Chapter 93 The Most Dazzling Talents in the Two Cities

"Come with me, I'll take you to the academy."

"Remember, don't wander around after you get in. Many professors' laboratories in the academy are restricted areas. If you accidentally destroy their experiments, I won't pay for you."

"Also, you are not allowed to take things out of the academy without permission, but I don't think you will do that, because only Zaun people will do that."

Following Jayce, Rowan walked into Piltover's Piltover University.

This is probably the first school Rowan has seen in this world. Demacia also has schools, but they are military schools, which are used to train soldiers, and those who can enter the school are all children of nobles.

But Piltover University is different. After entering Piltover University, Rowan really felt like he had come to the modern era. The academic atmosphere was very strong. Students could be seen everywhere carrying books and carts. Their faces showed the unique vigor and confidence of young people, and their high spirits would make people immersed in it.

"Do you hate Zaun?" Listening to Jayce's nagging, Rowan couldn't help but speak.

"You are an outsider, you don't understand, but you can't listen to me. Zaun people are rude, stupid and immoral, you know? Nine out of ten thefts in Piltover were done by Zaun people, and the remaining one was done by foreigners." Jayce said loudly.

"So, Piltover people don't steal?"

"How can we steal? We have everything, do we still need to steal? Only people who have nothing will steal." Jayce turned around and looked at Rowan and said unhappily.

Rowan shook his head and smiled, and said nothing more.

Rowan did not agree with what Jayce said.

Don't rich people steal?

Are all the ten thefts in Piltover really done by Zaun people? Besides. Even if Piltover people really don't steal, are Piltover people softer than Zaun people when they do bad things?

When Piltover people do bad things, they do a big one!

As far as Rowan knows, many of Demacia's Piltover merchant ships have a lot of smuggled goods in them. People of Jayce's class don't know what the councilors and upper-class people do.

After all, Jayce is just a middle-class family in Piltover. His Talis family is the best family in Piltover to make hammer tools. They make a lot of money, but they are definitely not a big family.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see someone first. He is from Zaun, but he studies in this academy. The professor said that he is a genius." Jayce said to Rowan.

When Rowan heard this, his eyes lit up.

Oh!

Could it be.

————

Ten minutes later, Rowan followed Jayce to the research institute of Piltover University and entered a room. As soon as he entered the door, Rowan subconsciously frowned.

Because the environment in the room was extremely dirty and messy, Rowan even felt that there was no place for him to step.

In the room, a lot of things were randomly put together, in a mess. In the other corner of the room, there were all kinds of huge ores. A thin man was sitting in front of a device that looked very high-end with his back to Rowan and others. He had black hair and was extremely thin. His back revealed a faint sense of loneliness.

As if he heard a voice, he turned around and smiled when he saw Jayce, saying, "You're back?"

Rowan looked at him and used the Sky Exploration.

[Victor]

[Friendliness: One Star]

[Age: 21]

[Race: Human]

[Strength: No Danger]

[Skills: Science (8) Research and Development (7) Knowledge (6)]

[Luck: Mechanical Pioneer (S)]

Rowan was amused. The difference in skills between the two people was really small, and their ages were similar, but from the perspective of skills, it can be found that the two people are good at different things.

Jayce's ability in science is not as good as Victor's, but Jayce's research and development ability is stronger than Victor's.

Jayce is more creative, while Victor is more hands-on.

"Well, Viktor, I've found a helper. He's very strong. Let him move all those things." Jayce reached out and patted Rowan on the shoulder, and said cheerfully to the man in front.

The man named Viktor also stood up and walked slowly towards Rowan. When he came to Rowan, he stretched out his hand, "Viktor, Viktor from Zaun."

Rowan looked at Viktor and stretched out his hand, "Rowan, from Demacia."

"Demacia? I've heard of it. It's a good place." Viktor said gently.

Jayce looked down at his watch next to him, and then he said anxiously: "I still have something to do. Well, Viktor, tell him everything you need. I'll go to do my own thing first."

Viktor nodded.

Then, he invited Rowan to sit down, and then Viktor picked up a teapot and began to pour water for Rowan.

"What did he do?"

"He? Piltover's Evolution Day is coming up in a few days. He should be going to see Miss Catherine from the Law Enforcement Team. Just like you thought, a love affair." Victor said.

Rowan smiled. Jayce chased the policewoman. It was also shown in the anime, although he didn't succeed.

Victor walked up to Rowan and said, "Drink a glass of water first, take a rest, and then, we'll start working."

Rowan raised the cup and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Victor and said, "What do I need to do?"

"You are still impatient." Victor laughed. He pointed to the ore over there and said, "Clean the ore over there first. It's very heavy. Be careful."

“Separate them by color.”

After Victor finished speaking, he put on his glasses again and looked down at the book in his hand while standing.

When Rowan saw that Victor was silent, he walked towards the small mountain of stones, stepped forward and easily picked them up, and Rowan began to divide them according to color.

Are these stones found from Shurima?

So, Jace has started developing Hextech?

But this is different from what Rowan knows. In the Battle of Two Cities anime, didn't Jace meet Victor after he developed Hex Technology and was destroyed because it was threatening?

Unlike Jace who wanted to gain prestige with Hextech, Victor joined the research to make Zaun better.

"alright."

Ten minutes later, Rowan clapped his hands and looked at Victor.

Then, he saw a surprised expression on Victor's face. He pushed up his glasses, looked at Rowan and said in surprise: "You are really strong. I thought you wouldn't be able to finish it in less than an hour or two. I'm sorry. , let me see how you differentiate first."

Victor walked up, lowered his head and started to look at the ores, and then he clicked on a few of them.

"Please help me move these ores." Victor said to Rowan.

Rowan stepped forward and lifted the ore easily.

"Thanks."

"No, I get paid," Rowan said.

Victor was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "That's right."

"You should rest first. I have one more thing that I need your help with later."

"Okay." Rowan sat quietly next to him, watching Victor holding a strange device. Was it like a magnifying glass? In short, he held the device and looked back and forth at the stone. At this moment, Victor devoted himself entirely to studying the ore, ignoring Rowan.

And Rowan didn't do anything annoying. He sat calmly in his position and quietly waited for Victor to finish the matter at hand.

On the second day after arriving in the Twin Cities, Rowan met the two most dazzling geniuses in this sister city-state.

Mechanical Pioneer - Victor.

Future Guardian - Jace.

Anyone who has watched the Battle of the Two Cities will basically not hate Victor. His original intention is great. From the beginning, he was studying Hex technology for Zaun. Although Victor later learned that he was going to die, Victor lost his mind. , but that’s human nature.

Jace and Victor are exactly the opposite. In the beginning, Jace was just for prestige and honor. He is indeed a genius, but at the same time he is also a reckless young man.

However, after becoming the eighth councilor of Piltover, Jace slowly changed, especially in the later episodes when he changed himself, built a hammer, and invaded Silko's territory with Vi.

At that time, Jace was worthy of the name of a councilman. He risked his own life just for the safety and interests of Piltover.

In short, these two people are both people that Rowan likes very much.

And now, watching Victor sitting there studying the ore, Rowan was also thinking about something.

Victor's lifespan is not long, and the reason why his temperament changes drastically is because he is going to die. But what if Lux cures him?

Magic, sometimes it is really omnipotent.

Victor, can you become a member of his team?

But Rowan found it quite difficult. People like Victor, who spoke softly and would give in to others, were the hardest to win over because they were extremely determined in their hearts.

So, you have to let Victor owe you a favor first.

"Why do you keep looking at me like this?"

Sensing Rowan's gaze, Victor suddenly said.

"I was wondering when you were going to give me a job," Rowan replied.

Victor sighed and stood up, "This is the first time I have seen someone like you. Are all Demacians as honest as you?"

"maybe."

"Okay, Rowan, please help me take that thing with me, and then help me move it to my house."

"Isn't that waste?" Rowan looked at where Victor was pointing and said to him.

Victor shook his head and said softly: "To the people of Piltover, this is trash, but to the people of Zaun, it is treasure. Don't worry, did Jace tell you that things from the academy cannot be taken out? But This was something Jace didn’t want, he was going to throw it away, but I asked him for it.”

Rowan nodded, walked over there, and picked up the treasure Victor said.

A broken instrument.

"Let's go to Zaun."

"Oh, by the way, wait a minute while I go find you a filter. Without that, you won't be able to adapt to the air in Zaun."

"No," Rowan said to Victor, and he continued, "I don't need a filter, I'm not like you."

Victor was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded.

Then, Rowan and Victor walked out of the institute together.

He first carefully locked the door, and then slowly walked out of the academy with Rowan. Rowan carrying a huge instrument certainly attracted the attention of many people, but fortunately they all knew Victor, so no one stopped him.

Another thing is that the clothes Rowan is wearing are not ordinary. He looks like a small noble. Coupled with his fair appearance, no one would think that Rowan is a Zaun.

The two walked together towards the east of Piltover, where the Dance Corridor, the top floor of Zaun, connected to the bottom floor of Piltover.

When Rowan arrived at the Dance Corridor, he immediately recognized that this was Zaun.

Because although they were connected, the two regions seemed to be two different worlds, with completely different architectural styles, people's clothing, appearance, and spirit were also completely different.

Victor looked at Rowan who looked around but did not show any disgust, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he reached behind Rowan and patted Rowan on the back.

Rowan turned around.

Victor smiled kindly and said softly, "Welcome to Zaun."
