Lao Sa and his group walked a total of ninety-seven long steps, climbed twenty-four straight ladders that did not seem to be very strong, climbed ten pipes, and climbed over an unknown number of walls to reach the upper floor. .

Lao Sa and Rui Er are okay, one is a **** who will never get tired, and the other is a girl who exercises after all. Nunu and Annie are both exhausted. In the end, they have to let Willump carry them, while Lao Sa uses soul arrows. It changed the cognition of others, making people think that Nunu and Annie were still walking on the ground.

But when everyone came to the upper level, they felt that all the hard work was worth it.

Compared with the air in the middle layer, the air in the upper layer smells so much better.

The upper layer finally came to the ground, and you can see the sky when you look up. It is already a little late, and it seems that it will be dusk soon, but the wind has been blowing, and the coolness it brings is unparalleled.

"Neeko is resurrected!" The first to be happy was Neeko. She finally recovered her spirits. Although she still disliked the smell in the air, she could still move normally after pinching her nose, unlike when she was in the middle layer. It looked like he was dying.

Annie and Nunu breathed a lot of fresh air, and even Rui Er took a deep breath. For those who came to Zaun for the first time, the air in the middle layer was too exciting.

"I don't want to go down again," said Annie.

"While I'm curious about what's on the ground floor, I also agree with Annie." Nunu is only now realizing how important clean air is.

Gnar and Willump were mediocre and didn't have any special reactions. Their vitality was far better than that of humans, and a little bit of dirty air couldn't affect them at all, but Gnar seemed to be concerned about the mutant mice and cockroaches scurrying around in the stinky ditch. The creature is full of hostility, and always wants to break free from the arms of Lisa and grab one.

"Okay kids, come with me, the Eldi orphanage is nearby." Khaki warmly followed the road.

Lao Sa took out the soul arrow, and suddenly clicked in front of Khaki's eyes.

"What are you doing?" Annie asked.

Lao Sa said: "Let him not hear our conversation. I seem to feel a very powerful elemental force, which is nearby."

"Neeko feels it too!" Neeko raised her hand and said, "What a powerful elemental power!"

"Is it strong?" Anne asked again.

"Probably as strong as my brothers and sisters," Lu Sa replied.

"Hey!" Nu Nunu sucked in a breath, "Are you as strong as Little Wolf, your brothers and sisters? That's too powerful!"

Annie remembered that Lao Sa's older brothers and sisters were the gods of Freljord. Although Annie only knew the ice crystal phoenix Anivia, who had a relationship with one another, according to Lu Sa's description, Anivia was still in the Weak period, but it has completely shocked Annie.

"Is such a powerful person nearby..." Annie was a little nervous.

"Definitely nearby! This must be the ultimate element! I can feel it without even having an arrow!"

Brand Sa was 100% sure.

"Anyway, let's go to the orphanage to fix it first." Rui'er said calmly, as long as the enemy was not Noxus and Black Rose, Rui'er would not be in a hurry. "Everyone is tired."

"Well." Lao Sa was not in a hurry, "Let's do it like this."

Everyone followed Khaki and saw the Elti Orphanage on the edge of a cliff. A fence was built on the cliff to prevent people from falling. The big orphanage was located at the end of the fence. Unassuming, but clean, which is unusual enough in most of Zaun's filthy, unmaintained buildings.

"Mother Eldi! Everyone!" Khaki waved to a large group of people at the gate of the orphanage from a distance, "I brought back guests!" "It's brother Khaki!"

"Why did you come back, Khaki! Do you know that we are all waiting for you!"

"It is clearly stipulated that you must come back before dusk! Khaki, you are disobedient!"

"Mother Eldi! Is it okay to punch Khaki's brother's ass!"

A group of children surrounded Khaki with laughter and noisiness. When they found the person behind him, they immediately forgot about Khaki.

"Wow! New friend!"

"Are you going to join the orphanage?"

"Your little bear is so cute! Can you let me touch it?"

"Can you fight? We can sleep together if we fight! My top bunk is still empty!"

The gossip of the children in the orphanage completely drowned out Lao Sa and the others. Everyone didn't know which one to go back to for a while, and they were all a little dizzy.

"Okay! Everyone!" At this moment, a middle-aged woman in an apron came over, "Don't scare them! Didn't you hear Khaki say they are guests? They didn't come to join the orphanage. Remember what I taught, guest What are you going to do here?"

"Remember, Mother Eldie."

"Say it again!"

"To entertain guests with warmth and sincerity."

"Then don't scare the guests, go back first and prepare dinner! Khaki stays."

The children looked at Lao Sa and the others reluctantly, but they still listened to Ertie's words and returned to the orphanage.

Lao Sa looked at this middle-aged woman, her appearance was not impressive, but her temperament was very special. Even though it was the first time to meet her, she could feel a kind of intimacy towards her, as if she had known her for a long, long time.

"Okay, everyone, let's go to the orphanage and talk." Erdy looked at everyone enthusiastically, "Let me hear how Khaki knew you."

"Mother Eldi, listen to me! This girl named Rui Er is amazing!" Khaki said excitedly, "She took the scumbags from the sewer gang in three or two springs..."

"No swearing." Ertie tapped Khaki on the head.

"Yes..." Khaki lowered his head as if he had lost his mind.

"Are you Mama Eldie?" Rael tried to politely communicate with Eldie, she hadn't done this in a long time, "My brothers and sisters and I were traveling through Zaun and couldn't find it. A place where you can live in peace, may I disturb you for one night?"

"Mother Eldi, please promise them." Khaki begged, "they are new here, and if they go to the hotel, they will definitely be slaughtered! And it's very dangerous for them to have no adults around!"

"It's up to you, of course I know." Ertie tapped the khaki again, then turned to look at the crowd, and said with a smile, "Of course there is no problem, the orphanage is willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, but we are not It's very rich, and I can let you live for two days at most, okay?"

"Okay, that's enough, thank you." Rui Er's impression of Eldie soared.

So everyone began to follow Erdy to the orphanage.

"Hey, did you notice it?" Neeko's voice sounded in Lisa's mind.

"Yeah." Lu Sa's eyes were fixed on Eldie's back. "She has... the ultimate element! This Eldie's mother is a powerhouse comparable to a god!"

Chapter 920 Night

Zaun's night was not a peaceful one.

The sound of the whistle of the steamship on the side of the strait, the sound of the machines operating in the factories and workshops of Zaun, and the faint sounds of quarrels, smashing, beating and scolding coming out of nowhere.

It was an ordinary night in Zaun.

Lao Sa and the others lived in the guest room of the orphanage. It was said to be a guest room, but it actually looked like a dormitory. It was full of bunk beds, but it was just enough for so many of them to sleep together.

In the evening, I had dinner with the people at the orphanage, and after playing together for a while, Roza and the others came to the room. Neeko was finally able to release the invisibility magic and began to stretch her big tail. Willump released the scarecrow. When he reached the corner of the wall, he used another freezing magic to freeze it to prevent it from suddenly doing something.

Annie carried a small bench, used it to tiptoe, and opened the window. The window of the room was facing the sea under the cliff, and the sea breeze that was not polluted by the waste gas of Zaan Chemical was blowing head-on. Annie couldn't help but take a deep breath and squinted comfortably. Eyes up.

"The sea breeze is so cool!" Nunu also dragged Willump to the window to blow air with Annie. Seeing this, Neeko also came over. Gradually, except for Gnar, who fell asleep on the ground, Everyone gathered by the window.

"What do you think this is?" Nunu was holding on to a strange cylinder placed beside the bed.

"Humph! Let Sister Neeko tell you!" The resurrected Neeko returned to her usual squeamish state, "It's called a telescope, you can see things far and far through it!"

"Really? It's amazing! But how to use it?" Nunu's eyes lit up.

"It's like a zigzag!" Neeko leaned in front of the telescope and aimed one eye at the lens barrel. "You can see far, far away with a zigzag! Huh? Why can't Neeko see anything at all?"

"You got it the other way around." Rui Er came over and turned the telescope over.

"Oh! Sure enough! Haha! Neeko seems to be the best!" Neeko still brazenly praised herself.

Everyone smiled helplessly. After getting along for so long, everyone gradually learned to accommodate Neeko.

Everyone started taking turns looking out the window through the binoculars.

"There's a city on the other side of the strait." Nunu saw across the sea, several magnificent bridges standing across, connecting Zaun's road to another city.

"Is that city also Zaun? It doesn't look like it." Anne asked curiously. "It feels much cleaner there."

"It should be Piltover," Rui Er said, "The city adjacent to Zaun is also famous for its technological inventions. I heard that the things they sell are much more stable than those in Zaun, but they are very expensive, so promise Texans still prefer to buy Zaun, at least that's what the military does, maybe rich people prefer Piltover."

"La Sa..." Annie looked at La Sa, "Can we go over there to play? I heard from the children here just now that there are a lot of very fun toys there."

"Huh? No problem." Lao Sa was also very interested in this. "By the way, are there any toys over there? Those weird little robot dolls like Zaun?"

"It shouldn't be that kind of thing." Rui Er said, "I've seen rich children bring it before. It's a delicate puppy made of brass and nakedness. Like a real puppy, it can move, bark, and squeak. Respond to human movements."

Lao Sa immediately became excited: "Is it the same as that big robot Blitz?"

"No, it's not the same." Rui Er shook her head. "Although that robot dog can move, it can only do repetitive movements. It won't be annoying if you tell it to sit down a hundred times. They all sit down the same way."

"Hey, that's boring." Losa's face was dull, "It's only interesting if a robot like Blitz has a mind and a soul."

Annie looked at Tibbers in her arms, and when she thought that those toys couldn't talk to her like Tibbers, her desire to go to Picheng to buy toys subsided a lot: "Forget it, I don't want toys anymore. ...

Why is Piltover so different from Zaun? How many bridges are they obviously separated by? "

"I don't know the specifics." Rael shrugged, "I only know that Mrs. Piltover is rich and Zaun is poor."

"Why?" Anne still didn't understand.

"Because of that." Lisa pointed to the bridges, "Those things are called 'Sun Gate', and they are controlled by Piltover. When a merchant fleet passes by here, they must pay taxes to Piltover. Control this place. , Piltover has a huge fortune coming in every day even if he doesn't do anything."

The children didn't understand much about economics, and could only nod their heads half-understood.

"Does it make you rich if you control the strait?" Nunu doesn't care much about money, but he likes those bridges that are built very large, especially when they see that they can deform and rise to keep the ships below safe. After passing, "Little Wolf, when we return to Freljord, let's go and build a few bridges like this, okay?"

"Isn't there a bridge in Frostguard Fortress?"

"That bridge is built on the abyss! It's not the sea, so how can ships pass."

"Does the Freljord have bridges too?" Anne asked.

"Yes, my brother Ram Ornn built it many, many years ago, Willump do me a favor." Lisa asked Willump to release the snowflakes, and the snow began to pile up neatly, turning into a one-person-high The model of the castle looks like, and there is a bridge in front of the castle, "See? This is the Frostguard Fortress, where I grew up, and in front of it is a big cliff that can't be seen to the bottom under the bridge, which is comparable to Zaun's. The elevator shaft is much deeper. The wind blows there every day and it makes a monster-like wailing, so we call it the Howling Abyss."

Anne was a little fascinated: "Can I go to the Freljord in the future?"

"There will be a chance." Lao Sa smiled.

Rui'er snapped her fingers suddenly: "Oh right, I know one more thing, look there."

Rael pointed to the tallest of Piltover's countless beautiful buildings: "See that blue-light tower?"

Everyone looked and saw a tall tower standing in the center of Piltover.

The tower exudes a faint blue halo, forming a halo like a rainbow, and a group of large airships are slowly flying outside the tower.

"What is that?" Nunu couldn't understand.

"That should be Piltover's famous 'Hex Flying Gate'." Rui Er said, "A miracle that can achieve ultra-long distance teleportation."

"Ultra-long-distance teleportation?" Lu Sa stared at the tower through the telescope.

"I heard that that thing can send goods from Piltover to anywhere in the world in an instant." Rui Er said, "It's fast and safe, so you don't have to worry about any accidents during transportation. Only valuable goods will be transported. Hex Flygate Transport."

"Teleportation..." Annie looked at Rosa, "Isn't that how we were brought to Zaun?"

Lao Sa stared at the tower closely: "Well...it's quite similar to my master's teleportation magic, but it's not exactly the same..."

"It's normal." Rui Er didn't care much. "The world is so big, and your master will not be the only one who can teleport magic."

"That's right." Roza left the telescope, "But Hexfeimen? I really want to go up and see if I have a chance."

Others are ashamed, if Lao Sa said so, then he would definitely dare to do it.

"It's better to go to bed tonight, it's too late." Rui Er saw that Annie was yawning, and said, "Wake up tomorrow and decide what to do next."

"I want to be with Annie!" Neeko raised her hand high.

Everyone began to fall asleep individually, only Lao Sa lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

It's not because the noise of Gnar's teeth grinding next to him is too loud, but because there is always a strange feeling in Lisa.

It was as if the wind blowing in outside the window was calling him.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Sa got up from the bed and left the room quietly without disturbing the others.

"Ah... I came out, but what are you going to do?" Lao Sa stretched out, "Why don't you go and climb the Hexfeit door... um... it's okay, if you're not careful, It would be troublesome if it was sent to where and separated from everyone."

Lao Sa was walking in the corridor, and suddenly, a figure on the corridor terrace caught his attention.

"Who hasn't slept like me so late?" Lao Sa saw that the back was tall, obviously not the child in the orphanage.

"Dean Eldi?" Lao Sa walked over slowly, "Is that you?"

The figure turned around, and it was indeed Eldie.
