Chapter 207 206 Ezreal's Death, Dark Alley, Tavern of the Glimmer

What he said made sense, and Harder couldn't refute it for a moment.

But that doesn't matter.

He had never planned to take this strange stuff himself anyway.

At best, it can be left as an option in desperate situations.

You will never lose money.

So at that moment, I happily accepted the other party's thank you gift.

But after that, when Vladimir wanted to entertain them, Hader chose to refuse without hesitation.

In his own words: We are not familiar with each other.

This is undoubtedly very embarrassing for Vladimir.

But after he changed his mind and inquired about the other party's destination, he couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

The next day, he came to the deck with a cane and found Anita who was in a daze.

Under the sun, his face looked very sick, but he still chatted with Anita for a long time before going back to the cabin.

Then the third day, and the fourth day, until the passenger ship finally docked at a pier in Piltover.

Compared to Shurima and Noxus, Piltover's urban construction is very crowded and can almost be described as bloated.

And they don't seem to need farming or grazing.

In the entire city built on the mountain, there are only a large number of advanced workshops and factories.

"Wow! What a huge city! I'm afraid it's already bigger than the Imperial Capital!"

Seeing such a majestic and majestic city for the first time, Anita finally pulled away from her mind briefly and let out a lifelong sigh.

As soon as he finished speaking, Vladimir, who followed him down the deck, chuckled: "If the 'Imperial Capital' you are talking about is the capital of Shurima, then I'm sorry, it doesn't have Peart. Wolf is big. Because underneath this majestic city, there is actually an even larger city-state - Zaun."

"Zu'an? Is it the Zu'an that once produced [Shimmer]?"

Jelena's eyes lit up instantly.

She had heard of Zu An.

Because when her mother gave birth to her, she relied on [Glimmer] to survive the danger of exhaustion of essence and blood.

This is a "disaster" that every ascended bloodline birth mother must endure.

Because at the beginning of birth, almost every ascended bloodline will automatically and uncontrollably grab nutrients and power from the mother's body.

If the mother's body cannot produce enough nutrients, not only will the ascending bloodline be unable to survive, but she herself will also die due to depletion of essence and blood.

Of course, this is actually the fault of the Sun God Cult.

If they hadn't controlled the healing water, Jelena's birth probably wouldn't have been so rough.

"[Glimmer]?"

"What a nice name."

"Perhaps for people living at the bottom, that thing is indeed the only glimmer of light in their lives."

"But that's not a good thing!"

"While giving power, it often comes with greater costs."

"It's like my bottle of holy demon blood."

"If it's not necessary, I suggest you don't touch that kind of thing."

Hearing the word [Glimmer], Vladimir smiled again.

There seemed to be endless stories hidden in that smile, as deep as a bottomless lake.

And then, he greeted his maid and slowly walked away, as if he had decided to part ways with Jelena and others.

"This man is so strange. He looks very sick every day."

Seeing Vladimir walking slowly away, Anita couldn't help but frown.

"It's quite strange. But since everyone is gone, it doesn't matter anymore. Our top priority now is to quickly find the person named [Ezreal]!"

Harder also nodded. But then, the conversation changed again.

"Let's go and find out first! I heard that he is very famous in Pi City. Many people should recognize him."

Jelena nodded.

Next, the four of them started to work separately to find out the whereabouts of Ezreal.

Soon there was progress at Quick.

"I know where Ezreal is! But if you want me to take you there, you must pay me a rune gold coin!"

He met a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

That guy also had a few friends with him, and it seemed like he was not a good person.

"Then let's go ask others."

Quick naturally refused to be taken advantage of and said angrily.

But after hearing the news, Jelena did throw out three silver coins: "This is the down payment! I will give you the rest of the money after meeting the person."

"Okay. But you'd better not default on your debt! I know the law enforcement officer here very well."

After weighing the pros and cons, the young man finally nodded.

Then, he greeted the four of them and walked all the way to the bridge in the distance.

However, before leaving, Jelena did not forget to ask a certain dock worker to help her pay attention to Nadine's news.

Because she knew that as long as she could successfully escape, Nadine would definitely come to Piltover to join them.

Half an hour later, everyone came to a narrow alley, and there happened to be three or five young people with the same evil spirit entrenched there.

"Is it really a trap? Can't you see we have swords on us?"

Jelena was not surprised at all, but her pretty face turned a little cold.

While she was speaking, Harder and Quick also drew their swords, one on the left and the other on the right, guarding Jelena's side.

Only Anita did not dare to take action easily because she was afraid of killing everyone in front of her.

"Sword? Hahahaha! She said they have swords! Hahahaha!!"

Seeing Jelena and others getting ready for battle, the young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks couldn't help laughing wildly.

As he laughed, the gangsters around him also laughed.

Then, a certain long-haired ruffian took out a gun with a pretentious look and pointed it at Jelena and others.

Then the second one, the third one.

Even the young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, after completely controlling the situation, slowly took out a long gun as long as an arm from his crotch, and casually took out a bullet and stuffed it in: "Now you have two A choice! One, take the initiative to hand over your money and get out. Two, die under Grandpa’s gun, and then Grandpa will take away your wallet.”

"Aren't you afraid of alerting the law enforcement officers?"

Jelena and Quick's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.

Hader and Anita, on the other hand, narrowed their eyes and looked carefully at the gun barrels around them.

The former relies on intuition, while the latter directly sees something and wants to confirm it.

"I told you. I'm very familiar with the law enforcement officer here!"

"When we kill you, we can claim that you died at the hands of the Zaans!"

"You are all outsiders anyway, so the higher-ups won't make a big move because of this."

The young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said viciously.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed past and blasted him away.

He didn't even have time to scream, and all his flesh and blood turned into charcoal.

The inferior firearm in his hand also smashed into parts after hitting the wall.

"What are you doing? Do you want to die?"

Seeing this scene, the gangsters around were frightened and quickly raised their firearms and pointed them at Anita.

But in the face of their threats, Anita showed no fear at all.

Harder, who was beside him, even sneered: "It's you who want to die! How dare you come to rob others with a bunch of firearms without ammunition! It's a miracle that you can survive until now!"

Yes!

The guns in the hands of those gangsters had no bullets at all.

The only one with bullets was actually the young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

And that guy obviously has no chance of shooting now.

"Who said there are no bullets in our guns! Believe it or not, I will make several big holes in your body!"

After their trump card was exposed, the gangsters immediately panicked. Only the long-haired ruffian still had luck in his heart and had a stern look on his face.

But at this time, Harder had obviously lost interest in distinguishing him.

"Then come on! Before I chop you to death, try to shoot me!"

He put the sword back into its scabbard, spread his hands, and stepped forward coldly.

Knowing that they and others had kicked an iron plate, the gangsters immediately dispersed.

Only the long-haired ruffian, with no way to escape, could only kneel on the ground with a thud: "Hero, spare your life! I'm just following orders! The one who wants to lead you to the broken bridge in the east of the city is a man in a cloak. Big pie face, but the one who decided to rob you first really has nothing to do with me!”

These words obviously contained a lot of information, which instantly made Jelena and others stunned.

"What big pie-faced guy in a cloak? What did you mean by what you just said?"

Hader raised the other party's collar and asked with a frown.

"It's just a Kaizi. He said that some brown-skinned Shuriman people might appear on the dock recently. He also said that you will definitely search for Ezreal's whereabouts. Let us help him lead you to the broken bridge to the east. "After the deed is completed, we will be given thirty rune gold coins as a thank you! It's a pity that Monkey King is too greedy and insists on causing trouble, otherwise"

"What else?"

"Otherwise! We will make a big mistake. Hahahaha"

"What the hell! Tell me! Where does Ezreal live? If you tell a lie, I will remove your bones!"

Harder punched the other party unceremoniously, interrupting the other party's laughter.

But then, the other party's answer once again plunged the entire alley into deathly silence.

died!

The Ezreal they were searching for so hard was actually dead!

And he has been dead for nearly twenty years!

For a moment, Jelena felt exhausted and staggered to sit on a wooden box not far away.

Quick and Anita looked at each other, both at a loss.

Only Harder, after repeatedly confirming the accuracy of the news, kicked the long-haired ruffian away and fell into silence.

But not long after, he suddenly raised his head again and looked at the broken bridge to the east: "Maybe we should go to Zu'an."

"Zu An?"

Jelena said she couldn't understand.

Quick and Anita also looked at Harder curiously.

"I once heard a comrade say that Zaun is the only place besides Bilgewater that harbors a large number of fugitives. At the same time, there should be an extraordinary intelligence network there. All we want is [Nezuk's Armguard]! If Ezreal dies, we will go find his son. If his son dies, we will go find his grandson. Even if his bloodline is cut off, relying on the huge black market network, we will definitely be able to find some useful clues."

Had said with a firm look.

This is the biggest difference between him and Yelina and others.

He has experienced despair that is more terrible than death, so no matter what situation he encounters, he will never give up his original intention easily.

"Yes! You are right! All we want is [Nezuk's Armguard]. Whether Ezreal is dead or not has nothing to do with us at all. Let's go! Go to Zaun! Go to the legendary Black Alley!"

Yelina said excitedly in an instant.

And then, he took the lead and stepped into the clean and spacious streets of Piltover again.

As for the enemy who wanted to plot against them, she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Because every time they wasted some time on the other party, they would lose some opportunities.

Poor Chen Jianzhou, he just wanted to have a dialogue with the Star-Forging Dragon King across time and space, but now, his original intention was misinterpreted, and he was delayed for nearly eight hours again.

If it weren't for the Eternal Battlefield still wanting to wait for a price, he didn't know how angry he would be.

Black Alley.

After some inquiries and twists and turns, everyone finally arrived at the largest intelligence acquisition center in Zaun - the Twilight Tavern.

As the name suggests, the store here is full of various glimmer potions.

Many people also developed diseases because they took too many glimmer potions.

Although they didn't lose all their sanity, their bodies had already undergone some strange and terrifying changes.

It was as if a man had grown two testicles on his chin, which made Anita stunned.

"Is this your first time in Zaun? Would you like some glimmer drinks? They're very exciting!"

After finding a place to sit down, a wretched figure approached skillfully.

As he spoke, he carefully lifted his sleeves, revealing several bottles that looked like test tubes.

There was some purple liquid full of starlight, which was not sticky and was constantly bubbling.

"We want to find someone."

Hader was very direct, took out a purse and handed it to the wretched man.

But in the face of such a generous gift, the man shook his head reluctantly: "Sorry. This is not my business."

After saying that, he pushed the purse back and left the crowd directly.

Not long after he left, a woman with tattoos all over her body came over carelessly and lit a cigarette: "Who are you looking for? Legendary creatures are 10,000, politicians are 1,000, tycoons are 800, bandits look at the wanted poster, and ordinary people are 20. I'm talking about gold coins."
