Chapter 77 [0075] Walls Have Ears
Lux is all too familiar with Kalya's tone of voice in which everything is under control - in Demacia, when Lux made up her mind to rescue Ino and change Demacia, Kalya used this tone. , proposed the plan that made the Demacia nobles still be grateful to Lux.
But now, Kalya took the initiative to speak again, which made Lux realize immediately that Kalya was definitely ready again.
As for the rare voluntary admission of failure just now, it was really just paving the way.
"So... the first thing is to hire people to clean out the Kalikan laboratory you mentioned?"
"Yes, that is the top priority." Kalya said in a serious tone, "The property in the laboratory will be the source of change in Zaun. Janna has always protected its integrity, even sacrificing a lot of faith for it. Many people in Zaun have forgotten the sound of the bluebird."
"What exactly is in that?" Lux frowned, "You said before that it was a seed?"
"It's the seed." Kalyayun said softly, "The seed of the rune tree."
"Oh, the seeds of the rune tree - wait!" Lux's eyes widened, "The rune trees are the ancient, fossilized rune trees that we saw when Demacia was founded?"
"That's right, the main raw material of the Forbidden Demon Stone." Kalya confirmed Lux's statement, "Kalikan's laboratory is mainly engaged in the improvement and cultivation of the Forbidden Demon Tree."
"...This news is really impactful." Rao was already mentally prepared for what Kalya had done, but after hearing the contents of Kalikan's research, Lux couldn't help but be stunned, "You guys Why was such an experiment carried out in Zaun so long ago?”
"This involves some internal fighting issues in Shurima at that time." Kalya was unwilling to say more about the reasons in this regard, and just said a simple sentence, "I think there was a problem in Shurima at that time, but It's a pity that I alone can't change this situation, so I entrusted my students - mainly those who are relatively reliable, to start studying the cultivation of rune trees and try to cultivate a reliable enough one. Rune tree.”
"And these in Demacia..."
"It is one of my achievements." Kalya did not continue to say more on this topic. "At that time, Zaun was still called Oshra Vazuan. It was an inconspicuous small city in the north of Shurima. It had underground water resources. It is rich and has many caves, which is very suitable for the lightless growth and cultivation of rune trees. "
"So, you want to develop rune tree cultivation and manufacture rune stones and rune steel in Zaun?" Lux took a deep breath and calmed herself down slowly, "But I always feel that the people of Piltover will not be happy to see this. Yes, think about Finn, the Piltovers really need the Zaunians to do things they don't want to do on their behalf."
"Rune stones and rune steel are a complete waste of rune trees." Kalya sighed, "When it was first established in Demacia, I really couldn't reveal more, because as soon as the messengers of the giant god discovered the existence of rune trees, they raised Be wary of trying to find me... That's a really bad history. Rune trees are not just materials for making rune stones and rune steel."
"What about the Piltover people?" Lux blinked, "You must have a plan, right?"
"Theoretically, the products of the Rune Tree and the enlightenment gems currently used by the Piltover people - they call them Hex Crystals are complementary." Kalya omitted most of the theoretical pushback and directly gave the conclusion, "Hex The amazing energy in the crystal can be directly used by others through the secondary transmission of rune stones, but we still need specific experiments for this, so I have always hoped that you could get some Hex gems. "
"Sorry, I was too busy talking to Jace about his ideals."
"But this is not a rush." Kalya comforted him, "Although the channels at the academy are very exclusive, in fact, even the Hex crystals of the Piltover people were mined from Zaun. If that doesn’t work...it’s not unacceptable to start with mining.”
"Then if we successfully take over Calican's laboratory, wouldn't everything be fine?" Lux thought for a while, feeling that the future seemed bright, "Plant trees in Zaun, and then create rune stones - as long as Once the possible interference from Piltover is dealt with, Zaun's situation will get better!"
"It's not that simple." Kalya couldn't help but smile after hearing this. "Development can indeed solve many problems, but there are also some problems that development cannot solve. Even though Zaun is just a city, it needs to change. There are many, many more…”
"..."

……………………
Kalya once again began to detail and arrange his "big plan".
Outside Fulgen's Tavern, a white-haired boy was lying on the roof eating ashes.
In the room, Kalya was discussing with Lux their plans to change the world in Zaun - while on the roof, Ekko was trying to eavesdrop on their plans.
Although Fandel finally allowed Lux and Ino to live in the house where Vi, Blast, Milo and Clegg once lived, the four children were not very willing after hearing about it.
It's hard to tell whether this was out of a child's petty mood or out of aversion to outsiders. After some discussion, they recommended Ike to come over to "gather information."
Although Wei is the best among the group of children, she has been closely watched by Vandel recently and has no chance to leave their hiding place. In this case, Ike took the lead and stood up to show that he could find out the "conspiracy of the foreign wizard".
Ike is familiar with the environment here. There are many small gadgets that can be used in the Fulgrim Tavern itself. He has even eavesdropped on many of Vandel's little secrets. Monitoring two outsiders is not a casual thing.
Unfortunately, if it was the day before, Ike would have a good chance - but now, with Janna joining the team, Ike's eavesdropping was discovered at the first time.
(Of course, it was precisely because of the possibility of being monitored that Kalya kept silent until he found Janna.)
After finally climbing onto the roof, Ike, who was looking for the loose brick, was blinded by a sudden gust of wind. Then, just as he was rubbing his eyes, another gust of wind blew and blew several pieces of wrapping paper to his feet.
With his vision impaired, Ekko stepped on it without any precautions, then rolled down the roof and finally plunged into the garbage dump behind the house.
At the same time, the blue bird that was originally standing on Lux's shoulder finally jumped and inserted the branch in its mouth into the gap of the table, then flapped its wings and made a joyful cry.
For Janna, it was a good thing that Zaun was saved, and Ekko's plunge into the garbage dump was another good thing that made her happy.

Believers are influenced by gods, and gods are often influenced by their believers in turn - Janna sometimes has a very "Zuan" side. This gentle and kind storm guardian likes to play pranks harmlessly.
