Chapter 145 【0143】 Things Have Changed

Until he was escorted to the Enforcement Bureau, Victor didn't realize why.

Was it because of Singed?

It shouldn't be...

Victor couldn't figure out how Singed could commit such a serious crime that would implicate even his former students.

In his mind, his teacher was nothing compared to other Zaun people who committed violent crimes and crimes...

What bad intentions could an alchemist who spent years in the laboratory have?

Soon, at the Enforcement Bureau, all his doubts were answered - the law enforcement officers handed Victor copies of some documents that were not confidential materials and asked him to confess and be lenient.

And Victor, who took the documents, opened his eyes wider and wider.

Illegal medical practice, a minor crime that was not traced back before the establishment of New Zaun, does not count. Singed's main crimes are reflected in the following points.

War crimes: subjectively and objectively knowing the effects of his products and knowing that they were used for war purposes, but still providing poison gas bombs and glimmer stimulants to Noxians for economic benefits.

Crimes against humanity: If the Glimmer Potion has its positive side and can be used as a prescription drug when necessary, then the trench gas bomb is a complete anti-human product and must be completely banned.

Intentional injury resulting in death: The experimenters in Singed's laboratory are nominally volunteers, but many are actually bought, and they all fall within the scope of being voluntary.

Crimes against public safety: During the negotiation with Lux, the dangerous trench gas bomb was used, which almost caused irreversible and serious damage to Zaun.

Looking at his teacher's "glorious resume", Viktor was completely dumbfounded.

Viktor knew that Singed had always had a side of a mad scientist - he was ruthless in experiments and extremely enthusiastic about any achievements and progress, but he never thought that the teacher who had once promoted him would have such a twisted and terrifying side.

This made Viktor a little horrified in addition to being surprised. This kind of loss of humanity was not what he wanted to see...

Viktor, who put down the information, suddenly didn't know what to say. Facing the gaze of the law enforcement officer, he could only explain his purpose dryly.

He was not here to rob the prison, nor did he have any conspiracy, he just wanted to get some help with alchemy.

Then, just as the other law enforcement officers were looking at him with suspicion, a young man with a tuft of white hair on his head pushed the door open.

"Victor has been bailed out, and the letter of commitment has been signed." The man took out a letter of commitment and handed it to the leader of the law enforcement officers, then turned around and looked at Wei, "Don't forget to come back for dinner tonight, Bao Bao said she prepared special dishes for you."

"... Got it, Ekko." Wei rolled her eyes helplessly, "I hope that by then, it's not you who runs away halfway."

The next moment, in Victor's surprised eyes, Ekko gave him a warm hug.

"Victor, you didn't even say a word when you returned to Zaun!"

In a sense, Victor and Ekko are "carrying guns together". Although Ekko had some prejudices against Victor at the beginning, that night, when Victor, Jayce and Ekko worked together to mine and save people with the Hextech device that had not yet been developed, they were comrades fighting side by side.

That dark mine was their trench.

In fact, after the establishment of New Zaun, Ekko tried to find Viktor and wanted to bring him back to Zaun. According to him, Viktor was a good person to get along with. Although he seemed like a sickly person, he would really do something.

Unfortunately, Viktor and Jayce were both Piltover’s treasures, especially after Camille took full control and Hextech became a new growth point for Piltover. Camille personally rejected Viktor’s previous applications for “visits”.

After the mining, Jayce thought he had no debt to Zaun, and with his relationship with Mel, he gradually entered the top ranks of Piltover.

But Viktor was different.

After all, he was born in Zaun and mastered Piltover’s key technologies.

Camille didn’t want him to have any thoughts that he shouldn’t have. If she hadn’t wanted to ease the relationship between the two cities, she would never allow Viktor to set foot on Zaun again.

Of course, Viktor didn’t know all this.

……………………

With Ekko as a guarantee and a signed letter of guarantee, Viktor and Skye left the Enforcement Bureau smoothly.

(During this period, Ekko also asked Skye about his identity, and then signed an additional letter of guarantee - but the subtle glances he glanced between the two made the assistant seem a little uneasy.)

And from Ekko's mouth, Viktor finally learned the details of his teacher.

"He is going to be sent to Ionia?!" Viktor widened his eyes in surprise, "Why is that?"

"Because compared to Zaun, Ionia has more power to judge him." Ekko looked calm, "You probably don't know what terrible damage the sewer gas caused to Ionia... and many things before the establishment of New Zaun are not so clear."

Ekko did not hide this point - the trial of Singed has always been a topic that Zaun cannot avoid.

Although in theory, his use of gas bombs on Lux fully deserved the death penalty, the problem was never this part, but before.

Whether or not Singed's actions before the founding of New Zaun should be investigated is a question.

If he was pursued, it would involve punishing him without teaching, and it would be unjustifiable to not pursue him, so Lux finally made the decision to send him to Ionia.

Before the founding of New Zaun, he served his sentence in Ionia. If the Ionians mercifully spared his life, then Zaun would directly give him a happy life for his attack on Lux.

By the way, I can also sell Ionia a favor, which can be regarded as using waste and killing two birds with one stone.

Victor blinked, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't. After reading the information, he really had no way to defend Singed.

Singed himself admitted knowing the effects of the gas and what the Noxians were using it for, and he deserved it in every sense of the word.

"Don't think about him anymore." Ike gently patted Victor on the shoulder, "I heard that you are here to seek help in alchemy? Tell me, I might be able to help!"

"you?"

Victor was stunned for a moment.

"Why, you look down on me?" Ike took out a medal from his pocket, sighed, wiped it and put it on his chest, "How about the youngest alchemist of the Zaun Alchemy Association? This title is cool. Not cool?”

"Didn't you work as an apprentice in a machinery factory before?" Victor said hesitantly, "Isn't this a bit different from an alchemist?"

"I told you, I'm a genius." Ike looked high-spirited, as if he was still the guy who found the academy and took the initiative to carry the cutting machine. "In terms of rune alchemy, there are few people in Zaun who are better than me. Qiang, if you need help with anything, just ask!”

"I - cough cough cough!" Victor couldn't help coughing twice, "I'm afraid it won't work. What I need is help from the human body..."

"Your body can't hold it anymore?" Seeing this scene, Ike finally frowned, "You are also from Zu'an. You should know the dangers of those alchemy potions. They are not suitable for your physical condition."

"I don't want to use potions to transform myself." Victor waved his hand and explained in a low voice, "This involves some confidential projects in Piltover. I'm sorry I can't disclose them. In short, I need something to enhance my body's physical tolerance. The help of alchemical technology.”

"Enhance the body's physical tolerance?" Ike touched his chin, "Well, let's do this. Come to the Alchemy Association with me and sit for a while. I'll see if I can help you think of a way - if it's for words about your body.”

"Well, thank you." Victor nodded, "Let's go."

……………………

It seemed that because of the mention of Victor's health, the three of them fell silent - Ike stopped showing off his achievements, Victor was observing the new Zaun intently, and Skye was one step behind, looking at Victor worriedly.

Soon, the three people turned around two streets and arrived at the Alchemy Association in Zaun.

This is a rather imposing building, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. At first glance, it looks a bit like a flask.

The outer wall of the Alchemy Association building is different from the surrounding buildings. There are no deep or light red graffiti on it, but it maintains the original gray color of the beggar's version of the forbidden magic stone.

But when Victor got closer and took a closer look, he could see that there were squares of pure color like mosaics above the door.

Seeing this unique shape, Victor subconsciously asked: "What is that?"

"That's the alchemy mark." Ike smiled. "According to the standards of the Alchemy Association, memorable achievements will leave a square on the outside of the building in its most prominent color - now we have only filled a dozen of them. A square, but I believe this building will be covered in various colors sooner or later!”

Victor blinked in surprise.

This is indeed a very interesting idea. Select the representative color of alchemy results and make a color block outside the building, as if everyone worked together to build an alchemy building using alchemy...

This is really a genius idea. In a sense, it is much more interesting than the statues all over the floor at Piltover Academy of Science and Progress!

"I will look for the previous journals for you later and tell you about the color blocks that I have now." Aikela opened the door, "Let's go and sit in my office for a while. Don't waste time here. "

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Zunan Alchemy Association Building:

This wonderfully shaped building just won Zaun's first Best Architectural Design Award not long ago - both designers and alchemists, everyone is very satisfied with it.
