Chapter 127 [0125] Arms Dealer
Cassiopeia, who had regained her confidence, found Amistan's "partner" accompanied by Talon.
According to the address provided by Tamara, they went through many twists and turns and finally arrived at a place that was extremely remote even by Zaun's standards.
"Is this place really a military factory?" Looking at the hidden door in front of her that looked like the entrance to a bunker, Cassiopeia recalled the information Tamara had provided her, and her tone was a little more hesitant. "I don't know much about Zaun, but no matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like a military factory, does it?"
"There's a lot of movement down there." Talon reminded in a low voice, "I'm afraid there's something else inside."
"It's better to have something else." Cassiopeia blinked her eyes and showed an expression of hope. "Now, let's go visit this partner who only recognizes Jin Hex... Singed, what a difficult name!"
Talon, who received the order, disappeared silently into the shadows - a moment later, the door of the factory was opened from the inside, Talon made a gesture of mission completion, and soon disappeared into the shadows again.
Cassiopeia nodded, then quickly took on the posture of the second lady of the K'kao family, raised her head slightly, and walked into the factory.
On both sides of her, there were many guys who looked like thugs.
Apparently, Tyrone had just successfully sneaked in and quietly dealt with them - this time, he finally didn't fail again, and Tyrone knocked them out easily.
If it weren't for the fact that these people could barely be considered "ally's men", they would probably not have survived after Tyrone took action.
In this way, Cassiopeia came to the core area of the factory, a laboratory that was plain but full of surprises.
The guys protecting the laboratory had obviously undergone special modifications, and seemed to have used some forbidden drugs. Whether it was reaction speed or flexibility, they were obviously much better than those outside.
However, in front of Tyrone, they were at most "a little troublesome".
The bad fighting habits developed by the gangsters' fights, the perception that could not match the greatly enhanced physical fitness, the brain that could not think normally under impulse...
In Tyrone's eyes, they were simply full of flaws!
Avoiding the two guys' aggressive and powerful fists, Talon briefly hid in the shadows, clenched his fists, and easily hit each of them in the jaw - then, the two big guys who took special drugs and were over three meters tall were knocked to the ground neatly.
After completing all this, Talon did not hide in the shadows again, but dusted off the non-existent dust on his cloak and let out a long breath.
To be frank, these factory guards are in line with Talon's understanding of Zaun people.
As for the Camille, Cyclops, and Lux that I saw before...
What kind of monsters are those!
Sure enough, it's not me who has the problem!
……………………
After confirming that there were no messy mechanisms or magic traps on the door of the laboratory, Cassiopeia pushed the door open without hesitation.
Unlike the heavily guarded periphery, there was only one person fiddling with test tubes in the huge laboratory here.
Looking at the way he shook the test tube vigorously and shook it crazily, he looked like he was using himself as a human centrifuge.
"I knew that those Kumangla people were also dissatisfied with the competition in Piltover..." The other party obviously did not realize that the intruders entered the laboratory at the first time, and did not even raise his head at this time, "Growing glimmers is good for everyone-wait, who are you?"
"Amystan asked me to say hello to you." Cassiopeia looked at the man in front of her with a smile, "Dear Mr. Singed."
"Did you get the news from Noxus?" Singed's bandaged face was expressionless, "I knew that those Noxians were unreliable..."
"It's a pity that you said that." Cassiopeia showed a distressed expression, "After all, I am also a Noxian."
"Then, explain your purpose, Noxian." Singed blinked, "I am a businessman, and I can do business with anyone."
"Are those poisonous gases in Amystan from you?" Cassiopeia stepped forward, her eyes seemed to be inadvertent, and she swept across the various experimental devices around her materials, and various reagents, "Your support is indeed extraordinary. The crazy woman Amistan just used your product to make a big move in Ionia."
"It has nothing to do with me." Singed said indifferently, "The sponsor provides the funds, and I am responsible for the production of the product. As for the use, guidance and subsequent maintenance of the product, Amistan did not pay for this part."
"Believe me, Mr. Singed." Cassiopeia approached the test bench, "That was a major change that was enough to change a war. In the words of you Zaun people, Amistan made a big deal."
"So what?" Singed still looked indifferent, "The transaction of money and goods is impeccable."
"It seems that Mr. Singed does not seem to understand the rules of Noxus." Cassiopeia shook her head, with a look of pity on her face, "You are Ms. Amistan's arms supplier. For the empire, you are a group. No one will care whether you cooperate for money or ideals."
"So?" Singed finally put down the test tube in his hand and looked at the obviously bluish liquid inside, with a hint of disappointment in his tone. "What if you came to inform me that Noxus wants to cause trouble for me?" , then I thank you for your kindness - and then, when you leave the laboratory, close the door for me. "
"You have lost a collaborator." Cassiopeia, who thought she had figured out the other party's habits, changed her words without hesitation, "A crazy and generous collaborator, and at the same time, Zaun was also Piltover is on lockdown."
"That is indeed a bit troublesome." Singed nodded, "But fortunately, the preliminary experiments on the shimmer and sewer gas are over. I can afford to wait."
Obviously, Singed had guessed what Cassiopeia meant.
“That’s it—” Cassiopeia prolonged her tone, “Then I’m afraid I have to tell you some unfortunate news. Just last night, the Gray Lady of Piltover came to Zaun in person, and today Piltover While Twov is blocking Zaun, the Council is also making internal adjustments. In the next period of time, I am afraid that your experiments will not be able to continue."
Singed finally stopped talking. He stood up straight and looked at Cassiopeia condescendingly, as if waiting for her to continue.
"And now, there is a generous lady who is very interested in your invention and is hoping to replace that madman Amystan." A standard smile appeared on Cassiopeia's face, "She brought a large sum of money Kim Hex, Imperial Goodwill, and Self-Authentication.”
"I want to see Golden Hex." Singed was very direct. "By the way, tell me, what are you going to cooperate with - poison gas? Stimulants? Painkillers? Or some other alchemy products? Different products have different prices. no the same……"
"The goal of my cooperation is Zaun." Cassiopeia opened her arms and looked like she was embracing the world, "The entire Zaun!"
Cassiopeia's words finally made Singed frown.
"You look far crazier than Amystan now." He looked at Cassiopeia, who was full of fanaticism, and finally shook his head with some disappointment, "And you can't understand human speech-Zuan is not What alchemical product.”
"The difference is not big." Cassiopeia wrote lightly, "Mr. Singed, if you want to continue your research, cooperation with me is the only option."
"You can leave now, this crazy lady." Singed waved his hand in great disappointment, "What a pity, such a beautiful skin has a crazy soul living in it."
"I said, this is the only choice." Cassiopeia winked at Tyrone, "Serving the empire is your only choice!"
"I don't believe that Noxus will start a war with Piltover at this time." Singed shook his head and picked up a test tube again, "I have seen a lot more liars and lobbyists - it's a pity that I only Interested in gold hex and alchemical experiments..."
Before he finished speaking, Tai Lung's figure had already sprung out of the shadows and attacked Singed directly.
Considering the identity of the opponent, Tai Lung did not launch a killing move immediately, but planned to give the opponent a blow on the throat to make him shut up and listen quietly for a while.
However, what Tairon never expected was that although his blow accurately hit Singed's throat, it did not have the effect he expected - Singed twisted his neck and stretched out his hand at the same time. He stretched out his arm and held Tai Long's right hand.
"Rude fellow, you're interrupting a great experiment!"
At the same time, Singed shook off an empty syringe with his other hand.
As the syringe was thrown to the ground, his old and shriveled body rapidly expanded visibly to the naked eye. Tai Lung's arm was tightly held by him, unable to break free no matter what.
The severe pain from his wrist made Tai Lung's face slightly distorted under his hood. In this case, he simply escaped into the shadows and disappeared completely.
Singed's hand was empty.
"It's this assassin's trick again." Singed curled his lips with some disdain, "Fortunately, I was prepared."
Losing his target, Singed simply pressed a secret button hidden under the table.
The next moment, the ventilation fan in the laboratory stopped and started again, and this time it was rotating in the opposite direction.
A large amount of poisonous gas began to pour into the laboratory.
Cassiopeia immediately put on a filter on herself.
However... this doesn't make any sense.
The filtered air still had a strong pungent smell, and Cassiopeia still burst into tears.
It’s not just the respiratory system that’s at risk.
Cassiopeia's exposed skin also began to rapidly become red and itchy, and ulcers were about to appear!
"Since you know that Amystan's poisonous gas has caused a big mess in Ionia." Singed shook his head and stared at Cassiopeia in front of him as if he were looking at a dead person, "Then why do you still think so foolishly? You can threaten me with an unknown assassin - I caught you!"
Seeing Cassiopeia in danger, Talon rushed out of the shadows again, but before he could get close to Singed, he could no longer move forward.
While the poisonous gas was filling the air, a lot of strong adhesive also emerged from the ground. When Tai Lung appeared, he happened to step on it and was immediately unable to move.
"Noxians, what a great reputation!" Singed, who had taken control of the situation, shook his head slightly, "Unfortunately, you seem to have found the wrong opponent!"
"Are you crazy? Attack the Noxian envoy—"
"It seems that the concentration of poison gas is not enough, and you still have the strength to talk nonsense."
"The Empire will not let you go—"
"Don't try to use the name of Noxus to pressure me. Your empire can't escape now."
"We can cooperate!" In this case, Cassiopeia finally couldn't care less about being reserved anymore, "I'm only interested in one ruins in Zaun..."
"Are there any ruins in Zu'an?" Xingid said slowly, "What are you going to do? You have to tell me quickly. The erosion of the poisonous gas is irreversible. If I can't finish it in three minutes, I'm afraid you will have to die in this incense." Jade is dead."
"It's just a ruins!" Cassiopeia shouted, "There is a Cyclops guard there, I don't have enough manpower!"
"Cyclops?" Singed showed an interested expression for the first time, "I've only heard of them in the ancient Shurima folk myths - and most of the time, it's ignorant people who don't know how to construct structures. The body spreads rumors."
"Maybe that Cyclops is also a construct!" Cassiopeia's last little trick was revealed, and she could only admit in embarrassment, "But no one can open that ruins except us!"
"..."
After thinking for a moment, Singed pressed the button under the table again.
The poisonous gas was quickly exhausted, and Cassiopeia, who was all red and seemed to have been cooked, collapsed in the corner of the laboratory, breathing in fresh air.
She never wanted to experience this kind of poisoning again!
Very poisonous...
Singed, extremely poisonous...
I have recorded today’s grudge!
In the future, I will definitely throw you into more terrible poisons and let you taste this feeling!
I swear!
Although she was gnashing her teeth and swearing revenge in her heart, on the surface Cassiopeia still looked like she was surviving the disaster and was still in shock.
"I don't need the construct - if you are interested in the knowledge in the laboratory, you can make a copy... I just want the magic items in it!"
"Then what is your judgment on magic items?" Singed finally showed the attitude he should have in negotiating between a scientist and a sponsor, "Anything is a magic item?"
"Only those that are full of magical power count!" Cassiopeia waved her hand in panic, "Besides, I bought it - I will pay gold hex for every magic item!"
"Look, wouldn't it be nice if you said this earlier?" Singed smiled for the first time, "Okay, my generous new sponsor, I don't know your name yet..."
Kalya’s Little Classroom·Gutter Gas:
This poisonous gas is extremely destructive to the environment and has had a very bad impact on Ionia.
