Chapter 81: Victor's Hope! The Truth of Zaun!
"It seems like it was just yesterday that I ran into a young scholar from Bottom City who had great ambitions."
On a drainage pipe in Piltover,
Heimerdinger conversing with Viktor.
From here, Victor can just see the small pond in Zaun.
That's where he used to play when he was a kid.
It was also there that he met the alchemist.
Wastewater from Piltover,
But it is a swimming pool for children in Zaan.
That's why Victor must commit to
The reason for applying Hextech technology to the lives of the lower classes!
However, Heimerdinger did not know this.
He couldn't even understand the sadness of Victor's dying.
"Have you ever thought about death, Professor?"
“I just think about the death of my friend.”
As a Yodel,
Heimerdinger possesses an infinite lifespan in the material realm.
Hundreds or even thousands of years are just a blink of an eye.
"You should be proud of what you have accomplished, Victor."
This was the only way he could comfort his students.
But Victor was not content with just this.
He still has greater ideals that have not been realized.
"It's all for nothing. My contribution is destined to be fleeting."
"Even you will soon forget it."
Heimerdinger did not refute this statement.
They looked towards the setting sun.
Just like Victor's life is about to burn out.
"I have met many students, and what is heartbreaking is that the more brilliant a person is, the faster they will burn out their life energy."
……
Also worried about Victor's health,
And his good friend, Jace.
"Victor is dying."
"I think it might be related to the poisonous gas in the city where he grew up."
Jace apologized to Mel for leaving without saying goodbye last night.
At the same time, he also told his bed partner about his troubles.
"That's exactly what we want to improve with hextech."
"Improve people's livelihood and solve real problems!"
“Rather than just promoting trade.”
Jayce has not forgotten the oath he and Viktor once made.
This is not just Victor's ideal.
It is also his ideal.
However, the congressman had to compromise with reality.
Before becoming a scientist,
He has to become a real politician first.
……
Victor, who is terminally ill, comes to the laboratory.
Maybe he wanted to spend the last moments of his life
Continue to burn your life for science.
However, he noticed
Before I fainted,
Blood left on the lab bench.
The blood has dried up,
However, this bloodstain,
But it showed signs of surging towards the Hextech core on the experimental table!
Victor gently used his fingers,
Go touch this amazing creation!
This also made him discover,
Ways to extend your life!
That is what Victor called the Hex Core.
Can react to organic matter,
It can even evolve itself!
Victor was so excited that he even forgot about his injury.
He called over his research partner, Jace.
Introduce him to this great new discovery!
"This is unlike anything we've ever found, Jace!"
“It may very well be the key to enhancing physiological functions and extending lifespan!”
Under the catalysis of Hex Core Power,
A seed suddenly grew into a complete plant!
Jess also realized this discovery.
What it means to Victor!
"You are saved!"
As long as we can understand the principle of Hex's core function,
It can extend Victor's life!
However, when the two talked,
This plant has just grown.
But it quickly declined,
Then it turned into a pile of ashes.
"It's like this every time I try it! I can't figure out why!"
“All experimental subjects are resisting transformation”
Victor looked very frustrated.
Jace put his hand on Viktor's shoulder.
Want to help your partner build confidence: “We will find a way.”
"time does not wait."
Victor shook his head.
“This is completely uncharted territory for us.”
"And...I can feel my body failing me."
He saw hope of survival.
But he seemed to be running out of time.
……
And at this time, in Zaun.
They also have a pair of partners who rely on each other.
They are also struggling to survive!
"Silco's minions are right behind us!"
Caitlin supported Wei and quickened her pace.
“We can’t stop!”
However, Wei's abdomen,
The wound caused by the mechanical arm continued to bleed.
To escape,
Wei jumped down from the high ground!
She brought Caitlyn to the bottom of Zaun!
This is the city within the city.
A place that even the people of Zaun are reluctant to come to.
Here we live in two cities,
The lowest level of people.
Wei was about to pass out from excessive blood loss.
I even had hallucinations before my eyes.
Just when Caitlin was trying to find a way to save Wei,
A character that is both familiar and unfamiliar to the audience.
Appeared in front of Caitlin.
"I am her friend, at least I used to be..."
"My life was given to me by her father."
"It may not even be just this life..."
Hearing these lines,
Immediately, some viewers remembered this character.
At the beginning of the previous video,
Fandel once helped this character named Harker,
He recovered his debt.
This weak Hake during the time of Vandel,
And you can do business with people.
If someone breaks the rules, Vander will step up to maintain order.
But during the reign of Hilco in Zaun,
He could only fall to the bottom of Zaun.
Just to survive in this world,
Not to mention, being able to live with dignity.
Just look at him curled up in his cloak and shivering.
The audience can imagine that
In the lawless Zaun,
How many people bully this weak character?
Caitlin also noticed something strange about him.
Under her questioning,
Only then did I realize that Hake used the glimmer.
This alchemical potion was originally used by Hilco to create monsters.
It seems that he has developed more uses for it.
This potion will not only make people indulge in empty fantasies,
It may even harm their bodies.
And think of it again,
Hilco's smuggling trade in Piltover!
In the airship, those barrels of glimmer potions!
All the audience in front of the screen,
I can instantly associate this potion with something!
——“Isn’t this just drugs!”
——"What the hell! Hilco is also involved in drug smuggling?"
——"Damn it! This guy really deserves to die!"
——"He deserves to be put to death! Cut into pieces!"
——"This bastard still has the nerve to say that he did it for Zaun?"
Silko used the Glimmer Potion to rule Zaun.
At the same time, this potion was also used.
To poison the lower classes of Zaun!
He killed Fandel,
Became the ruler of Zaun!
But Zaun is in his hands.
Has it really gotten better?
Those Zaun people who were still alive and well during Vandall's time,
For example, Huck
But he lived like a dog during the Hilco period!
This is what Hilco said,
The way out he was looking for for Zaun?
