, behind Lux, the Zaun people who witnessed all this finally bowed their heads.

Lux is not a Zaun, and she didn't grow up in the ditch.

But at this moment, they finally determined that she is more suitable to lead this ruined city than all the Zaun people present.

"Boss." Hilco coughed softly, "What should we do next?"

"Take back the factory that the Zaun people worked hard to build, open up the food supply line to Kumangla, and protect Calican's laboratory." Lux's tone was weak but firm, "Unite the entire Zaun, drive away the invaders, and defend the hard-earned results of the Zaun people!"

……………………

Lux finally returned to Fulgrim's Tavern safely.

After a short rest, the first thing Lux did was to summarize the results of his investigations in Piltover and Zaun during this period.

Why is Zaun poor, who took away the results of Zaun people's hard work, why can't Zaun resist...

With the help of Kalya, these questions have now been thoroughly sorted out by Lux.

With red eyes, Lux wrote furiously, using his not-so-fluent Zaun slang, and wrote a long and fluent "Letter to the People of Zaun" with more than ten thousand words.

In this popular and straightforward article, Lux uses a simple approach to analyze the current situation of Zaun, starting with the Sungate.

Starting with the construction of the Sungate Sea Lock and the trade monopoly it brought, she talked about the exploitation and oppression of Zaun by the Piltover financial tycoons, the external and internal remnants of the Alchemy Baron as Zaun's comprador, and the fact that foreign countries such as Noxus regard Zaun as a cheap labor base.

Lux tells the story of Zaun in the way of Zaun people, telling why there are always people coming to Zaun and joining Zaun, and why even if Zaun people have to work in factories from the age of twelve, they can never fill their stomachs.

She traces the flow of a gold hex created by the hard work of a child laborer, and uses a straightforward and cruel writing style to tell why a part that acts on the Sungate Sea Lock and costs a gold hex left only a corner of bread in the hands of its forger.

In Zaun, this child laborer may be you or me.

After finally explaining the source of all the hardships, she finally turned her pen to the future. While proposing the violent seizure of the fruits of Zaun's labor that belonged to the people of Zaun, she also described the future direction of Zaun's development.

There are the most skilled workers here, and there are organized assembly line production factories. Lux firmly believes that the concept of magic industrialization proposed by Kalja will surely become a reality in Zaun that benefits every Zaun!

At the end of the article, Lux finally made the most direct appeal, calling on all Zaun people to stand together, take back everything that belongs to them, and run towards their own future.

After completing the article, Lux found Ekko and hoped that he could help her revise it a little bit - although Lux was trying her best to learn the communication method of Zaun people, she felt that it still needed a little polishing.

Ekko naturally would not refuse.

As a result, after getting the manuscript, Ekko's eyes were red as he read it.

Ekko, who was an apprentice in a private workshop, had a better life than child laborers - but even so, he still felt the same about the content of the article.

When he thought of the younger brothers who followed him and thought that their lives were more in line with the content here than his own, Ekko was full of energy for a while. He quickly took the paper and pen and began to quickly revise Lux's manuscript.

"Exploitation... What a strange grammar, just use squeezing."

"Monopoly, this word is very appropriate."

"Well, this sentence can be double-rhymed, it will be much smoother after this change."

"And this paragraph, wouldn't it be great if it was all single-rhymed?"

"..."

"..."

Amid Lux's even breathing, Ike quickly completed the revision, then left the room quietly and closed the door carefully.

……………………

When Lux finally woke up from her sleep, it was already dark.

A ball of light lit up casually, Lux removed the gauze bandaged on her neck, got up with a headache, and pushed open the door of the room.

Ino hadn't come back yet, she planned to go to the front of the tavern to find some water to drink - perhaps because of the overdraft of magic power, she was very thirsty.

However, what Lux didn't know was that when she finally got up, most people in the entire Fugen Tavern were already talking about her article.

After making a simple revision, Ekko excitedly took the revised part and recited it to the people in the tavern in full. Because of the recent chaos in Zaun, there were fewer jobs. After hearing the news of Vandal's return, many people came to the Fugen Tavern to order a glass of water and wait for job introductions.

As Ekko spoke, the workers who were just listening to relieve their boredom at first finally became serious one by one.

There were more and more people around Ekko, and everyone wanted to get closer and hear more clearly.

In this case, Ekko simply stacked the tables together to make a podium, and then stretched his voice in the voice change period and started loudly from the beginning.

The workers who had heard part of it did not urge him, and listened happily from the beginning; others who had not heard the beginning even pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss even a word.

The article revised by Ekko was mixed with a lot of Zaun slang, the text was easy to understand, and it was extremely smooth. With Ekko's smooth words, everyone clearly understood the meaning of Lux.

After reading it once, many people excitedly slapped the table or simply hugged each other. For these Zaun people, no one had ever told them so clearly why their lives were so difficult.

Everyone excitedly grabbed Ekko and almost threw him to the sky.

In this case, Ekko could only hurriedly say, "This is written by Miss Lux, and she can explain a lot of things clearly."

The excited workers immediately got up to find Lux ​​- they were not satisfied enough, and they still had many questions to ask.

In this case, several miners who escorted Lux ​​back briefly told what happened this morning.

Originally, the Zaun people would not believe this kind of "spider as big as a dog" story.

However, when the protagonist of the story was Lux, they finally stopped and chose not to disturb her rest and continued to wait in the tavern.

However, they couldn't just wait.

At the strong request of everyone, Ekko stepped onto the stage again and began to recite loudly.

After two times, Ekko's voice was hoarse.

But it doesn't matter, Craig and Boom also know how to read!

Wei and Milo don't know as many words, but after listening to it twice, they can almost understand it.

The five children who were left in the tavern by Vandel began to take turns to go on stage and read the "Letter to the People of Zaun" at the loudest voice.

Until late at night, the workers were still waiting for Lux to wake up and were still reluctant to leave.

Now, Lux finally woke up.

When she pushed open the door of the tavern, everyone in the tavern gathered around, and some even rushed into the bar attentively, took the initiative to squeeze the bartender, took out the sheep milk powder, and brewed a full cup for her.

"Miss Lux, can we really do this?"

"Those alchemy barons have a lot of thugs..."

"Can everyone use magic?"

"Can the wealth of the Sun Gate flow into Zaun?"

"Are the customs of the Bluebird related to gods?"

"..."

"..."

In the crowd, Ike, Wei, Bomb, Milo and Craig, whose voices were hoarse, were waving their arms excitedly at Lux, and then they were forced out of the crowd. In the end, they could only look at each other and shrug helplessly.

Surrounded by the crowd, Lux widened her eyes in disbelief.

She never thought that she would be so popular.

Or rather, she couldn't imagine that just because of that article, so many people would be willing to ask for her opinion.

Lux just sorted out and recorded what she saw and heard, and with the help of Kalya, she sorted out the logic, but she never expected that it would be regarded as a golden rule by these Zaun people who could not see tomorrow and the future.

Although the fatigue from the overdrawn magic power still gave her a headache, and although the wound on the back of her neck was still pulling her nerves, Lux was still extremely excited.

She was recognized!

Even though these Zaun people might not fully understand every point she said, even though many people simply put themselves in the perspective of the child laborer who worked hard for twelve hours but could not eat enough, Lux was still very excited.

She seemed to have returned to the afternoon of the second day when Kalya began to teach her magic, and returned to a corner of the garden of the Crown Guard family.

That time, she saw the mystery of magic with her own eyes, and magic theory and magic practice were combined for the first time.

This time, she saw a wider world. She combined what she saw and heard with the theories that Kalya had said, and was recognized by the people of Zaun.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I will answer!"

"Ask any questions one by one..."

"Excuse me, thank you!"

"..."

"..."

Surrounded by the tavern workers, she came to the podium made of wine tables, and raised her right hand high amid cheers.

When she loosened her fist, the light in Lux's palm bloomed, completely lighting up the tavern that was originally a little dim.

Suspending this fist-sized ball of light above her head, Lux began to patiently answer these questions.

This time, she was no longer facing nobles who adhered to red tape, but Zaun people who were eager to see the future direction - and after investigation and with the help of Janna, Lux could smoothly answer most of the doubts without relying on Kalya.

The night was deep.

But in the Fulgrim Tavern, the light was as bright as day.

Lux stood on the stage, describing in detail her investigation results, her plans for Zaun, and the great prospect of magic becoming a production tool.

In the crowd, Lux's face was slightly red and her spirits were high. The rune steel armor she had just changed into was a little ill-fitting, but she brought a subtle sense of intimacy - the clothes of Zaun people were often ill-fitting.

Under the shining light, her pure pupils reflected the enthusiastic workers, and her soft golden hair shone brightly.
